PoliticsSuicide: ''we Are Yet To Receive Any Report Of A Missing Person - Lagos Police by rhonard(op): 5:00pm On Jun 13, 2018
The Lagos state police command says it is yet to receive any report of a missing person four days after someone allegedly jumped into the Lagos lagoon under the third mainland bridge.



On Sunday June 10th, reports were rife on social media that a lady committed suicide by jumping into the Lagoon.



The spokesperson of the state police command, SP Chike Oti, in an interview with LIB this afternoon, said four days after the reported suicide incident, no one has come to the command to say his or her relative was the one that jumped into the river. Oti says the search patrol team is yet to recover the body of any person in the Lagoon.

''No one has come to our office to report that any member of their family is missing or jumped into the lagoon. It is almost four days now and the search patrol in the Lagoon is yet to discover any corpse''Oti said

The police spokesperson called on residents of the state with useful information to come forward with it to help unravel the mystery surrounding the reported suicide incident. He also asked that the man in the SUV on the viral video who reportedly came down from his car to talk the lady who committed suicide, to please come forward and talk to the police so that they can carry out proper investigation.

#5 Argentina
Argentina have selected a strong team that can probably go all the way to win the title. Their recent 6-0 defeat at the hands of Spain explains the need for many tweaks that need to be done in order to function as a well-oiled unit.

Argentina often dominate the tournaments they participate in and somehow fail to clear the hurdle in the final. That has been the case in World Cup 2014, Copa America 2015 and Copa America Centenario 2016

The midfield consists of Lucas Biglia, Ever Banega, Cristian Pavon and Lanzini, whereas the defense has the solid Nicolas Otamendi, Javier Mascherano, Mercado, Federico Fazio and Marcos Rojo.

The attack line consists of lethal strikers like Sergio Aguero and Gonzalo Higuain, who are aided by Messi, Paulo Dybala and Angel di Maria. Lionel Messi helped the Albiceleste qualify for WC2018 by scoring a hat-trick in the final match of CONMEBOL qualifiers. Will Argentina be fourth time lucky?

A lot of other teams like Belgium, Portugal, and England are strong as well, but they are more of dark horses and not genuine contenders considering the depth of the squads.

#4 France
Les Blues have undergone a resurgence in the last three years, with many players coming into the limelight that have shone for their respective clubs.

Even though the French lost the final of Euro 2016 to Portugal courtesy of a late-winner by Eder, they still have enough potential match-winners in their squad who could destroy the opposition on their day.

The major problem for French coach Didier Deschamps has been selecting the team that'll board the plane for Russia because there are too many good players to choose from. They will be raring to go out and win a second title for their countrymen.

The French cavalry will be led by Antoine Griezmann from the front alongside Kylian Mbappe, Olivier Giroud, and Nabil Fekir. The attacking midfield boasts of stars like Paul Pogba and Thomas Lemar, while Blaise Matuidi and N'Golo Kante function as the defensive midfielders. The defense has Raphael Varane and Samuel Umtiti who can give strikers nightmares.

#3 Spain
Spanish football reached its heights in 2010, when they lifted the World Cup riding on some wonderful performances by the star-studded team. Their World Cup win was sandwiched between two Euro titles of 2008 and 2012.

However things went on the decline for La Furia Roja as they lost to Brazil in the Confederations Cup 2013, failed to qualify from the group stage in WC2014 and were knocked out by Italy in Euro 2016 in the round of 16.

However they have managed to build a really strong team that is again a mixture of young and experienced players. They have players like Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba who are experienced stalwarts in their own positions.

Youngsters such as the flamboyant Isco, Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez can make the difference whenever required. Koke, de Gea, Carvajal, Diego Costa and David Silva complete the team roster.

#2 Brazil
Ever since the drubbing 7-1 at the hands of Germany in the semi-finals of World Cup 2014, Brazil have come a long way. Much of the team has changed since then, with a lot of young players bagging a place in the 23-man squad that will represent the team.

The Selecao have been winners of the World Cup on five previous occasions and pose some threat to their opponents, if one considers the firepower they possess in all departments of the team. They finished on the top of the CONMEBOL qualifying group with 41 points, 10 points ahead of second-placed Uruguay.

Brazil will be led by the world-class striker Neymar who can tear down opposition defences with ease. They have the supremely experienced Marcelo and Thiago Silva in the defense.

The creativity in the midfield comes from Phillippe Coutinho and Fred, while Casemiro and Fernandinho are very dependable as defensive midfielders. Firmino and Jesus will join Neymar in the attack, along with Douglas Costa and Willian.

#1 Germany
Mario Gotze broke many Argentinean hearts when he volleyed in Andre Schurrle's cross past Sergio Romero in extra time and won Germany the World Cup in 2014. Die Mannschaft became the first European country to win on American soil.

Germany has become a pool of talent ever since, with some really good youngsters coming out of the country and performing well for their clubs. They look incredibly strong both on paper and on the pitch. Having topped their WC qualifying group, they must have one eye on the title.

They have an exciting team that is a mixture of freshness and experience. Youngsters like Leroy Sane, Joshua Kimmich and Timo Werner have already become household names in world football and much will be expected of them.

Experienced players like Thomas Muller, Marco Reus, Toni Kroos, Mesut Ozil, Mats Hummels, Jerome Boateng and Manuel Neuer will need to take up responsibility for the national team if they desire to retain the trophy.

CrimePaul Achegbulu : Police Uncover Illegal Blood Bank In Lagos, Arrest Suspect by rhonard(op): 10:31am On Jun 13, 2018
A man identified as Paul Achegbulu has been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for running an illegal blood bank in the Bariga area of the state.

Achegbulu was arrested by a team led by Police Commissioner Imohimi Edgal Tuesday after detectives got information that the suspect was draining blood from children in his one-room apartment and selling same to some clinics.

It was gathered that the police team recovered seven pints of blood from his 18, Kusa Bus Stop, Bariga residence.

According to residents, trouble started for the suspect on June 10, after he drew two pints of blood from a 17-year-old boy, Ayomide Adesanya, which made the victim to pass out.
He was said to have also drawn two pints from the same victim on June 4, and on each day, he gave the victim N2, 000.

Imohimi, who also visited Adesanya at the hospital he was admitted after he passed out, told reporters that the suspect lured underage children with the N2, 000 offer, while he confessed that he sold the blood for N7, 000.

He said:

“Adesanya became weak after donating four pints of blood. He collapsed and is currently receiving treatment at the Bariga Hospital.

“The mother told us that the daughter’s friend informed them of Adesanya’s condition after she saw him on a bike.”

But the suspect said he did not know Adesanya was underage, adding that the victim told him he was 20-year-old.

“It was when his parents came to confront me that I knew he was 17. He told me he was 20. I am a lab scientist. I was trained five years ago at Nigerian Institute of Laboratory Science Technology.

“Lab technicians from hospitals used to come and buy blood from me. I used to sell the blood through my assistant, Alfa. He’s the one who knows the hospitals he sold to. I do not know where he is at the moment.”

SportsRe: Some Facts You Should Know About The Champions League Final by rhonard(op): 7:20pm On May 25, 2018
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool booked their place in the Champions League final after a 7-6 aggregate victory against Roma.

The showpiece against Real Madrid in Kiev later this month will mark Klopp’s seventh final as a manager.

Klopp won his first, after Borussia Dortmund dismantled Bayern Munich 5-2 in the 2012 German Cup, but the Liverpool boss has lost all five of his subsequent finals since.

Here, Press Association Sport looks back at the German’s rather unwanted record.

2013 Champions League – Borussia Dortmund 1 Bayern Munich 2

Arjen Robben scored in the 89th minute as Bayern Munich overcame Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund in a thrilling all-Bundesliga encounter at Wembley. Robben played his part in Bayern’s opener as he set up Mario Mandzukic to score on the hour. Dortmund hit back through Ilkay Gundogan’s penalty, but Robben had the final say as he latched on to Franck Ribery’s flick before beating goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller in the penultimate minute.

2014 German Cup – Borussia Dortmund 0 Bayern Munich 2 (aet)

Klopp’s side had handed a 3-0 beating to Pep Guardiola’s Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga only weeks earlier, but the now Manchester City manager had the last laugh after his team ran out winners following extra time. The final was goalless after 90 minutes, but that man Robben and Thomas Muller struck to send Klopp to a second defeat in as many finals.

2015 German Cup – Borussia Dortmund 1 Wolfsburg 3

Dortmund beat Bayern Munich on penalties in their last-four German Cup clash, but came unstuck against Wolfsburg in the final. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring for Dortmund after five minutes, but Wolfsburg responded with three goals in 16 devastating first-half minutes – with City’s Kevin De Bruyne among the scorers – to end Klopp’s Dortmund reign with yet another final defeat.

2016 League Cup – Liverpool 1 Manchester City 1 (Liverpool lost on penalties)

In only his fourth month in charge at the Anfield club, Klopp had the chance to change his poor run in finals, but there was an all-too-familiar story for the German after Liverpool lost on penalties. Philippe Coutinho cancelled out Fernandinho’s opener, but Coutinho, Lucas and Adam Lallana all missed from the spot as City won the shootout 3-1.

2016 Europa League – Liverpool 1 Sevilla 3

Another final, but another defeat for Klopp. Liverpool had beaten Klopp’s former side Dortmund and fierce rivals Manchester United en route to the showpiece in Basel, but suffered a second-half collapse in a 3-1 defeat to Sevilla. Daniel Sturridge scored for the Reds after 35 minutes, but Kevin Gameiro levelled after the break before Koke scored twice to condemn Klopp to his fifth loss in five consecutive finals.

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, have arrested two suspected fraudsters for defrauding a victim of N31, 000,000 (Thirty One Million Naira only) in the guise of making "money medicine" for him.



The suspects: Balogun Olumide Ojo and Augustine Opaso were arrested in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

One of the suspects, Ojo was arrested at the Reception hall of Presidential Hotel, Port Harcourt where he was waiting to collect more money from the victim.


Investigation by the EFCC showed that the suspects were operating in Port Harcourt and Akungba, Ondo State. Ojo confessed that they were operating a shrine in Akungba where " special money-making prayers" were being offered. A search was conducted at the shrine by the EFCC and different kinds of images and spiritual items were recovered. The suspects also confessed that money was paid into their bank accounts by the victim and in some cases, cash was collected from him to purchase materials needed for the money medicine.

The suspects would be charged to court soon.

SportsEgypt Team To Decide On Fasting For World Cup Build-up by rhonard(op): 4:33pm On May 24, 2018
Egypt captain and goalkeeper Essam El Hadary says the squad will meet to decide as whole whether to fast in accordance with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Ramadan this year falls as teams prepare for the World Cup with training camps and friendly matches.

Ramadan, a month when Muslims do not eat or drink from sunrise to sunset, began on 16 May and is due to end just as the World Cup begins.

"We will hold a meeting as a players in the next few days then we will tell the technical staff about our decision," the 45-year-old El Hadary said.

The seven-time African champions play Kuwait in a friendly this weekend before further matches against Colombia and Belgium.

They then kick-off their Group A World Cup campaign on 15 June against Uruguay followed by games with hosts Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Team's director Ihab Leheta pointed out that there would be no influence from the coaching staff on the players' final decision.

"The fasting is up to the players, if they want to do it, the coach won't blame them, let us wait and see what the players will decide," he said.

The Pharaohs' Argentine coach Hector Cuper is aware of how big an issue this is.

"Fasting is the most important issue now, I am afraid that it could badly affect the players at the World Cup," he said.

"I don't think the travelling during the friendly matches will leave them exhausted, I'm just trying to prepare them well for the matches."

If the players do decide to fast Cuper has made plans to employ specialists to help organise eating and sleep patterns during Ramadan.

HealthMetrodelta Communities Decry Alleged Killing Of 33 People By Oil Spillage by rhonard(op): 7:08pm On May 23, 2018
No fewer than 33 persons have been feared killed in 50 communities in Delta state following oil spillage in the areas.

DAILY POST gathered that the devastating oil spillage, apart from the havoc it wreaked on the people’s sources of drinking water, their farmlands, and the killing of their fish(es), worried residents in the affected area have fled their homes for fear of more trouble.

Our correspondent gathered that the incident occurred on the 24 inches Trans Ramos crude oil pipelines,owned by Shell petroleum Development company in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State, and destroyed over 25,000 hectares of farmlands including crops.

Worse hit is Odomodi community among others in Burutu Local Government Area, who are now battling devastating erosion menace.

But Mr Julius Pondi, member representing Burutu 1 constituency at the state House of Assembly who spoke to DAILY POST in Asaba said ,” We at the state House of Assembly are very sad. We sympathise with the people, especially the families of those affected, though shell had put measures in place to contain the spread to other part of the state, and also recover crude oil from the damaged pipelines, the spillage has polluted the entire area, destroyed aquatic life which had made fishing the major occupation of the people impossible’.’

He decried the situation that the report of the joint investigative report consisting of shell, Directorate of petroleum Resources (DPR), and the National oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDR) on the spillage was yet to be made public and emphasized the need for the JIV report to be released,

The lawmaker, however, stressed that the spillage was not as a result of Sabotage, but due to equipment failure on the part of shell, hence the company was trying to avoid its responsibility to the community.

While expressing worries that multinational oil companies have always devised means of shortchanging communities whenever a spillage occurs, the lawmaker said Shell was yet to meet with the communities to discuss with them and assuage their plight

“I call on Shell to immediately provide relief materials and medicals to all the affected communities, it is rather unfortunate that there is a problem at present,” the lawmaker added.

Mr Dere Potoki,Youth President of Odimodi community, one of the affected communities, who spoke to DAILY POST said, ” The spillage occurred in four different points on the crude oil pipelines since April 24, 2018. The action of Shell up until now had not been impressive to us. Imagine over 33 persons are presumed dead, they can’t talk, Shell is more concerned about how to recover crude oil from the damaged pipelines without thinking of providing relief materials to the affected others, we will not take this.”

In a swift reaction, some officials of Shell in Warri who spoke to DAILY POST on condition of anonymity said, ” Management is making efforts to assist, and provide materials for the affected communities and relations of the seriously affected people. It’s painful and not true we have neglected them. We are taking our time to assist them.”

PoliticsAjimobi Asks For Refund Of N33bn Expended On Federal Roads by rhonard(op): 6:33pm On May 23, 2018
The Oyo State Government has asked the federal government to refund N33 billion it expended on reconstruction and rehabilitation of federal roads within the state.

Governor Abiola Ajimobi called for the refund in Ibadan, while receiving a federal government’s delegation to the state, led by the Minister of State for Power, Works and Housing, Suleiman Zarma.

The delegation was on a one-day working tour of federal government projects in the state.

Mr Ajimobi, represented by Olalekan Alli, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), said the first four years of his administration was committed to road construction and rehabilitation.

He stated that a huge amount was expended on the projects and the money had yet to be refunded by the Federal Ministry of Works.

Mr Ajimobi said the funds expended should at the completion of the projects be released to the states through the ministry in charge.

The governor called for speedy completion of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway under reconstruction as well as the Oyo-Ogbomosho expressway, which had claimed several lives.

He noted that some workers of the state government recently died in an accident on the road while on official duty.

“Roads in some parts of the state such as Iseyin-Okeho, Iseyin-Baasi-Ago-Are, Oyo-Iseyin and Saki Polytechnic and Saki Junction-Agric roads are all begging for urgent federal government intervention,” he said.

Mr Ajimobi said that the state government would have embarked on the rehabilitation of the roads which he said were of economic importance to the state, but for paucity of fund.



He, however, called on the federal government to hand over the maintenance of all federal roads in the country to the respective state governments.

The governor reiterated his administration’s support for the ongoing national housing projects in Ogbomosho and Ibadan.

He stated that the additional land requested by the Federal Ministry of Housing for the second phase of the housing project had been approved.

Mr Ajimobi said that the necessary land documentation in terms of titles for both phases would be made available.

Earlier, Mr Zarma appreciated the state government’s hospitality, saying the delegation had visited Ekiti and Osun before visiting Oyo State.

He gave the assurance that the federal government was committed to completing its road projects across the country.

Mr Zarma said ongoing federal government’s projects across the country were to improve commerce and bring the nation out of recession.

CrimeI Give Ladies Free Ride With My Company’s Car, Just To Rob Them – Driver by rhonard(op): 9:33am On May 18, 2018
The Lagos State police command has arrested a 42-year-old driver, John Ololo, and his partners in crime who used to give stranded ladies lift in order to rob them. .
.
According to Newtelegraph, Ololo also confessed that he used the money made from the robberies to augment his monthly salary. The suspect was arrested alongside his gang members, Augustine Emmanuel (21) and Anayo Oluchwku (25). .

Police said that the gang used to rob ladies returning from clubs of their phones and other valuables. After Ololo conceived the idea of using his company’s car to rob, he recruited Emmanuel and Oluchwku. .
.
Whatever money made during operations was shared equally. He said: “My boss usually allows me to take the car home because of where I live. There was always the need to drive to my boss’ home to pick him.
.
.
I have been taking the car home for about a year now. Sometimes, when I’m going to the office, I pick passengers along the way. Our modus operandi is to dress well and go to any club. .
.
After clubbing, we would offer ladies free ride; we usually pick two ladies. Once they enter, one of us would bring out a toy gun and threaten to shoot them. We would dispossess them of their valuables. .
.
I have collected many phones from ladies since I started this operation. My monthly salary is N65,000. Unfortunately, the salary is not enough. That was why I decided to use the car to rob. .
.
The money I make from robberies is to supplement my salary.” On his part, Oluchkwu said: “Unfortunately, last Saturday, we were returning from one of the clubs when policemen arrested us at Lekki roundabout.” .
.
Augustine said: “When Ololo brought the idea, I didn’t know we would be arrested so soon. It was greed that made me to follow him. I have not been involved in robbery before.”

PoliticsBolanle Ambode Gives Couple With Quintuplets N500,000 Monthly Allowance by rhonard(op): 11:19am On May 17, 2018
Mrs. Bolanle Ambode, who is the wife of the Governor of Lagos State, has come to the aid of a woman who reportedly gave birth to a set of quintuplets in Lagos. The first lady of the state offered to give the family a monthly allowance of N500, 000 for the next twelve months, for the care of the babies.

The couple, Mr. and Mrs. Augustine Obiefuna of Orile Iganmu, a suburb of the State were reported to have been filled with so much joy and appreciation at this largess by the wife of the governor.

Quintuplets are five babies born from one pregnancy.

Other welfare arrangements by the Governor’s wife for the newborns include: supply of diapers for one year; supply of baby milk and other essentials for one year, all these in addition to two bus-loads of baby essentials like beds, mattresses, diapers, boxes of cloths, socks, pants, caps, etc, that accompanied her on a visit to the infants, at the Lagos Island Maternity.

Governor Akinwunmi Ambode also gave an undisclosed sum of money, for the care of the babies; three boys and two girls, who weighed between 1.5kg and 2kg respectively.

Speaking at the maternity ward, the Governor’s wife who was visibly elated and brimming with smiles, thanked God for the safe delivery of the infants and commended their mother, for regularly attending her ante-natal sessions in a government hospital.

She urged expectant mothers in the State to shun quacks and self medication, but to register early and diligently attend ante-natal clinics in government hospitals, for standard medical care.

According to her:

“You can all see why it is good to register in a government hospital where standard medical care is guaranteed. This woman registered early and regularly attended her ante-natal clinics. The result is that all five babies were safely delivered to the glory of God”.

She commended the entire medical team, especially the Consultant, Dr. Ogungbemile Babalola, for their professional service, stressing that the government would always prioritize health care service for expectant mothers, to eradicate maternal and infant mortality in the State.

Mrs. Ambode, who later inspected the maternity ward, promised further donations to the hospital, to strengthen maternal and infant service delivery in the hospital.

Father of the babies, Mr. Augustine Obiefuna, copiously thanked the Governor and his wife, for their rare benevolence and generosity, which according to him transcended ethnic and tribal considerations.

He said:

“We are surprised that despite being non indigenes of the State, the Governor and his wife could show us so much love and kindness. They are just wonderful. We never imagined that Her Excellency could personally come here to see our new babies. We cannot stop praying for them and their children, for God’s favour, protection and wisdom at all times.”

It the first set of quintuplets born in the State this year.

PoliticsHealth Strike: 'president Buhari’s Refusal To Act Is The Height Of Insensitivity by rhonard(op): 5:32pm On May 15, 2018
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the refusal by President Muhammadu Buhari to address the devastating strike action by health workers across the country, is a clear manifestation of his insensitivity to the plight and suffering of Nigerians.

We lament the anguish of hundreds of Nigerians who are abandoned and dying by the day in our public hospitals, just because President Buhari and his dysfunctional All Progressives Congress (APC) attach no importance to issues that concern the average Nigerian.

Is it not the height of insensitivity that while Nigerians in dire need of medical attention are languishing, President Buhari abandoned them without any form of intervention and embarked on medical tourism in London with our common patrimony?

As if that was not enough, upon his return to Nigeria, instead of summoning an emergency meeting of critical stakeholders to find solution to the problem, Mr. President abandoned the striking health workers and chose to organize and attend a political rally in Jigawa state for a doomed 2019 re-election bid.

Such aloofness by the government is directly responsible for the escalation of killings and bloodletting in Benue, Taraba, Adamawa, Plateau, Kogi, Zamfara, Borno, Yobe, Kaduna states and others parts of the country, where marauders and insurgents are pillaging our citizens as if overlooking the plight of Nigerians has become a state policy.

In the PDP, the health, security and welfare of Nigerians remain pivotal to us and that is why we feel pained that compatriots are dying in their numbers because of the refusal of the Buhari-led APC administration to address the health workers’ strike.

The PDP, therefore, stands with Nigerians at this critical time. We identify with the sick and those who have lost their loved ones under this present circumstance and urge all public-spirited individuals, humanitarian organizations and the international community to come to the aid of our nation, since it has become clear that the Buhari administration has no agenda for the health sector.

Furthermore, while we plead with the health workers to be open to ways to solve the problem, we charge Nigerians to support one another and adhere to all health etiquettes to forestall an outbreak of epidemic and health crisis.

Finally, the world have now seen why Nigerians have reached a consensus not to allow this insensitive and anti-people APC administration to continue beyond 2019.

PoliticsA New Era Of Community Empowerment In Enugu State... The Pen League by rhonard(op): 5:21pm On May 15, 2018
Things have changed in Enugu State. It is no longer business as usual, the top-down approach with little regard to the needs of the people, the exaltation of the urban guerrillas, a dictatorship, not of the masses, but of the para-juntas, mostly self-appointed chiefs without coronation. A community-centred and grassroots-oriented empowerment programme has been enthroned.

All over Africa democracy has been government of the rich, by the rich and for the rich: a well-structured plutocracy masquerading as democracy forgetting that the root word “demos” in the original word stands for people.

One of the first things Chief Dr Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi did on assumption of office as Governor of Enugu State was to democratize our democracy. Each of the over 450 autonomous communities in Enugu State was told to select five projects to be executed in their communities and write them in their order of priority, the first is a legacy project that will not only transform the lives of the people in the community now but will benefit generations yet unborn.

This was not only historic, it was innovative, catalytic and salutary.

The first community development project is a community project chosen by the people and capable of speeding up development in all other sectors of the community. Prior to now, what was in practice was pick a project, take your cut and dump it on the community. Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu would turn in his grave with happiness and gratitude that at last the urban guerrillas and all the self-appointed chiefs even without umunna or a kindred have been dumped in the ESWEMA landfill sites for good, no ten per cent upfront commission paid to anybody for parading the corridors of power.

This singular initiative by Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State of ‘one community, one project’ instilled the real meaning of democracy in the people of the state: it truly became government of the people, by the people and for the people. Again for the first time democracy became participatory, not in word, but in deed. The choice and execution of the project was left entirely to the people.



Igwe of the community automatically began to live the true meaning of his title as “Igwe na-ezoro Oha’, the heaven that drops the rain for everyone. In addition the befitting epithet of “Nnaanyi” was added to the Igwe as a true father in fact, the man through his agency the community received the benefaction of the government, a tranche of N10m (ten million naira) in two instalments for a project of their choice in their community. Also a new synergy developed between the traditional ruler and the president of the town union.

Governor Ugwuanyi’s novel approach to community development has a medicinal value. State capitals and other cities around them in Nigeria have been blighted by abandoned projects. No project in any of the recipient communities that has been given the first five million naira (N5m) or the first and the second totaling ten million (N10m) should be allowed to be abandoned whether carried out by a contractor or executed through direct labour.

While the Millennium Development Goals did not attain their set goals in the world by 2015 as envisaged in the year 2000, the Sustainable Development Goal is hitting its critical target in Enugu State. Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has empowered the first and second batches of trainees totaling 750 from the seventeen local governments in Enugu State by giving everyone that has completed the training the seed money to start their own business and not flock to Enugu, the capital city, in search of jobs.

After one year from now, the government should audit all the projects to ensure that each one of them has been executed to specification and in record time. Anything short of absolute completion is not good enough and should be regarded as economic sabotage capable of being referred the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) for the prosecution of offenders.

SportsRe: Premier League Opens Transfer Window This Week by rhonard(m): 10:46am On May 15, 2018
BlackManta:
Liverpool should replace Coutinho.
Our midfield is litterd with many central midfielders.
The only creative midfielder we have (Milner and Lalana) cant be considered to be long term options.
Milner is almost 33 and Lalana has injury problems.

Nabil Fekir would be a dream signing.
He is the only realistic signing that can fill the void left by Coutinho.

We cound also sign a partner for Keita.
I dont trust Henderson.... and Emre Can is about to join Juventus.
That leaves us with only Wijnaldum and an injured Chamberlain.

I hope we sign Jorginho.
Ruben Neves is another option but i dont want a potential player.
We need a proven player and that man is Jorginho.

Modric is about to leave Madrid.
We could make a swoop.

Finally, we need a partner for Van Dijk.
Lovren is good but inconsistent and prone to errors.
Koulibaly is my dream signing.
That man is a rock in Napoli defence.

I hope we sign Allison too.
Mig's future at Liverpool looks bleak and Karuis needs a stonger competition.
Allison will do.

YNWA

And remember, Klopp, dont let Madrid get their filthy shirt on Salah.
Salah is going nowhere.
He remains at Liverpool.
your mouth sweet, are the coach?
