<br />
Just as surprised as you are to see this headline, so we were when we stumbled on reactions from social media fans across Nigeria and the world who claimed that Pretty Boy shared much similarities to the Guru of Nigeria's Afro pop star, Whizkid. So our crew decided to run a quick research on his profile to know why his fans will dare to compare him with the almighty Whizy...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLsZeTYHLEa7naQWPpOGDHguIahOGEcvdk2RA6VqFPNiIXrEjoghTcnWbZWV_DdKmusIksien5O9v4ijpg3lIipyi4Q3yoXiXtJHvOt8GTjHa6W7qzfv1QaBEhQJ0Rnq4XCefLTGY5ibG/s1600/Vinn+vs+Whizkid.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="844" data-original-width="1337" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLsZeTYHLEa7naQWPpOGDHguIahOGEcvdk2RA6VqFPNiIXrEjoghTcnWbZWV_DdKmusIksien5O9v4ijpg3lIipyi4Q3yoXiXtJHvOt8GTjHa6W7qzfv1QaBEhQJ0Rnq4XCefLTGY5ibG/s400/Vinn+vs+Whizkid.png" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Although, the young lad appears to sound a little bit like whizkid, soft and smooth. When listening to his latest two drops (<b><a href="http://vinnpius.com/" target="_blank">SloWhine</a></b> and just released <b><a href="http://vinnpius.com/" target="_blank">"That Thing"</a>),</b> coupled with other sounds yet to be released.<br />
<br />
In a recent interview, Vinn Pius humbly stated that<br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I try all possible best to be myself, even though some times coincidentally might sound like whizkid. </blockquote>
<br />
He didn't deny being a core whizkid fan for years and hopes one day he rubs shoulders with the guru not as lyrical battles but as friends sipping bottles. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The fast rising artiste has backed some noble awards in his race to fulfill his music career, his fans seem to be his strength as they publicize his tune, set on replay, shares, beliefs, swags, style and movement.<br />
<br />
As compared to the usual attitude of Nigerians being reluctant to purchase music online, he has backed numerous sales on reputable music stores like <a href="http://www.vinnpius.com/2018/08/that-thing-by-vinn-drops-available-on.html" target="_blank">iTunes, Spotify and more</a> in just 2days of his release</div>

Having also exited the last 16 in both 2002 and 2010, Japan suffered knock-out stage heartbreak for the third time.</div>

From the start, the Blue Samurai's tactics were clear - harass and hurry their opponents every time they were on the ball, while living off scraps.</div>

A long-range shot from Eden Hazard was Belgium's brightest chance in the first 45 minutes as Japan kept close tabs on Belgium striker Romelu Lukaku.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 17px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
After a goalless first-half, the game exploded into life.</div>

Japan took the lead when they won possession deep in their own half.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 17px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
The ball was moved downfield quickly and when Vertonghen failed to intercept the final pass, Haraguchi sprinted clear.</div>

He placed his shot just past Thibaut Courtois' despairing glove and inside the far post on 48 minutes.</div>

Falling behind rattled the Belgians as Hazard clattered the post moments later.</div>

Japan doubled their lead on 52 minutes when Inui unleashed a thunderbolt shot off his right boot which flew past the despairing Courtois.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 17px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
Desperate for a goal to get them back in the game, Lukaku headed wide with an hour approaching.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 17px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
With 25 minutes left, Martinez swapped Fellaini and Chadli for Dries Mertens and Yannick Carrasco, which sparked the Belgium response.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 17px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
Vertonghen made amends for his mistake in the build-up to Japan's opening goal when his speculative header from out wide looped over Eiji Kawashima's grasp on 69 minutes.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 17px; vertical-align: baseline; word-wrap: break-word;">
Then Belgium drew level when Hazard's pin-point ball found Fellaini in the middle and the Manchester United midfielder unleashed an unstoppable header on 74 minutes.</div>

It was end-to-end stuff for the final quarter of an hour.</div>

The BET Awards 2018 was held on Sunday night, June 24 in California, USA and a major highlight was the presentation of the award for the Best International Act to Davido on the BET main stage.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm8ICDeuJ19SiZD2q-0HH3mqgKpckPAVJpXzf3jiuCc2wKcuzvYghcUaz01yYs8Yjv7gvtgRTFHEPOGQZ8P_IKcsNzab-IoNgwtqT3mXp-YG1PWguGKz98xKkOwJ6vBqU2KsKkVPgjRema/s1600/Davido.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="290" data-original-width="620" height="149" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm8ICDeuJ19SiZD2q-0HH3mqgKpckPAVJpXzf3jiuCc2wKcuzvYghcUaz01yYs8Yjv7gvtgRTFHEPOGQZ8P_IKcsNzab-IoNgwtqT3mXp-YG1PWguGKz98xKkOwJ6vBqU2KsKkVPgjRema/s320/Davido.jpg" width="320" /></a>The award in its 18th edition traditionally celebrates achievements of black men and women in the entertainment and also honors music, sports, television, and movies.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 2011, the BET introduced the Best International Act: Africa category, which seeks to honour the artistes from the continent following the giant stripes and recognition that the likes of 2face Idibia and D'banj were beginning to attract at that people<br />
<br />
The award which started in 2001, it took 10 years before Africa became recognised<br />
<br />
The first year the award was introduced surprisingly saw two winners share the award, a feature that was uncommon at award ceremonies.<br />
<br />
Nigerian duo of 2face Idibia and D'banj were announced as the joint winners of the 2011 Best International Act category, but more shocking to these artistes was the fact that they never got to receive the award on stage.<br />
<br />
The duo picked up their awards at the back stage, hours before the main event even took place.<br />
<br />
The following year witnessed a similar pattern as the award was again jointly shared by Nigeria's Wizkid and Ghana's Sarkodie with the duo again not getting anywhere close to the main stage.<br />
<br />
But with each passing year, African music continued to grow and artistes from the continent were attracting a global audience aided by the release of D'banj's Oliver Twist in 2012 and the gradual rise of Afrobeats.<br />
<br />
Hence, in 2013 edition, the awards saw a deviation from the double winners path as Ice Prince emerged a sole winner of the category ahead of the likes of 2face Idibia and R2bees.<br />
<br />
The following years saw different winners in Davido, Stonebwoy, Black Coffee and Wizkid in 2017, but every single winner never received the award on the BET stage. African artistes got tired of being identified as BET winners and began to demand for the respect that comes with it.<br />
<br />
In respect of this, an online poll conducted in 2015 by Pulse, and 67.7% of Nigerians voted for African stars to boycott the awards.<br />
<br />
Wizkid who was among the nominees posted a tweeted saying, “So I’m hearing BET is mad cos I didn’t come for the pre shows and interviews.<br />
<br />
I won’t be attending your pre-shows and nominee parties if I’m getting the award at 10a.m. before the main show, same reason I didn’t come back stage to pick up the award when I won the first time''.<br />
<br />
Another nominee, Yemi Alade also refused to attend the awards as she said, “Africa is not a country!!!… it is wrong to nominate huge African stars and publicly try to humiliate Africa.<br />
<br />
Why on earth is the African category of the awards held hours before the ‘main event?<br />
<br />
If African artistes are not worthy in your sight, please by all means cancel, delete, and omit the ‘Best International Act (Africa) category out of the glorified award.''<br />
<br />
It was not just a case of Nigerian artistes standing up as Ghanaian/UK based act, Fuse ODG also took to his twitter page to state his displeasure with the organizers of the awards.<br />
<br />
''The reason why I did not come is because you give our awards backstage! You have no respect for our hard work and achievements.’’<br />
<br />
What kind of encouragement do artistes get when they are awarded in front of hundreds of empty chairs instead of people?''<br />
<br />
But this is 2018 and the excuses are no longer tenable, with the organizers forced to acknowledge this.<br />
<br />
The first move was the transformation of the category from the Best International Act Africa, to simply the Best International Act and this time, it incorporates artistes of African heritage based in countries from around the world.<br />
<br />
The organizers also announced via a tweet that the award will be presented on its main stage for the first time since the creation of the awards.<br />
<br />
This is a good step, but it is long overdue.<br />
<br />
<br />
Nigerian artistes now collaborate more with international stars and beyond the music, they are also influencing the pop culture with Wizkid recently joining the Dolce and Gabbana runway.<br />
<br />
African voices have grown louder than backstage or pre-stage recognition, if Wizkid can record a song with Drake or Davido perform on the Summer Jam stage as Gucci Mane, why can't they receive their award on the same stage as the others.<br />
<br />
The journey has been long and it is welcoming to see Davido pick up his award on the main stage of the BET Awards, a move that is thoroughly deserving as African artistes have earned their place among the best.</div>

After a slim scale through over the super eagles, Lionel Messi stated that he knew his Argentina team will beat their Nigerian counterpart in their last Group D game of the 2018 FIFA World Cup played on Tuesday, June 26.<br />

<br />
Speaking after the game Messi was happy with the result that made his Argentina team progress to the round of 16.<br />
<br />
He said, “We already knew we were going to win, we were confident that God would help us, that all would turn out well.<br />
<br />
“But we did not expect the complication of the draw, to suffer so much. What's important is that we went through.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He also stated that even though the Nigerian team held on for long before Marcos Rojo’s winner, the possibility of a draw was not in consideration.<br />
<br />
“We did not expect the complication of the draw, of suffering so much.”<br />
<br />
After just one point in their opening two games against Croatia and Iceland Messi said, after the Super Eagles defeated Iceland they knew it was up to them to take advantage of the opportunity<br />
<br />
“Without a doubt, we knew that an opportunity had fallen from the sky after the two games we had not been able to win and we knew we could not let this one escape.”<br />
<br />
He also confirmed that he is happy with the result of the encounter, “I'm good. I'm very happy. It would have been very painful to have been eliminated in the first round.”<br />
<br />
Messi and his Argentine teammates will face France in their round of 16 clash scheduled for Saturday, June 23.</div>

Former ivory coast player Didier Drogba has adviced the Nigerian team to keep their style of play if they must go far at the ongoing 2018 Fifa world cup<br />
<br />
He made this known while speaking at BBC sports on Saturday, that the super eagles must keep to their aggressive and fast style of play if they intend to go far in the tournament.<br />
<img alt="Related image" src="https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--tWUwGa9p--/c_scale,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/qan9huodejotv281tesb.jpg" /><br />
The former Chelsea striker said "it has been a disappointing start to the world cup for Africa until Nigeria beat Iceland on Friday. There had been six defeats in seven games for the five African countries in the tournament. so it was great to see the super eagles win, but the way they did it was as important as it was impressive<br />
<br />
"in the second half, Nigeria came to life and played the way i want to see all African teams play, going on the attack, using their pace and power , and having lots of shots. That is what i did not see in their first game against Croatia"<br />
<br />
He went ahead to say that Nigeria should keep their identity as a team if they intend to reach the last 16, saying if they decide to stay defensive and start fearing conceding goals, they might be heading home".</div>

Mourinho who coached Mikel when they were at Chelsea has given his opinion on the best position that suits the Super Eagles captain.<br />
<br />
Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr was criticised by several pundits such as Jay Jay Okocha for playing Mikel in the 'No 10' role as he lacked creativity in an advanced midfield role against Croatia.<br />
<br />
Several other observers that reacted to the Super Eagles loss have suggested that the Super Eagles captain be brought back to a withdrawn role for the subsequent group games against Iceland and Argentina.<br />
<br />
Mourinho who tipped the Eagles to progress beyond the group stages gave his opinion on Nigeria's defeat to Croatia while working as a pundit for Russian TV station, RT.<br />
<br />
Mourinho echoed the statements of Okocha by saying that Mikel is good as a defensive midfielder rather than in as the creative hub of the team.<br />
<br />
He said, “Nigeria lost a good No.6 to get a bad No.10.”</div>

<br />
the head coach Zlatko Dalic confirmed this when speaking to a specially arranged news conference that Kilanic would depart Croatia's team due to recurring back spams and not based on any disciplinary measures<br />
<br />
Dalic in his statement mentioned that, Kalinic was supposed to come on in the second half against Nigeria, but later complained about his back ans that he wasn't ready to play.<br />
<br />
"The same thing happened during Brazil friendly in England as well as before the practice session on sunday he added, and i have calmly accepted that, and since i need my players fit and ready to play, i have to make this decision"<br />
<br />
His absence means Croatia lacks a specialist alternative to Mario Mandzukic.<br />
<br />
Croatia would be back in action as they take on Argentina in the Nizhny Novgorod on Thursday. </div>

Its been three weeks since the woju crooner and former G-worldwide star announced the changing of his name from "Kiss Daniel" to "Kizz Daniel".<br />
<br />
But apparently, he did not trademark the name, and former record Label has come out to claim ownership of the name "Kizz Daniel"<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTOM-F9giTJCcXS2UktF2Zwvkha6_Z1LdtuVjjwbKW4s6gy-SzvcPJGvxmGC730bsw8v8EvrSg_UB9k793hdV_93xxzQIb18tSSRdEOTdfQVlOIdZAEz7YkMFLWHWsYyvwlniH4R2XegB1/s1600/kizz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><b><img border="0" data-original-height="579" data-original-width="463" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTOM-F9giTJCcXS2UktF2Zwvkha6_Z1LdtuVjjwbKW4s6gy-SzvcPJGvxmGC730bsw8v8EvrSg_UB9k793hdV_93xxzQIb18tSSRdEOTdfQVlOIdZAEz7YkMFLWHWsYyvwlniH4R2XegB1/s320/kizz.jpg" width="255" /></b></a>Since the changing of the name, the former Label had remained silent until Friday June 15 2018 when it released a statement saying that the whole world should take note that the new name "Kizz Daniel" is also owned by G-worldwide.<br />
<br />
A presiding judge of the federal high court had on may 16 told Kiss Daniel's lawyers to settle with G-worldwide and report on the settlement at the adjourned date of June 26 2018, as he does not believe that he case should be one that should go to trial, but until now no settlement deal has been reported.<br />
<br />
G-worldwide has advised the general public to take note that they are also the owners of the name "Kiss Daniel" and has notified all digital platforms to take down any of the materials where the name "kizz Daniel" is in use as this is a breach of the company's intellectual property rights.<br />
<br />
They further advised the public and other artists to desist from engaging the artist in respect of the name, adding that it would not hesitate to take appropriate legal actions to obtain judicial redress where necessary.<br />
<br />
Artist Kizz Daniel is still yet to respond to these allegations.</div>

<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 19px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
Even though the system was initially funded by the state and pupils were known for engaging in menial jobs to fund the system, they are now more associated with begging on the streets to make ends meet.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 19px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
According to the report by VOA, it is believed that Shekau himself begged on the streets of Maiduguri before he fell in with Yusuf's group who was a vocal advocate against western education.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 19px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
During a military crackdown on the group in 2009, Yusuf and hundreds of other Boko Haram followers were killed, paving the way for Shekau to take control of the group and wage a bloody war against the Nigerian establishment, killing around 30,000 and displacing millions from their homes in an insurgency that has lasted nine years.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 19px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
Falmata wants God to touch Shekau's heart<br />
Falmata said she has not seen her son since he joined Yusuf and disclosed that she prays to God to touch his heart to put an end to his atrocities.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 19px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
She said, "I don't now if he's alive or dead. I don't know. It's only God who knows. For 15 years I haven't seen him.<br />
"Since Shekau met with Mohammed Yusuf, I didn't see him again. Yes, he's my son and every mother loves her son, but we have different characters.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 19px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
"He brought a lot of problem to many people. Where can I meet him to tell him that these things he is doing is very bad? He brought many problems to many people, but I am praying for God to show him the good way."She also expressed disappointment at how her son has turned out, saying it's not the values she instilled in him.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 19px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
"He just took his own character and went away. This is not the character I gave him. I don't know what this type of behavior is. It's only God who knows," she said.<br />
The VOA report also revealed that Shekau's father was a local district Imam before he died a few years ago. </div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 19px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
Since he took over the reins of Boko Haram after Yusuf's death in 2009, Shekau has been the face of Boko Haram's reign of terror which has led to the death of thousands and displacement of millions.<br />
He has attacked schools, markets, mosques, civilian settlements, military bases and, at some point, took complete control of some local government areas in the country.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 19px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
His group most notably abducted 276 female students from Government Secondary School in the town of Chibok in Borno State, an act that garnered the group international attention and condemnation.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 19px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
The Nigerian government has claimed several times that the Boko Haram leader was killed by troops, but he's been known to emerge to discredit those reports every time.</div>
<div style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 19px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
According to her, Shekau left home as a young boy to continue his Islamic education in Maiduguri where he eventually met Mohammed Yusuf, the founder of Boko Haram.</div>

The World Cup hosts Russia dint hold anything back as they thrashed Saudi Arabia 5-0 in the tournament's opening match in Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium on Thursday.<br />
<br />
The heroic victory has transformed the Russian squad to heroes and gave football lovers and the whole Russians a reason to celebrate Russia's biggest World Cup victory in post-Soviet history.<br />
<br />
Everyone from senators and regional leaders to President Vladimir Putin himself congratulated coach Stanislav Cherchesov and the team memebers.<br />
<br />
"The head of state called me and congratulated me," Russia's manager said.<br />
<br />
"told me to keep playing the way we were, to keep going."<br />
<br />
The team entered the tournament without tasting victory in more than eight months.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqqFUbsjvFHEy74ll79L2h49PxkHbZxD9Yw4US0077dsDMjdiXUY0jYN2_Qqz7gMLq2Yb2YAr6gd5T-sO8uBSGIyNJ5HtoXIpwyxDub1YXQ2q6lFGlCKOgESTVyEjF2SvXokJUSJoOIA4n/s1600/russia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="542" data-original-width="870" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqqFUbsjvFHEy74ll79L2h49PxkHbZxD9Yw4US0077dsDMjdiXUY0jYN2_Qqz7gMLq2Yb2YAr6gd5T-sO8uBSGIyNJ5HtoXIpwyxDub1YXQ2q6lFGlCKOgESTVyEjF2SvXokJUSJoOIA4n/s320/russia.jpg" width="320" /></a>They had registered just one shot on target in their last two World Cup warmups.<br />
<br />
Four of Russia's defenders and a starting forward had been ruled out for the tournament with injuries.<br />
<br />
One Moscow news website dubbed the matchup between the 70th-ranked Russians and the 67th-ranked Saudis -- the two worst teams in the tournament -- as "Bad vs. Worse".<br />
<br />
'We're not so bad'<br />
Cherchesov kept fiddling around with formations and few could tell which players he would start once British pop star Robbie Williams finished belting out his opening ceremony set.<br />
<br />
It all worked out in the end.<br />
<br />
But it will all get that much harder from here on out.<br />
<br />
"It could have easily been 1-1 if we were not careful," said Cherchesov.<br />
<br />
"And our opponents will be getting stronger by the match."<br />
<br />
Russia next play Egypt on June 19 in Saint Petersburg and finish off Group A against two-time World Cup winners Uruguay in Samara on June 25.<br />
<br />
They are still not guaranteed the top-two finish that would ensure they do not join South Africa as only the second World Cup host nation to fail to qualify from their group.<br />
<br />
And the Egypt match got that much bigger with the return to fitness of Mohamed Salah ahead of the Pharaohs' own clash on Friday with Uruguay.<br />
<br />
Salah has not played since injuring his shoulder in Liverpool's Champions League final loss to real Madrid.<br />
<br />
If fit, he is precisely the type of clinical finisher to give Russia's defence a nightmare.<br />
<br />
And Cherchesov's problems in the back were already so dire that he had to ask 38-year-old Sergei Ignashevich to come out of international retirement for one last curtain call.<br />
<br />
Ignashevich started on Thursday but rarely had to touch the ball against the Saudis.<br />
<br />
He and goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev can expect to be far busier with Salah leading the Egyptian charge.<br />
<br />
Yet Russians are still riding a wave of jubilation and the World Cup is off to a scintillating start.<br />
<br />
"I was really worried, but it turns out we are not that bad!" store manager Anton Irofeyev said, summing up the mood of many Russian fans.</div>

<br />
The two priests, Rev. Fathers Joseph Gor and Felix Tyolaha, were killed on the altar during a mass along with 17 worshippers when the attackers invaded St. Ignatius Quasi Parish Ukpor-Mbalom in Ayar-Mbalom community of Gwer East LGA on Tuesday, April 24, 2018.<br />
<br />
Their bodies will be buried at the Ave Maria Prayer Pilgrimage Ground, on the Ayati hilltop in Gwer LGA with Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, joining mourners on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
The Director of Communications, Catholic Diocese of Makurdi, Rev. Father Moses Iorapuu, previously disclosed that all the dioceses across Nigeria have been directed to organise vigils as well as hold simultaneous celebration of the lives of those killed as a mark of solidarity with the Makurdi diocese.<br />
<br />
Benue has been troubled by violent attacks this year as a spate of attacks by suspected cattle herders have led to the death of over 200 victims.<br />
<br />
The bodies of 73 men, women and children were buried at a mass burial ceremony organised by the state government on January 11 after several attacks by cattle herders.<br />

While speaking at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Westminster on Wednesday, April 18, 2018, President Buhari remarked that a lot of Nigerian youths wait on handouts from the government.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzBPWMlGfyZP-jgnBwHhx2eWTI4QAwjPguBcHHa-xy6KvwGF7BMshce7qRhnL9LtRfOGZ_tdnggL4jwmtO07Ksv7w1NiYlt5KkcQyErVaCGDVEEfMqbTNO0-qbGDEvWtcfucAXNRDaX5pq/s1600/Buhari-USIP-speech.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="599" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzBPWMlGfyZP-jgnBwHhx2eWTI4QAwjPguBcHHa-xy6KvwGF7BMshce7qRhnL9LtRfOGZ_tdnggL4jwmtO07Ksv7w1NiYlt5KkcQyErVaCGDVEEfMqbTNO0-qbGDEvWtcfucAXNRDaX5pq/s320/Buhari-USIP-speech.jpg" width="320" /></a>"More than 60 percent of the population is below 30, a lot of them haven't been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria has been an oil producing country, therefore, they should sit and do nothing, and get housing, healthcare, education free," he said.<br />
<br />
Even though the comment was interpreted as a dismissal of the work ethic of most Nigerian youths and drew criticism from political opponents and the public, the president has never directly explained his remarks.<br />
<br />
However, while speaking during an interview with Voice of America, Hausa service, in Washington, United States on Tuesday, May 1, 2018, the president said his words were misinterpreted by the media who love to do what they like.<br />
<br />
He explained, "You know Nigeria's population is now between 180 and 190 million and 60 per cent of this population is youth that is 30 years downward.<br />
<br />
"You know in the North most youths are uneducated or school dropouts. If not because we had good harvests in the last two farming seasons the situation would have been deteriorated.<br />
<br />
"These youths even if they travel out of the North for greener pasture they hardly make it economically because what they earn as income cannot afford them to meet their basic needs or return home.<br />
<br />
"All these explanations I made, they refused to highlight them in their report and you know the media in Nigeria in most cases only do what they like.<br />
<br />
"For instance the nation's achievements in the agricultural sector where millions of Nigerians benefited financially were left unreported by the media."<br />
<br />
President Buhari is currently on a working visit to the United States where he met his counterpart, President Donald Trump, at the White House on Monday, April 30, 2018.<br />
<br />
Buhari's words manipulated - Presidency<br />
After the relentless wave of criticism that trailed Buhari's London comments, his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, released a statement to allege that his words had been deliberately twisted by mischief makers to fit their agenda.<br />
<br />
According to him, the president did not say that all Nigerian youths are lazy, but rather a lot of them. He further argued that the president could not have taken a swipe at all Nigerian youths because he values the youths, and knows that they are the fulcrum on which the future of the country rests.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364948609143437604.post-72095994799545795062018-04-25T06:16:00.000-07:002018-04-25T06:16:31.338-07:00Senator Dino Malaye Threatens To Kill HimselfThe lawmaker who had refused to honor police invitations for weeks before he was declared wanted and eventually arrested on Tuesday has threatened to kill himself to implicate the police force.<br />

<br />
"The senator also refused to go to Lokoja because he had previously secured a court relief for the case to be moved to Abuja," his media aide, Gideon Ayodele, said.<br />
<br />
While he was being transported on Tuesday, the lawmaker refused to be moved by officers and sat stubbornly on the floor by the side of the road.<br />
<br />
In a video that has emerged online, he can be seen insisting that he won't follow the officers to Lokoja and that he would resort to killing himself to put the officers in trouble.<br />
<br />
He can be heard saying, "I will kill myself and put all of you in trouble. Which court are you going to meet in Lokoja at this time?"<br />
<br />
Senator Melaye later escaped custody of the police with the help of unknown thugs who blocked the path of the police vehicle conveying him, prompting the lawmaker to jump out of the vehicle through the window and escape with the hoodlums.<br />
<br />
A police statement read, "At about 12pm of today (Tuesday) Sen. Dino Melaye while in lawful custody of the Nigeria Police Force and being taken for arraignment in Federal High Court Lokoja, from Abuja, escaped from lawful custody when hoodlums and miscreants in Two (2) Toyota Hilux Vehicles blocked the Police vehicle conveying Senator Dino Melaye around Area 1 Round About, Abuja and in the process the Senator jumped out of the Police vehicle through the window and was rescued from the Police men by hoodlums and miscreants to an unknown destination."<br />
<br />
The Senator resurfaced at the Zankli Medical Center in an ambulance, apparently unconscious, around 4:25pm and was admitted into the emergency unit. A medical official told Premium Times that Melaye was not in critical condition, but he was suspected to have broken a vertebrae.<br />
<br />
A team of at least 30 armed police officers caught up with Melaye in the health facility and took custody of the room he was admitted into.<br />
<br />
According to the police, one of the vehicles used by the hoodlums to aid Melaye's rescue was recovered by officers on Tuesday. The police statement also disclosed that Senator Melaye will be arraigned in court without further delay.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364948609143437604.post-70509546423997532582018-04-23T08:43:00.000-07:002018-04-23T08:43:31.136-07:00Police Invades Senator Malaye's ResidenceSenator Dino Melaye has raised an alarm over the 'invasion' of his residence in Maitama, Abuja by ‘fierce looking’ and armed mobile policemen.<br />

They currently laid siege on in and around the house,” Melaye tweeted on Monday, April 23, 2018.<br />
<br />
Senator Melaye was arrested by men of the Nigerian Immigration Service at the international wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on Monday, April 23, 2018, on his way to an official assignment in Morocco.<br />
<br />
Spokesman of the Service, Sunday James, said that Melaye was arrested by Immigration officials “based on instruction".<br />
<br />
The Police, however, denied knowledge of Melaye's arrest.<br />
<br />
“He had been released almost an hour ago,” said Gideon Ayodele, Melaye's spokesman confirmed.<br />
<br />
Senator Melaye’s arrest comes weeks after the Kogi-west lawmaker was declared wanted by the Police for allegedly supplying arms to some suspects.<br />
<br />
Melaye was declared wanted alongside six others after two of the suspects escaped from Police custody in Lokoja, Kogi state.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364948609143437604.post-52940462265880308542018-04-23T07:19:00.000-07:002018-04-23T07:19:34.376-07:00I Have No Problem With Mourinho- Paul Pogba<br />

The 25-year-old has come under intense criticism which has seen him dropped from the starting line up as well as being substituted on several occasions.<br />
<br />
The relationship between the pair has reportedly worsened in recent weeks as club captain Michael Carrick is reportedly acting as a mediator for both parties.<br />
<br />
Pogba has, however, come out to dismiss the rumors about a possible standoff between him and Mourinho.<br />
<br />
In an interview with French television programme Canal Football, Pogba stated that Mourinho makes the decision for the team and he has to accept whatever decisions are made.<br />
<br />
“I do not have any problem with Mourinho, I do not think he has either.”<br />
<br />
“He's the coach, he's going to make choices and I as a player, I accept them. That is all.” Pogba said.<br />
<br />
Pogba has been linked with a transfer to several clubs such as a Paris Saint-Germain and also a possible return to Juventus.<br />
<br />
He has however also dismissed the possibility of a move as he intends to focus with Manchester United till the end of the season.<br />
<br />
“For now I'm at Manchester United, I really only think about the present, transfers are not in my head.”<br />

<br />
The actor turned politician took to his Instagram page on Monday, April 23, 2018 to declare his intention.<br />
<br />
According to him, he wants to bring the problems of the country to its last bus stop.<br />
<br />
"Today I declare my interest to run for President of the greatest country in the world, Nigeria. A blessed country that has been crippled by decades of bad leadership. Enough is Enough!Fellow Nigerians, stand with me let us bring the problems of our country to the THE LAST BUS STOP!!!" he wrote.<br />
<br />
Yul Edochie's decision to run for president might not be far from his last statement concerning president Muhammadu Buhari.<br />
<br />
It would be recalled that he once said the president shouldn't run for a re-election in 2019.<br />
<br />
The actor and one-time governorship aspirant in Anambra state made this known while releasing a short video. In the video, Yul Edochie made a passionate plea to the president to allow a younger person to take up the challenges currently facing the country.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1364948609143437604.post-23268632255087296832018-04-23T03:04:00.003-07:002018-04-23T03:04:32.431-07:00Senator Dino Malaye Arrested <h3 align="justify" style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px none; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 19px; vertical-align: baseline;">
