Presidential Declaration: Kwankwaso Promises Value-Based Leadership

One time governor of Kano state, who ruled for two terms, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has made his presidential declaration at Abuja, Nigeria's capital. Kwankwaso on Wednesday, August 29, declared to run for the Presidency on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the coming 2019 general elections. His declaration came less than 24 hours after he was denied use of the Eagle Square as venue for the political event. But the senator, who later chose Chinda Hotel, at Jabi district Abuja, as venue for the event literarily grounded that area of Abuja as his supporters from the 36 states of the federation and the FCT thronged to the venue to witness the declaration. The senator representing Kano Central said at the event, “Distinguished ladies and gentlemen let me thank you for coming far and wide to hear my decision to run for the president of Nigeria. “Today, I declare under PDP to offer a leadership as all is not well in our polity. On this day, I offer you a gr

Hilarious: Drunkard Takes Taxi To Parents Former House And Falls Asleep There (Photo)

A funny incident happened to a man named Thomas Airlie, after he got drunk, took a taxi to his parents former apartment and fell asleep there. The person who currently lives in the house was startled to see a stranger fast asleep on the couch in her apartment. Information has it that while it’s hard to be on top of your game while you’re intoxicated, there are three rules to a successful night of heavy drinking. One, make sure you have the holy trinity on you: phone, wallet, keys. Two, don’t drive. Three, get home safely. Thomas Airlie probably thought he was in the clear when he ordered a taxi to take him to his parents’ house to sleep off a night out with the guys. He entered the residence, took his shoes off at the door, went to the kitchen to get a juice, and lay down on the couch. All was well. Except his parents did not live in that house — in Glasglow, Scotland — anymore, and they hadn’t for two years. Elaine McDade, a dance teacher, and mother of two, lived there,

Mourinho Is The Wrong Man At Old Trafford, Will Be Sacked By Christmas - Ex Manchester United Star Reveals

The days of Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho may be numbered at Old Trafford, following the words of an ex Reds star player and England international, Lee Sharpe. Sharpe feels the former Chelsea Football Club, has caused more damage than repairs at the Premier League most decorated club. According to the Nigerianvoice.com, the Former Manchester United legend thinks Mourinho is living on borrowed time at Old Trafford and expects him to be sacked by Christmas. United’s season went into early crisis mode on Sunday  as a shoddy performance at Brighton brought a 3-2 defeat , with captain Paul Pogba later admitting Mourinho’s men lacked “hunger” and that the attitude was not right. The loss came on the back of a troubled summer, with Mourinho frustrated by the United hierarchy’s failure to make signings before the transfer deadline and the Portuguese’s warning that a “difficult season” could lie ahead.

Zidane What? How Real Madrid Have Become Much Better Under Lopetegui

Zinedine Zidane won the hearts of Real Madrid supporters all over the world after his domination of the UEFA Champions League competition, which he won consecutively for Los Blancos in 2016, 2017 and 2018 in a memorable fashion. Real Madrid fans are beginning to enjoy their team's new style of football, the style of Julen Lopetegui. It looks like a team that cherishes the ball and in last night's match against Getafe, Los Blancos boasted 78% of possession - a figure only bettered twice by a Real side since 2009. There had been glimpses of this possession-based style in a preseason friendly against AC Milan, however, last night was the first competitive test and the fans loved what they saw. While the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu faithful enjoyed the running, the height, the depth, it's clear that the system can still be perfected. Against teams like Getafe who position ten men behind the ball and are well organised defensively, good movement and change of play is key

A retired Liverpool and Real Madrid striker, Michael Owen, has predicted that The Blues will brush aside The Gunners by 2 goals to 1 in Saturday’s Premier League match at Stamford Bridge.

We Miss Cristiano Ronaldo So Much - Real Madrid Player Confesses

Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid for Juventus over some weeks now, however, it seems the ghost of the club's highest goalscorer has started hunting somr football players at Santiago Bernabeu. Los Blancos fell to neighbour, Athletico Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup a few days ago and someone like Casemiro has started feeling the bitter departure of the five time FIFA World player of the year from Spain to Italy. Recall that Ronaldo, 33, left the Merengues for the Old Ladies in a club-record transfer after nine glittering seasons at Madrid. And his absence was highlighted within Spanish press as Los Blancos slumped to their first European final defeat in 18 years. Real held a 2-1 lead before Casemiro departed the field through injury in the 76th minute and in head coach Julen Lopetegui's first competitive game in charge they went on to lose 4-2 in extra-time to cross-town rivals Atletico Madrid. "We are hurt after losing a title but this is just the beginning. We h

Jonathan's Weakness Towards Fight Against Corruption Frustrated Me - Okonjo-Iweala

A former Minister of Finance under the Goodluck Jonathan led administration, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been speaking about the approach used by the ex president when it came to fighting corruption under his watch. Okonjo-Iweala was Jonathan’s finance minister and coordinating minister of the economy between  2011 and 2015. She writes that even though there was sufficient evidence of corruption in government circles and operations under Jonathan, not much was done by the president to bring perpetrators to book. “I spent my time confronting corruption in my work and in all its faces in government. But at times, I felt that the pace at which I wanted to act was slowed by those who presented alternative narratives to the president”, Okonjo-Iweala writes. “Both the implementation of the forensic audit in the oil sector and the sharing of the report were delayed and thereby muted the positive impact of the audit. “I also felt a great deal of frustration that few high level perpetrato

No Ronaldo, As Athletico Defeat Madrid With Costa Scoring Fastest UEFA Super Cup Goal

Who says Real Madrid do not still need someone like Cristiano Ronaldo or are not already missing the exceptional qualities of the new Juventus of Italy football player. The UEFA Super Cup played on Wednesday, August 15 showed Madrid were lacking so much firepower in their attack as Diego Costa and others won the game for their club. According to Dailypost.ng, Atletico Madrid striker, Diego Costa made UEFA Super Cup history against Real Madrid. The former Chelsea ace scored the fastest goal in the competition’s history. The Spanish international smashed past Keylor Navas after just 53 seconds in Tallinn, Estonia to put his side ahead against their arch rivals. The Brazilian born star headed over Marcelo before nudging past Raphael Varane and smashed an effort from a tight angle past Navas. Ever Banega had held the record with his goal against Barcelona within three minutes in the 2015 final. But Costa’s was almost two minutes quicker. Real were playing competitively for t

How Active Sexual Intercourse Makes You Look 7 Years Younger Than Your Real Age

Active sexual intercourse or mating or copulation or better still sex, has so many roles to play in the marital lives of husbands and their wives, according to a health specialist.

Real Reasons I Left Chelsea For Real Madrid - Courtois

Immediate ex Chelsea of England goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtois has been clearing the air over his famous move from Stamford Bridge to the exquisite Santiago Bernabeu, home of Real Madrid. According to DailyTrust, the lanky safehands of Belgian National team dumped the Blues for Los Blancos in order to fully be with his family, his agent has claimed. "There has been a misunderstanding that he wanted to get a move for the wrong reasons, but he was pushing to go out of Chelsea because of his child," Christophe Henrotay said. "If the family were in London it would have been totally different. He would have stayed, there is no reason to leave a club like Chelsea, he could have won trophies. "Unfortunately his kids are living with the mother in Madrid." Recall that Courtois was Athletico of Madrid's safe hands when Real Madrid bitterly equalised 1-1 via a Sergio Ramos header at stoppage time of the 2013/2014 Champions League final.

After Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid for Juventus, the Spanish giant has taken bold steps to tie down Luka Modric from leaving the Bernabeu. Internazionale's interest in signing Luka Modric is concrete, however, Real Madrid have no intention of allowing the midfielder to leave with it likely that the Croatian will receive another reward in the form of a sizeable pay-rise. The Italian giants have been quietly working on a deal to sign the best player at the 2018 World Cup since the start of the summer, especially with it intimated to them that the former Tottenham Hotspur playmaker wouldn't be averse to leaving Madrid. Florentino Perez has been strong in his assertions that Modric wouldn't leave the club for a euro less than his 750 million euro buy-out clause, but the situation is a difficult one. Cristiano Ronaldo's buy-out clause was lowered from 1 billion euros to 100 million euros as part of a gentleman's agreement with the president. It's unc

Why Manchester United Should Buy This Defender Now

Manchester United are possibly going to be facing some major challenges in their quest to wrestle the English Premier League title from defending champions, Manchester City. This is due to the fact that the club still need to shore up their defensive department. One name that comes to mind currently is England World Cup 2018 hero, Harry Maguire, who manned the defense for the Three Lions in absolute fashion. The Leicester City player, Maguire has all the features needed to make the Old Trafford club challenge for the title, if they want to concede fewer numbers of goals this season. Mourinho is known as a defensive minded coach, thus he needs to further fortify his feeble back line with the likes of Maguire. United should not wait till the final day of the transfer market before they buy the physically fit English man, as this will guarantee them a shot at the title and more protection for their brilliant goalkeeper, David de Gea. The earlier, they say, the better. This s

Who Needs Ronaldo? How Real Madrid Destroyed Juventus 3-1

Real Madrid defeated Juventus by 3-1 in a game played infront of over 70,000 football loving spectators. All the fears raised about the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus from Spanish giant, Madrid had no effect. Maryland's FedExField played host as Real Madrid overturned an early 1-0 deficit to beat a Cristiano Ronaldo-less Juventus in the early hours of Sunday morning. Having fallen behind through a Dani Carvajal own goal, Gareth Bale levelled the scores before the break, and thereafter Marco Asensio took centre stage with a brace to win the game for the European champions. There was little that could have been done to prevent the opener as Joao Cancelo's cross was diverted off of Carvajal and beyond Keylor Navas to give the Old Lady the lead. From then, Julen Lopetegui's side reacted and took charge of the game without ever really creating too much. Bale and Isco both tried their luck from range but never really troubled Wojciech Szczesny in the Juve
