Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi, has said he won’t have any problem passing the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo if the Juventus man happens to join Barcelona this summer. Spanish football expert, Guillem Balague, had claimed that the player’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has put his name out there with Barca amongst those contacted. And Spanish outlet, Mundo Deportivo, quoted the Argentine captain as suggesting that he would pass to the Portuguese superstar if they played on the same side. Messi and Ronaldo have had a heated rivalry lasting over a decade on the field. Asked if he would pass to the former Real Madrid goal king, Messi said he would eventually do so. “I guess so, in the end, yes,” Messi said. From their elimination from the Champions League by Lyon, Ronaldo’s future at Juventus has been cast in doubt. Ronaldo, whose contract expires in 2022, has been linked with a move to French Champions, PSG. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://dailypost.ng/2020/08/15/transfer-messi-speaks-on-playing-alongside-ronaldo-at-barcelona/&ved=2ahUKEwis7fbXhqLrAhXSUMAKHblpCqoQyM8BMAV6BAgIEAY&usg=AOvVaw0qJE_WjfJ-0AIL9YnbOH-W&cf=1

Happy posthumous birthday, Sir. We miss you so much. |
We have seen different approaches adopted by different Governors in Nigeria to contain the spread of COVID-19. So far, only a few of the Governors have received accolades from their subjects, while a lot others have been vigorously criticized. However for a few who have done well, let's see who can be considered the Champion for the fight against the pandemic. Mine: Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State

Ronaldo Offered To Barcelona. Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been offered to Barcelona in a sensational move that would see him play alongside Lionel Messi. The former Real Madrid talisman could be on his way out from Juventus, after two seasons with The Old Lady – who are trying to get his huge £28m-per-year salary off their books, according to Spanish journalist Guillem Balague. He explained to the BBC that the Serie A champions are desperate to ship off Ronaldo due to his astronomical wages that they have been offering him out to Europe’s elite, including Barcelona. He told 5 Live Sport: ‘He’s been offered everywhere, including Barcelona. I’m not sure if they can get rid of him easily with the kind of money he earns. Who is going to pay that kind of money?’ Barcelona have been hit hard financially by the coronavirus pandemic and look unable to make big money signings during the summer period, as they hope to bridge the gap to LaLiga champions Real Madrid. Whilst an attacking duo of Lionel Messi and Ronaldo has been a spectacle football fans have been crying out for since they both announced themselves on the world stage around 15 years ago, it looks incredibly unlikely to become a reality this summer. ‘The reason why Cristiano Ronaldo has been linked with PSG, it’s not so much because PSG are thinking of getting him, but because Jorge Mendes has been given instructions to actually find a team for Ronaldo.’ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.goal.com/en-us/amp/news/live/transfer-news-and-rumours-live/1sxbdoomz3rwf1dv1i80g8ygkq

MOSCOW, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) -- Russia will start the production of its COVID-19 vaccine within two weeks, the country's health minister Mikhail Murashko said Wednesday. "First of all, the production facilities in Russia will be oriented towards the domestic market, to meet the need of our citizens," Murashko said during a news conference. Russia will offer the vaccine to other countries when it has sufficient amounts, the minister said, adding that foreign nations' doubts about the effectiveness of the vaccine are unfounded. The platform where the vaccine was created has been thoroughly studied and its authors have accumulated a sufficient amount of scientific data to guarantee its safety, he added. The world's first registered vaccine against the novel coronavirus was announced by President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday during an online meeting with government officials. The vaccine, named Sputnik V, was developed by the Gamaleya National Center of Epidemiology and Microbiology, alongside the Russian Direct Investment Fund. Russia plans to produce at least five million doses of the vaccine a month from December through January, according to Alexander Gintsburg, director of the Gamaleya National Research Center. He said that the center is also preparing documents to obtain permission to test the vaccine on children. The vaccine for children will be the same as the one for adults, but will likely be administered in a different dosage, requiring additional testing, Gintsburg added. So far, Russia has tallied a total of 902,701 COVID-19 cases, including 15,260 deaths and 710,298 recoveries. ■ https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2020-08/12/c_139285657.htm&ved=2ahUKEwi53ZOJ5ZfrAhVNrxoKHYCNCGsQxfQBMAF6BAgKEAo&usg=AOvVaw1x_fSyt4wH-z5jcOmbbzqc

A popular Nigerian pastor, Apostle Johnson Suleman has reacted to the death sentence handed to a musician for blasphemy. Suleman faulted the Kano Upper Shari’a Court for sentencing 22-year-old Yahaya Sharif to death by hanging. The televangelist and general overseer of Omega Fire Ministries International likened the verdict to self-deceit. Apostle Suleman has questioned why a singer will be sentenced to death when terrorists are pardoned in Nigeria. The clergyman said the country that pardons terrorists want to kill a man for blasphemy. Suleman likened the verdict to self-deceit. "A country that pardons terrorists wants to kill a man for blasphemy..I am sure even Saudi Arabia is shocked..the worst form of deception is self deceit," he tweeted. It could be recalled that an Upper Shari’a Court in Kano on Monday, August 10, presided by Khadi Aliyu Muhammad Kani found the 22-year old guilty of blasphemy after he composed a song in which verses were allegedly said to have been attributed to the prophet. Back in March, the Islamic singer composed a song that was shared on social media. The song went viral and caused an uproar which resulted in the invasion of Shariff's house by the youths who wanted to set it on fire. It was reported that the Kano-based singer is a member of Faidha group who “are known for their preference of Shaikh Ibrahim Nyass over Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and belongs to the Tijjaniya sect. Meanwhile, Nigeria's social media space is currently filled with outrage over the death sentence handed out to a singer over for blasphemy against Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). Social media opinions on the issue are heated and diverse, emotions are running high; many want the Nigerian government to intervene. But there are still some missing links regarding the burning issue as only a few journalists were reportedly allowed entry into the court. https://twitter.com/APOSTLESULEMAN/status/1293193766086549505?s=09

IT will be just and equitable for President Muhammadu Buhari to hand over to candidate from the Southeast in 2023, the Ohanaeze Youths said on Thursday. It insisted that it was the turn of the Southeast to produce the President’s successor. According to him, for equity, peace and justice to reign, Nigerians, especially the North, should support the Southeast in their bid. “Buhari should hand over to an Igbo candidate in 2023. It is a glaring fact that it is the turn of the Southeast in 2023,” Dozie said. To him, anything short of a President from the Southeast will not be fair to the region. Also, President of Ohaneze Ndigbo in Anambra State, Chief Damian Okeke-Ogene, restated the organisation’s position that is the Southeast’s turn to produce President Buhari’s successor. Dozie and Okeke-Ogene were reacting to a statement yesterday by past Secretary-General of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Chief Anthony Sani, who said that President Buhari was not a product of rotation. Dozie said the former ACF scribe was expressing his personal opinion. Mallam Mamman Daura, President Buhari’s family member, stirred the hornet’s nest when he said in an interview with the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on Wednesday that only the most competent, irrespective of region, should be elected as President in 2023. The All Progressives Congress (APC) distanced itself from Daura’s statement. Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, said: “That is not our position but a personal opinion by an individual who happens to be a member of our party.” Similarly, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) denounced Daura’s comments. Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Diran Odeyemi, said: “We shall come up with our zoning formula which will define where our presidential candidate will come from.” Read Also: Momah served humanity with his talents – Buhari The Igbo apex socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) also faulted Daura for the comment. Ohanaeze President-General, Chief Nnia Nwodo, through his media aide Chief Emeka Attamah, said: “All we know is that it is the turn of the South where we have abundant competent individuals who can steer the ship of this country, particularly among Ndigbo.” Yesterday, Sani argued that Buhari was not a product of rotation. The former ACF scribe said, aside from former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2011 and 2015, no fewer than 70 Presidential candidates contested against Buhari in 2019. He said: “I find it curious when some groups like Ohanaeze would say that President Buhari was a product of national consensus on zoning or rotation of position of president to the North. The fact of history says no to that. “I agree that the annulment of elections of June 12, 1993, morally blackmailed the nation into fielding General Obasanjo of PDP and Chief Olu Falai of AD/APP in 1999 to make up for the annulment and death of the winner, Chief MKO Abiola. “I also agree that President Obasanjo wanted to enthrone politics of zoning and rotation when he foisted President Yar’Adua on the nation. “But this did not last because apart from General Buhari’s bid in 2003 against President Obasanjo which was against letter and spirit of zoning/rotation, President Jonathan from the South contested against President Buhari from the North not only in 2011 but also in 2015. “In 2019, of about 76 presidential candidates, about 70 were southerners. All these shows there is no national consensus on rotation and zoning that is binding on political parties. “Therefore, it is either the proponents of politics of identity symbolised by rotation and zoning make it a law or they design a winning game plan and sell to the nation to secure their needed electoral mandate. “The publicity secretary of ACF is right when he said yesterday (Thursday) that currently, rotation and zoning are still affairs of political parties and must be seen and treated as such in the interest of our multiparty democracy.” https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://thenationonlineng.net/buhari-should-hand-over-to-southeast-candidate-says-ohanaeze/amp/&ved=2ahUKEwiwguqb9vfqAhWSoFwKHdrMDH8QyM8BMAB6BAgHEAQ&usg=AOvVaw0Ju2pu_-apifdFYp4XpFoF&cf=1

Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon has expressed fears that Nigerian may go asunder if Nigerians don’t pray for President Muhammadu Buhari. Gowon disclosed that there are people with sinister motives, who wouldn’t want peace to reign in the country. Though, he acknowledged that Buhari is doing a lot, but the security challenges are still obvious in the country. Gowon reemphasized that if Nigeria’s territorial integrity is undermined, Somalia will be a child’s play, warning that no one should be allowed to toil with the unity of the country. He spoke in Abuja at the thanksgiving service and reception organized by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in honour of the newly appointed Executive Secretary, Nigerian Christian Pilgrim Commission (NCPC), Rev. Yakubu Pam. Gowon who was represented by the Minister of Special Duties and Inter-governmental Affairs, Senator George Akume said: “Yakubu Pam has been sufficiently prepared by God to serve his people. I can testify to the fact that who the cap fits let him wear it. This commission is crucial and sensitive as one of the agencies of government. “You are coming into the office at a time that we have very serious security challenges. We have made a lot of efforts to solve these problems along with people of other religion. That is why virtually everybody supported you for this position. It is an opportunity for you to do even more to bring peace to our country. “We need peace to succeed. I know President Muhammadu Buhari is doing a lot but the challenges are still there. There are people with sinister motives, who wouldn’t want peace. But through prayers, I appeal to CAN to continue to pray not only for Yakubu Pam but for the president and all of us, and for your dear country, so that Nigeria will not go asunder. I once made a comment that this country is too big and versed with a population of over 200 million. “A scholar said that we are structurally complex and pluraly diverted. If our territorial integrity is undermined, Somalia will be a child’s play. We don’t have to toil with our unity. You are in a very good position working closely with CAN and people of other faith so that together we can reestablish peace, push forward our agenda for our territorial integrity, push forward for our oneness so that together supporting the president, we can take our country to the next level, we have the human and material resources to take Nigeria to the next level”. Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege also said that Nigeria needs religious tolerance. Omo- Agege urged the newly appointed NCPC boss, to be an agent of change and propagate tolerance and love among Nigerians. His words: “Firstly, I saw in your appointment, yet another testimony of a well-rounded peg in a round hole which is a big credit to the administration of His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari. I say this with all sense of responsibility, given your passion for Christ, and your wealth of experience in shepherding the flock of the Lord. “The second has to do with the need to sustain and improve intra-religious and inter-religious harmony among Nigerians for which you are well known, going by your records in your previous engagements in different positions as Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria of Northern Nigeria; Vice President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria and regional Chairman of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in 2016. In all these, you kept the faith as a bridge builder across Christian denominations and across religions”. Omo- Agege said Pam is appointed at a time when Nigeria need to really espouse the tenets of the Christian Pilgrimage, stick to them and ensure that the spiritual rejuvenation and spiritual recharge which pilgrimages are meant to offer, are indeed reaped by all pilgrims. He said: “I trust that you will bring your wealth of knowledge and experience in the teachings of Christ, to propagate tolerance and love in our country. As believers and disciples of Jesus Christ, we must follow his footsteps. We would want to see an order where visits to these grottos and sites evoke the passion of Christ and Christlikeness in those that visit them. “The dividends of such evocation can only be imagined. It will be the spiritual force that will help take such pilgrims away from all forms of corruption both of the mind (where corruption actually begins from), and in their actions. It will help reduce violence of all manners, religious intolerance and brigandage. “I am confident on your ability to raise the bar and improve the experience and outcome of Christian pilgrimage in Nigeria”. CAN president, Rev. Samson Ayokunle urged the NCPC executive secretary to be courageous always and take the right steps no matter the situation. Ayokunle advised him to always pray, adding that: “Entrenching good policies would be met with pockets of resistance. You must know however that you are the one to account to God about the running of the commission. Because of this, let no person intimidate when you are taking the right decision. The Lord encouraged Joshua to be strong and be of good courage. Joshua 1: 6-7, with courage as well, be ready to take risks but be led by the Spirit. “People may hate you because you always stand for what is right but they can never deny your humility in service. Do not Lord it over those serving under you but gently and humbly carry them along in your leadership. Let them feel very important no matter how small the assignment you give to them may be. A humble leader would always appreciate the contributions of others. This appreciation is the reinforcement you would give them to do better in the subsequent assignment. Jesus washed his disciples’ feet. In your humble leadership, serve with your team and take good care of their welfare as Jesus did.” The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha urged Pam to perform with the fear of God in his new office. Mustapha, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary on political affairs, assured him of full government support to succeed. https://thenationonlineng.net/gowon-to-christians-pray-for-buhari-to-avoid-nigerias-division/

Miyetti Allah Vigilante Will not operate in Benue State. Following the news credited to the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore of setting up security outfit nationwide to carter for their security welfare, Terver Akase, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor of Benue State released a press statement warning the Fulani group never to approach Benue State. According to the CPS, “We read the statement credited to the Fulani socio-cultural association, Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, in which the group announced that it has established its security outfit called ‘Miyetti Allah Vigilante’ to operate nationwide. “As much as we do not have any problem with Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore floating a security outfit in other states, it is important to say that such a vigilante group WILL NOT OPERATE IN BENUE STATE. Miyetti Allah has no constitutional right to establish a nationwide security outfit. “Benue does not need the Miyetti Allah vigilante. The State Government is working with conventional security forces and has already established a vigilante group at the state, local government and ward levels. This is evident in the ongoing recruitment of personnel for Community Policing who will soon be trained as recommended by Inspector General of Police. The idea of running a nationwide vigilante group is a mere strategy by the Fulani socio-cultural organization to elevate their nefarious and inhuman activities to another level. They have repeatedly claimed responsibility for the killing of thousands of children, women and other vulnerable people in different states, yet, members of the group walk freely in Abuja and hold press conferences threatening to unleash terror on the people of this country. We once more call for the arrest and prosecution of officials of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, to end the spate of crime in the country. “We urge the Federal Government to stop looking elsewhere for bandits who have been killing innocent Nigerians. Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore are coordinators of banditry in the country, and officials of the group reside in Abuja.” https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.sunnewsonline.com/miyetti-allah-vigilante-will-not-operate-in-benue-ortom/&ved=2ahUKEwj0tJHOr_fqAhWHUcAKHX1pCH0QFjAGegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw1ysCJ_D0dAmxdKUMKrvo0Zn

Dorathy Bachor has revealed that her family has warned her not to return home after the BBNaija reality TV show is over. Dorathy who is one of the 20 housemates in the BBNaija 2020 edition made this known during Tuesday’s diary session with Big Brother. This was after Big Brother asked her if she thinks she can win the grand prize of N85 million the show has to offer. The busty lady revealed that she hopes to win the money which she hopes will make her parents have a rethink after they told her not to return home after the show. In a video, Dorothy could be heard begging housemates not to laugh at her b**bs as she was about revealing certain things about herself. According to fans of the show, the most handsome guy in the house is already having his eyes locked on Dorothy despite Nengi trying to make other females know that he’s her property. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://community.thenationonlineng.net/forum/don-t-come-home-after-bbnaija-show-parents-tell-dorothy%3Fxg_source%3Dtwitter&ved=2ahUKEwiU6qeWxfTqAhXP4IUKHeICBlgQFjABegQIBBAB&usg=AOvVaw0H5apk0ig_p1PQJdWzFH8c

Currently, the talk of many online is the recent interaction between Kiddwaya and Nengi. Kiddwaya's move on Nengi has left social media users buzzing. Photo credit: @kiddwaya, @nengi_official, @officialozo Source: Instagram In the presence of Ozo - who likes Nengi and finds her attractive - and Trickytee, Kiddwaya is heard 'toasting' Nengi. After Nengi called his name playfully, he asked her to say her name with his own. What does bomboclaat mean? He then goes on to tell her to pick a finger which she wants his ring on. Kiddwaya doesn't stop there. He goes on to say that he'll get her a ring from London and source for the diamonds in Botswana. Ozo is seen sitting with a small smile on his face while Trickytee proceeds to ask Kiddwaya about his real name. The fact that Kiddwaya who likes Erica and spends most of his time with her said all those things to Nengi in the presence of Ozo who like her, has got social media users buzzing with mixed reactions. While some have tagged him a flirt who is not deserving of Erica's love, others have hailed him for his smoothness and ability to melt the hearts of his female housemates. Only a while ago, Ozo was put on the spot by some housemates with Nengi present. He was asked why he hadn't made a move to spend time with Nengi even though he made it known she was his spec. Ozo in his response admitted that when it comes to physical attributes, Nengi was, in fact, his spec. However, he was closer to Dorathy than any other female housemate. It didn't take long before Ozo went ahead to make his move on Nengi. They recently showed viewers that they may be the next couple in the house. On Friday night, July 24, Ozo and Nengi spoke like very close friends would do in the lounge. They had a conversation amid chuckles and smile before they bade themselves a good night. Just before they left the lounge, the two hugged each other. It should be noted that Dorothy cut his friendship with Ozo off as she claimed that the latter is putting her in a "situation".
