“I believe all men cheat” — Actress and filmmaker Angela Eguavoen

Image
  Actress and filmmaker Angela Eguavoen has said she believes all men cheat, explaining that the belief serves as a form of emotional consolation in case she discovers that a partner has been unfaithful. Speaking in an interview with PUNCH, Eguavoen said she strongly believes all men cheat, despite the common response from men that not every man is unfaithful. “I strongly believe that all men cheat,” she said. “Whenever I say that, the men will say, ‘It is not all men.’”   The actress explained that she would rather hold on to that belief as a way of preparing herself emotionally for the possibility of discovering that a partner has cheated.   “I think it is a belief I use to console myself just in case I am in a relationship and suddenly find out that the person I am dating is cheating,” she said.   Eguavoen added that while she would not hurt a partner over infidelity, she believes a man who cheats should at least be discreet and respectful toward his partner. ...

Image
  Kelechi Iheanacho is one match away from setting a new Bursaspor scoring record after extending his impressive start to life in Turkey with another two goals. The Super Eagles striker scored twice as Bursaspor secured a 2-1 away victory over Batman Petrolspor on Saturday, September 19, helping his side move clear at the top of the Turkish second division. The brace took Iheanacho's tally to 11 goals and two assists in eight league appearances since joining the club, with the Nigerian scoring in every league match he has played so far. His latest goals also extended his scoring streak to eight consecutive league games, equalling the Bursaspor record previously set by Brazilian striker Fernandao during the 2014/15 Süper Lig season. Fernandao scored in eight successive league matches between rounds 12 and 19 of that campaign, beginning his run against Kasımpaşa in November 2014 and ending it against Gençlerbirliği in January 2015. The Brazilian had scored 13 goals in 18 league appea...

Trump pardons PGA golf caddy's drug conviction so he can play in British Open

Image
  US President Donald Trump has granted a full pardon to the Professional Golfers' Association Tour caddie, Eric Larson over a decades-old federal drug conviction that had prevented him from travelling to the United Kingdom for major golf tournaments.    Larson, who works as a caddie for American golfer Harris English, was pardoned on September 3 over his 1995 conviction for conspiracy to distribute cocaine. He was sentenced to 156 months in prison, five years of supervised release and a $25,000 fine. Larson ultimately served about 11 years behind bars. His criminal record later created difficulties travelling to the UK and prevented him from accompanying English at the 2025 British Open. English went on to finish second at the tournament, earning $1.8 million in prize money. With caddies commonly receiving a percentage of a golfer's winnings, Larson also missed out financially by being unable to work alongside English at the tournament. The presidential pardon could remo...
