The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu has told Ekiti people that 95% of their votes must be given to him. In addition, he told them to reject Atiku Abubakar of the PDP and Peter Obi of Labour Party because they don’t know them. Speaking at the inauguration of newly elected Ekiti State governor, Abiodun Oyebanji in Ado Ekiti, Tinubu said “Another election is coming by February. Will you be ready? Shine your eyes. Don’t forget your PVC.” “They’re coming; One will say he is Atiku (Abubakar). One will call himself Peter Obi. You don’t know them,”…

Liverpool inflicted the first defeat on Manchester City in the Premier League campaign this season, securing a 1-0 win at Anfield. Mohamed Salah marked a return to form with the decisive goal, scoring a sublime effort by turning Joao Cancelo before clipping his strike over Ederson. Alisson was again the one who assisted the Egyptian with a long range clearance. Salah had earlier missed a one-on-one, which looked to be costly when Phil Foden found the net. However, Foden’s effort was disallowed by VAR for a foul by Erling Haaland on Fabinho. City were to rue the foul as they…

Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi on Sunday denied receiving private jets from some individuals he didn’t name for his many tours. The former Anambra state Governor said this in a tweet, while thanking the individuals people claimed gave him planes. “Recently, several social media reports have alluded that some eminent Nigerians have donated their personal jets for my use during my campaign. In as much as I appreciate the expression of such hopes, I have never received any of such offer,” He said in a tweet. “I pray that those eminent Nigerians mentioned, are not unduly distracted by such…

Barcelona fell to a defeat on Sunday when they travelled to Santiago Bernabeu to take on their eternal rivals, Real Madrid in this season’s first El Clasico. Karim Benzema opened the scoring in the 12th minute after Ter Stegen parried an initial Vinicius Junior strike unto the path of the French man who tucked in to get his side going. The Madridstas doubled their lead ten minutes before the break when Vinicius drove forward on his own to take on the Barca defence. Support eventually arrived, and he freed up Mendy, who in turn found Valverde, who smashed a low…

Arsenal had to depend on their 21-year-old forward, Bukayo Saka again to get all three points against a resilient Leeds United side. The Nigerian got the opener in the 35th minute after some quick exchanges with Martin Odegaard and the sumptuous finish from a tight angle would prove enough to win the game. Leeds thought they had a penalty late on after Gabriel fell Patrick Bamford in the box, but VAR reviews ruled against that. Instead of a red card, Gabriel got a yellow and Arsenal got a free kick as the game came to an end. Saka has now…

Mason Mount grabbed the all the accolades as his two goals were enough to see off Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa at Villa Park. He got his first in the 6th minute of the game after a mishit header by Tyrone Mings fell nicely for him. For his second in the 65th minite, when a wickedly dipping free-kick came in from the left side of the area, over 20 yards out from goal, Mount flummoxed Martinez and found the back of the net! His shot crossed the line in the centre of the goal, so Villa’s keeper would have been disappointed…

Manchester United were unable to find a way past Newcastle United on Sunday as they recorded another unwanted history. Newcastle saw the better of the first-half but it was United who looked sharper in the second – although neither side had quite the necessary quality to score a breakthrough goal and take what was a pretty flat, unexciting game by the scruff of its neck. Ronaldo was unable to get a goal, instead picking up a yellow card and was eventually replaced by Marcus Rashford on 72 minutes. Rashford had a great chance to win the game at the death,…

G.K. Chesterton once said, “The problem of disbelieving in God is not that a man ends up believing nothing. Alas, it is much worse. He ends up believing anything.” When someone says they have lost their faith, they end up holding to illogical givings that hang in mid-air, or are not based on solid foundations. Worse still, they end up making those incoherent givings god. This is how man was made, man always has religious instincts he can never lose, no matter how much they try to suppress it. Man is not just a moral being, he is also a…
