Political Highlights

The Federal High Court in Abuja made headlines when it threw out evidence against IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu. The court said any statements taken without a lawyer breached Supreme Court rules, sparking talk about coercion by security forces. It’s a reminder that legal safeguards still matter in Nigeria’s tense political climate.

Across the continent, Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto stepped onto Jakarta’s Monas stage for a massive May Day rally. Workers demanded higher wages and better job security, and the president answered with promises of tighter regulations and more support for unions. The scene felt like a real showdown between labor and government – a clear sign that economic issues are front‑and‑center in Southeast Asia.

Sports Spotlight

Football fans were buzzing over Florian Wirtz’s social media hints. Liverpool seemed ready to outbid Bayern Munich, even Real Madrid entered the chatter. Sources say Wirtz prefers the Reds, but Bayern isn’t giving up yet – meaning a record‑breaking deal could still happen.

In golf, the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow set a projected cut line of +1. Big names like Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka were on thin ice, while surprise leader Jhonattan Vegas kept everyone guessing. Mud‑ball complaints and wild betting odds added extra drama to an already tense start.

European football delivered a classic semi‑final when Arsenal faced PSG in Paris. Down 1‑0 after the first leg, the Gunners chased their first Champions League final since 2006. History shows only two teams ever turned around a home loss – could Arsenal join that elite group? The winner now eyes a showdown with Inter Milan.
