Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister Katia Aveiro launched a rant at Virgil van Dijk after the Liverpool defender’s joke about her brother at the Ballon D’Or 2019 ceremony.

Van Dijk finished second in the voting for this year’s Ballon d’Or, behind winner Lionel Messi but ahead of third-placed Juventus star Ronaldo.

Ronaldo snubbed the ceremony, and when a reporter put it to Van Dijk before the award was announced that that meant he had one less rival to worry about, the Dutch centre-half joked: “Was Cristiano really a rival?”

Ronaldo’s sister has reacted angrily to the quip, with a lengthy Instagram post in response to Van Dijk in which she points to her brother’s far superior trophy record.

Aveiro’s post, translated from Portuguese read:

“Now, dear Virgil, where you are going, Cristiano Ronaldo has gone and has come a thousand times.

‘You see, my dear Virgil, that Cristiano Ronaldo was a tri-champion in the country where you have been playing for years and you still haven’t got your hand in the can.

“Cristiano Ronaldo was even the best player and best scorer in the country where you play Virgil. By the way, I was even younger than you.

“Then, dear Virgil, Cristiano Ronaldo went to other places and became the greatest player in the history of a clubezito.

” Real Madrid , tell you something Virgil? Maybe so, because this club, with this Cristiano guy, even beat you in the Champions League final. Of these, Ronaldo already has five, Virgil.

“And that fellow Ronaldo and team-mates, with the corners on his chest, crushed your ‘orange’ in a final. Was it hard, Virgil? We have pity.

“And, dear Virgil, In one of the least successful times of his career, Cristiano Ronaldo has won even more titles than you.
Awesome, isn’t it?

“Now Virgil will win titles from those who really count andvthen we’ll talk. When you have a handful of them, the really important ones, you might be able to sit at the table with Cristiano.

“It’s for me Cristiano you are and you will always be the best player in the world !!!”

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday mistakenly called the All Progressives Congress gubernatorial candidate, Great Ogboru APC presidential candidate.

Buhari who repeatedly called Ogboru, the party’s presidential and senatorial candidate was corrected by an APC chieftain who flanked him while handing the party’s flag to Ogboru.
His words:
“I am handing over this flag of honour to our presidential candidate.”
A man on the stage to his left corrected him, saying “gubernatorial”, but Buhari responded with “to our senatorial candidate”. Again, the man corrected him, saying “gubernatorial” and this time, Buhari said “governortorial candidate”.
However, reacting over the alleged statement, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in a statement tagged “APC Warri Rally:
Buhari Has Foreseen His Defeat – PDP”, poked fun at the incident, noting that Buhari has no intention of vying for the second term but was coerced by the cabal in his Presidency.
The party said Buhari has long foreseen and accepted his defeat come 16th February 2019.

Manchester United have offered David De Gea a £400,000 per week pay to make him the highest earning footballer in the history of the English Premier League.

The amount was offered to the Spanish International to ward off interest from La Liga Giants Real Madrid.

The new deal includes bonuses which will make the 28-year old commit his future to the club.
If De Gea agrees to the deal, he will be surpassing the League’s highest earner at present which is Manchester United striker, Alexis Sanchez with his £350,000-a-week deal.

De Gea was highly impressive during United’s 1-0 victory at Wembley against Tottenham last Sunday. The game saw the club record its 6th straight win under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

.
.
The two security guards denied the allegation but they were handed over to the police by the clergy. One of the suspects, Ogundana, claimed that he was sick throughout the night battling with ulcer.
.
.
But the other suspect, Linus, said there was no strange movement in the church premises and the vicarage in the night. “The only strange thing I noticed during the night was the barking of the dog.
.
.
I moved to the place but there was no strange movement. I was surprised when I was called about the development because I have no business with pants or underwear,” Linus said.
.
.
Femi Joseph, Police Public Relations Officer, said the command had commenced investigation into the matter. Joseph added that the two suspects would remain in police custody.

Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi has stated that the goal he scored against Albacete is his favourite goal in his career.
Messi scored the goal from an assist done by Ronaldinho at the Camp Nou in 2005. Since then he has gone ahead to be crowned five times Ballon D’or winner.

“The first against Albacete from the pass of Ronnie [Ronaldinho], I will never forget, it’s my favourite,” Messi told Mundo Deportivo on Wednesday.
“The goals of the Clasicos are always special and against hard opponents that are usually Atletico Madrid, Valencia and Sevilla. Also those that I have had the luck to score in front of our fans. In Camp Nou they are always nice.

“In the end, the most important goals are not the most spectacular, but those that serve us as a team to win.”

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, has said that if elected president, he would appoint a minister of youth who will not be more than 30 years old.

The PDP presidential flag-bearer made the pledge at a Town Hall meeting with youth in Lagos on Monday.

According to him, it is incumbent on the present crop of leaders in Nigeria to mentor the younger generation and the best way to achieve that objective is to appoint youth who are brilliant into top government positions and allow them to learn the ropes.

“I have pledged that 40 percent of my government will be youth. Let me assure you that it’s a promise and I won’t break it. My minister of youth is going to be less than 30 years.”

The former vice president further remarked during the question and answer session at the event that if elected as president he would give top priority to education investment, saying that “President Buhari has confessed that the economy is in bad shape under his watch and it is clear that the President is short of ideas about how to fix the broken economy. There is no single economist in his administration and that is why we are in this mess.

“I know how to fix a broken economy. I know how to create jobs and I also know how to empower the youth. That’s the reason I’m here today – to give hope to you the youth that together we can get Nigeria working again,” he said.

Also speaking at the event, the national chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus, extolled the Nigeria youth for their resilience despite all “chastisement and uncooperative attitude from the incumbent government”.

“All you have to do is to vote for Atiku as president but be very assured that under the Atiku administration, every Nigerian will be accommodated and included,” he said.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on December 17, 2018, arraigned a former Chairman, Board of Directors, Skye Bank Plc, Tunde Ayeni, before Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court, Abuja on an eight-count charge, bordering on money laundering to the tune of about N8 billion.

Mr Ayeni was arraigned alongside Timothy Oguntayo, for allegedly conspiring at different times to fraudulently divert depositors’ funds domiciled at Skye Bank Plc.

After the arraignment, the judge, in a dramatic twist, granted the defendants 36 hours freedom, to meet the bail conditions or be remanded in Kuje prison. They were asked to go home.

One of the counts reads: “That you Dr. Tunde Ayeni whilst being the Chairman Board of Directors of Skye Bank Plc and Timothy Ajani Oguntayo whilst being the Managing Director and Chief Executive of Skye Bank between the years 2014 and 2015 conspired at different times to do an illegal act, to wit; caused cash delivery to you, Dr. Tunde Ayeni of the sums of money totalling N4,750,000,000 (Four Billion, Seven Hundred and Fifty Million Naira) and USD5,000,000 (Five Million United States Dollars) belonging to Skye Bank Plc, contrary to the provisions of Section 1(a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 (as amended) read together with Section 18 (a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 (as amended) and punishable under Section 16(2) (b) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 (as amended)”.

They pleaded “not guilty” to all the counts.

In view of their pleas, prosecuting counsel, Abba Mohammed, prayed the court for a trial date and prayed that the defendants be remanded in prison custody, pending the hearing of their bail applications.

Before the court’s ruling, counsel for the first defendant, Dele Adesina, who held appeared for the lead counsel, Wole Olanipekun, informed the court of their pending bail application, which was served on the prosecution on December 13. Counsel for the second defendant, Oyetola Oshobi, made a similar application.

Ruling on the applications for bail, the court admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N50 million with two sureties each in like sum.

The court further ruled: “The sureties may be either civil servants of not less than the rank of assistant director or be private businessmen or professionals provided that one of the sureties is a civil servant, the other surety being a private businessman or a professional must be the owner of a landed property of sufficient value within Abuja metropolis, excluding the satellite towns,” the trial judge held.

Justice Dimgba added that: “But where the two sureties are private businessmen or professionals, they must show evidence of landed properties of sufficient value within Abuja metropolis excluding the satellite towns.

“The defendants shall deposit their international passports before the court and shall not travel outside the country without the permission of the court”.

The court further gave the defendants 36 hours to meet the bail conditions or be remanded in Kuje prison.

The matter was thereafter adjourned to February 13 and 14, 2019, for “commencement of trial”.

While addressing journalists, the minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige, said the meeting has been adjourned to December 17.

Mr Ngige said the federal government is taking all necessary steps to address ASUU’s demands.

Mr Ngige had earlier appealed to the striking lecturers to ensure that Monday’s dialogue yields results that will lead to ending the strike.

”The strike is five weeks old today and it is not in anybody’s interest. We will ensure the needful is done,” he said.

Meanwhile, the ASUU chairman, Biodun Ogunyemi, said the union will await the next adjournment date to see how far the federal government will deliver on its promises before it will take a decision on whether to suspend the industrial action.

The union embarked on the strike on November 4 over the poor funding of Nigerian universities and non-implementation of previous agreements by the government.
