Man City’s Ortega Receives First Call-Up to Germany National Team

Manchester City goalkeeper Stefan Ortega has been included in Germany's squad for the first time, following coach Julian Nagelsmann's announcement of the Nations League roster on Thursday. Ortega, 32, will join Stuttgart’s Alexander Nuebel and Hoffenheim’s Oliver Baumann as goalkeepers in the 23-man squad.

Germany’s first-choice goalkeeper, Marc-André ter Stegen of Barcelona, remains sidelined due to a serious knee injury, which has opened the door for Ortega’s call-up.

Additionally, Borussia Dortmund midfielders Julian Brandt and Felix Nmecha have been recalled to the squad. Brandt has not featured for Germany since November 2023, while Nmecha earned his only cap under former coach Hansi Flick in March 2023.

Germany is set to face Bosnia and Herzegovina at home in Freiburg on November 16 before traveling to Budapest to take on Hungary three days later. The team has already secured qualification for the Nations League quarterfinals with three wins and a draw.

“We aim to top our group and secure a win in front of our fans in Freiburg,” Nagelsmann stated on Thursday.

Several players are missing from the squad due to injuries, including West Ham’s Niclas Fuellkrug, Stuttgart’s Jamie Leweling, Bayern Munich’s Aleksander Pavlovic, and winger Leroy Sane, among others. Nagelsmann acknowledged the challenges posed by these absences but remained confident in the strength of his squad.

Meanwhile, 18-year-old midfielder Paul Wanner, who is currently on loan at Heidenheim from Bayern Munich, declined the call-up to remain with Germany’s U-21 team. Wanner is still deciding whether to represent Austria or Germany at the senior level.

National Grid Suffers Second Collapse in Three Days

For the second time in three days, Nigeria’s national power grid has collapsed, plunging several regions into darkness. Data from the Nigerian System Operator’s portal (niggrid.org) confirmed a total drop in power generation to zero megawatts at approximately 11:30 a.m., disrupting electricity generation nationwide.

Electricity distribution companies took to social media to update their customers. Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company (IKEDC), which supplies parts of Lagos, shared on X: “Please be informed that we experienced a system outage today, 07 November 2024, at 11:29 hrs, affecting supply within our network. Restoration of supply is ongoing in collaboration with our critical stakeholders. Kindly bear with us.”

Similarly, Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDP) alerted its customers to a “potential system failure,” reporting, “At precisely 11:29 hours today, 7th November 2024, we experienced a simultaneous loss of supply across our network. We are currently working with our partners for a swift restoration.”

The Jos Electricity Distribution Company also issued a statement explaining that “the current outage within our franchise states is due to a power supply loss from the national grid.” They assured customers that they are awaiting grid restoration to resume normal operations.

The ongoing instability in the national grid continues to disrupt daily life and raise concerns about the reliability of Nigeria’s power infrastructure.

“Feminist Witches” Group Chat Trend On X Sparks Controversy

A new trend on X (formerly Twitter) has people buzzing about a group chat titled "Feminist Witches," created by a group of young women expressing frustration toward men. The group chat, reportedly started by friends, has caught the attention of social media users who are sharing screenshots, stories, and reactions to the chat's discussions.

While some of the group's comments are lighthearted and humor-driven, others delve into real frustrations many women feel toward gender dynamics and societal pressures. This trend has spurred mixed reactions on X: some users find the content relatable and empowering, celebrating it as a space for women to vent openly, while others view it as divisive.

This "Feminist Witches" trend reflects a larger conversation about the ways women use social media spaces to share experiences, creating both solidarity and controversy along the way.

1 Killed in Multi-Vehicle Crash on Kara Bridge Involving 4 Cars; FRSC Issues Warning to Drivers

A fatal accident involving multiple vehicles on the Kara Bridge section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has resulted in the loss of one life, according to the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Lagos Sector Command, led by Corps Commander Kehinde Hamzat.

Commander Hamzat confirmed that the collision involved a White Volvo Truck (Reg. No: FKJ 484 YA), a White Toyota Hummer Bus (Reg. No: BWR 372 XC), a Benz Bus (Reg. No: GNL 630 XC), and an unregistered Black Boxer Motorcycle. The FRSC, which received the report at 3:33 a.m. and arrived on-site five minutes later, stated that reckless driving, speeding, and improper overtaking were the primary causes of the accident.

FRSC personnel, along with the police and Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), promptly secured the scene and managed traffic flow. A bystander assisted in transporting an injured victim to the hospital, while authorities handled the deceased respectfully.

Commander Hamzat expressed condolences and reminded road users of their shared responsibility to maintain safe driving practices, including observing speed limits and avoiding risky overtaking. "This tragic incident highlights the importance of road safety awareness. We urge all road users to work with us to prevent such avoidable losses," he said.
