ur headline should read "Messi blasts Ref after loss to Brazil"
Gr8 win 4 Brazil tho .

It's been modified. Thanks!

Barcelona star Lionel Messi has criticised match officials following Argentina’s 2-0 loss to Brazil in a semi-final match at the 2019 COPA America.

Goals from Gabriel Jesus and Messi’s Barcelona teammate Roberto Firmino ensured the Brazilians zoomed into the final of the competition on home soil.

However, Messi who has not won any senior international crown was furious with the officials over what he described as a biased officiating.

Speaking after the clash, he noted that Brazil were not better than his team but were lucky to get away with the win due to poor officiating.

“They were not better than us,” he said. “They found the net early and the second goal came from a penalty [to Aguero] they didn’t award.

“[The officials] were tired of making bulls**t calls at this Copa and they didn’t go to VAR. It was unbelievable.

“It was like that all match. It was bulls**t that they were doing it all match. There is no excuse, it must be looked into. Hopefully, CONMEBOL does something about this kind of referees.”

He added that “Because we did everything to try and advance but [the officials] stacked the deck against us.

“I don’t believe they will do anything because Brazil controls everything, so it is very complicated. But I don’t think we should feel bad for anything. It didn’t happen and we had bad luck.”

However, Atiku has assured that he would accept whatever the Tribunal declares.

He spoke in Abuja on Thursday via the spokesperson for his campaign organisation, Segun Sowunmi.

“We hope and pray that the cankerworm, nepotism, corruption and lack of integrity that has eaten deep into the fabrics of this society would be caught,” he said.

“But it’s up to the courts to demonstrate that they are immune. And I think this election tribunal will do its work.

“People want to know how it will go, and of course, we don’t have a choice, we will accept the verdict of history, we will accept the verdict of the court.

“However, there is no way you can edge it, Atiku is already the winner of the 2019 presidential election in the minds of the people.

“For he is the leader of opposition now, Atiku is not going to be silenced with whatever the outcome will be.”

Power, Works and Housing Minister, Babatunde Fashola, has said some parts of the country are now enjoying constant power supply.

Concise News understands that Fashola, a former Lagos State Governor, said this on Wednesday in Abuja.

According to him, some parts of the country like Kebbi and Yobe have a constant power supply.

He noted that the power distribution companies in those areas reported their consumers as saying that they do not need 24/7 power supply due to the high billing.

Fashola spoke to Channels TV Sunrise Daily monitored by Concise News where he noted that Nigerians should expect an improved power supply before the end of the President Muhammadu Buhari government in 2023.

Lala, Mynd44!

The spokesperson of the President Muhammadu Buhari campaign organisation, Festus Keyamo, on Thursday, reacted to some of the blunders made by his principal during recent campaign rallies.

Keyamo admitted that Buhari exhibited loss of memory but such was normal.

In a tweet, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria claimed that both Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed lost their memories at some point in their lives.

According to Keyamo: “This is classic FAKE NEWS (no single link to a CREDIBLE source)

“President Buhari’s Loss of Memory is Normal, Even Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed Lost Their Memories At Some Point”.

Buhari had severally made some mistakes during on the campaign trail in Warri, Delta State, where he referred to the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate as “presidential, senatorial, governortorial” candidate.

In Cross River, Buhari attempted to handover APC’s flag to a candidate other than the governorship candidate in the state.

He had presented Ndoma Egba as the governorship candidate instead of Owan Enoh.

Just few days ago, Buhari, while addressing APC members in Ekiti State, said he assumed power in 2005.

https://all-gists..com/2019/02/Buharis-memory-loss-normal-even-Jesus-Mohammed-did-Festus-Keyamo.html

So, op and the mod(s) that pushed this to front page don't understand that Keyamo was quoting someone.

Everyone wants to be a journalist but they can't even comprehend a simple statement.

Better delete this thrash and stop forming a journalist when you lack comprehension

Senator Shehu Sani has lamented the killing of Nigerian soldiers by members of the Boko Haram terror group in Melete, Borno State.

The soldiers were last week killed during an attack by the insurgents in Metele Military base in the North Eastern state.

Advertise With Us

In a post on his Facebook page, Sani who represents Kaduna Central in the Senate, went poetic to lament the death of the soldiers.

He described them as martyrs who gave their lives for Nigeria, praying God to console their family.

His post reads:

POEM FOR THE MARTYRS OF METELE

They gave their souls that we may breath and live.
They fought our battle that will end our wars.
They braved the storm that could have consumed us all.
They lighted up our darkest corners and paid its price.
They dare the Lucifer that we can be saved from all evil.

Let not their martyrdom be buried in the fog of our busy lives.
Let not their souls be forgotten in the dust of our ingratitude.
Let not their sacrifice be defaced by the wheel of time.
Let not their widows tears and grief be in vain.
Let not their orphans waste in the wilderness of our neglect.
Let not their spirit cast us in guilt.

Oh heavens of peace,
Embrace all these souls,
of men of valour who dare and died, that we may all live.

Great tips but you're not fully right about terrific and disinterested.

It can be used both ways: for something negative and as a compliment. For instance, he is a terrific writer means he is a great writer.

Also, disinterested could mean uninterested.

All the same, you did a great job, OP!

excelAGR42:
The English language can be somewhat confusing at times, especially when you fail to update yourself on the meanings of words regularly.

If you have ever heard someone say, “I was literally scared to death?”, that’s impossible simply because the dead can’t talk. Here are seven more English words you probably have been using wrong.


Disinterested

The word “disinterested” is another misunderstood word in the English language. While many people believe that the word means that you’re simply not interested, the original meaning of “disinterested” refers to a lack of bias or being fair and impartial: “We needed a disinterested judge to decide this case.” To indicate that you’re indifferent about something, you should use the word “uninterested.”


Bemused

People sometimes use the word “bemused” in place of “amused,” but the two words are not synonyms. Bemused means that you’re confused or bewildered.


Literally

The word “literally” is literally one of the most misused words in the English language. This word is often used as a way to emphasize something that happened: “I literally died laughing.”
The word refers to something that actually happened, without exaggeration, such as, “The tornado that came through literally destroyed every house in its path.”


Peruse

A lot of people believe that the word “peruse” means to read something quickly. As a matter of fact, the opposite of this is true. Peruse means to “read with thoroughness or care.” Used correctly, you would say, “I spent at least an hour perusing my notes so that I fully understood it.”


Terrific

This word is one of the words in the English language that has become completely disconnected from its origin. A lot of the time, it is used as a compliment or to describe a good feeling: “That outfit looks terrific!” or “I slept great and feel terrific today!”
However, the origin and proper meaning of the word is completely different, and means “very bad” or “exciting fear”. You might hear something like, “I just saw a terrific accident on my way home from work,” which would unfortunately sound strange in modern language.


Ambivalent

Most people think that the term ambivalent means that you don’t care about something. The word however means that you have contradictory or mixed feelings about a subject matter—not that you’re apathetic.
Used correctly, you could say, “I’m feeling quite ambivalent about where I want to work after graduation this year. I can’t decide whether I should work with a company or start a private business.”


Irregardless

While this word is popular in certain dialects, “irregardless” simply doesn’t exist in the English language. The word that you’re looking for is “regardless.” For example, “Regardless of the cost, they said they’re going to have a society wedding.”
