Sports / Victor Lindelof: Man Utd Defender Thanked By Swedish Police For Catching Thief by 2black1(m): 11:56am On Aug 25, 2020
Victor Lindelof: Man Utd defender thanked by Swedish police for catching thief.

Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has been thanked by the Swedish police for catching a thief who robbed an elderly woman on Monday.

The incident occurred in Lindelof's home city of Vasteras, 62 miles west of Sweden's capital Stockholm.

A police statement said a man in his 30s riding a bike had snatched a bag belonging to a woman in her 90s.

Lindelof is said to have "run after the suspected perpetrator", catching and holding him until the police arrived.

In a statement, Swedish police said they wanted to "take the opportunity and thank the witness for a quick and wise intervention to restore the plaintiff's property".

The woman who had her bag taken has reportedly offered to buy lunch for the 26-year-old Sweden international to thank him for his help.

The man who was arrested is suspected of aggravated theft and minor drug offences.

Lindelof made 35 Premier League appearances last season, helping United to a third-place finish.

i have a Gl450 with extremely low mileage and excellent maintenance.

Thanks for your response.
You want to talk about the 450 here or in private?
Meanwhile, you did not answer my question on the X6.
What do you advise on the X6?
I actually prefer it.

Hello Gazzuzz,

I would like to buy a MB GL450,MB GLK or BMW X6 as a second vehicle.I own a 2012 Camry.
I have heard a lot of stories about the X6 being quite problematic, though most of the claims are not substantiated with evidence.
My mind is drifting more in the direction of the X6.
What's your advice,please?
Thanks.

So now citizens are responsible for the bad roads? Please hold the govt accountable for what they should be held accountable for.

I was referring to your comments about tolling.
Nigerians generally do not like to pay for anything.They want everything for free.
Even people who have prepaid electricity meters bypass them.
Many Nigerians take this attitude abroad as they always try to beat the system by enjoying amenities and not paying for it.
I think we need to be fair and balanced in our commentary.

Come to think of it.Isn't it the lack of cohesion among the masses and greed of many occasioned by vote-buying and 'let me grab my own syndrome' that makes us continue to have terrible leaders?

False. Most countries in Europe do not have toll gates on their roads with the exception of few major motorways/crossings YET roads across the whole country including the small towns are in good conditions.

Better stop making excuses for the government. What is tax being collected for? What is revenue from oil exports for?

Please note I hate APC/PDP with passion but he is right, we citizens are contributing a great deal to the decay in the country.
Do we have any tolls booths at all?
I told people when Obasanjo was destroying the toll gates that that was going to spell the end of the motorways/highways and that has happened.
Tolling has to happen especially on the highways.That is the way it is in most countries where road infrastructure is in good condition.

The biggest problem in Nigeria's medical sector is incomplete or wrong diagnosis.
As someone rightly pointed out,there is a high chance of an underlying factor causing the high bp.
I also had similar symptoms about four years ago only that in addition to yours, I was also very restless whether day or night and sweated a lot.
Did all kinds of tests ranging from Liver function to Kidney function to blood sugar tests and a host of others until my doctor ordered a thyroid function test and it showed that I was suffering symptoms of hyperthyroidism.(overactive thyroid)
I have been taking Carbimazole for a while and my bp has been normal.
The symptoms have improved drastically as well.
You need to do tests to be know the root cause of this.

Oh my God!
How I wish we could have more Nigerians like you!
The situation is really pathetic and the fact that most of us Nigerians will disagree with these stark facts you have stated is what makes the redemption of this country a tall dream.
It is not a curse, I do not see a better Nigeria any time soon.

hardwerk:
Every last Nigerian who says they love everything about Nigeria is why Nigeria is “Nigeria”. Foreigners will definitely not understand the emphasis at a glance, but Nigerians do, no matter what they say.

Before you judge my write-up, keep in mind I’m a Nigerian by birth, upbringing and residence. I interact with Nigerians on a daily basis and I’m not rich folk, so I actually know what goes on in the heart of the country.

Nigerians are full of energy. Yes, we have potential. Lots of it. We have the smartest beings the world has ever seen (I could have been one myself, if I left the country and it’s negativity behind as an infant, no kidding). However limited by religion their thoughts are, the Nigerian society at large still pulls through with wonderful, (but short-lived) creativity.

I’m not exactly sure which of these count as a reason to not like the country and it’s people, so I’ll leave it to the reader. All I’ll do is describe.

Nigerians are aggressive, but never towards causes that make for a better living. A Nigerian can fight to the death to prove he can beat his brother, most times over nothing, but will not even blink if the government decides a whole town will not catch a glimpse of electricity for a year. “Our government is wicked o. We’re angry.” is all they can muster up. Nothing more. Nothing that can change anything.
Nigerians have zero (not exaggerating) maintenance culture. We don’t fix things until they break down completely. We apply paste and glue, then kick the damned thing back to life until we’re sure it can never work again. Then we ‘try’ to fix it, FOREVER.
Nigeria is infested and damaged beyond repair by religion. It’s like religion blocks off the part of our brains that actually evaluates logical input.
Like someone already stated, people do the exact opposite of what their holy books say and have no shame condemning you for not feigning belief as much, first chance they get.
Our countrymen would rather skin and sell a person alive if the church asks that of them. They’d rather pay tithes (in 100%) than buy lunch (which would cost about 0.1% of their tithe) for a stranded fellow.
A mother would rather her kids starve than miss a church event. Hence, ‘serving God’.
Best part yet, anything that requires a positive action is met with a moronic “do your best and leave the rest to God”, “it’s all part of God’s plan” and “pray about it”.
By the way, I’m still a Christian, at the time of writing this post and I know just about how many Nigerians would spit at this section for the raw truth in it.
Almost every situation is casual to Nigerians. Nothing, no matter how bizzare is alarming. It’s like we’re so used to shitty situations we accept just about anything. So there used to be free water supply down the street and suddenly it’s being sold? “Hmm. Na wa o.” is all, and everyone adjusts to it and moves on. Nobody goes “No! This is bullshit and we’re not having it!” Not one person. And if there ever was that one guy, absence of unity would drive the ones who are supposed to support him to actually confront him: “Na wa to you sef o. Shey na because of common water you charge like this?” The end.
The worst part yet, Nigerians will never unify to fight a common cause. “The enemy of my enemy is my ally” just doesn’t work on us. Grown men (and sadly, kids) will follow a politician, pick up arms and engage in lethal violence against their neighbours, and in the end, what do they get? A few thousand naira notes and their constant state of poverty back.
Nigerians are cheap. Kill their sons and buy a few bags of rice for their community and no one will ever speak of it again. When a few cups of rice hits a few homes, the gore is completely buried.
Any law enforcement officer can harass, mutilate or even kill a civilian and it ends in pity. “Ah! Na army man o” and everyone cowers in fear. Justice and rights end on the 9 o’clock news. None of those human rights apply on the streets. Nobody gives a poo if you’re wrong

I am sure this started as a fantasy but now almost a reality.
What do you guys think?

Europe will soon see its first underwater restaurant, according to the project's Norwegian architects. The planned concrete structure features a 36-foot wide panoramic window and is designed to become part of the marine environment. It's expected to be completed by early 2019, with construction work starting in February 2018, at the southernmost point of Norway's coastline.

The restaurant has been designed by Norwegian architectural firm Snøhetta, known for its work on the Norwegian National Opera & Ballet and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt. Called "Under," the restaurant will stand on the sea bed five meters below the surface, its thick walls designed to withstand the most variable sea conditions.
