Gautam Adani is the richest man in India and across Asia. According to Bloomberg, he is the fifth on the world billionaire list with a net worth of N108 billion as of the 11th of May 2022, coming after Warren Buffett and before Larry Page.

He owns 75% stakes in Adani Enterprises, Adani Power, and Adani Transmissions which is the largest port operator in India. He also owns about 37% of Adani Total Gas, 65% of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone, and 61% of Adani Green Energy all located in India.

Early life and running a business
Gautam was born in June 1962 in the western Indian state of Gujarat to Shantilal and Shanti Adani in Ahmedabad. His father was a small textile merchant who migrated from the town of Tharad in the northern part of Gujarat. Gautam enrolled for a bachelor’s degree in Commerce at Gujarat University but dropped out after his second year.

Gautam’s love for business took him to Mumbai in 1978, where he helped the Mahendra Brothers sort diamonds. His business side of him further came to live when his elder brother Mahasukhbhai Adani bought a plastics unit in Ahmedabad and invited him to manage the operations and he quickly took advantage of this to set a footprint for global trading of polyvinyl chloride importation.

In 1985, he started importing primary polymers for small-scale industries. In 1988, he set up Adani Enterprises, the group’s flagship company, to import and export commodities which originally dealt in agricultural and power commodities.

The governor of Gujarat announced managerial outsourcing of the Mundra Port in 1994, and Adani got the contract in 1995, after which he set up the first jetty, which was originally run by Mundra Port & Special Economic Zone but was later transferred to Adani Ports and SEZ (APSEZ).

Adani decided to turn it into a commercial port, building rail and road links to it by individually negotiating with over 500 landowners across India to create the largest port in India.

Today, the company is the largest private multi-port operator in India, with the capacity to handle close to 210 million tons of cargo per annum.
Since then, the group has continued to achieve record-breaking milestones in India as well as around the globe.

In 1996, Adani Power was founded and represented the largest private thermal power producer in the country with 4620MW. However, the group entered the power generation business in 2006 while also expanding through the acquisition of Abbot Point port in Australia from 2009 to 2012.

Personal life and other endeavours
Gautam Adani is married to Priti, and they have two children.
He was abducted and held hostage for ransom in 1998, but was released without collecting the money.
Through his foundation, Adani Foundation, founded in 1996, he contributed $13 million to fight the Coronavirus outbreak while also contributing $660,000 to the Gujarat CM Relief Fund and $130,000 to the Maharashtra CM Relief Fund.
He won the world’s largest solar bid by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), worth $6 billion. The 8000MW photovoltaic power plant project by Adani Green is expected to establish 2000MW of additional solar cell and module manufacturing capacity
In February 2022, Adani became Asia’s richest person, surpassing Mukesh Ambani after Adani Group announced the incorporation of its wholly-owned subsidiary, AMG Media Networks, to carry on the business of media-related activities.
Recently, the group acquired the rights to one of the six franchises in the newly- launched UAE T20 League.

Operatives of the Abuja Zonal Command of the EFCC, have arrested one Afolabi Samad, owner of a Yahoo Yahoo Academy in Abuja.

The 24-year-old was arrested on Thursday, May 12, 2022, in a sting operation alongside 16 of his students. The youngsters between the ages of 18 and 27 years were arrested at their hideout located in Peace Court Estate, Lokogoma, a suburb of Abuja.

According to a statement by the spokesperson of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, the owner of the alleged Academy rented the 3 bedroom flat for Three Million Naira to impact the tricks of cyber-fr@uds on his apprentices for undisclosed fees.

Items recovered from the suspects include laptops, phones, charms and two vehicles: a Lexus RX350, and Toyota Highlander.

What an unpleasant experience

Those perpetrators should be killed by hanging, they deserve slow & painful death. This is the height of barbarism.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been named the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for April 2022, earning the prize for the second time this season.
Ronaldo was in impressive form throughout the month of April, scoring five times in just four matches for the Red Devils.
The honour is made even more impressive as he missed United's heavy 4-0 defeat to Liverpool due to special leave.

Ronaldo missed that match due to grieving over the tragic death of his newborn baby son.

The latest award now moves the Portuguese international to within one of the Premier League record of seven, which is held by Tottenham striker Harry Kane, and former Manchester City star Sergio Aguero.

In the month of April, Ronaldo scored his 100th Premier League goal, in a 3-1 defeat at Arsenal, while he also registered his 50th club hat-trick in a 3-2 win over Norwich City

Ronaldo notched his fifth goal of the month, equalising to earn a 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

The forward topped an eight-man shortlist that also featured Nathan Collins, Kevin De Bruyne, Bruno Guimaraes, Gabriel Jesus, Son Heung-min, Thiago and Leandro Trossard.

Why is Nigeria in number 7, I think there’s some sentimental in the ranking, you left Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria women

Erling Haaland is set to bring his time at Borussia Dortmund to an end this summer by completing a move to Manchester City.
The 21-year-old has become the latest in a long list of players whose star has risen to incredible heights during their time at the German club.

Haaland arrived for 20 million euros

Haaland will complete a 60 million euro move to the Etihad Stadium, which is less than the release clause that Mino Raiola had inserted into his contract.

The Norwegian arrived at Dortmund for 20m euros from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020.

Lewandowski cost 4.7 million euros

Robert Lewandowski joined Dortmund in 2010 after the German club paid Lech Poznan 4.7m euros for his services.

The Polish striker enjoyed a stunning rise at the Signal Iduna Park before moving to Bayern Munich on a free transfer in the summer of 2014.

Dembele's arrival in 2016

Another excellent piece of business by Dortmund came in the summer of 2016, as the German club signed Ousmane Dembele from Rennes for 35m euros.

Twelve months later, Barcelona made a 140m euro offer for the winger, who then completed a move to the Camp Nou.

Aubameyang's ladder

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang signed for Dortmund in the summer of 2013 in a deal worth 13m euros from Saint-Etienne.

Five years later, having established himself as one of the best strikers in Europe, Aubameyang joined Arsenal for 63m euros.

The discovery of Isak

Alexander Isak was playing for AIK in Sweden when Dortmund paid 8m euros to sign him in 2017.

Two years later, Real Sociedad offered 15m euros for the striker's services, and he soon made the move to the Basque Country.

Sancho: From 8m euros to 85m

Jadon Sancho left the Manchester City academy in 2017 to join Dortmund in a deal worth 8m euros.

The English winger shone during his time in Germany, and he signed for Manchester United in the summer of 2021 for 85m euros.
The Gundogan factor

In 2011, Dortmund completed the signing of central midfielder Ilkay Gundogan from Nuremberg for 5m euros.

Gundogan was a pivotal part of the team which reached the Champions League final in 2013, and he signed for Manchester City for 27m euros in 2016.

An unknown Pulisic

Christian Pulisic arrived at Borussia Dortmund in 2015 as a virtually unknown forward in European football.

The American's rise was remarkable, and four years later he joined Chelsea in a deal worth 64m euros.

Hummels: The man who left and came back

Mats Hummels' career has consisted of him moving between Bayern Munich and Dortmund.

The central defender joined Dortmund from Bayern's academy in 2009 for 4m euros, before returning to Munich in 2016 for 35m euros.

In 2019, Hummels returned to Dortmund in a deal worth 30m euros, where he is still playing.
The profit of Mkhitaryan

Henrikh Mkhitaryan signed for Dortmund in 2013 after the German club paid 27m euros for his services.

Three years later, Manchester United completed a deal to sign the playmaker for 42m, but the Armenian did not enjoy the same level of success at Old Trafford.

Gotze's rapid rise

Mario Gotze began his career in the Dortmund academy and established himself as one of the best young players in world football before signing for Bayern in 2013.

That deal was worth 37m euros, and the highlight of his career came a year later, as he scored the winner for Germany in the 2014 World Cup final against Argentina.

Sahin ended up at Real Madrid

Nuri Sahin emerged as an extraordinary young player during his time at Dortmund, having come through the club's academy.

In the summer of 2011, Real Madrid signed him for 10m euros, but injuries meant that he was unable to shine at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Todd Boehly has become Chelsea's new owner following the completion of his £3.5billion takeover.

Boehly's consortium was named as the preferred bidder to take over at Stamford Bridge by the Raine Group, the American bank who are overseeing the sale. He has partnered with fellow Dodgers owner Mark Walter, Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss as well as investment firm Clearlake Capital.

Boehly saw off competition from consortiums fronted by Stephen Pagliuca and Sir Martin Broughton and even a late £4.25bn bid from Britain's richest man Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Chelsea confirmed by their official website that terms have been agreed for the new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, to acquire the Premier League club.

The statement read: 'Chelsea Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjoerg Wyss, to acquire the Club.

'Of the total investment being made, £2.5bn will be applied to purchase the shares in the Club and such proceeds will be deposited into a frozen UK bank account with the intention to donate 100 per cent to charitable causes as confirmed by Roman Abramovich. UK Government approval will be required for the proceeds to be transferred from the frozen UK bank account.

'In addition, the proposed new owners will commit £1.75bn in further investment for the benefit of the Club. This includes investments in Stamford Bridge, the Academy, the Women’s Team and Kingsmeadow and continued funding for the Chelsea Foundation.

'The sale is expected to complete in late May subject to all necessary regulatory approvals. More details will be provided at that time.'

The Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world and that means millions of people around the world want to watch it, making it one of the richest too. But the teams that spend the most don’t always come out on top in the table.

English clubs have long spent big money on wages to tempt the best players to come and play for them which, in turn, increases the popularity of the league, bringing in even more money.

It means that the wage bills of Premier League clubs are often millions of pounds more than their foreign competitors, with the wages of the ‘big six’ especially eye-watering.

Discussion on footballers’ wages seems to be a regular occurrence, with much discontent about the amount of money some of the top footballers earn.

Last summer saw one of the world’s most notable football players return to England when Cristiano Ronaldo re-signed for Manchester United while Romelu Lukaku also made the same journey from Serie A to the Premier League.

It can be argued that neither transfer paid off.

Manchester United have long topped the Premier League’s wage bill table and have one of the biggest payrolls in world football, but they have struggled to perform in recent years while other clubs have spent less money on wages but got better results.

A Nigerian man has taken to his Twitter page to share the sinister plan he has for a lady who rejected him when he was not financially buoyant but now that he is, she’s come back crawling to him.

The said man revealed how the lady rejected him five years ago and went on to date a guy who was quite richer than he was at the time and was always showering the lady with so much gifts but they eventually broke up two years later.

He shared that things eventually turned out well for him and the lady saw that he’s doing now fine and decided to come crawling back to him… meanwhile, he has a diabolic plan put in place for her.

Read what he shared on his page,

I don’t like hurting women but I’m definitely gonna break this one’s heart so bad that she’ll quit being a hungry girl in her life.

So I met this girl about 5 years ago, when I was really still struggling in life. I liked her and she liked me too but she doesn’t wanna date me because I was really broke, she didn’t put it that way then but with what happened recently it became evident that she rejected me then coz I was broke. Back I was her best friend, we vibed and spent a lot of time together, at some point I asked her out but she turned me down giving me different excuses, the major excuse being that she isn’t ready for any relationship at that point, she even asked us to both wait for six months and see what happens between us…like some we could date after studying each other for 6 months kinda shit.
