Makarfi made the comment on Wednesday, January 18, during a PDP event in Abuja. “We are reviewing and rebranding the party, it is only the judgment in Port Harcourt we are waiting for and we are praying for a fair judgment that will revive the hope of the people,” he said. “Justice should be done and seen to be done in a manner that the whole world will see that the…
Manchester United have spent lavishly since Jose Mourinho arrived, but this summer they are prepared to ramp it up another level with the Sun revealing Monaco star Bernardo Silva is one of their prime targets. The Portuguese No.10 would cost an enormous £70 million, yet money appears to be no object as the former Chelsea boss continues to assemble his star-studded squad. The Red Devils are also reportedly confident of landing Antoine Griezmann for £85m, and the 22-year-old attacking midfielder could follow, though Mourinho will face competition in the form of Real Madrid. With seven goals and six assists, Silva…

Never before seen photos of Kim Kardashian show the reality star looking entirely different from the woman we know today. Shot in 2007, the photos show Kim looking less than flattering in uncomfortable-looking poses as she struggles to look sexy. The now-elegant A-lister is seen rocking several different lignerie sets as she struggled to pose for the photoshoot that was done at the beginning of her career 10 years ago. Her famous derriere, which has faced years of scrutiny, looked noticeably smaller, probably because of her obviously slimmer frame.

Former Senate Leader, Muhammad Ndume, has said he was not nursing any ambition to become the governor of Borno in 2019. Ndume, who is representing Borno South, spoke in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Thursday in Maiduguri.

The Joint Military Operation in Niger Delta, Operation Delta Safe, has dismissed claims of responsibility by a militant group on a supposed explosion at an oil field in Ughelli, Delta. Lt.-Col. Olaolu Daudu, Spokesman of the Joint Task Force, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday that the reports were frivolous and false as troops in the area reported no breach of the pipeline as claimed. He explained that the fire caused by residents who burnt bushes near the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) oil field was falsely presented as an attack by a faceless militant group. NPDC…
Barcelona are struggling … slightly. Despite a comfortable 5-0 win this weekend, they sit third in La Liga. That’s even after Sevilla’s surprise come-from-behind victory against Real Madrid. As it stands, Madrid lead the league with 40 points and a game in hand, Sevilla have 39 and Barcelona have 38. Barcelona are on an 80-point pace. It’s hard to call that bad, but it’s certainly not good enough, and not nearly as good as the 91 points they totaled last season. The fact that the drop-off is occurring in the shadow of a Real Madrid side which just finished a…
The last time Manchester City faced Tottenham, everything was looking rosy. New manager Pep Guardiola had failed to win only one match of his opening 11 games, a 3-3 draw with Celtic in the Champions League, and his team were sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table with a two-point cushion over second-placed Liverpool. They were five points ahead of Chelsea at that time, too; 14 games later, they’re 10 points adrift of the Stamford Bridge side. There’s been talk of a crisis and, while City fans will dismiss that thought and note their side is still…
The idea that, for some, Arsenal are not in the title race is a strange one when you look at the league table. The gap to Chelsea is obvious, and with a crunch game coming up against the leaders in February, there’s a chance to close the difference. In the meantime, though, pundits have written this season off as more of the same from Arsene Wenger’s team, which is slightly unfair at this stage. Firstly, nobody expected Chelsea to go on a 13-game win streak after losing 3-0 to the Gunners back in September. It was a run that almost…
