Castgist did a survey for 2018 richest football clubs around the globe. It must be said that they are all European teams.

The average value of the top 20, which relates to the 2016-17 season, rose by 14 percent over the period.

Real Madrid, who last month won a third-straight Champions League title, were second, with a value of $4.08 billion, up 14 percent from the previous year.

Barcelona ($4.06 billion), Bayern Munich ($3.06 billion) and United's neighbours Manchester City ($2.47 billion) rounded off the top five. Six English clubs feature in the top 10.

According to Forbes, which bases valuation on the level of equity plus net debt, Barcelona or Real Madrid could soon take over top spot -- the former because of their consistently high performance in the Champions League and the latter because of additional expected revenue from their renovated stadium when completed in four years.

Only the top three clubs rank in the top 10 teams in all sports, with United, Real Madrid and Barcelona taking up the 2-4 spots behind the NFL's Dallas Cowboys but just ahead of baseball's New York Yankees.

Forbes said the 20 most valuable teams are now worth an average of $1.69 billion, a rise it attributed to the decline in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro.

The 20 most valuable clubs:

1. Manchester United ($4.12bn)
2. Real Madrid ($4.08bn)
3. Barcelona ($4.06bn)
4. Bayern Munich ($3.06bn)
5. Manchester City ($2.47bn)
6. Arsenal ($2.23bn)
7. Chelsea ($2.06bn)
8. Liverpool ($1.94bn)
9. Juventus ($1.47bn)
10. Tottenham Hotspur ($1.23bn)
11. Paris Saint-Germain ($971m)
12. Borussia Dortmund ($901m)
13. Atletico Madrid ($848m)
14. West Ham United ($754m)
15. Schalke ($707m)
16. Roma ($618m)
17. AC Milan ($612m)
18. Inter Milan ($606m)
19. Leicester City ($500m)
20. Napoli ($471m)

A review of Apple’s OS – High Sierra from the point of view of an end user or developer. It looks much like Gnome Shell and one cannot specifically accuse Linux or Apple developers as to who was first to come up with a sleek interface for the Desktop environment.

macOS High Sierra introduces new core technologies that improve the most important functions of your Mac. From rearchitecting how it stores your data to improving the efficiency of video streaming to unleashing the full power of your graphics processor, it’s all central to today’s Mac experience.

Here are some key features we got from Apple’s Website
Metal 2. A graphics game changer.

Today’s Mac experience relies more than ever on the graphics processor (GPU) in your computer. And GPUs are becoming more and more powerful. Metal is a technology built into macOS that allows apps to unleash the full power of the GPU. Now Metal 2 not only takes the visual experience to the next level, but also adds capabilities like machine learning, virtual reality, and external GPU support for entertainment and professional creative apps. Whether you play games, create content, or develop software, Metal 2 provides the power to bring your imagination to life.
HEVC. The new standard for video.

With the rising popularity of 4K video, a new industry standard arrives on Mac — HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, also known as H.265).1 It can compress video up to 40 percent more than H.264, the current standard for video compression. Using HEVC, videos stream better and take up less space on your Mac, while preserving the same visual quality.2
Virtual reality for Mac.
It’s a whole new world.

macOS High Sierra lets developers create interactive virtual reality experiences on Mac for the first time, using the new iMac with Retina 5K display, the new iMac Pro coming in late 2017, or any supported Mac paired with an external GPU.3 With optimized support for Valve’s SteamVR and the HTC Vive VR headset, and content creation apps like Final Cut Pro X, Epic Unreal 4 Editor, and Unity Editor, developers have everything they need to create immersive new worlds for you to explore.

We will do a further review but these are some features which stands out for the new Apple OS.

As they entered, Trump attempted to injected some lightheartedness into the day’s extraordinary events, telling photographers capturing the moment: ‘Getting a good picture everybody? So we look nice and handsome and thin? Perfect.’

The camera then panned to Kim who listened to the translation – and his reaction about their weight was utterly priceless.

Whether the casual jibe was lost in translation or Kim just didn’t find it particularly funny, his stone-faced stare at the President was something that many will remember from the summit – as well as the hope for denuclearize.

But he added ‘our hostages’ are back home and testing, research and launches have stopped.

The optimistic summit was a remarkable change in dynamics from less than a year ago, when Trump was threatening ‘fire and fury’ against Kim, who in turn labelled the President a ‘mentally deranged US dotard’.

Lomba:
That's not true! Mikel is one of the key players we're relying upon in that squad.He wasn't in his best form yesterday,but I think every player has his day.It's a bit harsh to write him off now,it's Joel Obi and Ogenyi Onazi that spoilt our game.

The entire Midfield was terrible and i can exempt Onazi and Joel Obi for one bad game. Mikel has had several or a whole lot of terrible displays for the Eagles. He walks around the pitch. Onazi and Joel Obi didnt blend yes but in the second half, everyone paid their bills but Mikel.

For those who missed the game or need to review the goals i uploaded the video here. Mikel is a problem to the Nigerian Midfield and has little to offer even leadership quality is lacking in my opinion.

The Governor seems so confident saying a word not in conformity with the dictionary.

I think a lot of people seem to be taking this too far. As much as the word 'iberiberism' is not a dictionary word, it actually means something in igbo as i was made to figure out. 'Iberibe' means stupidity. The Governor just didn't describe the situation cleverly. I laugh anytime i watch this video below.

This is a sad day for Juventus fans and the end of an era for one of the world's best goal keepers. As Gianluigi Buffon announces that he’s leaving Juventus, Football Italia takes a look at the numbers behind his extraordinary career.

The goalkeeper refused to be drawn on whether he’ll hang up his gloves, indicating he’s had “some proposals and exciting challenges, both on the field and off it”.

A final decision will be made in the coming days, but we’ve taken this opportunity to look back on his extraordinary career so far.

Gigi has made more Serie A appearances than any other goalkeeper with 639, and is second only to Paolo Maldini overall [647].

A World Cup winner in 2006 with Fabio Capello in charge at Juventus and Marcelo Lipi the Italian Nazional Coach.

Buffon has played 655 times for Juventus since signing in 2001, keeping 300 clean sheets.

In total Buffon has played 875 club games, conceding 729 goals and keeping 383 clean sheets.

Gigi holds the Serie A clean sheet record, going 974 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal in 2015-16.

No-one has made more appearances for Italy than Buffon, with the goalkeeper winning a European record 176 caps so far.

Only Alessandro Del Piero has played more games for Juventus with 705, and no-one has played more minutes.

Buffon holds the record for Champions League appearances for Juventus with 115. His record of 124 in UEFA competition is shared with Del Piero.

Gigi has played over 1,000 professional games in his career.

No goalkeeper can match Buffon’s 12 awards for Serie A Goalkeeper of the Year.

Buffon has twice set the record for Serie A clean sheets, managing 21 in both 2011-12 and 2015-16.

Buffon holds the record for most Italy clean sheets [77], most clean sheets at the World Cup [six] and most penalties saved [five].

If the price is calculated in Euros, he remains the most expensive goalkeeper of all time, with Juve paying €52m to sign him back in 2001.

Gigi shares the record for most consecutive Scudetti, with Andrea Barzagli, Giorgio Chiellini, Stephan Lichtsteiner, and Claudio Marchisio after their seventh triumph in a row this season.

I sure hope so.

It's crazy to even think he needs to die when it's not his time yet. Suicide is suicide regardless.

A renowned 104-year-old Australian scientist died Thursday, ending his life in a medically assisted suicide at a Swiss clinic.

David Goodall, who is not terminally ill, happily sang a few bars of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at a news conference Wednesday on the eve of his assisted suicide in Basel. He told reporters that he was “happy to have the chance tomorrow to end it."

"At my age, and even at rather less than my age, one wants to be free to choose the death and when the death is the appropriate time,” Goodall said. “My abilities have been declining over the past year or two, and my eyesight for the past five or six years, and I no longer want to continue life."

Goodall, who wore a shirt that read “Ageing Disgracefully,” said he has considered using lethal injection, but that he’ll defer to doctors on the method.

Euthanasia is currently banned in Australia where the scientist lived, which prompted the scientist’s trek to Switzerland last week.

Swiss law currently allows assisted suicide for anyone who acknowledges in writing that they are taking their lives willingly — without being forced. The decades-old legislation that authorized the practice states that people who help others to die cannot do so for "selfish" reasons.

A sad story this is as a Nurse who had made her family, friends and country proud was impounded by U.S authorities a couple of hours ago.

Anthonia Nwaorie spent years saving up thousands of dollars to open a medical clinic in Nigeria, where she was born. Finally, last October, she walked down a jet bridge at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport to board the plane to get there.

The 59-year-old registered nurse had more than $37,000 in her carry-on bag and $4,000 in her purse. It was all cash, stowed in separate envelopes, some of it earmarked to help ill or aging family members. In her checked luggage she packed medical supplies and over-the-counter medication, which she planned to use to provide free basic care and checkups to anyone who needed it.

But she wouldn’t make it there. Just as she was about to board the flight to Nigeria, agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection stopped her.

“How many people are you carrying money for?” an agent asked her, she recalled in an interview with The Washington Post. “How many people are you traveling with?”

Before Nwaorie could even open her mouth, she said, the agent asked another question: “How long have you been in the United States?”

The questioning threw her off guard. She explained she had legally earned the money and she was alone. Nwaorie, who lives in Katy, Tex., became a U.S. citizen in 1994. She showed her passport, thinking perhaps they were questioning her legal status. The agents took her to a room to search her and her luggage anyway.

Then they seized all $41,377 dollars.

“It was like I was a criminal,” she said. “I felt so humiliated, so petrified, too. They were talking among themselves, saying how this is how people smuggle money out of the country. ‘This is how they do it.’”

More than six months later, Customs and Border Protection still has not given back her money.

This, despite the fact that the U.S. attorney’s office in the Southern District of Texas did not bring a civil asset forfeiture case against her or charge her with any crime. The infraction she committed was failing to declare the money to Customs before traveling. According to the agency’s website, “there is no limit on the amount of money that can be taken out” of the country, but if a traveler is carrying more than $10,000 in currency they must fill out a declaration, a rule she said she did not know existed.

The agency told her in April it would give back her money under one condition: that she give up her right to sue the federal government. It’s called a “hold-harmless agreement.” The condition, her attorney says, violates Nwaorie’s basic First Amendment rights to petition the government for grievances.

Nwaorie didn’t sign it, deciding to sue instead.

“This is just about as unconstitutional as it gets,” said Nwaorie’s attorney, Dan Alban of the Institute for Justice, which specializes in civil asset forfeiture. “They’re requiring her to trade her right to the property in exchange for giving up these other rights: Does she want her right to the property? Or does she want to give up her right to the First Amendment? They’re sending these agreements out to not just to Anthonia but, we think, hundreds or thousands of people every year.”

A spokeswoman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection declined to comment for this report, citing pending litigation, and would not answer general questions about CBP’s hold-harmless agreement policy.

CBP seizes property from people more than 120,000 times per year, according to the federal lawsuit, filed last week in a federal court in Houston. To get the property back, individuals have two options. They can argue for their property using CBP’s administrative process, in which case Alban said a hold-harmless agreement wouldn’t be unusual. Or they can go the route Nwaorie chose, leaving it to federal prosecutors to decide whether to pursue civil asset forfeiture within 90 days.

According to documents provided to The Post, prosecutors declined to pursue a case against Nwaorie. The lawsuit states that under the Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act, the government should have been required to “promptly release” Nwaorie’s $41,000 to her, no questions asked. Alban contends that forcing a person to agree not to sue the government — and to pay the government’s legal fees if CBP has to enforce the agreement in court — is an “unconstitutional condition.”

Alban said discovering how often this happens to people in the United States will be part of the lawsuit, as the data is not immediately available. The suit seeks class-action status to cover every person who has signed a hold-harmless agreement with CBP despite being freely entitled to their property under federal law. It seeks to void all of those agreements.

“This case highlights the abusiveness of civil asset forfeitures in general,” Alban said. “It’s just crazy: She’s not been charged with a crime. The entire situation was so weak and not worth pursuing that the U.S. attorney decided not to even try to forfeit her money. She’s been deprived of that money. She’s been unable to open her clinic. She’s been living a nightmare. This has really disrupted her life.”

Nwaorie has been traveling to Nigeria to provide free basic medical care to people in her home town, in the state of Imo, on an annual basis since 2014. She sets up a pop-up medical clinic in churches or community centers, where she provides basic care and over-the-counter medication such as ibuprofen and Tylenol for basic ailments. Trained as a midwife, she also examines all the pregnant women and lets them hear their babies’ heartbeats for the first time.

But after a while Nwaorie said she wanted to go bigger. She wanted the patients to have regular access to care with full-time doctors at a small, permanent clinic. This year, she said her father helped secure her a parcel of land. Before she was stopped by CBP, she intended to get a permit from the local government in Nigeria and begin purchasing materials for construction.

“This was my dream, that people cannot be sent away from a clinic or a hospital because they do not have money,” she said. “This is something that I want to do for humanity, myself and my God, so there is nothing I would want to do to go against the law of this land to get it done. If I had known I had to declare the money before traveling, I would have done that.”

Nwaorie ultimately traveled to Nigeria the month after CBP seized her money, paying for her trip on a credit card and setting up another week-long pop-up clinic. And she had to tell some family members that she didn’t have the money set aside for them.

She explained to her brother what happened. “He was surprised,” Nwaorie said. “He said, ‘What? Does that happen in America?’ ”

This is a viable lesson for Nigerians living abroad and we do not concede this to racism but be smart to save properly if living or relocating abroad.

Arsenal will be without age long manager Arsene Wenger next season and the hunt for a new coah is under way or might have been concluded. Here are four possible replacements if you ask me.

1. Massimio Allegri:
Allegri has long been admired by Arsenal's board and has done very well guiding Juventus to Seven consecutive Scudetto (Serie A League Titles), Four Coppa Italia and Two Champions League Finals and about three Quarter Final Appearances in the Champions League among other trophies. This is our number one candidate as he has been linked with Arsenal severally and he is yet to negotiate a contract extension.

2. Zeljko Buvac:
JURGEN KLOPP'S assistant manager who quit Liverpool Football club following a "bust-up" with another coach and seeing both party's 17-year relationship hit rock bottom career wise. There is no smoke without fire or heat so it wont be a very bizarre suggestion if the Bosnian Serb is on Arsenal's wanted list seeing that a Coach with a long history to loyalty is need ti build a new team for the gunners.

3. Luis Enrique Martínez García

(Spanish pronunciation: [lwis enˈrike]; born 8 May 1970), known as Luis Enrique, is a Spanish former professional footballer, is currently out of job as a manager.

A versatile player with a good coaching technique; he was capable of playing in several different positions, but usually played as a midfielder or as a forward, and was also noted for his temperament and stamina. Starting in 1991 and ending in 2004, he represented both Real Madrid and Barcelona with equal individual and team success, appearing in more than 500 official games and scoring more than 100 goals. He appeared with the Spain national team in three World Cups and one European Championship.

Luis Enrique started working as a manager in 2008 with Barcelona B and, three years later, moved to Roma. In the 2013–14 season he managed Celta, before returning to Barcelona and winning the treble in his first year and the double in his second. Arsenal will need his services and rumor has it that he has been contacted with one of his demands being bringing Lius Suarez to the Emirates with him.

4. Carlo Ancelotti

(Italian pronunciation: [ˈkarlo antʃeˈlɔtti]; born 10 June 1959) is an Italian former footballer and as a manager, he is currently available for the Arsenal Job. He managed German club Bayern Munich not too long ago. Ancelotti is the only manager to have won the UEFA Champions League three times and reached four finals (three finals and two victories with Milan, and one victory with Real Madrid). He also won the FIFA Club World Cup twice, managing Milan and Real Madrid. Ancelotti is regarded as one of the best and most successful managers of all time.

Nicknamed Carletto, Ancelotti played as a midfielder and began his career with Italian club Parma, helping the club to Serie B promotion in 1979. He moved to Roma the following season, where he won a Serie A title and four Coppa Italia titles, and also played for the late 1980s Milan team, with which he won two league titles and two European Cups, among other titles. At international level he played for the Italian national team on 26 occasions, scoring once, and appeared in two FIFA World Cups, finishing in third-place in the 1990 edition of the tournament, as well as UEFA Euro 1988, where he helped his nation to reach the semi-finals.

As a manager, he has worked for Reggiana, Parma, Juventus, Milan, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, and has won domestic titles in Italy, England, France, and Germany.

During the Biafran-Nigerian civil war, there were a few Biafran sons and daughters, who were deceived by the Hausa-controlled Nigerian government and used to fight their fellow Biafrans. Some of them were made to believe that Biafra was dominated by Igbos, who would commandeer all the resources. Isaac Adaka Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa were among the prominent sons who were misguided. They paid dearly for their betrayal of the Biafran Republic with their lives. And for more than fifty years, their kith and kin have suffered the nemesis of the errors of these sons who were misled and betrayed by the Hausas and their Yoruba friends.
Isaac Boro was killed at the peak of the war in controversial circumstances that strongly linked Colonel Benjamin Adenkule to the death, while Ken Saro Wiwa was eventually killed by Sani Abacha, who worked with him during the war, at Bonny. The stories of Isaac Adaka Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa are great lessons for contemporary and potential betrayals of the renewed movement for the restoration of Biafran Republic.
Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro, from Kaiama (in present day Bayelsa State), was born in September 10, 1938 in Oloibiri.
Isaac Boro, while studying Chemistry at University of Nigeria Nsukka became the Student Union President of the University. Despite this support and political patronage he got from his Igbo brothers at the university, Boro led the first revolution of resource control in Nigeria few months after Aguiyi Ironsi became the Head of State of Nigeria.
He formed the Niger Delta Volunteer Force (NDVF), the first armed militia of only Ijaw extraction. On February 23, 1966, Boro and his NDVF declared the Niger Delta Republic. This was the first time any part of Nigeria tried to secede. He believed that the Ijaw people deserved a fairer share of proceeds of the oil wealth than they were getting from the Federal Government.
For twelve days Boro and his militias battled the Federal forces before they were finally defeated by the far superior Federal firepower. Isaac Boro and some of his men were convicted of treason and sentenced to death, but Ironsi out of mercy decided to jail him instead of killing him as demanded by the law.
Isaac Boro Revolution
Isaac Boro Revolution
On the eve of the Biafran-Nigerian war in May 1967, Yakubu Gowon granted him amnesty and drafted him into the Nigerian Army. He was afterwards commissioned as a major in the Nigerian Army. With his army of 1000 Ijaw soldiers he fought alongside Col. Benjamin Adekunle, who was heading the 3rd Marine Commando Division of the Nigerian army. With their deep knowledge of the Niger Delta creeks, Boro and his men guided the federal forces and pushed Biafrans back from the region. Boro fought with the Nigerian forces thinking as they had promised him he was liberating the Niger Delta from Biafran forces. He however never realised he was handing his people and the huge resources in the region into the hands of Hausa-Fulani and Yorubas who pillaged the region for years to come and impoverished his people till date.
Isaac Boro was betrayed by the Nigerian forces he trusted. On May 16, 1968, after a successful battle against Biafran forces at Ogu (near Okrika) in Rivers State, Boro was ambushed by what many of his men then believed was a unit sent by Col Adekunle. In a brief and fierce battle, Adenkunle’s men gunned him down. His death went down in history as mysterious and as there was no conclusive evidence on who killed him.
Strong allegations are rife that treacherous, Adekunle, threatened by Boro’s rising prominence in the Nigerian Army, killed Boro in order to usurp the glories of the success Boro helped the 3 Marine Commando Division to achieve. He wanted to silence Boro as well silence the people of Niger Delta. Subsequent to Boro’s death, Adekunle took all the credits of the successes of the division.
A Regimental Sergeant Major under Boro was quoted as saying that Boro did not die in the heat of battle with the Biafran forces. He said the area had already been captured and secured by his company and Major Boro was on an inspection tour when they came under fire. The type of gunfire that erupted during the firefight that killed Boro was completely different from what the Biafrans were known to use in that sector of the war. This confirmed to them that it was one of the federal troops units that carried out the ambush.
As soon as Boro died, his 1000 band of soldiers was disbanded. According to Olusegun Obasanjo in his book My Command, Adekunle’s post-war political ambition pushed him into killing Boro, as he was using the war to building a ‘formidable’ name for himself. Obasanjo stated that “Col. Adekunle, at this point saw the war not only in terms of crushing a rebellion, but also as a means of building himself up for any future political position or responsibility which he might wish to seek, I knew of people of Western State origin who had felt politically victimized and who saw in Col. Adekunle a saviour and told him so, and he believed them.”
What Boro fought and died for had eluded his people for years. Niger Delta has remained impoverished despite the huge revenue it has continued to generate for the country. Oil fields and mining leases have been allocated to northern oligarchs and friends. Isaac Boro remains a lesson for future revolutionaries in knowing where to pitch their tent.

Fedora now features a curated set of third-party software repositories, containing software not traditionally available Fedora, like Google Chrome and Steam. By default, Fedora only includes free and open source software. However, with the introduction of these curated third-party repositories, users can opt-in to enabling selected extra sources. Some software in these optional sources is proprietary, and may have restrictions, including access to the source code. Read on for more information on how this works.

This brand new feature is part of the upcoming Fedora 28 release. However, recent updates to Fedora 27 provide changes to easily enable these repositories as well. Some of the third-party sources contain software that can only be installed on Fedora 28.

The FIFA World Cup is around the corner and virtually every nation has their jersey ready. Nike recently launched Nigeria's Super Eagles kit and Brazil's 2018 World Cup kit appears to have been leaked ahead of this summer's global tournament - and, if believed, they've followed the likes of England, Peru and Argentina and gone full retro.

Tite's side have ditched the brighter yellow used in recent times for a slightly darker shade of the color. And according to Footy Headlines, the strip will be released in March.


Known as 'Midwest Gold', the new jersey appears to be a tribute to the side's 1980's kit - which the likes of Socrates proudly wore.

The shirt still has its familiar green trimmings, and of course the famous Brazil badge flush with its five stars.

Being a Nike shirt, it follows the same template used for England's new shirt.

But it's not just Nike who are going retro with their kits, Umbro and adidas have followed suit - Argentina and Peru both being examples of this.

Please note: these images are leaked so we had to get it from a third party so not very clear and subject to being changed by Nike as it has been leaked.
