Sports / Gabriel Jesus Ends World Champions' Unbeaten Run As Five-time World Cup Winners by olamariamjonez(m): 11:43pm On Mar 27, 2018
Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus scored the only goal as five-time World Cup winners Brazil put their rivals on notice that they are once more coming for their crown this summer, with a 1-0 win over reigning world champions Brazil.

Four years on from the 7-1 thumping in the Mineirão, the Selecao gained a small modicum of revenge at the the Olympiastadion.

Having charged through South American qualification under Tite, Brazil are warming up nicely for this summer's finals, and were deserved winners in Berlin.

Jesus, still only 20, bagged the game's only goal after 37 minutes, powerfully heading home Willian's inch-perfect cross from eight yards; while it was straight at Kevin Trapp, who got a firm hand to it, the Germany stopper couldn't keep it out.

Germany, who made a number of changes from the side that drew with Spain on Friday, huffed and puffed but couldn't create many clear cut opportunities against a solid Brazilian base.

Their best opportunity came late on, when Julian Draxler's 20-yard half-volley was turned away by Alisson, who was largely untroubled for much of the evening.

Kingwizzy16:
You're right, but any single opportunity you get in Abuja will worth more than anyone you get in Lagos




Cost of living is cheap in Abuja OP depending on the part, same as Lagos. Places like Suleja, lugbe, Kubwa, nyanya, apo, karimo, jahi, kado-kuchi, jabi-village, dutse,

houses are cheaper in those places, but maitama, asokoro, Central Area, gwarrimpa, wuse, are costlier just like lekki Ajah ikoyi etc
You are right. If you not staying inside FCT, things are not expensive. Even food in Abuja is cheaper.

A dialogue sticker that employs satirical approach to address certain key societal issues has sparked trends on different social media platforms.

The ‘Ugo Jesse stickers’ which has got the attention of many Nigerians as well as foreigners is designed by Nigerian graphics designer Ugochukwu Jesse.

The stickers aims to tackle issues such as health, women empowerment, social justice and child welfare, political awareness, human rights and human cooperation.

The comic stickers, distinct by their playful and colourful look and deep dialogues, are already generating conversations on various social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Speaking with our correspondent, Jesse said that the stickers are designed to create conversations around issues that people deem too serious to debate about on social media.

He explained that this prompted him to design the stickers in ‘comic’ form, with characters that the average person could relate with, but with deep conversations that make people reflect.

“The messages are designed to help people, especially the younger generation that spends a bulk of its time on social media, learn about the things that affect the shape of the society.

“I share my messages because they are so many things we learn day in, day out and one can only grow when knowledge is passed properly.”

Business / Facebook Shares Stumble, Mark Zuckerberg Loses $5b by olamariamjonez(m): 12:25am On Mar 21, 2018
Facebook shares plunged Monday as the social media giant faced an onslaught of criticism at home and abroad over revelations that a firm working for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign harvested and misused data on 50 million members.

On Wall Street, Facebook shares skidded 6.8 percent amid concerns about pressure for new regulations that could hurt its business model.

The share plunge erased $5billion from the net worth of Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg today.

Calls for investigations came on both sides of the Atlantic after Facebook responded to the explosive reports of misuse of its data by suspending the account of Cambridge Analytica, a British firm hired by Trump’s 2016 campaign.

Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar and Republican John Kennedy called for Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg to appear before Congress, along with the CEOs of Google and Twitter.

The two lawmakers said the companies “have amassed unprecedented amounts of personal data” and that the lack of oversight “raises concerns about the integrity of American elections as well as privacy rights.”

It was the first fatality from a self-driving vehicle.

The vehicles are being tested around the globe in a high-profile race by global automakers and tech companies expecting that autonomous vehicles will transform transportation and the ride services business.

The vehicle was in autonomous mode with an operator behind the wheel at the time of the accident, which occurred overnight Sunday to Monday, Tempe police said.

“The vehicle was traveling northbound … when a female walking outside of the crosswalk crossed the road from west to east when she was struck by the Uber vehicle,” police said in a statement.

According to him, wrong leaders had emerged in the past due to the non-involvement of many in the electoral process.

Business / We are set to clear external debts in September - Deputy Gov. RB Zimbabwe by olamariamjonez(m): 3:41pm On Mar 18, 2018
Mr Khupikile Mlambo, Deputy Governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe says the country is expected to make up for all its debt arrears to major international lenders by September.

Mlambo disclosed this to reporters at the sideline of the Londo Investment summit.

He said that the country could return to international capital markets after the payment

“The ball is in our court, it is not with the IMF or the World Bank or the African Development Bank,” he said.

Zimbabwe had been shut out of international capital markets since it began defaulting on its external debt in 1999.

In 2016, Zimbabwe paid off 15 years’ worth of arrears to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It is still years behind on payments to the World Bank and African Development Bank, however, hampering its ability to tap development financing from the two.

Sports / Neymar emerges as a top target for Real Madrid chiefs by olamariamjonez(m): 6:27pm On Mar 16, 2018
Jurgen Klopp has hit out at the Premier League after they sanctioned the switch of the Merseyside derby for a Saturday lunchtime kick-off in between their Champions League blockbuster with Manchester City.Liverpool's manager is furious that a fixture of such importance, which was originally scheduled for 2.15pm on Sunday, April 8, will now take place 26 hours earlier due to the second leg of their quarter-final being played on Tuesday, April 10.

The switch gives Liverpool more time to prepare for the trip to Manchester but Klopp is more concerned about the impact it has on preparations for the game at Goodison Park, which will have a significant bearing on whether Klopp's side can finish in the top four.

Manchester City also play on Saturday, April 7 – their clash with Manchester United could see them become champions – but Klopp sees the 5.30pm kick-off time as being more beneficial to Pep Guardiola's team and he is shocked that Liverpool have been handed this slot.

When asked about the possibility of squaring up to City, Klopp said: 'There will be a point when I am looking forward to that game but at the moment I am already angry because I heard a second ago the Premier League will put our game against Everton at 12.30 on the (middle) Saturday.
