Members of that committee are to be contacted if the new moon of “Shawwal” is sighted, according to Islamic tradition.

NSCIA, in a statement Saturday, said if the new moon is not sighted anywhere, Nigerians are expected to fast a complete 30 days and Sallah would be celebrated on Monday, June 26, 2017.

Has Gambling Improved The Economic Fortune Of Nigerians?

Gambling involves staking a certain amount of money or possession in the hope of winning something bigger or in multiples. Gambling entails having an optimistic belief that giving out something will bring back a higher return. Gambling means a positive or negative expectation from an input done by the gambler. A gambler gambles away some or all of his money in expectation of winning what will change his or her life financially at most times. Gambling attracts all manners of characters whose sole aim is a better economic fortune. Gambling is not prevalent not just in the Western World but in African countries such as Nigeria.

7 Greatest Sportsmen Of All Time

There are often arguments and counterarguments on who the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time are. Some sports historians, analysts, and supporters pick their own choices not necessarily on facts but emotions.  In picking the 7 greatest sportsmen of all time, I briefly checked their achievements not just in their specific fields but also their impact outside the world of sports. 1. Boxing legend, Muhammad Ali has been crowned the best sports athlete of all time in a star-studded list. The 'Greatest' is widely considered the best boxer in history and arguably the most iconic sports star of the 20th century.  Ali was not just a beauty to watch in the boxing ring, the greatest pugilist positively influenced decisions in many countries globally.  2. Pele is widely picked as the winner, and number one football player in history in all criteria. His three-time World Cup-winning feat, from four World Cup appearances, is unlikely to be matched. Pele scored a Guinness World Record of 1279
