A Lagos lawyer, Moronfolu Abayomi, was shot dead in a Lagos courthouse at Tinubu Square on August 25, 1923, three months and 15 days after his wedding day. Abayomi's killer was a popular Lagos entrepreneur and "big boy”, Duro Delphonso, from the renowned Delphonso family. Delphonso was in a legal battle with his insurance company, and the case went to court. The insurance company then hired a young and vibrant lawyer, Barrister Moronfolu Abayomi. As the case proceeded, the young barrister was able to prove clearly that Delphonso committed arson on his home and business in order to defraud the insurance company. On August 25, 1923, when Delphonso was being led out of the court to begin his prison sentence, the convict shot Abayomi with a revolver and turned the same gun and shot himself. Barrister Moronfolu Abayomi died from excessive blood loss while he was in transit to the hospital. The bullet had penetrated his lungs. Delphonso himself was hospitalised, but the Lagos “big boy” refused to be treated and died six days later on August 31, 1923. The Barrister’s young widow, Oyinkansola, was devastated and refused to love any man again until six years later, in 1929, when a young doctor, Kofoworola John Abayomi (who incidentally bore the same surname as her late husband), asked for her hand in marriage. She agreed, and they got married the next year in 1930. They remained married for the next 48 years, until Sir Kofoworola Abayomi’s death on January 1, 1979. He was 82. Lady Oyinkansola Abayomi would live to the ripe old age of 93. The Kofo Abayomi Street in Victoria Island, Lagos, is named in his honour. #HistoryVille #CrimeStories

Arise TV anchor, Charles Aniagolu's question to Daniel Bwala is like a fly that perched on the scrotum - if you try to kill it, you will crush the scrotum; if you leave it, it will cause great discomfort. Nobody defends Tinubu and sounds sane. Watch.

Crazy thing I saw today: Seyi Tinubu was asking AI to list Tinubu's achievements to the former finance minister. He acknowledged that his father has failed so badly that they now depend on AI to tell Nigerians what he has achieved. Never reinforce this failure in 2027. #NigeriaWillBeOK #VoteNDC

🚨 Thierry Henry Compares Victor Osimhen to Erling Haaland: 🗣️ For the past few seasons, I feel Victor Osimhen has been sidelined in football conversations. His name is not mentioned as much as it used to be, especially from his time at Napoli. But he joined Galatasaray and has kept the exact same form. We could talk about his numbers all day, but my main question is simple: why is he not higher in the conversation? Why is he not mentioned more? For me, he is still right up there. When we talk about the best strikers in the world right now - Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland - Victor Osimhen cannot be left on the bench in that discussion. Sometimes it would be very difficult to choose who starts in a combined team. Harry Kane is the Ballon d’Or winner, of course. Kylian Mbappé is right behind him - both fully deserved. So who is left? Erling Haaland and Victor Osimhen. Looking at these two, both are absolute animals in the final third. But let me ask you something… do you think if Victor Osimhen played at Manchester City, with those players around him, he would achieve the same as Erling Haaland? For me, I think he would do even more. And what if Erling went to Galatasaray? Don’t get me wrong, Galatasaray have very good players. But would he make the same noise Victor is making over there right now? This also reminds me of when Barcelona showed interest in Victor Osimhen. Under Hansi Flick, that would have been one of the most feared attacking teams in Europe if it had happened. For me, Victor Osimhen still has the potential to go far above where he is right now. A Ballon d’Or is possible. Africans have the talent. They just need the right platform and the recognition that comes with it.

Manchester United are keeping a close watch on Calvin Bassey after being impressed by the Fulham defender’s performances this season, with @TEAMtalk understanding that interest in the Nigerian international is growing. teamtalk.com/manchester-unit…
