Former Southampton FC's Rickie Lambert is being acclaimed in England after converting his 32nd penalty in a row for the club – a better record even than club legend Matthew Le Tissier, credited as England's best ever penalty taker with 48 conversions from 49 attempts in his career. Lambert missed from the spot for some of his previous clubs, but the Liverpudlian has been brilliant since joining the Saints. "I'm not counting," said the 31-year-old, who spent four months putting lids on jars of beetroot to earn a living after being released by Blackpool FC aged 19 but recently scored on his England debut against Scotland. "I'm always confident taking a pen and hopefully that will continue." UEFA.com celebrates some ten more masters from the penalty spot, past and present. Matthew Le Tissier (England, 1986-2002) A hero for Southampton, 'Le God' was one of Xavi Hernández's childhood heroes, though more for his brilliantly nonchalant dribbling skills than his extraordinary record from the penalty spot. He famously missed just one penalty in a reported 49 career attempts, explaining his technique simply: "I stuck it in the corner, and if the keeper went the right way it was hard enough to beat him." Ivan Krstanović (Croatia, 2000-present) The GNK Dinamo Zagreb forward has by all accounts never missed a penalty in his career, assuring UEFA.com that "it's at least 30 goals". After scoring in a 1-1 UEFA Champions League draw against FC Dynamo Kyiv last season, he said: "Everyone keeps asking me to reveal my secret but, if I told everyone my technique it wouldn't be a secret any more, would it?" Davor Šuker (Croatia, 1984-2003) Another masterful Croatian penalty-taker, Davor Šuker definitely missed two penalties in his career but has lost count of how many he scored, with calmness crucial to his technique, as shown in the 1998 FIFA World Cup when he was asked to retake a penalty against Romania. "I took an extra second and I checked my pulse," he said. "I wasn't scared." He converted both efforts. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal, 2002-present) The striker hit a purple patch at Real Madrid CF, converting 24 in a row before missing in the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League semi- final shoot-out against FC Bayern München. "A player who takes a penalty is a player without fear," said his former coach José Mourinho, adding: "The best players, such as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, also fail. Football is like that – that's life." Hans-Joachim Abel (Germany, 1972-84) Lothar Matthäus missed three from 30, and Manfred Kaltz scored 53 out of 60, but Fortuna Düsseldorf, VfL Bochum 1848 and FC Schalke 04 striker Abel is statistically the Bundesliga's best, reportedly converting all 16 of his spot-kicks. "The most important thing is total concentration," he said. "You've got to block out everything else and if you do, the goalkeeper shouldn't have a chance." Dmitri Kirichenko (Russia, 1994-present) The striker began a run of 21 straight conversions at FC Rostselmash in 2000, maintaining it with PFC CSKA Moskva and FC Moskva before missing for the first time at the 22nd attempt for FC Saturn Moskovskaya Oblast in 2009. "That was annoying," reflected 36-year-old, whose record now stands at 26 goals from 27 attempts. "The goalkeeper was two or three metres off his line before I hit it." Ovidiu Herea (Romania, 2003-present) "Ever since I started my professional career, I have spent at least an hour after training practicing penalties," said Herea. However, the 27-year-old's record of 19 conversions from 19 for FC Național București and FC Rapid București might have ended last year when Răzvan Pleșca (his former Național team-mate) saved his effort against CS Gaz Metan Mediaș, only for the referee to order a retake – which the midfielder put away. David Villa (Spain, 1999-present) Deadly from the penalty spot with Real Sporting de Gijón, Real Zaragoza and Valencia CF, David Villa scored 31 of his 33 Liga penalties, but the 31-year-old did not take a top-flight spot kick for FC Barcelona, though he continues to do so for Spain. After nine months out with a broken leg, he returned to action by netting a penalty in a friendly win against Saudi Arabia in September 2012. "It's good to be back," he said afterwards. Ledio Pano (Albania, 1986-2001) Midfielder Pano boasted a 100% record in over 50 penalties in his career in Albania and Greece, with one-time FK Partizani team- mate Niko Frasheri noting: "We had faith in him. His precision with those shots was second to none." Pano, who spent hours practicing penalties after training sessions, added: "I never looked the keeper in the eye. I always just knew where I was going to put the ball." Vladislav Stoyanov (Bulgaria, 1982-1994) Stoyanov scored 24 from 24 top-flight penalties in the 1980s and 1990s with PFC Chernomorets Burgas and PFC Lokomotiv Sofia though he admitted "I missed one for Chernomorets in the second division". Now Bulgaria Under-19 coach, he told UEFA.com: "Usually I looked at the goalkeeper to see at which way he would go and slightly delayed my kick. That usually worked, but if in doubt I also had my favourite spot to hit my penalties."

Making international calls no longer needs to be
seen as an expensive action, with numerous
apps available across multi-platforms including
iPhone, Android and Windows phones. Such
apps
can save users a lot of money over traditional
carrier charges for international dialing, and can
usually be used with Wi-Fi, therefore also
reducing drain on data plans.
1. *Google Voice* offers cheap
international calling rates,
voicemail with transcription,
options for personalising
voicemail messages for callers,
and forwarding calls to different phones. Sadly,
Google Voice is still largely restricted to users in
the US, and thus isn’t the best option if calls
need to go both ways. Google Voice has official
apps for Android and iOS, and an unofficial
option
called GoVoice for Windows Phone.
2.*Rebtel* has apps for making
international calls from nearly
any type of device, including
iPhone and Android.
International calling is
inexpensive and easy with Rebtel’s low rates
and “local numbers” functionality which means
that you pay a local rate to call an international
number.
3.
*Skype* is one of the best known
VoIP options, with free calling
in many cases between users
who both have Skype, and
reasonable rates for
international VoIP calls. Video chat is also
available. The main downside is that audio
quality
on Skype can be unpredictable. Skype apps for
international calls are available for Android, iOS,
and Windows Phone.
4. *Vonage* is similar to Skype,
except without the video chat
feature. Vonage offers cheap
international rates, free calls to
other Vonage customers, and
uses HD audio for VoIP calls, so call quality is
great. The Vonage app is available for Android
and iOS, and if you are a Vonage home
customer, you can use the Vonage Extensions
app for Android or iOS to use your home plan on
your mobile device.
5. *Fring* is an original app that
gained a jump-start on Skype
in the mobile market. It offers
the same video chat,
messaging, and VoIP calling
options as Skype. The downside is that Fring’s
mobile apps have received critique for poor,
buggy performance at times. The Fring app is
available for Android and iOS.
6. *Viber* is another app that allows
cheap international calls using
Wi-Fi between Viber users. The
app scans your contact list, and
notes those who already have
the Viber app on their own phone. The downside
is that incoming calls on the mobile carrier
network usually result in an in-progress Viber
call being dropped. There are Viber Apps for: iOS
(iPhone), Android, Windows Phone and
Blackberry.
Don’t keep paying your mobile carrier’s high
rates for international calls! Switching to one of
these easy-to-use apps means lower rates,
more flexibility, and no hassle calling between
different devices. Just download the app of your
choice, create your contact list, and enjoy fast,
clear connections to friends and loved ones all
over the world

Senator Garba Marafa has stated that as far as he is concerned, he is richer than Aliko Dangote.



Senator Garba Marafa has stated that as far as he is concerned, he is richer than Aliko Dangote.

He said: "I am extremely rich because to me richness is in the mind, it is not how much you have".

The senator said that despite the fact that he has been a senator for six years, he still lives in a rented house.

When asked why?,  He said he does not have the money to buy a house in Abuja because he is always conscious of his responsibilities.

The senator added that when people voted him, he promised that on every naira he gets, he would spend 60 kobo on them and 40 kobo on himself and he is determined to keep this promise.

If we consider ourselves of our great country, Nigeria, then it is pur duty to know the provision of the law in the area that concerns us. So many people suffer,which unknown to them is as a result of their ignorance of the Law even the Bible says "My people are destroyed for lack of Knowledge". The solution to your problem as a Christian might not necessarily be prayer,but adherence to the principle of the law.

We shall be considering the provision of the law as it relates to marriages
This write up is a leaflet from chapter four of the book titled " The Ministers of God and the Law"; written by *Oyenike Aribisala (ESQ)*.
Marriage is a voluntary union of two persons, male and female (remember not same sex); that creates a family tie and carries legal and social right responsibilities.

If we are expected to be obedient to the provision of the bible in the book of Mark 10:9 which says "what God has joined together let no man put asunder". Then we must realize that the celebration of marriage must be carried out with all cautions. Christians and ministers of God must come to the knowledge of the existence of the prevailing laws which guides marriages; otherwise failure to comply with them might render that same marriage invalid in this court of law: hence we shall be referring to the Nigerians lawa-marriages act, CAP 218, LFN, 1990 and matrimonial Causes Act, CAP 220,LFN 1990.

Now ,the following are the types of marriages recognized under the Nigerian law:

1. CUSTOMARY MARRIAGE:
THIS is the type of marriage conducted to the prevailing tradition of the place of origin of the intended couple. This varies from tribe to tribe.
In Yoruba custom, the tradition marriage is the one popularity called engagement where the families from both sides come together and celebrate a minor party in order for the groom family to pay the dowry to the bride's family. The moment the dowry is paid : a customary marriage has taken place.
However this kind of marriages has its various disadvantages; that's why couples are advice not to end in only customary.

"The solution to your problem as Christian might not necessarily be prayer but adherence to the principles of the law."

2. STATUTORY/LEGAL MARRIAGE:
THIS type of marriage is the one conducted in the marriage registry or a Church. This is the most acceptable and strongest type of marriage.

Below are few out of many compulsory requirements a church must comply with before it can be said to have conducted a valid marriage under the law

a. Under S. 18-20 of the marriage Act, it is not acceptable for any of the intended couple to many below the age of 21years as such marriage shall be null and void in law. However there are exception where such persons below 21years can be allowed to marry.
If he/she has fulfilled the conditions spelt out in the same marriage act. You can find out this conditions in the book mentioned above.
b. Before the marriage is conducted, the intended couple must approach the marriage registry and intimate them of their intention at least a month before their wedding in the church, so that the marriage registry can issue to them a *CERTIFICATE OF NOTICE* WHICH the intended couple must take to the church before conducting the wedding. This requirement is a compulsory one.

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, has insisted that its members would not return to work, unless their demands from Oyo and Osun State Governments are met

This was disclosed by the Chairman of ASUU, LAUTECH, Dr Abiodun Olaniran, while speaking in Ibadan yesterday.

“Issue of ultimate survival of the institution as a proper university in the comity of other universities elsewhere” was never negotiable. 
 “While ASUU is eager to put this ugly situation in LAUTECH behind us, we are interested in a honest and holistic address of the issues that forced us to proceed on the current strike. 
“It is gratifying that even the visitation panel set up by the owner states clearly called attention to this problem,” Olaniran said.

In response to the call by Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State, he added: “For the Governor to be calling on the striking staff who have been reduced to paupers due to months of unpaid salaries is the peak of insensitivity to the plight of the workers.”

LAUTECH has almost lost a session as a result of the s

MELAYE’S RECALL
For more than a week now the media space has been polluted with a vindictive and fraudulent recall process being orchestrated by the Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello against Dino Melaye, the Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial district in the Senate. It is no longer news that this latest round of drama is the culmination of the frosty relationship that exists between Yahaya Bello and Senator Melaye. We are worried about this embarrassing scenario, especially in the league of democratic Nations.
Yet, looking into the situation from a dispassionate view, one is bound to ask – what is actually the sin of Senator Dino Melaye? Right from when Melaye was in the House of Representatives and up till today, the Senator had always insisted on good governance in Kogi State especially and Nigeria in general. He has thus on different occasions championed anti corruption campaigns as reflected on his sponsored bills and motions in the House of Representatives and the Senate.
What we are seeing today is Dino Melaye’s consistent insistence not to join Yahaya Bello in impoverishing his state of Kogi. It is no secret that since Yahaya Bello became Governor he has plunged his state into one crises or the other in a bid to become the imperial Majesty of Kogi State. This did not stop him from owing the state workers 15 months salaries. Many of the state owned institutions have been closed down in spite of being a beneficiary of the Federal Government’s bail-out funds and also the Paris club refund to states. The Kogi Chapter of Nigeria Labour Congress supported by the NLC Abuja is literally at war with the Government of Kogi State. Kogi State is now adjudged one of the worst governed states in Nigeria. Nothing is working in the state and Dino Melaye and other progressives have vowed never to remain silent in the face of this gross mis-governance.
It is therefore, outrageous that rather than commit himself to revamping his ailing State, Governor Yahaya would devote his entire energy, state resources and time to a futile and fraudulent recall process of Dino Melaye that would further plunge the state into unimaginable debts. Besides, this is a Chief Security Officer of a state who is now the prime architect of insecurity in his own state. Yahaya’s acute sense of insecurity has turned Kogi State to a volatile one as he continues to project his fear unto others.
Analyzing Yahaya Bello’s flawed reign as Kogi State Governor can take 50 chapters of a book covering all the unpalatable ramifications of his totally inglorious term in the saddle. Yet, Yahaya Bello would like to tell us what is in a book simply by looking at its cover. Here is a complete opportunist of a failed Governor who clearly does not understand what democracy is all about. While enjoying perks of the office of a governorship he neither earned nor deserves in any way, he shows absolutely no interest in understanding our constitution and its dictates pertaining to that office and its proper relationship with other arms of government.
If we may ask, “what does Governor Yahaya really want, in the first place?” Perhaps, his desire is that the laws should be amended by the National Assembly so that he can have the sole right to choose those to represent Kogi State in the Senate, House of Representatives, the House of Assembly, Local Government Chairmen and Councilors as well! This may be the only way he can exercise his powers as sole administrator or emperor of a poverty stricken state he has only succeeded in running further aground. While John Maxwell famously held that competence is not a substitute for lack of character, in Yahaya Bello, we have a man who clearly has no character to speak of and exhibits no competence expected of a Governor.
Character is the moral infrastructure any God fearing leader should have. Regardless of the fact that Bello is the chief beneficiary of a mandate he does not in any way deserve, Nigerians will nevertheless, always remember him as the man who lost the APC primaries to the late Governor Audu and whose reaction to that resounding defeat was to start working for the PDP. Does that show character?
Now, let us look at the recall process itself. The process has been faulted as it is constitutionally deficient, illegal and unlawful as the plaintiff has not been given fair hearing in a clear breach of his fundamental human rights. Bello is so committed to denigrating the legislature as a separate, independent and co-equal arm of government that as if to prove the point that he lacks all democratic credentials, he is busy having supporters of Senator Melaye arrested for refusing to be part of the recall exercise.
As such we have a completely illegitimate recall process in which a complete failure of a Governor is trying to sack a federal legislator, something not even a President of Nigeria has ever attempted in the entire history of our nation.
While this desperation by Yahaya Bello is clearly a political vendetta as the rising political profile of Melaye is seen as a threat to his dwindling political fortunes in Kogi, the travesty has however revealed the true character of Bello as a man to be watched carefully. In the first place, it has been revealed that Governor Bello is guilty of double registration with INEC, first in January, 2011 and secondly in May 23, 2017, in Government House, Lokoja. Again, he is believed to have tampered with INEC’s Direct Data capture machines from where he either extracted signatures of some voters while allegedly forging others to sign in a bid to incriminate Melaye.
Very soon, Governor Yahaya Bello would be on his own as prominent Kogi State indigenes and stakeholders are against the recall and are embarrassed by the Governor’s poor understanding of what governance is all about. Also, Bunu people have condemned the plot to recall Dino Melaye. They are exasperated because Dino remains one of the most productive lawmakers with one of the highest number of people oriented bills and motions to his credit in the National Assembly. Such a person deserves respect and not denigration. We are happy that Dino has instituted a suit against his recall and we call on him to sustain the suit filed on his behalf to protect his hard earned integrity and his fundamental human rights.
To understand the spirit that drives Dino Melaye, we have to look at his pedigree and some of his achievements in the National Assembly and to his constituents. Dino Melaye graduated from Ahmadu Bello University with a B.A in Geography. While at ABU he was an active member of the Nigeria Association of Nigeria Students (NANS). He later represented the Kabba/Bunu/Ijumu Federal constituency in the House of Representatives.
After a successful stint in the Federal House, he contested for the Senate position to represent Kogi West Senatorial district, an election that he won. Today, more than 30 undergraduates are enjoying his scholarship while he sunk boreholes in various villages in his constituency. He has also donated drugs worth millions of naira to hospitals and also sustained his widow empowerment programmes.
It is understandable why someone like Yahaya Bello would not like Senator Dino Melaye. Yahaya Bello’sprogrammes are anti people while Dino Melaye is clearly a fighter on the side of the defenseless masses of Kogi State. Melaye’s revolutionary life was sharpened by the lives of world class heroes and icons of freedom and democracy Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jnr. His numerous awards are pointers to his avowed goal of repositioning the poor masses of his state to stand against forces of oppression and repression in a poverty ravaged state like Kogi.
As we await the outcome of the ‘comedy of errors’ in which a failed Governor like Yahaya Bello, now apparently seeks a new career as the sacker of legislators, we call on well meaning Nigerians to condemn the misuse of state power while demanding that Bello concentrates on rescuing his sinking state from the political abyss that wants to consume him and his horde of daily bread hatchet men.
We also call upon INEC to distance itself from this charade as the recall process has been discredited right from day one. The latest information is that in a bid to demonize Senator Dino Melaye at all cost, the Kogi State Governor had collected fictitious signatures, some of dead or non-existent persons in a bid to achieve a pre-determined end. If INEC is drawn into this senseless debacle, it will dent the image of INEC to no end. Yahaya Bello is a political leper to be kept at arms length by all men of good sense. Knowing he can never win an election freely and fairly in Kogi State, his antics now remind one of the story of the proverbial chicken which attempts to destroy anything it cannot get.
It is our view that no one should be allowed to hold Kogi State to ransom. Yahaya Bello is not the first Governor of Kogi State and he certainly will not be the last. He should therefore not destroy the state to a level that would make it a laughing stock in Nigeria. He should also realize that putting out another man’s candle does not light his own. As men of reason gather in support of Dino Melaye, we believe that very soon Kogi State will be liberated from the clutches of Governor Yahaya Bello, whose governance style is not only strange but kindergarten.
For the avoidance of doubt, if a lawmaker must be recalled, it must come genuinely from his constituents without outside forces remotely controlling the process with state resources. The constitution does not envisage that a Governor is in a position directly or indirectly to sack a Senator, a Member of the House of Representatives, or even a Member of a State House of Assembly. If Dino is allowed to go, this idea of Governor’s sacking any legislator they disagree with will become a trend and will only spell doom for our democracy.
Yahaya Bello must be stopped, simple.
