Mahama Defends Fugu Outfit Against Zambian Mockery

President John Dramani Mahama has reacted amidst mockery of his Fugu outfit by Zambians.

Upon his arrival in Lusaka with his wife, Her Excellency Lordina Mahama, most Zambians ignorantly mocked the elegant Fugu worn by him.

Fugu is a Ghanaian smock attributed distinctively to the people of Northern Ghana, which has even been adopted by other tribes in Ghana.

It portrays a lot of things in Ghanaian culture, including royalty and warrior spirit, because it was worn by warriors to war ages ago.

“Smock has become an integral part of our [Ghanaian] cultural identity,” said President Mahama, who gave his famous 2025 speech at the United Nations 80th General Assembly in fugu.

President Mahama was rather excited that the hot discussion on social media sparked by the Zambians because it has given designers and traders of the traditional attire free global advertisement.

Man Admits to Hacking Snapchat Account for Nudes

A 26-year-old man from Illinois has admitted to orchestrating a wide-ranging cybercrime scheme in which he tricked hundreds of women into surrendering access to their Snapchat accounts, enabling him to steal and trade intimate images online.

Kyle Svara pleaded guilty on Wednesday in a federal court in Boston to charges including computer fraud and aggravated identity theft.

Reuters reports that the case emerged from a broader investigation linked to a former Northeastern University athletics coach who paid Svara to illegally access the social media accounts of female athletes and other women.

Under a plea agreement with prosecutors, Svara is expected to receive a recommended sentence of three years in prison when he appears for sentencing on May 18.

“He has taken full responsibility for his actions to his family and close friends, and today’s plea was a significant relief as it allowed him to finally accept responsibility publicly,” his lawyer, Todd Pugh, said in a statement.

EFL Docks Leicester City 6 Points

Leicester City have been docked six points by the English Football League for breaching financial rules.

The deduction will be applied immediately meaning the Foxes fall from 17th to 20th in the Championship and are only outside the relegation zone on goal difference.

It comes after Leicester were charged by the Premier League in May for a profit and sustainability (PSR) breach in the three years up to 2023-24.

Leicester were relegated from the top flight last season and are currently without a permanent manager after Marti Cifuentes was sacked in January.

Araujo Credits God for Turn of Form

Ronald Araujo has had a difficult few months, in which he has questioned many things, but the support of his family and his unwavering faith in God have allowed him to recover.

The Uruguayan defender has moved forward and returned to Barcelona in top form after stopping for a few weeks due to mental health problems.

His celebration on Tuesday, after scoring against Albacete in the Copa del Rey, was one of gratitude and confirmation of his beliefs.

Araujo was one of the goalscorers on the Copa del Rey night at the Carlos Belmonte. He scored Barcelona’s second goal, heading home to make it 0-2 on the scoreboard.

His celebration has a Christian meaning: “The glory is not for me but for God.” With this action, Araujo shows his great faith, which he does not hesitate to share on social media with his family, and his gratitude to the Most High for having helped him overcome the difficult moments he has gone through in recent months.

Elon Musk Bites Back At Spain’s PM Over Social Media Regulations

Spain’s government is moving toward tighter regulation of social media platforms, safeguarding children from harmful content.

The initiative has sparked a dispute between Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and tech leader Elon Musk.

Spain’s proposal to curb social media use among teenagers emerged in the wake of broader European and global efforts to regulate digital platforms.

Driving these moves across Europe are concerns about child safety, disinformation, and harmful online content.

Several countries, including France, the United Kingdom, and Greece, are considering or implementing similar measures restricting minors’ access to social media.

Musk responded on his platform X shortly after the announcement, calling Sánchez “dirty.” He then bizarrely claimed the Spanish PM is a “tyrant and a traitor to the people of Spain.”

In a further signal of displeasure with the new regulations, Musk described Sanchez as “the true fascist totalitarian.”
