But he came out fighting in his Friday press conference, saying his past successes mean he is not compared fairly to rival managers like Jurgen Klopp and Mauricio Pochettino.

The Northern Youths for Peace and Security, NYPS, yesterday endorsed Senate President, Bukola Saraki, as their “choicest” candidate for the number one seat in the country in the forthcoming general elections. The leader of the group, Salisu Magaji, disclosed this at a press conference in Jalingo, capital of Taraba State, after a meeting with key northern youths. Magaji said that the decision of the group was based on its conviction that the present leadership in the country had failed woefully and Saraki is the most credible person with what it takes to salvage Nigeria from its present abysmal state. The peace ambassador insisted that Saraki’s track records as the Kwara State governor and his mature handling of the senate as president has made him a highly coveted candidate that the People’s Democratic Party PDP and Nigerians generally should trust with the mandate to save the nation. “Gentlemen of the press. We are here as the Northern Youths for Peace and Security to en...

Nigeria is home to the highest number of “very poor people” in the world, Theresa May, prime minister of the United Kingdom, has said. Speaking in Cape Town, South Africa, on Tuesday, May said Africa is home to a majority of the world’s fragile states, and a quarter of the world’s displaced people. “Much of Nigeria is thriving, with many individuals enjoying the fruits of a resurgent economy, yet 87 million Nigerians live below $1 and 90 cents a day, making it home to more very poor people than any other nation in the world,” the UK prime minister said.

David Okorogheye, a student of Starfield College, Fagba, Iju, Lagos wrote the May/June 2018 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), with high hopes that he will pass with flying colours and be granted admission into a university. With the release of 2018 UTME/WASSCE examination results, he produced an excellent performance and did well in his examinations. His parents, classmates and close associates believed that he would secure an automatic admission or that his name would be in the merit list of his chosen university, the University of Lagos, Akoka (UNILAG). However they were wrong.  Despite producing a sterling performance in both examinations, David Okorogheye was denied admission by the University of Lagos on the account of his age. Just like other universities in Nigeria, the University of Lagos has a criteria that every candidate must be 16 years before he/she can be offered admission...

Mourhino is surely a successful manager with serials proven records but in recent years he lacked players  unlike his old fighters or called them Mourinho warriors  John Terry,  Drogba,  Lampard,  Essien,  Milito. Lucio, Samuel,  Maicon, Wesley Sneijder and others. Obviously these are the players that played for him. His current players lack the winning mentality and they have sets him 7 unwanted records. 1.

Manchester - Manchester United slumped to a second consecutive defeat on Monday to intensify the pressure on manager Jose Mourinho as Harry Kane and a Lucas Moura double moved Tottenham joint top of the Premier League with 3-0 win at Old Trafford. United now trail Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea by six points and stand four adrift of champions Manchester City just three games into the new campaign. The odds on Mourinho losing his job have been slashed in recent weeks as he has clashed with the club's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward over a lack of signings. Mourinho's anger at not being given the funds to boost his centre-back options was exacerbated by the poor showing of Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof in a disastrous defensive showing at Brighton last weekend. Both paid for that performance by being dropped as Mourinho made six changes in all, although Alexis Sanchez was still left on the bench. After a week in which Mourinho's ability to turn the tide of ...

Manchester - Jose Mourinho insists he is only interested in the future prosperity of Manchester United rather than his own position at the troubled club. Mourinho has found his future as United manager the subject of much discussion after a tempestuous period, dating back to a frustrating close-season transfer window. That led to conjecture that Mourinho was not happy with the efforts of executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, who handles player signings at Old Trafford. Equally damaging has been Mourinho's relationship with star player Paul Pogba, which has come under close scrutiny after comments made by the France midfielder. Mourinho was in particularly dour and uncooperative mood ahead of his team's Premier League meeting with Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham on Monday, although, in one of his few talkative moments, he did reveal his gratitude for the support shown by fans over the first two games of the season. "The supporters were fantastic in both m...

He argued he is eminently qualified for the presidency having served as Kaduna governor for eight years and being in the senate for two terms during which ...

Yinka Ayefele, a musician, says the meeting with Abiola Ajimobi, governor of Oyo state, on Thursday was more or less a set-up by the governor’s team. Yinka Ayefele  said he demanded a private meeting with the governor but was shocked when pictures of his team and that of the governor surfaced online a few minutes into the meeting. The pictures drew the ire of Ayefele’s supporters who felt he succumbed to begging over the demolition of his Music House by the government. But the musician, who spoke through David Ajiboye, his publicist, said he had to come to the public to the records straight. Ajiboye said Ajimobi told them that he could have saved the situation if only they had come to beg him. “On Thursday, we were at a meeting organised by the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON) at Golden Tulip when we got a call from one of the governorship aspirants in the state.
