Suarez: I’d love to have Messi’s left foot and Neymar’s pace

The Barcelona striker, who has been in scintillating form alongside his fellow South Americans this season, has revealed the traits he most admires in his attacking team-mates

Luis Suarez has revealed the traits he would take from his fellow South American forwards at Barcelona – Lionel Messi’s left foot and Neymar’s pace.

The Catalans’ front three have produced some sublime football this season, scoring 59 Liga goals between them as Barca target success in the Spanish top-flight, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey.

And Suarez admits he would relish being as strong on his left side as Messi and as quick across the ground as Neymar.

“I’d love to have Messi’s left foot, which is one-of-a-kind in the world, remarkable” he was quoted as saying by Marca, before going on to praise Neymar’s speed and ‘joie de vivre’.
“All of the players have a great relationship and it shows, we’re always laughing amongst ourselves and hugging – it’s not just us three. It’s not about affection, it’s about support.

“We don’t plan anything; it all just comes naturally. We just enjoy ourselves and if we’re happy, we’re able to do that.”

Barcelona, who are eight points clear of second-placed Atletico Madrid at the top of the La Liga table, take on Rayo Vallecano on Thursday.

Oliseh: I’ll expose NFF

Former  Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, is prepared to meet the Nigeria Football Federation in court over what they termed breach of contract, The Football house is reportedly threatening to sue Oliseh for quitting his post as coach without prior notice, but the 42 year old gaffer is optimistic the court will vindicate him on the false allegations levelled against him.

They said I was paid for three months (December 2015, January 2016 and February 2016) and half-year rent for July-December 2015. But we will see who is telling lies,” Oliseh said.

“Since they are prepared to expose themselves, I will help them further. My lawyers are studying the reports, and when we meet, we shall know who breached our contractual agreements.” Oliseh further claims his eight months on the job was a lesson for him, that only a wholistic change is needed in Nigerian football void of favouritism and nepotism. “My time there was a big lesson and unless a wholistic change is made in the administrative level, it will be difficult.”

Nollywood Actor, Joseph Babatunde-‘Jab Adu’, Is Dead

Nigerian veteran actor and dramatist, Joseph Abiodun Babatunde Adu, popularly known as JAB Adu, is dead. A source close to the foremost thespian said he passed on in his Abeokuta, Ogun State home early Sunday morning. He was aged 83.

While the detail of his demise still remains sketchy, the source said the man renowned for his role as ‘Bassey Okon’ in the popular Nigerian Television Authority, NTA Drama series, ‘The Village Headmaster’, has been contending with illness associated with old age. Trained as a professional banker before settling as an actor, late Jab Adu had an illustrious career on stage, television and film.

An abridged version of his biography written by Adegboyega Arulogun stated that Jab Adu started his adult life as a banker with the Central Bank of Nigeria. While with the apex bank, he squeezed out time to participate as an actor and writer in the popular Village Headmaster, in which he played the role of Bassey Okon, the doctor, dispenser and pharmacist of Oja village.

The deceased was born in Calabar, Cross River State. Thus, it was easy for him to play the role of an Efik in the junction town of Oja. He left banking in 1970 and went into full acting, writing and production. He was more renowned in acting but his creative pedigree transcends not just acting that he was very well known for on the screen. He was a film producer whose production credits include “Bisi, Daughter of the River” and “Adio’s Family”, a series he co-produced with NTA.

The film was one of the pioneering efforts that followed “Kongi’s Harvest” and “Things Fall Apart.” Based upon the Yoruba legend of Olurombi and shot on 35mm on celluloid on location both in Lagos and Badagry, the film threw a challenge to the American and Indian films in the Nigerian cinema circuit because of its production quality and Nigerians’ thirst to see their own people on the cinema screens in the theatres.

Candidates gear up for Super Tuesday

Super Tuesday is likely to live up to its billing for Donald Trump.

The first day of multiple-state voting looms large in a wild presidential race after early states trimmed the field and the brash billionaire and his army of outsider voters are positioned to send panic through the Republican establishment by tightening his grip on the party’s nomination.

Hillary Clinton — boosted by her huge win in South Carolina on Saturday — is meanwhile hoping to start locking out her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders, who is giving her a tougher-than-expected challenge, by showing the strength of the Southern foundation of minority voters on which her campaign is built.

A CNN/ORC national poll out Monday shows Donald Trump in a dominant lead, getting 49% of the Republican primary vote — 30 percentage points ahead of Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. On the Democratic side, Clinton tops Sanders 55% to 38%.

The contests, across 12 states, herald several weeks of nationwide skirmishes that will be decisive in determining who gets to face off for the White House in the fall.

The sheer scale of the battlefield favors Trump, whose ubiquitous media profile means he is known everywhere, and Clinton, whose decades in public life give her an advantage over the lesser-known Sanders.

It’s Trump who may stand tallest on Tuesday night.

“On Tuesday, you have a big day,” Trump told supporters at a big rally in Tennessee on Saturday, saying he didn’t care if someone was at death’s door or if their wife was leaving them — they had to vote.

“You get up, you go to the polls, and you vote!” he said. “I promise you, that you are going to look back on this night and you are going to say this was a very important night … a very important evening in your life.”

While Trump expects to savor a night of triumph, his top rivals, Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, have lesser expectations. Rubio is desperate to at last secure an elusive win, somewhere, anywhere. And Cruz faces a make-or-break moment in his home state of Texas.

A total of 595 Republican delegates are up for grabs of the 1,237 needed to clinch the GOP nomination. Sanders and Clinton are facing off for 865 of the 2,383 delegates needed to win the Democratic race.

Republicans are competing for delegates to be awarded Tuesday in Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia.

Democrats will award delegates in the same states as Republicans, apart from Alaska, and they are also competing in Colorado and in American Samoa.

Ooni Wants Tourists to Tap Potentials in Ile-Ife

The Ooni of Ile-Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja ll) has urged tourists all over the globe to tap the tourism potential in Ile-Ife, saying that there is the need to be better educated about the creation of earth.

Speaking at the official declaration of Ile- Ife as a tourism zone for the entire world at the weekend in Ile-Ife, the Ooniclaimed that the biblical Ark of Noah and the Tower of Babel are in the ancient town.

Besides, the royal father said many mystical signs, primeval artefacts and ancient relics abound in the town, saying that everything started in Africa as established by research, historians and archeologists.

He added that the historical assets in Ile-Ife was enough to empower Nigeria and Africa at large but lamented the neglect of cultural endowments in Africa and Nigeria in particular.

The Ooni said both anthropology and archaeological findings attest to the origin of mankind from Africa, saying there are more than enough evidence to show that the actual origin of creation is Ile Ife.

The reverred royal father noted that African endowments and culture are gradually being threatened with extinction and called on Africans to come together to salvage their heritage.

He said, “The world is gravitating towards the African culture but we (Africans), the custodian of culture do not value it,

“The bottom line is that everything started in Africa and it has been established by researches and historians. Wherever in Africa the origin of man started, it’s our general asset. We have to take the continent out of the poverty that we are.

“The positive spirit of the creation is behind the successes of sons and daughters of Yoruba across the globe. Yoruba settlements are found in all the regions of Africa, North and South America, Europe and United States of America, Australia and many other parts of the world”.

10 Reasons Why WWE Fastlane 2016 Truly, Utterly Sucked

This isn’t the first time you will witness a WWE event being trashed and it sure as hell won’t be the last, but it’s safe to say that WWE Fastlane truly, utterly sucked.

There’s little chance of WWE ever making all of its fans happy, especially the critical ones who build themselves up with internet hype and complain when a show fails to deliver, but the world’s largest professional wrestling company completely dropped the ball on this occasion. Fans can be forgiven for being upset when their expectations for the ‘last stop before WrestleMania’ were not even close to being met.

In fact, looking for positives to take out of the show is harder than getting Roman Reigns over as a baby face; it should come as no surprise that Reigns’ victory over Brock Lesnar and Dean Ambrose will be mentioned.

Main event aside, almost all of Fastlane was a total misfire. While the matches themselves were quite entertaining for the most part, the show was so ridiculously predictable that you could have read an online dirt sheet beforehand and known all the results.

There are a few positives that should be mentioned: Kevin Owens is the best heel professional wrestling has seen in a long time, Kalisto confirmed he deserves a championship around his waist and Naomi, Tamina, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks are all wonderful performers that deserve credit for putting on a quality tag match which featured many elements seasoned tag teams disregard.

Sadly, the negatives heavily outweigh the positives, and WWE providing a stinker of a pay-per-view just 42 days before WrestleMania 32 in Dallas can’t be brushed under the rug.

These are 10 reasons why Fastlane was beyond terrible.

Paul Merson: Arsenal must axe Arsene Wenger if Leicester or Tottenham win title

 

Paul Merson says Arsenal must part company with Arsene Wenger if Leicester or Tottenham win the Premier League this season.

Arsenal are five points behind leaders Leicester and three points behind Spurs with 11 games to play, following Sunday’s 3-2 defeat at Manchester United.

Arsenal boss Wenger signed no senior outfield players last summer and former player Merson says he must pay for that decision with his job if they lose out in the title race to a team with less financial muscle.

“If Man City don’t win the league and Tottenham or Leicester do then Arsene Wenger has to go.

“If you’re sitting there telling those fans – loyal Arsenal fans – that they don’t need any new players at the start of the season and then you don’t win the league in front of Leicester or Tottenham then I don’t see how you can justify it.

“If Man City win the league he can turn around and say ‘they’ve got all the money in the world and can go and buy whoever they want, so would whoever I bought have made much difference?’

“But if Leicester or Tottenham win the league after he said they didn’t need any players then I don’t see how he can keep his job.”

Graeme Souness described Arsenal’s performance against an injury-hit United side as a “bordering on a joke” on Super Sunday and Merson agreed with that assessment.

And he said Wenger must take responsibility for failing to motivate his players as they enter the final weeks of the season.

“Arsenal had 12 cup finals to play,” Merson added.

“But they went out on Sunday with an attitude of ‘it’s only Man United and they’ve got loads of injuries and kids playing, so we’ll breeze through this game

“It just frustrates me and it absolutely does my head in.

“People point to the players, but the manager has to get the players up for these games. Man United might be fifth and not having a good season, but it’s still Man United in front of 75,000 people.”

Wenger has guided Arsenal to a top-four finish in each of his 19 seasons in charge – and they remain seven points clear above Manchester United in fifth.

But Merson says there are plenty of other managers who could achieve Champions League football with Arsenal.

He said: “People may say there’s nobody better than him, but there’s a thousand managers who could come in and get Arsenal in the top four

“A thousand managers would come to Arsenal and say ‘don’t give me a penny, but if I get Arsenal in the top four then pay me 10 million quid’.

“Every football manager in the world would take that deal. Arsenal are always going to get in the top four.

“If Leicester or Tottenham win the title then I just don’t see how he can keep his job.”

My relationship with friends, classmates remains the same – 17-year-old Delta King

Chukwuka Noah, the 17-year-old newly crowned king of Ubulu-Uku Kingdom, in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State, says his relationship with friends and schoolmates remains the same, despite his new status.

It would be recalled that his installation, being the heir to the throne, followed the murder of his father, HRM Edward Ofulue III, by suspected Fulani herdsmen.

In an interview with The Punch, the teenage king speaking on his fears of suffering a similar fate as his father said he will continue to seek protection from the Almighty God and is sure that God will protect him.

He said, “My father’s death was shocking and I pray such will not come my way. The Almighty God will protect me and the people of Ubulu-Uku Kingdom. My father’s killing was shocking and I still ask why his killers were so heartless to him. I seek protection from God Almighty and my security is guaranteed under Him.”

Speaking further, Noah said, “My relationship with my friends and schoolmates still remains the same.

“They are still my friends and schoolmates. The only difference now is that I am a king by the divine grace of God. They are aware of the present position of things and also know the honour a king deserves.”

On what he would miss most about his life now that he is a king, he said “I will miss relating with my peer group in the open as I used to do in the United Kingdom. I used to visit my friends at will. I will also miss that.”

Speaking on his decision to get married, Noah said things will come one at a time.

“For now, my focus is on my studies in the United Kingdom. I am going to ask God to lead me when I want to do that,” he stated.

The teenage king however, confirmed his real age to be 17.

Recall that news had earlier claimed that the newly installed king was 15 years old.

He further disclosed that his intention to become a medical doctor changed after the unfortunate incident that led to the death of his father.

He said, “When it was announced that my father had been killed, I had no choice than to heed the call to succeed him. It is painful that my father passed on in an inexplicable circumstance.

“I am going back to the UK to continue my studies. My uncle has been appointed to stand in for me as the regent till I return. It is really historic for the people of Ubulu-Uku who I hold in trust as my people and I ask the Almighty God to see me through the period of my studies,” the teenage king noted.

Pique rules out Man City move

The Barcelona centre-back admits his time at Manchester United means he would not be able to bring himself to join the Red Devils’ arch-rivals

Gerard Pique says his love for Manchester United makes a reunion with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City impossible.

Barca academy product Pique spent four years at Old Trafford before returning to Camp Nou in 2008, where he has enjoyed a trophy-laden eight years – including three La Liga titles, two Copa del Reys and two Champions League medals won under the stewardship of Guardiola.

The former midfielder has since gone on to enjoy further success in charge of Bayern Munich and will take on a fresh challenge at the Etihad Stadium next season.

However, Pique insists that a return to the Premier League with City is something he could never contemplate despite the respect he has for Guardiola.

 “My love for [Manchester] United is too strong to go to City,” he said on Periscope. “I don’t see myself in their shirt even though Pep is a great coach.”

Knife attacker injures 10 children at Chinese school

A knife-wielding assailant hacked at children in a Chinese schoolyard on Monday, wounding 10 before killing himself, police and reports said, the latest such attack in the country. Pupils were lining up to go home at the end of the morning session when the man struck, slashing at several children before fleeing, the state-run China News Service cited a witness as saying.

A woman passerby saw several students with their faces covered in blood, apparently from head injuries, being bandaged up, it added. The victims in Haikou, in the southern island province of Hainan, were six boys and four girls, the report said, two of them severely wounded but neither in life-threatening condition.

I thought my child would be safe at school; I didn’t think something like this would happen,” the mother of Liu Qiang, seven, told the Nanhai Online news portal at the hospital where her son was being treated. The assailant was identified as 45-year-old Li Sijun, who later committed suicide, reports said, adding no motive had been determined.

Local police in Haikou confirmed the incident to AFP and said that no children had died. Violent crime has been on the rise in China in recent decades as the nation’s economy has boomed and the gap between rich and poor has expanded rapidly. Studies have also described a rise in the prevalence of mental disorders, some of them linked to stress as the pace of life becomes faster and support systems wither.

In 2014, state media reported that a man stabbed three children and a teacher to death and wounded several others in a rampage at a primary school that refused to enrol his daughter. That followed a March 2013 incident in which a man killed two relatives and then slashed 11 people, including six children, outside a school in China’s commercial hub Shanghai. The incidents have forced authorities to increase security around schools and led to calls for more research into the root causes of such acts.

Carragher hits out at Liverpool squad

Jamie Carragher has labelled Liverpool’s squad as “not good enough” after falling short to Manchester City in the Capital One Cup final on Sunday.

The Reds were second best to the Citizens for large spells, riding their luck before scoring a late goal through Philippe Coutinho to force the match into extra time.

Jurgen Klopp‘s charges had their moments to win their first trophy since 2012 in extra time, but eventually lost out on penalties as Willy Caballero saved three spot-kicks for City.

And afterwards Carragher stated that he believes Klopp has a lack of quality at his disposal which will also make it difficult for Liverpool to win the Europa League this season, with his former club set to face rivals Manchester United in the last 16.

“A lot was riding on today [Sunday] as it’s been a poor season.

“Not just for the club, but for the manager, if he’s to be successful then they’ve got to win trophies and this was his first shot at it.

“However, he’s aware there’s problems in this squad. There’s not enough quality, they’re not good enough.

“Where they are in terms of the other teams and what they can win in terms of trophies, this is it. They’re not good enough to win the Premier League or the Europa League. They have Manchester United next in that tournament so it will be like a Cup final.”

Coutinho’s strike in the 80th minute at the national stadium was Liverpool’s first shot on target in the whole match against City, as the Merseysiders found it difficult to create chances on the day.

One player who struggled to perform was Daniel Sturridge but while Carragher agrees the marksman found it difficult to shine, he believes Liverpool cannot afford to sell him as there are few viable alternatives available.

“Sturridge didn’t perform well. Liverpool need to keep him though as there are very few quality strikers out there,” he added.

“He is one of Liverpool’s few real technical players.

BREAKING: Dickson’s abducted sister regains freedom

The younger sister of Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State, has been rescued after spending over two months in the hands of kidnappers.

A statement issued on Monday by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, said 26-year-old Nancy Dickson, was rescued on Sunday evening from her abductors without any payment of ransom.

According to him, “some of the kidnappers took to their heels while others were apprehended following a tip off on their hideout.” While calling on the people of the state not to succumb to the demands of ransom made by kidnappers, Governor Dickson assured that plans were underway to amend the Bayelsa State Secret Cult, Kidnapping and other Related Offences Prohibition Bill 2012 to proscribe payment of ransom in the state.

He stressed that the Bill when passed into law, would go a long way in putting a stop to kidnapping in the state. Dickson urged Bayelsans to take a cue from his personal experience with kidnappers when his aged mother was abducted in 2009 and efforts were made to secure her release without payment of ransom.

As part of efforts to stem criminal activities in the state, Governor Dickson said “a comprehensive security strategy would be launched soon to boost government’s policy of zero tolerance for crime and criminality.” He therefore advised anyone or group of persons who indulge in the unwholesome practice to turn a new leaf as the full weight of the law would be brought to bear on any culprit.

Ted Cruz: Trump can’t beat Hillary Clinton

Ted Cruz said Sunday that he’s prepared to support any Republican in this year’s presidential election — even if the party nominates a candidate he believes would lose to Hillary Clinton..

Appearing on “State of the Union with Jake Tapper,” the Texas senator once again insisted that he is the best alternative to Donald Trump, saying that 65% of GOP primary voters agree that the real estate mogul is not the best candidate to face Clinton.

“You know, we’ve seen now that there’s only one candidate that has beaten Donald Trump and that can beat Donald Trump,” said Cruz, who gave Trump his only loss of the season thus far in the Iowa caucuses.

Cruz is the favorite to win the Texas primary, one of several states voting this week on “Super Tuesday.” Polls show that Trump is leading in most of the other states voting that day.

Cruz told Tapper he hopes “those 65% of Republicans that don’t think Donald can beat Hillary will continue to unite behind our campaign.”

If Trump were to clinch the nomination, Cruz believes the billionaire would “probably” lose to Clinton. Cruz said that Trump’s past praise of Clinton, as well as his donation to the Clinton Foundation, would neutralize any GOP attacks against the former secretary of state.

Cruz and Marco Rubio have ratcheted up their attacks on the Republican frontrunner in recent weeks, as the prospect of Trump winning the nomination grows ever more likely. The two senators took turns ripping Trump at last week’s debate.

On Sunday, Cruz suggested that a Trump presidency would be chaotic.

“Listen, if Donald becomes president, who the heck knows what he would do? Even Donald doesn’t know what he would do,” Cruz said. “And I think the challenges facing this country are too grave to roll the dice and risk losing the Supreme Court for a generation, risk yet more economic stagnation and risk on foreign policy allowing radical Islamic terrorism to continue to rise and threaten America.”

Despite that concern, Cruz didn’t balk when asked if he’d support Trump in a general election.

“I will support the Republican nominee,” Cruz said. “Period. The end.”

But as he hit the Sunday shows, Cruz unloaded on Trump, hammering him for refusing to release his tax returns.

Cruz became the first Trump opponent to invoke his history of dealings with mafia families on construction deals in an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” as he questioned why the real estate mogul won’t release those returns.

“There have been multiple media reports about Donald’s business dealings with the mob, with the mafia. Now maybe his tax returns show that those business dealings are a lot more extensive than has been reported,” Cruz said.

He pointed to Trump’s dealings with the mob-controlled S&A Concrete to build his Trump Plaza condos. Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno, head of the Genovese crime family, and Paul Castellano, the don of New York’s Gambino family, controlled S&A.

He also built Trump Tower out of concrete, instead of steel, at a time when the mafia controlled much of the concrete industry.

“Maybe that’s what his tax returns show,” Cruz said.

Oscars 2016: Lady Gaga brings Oscars audience to tears with empowerment anthem

 

It may have been the most emotional moment of the Oscars.

Toward the end of Lady Gaga’s impassioned performance of “Til It Happens to You,” her Oscar-nominated song about sexual assault, a curtain parted onstage, and dozens of grim-faced young men and women stepped forward. The group, all of them survivors of sexual assault, exposed their forearms to reveal such words and phrases as “Survivor,” “You Are Love,” “Unbreakable” and “Not Your Fault.”

When Gaga wrapped the song, the men and women joined hands and raised them in solidarity. The Dolby Theatre audience rose for a standing ovation. Several stars, including Rachel McAdams and Kate Winslet, had tears in their eyes.

The song, co-written by Gaga and Diane Warren, is from The Hunting Ground, a CNN Films documentary about the recent wave of sexual assaults on American college and university campuses.

Gaga’s performance was introduced by Vice President Joe Biden, who encouraged Americans to take action against campus sexual assault and directed viewers to a website, It’sOnUs.org, which promptly crashed under the weight of sudden traffic.

“Let’s change the culture,” Biden said. “We must, and we can.”

Wearing a white pantsuit and sitting at a white grand piano, Gaga poured herself into the song. The pop singer has said she herself was raped when she was 19.

“Til It Happens to You” didn’t win the Oscar, though. That went to “Writing’s on the Wall,” the theme song from the James Bond movie Spectre, co-written and sung by Sam Smith.

Wenger: Intelligent Rashford surprised me

The 18-year-old scored his third and fourth Manchester United goals in just his second game in a fine victory, leaving the Gunners boss suitably impressed

Arsene Wenger was surprised and impressed by Manchester United youngster Marcus Rashford in Arsenal’s 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford.

Rashford scored twice inside five minutes in the first half on Sunday – just three days after opening his United account with a double on his debut in the Europa League against FC Midtjylland.

And despite all the expensive signings on display, it was the 18-year-old who caught Wenger’s eye in a damaging defeat for the Gunners.

“They had still a few millions on the pitch today, from [David] De Gea, to the midfield and even [Memphis] Depay,” he told reporters.

“The player who was suprising for me was Rashford. The timing of his movement, [and] the intelligence of his movement was excellent.”

Arsenal responded to Rashford’s double through a Danny Welbeck header, but fell further behind in the second half after Ander Herrera’s shot deflected off Laurent Koscielny and beyond Petr Cech.

Mesut Ozil closed the gap but the Gunners could not find an equaliser and finish the weekend five points behind Premier League leaders Leicester City and three adrift of rivals Tottenham.

Asked what impact the defeat would have on the title race, Wenger responded: “Nobody knows. We dropped three important points.

“We cannot feel sorry for ourselves. Mathematically what it means, we will know at the end of the season.”

Pellegrini defends Raheem after cup victory

The Chilean has offered his support for the former Liverpool winger, who endured a difficult day against his former paymasters at Wembley by spurning several chances

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has defended Raheem Sterling after the attacker’s below-par showing in his side’s League Cup final win over Liverpool.

Sterling struggled to make an impact against his former paymasters at Wembley on Sunday, missing an excellent chance on the hour-mark.

But the 21-year-old still finished a winner as City claimed a 3-1 penalty shootout victory after the 1-1 draw through 120 minutes.

Pellegrini said it was difficult for Sterling to deal with facing the club he left in the off-season, but was delighted he had silverware to collect.

“I don’t want to analyse individual performances but I understand how Raheem felt,” he said.

“It’s not easy just for Raheem as a very young player, it’s not easy for every player with more experience to play against your former team and he has a lot of friends.

“But Raheem took a very important decision at the beginning of the season. He wanted to come here to win titles and I’m very happy for him that he won already.

“I think he will be a very important player for a lot of years, so he will continue winning a lot of titles also.”

Another player Pellegrini was thrilled for was Joe Hart, who watched from the bench as goalkeeper Willy Caballero was the hero with three penalty saves.

The Chilean said the England international had shown his leadership qualities with his response to missing out on starting.

“I’m very happy also for Joe Hart because he demonstrated tonight that he’s not only a very good player, a very good goalkeeper, he’s also a very good person,” Pellegrini said.

Barcelona vice-president slams Ronaldo comments

 

Jordi Mestre insists none of the Catalans’ players would blame defeat on their team-mates as the Real Madrid star appeared to do on Saturday.

Barcelona vice-president Jordi Mestre has criticised Cristiano Ronaldo for blaming Real Madrid’s La Liga woes on his team-mates, claiming none of the Catalan club’s players would ever do the same.

Madrid slipped to a 1-0 defeat to city rivals Atletico on Saturday thanks to a second-half strike from Antoine Griezmann.

That result, combined with Barca’s 2-1 win over Sevilla on Sunday, leaves Madrid in third place, 12 points adrift of Luis Enrique’s leaders.

And Ronaldo was quick to point the finger at his colleagues following their loss at the Santiago Bernabeu, saying “if everyone was at my level, perhaps we would be first”.

Ronaldo has since attempted to clarify his comments, insisting he was referring to the club’s injury situation and not performances.

However, Mestre told Movistar : “Our team’s players would never say what Cristiano said. The club monitors a lot of things before signing players.

“Honestly, I could not imagine one of our players saying what Cristiano said.

Asked about Barca’s commanding eight-point lead over Atletico at the top, Mestre added: “La Liga is not won at the end of February. That’s not a cliche, it’s true because we could slip up and I’m sure Real Madrid will bounce back. There are no free meals here.”

FG removes 23,846 ghost workers from payroll

The Federal Government on Sunday said it has removed 23,846 non-existent workers from its payroll.

Consequently, the salary bill for February 2016 has reduced by N2.293 billion when compared to December 2015 at which time the BVN audit process commenced.

A statement from the Federal Ministry of Finance said ‘this figure represents a percentage of the number of non-existent workers who had hitherto been receiving salary from various ministries, departments and agencies.’

The statement added that further investigation of other suspected cases will continue in conjunction with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

‘ The removal of non existent workers from federal payroll and the savings on salaries was made possible because of the ongoing BVN-based staff audit and enrolment to the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS)’, the statement said.

The Federal Government is also making efforts to recover ‘salary balances in bank accounts as well as any pension contributions in respect of the deleted workers. This involves active collaboration with the concerned banks and the National Pension Commission (Pencom).

Saraki promises support for Buhari on economy

 

The Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has promised that the eighth Senate would work with the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that the policies and programmes of the administration aimed at reviving the economy are sustained on a long term basis.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Sanni Onogu, in Abuja on Sunday, Saraki stated this when he received the national executive of the Nigerian Mining and Geosciences Society (NMGS) led by its President, Professr Olugbenga Okunola.

The Senate President, according to the statement, said the senate was on a mission to ensure that the country harnesses her non-oil resources and achieve full diversification of the economy.

‘For us in the 8th Senate we have said it that our focus is to continue to give support to those sectors of our economy that will provide employment, increase the earnings of government and the growth of the economy in general.

‘And if you are talking about the growth of the economy, you have to give particular consideration to the mining sector. And what do we need to do to get that done? I want to assure you that the message I will like you to take away is that the 8th Senate is ready to give all the support in ensuring that we truly begin to harness the hitherto unexplored and neglected potentials that we have.

‘We have been talking about these potentials for a long time. It is time to talk about realising the potentials and translating them to economic power. That is our own vision and mission.

‘We have all seen the downside of being a mono-product economy. We are all suffering from it now. When you see what is happening to our revenues, our foreign exchange inflows and particularly what is happening to even the foreign exchange rate due to our over dependence on crude oil.

‘The projections that it is going to be down for a couple of years means that any serious minded country needs to look at the options available. And some of the things we are seeing now is because there is a lot of speculation out there.

‘A lot of the speculators believe that we don’t have the political will to see through some of the policies and programmes aimed at diversifying the economy and that is why you see a lot of them are betting against the naira.

‘That is why you see all of a sudden, the Naira is rebounding because they are beginning to see that it appears that this government is committed on its policy.

‘I want to assure you that we are committed. The political will is there. We are very determined to see that we diversify. All these things you are talking about are well known to a lot of us.

‘The frustration has been that we have not been able to see it through. I want to assure you that this Senate is committed to ensure that we support the executive in sustaining these long term polices. This is important and that is where we must start from,’ Saraki said.

Earlier, Professor Gbenga Okunola, said the Society visited the Senate President to among others appreciate what the 8th Senate has been doing.

‘We have been talking about diversification of the nation’s economy over the years….I think as a society, as professionals, this is what we have been clamouring for over the years that we are sitting on buried riches and that the government is now saying that they want to take this serious gladdens us.

‘That is why we are here to appreciate this government for what they are doing and we are ready to offer our professional help – we are not talking in terms of financial reward – but this is one thing we want to offer our country.

2-year-old dies after being trapped under large snow

A deluge of snow slid off a cabin’s roof in eastern Idaho and buried three children underneath, resulting in the death of a 2-year-old child.
The accident occurred on Friday night around 5:21 p.m. in the Mack’s Inn area, according to the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office.

Emergency responders took more than 30 minutes to dig the three children out, because they were covered in several feet of snow and ice, according to the Idaho State Journal.

The three victims, which included two 7-year-olds, were airlifted to the hospital, according to the sheriff’s office. The toddler, Halle Merrill, died from her injuries, the Idaho State Journal said.

Both 7-year-olds are now listed in fair condition at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.

Oscar shines on ‘Spotlight’

Spotlight” is basking in the golden glow of Oscar.

“Mad Max: Fury Road” may have won more honors at the 88th Academy Awards, leading all films with six. “The Revenant” won some major prizes, including the first Oscar for actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

But when the last award of the evening was read, it was the little film about Boston Globe investigative reporters digging into a sex abuse scandal involving Catholic priests that was left standing.

“This film gave a voice to survivors,” producer Michael Sugar said. “And this film amplifies that voice, which we hope will become a choir that will resonate all the way to the Vatican.”

It was one of just two awards “Spotlight” took home. The film also won for Tom McCarthy and Josh Singer’s original screenplay.

But until that moment, it looked like “Revenant,” about a vengeful trapper in the 1820s, was going to go all the way.

Alejandro González Iñárritu notched his second straight Oscar in the directing category; he’s the first person to pull off that feat since Joseph L. Mankiewicz in 1949-50. The film’s Emmanuel Lubezki also kept a streak going, winning his third straight Oscar for cinematography.

But the big story was DiCaprio, who finally won an Oscar with his fifth acting nomination.

After taking some time to thank Iñárritu, co-star Tom Hardy and director Martin Scorsese, among others, DiCaprio put in a plug for environmentalism.

“Climate change is real. It is happening right now; we needed to go to the tip of South America to find snow. … It is the most urgent threat facing our entire species,” he said. “We need to support leaders around the world who speak for indigenous people, for humanity, the voices who have been drowned out by the politics of greed. Do not take this planet for granted. … I do not take this night for granted. Thank you.”

We will look at the players we believe can help the team, including Vincent Enyeama and Emmanuel Emenike who retired from the team last year.

I AM NOT LIKE BLATTER – INFANTINO

New Fifa president Gianni Infantino is keen to put a stop to comparisons between himself and predecessor Sepp Blatter.

Infantino was elected in Zurich on Friday and replaces Blatter, whose hometown lies just six miles from that of his compatriot.

Blatter saw his reign come to an end amid allegations of corruption at world football’s governing body and is now serving a reduced six-year ban from the sport.

The Swiss’ punishment arose over payment of two million Swiss francs (£1.3million) made to Uefa boss Michel Platini in 2011 that infringed upon Fifa Code of Ethics.

And Infantino is keen to shift the spotlight away from the common ground he shares with Blatter, telling SonntagsBlick: “Infantino is Infantino, Blatter is Blatter.”

“Sepp Blatter marked an era in Fifa. I hope that I will characterise a new era in Fifa.

“I’m my own man. Otherwise I would not have won such a vote. But I am still on good terms with Platini.”

Discussing life since the result, Infantino commented: “I have practically not slept, only a few minutes maybe. Everything is somewhere between a dream and reality.

“I have probably not yet fully realised what has happened. We celebrated with the family a little, drank a glass of red wine. I am very emotional but full of energy and drive.

“[I was] not confident of victory. I was very calm, surprisingly quiet. Normally I stress more. I had the feeling I had done everything possible in the election campaign and I wanted to enjoy the day.

“The emotions overwhelmed me almost. My wife hugged me – it was an incredible moment.

“Also, my 81-year-old mother was able to witness it all. It is a gift and it touched me deeply.

Man allegedly kills 14 family members with a knife, then hangs self

An Indian man allegedly killed 14 family members, including eight children, with a knife before taking his own life Sunday, a police spokesman said.

A little information for your wives, daughters and all females that matter in your life, read why here

Student hospitalized after leaving on a tampon for 9 days –  suffers toxic shock.
She narrates her story below…
“I was feeling really ill by that stage. I was hot and dizzy and felt really strange. “I was bleeding more and my mum suggested I feel about and see if there was anything there.”

She said she checked her vagina then discovered the tampon was still inside her. She said when she pulled it out it was “pure black” and “obviously coated in bacteria”. Which made her rush to the hospital.

After being admitted to intensive care, Doctors said she was suffering from sepsis (blood poisoning) as a result of Toxic Shock Syndrome – an infection caused by bacteria forming on the tampon. The condition is believed to be caused when certain types of bacteria – which are normally found on the skin – get into the body through a wound, burn or through the vagina or throat, according to online search. And if it’s not treated in time, can lead to limb amputations and even prove fatal.

The third-year criminology student said she had inserted the tampon during her period last month but due to stress had forgotten to remove it and insert another one

Doctors managed to save her life using antibiotics but Ms Pankhurst is still unable to walk long distances. 
She said her boyfriend has been very supportive, he feeds her and carries her to places whenever she is very weak to walk.

Ms Pankhurst said girls her age are “not aware of the dangers of using tampons”.
She added:

“It is so important to keep an eye on your health, especially during stressful life experiences.

“I hope my story can help others like myself to take care of your health and not take your life for granted because you never know what might be around the corner.”

Meet the first African to fly around the world alone and he’s a Nigerian 🙌🙌🙌

A Nigerian pilot named Ademilola Odujinrin is set to make history as the first African to fly around the world alone. This historical journey will happen in April according to Demilola who said he’s put everything in place to ensure a hitch-free journey. He said his solo expedition will begin in Lagos and take him round the 7 continents of the world. It will take 6 weeks to complete and he will end his journey in Lagos sometime in May.

“The project aims to inspire Nigeria’s teeming population to begin to conceive a world without borders with unbridled dreams to transform the Nigerian narrative while shattering all stereotypes. The planned solo expedition will be achieved flying the aircraft, Cirrus SR22. It has a total payload of about 439kg. This particular aircraft with registration number N313CD has been specifically modified for this journey with additional long-range tanks and a HF radio installed for longer stretches of the journey,’’ he said.

Demilola said he’s currently undergoing physical and psychological training to prepare him for the challenges of operating a flight without any assistance for six weeks. The operation will cost about a million dollars according to Transcend project, who are supporting the project.
