Nigeria’s women’s handball teams won their matches on Monday at the IHF Women’s Trophy Zonal Phase championship, ongoing in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, as the under-18 women’s team fought hard to earn a 36-33 victory over Burkina Faso.
The under-20 team brushed aside Togo with a dominant 52-8 victory.
Nigeria’s U-18 girls overturned a three-goal halftime deficit to edge Burkina Faso 36–33 in a thrilling encounter, which saw the Burkinabé side dominate proceedings with fast breaks and well-coordinated wing play as well as forcing Nigeria to commit so many turnovers as they headed into the break with a 20–17 advantage.
But the second half was different, as Coach John Uzor’s side started playing more like the team that defeated Togo the previous day, with vital goals to outscore Burkina Faso, and also defended like their lives depended on it.
With precise finishes from the wings and dominant transitional play, Nigeria outscored their opponents 19–13 in the second half, sealing a hard-fought 36–33 victory that showcased resilience and tactical maturity.
They will play Ghana in their last match of group A on Tuesday at 1 pm
Later in the day, Nigeria’s U-20 women, in a goal-fest, ran riot over Togo with a 52–8 demolition that left spectators in awe.
Coach Shittu Agboola’s tutored team imposed themselves from the blast of the whistle, executing fast breaks with precision and applying high-pressure defence that left Togo with little room to breathe.
The wings operated with ruthless efficiency, while the backcourt players dictated tempo and dished out assists with flair.
By halftime, Nigeria had already opened up a commanding 24-6 lead, and they didn’t take their foot off the gas in the second half as they swiftly defeated Togo 52-8.
Nigeria’s under-18 women’s team will play the Benin Republic on Tuesday at 5 pm.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Education Department will begin collection next month on student loans that are in default, including the garnishing of wages for potentially millions of borrowers, officials said Monday.
Currently, roughly 5.3 million borrowers are in default on their federal student loans.
The Trump administration ’s announcement marks an end to a period of leniency that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. No federal student loans have been referred for collection since March 2020, including those in default. Under President Joe Biden, the Education Department tried multiple times to give broad forgiveness of student loans, only to be stopped by courts.
“American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said.
Beginning May 5, the department will begin involuntary collection through the Treasury Department’s offset program, which withholds government payments — including tax refunds, federal salaries and other benefits — from people with past-due debts to the government. After a 30-day notice, the department also will begin garnishing wages for borrowers in default.
The decision to send debt to collections drew criticism from advocates, who said borrowers had experienced whiplash and confusion with the changing student loan policies between the Biden and Trump administrations.
“This is cruel, unnecessary and will further fan the flames of economic chaos for working families across this country,” said Mike Pierce, executive director of the Student Borrower Protection Center.
Already, many borrowers have been bracing for obligations coming due.
In 2020, President Donald Trump paused federal student loan payments and interest accrual as a temporary relief measure for student borrowers. The pause in payments was extended multiple times by the Biden administration through 2023, and a final grace period for loan repayments ended in October 2024. That meant tens of millions of Americans had to start making payments again.
Borrowers who don’t make payments for nine months go into default, which is reported on their credit scores and can go to collections.
Along with the borrowers already in default, around another 4 million are 91 to 180 days late on their loan payments. Less than 40% of all borrowers are current on their student loans, department officials said.
Layoffs at the Federal Student Aid office at the Education Department have made it harder for students to get their questions answered, even if they wanted to pay their loans, said Kristin McGuire, executive director for Young Invincibles, a group that focuses on economic security for younger adults. And questions are swirling about certain income-driven repayment programs after a February court ruling blocked some Biden-era payment plans, placing borrowers in the more lenient SAVE Plan in forbearance. The Education Department in February took down applications for income-driven repayment programs — which tie a monthly payment to a person’s income level — only to bring them back online a month later.
“Things are really difficult to understand right now. Things are changing every day,” McGuire said. “We can’t assume that people are in default because they don’t want to pay their loans. People are in default because they can’t pay their loans and because they don’t know how to pay their loans.”
For borrowers in default, one step to avoid wage garnishment is to get into loan rehabilitation, said Betsy Mayotte, president of The Institute for Student Loan Advisors.
Borrowers must ask their loan servicer to be placed into such a program. Typically, servicers ask for proof of income and expenses to calculate a payment amount. Once a borrower has paid on time for nine months in a row, they are taken out of default, Mayotte said. A loan rehabilitation can only be done once.
Biden oversaw the cancellation of student loans for more than 5 million borrowers. Despite the Supreme Court’s rejection of his signature proposal for broad relief, he waived more than $183.6 billion in student loans through expanded forgiveness programs.
In her statement Monday, McMahon said Biden had gone too far.
“Going forward, the Department of Education, in conjunction with the Department of Treasury, will shepherd the student loan program responsibly and according to the law, which means helping borrowers return to repayment — both for the sake of their own financial health and our nation’s economic outlook,” she said.

Reno Omokri has lashed out at clergyman, Pastor Tunde Bakare, who recently condemned President Tinubu’s style of leadership.
While speaking to his congregants on Sunday, April 20, Bakare lamblasted the President for the manner he has piloted the affairs of the country since assuming office in May 2023.
Bakare said President Tinubu practices ‘’motorpark brand of politics”. He further stated that the President has turned the National Assembly into an Assembly that does only his bidding. Read here.
Reacting to Bakare’s comment via his Instagram page this evening, Reno opined that the cleric spoke against the President because he is still bitter that he lost the APC Presidential ticket to Tinubu in 2022.
He wrote;
‘’Tunde Bakare wanted to be President. He contested against President Bola Tinubu for the APC primary on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, and was soundly defeated. Tunde Bakare scored ZERO votes at the primary. Please fact-check me. He is not speaking as a pastor or prophet. He is speaking as a defeated and bitter rival who is covetous of the President’s position.
You cannot expect a rival you defeated to be fair, just and balanced concerning you. It is not possible.
It is like expecting Kanye West to speak positively about Taylor Swift after losing the Grammy Award for Album of the Year to her.
This is a man who informed us that heaven has ordained him to be the sixteenth President of Nigeria after Buhari. Today, the reality is that the sixteenth President of Nigeria is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Do you then expect him to be happy with Bola Tinubu for occupying a position promised to him by heaven?
If Tunde Bakare can lie against heaven (not the first time. He also claimed in 2006 that the Holy Spirit told him Buhari was part of Nigeria’s decaying past, before running with the same Buhari in 2011), who are you that he cannot lie to?”

No fewer than six people were killed on Monday evening by a group of terrorists at Ilesha Baruba in the Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State.
SaharaReporters learnt the terrorists, heavily armed and dressed in military camouflage, launched the deadly attack after Isha’I prayer on Monday.
The assailants, according to eyewitnesses, stormed the town through the highway that links the town to the state capital on motorcycles with several sophisticated weapons.
They were clad in what appeared to be Nigerian Army uniforms, sparking fears of impersonation and raising critical questions about the source of their gear.
In a video obtained by SaharaReporters, the lifeless bodies of the victims were seen lying in pools of their blood, as wailing filled the background.
The gruesome footage captured the aftermath of what residents described as a “terror operation.”
One of the eyewitnesses, Umar Faruq, who narrowly escaped the attack, told SaharaReporters that the gunmen appeared organised and deliberate in their mission.

“They came in soldier uniforms. At first, we thought they were here for security patrol, but within minutes, they opened fire on innocent people. It was like a war scene. People were screaming, running for their lives,” he recounted.
The traditional titleholder of the area, Turaki of Ilesha Baruba, who also confirmed the incident, condemned the killings and described the attack as a direct assault on the peace and sovereignty of the community.
“This is not just an attack on individuals. It’s a message to us all that we are not safe. Our people are living in fear now. We call on the government to act fast,” he said.
This fresh bloodshed has further exposed the fragile state of security in Kwara North and revived calls for serious overhauls in intelligence gathering and community protection.
The use of military uniforms by the attackers has also raised suspicions of insider collusion or dangerous black-market access to security gear.
All efforts made to reach the Kwara State Police Command for comment at the time of filing the report did not succeed.

Not everyone needs Excel. Some people just want to track grocery costs. Others need a tool for work or business. Others may also need the excel tool itself. However, affording the premium version has become a limitation to what they actually need the tool for. Whatever your reason, there are free spreadsheet apps out there. Many of them are great and easy to use. Most of these alternative applications also offer certain important features that may not be available in Microsoft Excel for free.

Excel is still the top choice for many businesses. It works well with other Microsoft tools. It also has powerful features.

Think about what you need most:
All of these are free. Try a few and see which one feels right for you.

Manchester United are still reeling from back-to-back defeats in the Premier League that have raised further questions about the depth and focus of Ruben Amorim’s squad.
The 1-0 loss to Wolves at the weekend followed a European disappointment against Lyon, as United failed to show dominance in either box.
Ruben Amorim has maintained that the squad’s mentality remains intact, but player availability has become a recurring problem.
Noussair Mazraoui was a surprise absentee at half-time during the Lyon match and then returned for the Wolves game—though no official reason has been confirmed for his midweek exit.
And now, Manchester United’s defensive depth has taken another emotional hit following a distressing personal incident involving Victor Lindelof.
The Swedish international was named on the bench for United’s Europa League quarter-final against Lyon, but left Old Trafford at half-time due to what Amorim described as “personal reasons”.
It has now been revealed that Lindelof’s young son, Francis, suffered a serious head injury just before the game.

According to his wife, Maja, the child had an accident at home, falling into the family’s glass staircase while playing with his brother.
“He split his entire head open,” she said.
“His forehead was in two parts.
“He was rushed to hospital, underwent plastic surgery and was under anaesthetic.”
Thankfully, the operation was successful, and the child is recovering well.
Maja added, “The doctors say he will have a big scar on his forehead.
“But never mind – I’m just happy that it went so well.”
Despite the emotional strain, Lindelof returned to the matchday squad for the Wolves clash and is expected to be available for United’s upcoming trip to Bournemouth.
The Swedish defender wasn’t the only one to leave Old Trafford midway through the Lyon game.
Noussair Mazraoui also made an early exit for what Amorim again described as a personal matter.
Victor Lindelof looks set to leave the club at the end of the season and admitted that talks about his future are inevitable, and he plans to engage in discussions with those involved.
Manchester United will need all hands on deck for their crucial upcoming fixtures, with Bournemouth away this weekend and the Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao just days later.
With squad morale being tested off the pitch, Amorim will be hoping his players can find the focus and resilience needed to bounce back on it.
