Mr Yakubu Dogara has commended President Muhammadu Buhari over the release of the abducted Dapchi school girls in Yobe. He said the President’s efforts to ensure that the girls were freed from captivity had yielded results, with the hope of ending insurgency in the North East. He, however, called for proactive steps to forestall recurrence of the incident by security agencies. He added that “we must remind all those concerned that mass abduction of innocent schoolgirls should never have been allowed to happen in the first place. “While we await the outcome of the investigation by the House Ad hoc…
Thoughts in Barcelona have turned towards an unbeaten league campaign after goals from Paco Alcacer and Lionel Messi earned a 2-0 win against Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.

Jurgen Klopp has said Manchester City won’t be happy to have been drawn against Liverpool in a Champions League quarter-final showdown of Premier League rivals. The quarter-final first leg will take place at Anfield on April 4 and the decisive return is set for April 10 at Eastlands. “We’ve lost once and we’ve won once against them in the league. I don’t think they thought before the best draw they could have got is Liverpool. That’s a sign for us and how strong we can be,” Klopp told Liverpool’s website. “We are for sure not the favourites in this round,…
He may not be impressing much on the pitch but at least Paul Pogba is dazzling with his hair. The Manchester United star, who has come under fire of late after failing to make much of an impact in Jose Mourinho’s midfield, unveiled his dashing new hairstyle on Instagram. That colour is a bit risky for a United player isn’t it? Perhaps it could be a veiled message that Pogba could be about to cut his losses at Old Trafford and move across Manchester to a local rival playing in blue. That said, Oldham Athletic are fairly well-stocked in midfield…
Ashley Young is of the opinion that under-fire Manchester United teammate Luke Shaw can be “one of the best in the world” if he works hard and keeps his head down. Young was not keen to get into that particular matter, but has seen enough of Shaw to back him for the very top. “I am not here to talk about other people and whatnot,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live. “Obviously he is a player that wants to do well, I want to see him doing well. It’s like all players, you just have to get your head down…
Gary Neville has said that Jose Mourinho singling out the Luke Shaw is “a distraction” for other failures this season. Mourinho was, not for the first time, critical of the performance of Shaw, as well as some of his teammates, in the 2-0 FA Cup victory over Brighton on Saturday. “I can’t help feeling the whole Luke Shaw issue is a distraction from the critical aspect of the season,” Neville wrote in his Sky Sports column. “United spent a lot of money and the aspiration was to win the Premier League and go as far as they could in the…
Arsenal defender Bellerin is a Manchester United target. They registered an interest in the Spaniard two seasons ago, and are keeping tabs on him ahead of a possible summer move, according reports. With Arsenal facing a second successive season without Champions League football, it will be hard for them to keep hold of the 23-year-old right-back. They’re looking to overhaul their squad this summer to get back into Europe’s elite competition and would reportedly listen to offers of around £50m for Bellerin.
Usain Bolt has said that his two-day trial at Borussia Dortmund this week will decide whether he can make it in professional football and said he has already asked Jose Mourinho for a chance at Manchester United. “That will determine for me, personally, if I continue or if I say, ‘You know what? I’m probably not good enough,'” Bolt said at the Hublot Match of Friendship in Basel, Switzerland. “It’s what happens in the next two days.” Bolt, 31, retired from athletics in August following the IAAF World Championships in London. He trained with South African side Mamelodi Sundowns in…
Florentino Perez has said he is not worried that Cristiano Ronaldo asked former Guangzhou Evergrande coach Luiz Felipe Scolari about life in China. Although Ronaldo has occasionally been linked with a lucrative move to the Far East, Perez told Onda Cero it was only natural for former colleagues to ask each other about their current work. “Where was Scolari coaching?” Perez asked at a charity event organised by ex-Madrid player Esteban Granero. “If I have a friend who is working in Hong Kong, I ask him how things are there. I don’t know what they talked about.” Ronaldo is under…
Ryan Giggs has insisted he will take no risks over the fitness of Gareth Bale, despite the commercial pressures to play the Real Madrid forward at the China Cup. Asked if there were financial pressures to play Bale — sources say that the Football Association of Wales would lose £100,000 of their reported £1 million participation fee if he did not feature in the tournament, Giggs replied: “Yes, of course. “Any risks, stupid risks, I won’t be taking. But it’s also my first game and I want to get my best team out there. “The relationship with all the clubs…
