akagson:
That means bank charges is N1550?

Yes

akagson:
On Uniben website, they stated that the application form is N2,000 but when I've reached the payment page where I'm to enter card details, I'm seeing N3,550.
Can anybody confirm that? Why would Uniben write N2000 when the actual charge is N3550.
Isn't this unfair and exploiting?

I too saw the same thing but i just had to pay....but if you look well they said "it was excluding bank charges" so by the time u add the bank charge it would amount to 3550.

Hope I've helped

TEAM NEWS


Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has hinted that David de Gea is likely to start in goal.

Striker Alvaro Morata is fit after missing their warm-up match against Georgia with a thigh injury, while David Silva could win his 100th cap.

Czech Republic's Borek Dockal has been hampered by an ankle injury, but is expected to play.

Marek Suchy is suspended for the opener so Michal Kadlec or Roman Hubnik will replace him at centre-back.

MATCH PREVIEW


Spain lost their final warm-up match to Georgia - ranked 137 in the world - on Tuesday. Three days later goalkeeper David de Gea denied a claim reported in a Spanish newspaper that he organised a sex party with prostitutes for teammates in which a woman was made to take part against her will. Up until then, the two-time defending champions had been quietly approaching Euro 2016 under the radar.

Which is odd for a side that have not lost a match at a European Championship finals since 20th June 2004, and whose last defeat in a competitive fixture was back in October 2014.

Opponents Czech Republic also suffered a defeat in their final warm-up match. They lost 2-1 to a South Korea side that had been routed 6-1 just days earlier… by Spain. In fact, Pavel Vrba's side have won just one of their last six matches and have a real difficulty keeping clean sheets.

Spain's attackers must be licking their lips in anticipation of facing a side who failed to record a shut-out in qualifying, and conceded the most goals (14) of all the teams to make it to Euro 2016.

MATCH FACTS

Head-to-head

Spain are unbeaten in four games against the Czech Republic. The Czechs have scored only one goal in those four matched (netted by Jaroslav Plasil in March 2011).

Spain qualified for the 1998 World Cup at the Czechs' expense. The only goal in their two qualifiers was a penalty converted by Fernando Hierro.

The teams also met in Euro 2012 qualifying. David Villa scored twice for Spain in a 2-1 win in Granada, with Juan Mata and Xabi Alonso on target in their 2-0 away victory.

Spain won four of 12 encounters with the former Czechoslovakia (D1, L7). In competitive games, the Spanish won two and lost three of five meetings.

Spain

By winning Euro 2012 they became the first side to win back-to-back European titles.

Spain reached the final the last time the Euros were held in France in 1984, but lost 2-0 to the hosts.
Spain have only conceded one goal in their last nine games in the tournament, scored by Italy's Antonio di Natale on 10 June 2012.

Spain haven't conceded a single goal in their last 510 minutes at a European Championship finals, which is the longest run in the history of the tournament.

Czech Republic

The Czech Republic have qualified for every European Championship since independence.

They have won seven of their last 10 games in the group stage of European Championship finals.
The Czechs have also scored in each of their last 11 games in the group stage.

They won the competition as part of Czechoslovakia in 1976 and reached the final in their first appearance as the Czech Republic in 1996, losing to Germany.

The Czech Republic conceded 14 goals in the qualifying campaign, more than any other team who qualified for these finals.

Dimitri Payet's spectacular late winner gave hosts France victory over Romania in the opening match of Euro 2016 amid a huge security operation at the Stade de France.

On an emotional evening at the same venue where suicide bombers struck in the November attacks that killed 130 people across the city, Payet ensured the game ended on a high note with a sensational 30-yard strike.

France, who triumphed in their last two major tournaments on home soil - Euro '84 and the 1998 World Cup - are favourites to win this time too.
But after hitting the post early on through an Antoine Griezmann header, they struggled to find any fluency against a resolute Romania side, who also created good chances.

Relive France's opening game win over Romania
Les Bleus' star-studded attack had to wait until the 58th minute to make the breakthrough, when Olivier Giroud headed home Payet's cross.

Romania responded within seven minutes, with Bogdan Stancu scoring from the spot after Patrice Evra clipped Nicolae Stanciu inside the area.
A draw looked the most likely outcome until Payet capped a brilliant individual display with his wonder goal in the 89th minute.

The West Ham star apart, the hosts' performance was unconvincing but, for the whole of the France, the result mattered far more.

The perfect start for France:

A win was the perfect start to a month of football which, it is hoped, can help to bring together a fractured country that will remain under a state of emergency for the duration of the competition.
The scale of the police presence outside the Stade de France on Friday was obvious, with two separate checkpoints where fans were searched and tickets checked, but the day passed without any serious security incidents in Paris.

Inside the stadium, the mood was set by a colourful opening ceremony followed by a stirring rendition of 'La Marseillaise' before kick-off but the game itself was far less entertaining.

Payet proves he is a star performer:

Paul Pogba was billed as the star of this France team but it was Payet who was the outstanding performer against Romania.

This game will be remembered for his winning goal but he was also behind almost all of Frances's best moments going forward.

Before setting up Giroud's goal, he put chances on a plate for the Arsenal striker and Griezmann but both missed the target.

He made no such mistake himself but was overwhelmed with emotion soon afterwards, and was substituted in tears.

"At the start of the season, a lot of people would have found it hard to believe I would be here," said Payet after the game.

"I have got here by working hard. When I saw the stadium tonight I knew I was going to have fun."

Why did France's other players fail to shine?

Credit must go to Romania, who showed why they had the best defensive record in qualifying, but some France players were worryingly flat.

Pogba had a volley well saved by Ciprian Tatarusanu but failed to get his foot on the ball in midfield - and his side lacked a player who could dictate play from deep.

N'Golo Kante put in the kind of all-action display we are used to seeing from him for Leicester but, one swinging crossfield ball apart, did not open Romania up.

On top of the lack of balance in midfield, France were worryingly open at the back.

Their makeshift central defensive partnership of Adil Rami and Laurent Koscielny has played only two games together before this tournament and it showed.

Hugo Lloris rescued them with a brilliant early save from Stancu but better sides than Romania will be more ruthless in front of goal.

Man of the match - Dimitri Payet (France)

France manager Didier Deschamps said recently that "every time he touches the ball, something happens" and the West Ham star proved him right.

He was behind all of Les Bleus' best moments and looked like the only player capable of opening up Romania.

What they said:

Former France striker Thierry Henry on BBC Radio 5 live: "Dimitri Payet thought he was going to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. He was involved in every qualifying game but they took that away from him.
"Tonight you saw a man who was hurt. He was saying with that performance 'you didn't take me to the World Cup and I am going to show you'. He wanted every single ball. You can't win a game by yourself. but that strike... oh my gosh.

"No one is going to take what is happening to him now away from him. He showed tremendous desire. He was the one that drove the team forward."

The stats you need to know:

Romania have never won their opening game at a European Championship finals tournament (D3 L2).
Romania conceded the same number of goals in this match (2) as they did in their entire Euro 2016 qualification campaign (2).

Olivier Giroud has now scored eight goals in his last six starts for France.

There has now been a penalty given in three of the last four European Championship finals opening games (2004, 2012 & 2016), with all of them coming against the host nation.

Kingsley Coman became the youngest player to play for France in a major international tournament (aged 19 years 362 days).

Atletico Madrid striker Fernando Torres believes Saturday's Champions League final meeting with Real Madrid is the "most important" game of his life.

The Spaniard, 32, won the trophy with Chelsea in 2012 and has also won the World Cup and European Championships.

But since making his debut in 2001 and returning last year, Torres has never won a major trophy with Atletico.
"This is different, this is special," said Torres. "It's what I wanted when I was a kid, more than I dreamed."

"Without any doubt it's the most important, special and lovely game of my life," added Torres, whose Atleti loan deal and contract at parent club AC Milan expire at the end of the season.

"Anything I can do with the club that gave me the chance to start my career, the team I was a fan of since I was five years old, is different to anything else I've won."

Torres, who left the Vicente Calderon to join Liverpool in 2007, missed Atletico's spell of success from 2010 to 2014 where the club claimed two Europa League wins, the Spanish Cup and the La Liga title in 2014.

He has managed 12 goals for Diego Simeone's side this term as they finished third in La Liga and booked a place in what is a re-run of the 2014 Champions League final.

Fit and chasing his own record:

Before Real Madrid's 4-1 extra-time win in Lisbon in 2014 Los Blancos were sweating on the fitness of Cristiano Ronaldo while their city rivals lost talisman Diego Costa after nine minutes of the game.

There have been doubts over Ronaldo's fitness again this time around but he has declared himself fit as he chases a third Champions League success.

"Cristiano always appears in the games that matter," he told reporters. "I'll be at 100%. On Saturday, I'll be in better form than I was in Lisbon."

Ronaldo has scored 16 goals in this season's Champions League - as many as the entire Atletico Madrid squad - and could break his own record of 17 in a single campaign.

But despite finishing two points above Atletico in La Liga, Real's recent record against Simeone's side boasts just one win in six competitive meetings.

Simeone 'loves it':

Simeone has dragged Atletico into Europe's elite since his appointment in 2011.
Los Rojiblancos finished ninth in La Liga in the season before he arrived but have since placed fifth, third, first and third on two more occasions.

Resolute displays to eliminate Barcelona and Bayern Munich in reaching the final drew praise and the statistics back up the often well-documented organisation of Simeone's side.

They have conceded just seven goals in their run to the final and just two in their last nine games of the season.

"It's down to stability, balance, work, enormous competitiveness, internally and externally," said Simeone, 46. "That has put us where we are and the only way to keep that going is to keep winning."
But while they have closed the gap to Real domestically, Saturday's meeting in Milan's San Siro will see Atletico chase a first European Cup in their 113-year-history as Zidane's side seek their 11th.

"I love having 113 years of history on my shoulders, I love it," added Simeone.

'We are ready' - Zidane:

Zidane has suffered just two defeats in 26 matches since succeeding Rafael Benitez as manager in January - one of those came against Atleti.

Should he guide them to another title, Real would sit four clear of AC Milan in the list of clubs to have won Europe's most coveted trophy on the most occasions.
"I don't think it'll be a failure if we lose," said Zidane.

"Failure can come from a bad attitude and if we cannot replicate what we have done in the past that would be a failure, but it's a game of football.

"All I can say is we are very ready for the game, ready is the word."

At the end of regulation time, extra time and probably p.k's who do you vouch for to win the Uefa Champions League

Lille goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, has been named the best goalkeeper in Ligue 1.

The former Super Eagles captain, has kept 14 clean sheets in 31 appearances for his French club in the league this season and has also made 79 saves.

He wrote on Instagram: “From the depth of my heart,I want to say a very big thank you to God pour cette saison.

“My wife,kids,brothers/sister(family).Un grands merci a tout mes co equipiers, coaches, staff medical and derigents de mon equipe. le president, directors, co-ordinators, everyone that worked round the clock to making me become a better player and have a successful season, the amazing supporters/fans. Special mention is my goalie coach (Jean Pierre aka Mommote) Steeve Elana, Mike Maignan, Jean Butez.

“All the players from other clubs that nominated and voted me for this award. All the journalists and critics that set me on the right path. Thank you so much.hopefully on the day, your votes will be enough for me to get the real trophy and not just the nomination trophy. Thank you, I appreciate.”

Manchester United found a goal in 'Fergie time' to join Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final and Leicester overcame the loss of striker Jamie Vardy to go eight points clear at the top of the table once again.

Chelsea found their scoring touch and Manchester City thrashed Stoke, while Arsenal slipped up again in the race for the top four.

At the bottom, Sunderland and Newcastle both picked up points in the fight against the drop but Aston Villa were awful again.

Here are my selections for this week:

Goalkeeper - David de Gea (Manchester United)

I was watching the FA Cup semi-final with Brighton manager Chris Hughton, who turned to me and said: "He'll save this."

He was, of course, referring to David de Gea, who was about to thwart Romelu Lakaku from the penalty spot and break Everton fans' hearts. Hughton was predicting things that only a manager could possibly know in the very evenly-balanced cup tie and it was starting to irritate me. I wanted to ask him how Roberto Martinez would have been feeling, and can a manager actually do anything when his team have just missed a penalty?

I was glad I didn't because it would have been the wrong question. De Gea actually 'saved' both the penalty and Manchester United from another season of mediocrity. United's win almost guaranteed that Louis van Gaal will not have an ignominious exit from Old Trafford and tightened the noose around Martinez's neck. Who would have thought you could do all that with one save?
De Gea denies Lukaku from penalty spot.

Defender - Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City)

You always know when a team is going places when players don't want to be brought off the field at any price. That was the reaction of Pablo Zabaleta during Manchester City's win at Chelsea last week when Manuel Pellegrini substituted him after a clumsy tackle that could have seen the full-back shown a second yellow card. The referee gave Zabaleta the benefit of the doubt but Pellegrini refused to be so lenient and whisked the player off the park without a second's hesitation.

The manager knew that much more was at stake and he needed Zabaleta for a punishing schedule, involving two games against Real Madrid in the Champions League and some tough Premier League fixtures as City look ensure a top-four spot.

Pellegrini was right to do what he did. The full-back not only played against Stoke but also showed what an important asset he is when he brilliantly raided down the right and set up Kelechi Iheanacho for a tap-in. Sometimes players have to be saved from themselves.

Defender - John Mikel Obi (Chelsea)

I had to see this performance by John Mikel Obi at centre-back to believe it. Because of injuries to three prominent defenders, Mikel partnered Branislav Ivanovic at the heart of Chelsea's defence at Bournemouth and looked as if he had played there all his life. Apart from one moment when he went to ground and was lucky not to give away a penalty, the normally dependable defensive midfielder was outstanding.

Here is a player who has played under every Chelsea manager during the last 10 years, which says volumes. The relationship between Guus Hiddink and Mikel is evident, as the player has been ever-present since the Dutch manager returned to Stamford Bridge. The Nigeria captain must be an exceptional man to have survived the turbulence associated with the club - not to mention the turnover of playing staff.

Defender - Wes Morgan (Leicester)

Having comfortably beaten Swansea at the King Power Stadium, Leicester have moved closer to the Premier League title and experienced precisely what success tastes like when the team congregated at the PFA Awards in London.
Their captain will feel exceptionally proud of Riyad Mahrez, Jamie Vardy and N'Golo Kante, not to mention himself having had a marvellous season. Morgan's team will feel like champions right now. The important thing they must remember is: You haven't won the title yet!

Defender - Jeffrey Schlupp (Leicester)

Every team has a weakness but I'm still trying to work out precisely where Leicester City have their Achilles heel. Jamie Vardy was suspended against Swansea and they bring in Leonardo Ulloa - who scored twice. Then they leave out Marc Albrighton and bring in Jeffrey Schlupp, who did an outstanding job against a Swansea side who were patently out of their depth.

At this stage of the season, it's vital that Leicester hold their nerve - and that they can have confidence in whoever comes into the side. It helps when you're winning games but Schlupp was immensely impressive against the Swans and appears to part of something very special in this extraordinary team Ranieri has built.

Midfielder - N'Golo Kante (Leicester)

This was one game too far for Swansea. From the moment Ashley Williams made an uncharacteristic error, the Swans found it exceptionally difficult to lay a glove on Leicester. But as the goals rained in, it was that man N'Golo Kante who provided the energy and spirit for this emphatic Foxes win. If there has been one player who has brought an extraordinary work ethic and consistency to Leicester's season, it's been Kante.

Midfielder - Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea)

Bournemouth gave Cesc Fabregas the freedom of Dean Court, so they should not have expected anything other than complete and utter humiliation. Chelsea's midfield maestro picked Bournemouth apart with his piercing through balls. He set up Pedro for Chelsea's opener and then produced a masterful flick to set Eden Hazard free to net his first Premier League goal since last May. To add insult to injury, he sent Willian through with a glorious ball, which the winger finished.

Fabregas may be approaching the twilight of his career but so was Andrea Pirlo when Antonio Conte took over at Juventus - and the coach rejuvenated his career. Maybe the incoming Conte might do the same for Fabregas when the Italian arrives at Stamford Bridge next season? The thing is that Pirlo won the title the following year. No pressure then, Cesc...

Midfielder - Dusan Tadic (Southampton)

What on earth is going on at Aston Villa? Some of their players are clearly losing the plot. Jores Okore asks not to be considered for the remainder of the season, former captain Gabby Agbonlahor is suspended pending an internal investigation into his professional conduct -and that's just off the field. Meanwhile Leandro Bacuna's gift-wrapped back pass presented Southampton's Dusan Tadic with his first of two nicely taken goals.

However, what has proved even more interesting than Bacuna's lamentable performance against the Saints was the player insisting that he wants to play Champions League football next season. The question I would like to pose is, with who? Real Madrid or Bayern Munich?

Getting his agent to ring either club is a mere phone call but such delusions of grandeur will require far more imagination. Perhaps the agent could add Okore and Agbonlahor as part of the arrangement in order to sweeten the deal!

Forward - Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

Well, it's nice to see Eden Hazard has finally turned up this season. The lean, mean Belgium international looked a world away from the player I saw fail to perform against Paris St-Germain in the Champions League at Stamford Bridge. That evening he looked disinterested, out of form and out of shape.

Against Bournemouth, Hazard looked like the man Jose Mourinho said was the best young player in the world. The issue for Chelsea now is: Can they keep the wolves from the door and retain Hazard's services? Meanwhile Chelsea have Leicester and Spurs to play at the Bridge in games that will have a significant bearing on who wins the Premier League title.

By suggesting in his Match of the Day interview that Leicester are his preferred Premier League title winners rather than arch-rivals Tottenham, Hazard has set a wonderful stage for the end of the season. Let the games begin.

Forward - Anthony Martial (Manchester United)

Martial scores late Man Utd winner
At last, Louis van Gaal has taken the shackles off his players' feet and allowed them to play the sort of football in keeping with Manchester United's traditions. No one has benefited more than Anthony Martial, who probed and prodded his way into the dark recesses of Everton's back four, found a key, unlocked their door and robbed them of all their possessions.

To be perfectly honest, Everton had been warned. It was Martial who twisted John Stones inside out and laid on Marouane Fellaini's goal on the stroke of half-time before he produced another touch of magic and scored United's winner. Once the France international found himself face-to-face with Joel Robles in the Everton goal, there was only going to be one outcome.

This lad looked a bit special the moment he walked into Old Trafford last summer. In fact he looks as if he could be a Manchester United captain one day.

Striker - Kelechi Iheanacho (Manchester City)

If they don't get your results right in the early part of the season, then managers have to forego the luxury of resting certain players before big games. Such was the case against Stoke when Manchester City had little choice but to play their big names a few days before their Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

Sergio Aguero netted his 28th goal of the season and was immediately taken off and wrapped in cotton wool the moment the game had been put to bed. This left the young but brilliant Kelechi Iheanacho with the striking role all to himself and he took on the mantle with great aplomb. The Nigerian has made Wilfried Bony - who cost City £28m - look pedestrian in comparison. This is the sort of talent that incumbent Pep Guardiola will relish working with.
