Former Super Falcons defender Onome Ebi has this to say about Ashleigh Plumptre:

“You see this girl, eh? I feel we are the same from different parents . Best replacement for the number, 5, which means a lot to me and makes me satisfied after 20 years. Same birthday 8, same birthmonth 5, different birthyear. Now you just have to change the name on the jersey from Ebi to Plumptre ⚽️. 5. The energy, discipline, consistency, dedication are almost same . I am proud ⚽️.”

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, has revealed how he turned down an offer of a multimillion-naira house, requesting that the funds be used for the public good.

In a statement on Sunday marking his 64th birthday, Obi said he turned down the N120 million house gift during his 50th birthday when he was governor of Anambra state.

While lamenting the scale of suffering and deprivation confronting Nigerians, he called for the redirection of resources to support the country’s health and educational institutions.

Obi noted that while he does not personally celebrate birthdays, he prefers that resources meant for him be redirected to projects that benefit the public.

“I recall vividly when I turned 50 during my time as governor. One institution offered to build me a house in the village. When I asked for the cost, they said ₦120 million. I requested that the funds be used instead to build classrooms in three institutions across Agulu, Ekwulobia and Abatete. They obliged—and the impact was far-reaching.

Portable, recently made headlines after the way he did after meeting with Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Tinubu at Seyi Vodi's birthday party in Abuja. Video below.
