Eid-el-Fitr: Cleric Urge Muslims To Extend Generosity Beyond Ramadan—-A cleric, Rev. Samuel Gorro, has urged Muslims to extend kindness to people beyond the Holy month of Ramadan.

Gorro, also the Executive Director, Centre for Peace Advancement in Nigeria (CEPAN), described the gesture as necessary “because Nigeria is currently experiencing economic challenges, with indigents being most affected.”

He made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Tuesday to felicitate with Muslims as they complete the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.

He said kindness to the indigents could help in reducing their difficulties and in encouraging them not to despair because of the situation, especially the hike in prices of food items.

NAN reports that the National Bureau of Statistics, in its Selected Food Prices Watch report for February 2024, said prices of food items such as beef, rice, beans, onion, white garri, yam, and bread have increased.

The cleric added that “the love shown during Ramadan, the care, and the support for the poor should continue, but this time not only by Muslims but also by Christians alike.”

He urged government to be proactive in seeking economic relief for people, suggesting the formulation of more pro-poor policies to cushion the effect of the price hike.

“Let there be policies that will impact the lives of the poor. I want to beg government to do something that will reduce the suffering of the masses.

“As the Bible says, a good name is better than gold, let leaders write their names in gold in the heart of the masses by doing theneedful,” he said.

He prayed for an end to insecurity in the country, and urged government to take firm actions to address the situation.

The cleric congratulated Muslims for successfully completing the Holy month of Ramadan and prayed God to bless them for the donations they gave to the needy during the period.

Chelsea Explore Surprise Move for Brighton Veteran Danny Welbeck

Chelsea Explore Surprise Move for Brighton Veteran Danny Welbeck—-The Blues are considering a surprise move for Brighton & Hove Albion veteran Danny Welbeck, with Xabi Alonso keen to add leadership and Premier League experience to his youthful squad.

Chelsea are exploring a shock move for Brighton & Hove Albion striker Danny Welbeck as manager Xabi Alonso looks to add experience and leadership to his attacking options ahead of the new Premier League season. The interest is at an exploratory stage, with Chelsea assessing the conditions of a potential deal for the 35-year-old England international.

Welbeck has just one year remaining on his contract at Brighton after triggering a one-year extension earlier this year. The former Manchester United and Arsenal forward enjoyed one of the most productive campaigns of his career last season, scoring 13 Premier League goals and finishing among the highest-scoring English strikers in the division. His consistent performances reignited calls for an England recall and have now attracted interest from Stamford Bridge.

Despite Chelsea’s heavy investment in young attacking talent in recent transfer windows, Alonso is understood to believe the squad would benefit from the presence of an experienced forward capable of mentoring younger players while contributing on the pitch. The Spaniard reportedly views Welbeck’s professionalism, versatility and leadership as valuable qualities that could complement Chelsea’s youthful core.

Chelsea have already strengthened their squad significantly this summer but remain active in the market as they seek the right balance between youth and experience. Reports suggest the club could also sanction departures in attack before the transfer window closes, with Welbeck emerging as an unexpected but serious option to bolster the frontline.

Brighton are aware of Chelsea’s interest but have yet to receive a formal offer. The Seagulls value Welbeck highly for both his goals and influence in the dressing room, meaning any negotiations are expected to depend on Chelsea presenting an attractive proposal. With only 12 months left on his contract, however, Brighton could consider a sale if the right bid arrives.

While discussions remain in the early stages, Chelsea’s interest signals a possible shift in transfer strategy under Alonso, who appears determined to blend elite young talent with proven Premier League experience as the Blues aim to challenge for major honours in the 2026–27 campaign.
