Osimhen broke the deadlock in the 20th minute with a clinical finish, and eight minutes later, he doubled Galatasaray's lead with an exquisite strike.

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen scored his first goals for Galatasaray, netting a stunning first-half brace in their Turkish Super Lig clash against Kasimpasa on Saturday.

Osimhen broke the deadlock in the 20th minute with a clinical finish, and eight minutes later, he doubled Galatasaray’s lead with an exquisite strike.

Mauro Icardi joined the goal scoring fray, adding a third for the hosts in the 34th minute.

Though the visitors pulled one back afterwards, Galatasaray’s dominance remained evident.

Despite appearing injured, Osimhen persevered and finished the first half alongside his teammates, having initially signaled to the bench for substitution.


This impressive display marks Osimhen’s first goals for Galatasaray, building on his three assists since joining from Napoli.

Last season, the 25-year-old played 25 Serie A games for Napoli, scoring 15 goals and providing three assists.

Osimhen’s impressive résumé also includes a successful stint at Lille in France and Charleroi in Belgium where the Nigerian distinguished himself as lethal forward.

$164M gamble on African Netflix rival


MultiChoice has announced that, alongside Comcast, they've poured $164 million (R2.8 billion) into Showmax since April 2024. The partnership with NBCUniversal and Sky, which started in April 2023, aims to make Showmax the top video-on-demand platform in Africa.



NBCU now holds a 30% stake in Showmax and has loaded it with content from Peacock, Universal Pictures, and Sky. By March 2024, total investment had hit $284 million (R4.8 billion), with Showmax's revenue climbing 22% to R1 billion for the year.



Despite the revenue jump, Showmax still recorded losses of R2.6 billion. However, those losses were lower than expected due to delays in operational expenses. The platform also shut down its more expensive Showmax Pro service but saw a 16% boost in subscribers post-relaunch in February 2024.



Looking ahead, MultiChoice is optimistic, with 88% of migrated subscribers still actively paying. The company is aiming to hit $1 billion in revenue within five years and break even by 2027. Their ambitious target? Growing Showmax to 25 million subscribers by 2028, doubling its numbers every year.



While some experts are more cautious, predicting just 15.6 million streaming users across Africa by 2028, MultiChoice is confident the continent’s streaming market will boom, and Showmax will be at the forefront of that growth.

How To Start an Online Business in 5 Steps.


Online businesses are a byproduct of the digital era and have transformed nearly all industries for consumers and business owners alike. They have unique business models and structural elements that differ from in-person businesses. Starting an online business is an exciting and creative endeavor that requires thoughtful planning and preparation.
In this article, we share five helpful steps to help you successfully start an online business yourself.
What is an online business?
An online business, or "e-business" as it was coined in 1996, is any business whose primary activity occurs through the Internet. Like in-person businesses, online businesses can reflect a variety of business models that fall under the categories of buying and selling or providing a service. Sample online business services include information sharing, drop shipping, affiliate marketing or blogging. Understanding the unique benefits of an online business as well as the steps to effectively start one is an important part of the process.
Why are online businesses important?
Besides the entrepreneurial and creative benefits of running a traditional business, online businesses offer unique financial, personal and consumer benefits.
Financially, online businesses save money because they avoid the costs of operating a physical space, and you also do not have to stock a store with inventory that might not sell. Reliance on email and electronic marketing also saves the expense of traditional, paper-based communications.
Personally, business owners appreciate the flexibility of working from home or remote locations, often at more flexible hours. Customers will also appreciate the global, unlimited access to your business 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

How to start an online business
Regardless of your specific product type and business goals, these steps will help ensure you successfully start and maintain a thriving online business:
Establish a clear vision.
Conduct market research.
Solidify your business plan.
Create an effective website.
Take care of all legal requirements.
1. Establish a clear vision
Often seen as the most fun part of developing a successful online business, this step is critical and entails more than just creative brainstorming. Establishing a clear vision requires identifying the product or service you will offer and the preferred format for your business operations. For example, will you operate an information-sharing blog or a buying and selling business? Additional things to consider include:
What are your goals?
What is your mission statement?
What is the scope of your product offerings?
Who is your target market?
What unique considerations apply to the online aspect of this business?


2. Conduct market research
After solidifying your vision, you will need research to inform your planning process. Specifically, you will want to identify your target market, confirm that a need for your services exists and analyze consumer buying patterns to inform your business model. Essential questions to think about include:
Who are your intended customers?
What do they currently buy?
Why do they make these purchases?
What will motivate them to buy your product?
Market research is split into primary and secondary categories that reflect varying research methods. When planning your research, you will want to consider research costs, accessibility of information and intended outcomes.


3. Solidify your business plan
Establishing your vision and completing market research will serve as the introduction to your more detailed business plan, which is a critical component of ensuring a successful online business. Regardless of your business' format and product type, the following are critical components of an effective business plan:
Clearly defined goals and interim metrics
Timeline for review
Summary of staff qualifications and responsibilities
Financial summary outlining existing capital, monthly costs, projected revenue and accounting systems
Clear marketing strategy
Your business plan will help support your success to the degree that it balances structure and flexibility. Structure will help you stay organized and focused on your goals, and flexibility will allow for unforeseen circumstances and responsiveness to the online market. While it is critical to developing a thoughtful and comprehensive business plan, don't be afraid to change it as needed. As your business grows, so too will your marketing strategy, your finances and your goals.


4. Create an effective website
Creating a functional and enticing website is essential for starting an online business. Fortunately, there are simple and cost-effective options for setting this up. When you are developing a website, you want to plan for the structure and logistics of operating the site and the site's content.
Structurally, you will start by securing a domain name, which is the name and address of your website. To maximize traffic, you'll want to choose your exact business name or something similar. Then you have to confirm that the domain is not already in use, and if it is, you can substitute the .com ending for .org or .net.
After that, you'll choose a hosting platform, which stores your website and displays it to website visitors. There are several hosting platform providers to choose from, so it is a good idea to research all of your options and pick the one that best suits your needs.
Your website content represents the substance of your business, so you want it to be simple, easily accessible and straightforward. Easy accessibility requires mobile optimization, meaning that the content adjusts to accommodate digital devices of all sizes. Some hosting providers offer website builder services that help with mobile optimization and website layout overall. Whether you hire a company or a freelancer or choose to build the website yourself, you will want to include these components:
Homepage
Products or services
About us
Blog
Contact us
The final step is choosing the aesthetic details, like font color and size, quick navigation features, logo placement and supporting visuals.
5. Take care of all legal requirements
Similar to in-person businesses, starting an online business requires compliance with certain legal guidelines. These include registering your business name, obtaining an employer identification number, registering with state labor agencies and, depending on your state, getting a sales tax permit.
Online business owners can sometimes avoid a sales tax permit since the business does not have what is known as a "physical presence." However, you will want to verify this. Lastly, you'll want to confirm if a home occupation permit is required and research any digital privacy laws unique to online businesses.

Trump meets Zelensky and says it's time to end Russia's war


Donald Trump met Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky at his New York base in Trump Tower on Friday and said it was time Russia's war in Ukraine was settled.

The Republican presidential nominee has repeatedly criticised the Ukrainian leader on the US campaign trail, and a meeting between the pair had seemed unlikely until hours before.

As the two men stood side by side, Zelensky said he thought they had a "common view that the war has to be stopped and Putin can't win", adding that he would discuss with Trump details of his "victory plan".

Despite years of differences, Trump insisted he had a very good relationship with Zelensky.

"I also have a very good relationship as you know with President Putin and I think if we win [the election] we’re going to get it resolved very quickly," he said.

Afterwards, Trump and Zelensky spoke to Fox News and the former president said he “learned a lot” from the meeting.

“We both want to see this end, and we both want to see a fair deal made,” he said. “It should stop and the president (Zelensky) wants it to stop, and I’m sure President Putin wants it to stop and that’s a good combination.”

Zelensky said: “Putin killed so many people and of course we need to do everything to pressure him to stop this war. He’s on our territory.”

Zelensky invited Trump to visit Ukraine, and Trump replied: “I will”.

The Ukrainian president later posted on his Telegram channel that the pair had a “very meaningful meeting”.

“We have a common view that the war in Ukraine must be stopped. Putin cannot win. Ukrainians must win,” he wrote.

Trump, meanwhile, said on his Truth Social account that if he is not elected president, "that war will never end, and will phase into WORLD WAR III".

The pair have long had a tumultuous relationship. Trump was impeached in 2019 over accusations that he pressured Zelensky to dig up damaging information on the Biden family.

A rough transcript of the call revealed Trump had urged Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden, as well as Biden's son Hunter.

Standing beside Zelensky on Friday, he praised the Ukrainian leader's handling of the issue.

Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Trump has frequently repeated Moscow's talking points about the war. During September's presidential debate, he sidestepped a question on whether he wanted Ukraine to emerge victorious in the conflict.

Ahead of Friday's meeting, Trump repeated his long-standing claim that he would be able to "work out something" to settle the war if he won the presidential election, long before Joe Biden leaves office in January.

He has refused to elaborate when asked whether he believes Ukraine should cede territory to Russia as a means of ending the war.

Although Zelensky has been visiting the US since Sunday, their meeting was only confirmed on Thursday night, when Trump posted a screenshot of a text message from President Zelensky saying it was "important for us to have a personal contact and to understand each other 100%".

There have been tensions all week between Zelensky and the Republican party ahead of November's US presidential election.

Some Republicans were angered by Zelensky's visit to an arms factory in Biden's hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, with top Democrats, including state Governor Josh Shapiro, earlier this week.

Zelensky's trip to the key swing state was labelled by leading Republicans as a partisan campaign event. In a public letter, House Speaker Mike Johnson said the visit was "designed to help Democrats" and claimed it amounted to "election interference".

Trump has grown increasingly critical of continued US funding for Ukraine, and in recent days has sharpened his attacks against Zelensky, calling him the "greatest salesman on Earth" for continuing to obtain military aid.

In contrast, Zelensky recently told the New Yorker magazine that he believes Trump "doesn't really know how to stop the war" and called Trump's running mate JD Vance "too radical" and "dangerous" for suggesting that Ukraine should give up territory to end the war, saying it would spark conflict around the world.

When asked about Zelensky's comments on Thursday, Trump replied: "I do believe I disagree with him. He doesn't know me."


Harris at the White House to discuss his "victory plan", which he hopes will pressure Russia into agreeing a diplomatic end to the war.

Hours before, Biden had announced a further $7.9bn (£5.9bn) package of military assistance to Ukraine.

As Zelensky visited the US, drone attacks continued in Ukraine. On Thursday night, three people were killed and 14 others wounded in a Russian drone attack on Izmail, a port city on the River Danube.

Russia has targeted Izmail’s grain export facilities in the past. Prosecutors say two boys aged three and 13, and a girl aged 14, were among those wounded in the latest attack.

Romania’s defence ministry said it was possible that one of the Russian drones involved in the attack had crossed the border into Romania, a Nato member state, for a very short period.
