🚨EXCLUSIVE: A source close to Chelsea has revealed to me that Bruno Guimarães has re-emerged as a serious midfield option for the Blues this summer.
According to the source, Chelsea have not ruled out a move for the Newcastle midfielder. Despite spending £117m on Morgan Rogers, the club still has the financial capacity to make another marquee signing. If deals involving Alejandro Garnacho and Nicolas Jackson are completed, Chelsea are expected to push hard for Guimarães.
The source added that Xabi Alonso is a huge admirer of Guimarães' all-round qualities, believing the Brazilian has the leadership, creativity, defensive intensity and ball progression needed to thrive in his system.
Arsenal remain interested and have already made contact, but Chelsea are prepared to compete aggressively once again, just as they did in the race to sign Morgan Rogers.
If Chelsea complete deals involving both Garnacho and Nicolas Jackson with Aston Villa, then Bruno Guimarães is definitely one to watch in the coming weeks.

Some passengers sitting afar who did not know what truly transpired were shouting for Miss. Emmanson to switch offher phone. However, the passenger in seat 14A and I rose up stoutly and defended her and when they heard our explanations they all calmed down and the flight took off.
Airborne
Throughout the flight Miss. Emmason was upset and simmering. She kept on discussing the situation with the gentleman on her right till the plane landed. She was obviously quite annoyed. I also noticed that Hostess 2 kept peeping at our row throughout the flight. She stayed upfront in the plane most of the time if I recollect correctly.
Hostess 1 on the other hand was completely oblivious of the raging storm (at least I thought so) and was kind, polite and professional throughout. Hostess 1 gave extra water to Miss. Emmanson when she asked for it in-flight and also helped her with bringing out and returning her food tray when snacks were served and also as we were approaching landing. Hostess 1 also helped put away some of Miss. Emmansonthings in the cabin above before landing.
Disembarkation
Once the plane landed, the gentleman in seat 14A and I joked that we had better get out quickly before a war breaks out. We both expressed hope that nothing happened as we disembarked. Disembarkation was being done row by row and just before it got to our turn, Miss. Emmanson exited her seat to the back of the plane and I presumed she went to the toilet. We happily disembarked and I forgot all about the spat in the plane until I started seeing all the videos and statements flying unabatedly. I hope the other gentlemen who witnessed this unfortunate incident on row 14 along with me will speak up and corroborate all I have said, which is the truth. I am ready to stand by all I have said here and will be glad to stand as a witness if need be for Miss Emmanson.
Conclusion
1. Miss. Emmanson never at any time refused to switch off her phone for take-off.
2. Hostess 2 acted very poorly and inflamed a rather simple and small matter. And this is putting it mildly.
3. Hostess 1 was exceptional and if she were the one that handled the entire episode, this would not have happened.
4. Ibom Air needs to do better in training their staff to learn to be sensitive and empathetic where necessary.
5. Miss. Emmanson’s reactions, though founded on grave unwarranted humiliation and provocation, has no place in any sane society and should not be encouraged.
On July 22, 2025, the Nigerian Senate approved an additional $21 billion, €2.2 billion, ¥15 billion of external borrowing for the 2025–2026 fiscal cycle. It also approved a N750.98 billion domestic bond issuance and a €65 65million grant. With an already existing public debt of about N149.39 trillion as at the first quarter of 2025, adding the approved loans of about N37.2 trillion) brings our current total debt to about N187 trillion with concerns that our debt might likely be over N200 trillion by the end of 2025.
As our GDP before rebasing was about N269.2 trillion (about $180 billion), the government has borrowed the equivalent of nearly 70% of our previous GDP. Even after the rebasing, which pushed our GDP to about N372.8 trillion (about $243. 7billion), the government would have borrowed about 50.16 % of the new GDP (with the approved loans), the highest debt-to-GDP ratio in our history as a nation.
While the year-on-year increase is about N27.72 trillion and the quarter-on-quarter increase is about N4.72 trillion, we are accumulating very exponential levels of unsustainable debt with little or nothing to show for it in critical areas such as education, healthcare, electricity generation, security of lives and property, and pulling people out of poverty.
We still rank low in all major human development indicators. While education is underfunded and standard in continuous decline, healthcare remains inaccessible to millions of Nigerians particularly the poor. Security of lives and property has deteriorated with over 10,217 people killed and 672 villages sacked between May 29th 2023, and May 29th 2025, even when security spending has significantly increased from N2.98 trillion in 2023 to N4.91 trillion in 2025. Infrastructure decay persists across the country, with about 135,000km of our 195,000km of roads remaining unpaved, largely unmotorable, and unusable. It is the same depressing situation in almost all sectors of the economy, with the power sector an unquestionable example, with less than 5,000 MW supplied for over 200 million Nigerians.
Today, over two years after the present government took over and with all the humongous borrowing, we are still confronted with negative reports of worsening poverty with about 133 million (63%) Nigerians classified as multi-dimensionally poor, increasing unemployment and disheartening news like 652 children dead as the malnutrition crisis worsens in Northern Nigeria.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), also known as Doctors Without Borders, has just sounded the alarm over an escalating malnutrition crisis in Northern Nigeria, with Katsina State emerging as one of the worst-hit areas.
This is a country blessed with enormous resources, yet nobody should go to bed hungry. Still, a persistent deficiency in leadership has thrown the majority of our citizens into increasing multi-dimensional poverty.
Borrowing is not inherently bad if it is sustainable and tied to productive investments with measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, this current pattern of borrowing without accountability, without transparency, and without transformational impact is simply mortgaging the future of our children. The government should consider the inter-generational consequences of their unsustainable borrowings and show at least a minimum consideration and interest in future of young and unborn Nigerians.
We must return to a disciplined and prudent economic management culture, cutting the cost of governance, blocking leakages, investing in human capital, and building a productive economy. Nigeria cannot continue to borrow recklessly while poverty deepens and public trust erodes.
It is time to stop this fiscal indiscipline. We must build a New Nigeria, where leadership is responsible, development is people-centred, and every kobo borrowed or spent delivers a measurable impact to achieve sustainable and inclusive development and growth.
A new Nigeria is POssible.

Sometimes, you just shut down.
You’re not sad, you’re not angry, you’re not even sure what’s wrong. You’re just....somewhere else.
You zone out in the middle of a task, you stare at your screen, and nothing clicks.
People are talking, and you hear them, but you’re not really there.
It’s not laziness, it’s not moodiness, it’s not being antisocial.
It’s your mind trying to protect itself.
From the noise, from the pressure, from everything it hasn’t processed yet.
You don’t always need a reason, you don’t always need to explain it.
Sometimes, your body and brain are just tired of being on all the time.
Zoning out might just be your nervous system asking for a break the only way it knows how.
So be gentle with yourself.
You’re not broken, you’re just human, doing your best in a loud, exhausting world.

Not just the first to get it done, but the best to ever do it.
A big congratulations to our outstanding Super Falcons of Nigeria for becoming the African Women’s Football Champions and winning the 2025 WAFCON! 💚⚽️🇳🇬
I watched as our girls never gave up. Just as I said before the game, it was an exemplary display of the indomitable Naija spirit.
This is more than a win—you have shown true dominance in African football.
From every Nigerian heart across the world, we say thank you for making us proud.
Today, history bows to your greatness. Congratulations, Super Falcons. Mission X—done and dusted.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
