A show of what looks like natural inferiority complex has landed Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi into trouble. The governor thanked President Buhari for having Ebonyi citizen as his cook and Nigerians are scolding Umahi for such level of inferiority complex, that is, being happy that his own person is a cook in Aso ROck. Many Nigerians have taken to social media in shock and condemnation of what seems like a bizzare reaction by the Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, in a banquet honouring President Muhammadu Buhari on his visit to the state. Umahi’s exact words are as follows: “When I was in the villa to see Mr. President, a woman struggled to see me. She told me that she is from Afikpo and that she cooks for President Buhari and his wife. What more love and trust do we need in Ebonyi State?” Governor David Umahi said.

Macmillan nurses in London – who care for the terminally ill – have revealed some of the moving things their patients have told them at the end of their lives, BBC reports. The nurses revealed that some patients asked to see pets for the last time, others simply wanted a cup of tea. One nurse, at the Royal Stoke University Hospital in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, said a couple who were both being given palliative care once asked for their beds to be pushed together so they could hold hands. They then died within 10 days of each other. The nurses opened up about the final few minutes of life for a special video for BBC News titled What do people say before they die? Many of the women featured said they took part to prove it is possible to have a ‘good death’ and people shouldn’t be afraid of passing on. Nurse Dani Jervis said in the moving film: ‘We do get people that would like their favourite tipple. ‘One person said life is too short, do the things that you want, d...

Ronaldo is FINISHED — Messi

Image
By Alia Chiemena. U Ronaldo has endured a nightmare start to the season, scoring just one La Liga goal for Real Madrid so far. There seems to be genuine concern at the Bernabeu that their talisman is finished, with the 32-year-old approaching the twilight years of his career. And Spanish website Don Balon claims that Lionel Messi thinks Ronaldo will never rediscover the form that has made him such a formidable opponent of the years. Ronaldo won FIFA’s Player of the Year award last month for his exploits for Los Blancos last term, where he fired them to Spanish and European glory. But the brutal fact is he has looked unworthy of that award based on this season’s performances. He has eight goals across all competitions but Madrid’s domestic plight has coupled with his own. Barcelona already sit eight points clear of Real Madrid at the summit, with Valencia sandwiched in between. Don Balon say Messi also intends to up his game even further to beat Ronaldo to individual a...

War Threat! Trump Sends Fresh Warning to North Korea

Image
Alia Chiemena. U US President Donald Trump issued a fresh warning to North Korea on Monday, saying the  time for “strategic patience” is over. He spoke in Japan after winning Japan’s backing for his policy of considering all options to rein in the rogue state. Trump described the North’s nuclear programme as “a threat to the civilised world and international peace and stability” on the second day of his Asia tour dominated by the crisis. He had signalled in the past that Washington could look beyond a diplomatic solution to the North’s nuclear weapons ambitions and consider military intervention. “The era of strategic patience is over,” he declared alongside his host, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Under former president Barack Obama, the United States had ruled out engaging the North until it made a tangible commitment to de-nuclearisation. Washington hoped sanctions pressure and internal stresses in the isolated country would bring about change but critics said ...

Pope Francis Grants Roman Catholic Priests The Right To Get Married

Image
By Udorji Ozioma Yvonne The global leader of the Roman Catholic church, Pope Francis, has requested that Catholic priests be given the right to get married. Pope Francis has requested that Roman Catholic priests be given the right to get married, Yahoo News UK reports. The request applies to priests in Brazil, and is on the agenda for an upcoming synod (church council) in the Amazon region. The controversial move would address the critical shortage of men joining the priesthood – but is likely to drive divisions through the church by enraging conservative factions. A small number of married Roman Catholic priests already exist, including previously married Anglican vicars who have joined the church. A request to lift the ban on marriage was made by Brazilian bishop Cardinal Claudio Hummes, who reportedly asked the Pope to consider ‘viri probati’, meaning married of great faith, as priests. Derry priest Father Paddy O’Kane suggested that Pope Francis may move to end celibacy...

We’ll not hide,” Wenger told reporters. “When we go there, we’ll want to defend well. But we cannot go there and be focused on only defending.

US Rapper, Meek Mill To Face 20 Months In Prison (See What He Did)

Image
By Alia Chiemena. U Nicki Minaj’s ex, Meek Mill could end up going to jail for nearly two years after violating his probation twice. Meek is going to court Monday for a couple of serious probation violations in his drug and weapons case … he was arrested for fighting at a St. Louis airport in March, and arrested again in August for recklessly driving his motorcycle in NYC. The judge in the case has already made it clear … one false move and she’ll drop the hammer on Meek. In fact, in 2015 he left Pennsylvania for a gig without getting approval from the court and the judge put him on house arrest. The 2 recent arrests are even more serious, and if Meek got house arrest for a travel faux pas, he’s in big big trouble now. BTW … Meek’s airport case and reckless driving case have both already been dropped. Worst case scenario … Meek could spend around 20 months in prison.

Chelsea in Crisis? Billionaire Mogul, Abramovich Makes Important Decision Over Antonio Conte's Future

Image
By Alia Chiemena. U English Premier League champions, Chelsea FC's billionaire owner, Roman Abramovich has already made up his mind to sack Antonio Conte at the end of the season. Chelsea have entered into a state of panic and are already looking for a new coach for next season given that Antonio Conte's relationship with club bosses has deteriorated and poor results, like the defeat to Roma, aren't helping. It now seems unlikely that Conte will continue as Chelsea coach next season. Despite being reigning champions of the Premier League, conflicts with players and disappointing results on the field are having an impact. In addition, the row with Diego Costa did not help. Roman Abramovich has already decided to sack the Italian. Having focused on winning the one title that evaded him for many years, he finally won the Champions League under Roberto di Matteo, who was sacked months later. The Russian is not patient if coaches upset him. It is not the first time t...

Chai!! Nigerian Men Consume Over 400 Million Condoms Annually, NGO

Image
Udorji Ozioma Yvonne  Quiz no; 48 The Society of Family Health (SFH), a Non-Governmental Organisation, has said on Tuesday, October 31, 2017 that Nigerians consume over 400 million condoms annually. The Managing Director of SFH, Bright Ekweremadu, who said this in Lagos yesterday, however, added that the 400 million condom consumption rate could fall below expectation based on the society’s estimation of unprotected sex in the country. He spoke during the launch of Flex condom, a brand that, he said, came with a lot of flavours and had more strength and could last longer during sex. His words:  “We have been in the business of condom production for over 30 years. We have done a lot of things in educating people to embrace abstinence with our zip-up campaign. There are obviously sexually active Nigerians who may not totally abstain from sex and this led to our alternative, particularly at this time when HIV/AIDs is prevalent in the country. ”What we are doing now is ...
