   Former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode has said that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo's claim that Christians and southerners are the greatest beneficiaries of President Muhammadu Buhari's government was a further prove of the existence of a villa curse.  Osinbajo had while addressing newsmen in Lagos, argued that Christians and southerners got more juicy appointments under Buhari's government.   But reacting to the claim, Fani-Kayode suggested that the vice President has gone out of limit and must have made his claim as a result of being under the Aso Vlla curse.  "Surely even the madness of blind fanaticism and misplaced loyalty has it's limits.

Although he came on after 17 minutes following Ander Herrera's injury, this signifies that relations between Pogba and Mourinho have broken down.    It reference a song released by hip-hop artist Drake recently, a song about his future and separation. The photo also shows the 24 year old in his training kit, instead of his actual kit. A huge chunk of United fans that actually commented, begged their keyman to remain with the cl

  On the day Jacob Zuma finally caved to pressure to quit as South African president, he ranted to the state broadcaster for an hour about the ill treatment he had received at the hands of the party he had served since his teenage years. Zuma, besieged by sleaze and graft scandals throughout his nine tumultuous years in power, said it was “unfair” the African National Congress had told him to resign, mainly because his comrades had not followed proper party procedure. Jacob Zuma  To South Africans who have suffered economic stagnation and national embarrassment under Zuma, it was yet more evidence of a leader unable to look beyond the byzantine inner workings of Africa’s oldest liberation movement to consider the greater good of Nelson Mandela’s ‘Rainbow Nation. It was Zuma’s mastery of the ANC’s internal dynamics that enabled him to survive for so long, but his political influence had been on the wane since Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa replaced him as ruling party lea

  Chelsea's drubbing at Watford reportedly wasn't enough to cost Antonio Conte his job. Conte won't be sacked in the wake of Chelsea's 4-1 defeat at Watford, and his position wasn't discussed after the game, according to BBC Sport's Simon Stone. The Italian manager apparently gave the Blues' footballers three days off, and sources at Stamford Bridge point to the club remaining in the Premier League's top four as the reason not to make a change, as well as its presence in the Champions League and FA Cup. The beating suffered at Watford marked Chelsea's third loss in four games in all competitions, and the first time since 1995 that the Blues were defeated by three goals in consecutive matches. The cold streak includes a 2-1 loss at Arsenal in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup and a 3-0 thrashing by AFC Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge. Conte   I'm not worried about my job.

   One of the Premier League transfer window's most speculated moves has come to fruition, with Chelsea announcing the signing of Brazilian-born full-back Emerson Palmieri from Roma.   The Blues revealed the news with a statement on its website on Tuesday, adding that the 23-year-old has joined the west London lot on a four-and-a-half-year deal.
