REAL MADRID: WHERE ARE THE GALATICOS?



Thirteen times European Champions Read Madrid footballing Club of Spain are not having the best of times.  The once invincible ball jugglers are already wobbling after only few weeks into the new 2019 – 2020, league campaign.  The worst is that returnee coach Zinedine Zidane appears to have lost his magic wand especially after the pre-season heavy defeat to city rivals Athletic Madrid by such a scandalous margin as 7-3.  Sports enthusiasts however felt the blame should be put on the doorstep of Club President, Fiorentino Perez whose blind love for fumbling Karim Benzema has beclouded his search for a suitable striker, after the departure of Christiano Ronaldo. Their thirst and hunger for goals has since vanished with lesser known teams humbling them right in their lair-the Bernabeu.

Having signed players like Luka Jovic, Eden Hazard and a few others, the Club still pin their faith on the ageing striker who has continued to misfire in front of goal post and now it is no longer a laughing matter.  Their recent 1-1 draw against Real Valladoid at the Santiago Bernabeu has left fans impatient and it may not be long before they call for the head of Zinedine  Zidane.

WORSHIPPERS THRONG TO KUJE FOR BISHOP DAVID EDOBOR (ANGEL 1)

Kuje, a suburb in the capital city of Abuja is witnessing an unusual traffic: hundreds of worshippers are seen trooping to stadium road in Kuje where Bishop David Edobor, General Overseer of the Joshua Generation Church is blazing the trail, performing spiritual feats, healing, delivering and restoring damaged destinies. The young General Overseer popularly known as “mathematical prophetic” “accuracy bazooka” has declared repeatedly: ‘you can doubt my prophesies, but you cannot doubt the outcome!” Preaching last Sunday, 16 th September, the cleric disclosed that the examination of life has no timetable unlike that of common exams. He said that is the reason why worshippers must not toy with their destiny background-and where they come from. Bishop Edobor has restored many destinies and not a few people have had breakthroughs in marriage, travel overseas, employment, healing, etc. The Edo State born man of God has been variously described as “small oyedepo” from the way he prea...

STOP THE ILLEGAL DETENTIONS IN ICPC NOW BUHARI TOLD

The Independent Corrupt Practice and Other Related Matters Offences Commission (ICPC) were set as an anti-corruption agency to rein in persons involved in suspected shady deals and sharp practices. But in recent times as investigations have revealed The commission appears to have derailed as it is fast losing that tag as an anti-corruption agency.  Preliminary investigations have unearthed some sharp practices of illegal detentions on spurious charges, unauthorized raid and sealing of victims houses and unwarranted blockages of victim’s accounts. “This bad practice must be discontinued” declared Mr Rafiu Ibrahim, Secretary-General of Association for Good Governance and Transparency (AFGT). Throwing more light on the sad development, the Secretary-General wondered why the ICPC would detain without charges any suspected Nigerian for upwards of two weeks without proceeding to court, while systematically extorting various sums of money from the detained Nigerian.  The Secretary-Ge...
