Born July 19, 1986, Omobayo hails from Akoko Edo local government area (LGA) of the state.
The 37-year-old has a B.Eng Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering and an MSc in Public Administration from the University of Benin (UNIBEN), preparing for the role of a professional and an expert in public administration.
Before his new appointment, he served as a Senior Maintenance Engineer at Dresser Wayne West Africa Limited, cutting his professional teeth in the operations in the South-South area.
The new deputy governor is also said to be active in politics in his local government.
He was the Labour Party (LP) house of representatives candidate for Akoko Edo federal constituency in the 2023 election.
Napoli’s striker Victor Osimhen’s recent struggles have raised doubts within Chelsea’s hierarchy regarding a potential summer move.
Osimhen’s sparkling form at the start of the season had made him one of the most sought-after strikers in world football, with the Blues among the clubs keen to secure his services.
“At the start of the season and entering into 2024, Osimhen was undoubtedly regarded as one of the best strikers in world football,” remarked football journalist Carlo Garganese. “He scored 31 goals in 39 games in all competitions last season as Napoli won their first Scudetto in 33 years,” he added.
However, as the season has progressed, Osimhen’s form has deteriorated alarmingly.
“However, this term, the Nigerian’s form has fallen off badly, particularly in recent months. In 14 games in 2024, Osimhen has only scored in four matches. He also has just one assist in that time. His general level of performance has also been hugely disappointing,” Garganese added.
Osimhen’s struggles were laid bare in Napoli’s 3-1 Champions League defeat to Barcelona, where he won just one of his 10 duels. “He also gave the ball away 11 times and did not win it back once,” Garganese noted.
“Osimhen was offside four times in the first 20 minutes and was dominated by Barcelona’s 17-year-old rookie Pau Cubarsi,” he said.
The 25-year-old’s recent showing against Atalanta, where he was nullified by Isak Hien in a 3-0 home loss, has only compounded concerns over his form.
“There are suggestions that Osimhen’s impending departure from Napoli has caused him to lose motivation,” Garganese remarked.
These concerns have cast doubts in the mind of Chelsea owner Todd Boehly, who knows acquiring Osimhen would require a significant financial outlay. “The Blues have splashed out over €1 billion in the last 18 months since Boehly bought the club, and he is under pressure – also due to FFP – to not waste any more money,” Garganese explained.
Despite their lavish expenditure, Chelsea have endured a dismal campaign, currently languishing in 9th place. “One of Chelsea’s biggest problems has been their lack of firepower. As such, the Blues have made the signing of a top striker a priority in the summer,” Garganese added.
While Osimhen remains on Chelsea’s shortlist, reports suggest that Paris Saint-Germain have now taken pole position in the race for his signature amidst the Blues’ uncertainties.
It is understood that Osimhen has decided to leave Napoli at the end of the season.
“His relationship with the club has soured following the TikTok scandal, in which their social media team mocked his penalty miss against Bologna,” Garganese noted.
However, despite Napoli’s struggle this season, Osimhen is on a course to prove his doubter wrong, as he scored his 12th league goal of the season in their comeback 4-2 win at Monza on Sunday.
After going down by a goal early in the first half, the Nigerian levelled matters 10 minutes into the second half, and that spurred a ruthless resurgence with more goals from Matteo Politano, Piotr Zieliński, and Giacomo Raspadori.
Osimhen rose high to head home Frank Anguissa’s cross and didn’t mind injuring his nose during the bad fall. The equaliser was his 111th club career goal as he prepares for another adventure at another club next season.
Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) in the Americas has proposed the inclusion of diaspora absentee voting options to enhance the democratic process and representation in Nigeria’s elections.
The organisation made the call in a memo sent via e-mail to the National Assembly and shared with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in New York.
The Committee on Constitution Review, under the leadership of Deputy Speaker of House of Representative, and its Chairman, Hon. Benjamin Kalu had called for Memoranda proposing further alterations to the 1999 Nigerian Constitution under 16 thematic areas.
The organisation, in a memo to the Committee, noted that incorporating the suggestion and others in the Constitution under review would advance democracy in Nigeria.
“Under thematic Area six: Electoral Reforms; we propose strengthening the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure fair, credible, free, and transparent elections.
“This includes advocating for the inclusion of diaspora absentee voting options to enhance the democratic process and representation.’’
Under thematic Area Nine on gender issues, NIDO Americas emphasises addressing gender-based violence (GBV) by urging all 36 states to adopt and implement the previously passed Violence Against People Prohibition (VAPP) Bill.
“This is essential to protecting the rights and well-being of all citizens, particularly women and vulnerable populations’
On thematic area two; local government Autonomy, the organisation proposed that local government autonomy should be handled with utmost importance.
It stated that it should be handled with utmost importance and should not depend on the actions of state governors.
“Currently, about 15 states in Nigeria run their local governments with constitutionally elected Council members. The concerned state governments only installed the caretaker or transition committee to run the Local Government affairs.’’
Under thematic area 16 on any other matter, NIDO Americas highlighted the pressing need to address major insecurity issues, including kidnapping, human trafficking, killings, and the plight of over four million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Nigeria.
“It is imperative to bring perpetrators of terrorism and other criminal activities to justice and restore peace and stability in affected regions.
“We urge the Committee to incorporate these proposals as amendments to the constitution under review to advance democracy, human rights, security, local governance autonomy in Nigeria.
The Committee had set an April 10 deadline for government and private entities as well as Nigerians in the Diaspora, Diplomats, and the public to submit their proposals.
Responding to the memo, Kalu, on behalf of the 10th House of Representatives, National Assembly, thanked NIDO Americas for active participation in the Constitution Review Process.
“Your commitment to the democratic process and dedication to shaping the future of our nation through constructive engagement are commendable.
“Your input is vital in ensuring that our constitution reflects the aspirations and values of all Nigerians.
“Please, be assured that your suggestions and feedback will be carefully considered as we continue our efforts to strengthen our democracy and uphold the principles of justice, equality, and progress for all citizens,’’ he said via e-mail.
Earlier at the inauguration of the Committee, Kalu, had disclosed that the House received 40 bills regarding the review and amendment of the nation’s Constitution.
He added that the House is considering the December 2025 deadline to complete the review and amendment.
He said, “It is the view of Mr Speaker that we set a realistic timeline that does not conflict with electoral activities which would advertently or inadvertently affect the alteration process, specifically, December 2025.
“This is time we are looking at to conclude the activities of this committee,’’ he said. (NAN)

Our football betting expert brings you their Atletico Madrid vs Dortmund predictions ahead of their clash on April 10th. The Champions League quarter-finals are always a footballing feast and this game promises to be no different.
Atletico Madrid vs Dortmund Predictions & Tips Atletico Madrid to win @ 1.80 Bet9ja GG @ 1.81 Bet9ja Adeyemi to score @ 6.50 Bet9ja Atletico Madrid to win & GG @ 12.75 Bet9ja Depay to score @ 2.90 Bet9ja 2nd half – GG @ 3.40 Bet9ja GG & Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.22 Bet9ja
Atletico Madrid should have enough to beat Dortmund 2-1 in the first leg. Home Crowd Can be the Difference-Maker Atletico Madrid are no strangers to going deep into the Champions League under Diego Simeone. They have finished as runners-up on two occasions and know the importance of picking up a result in their home matches. They have won all four of their European matches at the Wanda Metropolitana this season. Simeone’s men are unbeaten in their last nine league home matches in this competition.
Atleti have lost just two of their 22 home games across all competitions this season. They averaged 1.27 more goals than their opponents over that period. Dortmund have won just three of their last 10 matches on the road in this competition.
Bet 1: Atletico Madrid to win @ 1.80 Bet9ja Shaky Defences on Display Although Diego Simeone earned a reputation for being a defensive coach, his Atletico Madrid side have shifted from that approach in recent years. They have shifted their strategy to a more attacking one. They have scored in 20 of their 22 home matches this season, with an average of 2.27 goals per game. However, their newly found attacking impetus has come at the expense of defensive solidity, with Atlet keeping just one clean sheet in their last 10 games.
Dortmund have found the net in their last six Champions League matches, so we are backing both teams to score here. This bet landed when they played PSV away from home in the last round.
Bet 2: GG @ 1.81 Bet9ja
Adeyemi is a Threat Karim Adeyemi has had to work hard for his place in the Dortmund side this season. His remarkable pace, combined with excellent ball control, makes him a potent threat in the attacking third. Adeyemi has scored three goals in his last six appearances for his club and should start this one.
The youngster has netted twice in the Champions League this season and his stats for the season show promise. His non-penalty xG of 0.43 per 90 minutes played put him in the 84th percentile of wingers and attacking midfielders across Europe’s top five leagues. Adeyemi also scored in his last Champions League start.
Bet 3: Adeyemi to score @ 6.50 Bet9ja Home Side to Triumph in End-to-End Clash The last of our tips is for the home side to win and both teams to score in the match. This bet is available at odds of 12.75 using Bet9ja’s GG and 1×2 combined market. This combines our first two picks. Atletico Madrid have conceded in their last three victories. This bet landed as they beat Inter 2-1 in their last Champions League match.
Dortmund have scored in their last five matches on the road. Expect them to pose a threat here, but they should ultimately come up short against a formidable force at home, particularly in this competition.
Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) Americas has called on the Federal Government to prioritise the safety and well-being of the citizens.
The organisation, in a statement signed by the Board of Trustees (BOT) and Board of Directors (BOD) the USA, Brazil, and Canada, said discussion on Nigeria’s security challenges could not be overlooked.

“We, BOT and BOD, Americas, extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Nigerian government for its recent successful efforts in rescuing all the children kidnapped in Kaduna.
“While we commend this swift action, it is imperative to recongnise that the issue of insecurity in Nigeria extends beyond isolated incidents and deserves broader attention,” the organisation said.
NIDO Americas also noted that the insecurity around farmlands had worsened food security, threatened the livelihoods of farmers, and exacerbated the already dire economic situation in the country.
“This cannot be overlooked in our discussion of Nigeria’s security challenges.
“While we acknowledge the recovery efforts and commend the authorities for their rescue operations, we cannot ignore the frequency of such incidents and the underlying issues contributing to them.”
The organisaton urged the federal government to intensify efforts at fostering a safer environment for all Nigerians. (NAN)

What is Eid al-Fitr, and how is it celebrated?

Eid was originated by the Islamic Prophet Muhammad, who is the founder of Islam. The Prophet arrived in Madinah and found people celebrating two festivities. They celebrated by entertaining themselves with recreation and merriment.

He asked them about the nature of these festivities, after which they replied that the days were occasions of fun and enjoyment. At that point, the Prophet remarked that the Almighty had fixed two days of festivity. The Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha festive holidays have been born.
This holiday or festival is also known as the “Festival of breaking the fast.” It is celebrated to mark the end of the holy month, “Ramadan.” Eid is the only day of the month of Ramadan that Muslims are not permitted to fast. They greet each other by saying “Eid Mubarak,” – which means “Happy Holiday.”
Eid al-Fitr concludes the 29 or 30 days of fasting by Muslims. It falls precisely on the first day of the month of Shawwal. During the Eid commencement, people offer special Islamic prayers. The Islamic prayer consists of two rakats (units), which are done in an open field or large hall.

The prayer can only be performed in a congregation (jama’at) and has six Takbirs. Hands are raised to the ears while saying “Allahu ‘Akbar” to mean “God is the greatest.” The six Takbirs are divided such that three of them are at the beginning of the first raka’ah and the other three just before ruku. This is according to the Hanafi school of Sunni Islam.
Shia Islam also has six Takbirs but recites them differently from Sunni Islam. Other Sunni Islam schools have 12 Takbirs; seven at the first and the other five at the beginning of the second raka’ah. The Eid al-Fitr depends on which opinion is followed and preference advised by the Muslims.

What is the purpose of Eid el Fitr?
The purpose of Eid al-Fitr is to celebrate the spiritual achievements gained during Ramadan, which include increased devotion to God, self-discipline, and acts of charity towards the poor and needy.
During the celebration, Muslims share the word with those who seek help. Sharing is one of the teachings of Islam.
It is also considered a public holiday in some countries and in the Muslim community. The festivity comes with the preparation of Eid cuisine and traditional delicacies. The food is also shared, and donations are made to the less fortunate. It is also a season of giving to charities.
Women receive unique gifts from their loved ones during this festive season. Eid is one of the best holidays for the Muslim community. Elaborate banquets are set in some countries, throwing a big feast to the community.

The holy month of Ramadan
Ramadan is the Islamic holy month of fasting (sawm). It commemorates when the Quran was first revealed to the Islamic Prophet, Muhammad. The fasting is done during the 29 or 30 days from dawn to sunset.
What are Ramadan dates for 2024?
Ramadan in 2024 began on the evening of Sunday, March 10, 2024, and will end on Tuesday, April 9, 2024. The actual dates depend on the moon sighting and may vary by day.
The Islamic calendar used to date the holy event is a lunar calendar and indicates Ramadan as the ninth month. The holy month teaches the art of building a better relationship spiritually and not desiring earthly things. When fasting, the Muslim community follows specific guidelines to fully engage in the spiritual realm.

They abstain from drinking water, eating food, immoral acts, and anger. The guidelines are to be strictly followed during the holy month. Giving to charity, reciting verses from the Quran, and praying are some activities done during Ramadan.
As mentioned in the Quran, the Muslim community believes God commands them to continue their fast until the last day of Ramadan. They also pay the Zakat al-Fitr before offering the Eid prayers when the end of Ramadan approaches.
Is Eid al-Fitr a public holiday?
Yes, Eid al-Fitr is a public holiday in many countries worldwide, particularly in Islamic countries where Islam is the predominant religion. In countries where Islam is not the predominant religion, Eid al-Fitr may not be a public holiday, but employers may allow Muslim employees time off to celebrate the holiday.

The time for the Eid al-Fitr prayer may vary depending on the location and the local custom, but it is typically performed after the sun has risen and before noon.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, during which Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. It is considered the holiest month in the Islamic calendar. It is observed as a time of spiritual reflection, increased devotion to God, and acts of charity towards the poor and needy. Muslims fast during this month to purify their souls and attain nearness to God.
On the other hand, Eid al-Fitr is a festival that marks the end of the month-long fast of Ramadan. It is celebrated on the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal and is a time of joy, gratitude, and celebration.

When is Eid al-Fitr in 2024? Eid al-Fitr is expected to be celebrated on Wednesday, April 10 or Thursday, April 11th. Most countries are looking to celebrate this year’s Eid al-Fitr with pomp and glory. Muslims will come together to feast, enjoy, and share joy. The less fortunate are considered family and blessed during this festive season. Sharing and spreading love is essential during Eid. The holiday is expected to last for one to three days.
