August 30, 2023 They Deserved It – Bobrisky Reacts To Arrest Of Gay Suspects In Delta

They Deserved It – Bobrisky Reacts To Arrest Of Gay Suspects In Delta

Controversial Nigerian transgender and socialite Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, has weighed in on the recent mass arrest of individuals suspected of being involved in a same-sex wedding ceremony in Delta State.

According to reports, the Delta State Police Command apprehended 67 suspects on Tuesday over allegations of conducting a same-sex wedding event. Responding to this incident, Bobrisky took to his Instagram page to address the matter as many followers sought his perspective.

In his statement, Bobrisky stressed that he believed the arrest was justified due to Nigeria's prevailing law prohibiting men from marrying each other. He highlighted the importance of understanding the legal framework and the social context before engaging in such actions.

In his own words, he expressed, "Hey guys, I want to address those individuals who were arrested in Delta quickly. This lifestyle isn't suitable for everyone, but I believe everyone can learn from these circumstances. Firstly, there's a law in place that prohibits same-sex marriages in this country. Why did you all gather to organise a wedding defying this law? The consequences you faced were in line with your actions."

Bobrisky offered a pragmatic suggestion, stating, "If you genuinely love your partner and want to be together, why not consider relocating to a place where you'll be accepted?"

As societal perspectives continue to evolve on these matters, Bobrisky's comments underline the situation's complexity and the importance of adhering to the existing legal framework while advocating for broader understanding and acceptance.

Brighton Sign Teenage Midfielder From Lille For 27m Euros (£23.2m)

Brighton have signed Cameroon-born midfielder Carlos Baleba on a five-year deal for 27m euros (£23.2m) from French side Lille.

The 19-year-old only made his Lille debut 12 months ago but has forged an impressive reputation.

Baleba will fill the hole left by Ecuador midfielder Moises Caicedo, who joined Chelsea from Brighton for a British record £115m.

Seagulls boss Roberto de Zerbi said: "He will be the club's future."

Baleba made 19 league appearances for Lille last season.

He played two games in this campaign before being left on the bench for Lille's 4-1 defeat by Lorient on Sunday.

De Zerbi added: "Carlos is a very good player. He's very young but a specific player for our style."

Baleba moved to Lille in January 2022 before making his first Ligue 1 start 12 months later.

He follows Bart Verbruggen, Joao Pedro, Mahmoud Dahoud, James Milner and Igor Julio in joining the Seagulls this summer.

Forward Pedro joined Brighton from Watford for just under £30m, goalkeeper Verbruggen signed from Anderlecht for £16.3m, and defender Igor moved from Fiorentina for £14.5m. Midfielders Milner and Dahoud were free transfers from Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.

August 30, 2023 USA Forward Rapinoe To Play Final Game Against South Africa On September 24

USA Forward Rapinoe To Play Final Game Against South Africa On September 24

Megan Rapinoe will play her final match for the United States in a friendly against South Africa on 24 September.

Rapinoe has played in four World Cups, winning the 2015 and 2019 editions.

Before the 2023 World Cup, she confirmed plans to retire when the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) season ends in November.

"When I think back on the past 30-plus years of playing this game, my overriding emotions are joy and gratitude," Rapinoe said.

"It's been an unbelievable ride. It will be special to have this one last opportunity to play for my country and get the chance to thank my teammates and everyone who has had an impact on me as a person and player over the years."

The 2019 Ballon d'Or winner has made 203 appearances for the USA, scoring 63 goals, and also helped her country win gold at the 2012 Olympics in London.

The 38-year-old was one of three American players to miss a penalty when they were knocked out of the 2023 World Cup by Sweden in the last 16, which was thought to have been her final international appearance.

But the USA will now play South Africa in two friendlies on 21 September and 24 September, the second of which will occur at Soldier Field in Chicago and is being billed as Rapinoe's "farewell game".

The forward is scheduled to sign off her professional career on 15 October when NWSL side OL Reign play their final game of the season at Chicago Red Stars.
