SportsInside Aubameyang's ₦11b Mansion That Features A ₦2.5b Underground Garage (Pics) by WriterNig(op): 3:13pm On Dec 21, 2021

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has spent some of his £350,000-a-week salary on building a £15m luxury new mansion for his family in North London.

The Arsenal captain, 32, tore down an old 1930s house and built an incredible home on the land.

His house also boasts a £3m underground carpark that can be accessed by a car lift.

It seems Aubameyang spared no expense having committed his future to the Gunners in 2020.

The Gabon star's pad comes complete with an incredible fitness suite in the basement.

As well as a gym, Aubameyang commissioned a pool, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna.

The property also consists of 'extensive living and entertainment spaces' (above) and features a built-in wine cellar and safe room.

And if that wasn't enough, there is also a bar and wine cellar built-in.

Upstairs, there are seven bedrooms in the luxury pad, a safe room and 'extensive entertaining and living spaces'.

The property backs on to an empty field, ensuring Aubameyang, wife Alysha and his two sons - Pierre Jr, four, and Curtys, nine - don't have their views spoiled.

One of the biggest features in the new home will be the garage.

The ex-Borussia Dortmund star - who could be stripped of the Gunners captaincy after his latest disciplinary breach - is famous for his impressive car collection.

Aubamayeng built the property where an obsolete 1930s home once sat.

His garage is now worth around £3million and includes a rare £2m Ferrari LaFerrari, a stunning £150k Range Rover Sport and a £250k Aston Martin DB9 Volante 2.

And to keep them safe, Aubameyang has installed an underground car-park.

Better still, the parking area is accessed via CAR-LIFT.

According to the architects, Lees Munday, the home is 'inspired by Cotswold stone manor houses of Cider With Rosie country and the simple white rendered forms of contemporary New England houses in the USA.

The house also features an impressive sauna and steam room for himself and his family.

The description continues: "Our design seeks to combine the desire for a pitched roofed and columned silhouette that symbolises 'home'.

"[It also adds] the growing trend for more contemporary features, particularly larger areas of glass to give more light and closer contact with the garden and views.

"The pillared two-storey bays and double height entrance facade create a grand impression down a discrete private driveway approach.

"[It] passes through four small landscaped 'external rooms', each containing a gigantic antique cast iron urn.

"The basement leisure suite provides a luxurious pool, Jacuzzi, bar, sauna, steam room and gym, opening out onto a landscaped lightwell."

SportsFC Porto Club Pays A Witch Doctor ₦110m A Year To Help Them Win The League (Pix) by WriterNig(op): 6:24pm On Dec 17, 2021
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/12/17/13/51919617-10321045-image-m-16_1639746455088.jpg
Porto president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa (pictured) is claimed to have hired a witch doctor.

- Reports in Portugal claim Porto hired a witch doctor as an official employee.

- President Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa is reportedly using Madalena Aroso's skills.

- Aroso is said to be on a monthly wage of £13,000, equating to £156,000 (₦110 million) a year.

- The move has sparked anger among supporters given the extortionate salary.


Porto are paying a witch doctor to help secure the Portuguese league title, according to reports in Portugal four years after rivals Benfica were thought to do the same.

It is claimed Madalena Aroso was hired by club president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa as a club employee five months ago, officially as a 'doctor'.

And as reported by Abola, Aroso is being paid £13,000 a month by the Portuguese giants, which equates to a whopping £156,000 a year.

https://firstsportz.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/IMG_20201004_220218-1.jpg
Pictured: Porto FC former left back Alex Telles.

The claims have sparked widespread anger among fans, as the witch doctor would be the highest-paid employee at the club by a significant distance, amid club attempts to keep up with Financial Fair Play rules.

Aroso, apparently a 'clairvoyant' who can read the future and predict match results, was reportedly put on the books this summer, to help Porto reclaim the Primeira Liga title from Sporting Lisbon, who won it the previous campaign.

Sergio Conceicao's unbeaten side are currently top of the league with 14 of 34 matches played, ahead of Sporting only on goal difference, with Benfica four points back.

Back in 2017, Porto's communications director Francisco J. Marques accused then-Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira - who has since resigned following his arrest relating to tax fraud - of using witchcraft to help them win the league.

Marques alleged Vieira paid Dr Armando Nhaga, the 'National Police Commissioner of Guinea-Bissau', £65,000 to secure the championship.

https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/12/17/13/51921041-10321045-image-a-18_1639746561658.jpg
Back in 2017, Porto communications director Francisco J. Marques accused then-Benfica president Luis Filipe Vieira (pictured) of using witchcraft to help them win the Primeira Liga.

Marques said: 'What are you creating an octopus for? Creating this monster that allows everything to Benfica and nothing to others, and for witchcraft?... I can say this is the biggest scandal in Portuguese football to come.'

Benfica won the Primeira Liga and Portuguese Cup that season, but there is, clearly, no evidence the two matters are correlated.

Portuguese football has had a long historical association with the occult, with Delane Vieira claimed to have released two frogs into a Vienna Stadium to help Porto win the Champions League (then called the European Cup) in 1987.

There are also anecdotal reports of a 'Fafe Witcher' being paid by Benfica fans to help them win the title - he later claimed he was paid £170,000 following their Primeira Liga triumph.

CrimeChina's New ‘Laser’ Gun Can Silently Burn Through Flesh From 0.8km Away (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 9:38am On Dec 15, 2021

Elon Musk’s flamethrowers are mere playthings compared to this lethal new laser rifle.

Chinese scientists at the Xian Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics have developed a fully functioning prototype of the “ZKZM-500 laser assault rifle.”

The 15mm caliber weapon is being compared to an AK-47 because of its similar 6.6-lb weight, but it’s firepower capabilities sound like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.

According to researchers who wish to remain anonymous, the ZKZM-500 fires an energy beam undetectable to the human eye that can pass through glass and cause the “instant carbonization” of human flesh from half a mile away.

“The pain will be beyond endurance,” one researcher said. “[It can] burn through clothes in a split second. If the fabric is flammable, the whole person will be set on fire”.

“Nobody will know where the attack came from,” another anonymous researcher added. “It will look like an accident.”

Each will cost $15,000 to manufacture at large-scale production and can fire 1,000 “shots” on a single charge from a lithium ion battery.

Though it clearly has deadly potential, the ZKZM-500 also has “non-lethal” applications.

The Southern China Morning Post has further details:

In the event of a hostage situation it could be used to fire through windows at targets and temporarily disable the kidnappers while other units move in to rescue their captives.

It could also be used in covert military operations. The beam is powerful enough to burn through a gas tank and ignite the fuel storage facility in a military airport.

The lasers cannot kill a target with a single shot, but if fired at a person for long enough the weapons would start to burn a hole in their body, cutting through them like a surgical knife.

Anti-terrorism squads in the Chinese Armed Police will likely be the first to test these laser guns in the field.

Your move, Elon.

All internal, external transactions and procedures in the Government of Dubai are now 100 per cent digital and managed from a comprehensive digital government services platform.

Dubai has become the world's first government to turn 100 per cent paperless, the Emirate's Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, has announced, pointing at savings of 1.3 billion Dirham (USD 350 million) and 14-million-man hours.

All internal, external transactions and procedures in the Government of Dubai are now 100 per cent digital and managed from a comprehensive digital government services platform.

"The achievement of this target marks the beginning of a new stage in Dubai's journey to digitise life in all its aspects - a journey rooted in innovation, creativity, and a focus on the future," said Sheikh Hamdan in a statement on Saturday.

"This accomplishment also reinforces Dubai's status as a world-leading digital capital and its status as a role model in designing government operations and services that enhance customer happiness," he said.

https://cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/styles/story_page/public/2021/12/13/226376-dubai-1.jpg

The US, UK, Europe and Canada have expressed plans to digitise government operation on a larger scale, which encompass government procedures and citizen identifications. However, sceptics have argues its vulnerability to cyber attacks.

The Dubai Crown Prince said the government plans to implement advanced strategies to create and enhance digital life in Dubai over the next five decades.

"The new phase of Dubai's digital journey will enable and empower future governments to meet the expectations of the residents of a thriving smart city and provide them with renewed opportunities for prosperity, sustainable development, and happiness," he said.

The Dubai Paperless Strategy was implemented in five consecutive phases, each of which enlisted a different group of the Dubai Government's entities.

By the end of the fifth phase, the strategy was fully implemented across all 45 government entities in the emirate.

These entities provide more than 1,800 digital services and over 10,500 key transactions.

https://scwcontent.affino.com/AcuCustom/Sitename/DAM/025/Downtown_Dubai_smart_cities_Adobe_rt.jpg

Collaboration and integration among participating entities enabled the automation of processes and services provided to customers, cutting paper consumption by more than 336 million papers, the statement added.

The strategy also helped save more than 1.3 billion Dirham (USD 350 million) and over 14-million-man hours across the Dubai Government.

The complete digital transformation in the Dubai Government will enrich the smart city experience for all residents, entirely removing the need for paper transactions and documents - be they handed out to customers or exchanged between employees across government entities.

Digitalisation will also help provide exceptional experiences for residents through the DubaiNow application, which allows access to more than 130 smart city services in 12 major categories, it added

CrimeMan Sentenced To Death For Smuggling 'SQUID GAME' Film Into North Korea (Pix) by WriterNig(op): 6:01pm On Nov 24, 2021
https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltbc1876152fcd9f07/blt98d37a38a8330208/619e2fa9dc34e960f195840c/squid.jpg

A North Korean man has reportedly been sentenced to death by firing squad. His crime? Smuggling copies of the hit Netflix show Squid Game into the country on USB drives and SD cards.

According to a report from Radio Free Asia (via Kotaku), the man believed to be behind smuggling the show into North Korea has been apprehended and will be punished in the most extreme manner.

Sources also tell the network that a student who purchased a USB drive containing the show has been handed a life sentence, while six others who simply watched the show are to serve five years of hard labour. Staff at the school have also been fired, and could be sent to work in the mines.

“This all started last week when a high school student secretly bought a USB flash drive containing the South Korean drama Squid Game and watched it with one of his best friends in class,” a source in North Hamgyong province's law enforcement told RFA. “The friend told several other students, who became interested, and they shared the flash drive with them.”

Ultimately, it seems government censors received an anonymous tip and harsh action was taken against everyone involved.

https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/2054155cd35848d06117e47d8bea7c22d9111b31/0_190_3714_2229/master/3714.jpg?width=1020&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=a6cebd079d9ede180219cadf09d549d7

What exactly is the problem with Squid Game in North Korea, then? Earlier this month, The Washington Post reported on a state-run North Korean website that claims the Netflix series, created by South Korean director Hwang Dong-hyuk, depicts an “unequal society where the strong exploit the weak” and brandishes it a reflection of the “South Korean capitalist society where mankind is annihilated by extreme competition". They're not fans, then.

It's not just Squid Game, though. It remains illegal for any North Korean citizen to watch any South Korean media. In January this year, North Korea introduced tough new laws against enjoying South Korean entertainment, with punishments that can range from fines and up to 15 years in a prison camp all the way through to the death penalty.

“Law enforcement is not playing around with the new law, and they are fiercely trying to root out every instance of capitalist culture,” a source previously told RFA.

SportsKarim Benzema Gets 1-Year Prison Sentence, ₦45m Fine Over Sex Tape Blackmail by WriterNig(op): 11:56am On Nov 24, 2021
https://e0.365dm.com/21/11/768x432/skysports-karim-benzema-real-madrid_5593646.jpg?20211124091605

Real Madrid and France forward, Karim Benzema was found guilty of being complicit in a criminal plot against his former France international team-mate.

Karim Benzema has been given a one-year suspended prison sentence after being found guilty of blackmailing his former France international team-mate Mathieu Valbuena.
The Real Madrid striker has also been fined €75,000 for his role in the criminal scheme.

Benzema stood trial last month for his role in former Lyon and France team-mate Valbuena being blackmailed over a sex tape ahead of a friendly against Armenia five years ago.


What has been said?

Benzema's lawyer said they would appeal the decision: "We are quite flabbergasted by this judgment. An appeal is necessary. He will be exonerated at the height of this appeal."

The striker had denied any involvement in the incident.

https://cdn.idntimes.com/content-images/community/2021/05/3122065-63997028-2560-1440-de2bef183abe3a2f02d43b7c4a01e743-bd18bb3369b11191b7b3852d69312f2e.jpg

What happened?

Blackmailers threatened to release a sex tape in which Valbuena appeared unless they were paid off, and Benzema encouraged his former team-mate to pay the group.

However, Valbuena alerted authorities instead of dealing with the blackmailers directly, and Benzema was exiled from the France national team once his role in the scandal came to light.

Didier Deschamps eventually recalled the 33-year-old ahead of the summer's European Championship.

Benzema, who labelled the charges a "masquerade" and did not turn up to court and thus was tried in absentia, could have faced up to five years in prison for the charges.

Valbuena, who attended the trial, explained his motives in informing the authorities of his old France's team-mate's scheme.

He said during the trial in October: "When he [Benzema] told me he wanted to talk to me, I did not think he would talk to me about that. When I had that conversation, I came out of the room, I was shocked. I felt that he insisted that I meet with a person who was to act as an intermediary. He was very insistent."

Lionel Messi was keeping toasty as he watched Harry Potter with his family.

The Paris Saint-Germain star couldn't get any closer to a roaring fire as he laid out for film night in the French capital.

His wife Antonella uploaded a clip of the six-time Ballon d'Or winner watching the film with two of his sons, asking: "Is anybody a little cold?"

Messi's head was propped up by a cushion with his feet close to the fire.

And it's no surprise Harry Potter was Family Messi's choice for the evening.

CrimeU.S Woman Who Killed Her Mother And Hid Corpse In Suitcase Is Re-Arrested (Pics) by WriterNig(op): 10:57am On Nov 04, 2021
https://wgntv.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2015/02/heathermack1.jpg

A U.S woman and Oak Park native Heather Mack was arrested upon her return to the Chicago area Wednesday after being released from an Indonesian prison, where she served time for helping to kill her mother, stuffing the body in a suitcase.

Mack, 26, was released from prison on Friday after serving seven years and two months of a 10-year sentence. Her then-boyfriend, who was also convicted in the killing, was sentenced to 18 years and remains in prison.

She was taken into custody again as soon as she landed.

Mack originally planned to go to Los Angeles with her 6-year-old daughter Stella before returning to Chicago, but the FBI told her she would instead have to return directly to Chicago.

Mack and her previous boyfriend Tommy Schaefer now face federal charges of conspiracy to commit murder and obstruction of justice.

https://cdn.abcotvs.com/dip/images/673829_042115-ap-bali-img.jpg?w=1280&r=16%3A9

In the federal indictment unsealed Wednesday, prosecutors allege Mack and Schaefer planned the murder while still in the U.S. before carrying out the plot in Bali.

Mack will remain in federal custody until at least next Wednesday after appearing in a Chicago courtroom today.

Speaking to the I-Team's Chuck Goudie, U.S. Attorney John Lausch said the 2017 indictment remained sealed until her return to Chicago Wednesday.

"It's a flat out witch hunt," said Mack's attorney Brian Claypool. "The U.S. attorneys are indicting Heather Mack for a crime that she was already prosecuted for in Indonesia."

But is it? Convicted of helping to kill her mother while traveling with her in Bali, the crimes she and Schaefer are now accused of occurred, at least in part, while still in the United States.
