As Seun Akanji begins a new chapter with Norwegian club Lillestrøm SK, his younger brother, Akanji Jibola, has declared that he is determined to carve out his own identity in football and follow his own path to success.

Sports247 reports that both brothers began their football journey at Femmco Football Club, where they developed their talents before Seun moved to Beyond Limits and later Sporting Lagos FC, earning a permanent transfer to Lillestrøm SK on a four-year contract after helping Sporting Lagos win the Nigeria National League (NNL) title and secure promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

Speaking exclusively to Sports247, Jibola acknowledged that although he and his elder brother operate on the same flank, he possesses a different style of play.

“We play on the same wing, but I am more different and superior,” Jibola said confidently.

The promising youngster expressed belief in his abilities, insisting that hard work and patience will eventually earn him his own breakthrough.

“I am confident and hardworking towards my future ambition. I believe in myself, and with time my moment of glory will come.”

Jibola also praised Seun’s influence on the younger players at Femmco Football Club, revealing that his brother’s progress to European football has become a source of inspiration within the team.

According to him, Seun’s movement and commitment have motivated the squad, a mentality that was evident during Femmco FC’s victory in the Adaamasunle U-15 Championship semi-final.

With Seun already making headlines in Europe, Jibola is determined to write his own success story. His confidence, ambition, and commitment to continuous improvement underline the growing reputation of Femmco Football Club as a breeding ground for young talents capable of competing at the highest level.

As another exciting prospect emerging from the club’s youth system, Akanji Jibola will be hoping to follow in his brother’s footsteps while creating a legacy that is uniquely his own.

OpenAI reportedly completed a $7 billion employee tender offer

OpenAI has bought back $7 billion worth of shares from employees at the privately held frontier AI lab as part of an effort to provide liquidity to its workforce.

The deal, reported by Bloomberg, valued OpenAI at $852 billion, the same as its most recent fundraising round in March, which added $122 billion to the company’s war chest.

The company also filed confidentially with the Securities and Exchange Commission in June to prepare for a potential IPO later this year. However, a tender offer suggests that an IPO may not be forthcoming soon. With many tech companies remaining private longer than previous generations of startups, private tenders have proven a useful way for firms to allow employees to realize the value of their stock compensation without the difficulties that come with a public offering.

OpenAI did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.

Last month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote that “we did not have our best 12 months ever, which is mostly my fault, but we are about to have our best 12 months to date.” Firms going public typically want to show strong financial results to bring investors on board, and the Wall Street Journal reported in April that the company missed internal financial goals.

While OpenAI’s incredible growth and products are likely to generate massive interest in public markets, the potential debut of rival Anthropic — which was reportedly profitable earlier this year — gives the company a reason to ensure it puts its best face forward. The tender could be another signal that the much-anticipated offering will wait for OpenAI’s new strategy of paring down its bets and focusing on its enterprise business to gain traction.
