Fast forward to 2018, it is now exactly 19 years of uniterrupted civilian rule. Below is the full speech of President Buhari to the citizens: ADDRESS BY MUHAMMADU BUHARI, PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA IN COMMEMORATION OF THE 2018 DEMOCRACY DAY CELEBRATION, TUESDAY, 29TH MAY, 2018 My Dear Nigerians! Today marks the 19th year of our nascent democracy and the 3rd Anniversary of this administration. I am thankful to Almighty God for bringing us thus far.  This administration came at a time that Nigerians needed Change, the Change we promised and the Change we continue to deliver. We have faced a lot of challenges on this journey and Nigerians have stood by us in achieving the three cardinal points of this administration namely; Security, Corruption and the Economy. 2.     The commemoration of thi

Ex Arsenal legend and former Chelsea player, Emmanuel Petit is afraid new Gunners boss, Unai Emery could have challenges handling the dressing room egos of some players at the Emirates. The immediate past PSG manager was named Arsene Wenger's successor at the end of the 2017/18 after the Frenchman’s 22-year reign at the north London club came to an end. And there’s plenty of work to be done at Arsenal after the club endured a disappointing season which saw them eventually finish in sixth spot in the Premier League. The players must believe in him and follow his instructions, but I’m not sure that will happen,’ Petit said. ‘He was unable to do that at Paris Saint-Germain because of the egos in the dressing room. ‘He was being eaten by the players, and he didn’t have the personality to be the leader. ‘Having watched him over the past two years in France, you could see he was frustrated. It was obvious he was alone at the club. ‘The president didn’t protect him and Emery

President Muhammadu Buhari has given another Democracy Day speech today, May 29. The nation's number one citizen has practically spent three years as Nigeria's president. On the part of a good number of Nigerians, there are so many things the citizens are not happy with, especially on the issues of fighting corruption, security as well as economic revival. President Buhari promised the masses heaven and earth, prior to his victory against former president, Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday, March 28, 2015, however, it's another kettle of fish now. Here are four reasons why Nigerians are not comfortable with the Buhari led government. 1. Some sections of the country believe President Buhari has totally marginalised them. The Southeastern people think Buhari has nothing to offer them. 2. There is so much poverty and hunger in the land. A large number of Nigerians groan everyday under low income and hike in food prices. 3. The war against corruption is believed not to 

Gareth Bale could have been spectacular for Real Madrid last night in the UEFA Champions League final against Liverpool in Kiev, Ukraine. However, the single name which will continued to be remembered for years to come is Madrid's manager and former player, Zinedine Zidane. Zinedine Zidane was thick in action, when the Spanish giant defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 in the 2002 Champions League final. The former Juventus player scored an amazing volley to secure victory for Madrid. Why should all focus be on Zidane after creating football history by winning the Champions League for three successive times? 1. Zinedine Zidane is the most intelligent football handler presently. His brilliance earned Madrid the cup. 2. The Real Madrid coach is a great tactician. He knows which player to field and why some players should sit on the bench even if they are physically fit to feature for him. 3. The Frenchman is always calm. The 1998 World Cup winner does not allow the pressure of the

It is no longer a news that defending champions of Europe's elite club competition, Real Madrid have successfully defended the Champions League by winning the trophy for a third successive time. The 3-1 victory the Spanish club secured against English side, Liverpool was tainted by a vicious challenge by Sergio Ramos on the Reds talisman, Mohamed Salah. Supporters of the round leather game mostly saw the Madrid captain, as playing the devil's advocate in order to get his side the victory, which was mainly to injure Salah in order to weaken and kill the morale of Liverpool as a whole. It is sad cheating via various forms is still rampant in the game of soccer. A similar incident happened at the FIFA 2006 World Cup in Germany. The tournament was won by Italy, after Marco Materazzi frustrated Zinedine Zidane out of the game, after the latter was red carded for head butting the Italian defender. The sad reality is that if cheating continues in football, the team which oug

Chelsea FC have emerged winner of the English FA Cup after defeating rivals, Manchester United by 1-0. According to ChannelsTV, Manchester United’s Portuguese managerJose Mourinho claimed Chelsea didn’t deserve to win the FA Cup after adopting a cautious approach in the second half of their 1-0 victory against Manchester United on Saturday. Mourinho was frustrated that Chelsea opted to sit back and defend the lead secured by Eden Hazard’s first-half penalty at Wembley. United were poor in the opening period, but they controlled possession after the interval as Chelsea manager Antonio Conte opted to play more cautiously. Despite dominating in the second half, Mourinho’s side left empty-handed thanks to some fine saves from Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. And the United manager, often criticised for sending out negative teams himself, couldn’t resist the chance to take a swipe at his old rival Conte’s tactics. “I congratulate them because they won but I don’t think

Anthony Martial of Manchester United is a hardworking football player, however, the recently ended English Premier League season was not the best for him in terms of game time and number of matches played. Manchester United manager José Mourinho did not see the young Frenchman fit into his plans to deserve a first team shirt. On the other hand, football pundits believe the Portuguese tactician was not fair to Martial. This in turn made national team handler, Didier Deschamps to look away the young winger. Below are the list of those going to Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup next month, with goalkeeper and team captain, Hugo Lloris leading the team:

The United States number one citizen, President Donald Trump, is coming out with possible tough measures against North Korea if the Asian country does not forget about its nuclear programmes. Just a few days ago, North Korean and South Korean leaders held an historic meeting, where both leaders were in happy and agreeable mood. Below is the report by tori.ng: U.S. President Donald Trump has told North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un to abandon nuclear weapons and be rewarded with “protections” or risk being overthrown and possible death if the arsenal remains. The U.S. leader laid out the stark choice for North Korea’s leader ahead of their planned summit in Singapore on June 12, according to media reports. Trump maintained that the scheduled June 12 meeting in Singapore was on track, in spite of the North’s threat on Wednesday to cancel over concerns about the U.S. push to see the complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula. North Korea had argued it needed its nuclear weapons

There is no doubt that the hottest football player in the English Premier League and probably globally is Liverpool and Egyptian Mohamed Salah. The former Roma and Chelsea broke a League goalscoring record, by going a step ahead to net 32 goals for the just concluded EPL 2017/2018 season. In view of possible interest in Salah, Birmingham Live reports the present situation on history maker, Salah below: Liverpool fans look away now: Mohamed Salah could sign for two Premier League rivals. That's according to some dubious reports on Friday, anyway. Salah has been in fine fettle for the Reds this term, bagging more than 40 goals and scooping the PFA Player of the Year Award. Diario Gol claims Liverpool have set the huge asking price of €200million. Real Madrid have baulked at the cost of the record-breaking Egyptian. But, worryingly for the Anfield club's fans, three other clubs have not. Manchester City remain interested, while Chelsea want him back at Stamford

As all is set for the final showdown in the English FA Cup final match between Chelsea and Manchester United on Saturday, May 19, the Blues star player, Eden Hazard has been warning his team against complacency. The Belgian believes they have to be at their best in order not to end the season without a single silverware. Read the report of NDTV SPORT on this below: Desperate to end a dismal season on a high note, troubled Chelsea manager Antonio Conte needs Eden Hazard to ride to his rescue in Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester United. Conte's side have been rocked by their failure to qualify for next season's Champions League after they stumbled to a disappointing fifth place finish in the Premier League. With Conte reportedly on the verge of leaving following his feud with the club's hierarchy over transfers, there is a sense Chelsea are lurching through one of their regular periods of self-inflicted turmoil. While victory at Wembley this weekend woul
