President Buhari Spotted Enjoying Dinner With Amosun, Shuts-up Rumour Mongers

Image
Not minding rumour mongers, President Muhammadu Buhari ove the weekend was pictured with the governor of Ogun state, Ibikunle Amosun taking dinner on Sunday, January 30. The president is on vacation in the United Kingdom, but a statement from his spokespersons had said he would use the opportunity to attend to his medical need. This has been however misconstrued to mean that the president was suffering grave health challenges with some claiming he might have been dead.

NUPENG - Nigerians will not accept fuel price increase

Image
The Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers has warned the Federal Government against any further increase in the price of petroleum products . The President of NUPENG, Mr . Achese Igwe, said that the increase in the pump price of fuel could not be the solution to the biting economic situation in the country . Igwe made the comment while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise daily programme monitored by our correspondent on Monday . He stressed that the claim that the Federal Government was owing the Depot and Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria was no reason to consider any increase in the pump price of petroleum products . When asked about the amount owed DAPMAN , he said “That shouldn ’t be a basis for talking about increases in the price òf petroleum products . If marketers are being owed by government, I believe they have a right to ask for their debt , I believe Government also has a responsibility to pay part of their debt. “NARTO ( The Nigerian asso...

Lover boy mistakenly sends same text to 32 girls

Image
The text message seeking to chat up a willing female was intended to be sent to one girl at a time. However, lover boy only realised his error when the backlash began to pour in like floods of water ! At the end of the day, he failed to hook up with any of the girls . The young man who refused to be named texted 32 girls simultaneously . The idea was to spread his ‘ net’ as far as far possible, hoping that out of the 32 ladies he had tried to ‘ toast ,’ at least one would click The message , “You ’re cute, where are you from ?” was supposed to initiate a conversation , which he thought he could improve on . He, however , ran out of luck when he sent the message to a group. He had clicked on all the names of his targets, expecting the text message to be delivered in ones . The text messages were delivered to individual phones, really , except that each recipient was informed that “there are 32 persons in this group . ” Each girl quickly understood the game of chance that the p...

Danny Welbeck made his return to the starting XI and scored twice – but it was his England colleague who finished with the match ball Arsenal progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup with a straightforward 5-0 win over Southampton. Danny Welbeck scored twice early on before Theo Walcott added another before the break. The former Saints youth then added two more in the second half as the guests cruised through.

VIDEO: Crystal Palace 0 – 3 Manchester City [FA Cup Highlights]

Image
Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and Yaya Toure were the men on target as Manchester City booked their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup with a routine 3-0 win at Crystal Palace. City manager Pep Guardiola welcomed captain Vincent Kompany back into his side for the first time since November, when he suffered knee ligament damage at the same ground, and the Belgium centre-back was rarely extended by Sam Allardyce’s men over the course of 90 minutes. Palace’s best spell of pressure immediately preceded the opening goal, when Sterling gratefully accepted and converted a beautifully judged pass from full debutant Gabriel Jesus two minutes before half-time. Sane was a big-money arrival from Schalke during the close-season and, having taken time to settle in England, the 21-year-old Germany winger made it three goals in as many appearances when David Silva pulled Palace apart in the 71st minute. Toure made his surprise return to the City starting line-up at Selhurst Park two months ago...

VIDEO: Real Betis 1 – 1 Barcelona [La Liga Highlights]

Image
Barcelona were denied a blatant goal in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Real Betis when an effort was cleared from behind the goalline and missed by the officials. Aleix Vidal powered down the right before crossing into the box only for German Pezzella to hit the ball towards his own net in a tangle with Jordi Alba, though Aissa Mandi seemingly saved the day with his clearance off the line. However, replays clearly indicated the ball had gone over and Luis Suarez’s angry protests were wholly justified at how the linesman hadn’t seen the incident properly. In the very same incident Neymar appeared to be wrestled to the floor but, again, the Brazilian’s protestations fell on deaf ears. There was an off-the-line clearance just 60 seconds earlier when Gomes struck the ball towards the bottom corner, but that time the officials were right not to give a goal. Luis Suarez levelled the scoring in the last minute after Alex Alegria had put the hosts into a shock lead 75 minutes into the clash. ...

VIDEO: Liverpool 1 – 2 Wolverhampton Wanderers [FA Cup Highlights]

Wolverhampton Wanderers claimed a notable scalp in the FA Cup fourth round as they left Liverpool reeling with a 2-1 victory at Anfield. It took just 52 seconds for the Championship outfit to inflict more misery on Jurgen Klopp’s out-of-sorts side, with a free-kick whipped beyond a statuesque Reds back line allowing Richard Stearman to nod home. Things got even worse for the hosts four minutes before half-time when a Wolves breakaway freed Andreas Weimann to waltz around Loris Karius and fire into an empty net. Liverpool threw on Philippe Coutinho at the break and did offer more of a threat in the second half. Divock Origi pulled one back late on but the Reds were unable to break their struggles at the start of 2017 and must now focus all of their attention on a fading Premier League title challenge.

Bastian Schweinsteiger was among the goals as Manchester United picked up a comfortable 4-0 win over Wigan on Sunday to book their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup. The Germany international scored one and set up another, while Marouane Fellaini, Chris Smalling and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were also on target for the Red Devils, with Anthony Martial getting two assists. Fellaini had United in the lead when he got on the end of a Schweinsteiger ball to head in at the stroke of half time. The second goal came from an unlikely source in Smalling, who was well picked out by Martial to send a header into the net. Later on, Martial set up Mkhitaryan for a simple finish before Schweinsteiger scored with his back to goal to round off the game. DOWNLOAD: Manchester United 4 – 0 Wigan Athletic (FA Cup Highlights)

In a chat with Saturday Beats, the comic actor said that he would have taken his life since 1997 due to the hardship he faced in life . He said that at that point in his life , things were so hard that he could barely afford to feed himself . To make matters worse, the actor said he had no roof over his head and suicide seemed like the easiest option . "Do you know that there was a day that I had prepared to kill myself in Ajao Estate ?
