Sports / Mourinho Confirms Three Manchester United Players To Miss Newcastle Clash by infonews3: 11:04am On Oct 05, 2018
Manchester United boss, Jose Mourinho, has confirmed that defender, Marcos Rojo, midfielder, Ander Herrera and forward, Jesse Lingard will not play against Newcastle United on Saturday in the Premier League.
Rojo is yet to feature in the United first team this season after picking up an injury while away with Argentina at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in the summer. He suffered a minor setback after making his return with the U23 earlier this month.
Lingard missed United’s goalless draw with Valencia in the Champions League on Tuesday with a minor injury, while Hererra is also injured.
Asked whether the trio could return against Newcastle, Mourinho said on Friday morning as quoted by Metro UK: “No, it’s exactly the same [squad].
“No new injuries and the players who were injured [are still out] with the possibility of Ashley Young coming back… but his problem was really minor.”
He added, “[We have had] recovering time for the players that played against Valencia and good work for the others that obviously were in perfect condition to train,”.
“Today [Friday], the third day [since the Valencia game] is the first day we have all of the players together and three days in between matches is more than enough time to have the players ready for the weekend match.”

Celebrities / Nollywood Actress, Ireti Doyle Speaks On Davido’s Active Involvement In Politics by infonews3: 10:51am On Sep 25, 2018
Nollywood actress, Iretiola Doyle has spoken on Davido’s active involvement in the politics of Osun state in the past few weeks. Davido, whose uncle is the standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the yet to be concluded governorship election in the state, has been a strong youth mobiliser for the opposition party.
However, Mrs Doyle said if Nigerians had demonstrated a similar passion and fervour in politics as Davido, the nation would have escaped the political and socio-economic doldrums it has found itself in present times.
She went further to urge Nigerians to get their PVC and aggressively support the candidate of their choice during the 2019 elections.
Sharing a photo of Davido on Instagram, the actress wrote on her Instagram handle: “Who he’s campaigning for and why is immaterial and beside the point.
“The way I see it, if a quarter of us got involved and pursued our political preferences with as much passion, single-mindedness, loyalty, doggedness and “we die here” fervour that @davidoofficial has displayed and sustained over the last several days, it’s safe to say that the last 2 decades probably wouldn’t have gone down the way they have and we probably wouldn’t be in the current socio-political situation we are in.

Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Cross River State, Ntufam Edim Inok, has disclosed that only the state governor, Prof Ben Ayade that can reverse the issue of automatic ticket in the state.
Speaking on the issue at the PDP Secretariat, Inok revealed that instructions from the national secretariat had revealed that only the state governor would direct before any action can be further carried out.
“We actually had a meeting with our National Vice Chairman, South to clear the air on the pronouncement concerning the automatic tickets, which brought disaffection among party members
“The pronouncement will come directly from the leader of the party (Prof Ben Ayade) and when he is back, we would appeal to him to make another Town Hall Meeting for all the caucuses.
“Unfortunately, the governor is not in town; so what he actually wanted to inform the aggrieved people could have come from the mouth of the governor directly.
“But the information has not been given because it has to come from the governor himself. Then governor is not in town.
“We are threatened by defection; all we are saying is that the right thing should be done. Anybody can decide to defect but finally it boils down to the will of the people, it will be determined by what the people (caucuses) want,” Inok said.

Crime / Policewoman On The Run After Stabbing Husband Multiple Times by infonews3: 3:25pm On Sep 17, 2018
According to a neighbour, who spoke to Vanguard, the couple had a misunderstanding, Saturday morning, and the husband left the house to avoid more issues.

However, Folake warned him not to return home, but since Taiwo had nowhere else to sleep, he returned home late Saturday night, thinking that his wife would have calmed down, only for Folake to start stabbing him.

But for the timely intervention of neighbours, the source said, she would have killed him, as he was lying motionless at the time he was rescued.

It was learned that Folake has since fled, while Taiwo continues battling for survival at the hospital he was rushed to.

When Vanguard contacted the spokesperson, Lagos State Police Command, CSP Chile Oti, he promised to get back, which he had not done at press time.

Sports / I Already Sit Where Messi And Cristiano Are' - Atletico's Griezmann by infonews3: 11:00am On Sep 17, 2018
After being left off the shortlist for The Best FIFA award, the Frenchman insists he is still hoping to win the 2018 Ballon d'Or
Antoine Griezmann claimed he is on the same level as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as he set his sights on winning the Ballon d'Or, despite admitting he can make improvements to his game.
The World Cup-winning France forward missed out on the three-man shortlist for FIFA's The Best award, the winner of which will be announced on September 24, but he is nevertheless feeling confident of his chances of being named the world's best player later in the year.
In contrast to FIFA's prize, the Ballon d'Or winner is determined by votes from journalists, and Griezmann described the prize as more prestigious.
"I think the Ballon d'Or has more prestige and history," he told AS. "There's three months left to give everything.
"It is clear that I am a different player than Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar or [Kylian] Mbappe. I'm at the top but I can improve. "I seek to be as complete as possible. I'm not going to score 50 goals, but I'm looking to help offensively and work for the team. "I think I already sit where Messi and Cristiano are. And I know other players are going to come for sure.
"I want to improve, I want to win and I want to continue like this, playing in this way."
Griezmann was heavily linked with a move to Barcelona during the summer transfer window, but he explained that his decision to turn down a move to Camp Nou was in part a tribute to his team-mates and head coach Diego Simeone.
"Saying no to Barcelona gives greatness to Atletico, Cholo [Simeone], my team-mates," he said. "I trust them and we contribute to each other a lot. "I stay where they give me more love. If it was for money, I would have gone to China.
"It was a very important decision for my future. You do not only look at one year, you do it thinking about four or five. It wasn't as easy as choosing a candy."
Atletico's disappointing start to the new La Liga season continued on Saturday as they drew 1-1 with Eibar, with AS Monaco up next for Simeone's men in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Politics / Femi Fani-Kayode Reacts To Yusuf Bichi Magaji's Appointment As New DSS DG by infonews3: 3:07pm On Sep 14, 2018
Femi Fani-Kayode, former Minister of Aviation has queried President Muhammadu Buhari’s latest appointment of new Director-General of Department of State Security, DSS.

Buhari in a statement by his Spokesman, Garba Shehu appointed Yusuf Magaji Bichi as the new Director General of the DSS.

Magaji replaces Matthew Seiyeifa, who has been operating in an acting capacity since Lawal Daura was dismissed.

Reacting to the news, Fani-Kayode in a tweet said the appointment of Yusuf Magaji as the new DSS DG confirms Buhari’s Islamisation agenda. According to him, the appointment shows that Buhari cannot trust any southerner or Christian to hold any sensitive positions. He wrote: “I congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari for proving me right once again by appointing yet another northern Muslim to head the DSS and for refusing to appoint a Southerner and a Christian.

“For the last 3 years every single security and intelligence agency in our nation and every branch of our Armed Forces apart from the Navy has been headed by a northern Muslim.

“As far as Buhari is concerned no southerner and no Christian is competent enough or can be trusted enough to hold any of those critical and sensitive positions. “Since 2015 I have been warning Nigerians about this man’s agenda but they have refused to listen. Let us hope that now they know better and that their eyes will open before it is too late.

“Buhari’s fulanisation and Islamisation agenda is there for all to see. You either play the fool, pretend it does not exist and keep your mouth shut or you play the man, recognise it for what it is and resist it.”

A 106-year-old retired teacher, who narrowly survived the collapse of St. Paul’s Catholic Church at Adagbrassa-Ugolo Ugolo Community in Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State, Pa Michael Ikube, on Friday appealed to the Delta State Government not to abandon those injured from the incident.

In a chat with DAILY POST at the General Hospital were he is currently receiving medical treatment at Orerokpe community, Ikube called on the government to do everything humanly possible to settle his hospital bill as well as that of other injured victims.

He complained of serious pains all over his body as a result of injuries he sustained from the incident.

Narrating how the incident happened from his hospital bed, Ikugbe said they were singing praise and worship awaiting the arrival of the presiding priest when they suddenly heard a loud sound which resulted to the building collapsing on them.

According to Ikube, “Everywhere was dark. The only thing I remembered was that some people carried me from the debris and I saw myself at the hospital bed.”

While thanking God for sparing his life, he also commended the Delta State Governor, Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa for his quick intervention by sending a delegation of his Commissioner for Special Duties, Barr. Ernest Ogwezzy to the site to obtain first-hand information.

Another survivor of the incident, Mr. David Ugbotu, Secretary of the Church, who also spoke from his hospital bed on behalf of other victims, appealed to the Delta State Government as well as the Catholic Diocese of Warri to quickly come to their rescue and help rebuild the church.

Ugbotu said that if this does not happen, they will have nowhere to worship, stressing that the community does not have funds to rebuild the church for them.

Meanwhile, the minority leader of the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Julius Okpoko and Comrade William Eyare have sympathized with the victims as well as the bereaved family of the collapsed church.

The duo described the incident as unfortunate and called for a full-scale investigation so as to find out the actual cause, with the view of preventing a recurrence.

They prayed God to grant the victims speedy recovery and condoled with the parish priest as well as parishioners of St.Paul’s Catholic Church Adagbrsssa Ugolo-Okpe over the death of Master Jeffrey Enukanerhire who lost his life in the unfortunate incident and prayed God to grant his soul eternal rest.

They also called on well-meaning individuals to assist in rebuilding the collapsed church, and urged the church to immortalise the name of the dead parishioner.

Nairaland / General / Anglican Primate, Okoh Explains Why Homosexuality Has Taken Over Nigeria by infonews3: 11:19am On Sep 04, 2018
Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, the Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, says homosexuality is “veritably poisoning” the Nigerian society.

Okoh told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja that the unlawful act was being fed by “disintegration of social values and cultures.’’

The cleric blamed the development on the influence of western culture facilitated by the internet and satellite broadcasting.

“Homosexuality hinders the progress of a nation and such ungodly images should never be shown in Nigeria.

“It is pertinent to note that the advent of satellite broadcasting has continued to pose a serious challenge to our traditional cultures, religious values and our identity as a people.


https://infonewsnigeria.com/discussion/4069/anglican-primate-okoh-explains-why-homosexuality-has-taken-over-nigeria?new=1

“Our youths are now being deceived by the international media with values that are at variance with our culture and the teachings of our religion.

“What is happening in the Nigerian society is a result of international influence and urbanisation.

“As people move from villages to the cities, they are detached from their ancestral authority, parents, chiefs and others.

“Anti-social behaviours that used to be tackled are no longer tackled all because of modernisation; essentially, people are destroying themselves,” he said.

Homosexuality was outlawed during the administration of former President, Goodluck Jonathan through the Same-Sex Marriage Prohibition Act (SSMPA) of 2014.

Sports / Juventus & Milan Considering Shock Bonucci-higuain Swap Deal by infonews3: 3:16pm On Jul 24, 2018
Juventus and AC Milan have opened preliminary discussions over a possible swap deal involving Leonardo Bonucci and Gonzalo Higuain.
Juve are seriously considering bringing back the 31-year-old defender, with Bonucci having left the Serie A champions just one year ago amidst claims that he had fallen out with coach Max Allegri.
Higuain, who is likely to be moved on following Juventus's stunning signing of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, could head in the other direction, initial talks between both clubs have taken place.
New Milan general manager Leonardo and Juve CEO Beppe Marotta were in conversation over the incredible swap deal on Monday, although discussions are still at an early stage.
Juve have, however, sounded out Bonucci's agent Alessandro Lucci, who has given positive feedback over the likelihood that the centre-back would be interested in a return to Turin.
Reports have suggested that the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United are also interested in Bonucci, who made 51 appearances in all competitions for Milan in the 2017-18 campaign.
Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso, meanwhile, is hopeful that the club will be able to keep hold of Bonucci, although accepts that if the player asks to leave, it will be difficult to convince him to stay.
He told reporters: "His future? I do not know. I talked to him. Leo had a confrontation with me, but I'm not the club. He must talk to the managers, but as long as he wears the Milan shirt, I want to see the Bonucci of these first 12 days.
"He's a great professional and always the first to lead the group. I hope he can stay, he is a valuable player with a great mentality. When a player expresses a desire, the coach and those working in a group must do everything possible to persuade him to stay. "Agonistically, we must think about the pros and cons. If the player asks explicitly, we need to tackle the subject."
Higuain, meanwhile, appears destined to leave Juve, reporting that Massimiliano Allegri's side will prioritise the sale of the Argentine following the arrival of Ronaldo.
