A lecturer at the University of Benin, Prof Osarhieme Osadolor, has blamed Nigeria’s persistent development challenges on the self-interest of political leaders, warning that meaningful nation-building will not occur until leadership prioritises the collective good over personal and ethnic interests.

The dust has settled on a frantic Matchday 1 of the 2025/26 Premier League season, with Manchester United’s hosting of Arsenal on Super Sunday offering a tantalising opening day encounter. Amidst the various narratives leading up to this historic fixture, the Gunners left Old Trafford with all three points after a pulsating affair. Indeed, there was a firm reminder that this is only the first game of the season as both sides showed a lot of early deficiencies.

Manchester United and Arsenal will clash for the second time in the league in the 2024/25 season as the exciting action in the English Premier League enters Matchday 28. The fixture once regarded as the biggest game of the season as it normally decided the title winners has fallen off in recent years due to the decline of both teams. The match is scheduled to take place at the Old Trafford stadium in Manchester and is billed to hold on the 8th of March, 2025.
