JUST IN: Moon Sighted As Saudi Arabia Confirms Ramadan To Begin On March 1—-Saudi Arabia has officially declared that the holy month of Ramadan will commence on Saturday, March 1, following the sighting of the crescent moon.

This announcement signifies the start of a month-long period of fasting and spiritual devotion for over 1.8 billion Muslims across the globe.

Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, follows a cycle of 12 months in a year that lasts either 354 or 355 days.

Observing the fast from sunrise to sunset is a fundamental pillar of Islam, mandatory for all healthy adult Muslims.

However, exemptions apply to children, the elderly, the sick, travelers, and women who are pregnant, nursing, or menstruating.

For generations, the beginning of Ramadan, as well as the Islamic festivities of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, has been determined by the sighting of the moon.

In many countries, including Saudi Arabia, work and school schedules are often adjusted during Ramadan to accommodate fasting and religious observances.

Meanwhile, the Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has announced all schools in the state would be closed for Ramadan fast.

Thecloudngr reports that State’s Ministry of Education Information Officer, Jalaludeen Maina, confirmed the development on Friday.

Maina said the school closure was in line with the state’s approved school calendar for the 2024-2025 academic session in the state.

Maina disclosed that the closure would start from March 1 to April 5

The result sees the North London club reach the Champions League final for the first time in two decades, marking a significant milestone in their European journey.

BREAKING: From Words to Ring: Lizzy Anjorin Accepts Iyabo Ojo Boxing Challenge—–Nollywood stars Iyabo Ojo and Lizzy anjorin set for potential showdown as rivalry takes new turn

Actress Lizzy Anjorin has accepted the boxing ring challenge issued by her colleague Iyabo Ojo, adding a new turn to their long running public dispute.

The development began after Iyabo Ojo shared a video of herself training and challenged Lizzy Anjorin to a boxing match. She also called on businessman Emeka Okonkwo, known as E-Money and music executive Soso Soberekon to sponsor the proposed fight.

Lizzy Anjorin responded by accepting the challenge and criticised Iyabo Ojo in her post, questioning public support and describing her as a certified failed actress with zero achievements.

She also asked Iyabo to set a date for the fight and insisted she was ready.

“ABEG MK WE START BETTING NOW
TEAM LAWAL OR TEAM SISI MAMA ???

“PAULO SIS MAMA AMBASSADOR BABY OIL I CHALLENGE YOU AND IYABO OJO SEPETERI THE CERTIFIED FAILED ACTRESS WITH ZERO ACHIEVEMENTS TO PICK A DATE FOR THE FIGHT
NA THAT RING FIGHT FIT GIVE ME THE REAL JUSTICE WEY I DEY LOOK FOR
NA WHY I NO DRAG U GO COURT THAT TIME
BUT I’M READY ANYWAY NOW

In another post, Lizzy Anjorin also reacted to Iyabo Ojo’s partner Paulo Okoye, over his suggestion that their disagreement should be settled in a boxing ring. She challenged him to a 10 round fight with her husband before any match involving her and Iyabo Ojo.

The latest exchange adds to a long running dispute between both actresses, which has played out publicly on social media over the years, with repeated back and forth comments and accusations.

At different points in the conflict, Iyabo Ojo had shared a video mocking Lizzy Anjorin, which escalated tensions between both sides. Lizzy later made allegations against Iyabo, leading to further public exchanges and legal threats.

Iyabo Ojo had demanded a public apology and threatened legal action over alleged defamatory statements, including a compensation claim.

In 2024, a Lagos court dismissed a 1 billion naira defamation suit filed by Iyabo Ojo against Lizzy Anjorin, marking a legal setback in one of their cases. The public disagreement between both actresses has however continued to resurface through online exchanges.
