November 22, 2022 18-Year-Old Nigerian Basketball Star Dies Of Heart Attack

18-Year-Old Nigerian Basketball Star Dies Of Heart Attack

Seyi Awogbemi Sodiq, an 18-year-old Nigerian professional basketball player, died of a heart attack.

Sodiq, a member of the Alba Fehérvár men's basketball team, died in Abuja on November 19, 2022, a week before his 19th birthday.

The basketball player came in Hungary at the age of 13 and stood out from the local field with his exceptional results in the junior championships, according to the tribute on the club's website. He made his debut for the senior squad of the Székesfehérvár-based club at the age of 16.

According to Hungary Today, Sodiq was diagnosed with a dangerous disease last fall, and after considerable thought and on the advice of his parents, he opted not to have surgery in Hungary, instead returning to Abuja in February.

He had conventional treatment at home before returning to basketball a few months ago, practising with his previous club in Abuja and working on his recovery. His intention was to return to Hungary and play for Alba once again.

However, on Saturday, November 19, his heart stopped and he died.

Before Saturday night's league game, the young basketball player was memorialized with a minute of silence.

Cristiano Ronaldo Becomes The 1st To Gain 500 Million Instagram Followers

When a photo of him and his competitor, Messi, leaked on the internet, it provoked uproar on the internet.

Cristiano Ronaldo, of Manchester United and Portugal, has set another record by becoming the first person to surpass 500 million Instagram followers.

As a consequence, he is presently the social media person with the most followers. This is a direct result of the great football player's recent trend-following.

Ronaldo made headlines last week during an unexpected interview with Piers Morgan in which he insulted Manchester United's owners, manager Erik ten Hag, and club star Wayne Rooney.

Furthermore, he has lately been trending when a picture of him with his colleague Lionel Messi surfaced online. With over 36 million total likes, the image for a Louis Vuitton ad quickly became one of the most loved photographs on any social media network.

November 21, 2022 Djokovic Beats Ruud, Wins Sixth ATP Finals Title

Djokovic Beats Ruud, Wins Sixth ATP Finals Title

On Sunday, Novak Djokovic defeated Norway's Casper Ruud 7-5 6-3 to win his sixth ATP Finals championship.

As a consequence, Djokovic won the largest payment in tennis history – $4,740,300 — for going undefeated in the season-ending event.

In front of a raucous crowd, Djokovic secured victory with his ninth ace, claiming the trophy for the first time since 2015.

"You have to be concentrated the whole match, every single point, because momentum can shift to the opposite side pretty rapidly," the Serbian remarked after the game in a televised interview.

"The fact that I waited seven years makes this triumph much sweeter," he said as he equaled Roger Federer's season-ending collection of six trophies.

Ruud, 23, had the finest year of his career in 2022, going toe-to-toe with the 21-time major champion early on.

But he made two unforced mistakes at the conclusion of the opening set, handing Djokovic the break.

Djokovic accelerated from there, using his powerful forehand to break Ruud in the fourth game of the second set.

In a 36-shot last rally, the Norwegian hurled all he could at the veteran, but the Wimbledon winner was just too sharp.

He outlasted his opponent in the long exchange to win the championship with his arms outstretched.

The 35-year-old Djokovic is the event's oldest winner, and he acknowledged the competition did not leave him untouched following a difficult three-set thriller against Russian Daniil Medvedev in the semi-finals.

"It wasn't easy to recover and play well in the semi-finals in less than 24 hours after that match," he told reporters.

"It's an internal war because there's always one voice saying you 'you can't do it, you're too weary, this and that,' right?" The villain and the hero You're attempting to feed the good man."

After a year of ups and downs, Djokovic finishes the season on a high note.

He was unable to defend his Australian Open title in January because he was deported from the country for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

His attitude also banned him from participating in the United States this year, including at the season's last major, the U.S. Open.

"I'm looking forward to a couple of weeks off since I've been on pins and needles for the whole year, whether it was for competitions or waiting for permits to travel elsewhere."

"So, I'm extremely delighted I was able to conclude it on a good note," added Djokovic, who won his eighth Wimbledon crown in July.

Ruud's breakthrough year came to an end with a loss.

The Norwegian had previously reached the finals at Roland Garros and Flushing Meadows, but had finished second.

November 18, 2022 Man Utd Taking Appropriate Steps Over Ronaldo

Man Utd Taking Appropriate Steps Over Ronaldo

Manchester United say they are taking "appropriate steps" after Cristiano Ronaldo's interview in which he said he was "betrayed by the club".

The Portuguese forward said he had "no respect" for manager Erik ten Hag and is being forced out of Old Trafford.

The club will not comment further until "this process reaches its conclusion".

After a wide-ranging interview with Piers Morgan for Talk TV, the future of 37-year-old Ronaldo at Man Utd is in doubt.

Ronaldo will captain Portugal at the World Cup in Qatar, with their opening Group H game against Ghana on Thursday.

He has not played because of an unspecified illness since he captained United in their 3-1 defeat at Aston Villa on 6 November.

Ronaldo was dropped for the Premier League game at Chelsea last month by Ten Hag after refusing to come on as a substitute against Tottenham three days earlier.

The Red Devils, who beat Fulham 2-1 on Sunday, are fifth in the Premier League in Ten Hag's first season as manager.
