Fearer arteta

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says their top-of-the-table game against Manchester City will not decide the Premier League title.

League leaders Arsenal are five points above Pep Guardiola's side before Wednesday's match at Etihad Stadium.

However, City have two games in hand on the Gunners who have drawn three league matches in succession.

"We knew we had to go to Etihad, it will be difficult, but will it decide the season? No," Arteta said.

"The belief is there, I look at how the players reacted after Southampton, they defend each other in every moment. We really want it and we are again going to show it tomorrow night.

"But it has to be perfect because that is what is demanded at this time in the season."

Arsenal, who last won the Premier League in 2004, drew 3-3 against bottom-placed Southampton on Friday, after squandering two-goal leads against both West Ham and Liverpool.

"If we win tomorrow we have not won the league. It will shift probably the percentage, but five games in this league is very tricky still," Arteta said.

"We knew from the beginning City and Liverpool were the teams to beat, what they have done for the last six to seven years they deserve credit. We wanted to close the gap, now we are toe to toe."

Arteta said midfielder Granit Xhaka, who missed the Southampton game with illness, is a doubt for the City fixture, while centre-back William Saliba has shown "no real improvement" in his recovery from the injury he sustained in the Europa League penalty shootout defeat to Sporting Lisbon in March.

After reading through the comments to this topic, Why won't buhari say he has improved Nigeria's economy a lot when the citizens make and spend money ruthlessly. Some people here are spending 2M naira a week, wow!

Those cities were built by the Boers not blacks.

Those cities were built over several decades from proceeds of daimond, Gold and platinum found in South Africa.

Expensive metals that worth more than crude oil.

Generals have been running the north-east African country of Sudan through what is called the Sovereign Council since a coup in October 2021.

The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is under the command of the council's vice-president, Gen Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. The army, meanwhile, is led by Gen Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who is the head of the Sovereign Council.

A proposed move to a civilian-led government has floundered on a timetable to integrate the RSF into the national army.

The RSF wanted to delay the move for 10 years, but the army said it should happen in two.

FG should propose the bolded to ipob too

Italian media have reported that a "very complex" operation led to the evacuation of 150 Italian nationals by air to nearby Djibouti.

The group, which included children and elderly people, was mostly made up of diplomatic corps, NGO personnel and entrepreneurs. The last to leave were the Italian ambassador and military personnel.

The minister of foreign affairs Antonio Tajani said on Sunday that Italy was planning to help evacuate Swiss nationals, Vatican diplomats, and several other European citizens, and that the evacuees would be escorted by members of the special forces.

Tajani also said he received assurances from both sides in the conflict that the Italian contingent would be able to leave the country safely.

Almost 40 Italian nationals working with the NGO Emergency are left in Sudan, Italian media has reported.

FG should do same as the big brother of Africa we claim to be

Inter striker Romelu Lukaku was racially abused by Juventus fans during their latest Coppa Italia meeting in Turin but is somehow the only one punished by FIGC.

The Belgian striker received two yellow cards in a 1-1 draw against Juventus in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals on April 4. He received the second yellow card after a goal celebration which was seen as disrespectful to the home crowd.

However, Lukaku had received racist abuse from the ‘majority of the 5,000 Juventus fans in the Curva Sud’ as noted by FIGC inspectors, so he reacted with his usual goal celebration and shouted ‘shut up’ to Juventus fans.

For this reason, he received a second yellow card and was therefore sent off. Inter have lost their appeal to FIGC, meaning Lukaku’s ban for the return leg at San Siro has been confirmed. Oddly, the Belgian forward is the only one punished despite receiving racist insults.
Juventus’ Curva Sud, in fact, had been closed for a game, but the Old Lady won its appeal, having helped authorities identify some racist fans, banning them from the Allianz Stadium.

The same had happened to Lazio in March when the ‘entirety’ of supporters in Curva Nord made anti-semitic chants during a Derby Della Capitale against Roma. Given that the Biancocelesti collaborated with authorities, the one-match ban for Curva Nord has been put on hold for a year.

The latest FIGC verdict on Lukaku has left many surprised, given that the 29-year-old always celebrates this way, and in this particular case, he reacted to racist insults with a few words that were not offensive at all.

Given the circumstances, it would have been fair for FIGC to re-consider his one-match ban, especially considering that the Chelsea loanee was not only racially abused in Turin but is now also the only one punished.

India is set to overtake China to become the most populous country in the world by the middle of this year, data released by the United Nations shows.

India's population is expected to reach 1.4286 billion - 2.9 million more than its neighbour on 1.4257 billion.

The Asian nations have accounted for more than a third of the global population for over 70 years.

China's birth rate has plunged recently with its population shrinking last year for the first time since 1961.

India's population forecast provided in the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) State of World Population report is an estimate since there has been no census in the country since 2011.

After 140 years of uninterrupted census every 10 years, the 2021 census was cancelled because of Covid and postponed to 2022. Now it has been pushed back again to 2024.

In an interview, the UN's Chief of Population Estimates and Projection, Patrick Gerland, says that any numbers about India's real population size are "naïve assumptions based on fragmental information".

"We don't have real official data coming out from India," he says.

Also, the UN says their estimate does not include the population of China's two Special Administrative Regions - Hong Kong and Macau, which together have more than 8 million people - or the island of Taiwan, which Beijing sees as a breakaway province to be unified with the mainland one day. Taiwan sees itself as distinct from the Chinese mainland, with its own constitution and democratically-elected leaders.

In November, the global population crossed 8 billion. But experts say growth is not as rapid as it used to be and is now at its slowest rate since 1950.
Both India and China have seen declines in their fertility rates. This means in China, the population will start declining next year, despite the country abandoning its one-child policy in 2016 and introducing incentives for couples to have two or more children.

Soaring living costs and the growing number of women joining the workforce are among other factors being blamed for the slowdown in China.

In India, too, fertility rates have fallen substantially in recent decades from 5.7 births per woman in 1950 to 2.2 births per woman today.
A survey commissioned by the UNFPA had a majority of Indians saying their population was too large and fertility rates too high. Almost two in three respondents identified economic issues as top concerns when thinking about population growth.

Demographers, however, say India's population overtaking China's shouldn't be seen as a matter of concern and caution against giving into anxieties over the rising numbers.

"Instead, they should be seen as a symbol of progress, development, and aspirations if individual rights and choices are being upheld," the UN report says.

You went to jog and gallivant in a brown bear's house/habitat. It gets spooked/pissed (whichever) and kills you And then people are outraged and call for the bear to be killed?

Is this not stupidity? Was the bear supposed to hug him? Or pat him on the back and tell him it is private property? Maybe kiss him and show him love?

Wetin the clown go find for bear country?


Maybe people should just.. stick to jogging on streets and using their brains, there will be less bear attacks that way.

That's why anyone with no sense of reasoning is no different than an animal.

Nigeria has approved a new malaria vaccine developed by scientists at Oxford University.

The move comes days after Ghana became the first country in the world to approve the (R21) vaccine.

The head of Nigeria's National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration, Mojisola Adeyeye, said the vaccine would be used for prevention of malaria in children aged between five months and three years - the most vulnerable group.

The approval is unusual as it comes before the publication of final stage trial data for the vaccine, which is thought to be 80% effective.

Nigeria has the highest number of malaria deaths worldwide.

The disease kills more than 6,000 people around the world every year - many of them children in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Economically most Nigerians don't really understand the technicality of subsidy and how it works.
If only there is anyone in NL that will comprehend....

Oboy, I been see this movie recommended to me on YouTube, but I still get doubt whether or not e go make. The trailer no dey impressive.
How the movie go?

The bear was dealing in cocaine till it got caught and arrested and tried in court with no final judgement from the judge in-charge, that led to a civil war which broke out in only 5 states. The bear ended up settling the war too by one particular action. I like the movie.

The lifestyle of the white man is boring.

A bear has been captured in the Italian Alps 12 days after it killed a 26-year-old jogger.

Italians were shocked by Andrea Papi's death in the north-eastern region of Trentino-Alto Adige.

Once the bear was identified as a 17-year-old known as JJ4, authorities issued an order for it to be put down.

The order for it to be shot on sight was later rescinded and JJ4 has been taken to a wildlife centre. Her fate is yet to be decided.

Andrea Papi was fatally attacked while jogging above the town of Caldes, prompting fear and anger in the region.

Bears are a protected species in Italy, and their population has been increasing in recent years after they were reintroduced to the region two decades ago.

JJ4's own parents had been brought into northern Italy from Slovenia.

She was captured after forest rangers with dogs tracked her foot-prints in snow in a mountain range known as the Brenta Dolomites.

She is currently being kept at the Casteller animal care centre near the city of Trento where another bear known as M49 is also being looked after.

M49 went on the run from a nature park for 10 months and became known as Europe's most wanted bear when he escaped for a second time in 2020.
