Why Super Eagles players didn’t want to go to 2026 World Cup – Onugkha

Rodina Moscow forward, German Onugkha has claimed that Super Eagles players lacked the motivation to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup because they were already wealthy. He said the players failed to secure Nigeria’s qualification for the tournament because they had little incentive to participate, given their financial status. Born in Moscow to a Russian mother and a Nigerian father, Onugkha has pledged his international future to Nigeria. He declined a call-up to the Russian national team for friendly matches against Thailand and Vietnam in September 2024. Nigeria failed to qualify for the expanded 48-team FIFA World Cup after losing 4-3 on penalties to the Democratic Republic of Congo in the African playoff final. Onugkha argued that Nigeria had enough quality to qualify for the 2026 World Cup but attributed the failure partly to a lack of motivation among the players. Asked about his support for the Nigerian national team, Onugkha told Match TV: “Yes, it was disappointing that they didn’t qualify for the World Cup. “However, individuals lack motivation to participate there. Examining their roster—with such calibre of players, World Cup qualification should be achievable. “They possess a roster valued at approximately half a billion dollars, yet they failed to qualify. In my assessment, they lacked the desire to go there. They would prefer six weeks of vacation over tournament participation.” Onugkha played for Turkish Süper Lig club Kayserispor last season, when the team was relegated. He also faced Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen during the campaign. He added: “I have a lot of money already. Additional wealth would not benefit Osimhen. It becomes immediately apparent you do not comprehend the Nigerian mentality (laughs). “There’s just no motivation, that’s all. I remember Osimhen playing against us for Galatasaray. “He’d scored two goals by the 20th minute; he was a beast! And then I look at the World Cup qualifiers—it’s clear he doesn’t want to play.” Why Super Eagles players didn’t want to go to 2026 World Cup – Onugkha

Turkey: What Galatasaray coach said as Osimhen returns with assist in 3-1 win over Kasimpasa

Galatasaray assistant coach, İrfan Saraloğlu has spoken about Victor Osimhen’s return from injury following the Nigerian striker’s contribution to the club’s 3-1 victory over Kasimpasa on Friday evening. The Nigerian international, who suffered an injury during Galatasaray’s 3-2 victory over Istanbul Başakşehir in September, was introduced in the second half of the match. The former Napoli forward replaced Deniz Gul with 13 minutes remaining as Galatasaray sought to secure the win at Rams Park. Osimhen, who created several scoring opportunities after coming on, provided an assist for the team’s final goal, scored by Gabonese midfielder Mario Lemina in the closing stages of the match. Following the match, Saraloğlu disclosed that Galatasaray’s performance declined after Lucas Torreira was sent off in the 65th minute. “During the second half, following the dismissal, we became more defensive, and our tactical structure was compromised. “However, I must note that Sanchez was out of position when the goal was conceded. They capitalised on that space,” he stated, according to Galatasaray’s official website. The Galatasaray assistant coach also explained the reason for introducing Osimhen late in the match, emphasising that the club prioritised preventing a recurrence of his injury. “Osimhen has only recently recovered from injury, so we needed to manage his workload carefully. We also had to consider the welfare of players returning from international commitments,” he added. Osimhen will be pleased with his comeback from injury and will aim to maintain his impressive form throughout the 2026/2027 season. Before his injury, the Nigerian forward had scored six goals and provided two assists in four matches against Corum FK, Erzurumspor FK, Göztepe and Istanbul Başakşehir.

Navi Pillay wins Nobel Peace Prize, other 2026 laureates announced

Navanethem “Navi” Pillay has been awarded the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to promote peace and international law and ensure that war crimes and genocide are prosecuted. The Norwegian Nobel Committee noted that the laureate’s exceptional courage and integrity had paved the way towards a more comprehensive global legal order. Born into a family of Indian Tamil origin in Durban, South Africa, Pillay has served as a judge of the High Court of South Africa, the International Criminal Court and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. She also served as the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and recently chaired the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The Nobel Committee called Navi Pillay “one of the great defenders of international legal principles in our time,” noting that her career illustrates the need to strengthen and expand the global rule of law. While noting that judges deserve praise for guarding the red line between order and chaos, the committee decried the fact that “these same judges are sanctioned, and their institutions are attacked.” The committee reminded the international community that the rule of law underpins the system established to ensure peace and resolve conflicts non-violently. The 85-year-old Pillay said she was humbled by the recognition and the reactions it had generated, adding, “You don’t want to receive an award unless the public agrees that you deserve this.” The lawyer recalled her recent work, which produced a report classifying the situation in Gaza as genocide, a declaration the Nobel team described as courageous. “Why would you need courage to speak the truth?” Pillay asked. “You interpret the law, you look at all the facts, so it’s an impartial decision-making.” Francis Halzen, a Belgian physicist, won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics for his decisive contributions to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos of astrophysical origin. The 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to French chemist Henri B. Kagan and a Japanese chemist for their discovery of non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric organic synthesis. Karl Deisseroth, an American, and Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel, both Germans, won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their method explaining how nerve cells shape memories and feelings. The 76-year-old Canadian poet and essayist Anne Carson was awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature for her “bold and inventive oeuvre,” which has created new forms of contemporary literature.
