Lessons: From Street King to Canvas Casualty — Portable Enters the Ring With Swagger, Leaves With Lecture Notes

  In the unwritten constitution of the universe, light must shine and darkness must respectfully take the back seat. Yet, in this particular episode of “Ring Affairs,” it wasn’t light that did the shining, it was fists, well-delivered and properly guided. Portable, ever the theatrical maestro, arrived with the full package: swagger, chants, and a spiritual consultation that would make even ancient warriors nod in approval. Incantations were rendered, energies were aligned, and followers were entertained. It was less a boxing entrance, more a cultural festival with side attractions. But inside the ropes, reality doesn’t subscribe to vibes. Enter Carter Efe, calm, calculated, and suspiciously well-prepared. While one came with noise, the other came with notice. His fists moved like officially stamped documents-cleared, approved, and delivered straight to their destination.  Notably, Carter Efe was saintly composed, white garments, solemn prayers, and the quiet confidence of a ma...

Trump Plans Meetings with Zelensky and Putin Amid Global Tensions

Trump told European leaders during a call yesterday that he intends to sit down with President Vladimir Putin of Russia as soon as next week. He then aims to meet with both Putin and the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, according to two people familiar with Trump’s plan.


It was not immediately clear whether Putin or Zelensky had agreed to the joint meeting. Zelensky said in a statement that he had had a conversation with Trump and that he and Europe’s leaders agreed that the war in Ukraine “must end,” but that it must be “an honest end.”


Trump’s announcement came after his envoy, Steve Witkoff, met with Putin. Russian news agencies reported that the talks in the Kremlin lasted about three hours.


Trump has been stymied for months in his efforts to negotiate a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine after more than three years of war.

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
