The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, during an interview recently, hinted that Senator Ali Ndume might be forgiven. Ndume was suspended by the Senate plenary for accusing Saraki falsely. The Governor of Borno, Kashim Shettima recently met with the Senate President to plead on Ndume’s behalf. According to Daily Trust, Saraki said “All I can say is that this Senate has a large heart. We used to have dissenting voices before but we are now back as one family. Sooner or later we may have a political solution somewhere and Ndume may be back in the fold.” Speaking on the legality…

Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho insists there are plenty of goals still to come after he became the Premier League’s highest-scoring Brazilian. The 24-year-old came off the bench to score the important equaliser as his side recovered from going behind to win 2-1 at Stoke. It was his 30th top-flight goal and put him one clear of former Middlesbrough attacker Juninho. Teammate Roberto Firmino, who scored a brilliant winner at the bet365 Stadium, is only 10 goals behind after 61 matches compared to his compatriot’s 131, but Coutinho plans to add many more having already equalled his best Premier League season…
Paris Saint-Germain moved back into second place in Ligue 1 and narrowed the gap on league leaders Monaco to three points with a 4-0 victory over Guingamp at the Parc des Princes. Despite the comprehensive scoreline, Unai Emery’s team did not have it all their own way and were made to wait for the win with the goals not coming until after half-time, when Angel Di Maria and Edinson Cavani scored in quick succession. Cavani then got his name on the score sheet again midway through the second half and Blaise Matuidi put the icing on the cake with a…
Under a small green awning on a street outside the Stadium of Light, a middle-aged man scowls as he casts his eye over racks of bright, bold Sunderland-themed T-shirts. The merchandise of the popular club fanzine “A Love Supreme,” they celebrate men like Jermain Defoe. They celebrate the club’s history and their heritage. But the man finds nothing here to his liking. “If you had one that says, ‘David Moyes is a w—er,'” he grunts, “I’d buy that.” And then he strides away. Joe McFadden, working the stall, smiles politely and continues to lay out his wares. This is the…
For his first-ever jewelry line, Kanye West has teamed up with the most coveted jeweler of ’90s hip-hop, Jacob Arabo. Dubbed Jacob the Jeweler by legends like LL Cool J, The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay Z, Arabo’s opulent and classic style was a no-brainer for the Yeezy collaboration. The 12-piece line was inspired by bas-relief portraits found in 14th-century Florentine art including medallion-style pendant necklaces evoking the romantic images of Donatello, thick band rings and even a deconstructed bangle bracelet. “I wanted to create something that represented timeless love,” West told Vogue in an exclusive interview. This sentiment is best…

Clips of a chaotic game are unlikely to leave Atletico Madrid petrified. Leicester warmed up for their maiden European quarterfinal by prioritising the Champions League and losing their 100 percent record under Craig Shakespeare. The caretaker could not join Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola in a select group of managers to win their first six Premier League games. If the Champions League occupied thoughts around Goodison Park, it is also because Everton prevailed to continue their spirited bid for a top-four finish. It remains unlikely, but a seventh straight home league win took them level on points with Arsenal, albeit…
The feud between Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma is still going strong, just fyi. Since their respective diss tracks have come out, both have been continuing to throw shade at each other on social media, and it’s clear that these two are probably never, ever going to be BFFs. In “ShETHER,” Remy’s infamous 7-minute diss track, she even referenced Nicki Minaj’s brother Jelani Maraj and the molestation claims surrounding him. Remy isn’t done, either; she threw shade at Nicki’s brother during an Instagram Live chat recently, the same chat during which she may or may not have referred to Minaj…

President Buhari has reportedly asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to present a report, itemising the assets and funds recovered from corrupt Nigerians. A source close to the presidency says Buhari wants to present the report as a scorecard to critics of the war against corruption. The source also said “Infact, in several yards across of the country where the EFCC keeps seized vehicles; Range Rovers, Jaguars, Prado jeeps, and expensive cars, we have heard reports of decay. The cars are allowed to rot, leading to massive waste. “You will also recall that certificates of occupancy seized from…

It has been a few seasons since Manchester United have picked up three points away to Sunderland but if there was any manager who could help them with that, it’s the hapless David Moyes. United scored goals in both halves in Sunday’s 3-0 win, a game that was more or less finished as soon as Sebastian Larsson was sent off for going in studs up with his foot over the ball on Ander Herrera. Some claimed there was controversy to the decision although it’s unlikely they would have thought that if Larsson had made proper contact with the Spaniard. It…
So maybe Jose Mourinho does have a softer side after all. As Manchester United cruised to a 3-0 victory against Sunderland, he not only saved Luke Shaw from a potential red card by substituting the left-back on 61 minutes, but also made sure that the watching world noticed his deliberate and exaggerated bear hug as the player crossed the touchline. Shaw has received precious little warmth and affection from Mourinho in recent weeks. The 21-year-old started this season as a regular in the team, but a bad day at the office during a 3-1 defeat at Watford in September sent…
Goalkeeper: The days of Simon Mignolet playing second fiddle to Loris Karius at Liverpool seem long gone, even more so after his stunning performance against Stoke City. Liverpool were made to work hard to secure their 2-1 victory on Saturday, but without some fine saves from Mignolet, particularly to deny Saido Berahino, the visitors could have left the bet365 Stadium empty-handed. A special mention goes to Paul Mariner’s selection of Fraser Forster, but there’s no seeing past Mignolet for our goalkeeper — and as Steve Nicol puts it: “Mignolet shut up his critics perfectly.” Right back: Kieran Trippier created a…
