Good thing that the IGP is doing all these before his retirement. At least he has contributed to the wellbeing of his state. Congratulations to him.

Ok, confusion everywhere.
These even tried by speaking out to be helped back home unlike some that will prefer to hide due to their egos thereby necessitating their entry into other crimes and tarnishing the image of the country.

Forming

The great Rangers International is 51 years today. It was formed on 29 th January 1970, just two weeks after the war.

Rangers Remains the only Football Club in Nigeria that has never been relegated since inception. The name has also been same since 1970.
Rangers conquered Nigeria just after a year and conquered Africa 4 years later in 1975. Nicknamed *The Flying Antelopes* by their agility and skillfulness in the football pitch, Rangers became the pride of Nigeria and Africa football in the 1970s and 1980s. This achievement earned them the *International* attached to the name.
Rangers represents *The Never Say Die* spirit of the Igbos and by extension Nigerians.
Congratulations to one of greatest football clubs in Africa.

Happy birth day to one of the greatest clubs of our time.
Below are pictures of those pioneer great warriors, the flying antelopes.

The UK government has given its support to a project to use oral contraceptives to control grey squirrel populations.

Environment minister Lord Goldsmith says the damage they and other invasive species do to the UK's woodlands costs the UK economy £1.8 billion a year.

The bizarre-sounding plan is to lure grey squirrels into feeding boxes only they can access with little pots containing hazelnut spread.

These would be spiked with an oral contraceptive.

Lord Goldsmith says the damage from squirrels also threatens the effectiveness of government efforts to tackle climate change by planting tens of thousands of acres of new woodlands.

On Tuesday, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) told BBC News: "We hope advances in science can safely help our nature to thrive, including through the humane control of invasive species."

A partnership of conservation and forestry organisations called the UK Squirrel Accord (UKSA) is behind the proposal.

Ok

It's the end of an era as later this year, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel will step down from her position after serving the country for 15 long years, and as one of the de-facto leaders of Europe, now her party has appointed a new leader.

Only a few leaders can boast of a track record that can match Angela Merkel's record. Severing as the german chancellor for 15 years and counting, she has worked with five British prime ministers, four French presidents, seven Italian prime ministers, and once Joe Biden takes oath, four American presidents.

Now, one of the world's most successful politicians is stepping down. She is keeping the promise she made in 2018.

Her party now has a new leader — Armin Laschet. He will lead the charge of the Christian democratic union in the September polls.

Merkel's exit from the Chancellor's office will be the end of an era as she was the first woman to take Germany's top job in 2005.

When Merkel rose to power, many had dismissed her as inexperienced and uncharismatic. However, during her 15-year reign, Merkel has proved herself time and again.

Merkel's achievements

Three years into office, Merkel faced her greatest challenge in form of the 2008 financial crisis that shook the entire Europe. However, not only did Merkel steer Germany during the meltdown, but she was at the heart of the response to the eurozone debt crisis — one that could have led to the economic collapse of Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain, and Cyprus.

Merkel held her own in front of adversaries, even when they tried to overpower or humiliate her. One famous instance of this is when Vladimir Putin brought a dog into a meeting with Merkel. It is quite popularly known that Merkel is afraid of dogs. However, the leader handled the situation with the utmost grace and confidence.

Hard days

Her last years in office, however, were upended by a refugee crisis. More than one million refugees arrived in Germany in 2015. Not only did Merkel welcome them, but she even convinced some European allies to accept some of them.

In 2018, she was elected for a record fourth term in office, but her party lost votes which forced Merkel to form a grand coalition to keep power. Realizing the end of the road is near, Merkel decided she will not run for a fifth term.

Her departure might trigger uncertainty as Germany hasn't been immune to the rise of the right. Parties like the alternative for Germany ate into the votes of established players in the last election.

The European Union remains a divided bloc, especially after the UK's exit from the EU. The coronavirus has also widened the differences, with authoritarian leaders in Hungary and Poland often rejecting the proposals laid out by their European partners.

So far, Merkel has managed to keep key allies together. However, both at home, and on the continent, the next leader of Germany has some big shoes to fill.

Ok, our values keep going down south daily.
Hard, patience, perseverance are becoming obsolete for the young ones.
