The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) will now hold from August 4 to September 5, 2020.

This was announced by the Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajuiba, on Monday during the daily COVID-19 Presidential Task Force briefing.

“As soon as we conclude WAEC, we will take NABTEB and NECO,” he said.

The federal government last week approvedwhat it called “safe reopening” of schools nationwide.

The government said the reopening of schools was meant to allow students in graduating classes (Primary 6, JSS 3, SS3) resume preparation for examinations.

Ooni Adopt 17year Old Pencil Art Boy

The Ooni of ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi ojaja ll wrote on Instagram

I got tagged on Twitter a few months back from a young man who made a brilliant pencil drawing of myself, in my appreciation for his art I invited him to my palace.

17 year old superlative Samuel who is just about to graduate from secondary school has been adopted by me, his fees till his tertiary education will be taken care of by me, and he will be gainfully employed right here in my palace.

Its clear that if we all work together as a people, irrespective of our special positions or privileged social status, we can deliver access to sustainable socioeconomic opportunity that suit our people. It was an endless gratitude for me meeting his mother who is a corn seller and who demonstrates an incredible heart of motherhood. She reveres in awe of the Stool of Oduduwa at the sight of me.

Politics / HUSHPUPPI: Group Wants The FBI, Interpol, To Arrest And Question Atiku, Deji, Ot by 9jaStarMedia: 2:07pm On Jul 02, 2020
HUSHPUPPI: Group Wants The FBI, Interpol, To Arrest And Question Atiku, Deji, Others, Over Alleged Links To The Alleged Instagram Celebrity Fraudster

The National Coalition of Democrats, NCD, has called on the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, and International Police, Interpol, to arrest and investigate a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, and other Stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over alleged possible links to arrested suspected Instagram Celebrity fraudster, Raymond Igbalode, popularly known as Hushpuppi.

Renowned for his flamboyant lifestyle, Hushpuppi and 12 others, were nabbed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, UAE, by the Interpol on June 10, over multiple cyber crimes and money laundering to the tune of 150 million dirhams (N168 billion).

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, subsequently declared the Instagram Celebrity wanted, over links to several cyber frauds.

In a statement signed by its Spokesman, Garuba Nuhu, on Wednesday, the National Coalition of Democrats reasoned that there could be more to this act, especially with Hushpuppi’s alleged known relationship with some PDP members, as seen in pictures and videos on the social media.

According to the group, Hushpuppi might have actually worked discreetly with the opposition party, in laundering of funds for the prosecution of the 2019 general elections.


The NCD said that its logic is born out of the fact that PDP top shots, led by its Presidential Candidate in the 2019 elections, held several meetings in Dubai, ahead of the polls, and the likes of Atiku, Dino Melaye, Timi Frank, and Deji Adeyanju, are possibly his close Associates.

The group, therefore, called on the FBI and Interpol to investigate Atiku and other PDP members who may have been first-line beneficiaries of the fraud committed by Hushpuppi.

It added that Hushpuppi could have likely “assisted these individuals to launder funds through his network, because the level of fraternity between Hushpuppi and these individuals points to that direction”.

Politics / Views!!! On Obaseki’s Certificate SAGA…. by 9jaStarMedia: 7:03pm On Jun 14, 2020
Obaseki had presented his certificate even tho its in photocopy format! The arguments of, if the grades are correct is left for WAEC to authenticate.


I think subjects outrightly failed in WAEC will not be record on the certificate, maybe that is why mathematics is missing out and other subject. Also, he might have sat for another school leaving Exam somewhere else which qualifies him to enrol into University of Ibadan.- only him can tell.

In modern day, students can combine 2 sittings to get admitted into the university. I wouldn’t know how it was done in the past. Today, students have opportunity to sit for 4 exams within a year (WAEC & NECO and their corresponding GCEs)

On the issue of his grades, what the constitution state is that one must have sat for a school leaving certificate exam before one can vie for any office. A case study of Adeleke who sat for only English in his WAEC despite having F9 in the subject he sat for. The Certificate was admissible at the court because there was evidence he sat for an exam which the constitution emphasized.
javascript:void(0);
As it stands I think Obaseki stand the chance to contest with his display of his WAEC- the minimum requirement by law .

Crime / Customs Killing: NANS, NAOSS Label Senator Odebiyi Dormant, Passive Lawmaker by 9jaStarMedia: 9:21am On May 14, 2020
The national leadership of the National Association Nigerian Students (NANS) and National Association of Ogun State Students (NAOSS) have passed a vote of no confidence on Senator Tolu Odebiyi representing Ogun West Senatorial District at the Senate, describing him as “a passive and dormant lawmaker,” who was unconcerned about the plights of his constituents.

The students’ groups also stood firmly by their position that Senator Tolu Odebiyi, representing Ogun West Senatorial District at the Senate is insensitive to the incessant killing of not only students but also residents of Ogun border communities.

The groups in a statement, jointly signed by the National Vice President of NANS, Comrade Raymond Ojo and the National President of NAOSS, Comrade Gbemileke Ogunronmbi in Abeokuta on Wednesday, insisted that Senator Odebiyi was not only insensitive to the incessant killing of his constituents by the men of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) but also not proactive enough in finding lasting solution to the menace.

“We want to state unequivocally that Senator Tolu Odebiyi has continue to remain silent and has also refused to show any serious commitment to bring a stop to the destruction of lives and property going on in his constituency by the men of the NCS all in the name of fighting smugglers.

Politics / Ogun State: The Story Of An Elephant (amosun) And A Sheep (dapo). by 9jaStarMedia: 9:17am On May 13, 2020
I turned on my radio this morning listening to Sweet 107.1FM, Abeokuta. There were discussants on a programme titled “Gentlemen of the Press."

On that programme, they were reviewing what the government of Governor Dapo Abiodun is doing to flatten the curve of the spread of COVID-19 in Ogun state.

There were different submissions, allegations and counter allegations.

When it was time to get the reactions of listeners, a message was read: “I miss former Governor Ibikunle Amosun." That was what somebody had to say about the whole discussion.

Immediately the message was read, I began to ruminate over it. Why does this person miss Amosun? What would Amosun have done differently at a time like this?

The sender of that message did not say much. He only said he missed Amosun. But, believe me sincerely, that message is fully loaded.

After careful analysis of that message, I began to realise why the person must have said he missed Amosun.

Everybody in Ogun State knows Amosun is a workaholic. He doesn't sleep until he gets things done. Even when there was no pandemic, he didn't sit in his room to give orders. He doesn't believe in photos. Whatever project he embarks on, Amosun will keep visiting the site day and night until everything is done to what he termed ‘Ogun Standard'.

By now, Amosun's presence would have been felt everywhere, especially in Ogun border communities, where many are flouting the interstate travel ban. The palliatives would have gotten to many, if not all.

He was not a Governor that would keep journalists waiting for hours thinking about what to tell them.

Honestly, no one knows the kind of ‘machine' that is inside Amosun. He can trek kilometres without getting tired. He can work from morning till night without taking a rest. That's the kind of person we need at a time like this.

If Amosun were to be the governor of Ogun State this time, those violating the orders of the government won't have the courage to do so. He has this charisma. He earns respect without forcing it. The Senator has this style of convincing people to obey government policies and directives. He is not the type that addresses his people once in seven days. I know he would be giving daily updates to carry the people along.

I remember when former Senator Iyabo Anisulowo was kidnapped in 2016, the man was on top of the situation. He personally joined the search for the former Ogun West Senator.

Amosun was in Yewa to join security agents in searching for Anisulowo. He deployed all security apparatus to ensure Anisulowo was rescued unhurt. That's courageous of him.

During his reign, Amosun proved to the entire Ogun indigenes that he was really there to rebuild Ogun State. Like seriously, he accomplished that mission to rebuild.

The Yorubas do warn against comparing one child with another. This is because if we do that, we may annoyingly beat one child to death. Amosun stands out among equals.

Let me be frank right now. Many of us didn't like him when he was the governor. It was after he left office that we started seeing the difference between a stream and a river.

Just like that person said on radio, we are really missing Amosun this time. There is no gainsaying the fact that Ogun State needs someone like him at a time like this.

His level of proactiveness is second to none. All thanks to his visions in making Ogun what it is today. Think about the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) which he increased in geometric progression. Think about the urban renewal drive. He has made Ogun investors destination of choice.

Amosun has raised the bar of governance in Ogun state to the level that anybody operating below that bar will be seen as being ‘non-performing'.

It is no joke. In fact, Ogun people now want their governor to be everywhere like Amosun. I'm not sure if everybody can be like that.

When I saw a video of a Governor enforcing the lockdown order by stopping cars on the road, I said this is exactly what Amosun would have done if this had happened under him, because he is very aware of the porosity of Ogun borders with Benin Republic, Lagos, Oyo, Osun and Ondo.

Please note that I'm not doing a comparison, I'm only saying Amosun is one in a million. Ogun people will continue to miss him.

Politics / A Closed Mouth Is A Closed Destiny”.. Dr David Oyedepo. by 9jaStarMedia: 8:14pm On Sep 30, 2019
Growing up in one of the popular borders in Nigeria was fearful and disheartening.

Well, we kept quite when officers of the Nigeria Customs Service, bully us and treat us as uneducated, uncivilized and unproductive Citizens of Nigeria. Well we felt it is good to suffer in the hands of the Government of the Country.

The officers have been able to justify so many actions ranging from inversion of houses, destruction of private vehicles and major unguided use of the raffles leading to the death of several innocents Citizens. They have always said all these are done in accordance with the CUSTOMS & EXCISE MANAGEMENT ACT (CEMA).

Fine,Nigeria as a country is bonded by laws and acts, as a citizen of the country, it’s our primary responsibility to obey all laws diligently.

Now why will this officers disobey their acts and law by giving power to some elements called COW BOYs.

The general effects of this unknown individual has been so heartbreaking. They are unintelligent and yet arrogant, faceless individuals who would just disappear after causing havoc.

It is high time we stop this menace, it’s high time we put an end to all this.

Gistsfanz Recall that Diane fell in love with the brilliant and charming Elozonam after his fourth week in the house despite stating that she doesn’t dig light-skinned men. She had tried to be careful and wary of him but love-struck in the seventh week when she found herself drifting towards him.

With him expressing his feelings for her and she reciprocating through her actions, the two became inseparable and share a particular bond so much that when he emerged the Head of House for the 12th week, the bedroom was shared with her. However, Elozonam has a close friendship with Tacha and that doesn’t seem to sit well with Diane, especially after she had a fight with her after the Veto Power box was lost.

The couple had a rift after he ate Tacha’s food and he took to explaining the situation to Mercy and Ike as seen below

The Senate had in 2018 called on the Central Bank of Nigeria to suspend the deduction of card maintenance fee.
The upper legislative chamber also directed its banking committee to investigate the deduction in comparison with what obtained in other countries .
The earning of some banks in account maintenance charges may have been propelled by large customer base.
Two leading banks by profit , Zenith Bank Plc and GTBank , for instance , have over 8 .6 million and 16 million customers respectively.
Specifically, Zenith Bank recorded N 9. 57 bn from account maintenance fee in the first six months of 2019 . This reflects 10 . 76 per cent increase over N 8. 64 bn reported in the first six months of 2018 .
GTBank Group ’s audited report for the first six months of the year ; N 5 . 71 bn was generated for maintaining customers account in the first six months of the year , up from N 5 . 18 bn in the first six months of 2018 .
The merger between Access Bank Plc and Diamond Bank Plc aided 96 . 15 per cent increase on account maintenance fees of Access Bank , moving from N 3. 14 bn in the first six months of 2018 to N 6 .16 bn in the first six months of 2019 .
Access Bank in its audited result and accounts for the six months ended June 30 said account maintenances fees were fees charged on current account .

He noted that the CBN guide prescribed that the rate chargeable by a bank for this fee was negotiable with a customer subject to a maximum of N 1.00 per mille” .
Ogubunka said, “Consequently, no bank is authorised to make this charge without first, negotiating with the customer and the agreed rate must not be more than N1.00 per mille .
“ How many customers know that they ought to negotiate with banks on this fee? How many cross -check and verify the type, amount and basis of charges entered into their accounts by their banks ? How many seek redress when necessary ?
“ Nevertheless, the Guide ’s provision, directly or indirectly, places the burden on the banks . It is their responsibility to call the attention of their customers for negotiation.”
He called on regulators and supervisors of banks in the country to investigate and confirm that banks are complying with regulatory provisions on account maintenance charges.
According to him , CBN needs to impose deterrent sanctions on any bank found , not just violating the regulations but more fundamentally , cheating customers as well as putting the reputation of banks and bankers in disrepute .
He asked bank customers to examine their accounts periodically , with a view to ensuring they were managed in accordance with the rules / regulations of banking operation in the country .

WATFORD 2-2 ARSENAL
FT: What an absolutely fantastic match. Might be my favourite Premier League game of the season so far.
Quique Sánchez Flores returns to Watford and gets a point from two-goals down against Arsenal. Both sides running on fumes in the closing stages. Very gutsy from the Hornets.
This was the first time that Arsenal failed to win a Premier League match in which they were at least two goals ahead since April 2016 when they drew 3-3 with West Ham.
94: Tom Cleverley fouls Ainsley Maitland-Niles and that might just be that.
93: What a chance! Oh my goodness. It should have been mission complete for Watford. Abdoulaye Doucouré tanks the length of the field before popping it over to Ismaila Sarr. the summer recruit cuts it back for Doucouré, who drives it straight at Leno.
92: Both sides WANT to find a winner - but everyone looks absolutely exhausted. Étienne Capoue cynically trips Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the halfway line.

90: There has never been a draw between these two sides in the Premier League. Four minutes added time.
88: Watford have had 28 efforts today. Arsenal have had seven.
87: Arsenal don’t seem to have anything left in the tank. They can’t get the ball upfield and are simply trying to survive for a point.
Corner to Watford after David Luiz blocks Tom Cleverley’s fizzed effort. Cleared.
85: Since the start of last season, no side has conceded more goals via penalties in the Premier League than Arsenal (10 - level with Brighton), with the Gunners already conceded three this season alone.
84: Watford come again! Arsenal can’t clear their lines and the ball falls to Gerard Deulofeu, who whips it inches past the far post.

82: I’m sure even the most ardent Arsenal fans will admit they’ve been second best for long periods today.
WATFORD 2-2 ARSENAL | PEREYRA
80: GOAL! Cool as you like. Substitute Roberto Pereyra sends Bernd Leno the wrong way to draw Watford level. The Gunners have squandered a two-goal lead! Grandstand finish coming up!
PENALTY TO WATFORD!
79: Roberto Pereyra drives into the penalty area where David Luiz swings a lazy leg. The Watford star goes down and referee Anthony Taylor awards the penalty.

78: Referee Anthony Taylor books Bernd Leno for time wasting. Watford fans enjoyed that. Daryl Janmaat on for Jose Holebas.
76: Oh this is a good watch. It’s end-to-end stuff now as formation, shape and composure go out of the window.
Ismaila Sarr wins the corner for Watford. Craig Dawson and co. trundle forward as David Luiz claps his hands to galvanise his colleagues. It does the trick.
73: Boos turn to cheers as Mesut Ozil is taken off. Unai Emery is bulking up that midfield by sending on Reiss Nelson.
Nelson has a decent chance to put the game to bed immediately when striding onto a cutback. He powers it straight at Ben Foster from just outside the box.

70: We have 20 minutes remaining at Vicarage Road and it looks like Arsenal are going to need one more goal to put this to bed. Watford keep pushing.
69: Quique Sánchez Flores has aged 10 years watching this.
66: Watford are relentless! Deulofeu rolls it to Sarr, who turns and strikes wide of the target. Roberto Pereyra then executes a back-heel that almost finds Tom Cleverley at the back post.
More boos from Arsenal fans as Unai Emery withdraws Mattéo Guendouzi for Lucas Torreira.
Watford vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates

63: The bottom side continue to dominate at Vicarage Road. Gerard Deulofeu gets behind the Arsenal defence for the umpteenth time and Mattéo Guendouzi manages to block for a corner.
Roberto Pereyra on for Will Hughes.
60: A few boos from the away end as Unai Emery opts to take off Ceballos. Joe Willock on.
59: Since the start of last season, Arsenal's players have made a combined 14 errors leading to opposition goals in the Premier League, at least two more than any other club in this time.
58: Woosh! Watford smell blood and Gerard Deulofeu has been revitalised. The Spaniard cuts inside before lashing a curling effort narrowly past the post. Arsenal creaking…
55: Quique Sánchez Flores wastes no time in seizing the momentum. He sends on record signing Ismaila Sarr on for Andre Gray.

WATFORD 1-2 ARSENAL | CLEVERLEY
53: GOAL! Oh Sokratis… Papastathopoulos has gifted Watford a lifeline with a catastrophic error.
The Arsenal defender collects the ball from Bernd Leno before trying to thread the ball to Matteo Guendouzi on the edge of the box.
Instead, the pass deflects off Gerard Deulofeu and straight to the feet of Tom Cleverley, who makes no mistake with the shot.
52: Currently nothing happening. So much so that Martin Tyler and Alan Smith are discussing the fact Dani Ceballos once completed a hairdressing course…
51: At what stage will Quique Sánchez Flores unleash record signing Ismaila Sarr? Not really seen a great deal of improvement from the Hornets since he resumption.
Watford vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates

48: The omens aren’t really very good for Watford. They were the only side NOT to score against Arsenal last season and haven’t notched a goal against them in three successive fixtures.
Massive chance for Watford to put that record to bed as Mattéo Guendouzi plays a woeful blind pass straight to Andre Gray inside the Arsenal penalty area. Granit Xhaka spares his blushes with a well-timed interception.
WATFORD 0-2 ARSENAL
45: And we’re back underway at Vicarage Road. Just heard that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has never scored a Premier League hat-trick? He won’t have too many better chances of changing that record.
No changes for either side.

Twitter round-up
Alistair: Mercurial talent, or bone-idle lazy lethargic overpaid reason-Ramsey-left luxury? You decide!
Tom: Watford’s whole game plan revolves around bullying and being physical yet you go near them and they want a free-kick for everything.
Izzy: Just spotted Troy Deeney enjoying a cup of Lipton tea!
Uche: Matteo Guendouzi is the new Jack Wilshere for Arsenal. Always ready to back the beef, run his mouth & support his boys in a fight. Get you a man like that wavy-haired baller...
I believe Alistair is talking about Mesut Ozil. Just a guess…
20 - There were 20 passes in the build-up to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's second goal for Arsenal against Watford - the longest passing sequence leading to a goal in the 2019-20 Premier League campaign so far. Rhythmic. pic.twitter.com/5yPy0uPmEy

WATFORD 0-2 ARSENAL
HT: Arsenal have themselves a two-goal advantage without having to really get out of second gear. Watford are easily getting to the opposition final third but there’s simply been no end product.
45: FIGHT! We’ve been treated to a needless scrap by man, myth and booking legend Jose Holebas, who decides to start a shoving match with Nicolas Pepe.
Holebas is gesturing to the referee that he’s been elbowed by Pepe. Just watching the replay now… absolutely nothing. But that didn’t stop Mattéo Guendouzi flying in to defend his mate. Both booked.
Watford vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates
Watford vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates (Image: GETTY)
44: Sead Kolasinac is the first player in the book for dragging back Will Hughes right on the byline. Good chance to deliver a cross here.
Jose Holebas takes it… saved. The full-back went for goal but Bernd Leno was wise to it and plucks it out of the sky.
43: Well… that’s quite a chant from the Arsenal fans. “Dani Ceballos, Dani Ceballos, he drinks Estrella, he eats paella, The boys f*****g magic.”
40: If Watford are going to salvage anything from this game - a goal in the next five minutes is critical.
37: Aubameyang has scored with seven of his last nine shots on target in the Premier League, including each of his last four and two against Watford today.
And to think of those rumours over the summer that Arsenal were considering cashing in on their top scorer…
Watford vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates
Watford vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates (Image: GETTY)
34: More opportunities for Watford, more opportunities squandered. Gerard Deulofeu tests Bernd Leno before Will Hughes sends one over.
The Hornets are creating enough - but their big problem looks to be confidence. They have absolutely none in front of goal.
WATFORD 0-2 ARSENAL | AUBAMEYANG
31: GOAL! Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is on a hat-trick after just 31 minutes as the Gabon international doubles Arsenal’s lead.
It’s a nice goal with Mesut Ozil the architect. He slips Ainsley Maitland-Niles through down the right and the wing-back crosses for Aubameyang to convert. Very easy, very simple.
Watford vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates

30: Sky Sports cameras pan to Troy Deeney watching from the directors box. He’s got a cup of tea in hand, lecturing someone on what’s happening on the field. Either that or they are discussing tea. Both excellent topics.
27: Not the worst response, not the best either. Arsenal want a second and it’s close to arriving when Mesut Ozil nearly finds Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the middle with a lofted cross.
24: What kind of response are we going to see from Watford? They’ve had a tendency to collapse.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been directly involved in four goals in four Premier League games against Watford, scoring three times and assisting once.

WATFORD 0-1 ARSENAL | AUBAMEYANG
21: GOAL! Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opens the scoring totally against the run of play.
Quique Sánchez Flores is furious because he thinks there was a foul in the build-up when Dani Ceballos won the ball from Will Hughes. Play continues with Sead Kolasinac feeding Aubameyang, who takes a beautiful touch before firing low past Ben Foster.
Sucker-punch of the highest order.
Watford vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates

20: Arsenal really don’t look comfortable playing this formation. Looks like Lucas Torreira should be on the field to beef up the midfield. Étienne Capoue is getting plenty of joy pulling the strings for Watford.
17: Watford are dominating. Arsenal are losing the midfield battles and Gerard Deulofeu is being given acres of space to run at Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The Spaniard wriggles into the box before laying it up for Étienne Capoue to fire miles over.
15: David Luiz with a strange approach to defending - volume 102. He allows Tom Cleverley to advance on goal before unleashing a cracking strike that Leno tips over. No idea why he opted NOT to close him down.
12: “Looks like the same tactical setup for Arsenal - 4-4-2 with a midfield diamond - which Emery used at Liverpool, attracting plenty of criticism in the process. Liverpool’s full-backs had plenty of joy that day - Watford will hope Kiko Femenia and Jose Holebas can cause similar problems,” write journalist James Olley.
Watford vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates

10: Jose Holebas, who fell out with Javi Gracia in the final months of his tenure, crunches into Nicolas Pepe and comes out worse. He’s also given away a free-kick right next to the corner flag.
Mesut Ozil to deliver… headed clear by Craig Dawson.
9: First chance falls to Watford and it's Deulofeu who curls one from the edge of the box. No real venom on the connection and Bernd Leno saves.
7: Watford boss Quique Sánchez Flores said his first order of business would be to tighten things up. And that’s fairly evident early on with plenty of yellow shirts in the middle of the park.
5: So many attacking players in this Arsenal side. And obviously they’ve not played together too often. Could it be a case of too many cooks this afternoon?
Watford vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates

3: I must admit - I have a horse in this race. I currently lie bottom of my fantasy football mini league and Gerard Deulofeu goal would do wonders for me.
Watford have started well with Gerard Deulofeu looking spritely down that left channel. Causing one or two problems early.
WATFORD 0-0 ARSENAL
1: And we’re underway at Vicarage Road. Can Quique Sánchez Flores get his second tenure underway in spectacular style? Or will Unai Emery’s side get the job done? We’re about to find out!
Quique Sánchez Flores bowed and waved to supporters before kick-off. He’s looking extremely relaxed and happy. Give it six months and he may well feel differently.

Why Ozil?
16:25: Arsenal boss Unai Emery, explaining his decision to include Mesut Ozil: "He trained with us in the position he's playing and was good, and with the circumstances we could not play with him, but now he's playing, he's training with a normal attitude for three weeks, and he can help us today.

Sports / Cristiano Ronaldo Has Now Scored 90 International Goals by 9jaStarMedia: 11:28pm On Sep 10, 2019
Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored 90 international goals - more than any European player in history



Cristiano Ronaldo is an absolute icon.
The Portuguese forward is arguably the most recognisable footballer in the world and plenty of fans believe he's the greatest player of all time.

In fact, many give him G.O.A.T status above his great rival Lionel Messi because of his accomplishments on the international stage.

The Juventus forward has won two major trophies with his country - the European Championships in 2016 and the UEFA Nations League in 2019.
On top of that, Ronaldo is Portugal's all-time top scorer and he has more caps than anyone else for the national team.
Ronaldo & Rooney Man Utd highlights go viral Juventus duo are Serie A's highest-paid players Check out our new GIVEMESPORT homepage And this week, he's broken another record. Against Lithuania on Tuesday night, CR7 scored his 90th goal for Portugal. Check it out below:
No player in the history of European football has scored that many international goals. What a ridiculous achievement.
In fact, his closest challenger, the legendary Ferenc Puskas, managed 84 for Hungary - six less than Cristiano.
Only one footballer, former Iran forward Ali Daei, has scored more goals than Ronaldo on the international stage.
He has 109. It's a massive number, but it's another record that the Portuguese could break before he retires.
After all, his country have four more qualifiers ahead of Euro 2020, then the tournament itself next summer.
Should Portugal make it, they will be defending their European crown, which was won four years ago in France.
The competition also gives Ronaldo another chance to win silverware on the international stage and further cement his status as the greatest footballer of all-time.
But, that of course, is talk for next summer. Right now, we just need to respect the fact that CR7 has reached the landmark of 90 goals. What a player.
