AFCON: CAF AWARDS NIGERIA 3 GOALS, 3 POINTS; FINES LIBYA $50,000

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has awarded Nigeria a 3-0 win and full three points in the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Libya.

The governing body announced the verdict in a statement on Saturday.

The Super Eagles faced significant challenges, including a redirected flight, over 18 hours of delays, and logistical issue during a trip for return leg of the 1-0 match in favour of Nigeria in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

A statement by CAF Disciplinary Board in its ruling on Saturday, signed by the chairman, Ousmane Kane, said the Disciplinary Board ruled met and decided as follows:

“The Libya Football Federation is found to have breached Article 31 of the Africa Cup of Nations Regulations as well as Articles 82 and 151 of the CAF Disciplinary Code.

“The match No. 87 Libya v. Nigeria of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers 2025 (scheduled to be played on 15 October in Benghazi) declared lost by forfeit by Libya (by a score of 3-0).

“The Libya Football Federation is ordered to pay a fine of USD 50,000. The fine is to be paid within 60 days of notification of the present decision. All other and further motions or prayers for relief are dismissed,” the statement said.

The implication is that Nigeria is now poised to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, with two matches to spare.

The Eagles now have 10 points from four matches, four points better than second-placed Benin Republic, while Rwanda have five points.

Bottom-placed Libya have only one point and are out of the running for qualification.

After the 46th Ordinary General Assembly in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, CAF President, Patrice Motsepe, had vowed that appropriate action would be taken on the issue.

During his address, Motsepe who refrained from any detailed explanation on the incident, said CAF would no longer tolerate such instances across the continent.

But he assured that “the process had been properly investigated and appropriate action would be taken”.

    NIGERIAN MUSICIANS WHO FEEL FROM FAME

    NIGERIAN MUSCIANS WHO FELL FROM FAME In the fast-paced Nigerian music industry, many artists rise to stardom only to experience sudden declines in their careers. While some make comebacks, others face challenges that prevent them from maintaining the level of success they once had. In this article, we will explore the stories of Nigerian musicians like Dammy Krane, Sean Tizzle, Tekno, Klever Jay, and Runtown—who once topped the charts but are now navigating periods of struggle. Eyes Of Lagos reports, Though Dammy Krane has tried to revive his career with new music and collaborations, the impact of the scandal has lingered, and he has not regained the level of success he once enjoyed. Several years passed without major hits, and fans began to question his whereabouts. Though he returned with new music in 2019 and 2020, Sean Tizzle’s popularity has never reached the height it once did. His failure to maintain consistency and follow-up with hits has led to a decline in his fanbase, making him one of the most notable examples of a career that went from grace to grass. Despite the controversy, Tekno tried to stay relevant by releasing new music, but his career has not quite returned to its previous level of success. While he is still active in the music scene, his peak seems to have passed, and he has faced increasing competition from newer artists. Despite several releases, Klever Jay never managed to get back to the same level of fame and recognition he once had. His lack of consistent hits and the ever-changing nature of the music industry left him struggling to reclaim his place in the spotlight. However, Runtown’s career took a hit after his legal battles with his former record label, Eric Many. The dispute led to a hiatus, and Runtown struggled to keep up the momentum. Though he returned with new music in 2020, it wasn’t enough to completely revive his career. His absence from the limelight and ongoing legal troubles contributed to a significant decline in his popularity, showing how even top stars can falter when faced with personal and professional obstacles. ConclusionThe stories of Dammy Krane, Sean Tizzle, Tekno, Klever Jay, and Runtown serve as important reminders of the challenges that come with fame in the ever-evolving Nigerian music industry. While many of these artists once enjoyed massive success, they have faced personal and professional setbacks that led to their fall from grace. Whether it’s scandal, lack of consistency, legal battles, or simply the intense competition in the industry, these musicians’ experiences highlight the unpredictability of a music career. For aspiring musicians, the rise and fall of these stars also offer valuable lessons about maintaining relevance, staying grounded, and adapting to change in order to sustain long-term success.
