It is not the best of times for Nigerians who are trying to move into Canada from the United States of America. As asylum seekers from Nigeria move into Canada across a ditch in Upstate New York, Canadian authorities are telling the United States for help — but not with managing the movement at the border. Instead, they want U.S. immigration officials to reduce the foot traffic by screening Nigerians more stringently before granting them U.S. visas. It is a ripple effect that few expected last summer when people, mostly Haitians, began to walk into Quebec via an “irregular” border crossing north of Plattsburgh, N.Y., and seek refugee status. With the coming of spring, the flow has picked up again. But recently, the asylum seekers have been mostly Ni­ger­ian, and their route to the border is more problematic, Canadian officials say. Many Haitians had lived in the United States for years before suddenly learning they would lose their protected status and fleeing north. But many...

Barcelona remain undefeated as they conquer LaLiga with their eighth double Even above and beyond the usual joy of winning a league title, this year is a special one for Barcelona and followers of LaLiga. This was the season in which a side finally beat Real Sociedad's record of 38 games unbeaten. Ernesto Valverde's side drew level against Leganes, 31 games into this season, equalling the Basque side's record set across 1979 and 1980. The Blaugrana combined seven of the final games of last season under Luis Enrique with 31 from 2017/18 under Ernesto Valverde to achieve it. But the run didn't stop there, and Barcelona continue racking up games unbeaten and are now up to 41 without defeat. With the league title now secured, the only doubt will be if Barcelona can do what no side has ever done before in Spain and go a full season unbeaten. It has been done elsewhere, such as in the Premier League, but never in Spain. As things are now, only four sides can ...

The new PFA player of the year, who currently leads the scoring charts with 31 goals to his name, appeared to flail a balled hand towards the Stoke City centre-back during Saturday's 0-0 draw at Anfield. The incident was not spotted by referee Andre Marriner at the time and could therefore be referred to a three-man panel of former officials to rule if it was worthy of a red card. According to The Sun, Football Association chiefs have been alerted to social media clips of the rumpus and Salah's fate is now said to be in their hands. Under FA rules, the PFA Player of the Year will miss the final two league games of this campaign and the first of next season if the panel unanimously decide it was a sending-off offence.

Obasanjo stated that even the great grandfathers of Nigerian youths would never go as far as President Muhammadu Buhari allegedly did to dub Nigerian youths as being lazy.

Atiku Abubakar, an ex vice president, has stated that the major reason he went separate ways with his former party, the All Progressive Congress (APC), was the inability of President Muhammadu Buhari to address the negative manner in which the APC was being managed. Atiku stated this on Saturday, April 27, in an interview with BBC Hausa Good Morning programme. “After 2015 general election, I met the president. I told him the activities of the party have been crippled and there is a need for restructure. Also I advised the president on issues concerning his administration.

One time Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Finance under former president Goodluck Jonathan administration, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has stated how ex Niger State, governor, Muazu Babangida Aliyu and his colleagues ‘wrongly’ advised Jonathan to announce the removal of fuel subsidy on January 1, 2012. The withdrawal of the fuel subsidy led to bloody protests across the country, which forced government to backtrack on the price increase. In a new book, “Fighting corruption is dangerous: The story behind the headlines”, Okonjo-Iweala recalled how the move was “ill timed and wrong.” She wrote, “There were some debates within the Economic Management Team as to whether fuel subsidies should be phased out in stages or in one fell swoop. The consensus was that experience in Nigeria had shown that even a small partial phase-out would draw the same large protests as a complete phase-out, so the feeling of the team was, ‘why die in stages?’ Perhaps, it was better to do all at once. ...

The World Bank on Monday, April 23, stated that Nigerians living in the Diaspora repatriated $22 billion home in 2017, making it among the highest, and the fifth largest remittance by immigrants. Egypt received $20 billion from its citizens abroad, according to figures published by the bank today. The World Bank said payments from immigrants back to their home countries rebounded to reach a new record in 2017 but the costs of transferring funds also increased. The stronger-than-expected recovery in remittances — payments that are key to supporting the economies of many poor countries — was driven by growth in Europe, Russia and the United States, the World Bank said in a report. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the bank estimates that officially recorded remittances to low- and middle-income countries reached $466 billion in 2017, an increase of 8.5 percent over $429 billion in 2016.

Information regarding LaLiga impending signings has it that Lionel Messi has advised Barcelona to offer Ousmane Dembele to Liverpool in a bid to sign Mohamed Salah to the Nou Camp. Spanish outlet Diario Gol, has it that the runaway LaLiga champions are looking at sending French flop Dembele to Anfield as part of a deal for the current Premier League top scorer. The news made it known that the Argentine has given his approval for such a deal, as he would rather the Liverpool star sign instead of Antoine Griezmann, who he feels is too similar a player and would overlap him too often. The brain behind the move is that Barcelona would have a player already in his peak and would not have to wait for Dembele to develop. Also, the Spanish league leaders are also keen on the idea of ex-Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho replacing Andres Iniesta in midfield, meaning he would not play as much out wide. In addition, the report claims that Real Madrid president Flo...
