President Buhari: I’ve suffered in politics, military

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said that his journey to politics and even as a military officer has been tourtous and challenging, saying, he has suffered in his efforts to serve the country.

President Buhari stated this when he received the delegation of residents in Abuja led by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mohammed Bello, who paid him Sallah homage in his official residence, Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He advised Nigerians to shun politics of sectionalism and individualism so as to make the country great, stressing that Nigeria is blessed with enormous resources scattered in all parts of the country.

He also said that he started and completed the Ramadan fast despite the apprehension in some quarters as a result of his health condition, enthusing that he was feeling healthier and more determined to steer the ship of the country.

The President said he was working hard for the collective interest of the country and that enough had been invested into the country to ensure it remained one entity.

Tax Evasion: Ronaldo to Spend Two Years in Jail

This is not the best of times for Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo who has reached a deal with the Spanish tax authorities to serve two years in prison in a tax evasion case.

The El Mundo Newspaper reported on Friday that the player would also pay €18.8 million (£16.41 million) fine.

According to the publication, Ronaldo accepted four fiscal offences before the tax authorities, each of which carries a punishment of six months in prison.
But, Ronaldo is unlikely to serve any time in jail under the deal because Spanish law states that a sentence of under two years for a first offence can be served on probation.

The 33-year-old Portuguese footballer, who is accused of evading €14.7 million in taxes, has denied all the allegations through his agents.

The news dropped just hours before Portugal’s opening match of the World Cup against Spain. (Reuters/NAN)

President Trump Said He Wants People to 'Sit Up at Attention' for Him Like They Do for Kim Jong Un

In a surprise interview with “Fox and Friends” on Friday, President Donald Trump announced live that he wants his people to “sit up at attention” when he speaks — the same way North Koreans do for dictator Kim Jong Un.

Around 8 a.m. on Friday, Trump tweeted that the morning talk show was on the White House front lawn. “Maybe I’ll have to take an unannounced trip down to see them?” he said.
About half an hour later, Fox News notified reporters that Trump was about to appear on the show. As correspondents from other networks gathered, Trump could be seen walking up the White House driveway.

“You are about to see something on the Fox News that has never happened, we believe, in the history of White House reporting,” reporter Steve Doocy said live on air. “And that is the president of the United States is just outside the press room and it looks like he is en route to our location.”

What followed was a 30-minute one-on-one interview with Doocy. For the last 20 minutes, Trump took questions from the general crowd of White House reporters.

No Regrets Whatsoever, Says Evans' Lawyer As He Withdraws From Trial

Olukoya Ogungbeje, the lead counsel of Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, suspected kidnapper better known as Evans, has withdrawn from the criminal trial.

Ogungbeje made this known in a statement made available to pressmen on Friday, citing personal reasons forhis action.

"For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that we have fought a good fight this far despite repeated and sustained threats to my life and my defence lawyers," he said.

“I dare say we have no regrets whatsoever, having conducted the criminal charges involving our client this far. For the sake of history, we have been able to enrich the basic principles of our criminal jurisprudence, especially the principle premised on: an accused person being presumed innocent until the contrary is proved no matter the public opinion and criticism.

Zamfara killings: I don’t have control over security – Governor Yari

Governor Abdul’aziz Yari of Zamfara State said he had dropped his responsibility as Chief Security Officer of the state as he had no control over security machinery in the state.

Speaking to newsmen in Talata-Mafara on Friday, Yari said that his decision stemmed from the seeming helplessness of the state government and the people over recurring killings in the state.

He deplored the prevailing situation where, as the chief security officer of the state, he could not take decisions on strategies for protecting the state and its people, and have it implemented.

“We have been facing serious security challenges over the years, but in spite of being governor and Chief Security Officer of the state, I cannot direct security officers on what to do nor sanction them when they err.

“As Chief Security Officer, the nomenclature is just a name,” he said.

The governor lamented that it was disheartening that killings in the state had continued in spite of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s order to security agencies to end the incessant blood-letting across the country.

Conte's Uncertain As Chelsea Is In A Confused State

It seemed for much of last season that the hand writing was on the wall for Antonio Conte and that he would be sacked after his side’s FA Cup final match against Manchester United, regardless of the result. As it happened, Chelsea emerged victorious (1-0 through Eden Hazard), but it still looked highly unlikely that the former Juventus and Italy boss would be in charge at Stamford Bridge come the start of the 2018/19 campaign.

Just under a month later, Chelsea have yet to make any announcement on their manager’s future amid speculation linking them with the likes of Maurizio Sarri and Luis Enrique. Indeed, their blunt refusal to pay Sarri’s €8 million release clause annoyed Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis so much that negotiations are now at a complete standstill. There is a good chance that the 59-year-old will now take a year off, having also rejected a lucrative move to Russian Premier League giants Zenit St. Petersburg.



These are worrying times for Chelsea supporters, who surely recognise that no good can come of being subjected to another 12 months of logger-heads between Conte and his superiors. They remain at odds over transfer policy and are at the centre of a long-running feud which has only worsened since Michael Emenalo took the decision to stand down from his role as technical director in order to take up a similar position at Monaco. Ironically, the Ligue 1 club have now established themselves as a model of stability under their Russian ownership.
