6 Reasons Why Bayern Can Beat Madrid

Bayern Munich host Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinal first leg this week, aiming to avenge their painful 6-3 aggregate defeat at last season's quarterfinal stage.

Here are six reasons why the German champions are better placed to reach the final this time around in their quest for a sixth European crown.

1. Heynckes has united the team

The most obvious change since last time out is the fact Jupp Heynckes has returned to replace Carlo Ancelotti, after the Italian was dismissed the day after Bayern's 3-0 group stage embarrassment in Paris.

For his fourth spell in charge, Heynckes inherited a fractious unit amid high levels of discontent with Ancelotti's laid-back coaching methods. In 2017 there were cracks and they showed in this season's campaign as Ancelotti lost the dressing room. But with his supreme man-management skills, Heynckes almost immediately revitalised Sven Ulreich, James Rodriguez, Javi Martinez, Arturo Vidal, David Alaba and the reportedly disgruntled trio of Franck Ribery, Jerome Boateng and Muller.

Heading into the business end of the season, this is now a united squad focusing on the treble.

It is also easy to forget Heynckes knows how to get the job done in Europe's top club competition. His Bayern side disposed of Real at the semifinal stage on penalties at the Bernabeu in 2012, and in three previous seasons he has reached the final each time: winning in 1998 with Real and leading the Bavarians to the showpiece event in both 2012 and 2013.

While the recent 0-0 against Sevilla broke a record run of 12 consecutive Champions League wins for the 72-year-old, almost 20 years on, Heynckes will no doubt still be smarting from being rewarded with the sack eight days after leading Los Blancos to their seventh European Cup.

2. Robert Lewandowski is fit and raring to go

Bayern's main goal threat injured his shoulder ahead of last season's quarterfinal. Without their prolific striker, an out-of-sorts Thomas Muller was handed a more advanced role but Bayern remained toothless up front and slipped to a meek 2-1 defeat -- following 16 successive Champions League home wins -- in Munich.

Inevitably rushed back from injury for the second leg at the Bernabeu, Lewandowski was largely anonymous in the first half, enjoying only 14 touches of the ball -- the fewest of anybody on the pitch. He did convert from the spot -- his eighth goal in nine Champions League games -- to give Bayern a precious advantage on the night but was forced off with just two minutes left after his injury flared up and could only watch on as Real went on to win in extra-time.

Lewandowski has been handled carefully by Heynckes since the end of the winter break, after he initially struggled to shake off a knee injury, and hasn't started an away Bundesliga fixture all year. Now fit, fresh and firing, the Poland star has notched 39 goals in 43 games this season, including a first half double as 18-time winners Bayern reached their 22nd DFB Pokal final with a 6-2 hammering of Leverkusen on Tuesday.

Off the pitch, Lewandowski's recent switch of agent has led to an inevitable surge in transfer speculation, with Real Madrid most heavily linked. That may mean extra motivation for him in this game.

3. Missing Manuel Neuer is not the calamity it might seem

After breaking his foot in September, Neuer has been out for most of the season and back-up goalkeeper Ulreich endured a horrible series of lapses under Ancelotti. However, Ulreich has undergone a remarkable transformation under Heynckes and has been key to Bayern's impressive run of form in three competitions.

Normally the absence of the world's best goalkeeper would be a crushing blow for any side's Champions League chances but Heynckes immediately backed Ulreich as his No. 1 and has been rewarded.

The latest in a long line of matchwinning performances came in the cup on Tuesday with Heynckes hailing his back-up keeper as "exceptional" and a "godsend" after pulling off a host of fine saves to keep Bayern's slender lead intact in Leverkusen.

Last season, Neuer almost single-handedly kept 10-man Bayern in the tie with at least 10 top class saves in Munich, excelling in the return too at the Bernabeu before letting in three goals in extra time.

A few weeks into his spell as No. 1, Ulreich told ESPN FC "It wasn't easy to replace Neuer," but he has grown in confidence and has been one of Bayern's standout players this season. He can harbour genuine hopes of going to the World Cup as Germany's third keeper behind Marc-Andre ter Stegen and the soon-to-be recovered Neuer.

4. Martinez has impressed as a defensive midfielder 

Heynckes' decision to restore Martinez to defensive midfield has proved another masterstroke.

Once Bayern's record signing at €40 million from Athletic Bilbao in 2012, Martinez had been used predominantly in central defence under predecessors Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola (when fit).

He is far from the quickest but his ferocious tackling and ball-winning skills have provided Bayern with great solidity and a robust shield in front of what was a creaking backline. Once again, in similar fashion to the 2013 treble winning season when regularly partnered with Bastian Schweinsteiger, Martinez has become one of the first names on Heynckes' teamsheet and the unheralded key to their treble hopes.

5. Boateng and Hummels' partnership at the back is solid

Last season, Mats Hummels missed the first leg (like Lewandowski) through injury and both of Germany's 2014 World Cup winning duo were still hampered by injury and far from 100 percent for the return as well. With Martinez suspended, Boateng and Hummels bravely played through the pain barrier as Bayern put up a stirring fight with to take the tie into extra time, but it was not enough.

Statistically speaking, if Boateng plays Bayern do not lose. He is the only Bayern regular not to have tasted defeat this season in 29 appearances and did not feature in any of the German champions' losses to PSG, Leipzig, Hoffenheim and Gladbach.

Hummels oozes class and composure alongside the more robust Boateng, while together they represent a reassuring presence at the heart of the Munich backline. Finally fit, Bayern's rocks at the back have a much better chance of keeping Ronaldo and company quiet this time around.

6. There should be no red card 

One of Heynckes' biggest coaching beliefs is to do everything in his power not to risk a dismissal in the Champions League. He always, when possible, takes off a player who is walking the red card tightrope and in danger of crossing the line.

In last season's second leg against Real, Vidal went into the referee's notebook after only five minutes for a clumsy foul on Isco. A red card seemed inevitable the longer the combative Chilean remained on the pitch and he was duly dismissed for a foul on Casemiro in the 84th minute.

With Bayern a man down, Cristiano Ronaldo clinically took advantage by adding a couple more goals to seal his hat trick and Ancelotti was heavily criticised postmatch for his blatant oversight on Vidal.

Back in October, Heynckes recalled his very first game in charge of the player he calls "my Arturo" at Leverkusen in 2009. "Arturo picked up a yellow card after only two minutes," Heynckes said. "In the 10th minute, he made another crazy challenge. In the 20th minute, I had to show him the red card myself. I knew from training how impulsive and aggressive he is. You simply must react."

Vidal certainly won't be getting a red card this time around anyway -- he's been ruled out until the end of the season with a knee injury -- but Heynckes will ensure that Bayern aren't left with a disadvantage again.

This woman finds her husband unattractive; see why she’s still with him

 

A mother-of-two, who has been married for only eight years, admitted that her husband has become so unattractive that she finds every reason not to have s'ex with him.

However, our jaws dropped when she said she can’t leave him because she needs his financial support.

The Australian mother who featured on the ‘Kyle & Jackie O’ radio show on Monday morning as part of the hosts’ Group Therapy segment, left listeners shocked to the marrow when she revealed she has fallen so far out of love with her husband that she can’t bear to look at him in the bedroom.

The unidentified woman has two young daughters with her husband. She shared her story on the show in order to get public advice, because according to her, though she had fallen out of love with her husband, she didn’t want to leave him as she needed his “financial support”. She said,

“I just don’t want him to see my s'ex face anymore because when I look at him I am picturing someone else – I just go through all the artists.

I find every excuse under the sun not to have s'ex, I just pretend I am tired. It’s once a month now and when we do do it I just want to cover up, I don’t want him to look at me because I’ve lost touch with him.

I don’t want to make any eye contact anymore… there’s just no love anymore.”

She said the love ‘just died down’ over the years and there was no specific issue in the relationship. 

“I am in a predicament because if I leave I’m not working and I know he won’t pay child support or help. I am calling out to ask people what I should do.

It’s really hard, there’s no love there anymore and I don’t want to have s'ex with him anymore. I think he thinks I am still into him – he’s not really getting the signs.

I know he has said if ever we were to split he wouldn’t pay child support because he reckons I am nothing without him.”

Radio host, Jackie O pointed out that the woman had said off air that she “winces” when her husband touches her.

“Yes, that’s right. Everything about him just freaks me out but I can’t just say ‘go away it’s over’ because I know he won’t financially support us anymore,” the woman said.

At the end of the segment, it was revealed that 90 per cent of the show’s listeners believed the woman should leave her husband. The woman concluded: 

“I think I will leave. It is just a matter of when and how. But I will get there. I’ll get out there as soon as possible.”

Man arrested for allegedly impregnating 21 year old daughter blames devil

 

Imohimi said the case was reported to the police by concerned members of the public on April 16, adding that the crime was allegedly committed at the suspect’s resident at No. 15, Community Road, Iyana-Oba in Igando, near Lagos.

“The incident started in November, 2017 when the daughter, who was staying with her paternal aunt relocated to the father’s house on his request.

Since then, he has been having inappropriate s'exual liaison with her, the result of the unholy act between father and daughter eventually led to pregnancy.

Investigation into the case revealed that the suspect is a security man but whenever he was going to work, he goes with the daughter.

The strange behavior attracted the attention of the community and they reported the case to the police.

The act is bizarre and a serious crime against our laws and humanity,” the commissioner said. 

Also speaking, Oyelabi admitted having carnal knowledge of his daughter, saying he was seduced. He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that his daughter was possessed by the devil.

“I was in the living room with her one day when she suddenly grabbed me and started kissing me.

I beat her and then took her to a white garment church where I was told that she was possessed.

It happened up to five times before I discovered that she was three months pregnant. This is the work of the devil because I don’t know what to do with the baby,” Oyelabi said.

The police also paraded 32 other criminals, including armed robbery suspects, cultists and fake foreign currency dealers. Imohimi said that a number of items, including chemicals, five locally-made pistols, 10 live cartridges and expended cartridges were recovered from the suspects’ hideouts.

He named other items recovered from the suspects as five laptops, three mobile phones, one Toyota Highlander, one motorcycle and a Volkswagen bus. 

Imohimi said the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded.

Why Mohamed Salah Beat Kevin De Bruyne to PFA award

Judging by the reaction on social media to Mohamed Salah's confirmation as the PFA Player of the Year, there is a distinct split between red and blue following the Liverpool forward's success in beating Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne to the award.

This is understandable. Football is rooted in tribalism after all, so supporters will always back their man, regardless of the merits of the other.

On this occasion, though, it is almost impossible to separate the qualities and achievements of Salah and De Bruyne this season and I am speaking from experience, having cast my vote last week for the Football Writers' Footballer of the Year award, which will be presented to the winner on May 10.

Just like the professional footballers in England's four divisions, my choice also boiled down to one between Salah and De Bruyne -- I did consider City's Leroy Sane, but despite the German winger's outstanding campaign, it would have been difficult to justify Sane ahead of Salah and De Bruyne.

Ultimately, I voted for Salah, despite De Bruyne playing a huge role in City's Premier League title success this season. The Belgian was also instrumental in his club's Carabao Cup victory.

My vote could easily have gone to De Bruyne, but it is all about timing and, with both he and Salah enjoying a fine first half of the season, the Liverpool winger's form surge in recent weeks proved to be the decisive factor.

He may end up with nothing more than a third-place finish in the Premier League to show for his efforts this season, while De Bruyne will head off to the World Cup with two winners' medals stashed away.

But the fact that Liverpool are still in with a chance of winning the Champions League this term is largely down to Salah and his ability to deliver at the most crucial stage of the campaign.

De Bruyne, for all of his brilliance, endured a 13-game goal drought stretching back to January which only ended with his stunner against Swansea at the weekend.

Had he been able to take his game to another level during that time, as Salah has somehow managed, perhaps it would now be City facing Roma in the Champions League semifinals rather than Liverpool.

That may be splitting hairs, but Salah and De Bruyne have both been so outstanding this season that the final decision comes down to those tiny margins.

It will have been the same for the players who voted for the PFA award.

De Bruyne has dominated for large parts of this season, but it could be argued that City have been so formidable that Pep Guardiola's men would still have won the title even without the 26-year-old.

Liverpool, it is safe to assume, would not be in the top four or challenging for a place in the Champions League without Salah's 41 goals in all competitions. 
It is about players who make the key difference at the most important times and Salah has done that, time and again, in recent months during a remarkable run of form.

In 17 games since the beginning of 2018, Salah has failed to scored in just three of them. During that time, he has hit the back of the net 18 times.

The timing of the vote for both awards does not always help in terms of selecting the right winner, though.

The votes for the PFA award are counted with more than a month of the season still to run, while voting for the Football Writers' award ends at midnight on April 30, so it is impossible to wait until the last ball has been kicked in order to make a full judgement on a player's campaign.

If Liverpool fail to win the Champions League, will Salah suddenly look a flawed choice as winner ahead of De Bruyne?

Back in 1999, Tottenham winger David Ginola scooped both awards before the end of the season, but by the time the dust had settled on that campaign, Manchester United had won the Treble and none of their players had been honoured with an individual award.


It has proven to be an anomaly of history that Ginola beat the likes of Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs, Dwight Yorke, David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Peter Schmeichel not once, but twice, in the Player of the Year awards that season.

United's array of talent probably split the vote to enable Ginola to win and there is a likelihood that all of the votes cast for the likes of Sane, David Silva and Raheem Sterling this season played into Salah's hands because they took valuable votes from De Bruyne's tally.

The only consolation for De Bruyne is that he lost out to a worthy rival in Salah.

Scoring 41 goals -- there are probably more to come -- in one season in English football is an outstanding achievement, but it required something out of the ordinary to deny De Bruyne.

Jupp Heynckes want Bayern Munich-Liverpool Champions League final

Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes has said it would be a dream to end his career with a Champions League final against Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

Heynckes, in his fourth spell in charge of the Bundesliga champions, is planning to retire at the end of the season and will be succeeded at the Allianz Arena by Niko Kovac.

In order for his Champions League dream to come true, Bayern must beat Real Madrid in the semifinals and Liverpool need to see off the challenge of Roma.

Heynckes said he was looking forward to a "meeting of giants" against Madrid and hoped that it would end with a showdown against Liverpool and Klopp in Kiev next month.

"If I were allowed one wish, that would be it," he told a news conference in Munich following Friday's Champions League draw.

"There were only three possible opponents left, and that's a fantastic draw. A meeting of giants -- two clubs which have a great tradition in European football, two teams which love to play attractive football.

"It's a difficult draw, but you'd never know whether Roma or Liverpool would have been a better draw."

Heynckes hailed Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored 15 times in this season's Champions League and put his side into the last four with a clinically taken injury-time penalty.

Ronaldo has scored nine goals in six career games against Bayern -- all coming in the Champions League knockout stages -- including seven goals in his last three appearances.

"There have always been outstanding players in football -- Cristiano Ronaldo is one of them. Alongside Lionel Messi, he is the best in the world," he said. "He is no Maradona, he is no Messi. He is a different kind of player, but still world class. He's one of the best, and you must work hard for this every day.

"Still, the team performance is a crucial factor in games like this, and let's hope he won't have his best day."

Meanwhile, Real Madrid director Emilio Butragueno said he expected both sides to "suffer" in the semifinal.

Speaking to BeIN Sports at the draw in Nyon, he tipped Madrid to rise to the challenge as they had done against Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus.

"It is almost impossible not to suffer at this stage of the competition," he said. "We will all suffer, they will too. Bayern are another prestigious team, among the best in the world. But we trust in our players, who for many years have shown what they are capable of."

Madrid are aiming to win the trophy for a third time in succession, and Butragueno said: "It will be very difficult, obviously. But we feel our players can again be up to the level required, and we are excited about the chance to reach another final."

Nigerian man asked to marry dead woman he impregnated

A young man identified as Emenike has gotten himself into hot soup, after he impregnated a lady who was simply known as Emerie, without paying her brideprice.

Reports have it that Emenike got Emerie pregnant, and she died during child birth as a result of birth complications. The baby was saved.

News of the ugly incident which occurred at FESTAC town area of Lagos, which was also where they resided before the occurrence, has spread like wildfire.

Lailasnews learnt that the lovers met in Lagos and lived together, but Emerie was said to own some properties. The young man was from Ngor Okpala while the deceased hailed from Owerri town, all in Imo State.

We gathered that when Emerie was still alive, she had advised Emenike to go to her family and formalise their relationship since they were living together.

He promised to go and pay her bride price but never did. He continued to postpone the date till he got her pregnant, and nothing was done.

It was learnt that they had agreed that since she was pregnant, everything will be done after the deceased must have put to bed, as it was not proper to marry a pregnant woman according to their culture and tradition.

Sadly, the plan did not work out as Emerie had complications and died while she was to be delivered of the baby, and her corpse was deposited at an undisclosed mortuary.

Being confused on how to bury her, Emenike went to her family to inform them about what happened. They told him that he cannot bury her as his wife. Emenike’s family members blamed him also and later went to the deceased family to plead on his behalf.

They implored them that since the baby was alive, they should consider Emenike, and accept him as their in-law and then other rites can be performed.

Reports say both families have agreed that Emenike will have to properly marry the late Emerie according to their culture before he will be allowed to bury her and also inherit her properties and he accepted their condition.

Bayern Munich select Niko Kovac as next coach - reports

Eintracht Frankfurt manager Niko Kovac will be the next coach of Bayern Munich, according to multiple reports in Germany.

A former Bayern defender, Kovac has long been considered a leading contender to replace interim coach Jupp Heynckes, who plans to retire at the end of the season.

And the 46-year-old is now set to take over in July, as first reported by Bild. He will receive a two-year contract, according to kicker, which also reported that a clause in his contract at Eintracht allowed for Kovac to join Bayern or one of two unnamed foreign clubs for a fixed fee of €2.2 million.

Kovac took over Eintracht Frankfurt in March 2016 and helped the club survive a relegation playoff that season before finishing 11th last year.

They are currently in fifth place, just two points behind Bayer Leverkusen for the final Champions League qualification spot with five games remaining.

Kovac said last week he was happy at Eintracht, where his contract runs for another season, but he left the door open for a possible change.

"There is no reason to doubt whether I'll be coach here next year," he said, but added: "So much happens in soccer. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. As things stand now, I am coach until 2019."

Bayern had previously targeted former Thomas Tuchel to take over, but CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge confirmed last month that the Borussia Dortmund boss had turned down the Bavarian club, while sources told ESPN he is Paris-Saint Germain's choice to be their next boss.

Rummenigge also said that Bayern would seek a German-speaking coach, and planned to make an appointment before the end of April. Other reported candidates included RB Leipzig's Ralf Hassenhuttl, Hoffenheim's Julian Nagelsmann and Freiburg's Christian Streich.

During his playing career, Kovac spent two seasons with Bayern Munich from 2001-03. After retiring from playing in 2009, Kovac remained at RB Salzburg as an assistant.

His first senior coaching job came with the Croatia national team, for whom he earlier starred as captain at the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008.

Kovac is also a good friend of his former Bayern teammate Hasan Salihamidzic, who is now Bayern's sporting director.

Heynckes, 72, helped Bayern secure the Bundesliga title last weekend after replacing Carlo Ancelotti in October.

Information from Bayern Munich correspondent Mark Lovell was used in this report.

Lady accused of being a witch, stripped, flogged & excommunicated in Abia [Photos]

An alleged witch who reportedly owned up to her evil secret deeds in Amuda Isuochi, Abia state, was reportedly stripped and flogged by the visibly angry villagers, who also excommunicated her from the community.

Facebook user, Peace Sampson who disclosed that the alleged witch reportedly killed her mother, further disclosed that the lady also killed another woman with four children. Here’s what she wrote;

This woman is a witch from Amuda Isuochi who has been killing people, she also killed my mother bt now she killed another wmn with four children, her secret opened up. Glory be to CHUKWU OKIKIE ABIA AMA PURU IME IHIE NILE

See What Klopp Said About Salah's Transfer Talk

Real Madrid may be keeping a close eye on the in-form Egypt international forward, but those at Anfield have no concerns when it comes to his future

Liverpool manager Jurgen Kloppp is “not worried” when it comes to Mohamed Salah’s future at Anfield.

After netting 39 times across all competitions this season, the Egypt international is now considered to occupy a standing among global football's elite.

That has alerted the likes of Real Madrid to his ability, with the Blancos in the process of drawing up a list of possible summer transfer targets.

Liverpool are aware that their star turn is said to figure on the recruitment radar at Santiago Bernabeu, but Klopp has no concerns when it comes to retaining a 25-year-old talent.

The Reds boss told Sport Bild on the exit talk: “I know that Mo feels very comfortable here and he knows that our style of play suits him very well. So I am not worried about a transfer.”

Salah signed for Liverpool for £36.9 million in the summer of 2017, with the Reds moving to bring a former Chelsea flop back to English football.

They have seen an immediate return delivered on that investment, with the African star hitting the ground running on Merseyside.

That has not been the case for all of the recent recruits at Anfield, with some requiring longer in which to find their feet.

German goalkeeper Loris Karius falls into that category, having endured a testing debut campaign, but the 24-year-old has also come good to justify the faith shown in him by Klopp.

“Maybe it was my fault that I played him shortly after he came back from his hand injury. But I was always convinced of his talent,” said Klopp of a fellow countryman.

“If not, we wouldn't have bought him. Loris is a young keeper with great potential and he does a great job.”

Those at his disposal have helped Klopp to oversee a run through to the semi-finals of the Champions League this season.

Premier League leaders Manchester City are the latest side to have been bundled out of Europe by the Reds, but Pep Guardiola is still held in the highest regard by the man who masterminded his continental demise.

Klopp said of an old adversary: “Everywhere he has been, everyone can recognise his talent. That was the case in Barcelona, at Bayern and now in Manchester.

“If he's not my opponent, I love watching his football. You don't have to force me to watch City games!”

OAU Vice Chancellor speaks on s3x for mark scandal

The Vice Chancellor of Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Professor Ogunbodede, has finally reacted to the scandalous reports of one of its professors requesting an exchange of s3x for pass marks.

On Wednesday, April 11, in a statement personally signed and released to the public, the Vice Chancellor, Eyitope Ogunbodede said that investigation of identifying the person involved is currently in progress.

He said:

Liverpool fear no one after wins vs. Manchester City - Oxlade-Chamberlain

Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is one step closer to his Champions League dream but he believes beating Manchester City over two legs has longer-term implications.

Jurgen Klopp's side won 5-1 on aggregate after a 2-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium to bring up two wins in a week over the Premier League champions-elect and make it three in the season against Pep Guardiola's team.

They could now get defending European champions Real Madrid, Bayern Munich or Roma in Friday's semifinal draw but Oxlade-Chamberlain insists they fear no one.

"This is a massive confidence booster for us. To beat City twice is no easy feat,'' he said.

"We did it twice in a week and we also did it at an earlier stage this season.

"It just shows to us that when we are at the right level we can beat anyone in this league.

"Now it is on us -- whoever we get in the next round -- to go and prove we can beat people in Europe as well.

"People might say Roma [is the preference] but look what they did, they performed amazingly well.

"It doesn't matter who we get, we have to make sure we are ready for anyone and we can beat anyone.''

On a personal level, the England international is excited by the tantalising prospect of a major European final being within touching distance.

"It is everything you dream of when you are a young lad,'' he added. "You want to play in finals and they don't come much bigger than the Champions League final so we've made my dream that one step closer by getting into the semifinals.

"That is what we want to do as professional athletes: get to as many finals and then when you get there you want to win.''

Oxlade-Chamberlain paid tribute to Klopp for the way he handled the team trailing 1-0 having been under pressure for 45 minutes.

He was grateful to see his boss in the technical area while City were left rudderless by Pep Guardiola's banishment to the stands at the interval.

"He [Klopp] is a great manager and he has proved that over the years,'' he said.

"Just as much as tactically he had a good plan, he also has the fire in him to get you all motivated and that is what he did at half-time.

"He calmed us all down and then gave us a little bit of a rocket and just said 'no matter what we do now -- if we go through, if we go out -- we are going to do it our way,' and I think we did that much better in the second half.

"Obviously you always want your manager on the touchline. He is the man you look to at times when we need information [even if] it is hard to shut him off as he shouts loud.

"From what I've seen how Pep manages City he is very vocal as well on the sidelines so that is obviously important -- but whether or not that affected them I'm not too sure.

"I wasn't really aware Pep wasn't on the touchline until someone said they saw it on the TV afterwards!''

What I discussed with Buhari – Archbishop of Canterbury

President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mohammadu Buhari is currently in the UK and earlier today he received Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, at the Abuja House, London.

After their meeting the Nigerian Presidency had circulated a statement detailing the outcome of the meeting.

The Archbishop has also released a statement on what was discussed with the Nigerian President

READ FULL STATEMENT BY THE ARCHBISHOP BELOW.

I expressed deep concern about the suffering resulting from raids on Christian communities and villages as far south as Delta State. We discussed the causes of such depredations, which have led to very many deaths and threaten an escalation of violence. I urged measures to restore confidence in the neutrality of the state, and spoke of the suffering of the poor in such tragedies.

I also raised the urgent situation of Leah Sharibu – the 14-year old Dapchi Christian school girl still held captive by Boko Haram for refusing to convert to Islam – and urged the President to do everything possible to secure her release.

I briefed President Buhari about my pastoral visit to Nigeria in 2014 following the abduction of the Chibok girls, and assured him of my continued prayers for the release of all those still in captivity. The President promised that the Government would do all in its power to secure their release.

No country or society can flourish without excellent education – so it was good to speak with the President about how education helps tackle poverty. I highlighted the vital role that churches in England play not just in educating a million children, but in providing them with values, identity and purpose.

Please join me in standing prayerfully with those suffering from the herder-farmer conflict, the Boko Haram insurgency, and all those mourning the loss of loved ones. It’s so important that we pray for the peace and progress of Nigeria – and particularly for the liberating peace of Jesus to be with all those held in captivity.

Why Salah didn’t do well at Chelsea – Lampard

Chelsea legend, Frank Lampard has revealed why Mohammed Salah did not do well while at the Stamford Bridge.

The Egyptian has scored his 39th goal of an increasingly prolific season to help send Jurgen Klopp’s side through to the last four of the Champions League at the expense of Manchester City.

Lampard played alongside Salah at Chelsea during the Egyptian international’s underwhelming 18-month spell at Stamford Bridge.

Salah returned to the Premier League in the summer, transforming from an erratic winger to a free scoring forward.

Asked if he thought Salah was capable of producing the sort of form he is in currently, Lampard told BT Sprot, ‘No.

“But he didn’t get that many chances [at Chelsea] to show that. But he’s released himself from the wing. At Chelsea he was seen as a winger.

“He didn’t have much impact but there were a lot of players ahead of him, the likes of Eden Hazard who was older than him.
“By releasing himself from the wing he’s been able to show his brilliant intelligence. Even for the goal. Sometimes we watch Lionel Messi and he’s great at just standing in areas.
“Salah’s started to do that, just standing in areas and all of a sudden the ball comes to him and he goes.”

Must Watch: Alleged CCTV footage of Offa Bank Robbery surfaces online

An alleged Closed Circuit Television footage of the Offa Bank Robbery in Offa, Kwara State, has surfaced on the internet.

On Thursday last week, gunmen numbering about 30 had stormed the town and engaged in a robbery operation that was reported to have lasted for about 2 hours without any confrontation from security agents across the state.

No fewer than 17 persons, including nine policemen, were killed in the robbery operation carried out

In the footage, a woman and her child were seen leaving what looked like the ATM house of a bank when gun bearing men started shooting sporadically from the major road.

Two men standing by the small house took off immediately they heard the gunshots, while the camera angle did not show what became of the woman and the child she was holding.

After that, three armed men were seen going around seemingly coordinating what next to do.

Smoke, which appeared to come from explosives were also seen after a banging noise.

Another explosive was later thrown into what seem like the small building housing the ATM.

Then the men went inside and came out.

The CCTV footage could however not be independently confirmed as being that of the Offa robbery incident as at press time.

Watch the Video below:

The Kwara State, Abdulfatah Ahmed has however offered N5 million for information that will lead to the arrest of the perpetrators of the Offa bank robberyattack in Offa town. On Thursday, police officers and residents were killed when armed robbers attacked five banks and a police station.

Liverpool have defeated the best team in the world -- Jurgen Klopp

 Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool deserve to be in the last four of the Champions League after Tuesday's 2-1 second-leg quarterfinal victory over Manchester City, who he calls the best team in the world.

Liverpool withstood a first-half siege from City at the Etihad Stadium as Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino both scored after half-time to guide the Reds to a 5-1 win on aggregate over Pep Guardiola's side.

The Merseyside club are now in the semifinals of the Champions League for the first time since the 2007-08 season.

Speaking at his postmatch news conference, Klopp said: "This league is unbelievably strong, this competition is unbelievably strong. You cannot imagine how much intensity you feel before a game like this.

"I really think they are the best team in the world at the moment but I knew we could beat them. We completely deserve to be in the semifinals.

"Everybody wrote me a message -- 'I will watch the game here, I will watch the game there, I will have a beer together with friends...' I would really like to do that as well, to drink a beer and watch a Champions League game. Unfortunately, it is always work.

"It's all good but it's not that you can enjoy it completely, but I don't care who is in [the competition]. We are here and we deserved it, and I am really happy about that.

"So far, we fought for each opportunity to get it -- and then to use it is so hard. But that's what we will do. The other teams will have their targets as well when we meet them in the semis; I think they are not without ambitions."

Liverpool recovered from going 1-0 down inside two minutes as a result of Gabriel Jesus' goal and escaped going further behind in the first half as Bernardo Silva struck the post before Leroy Sane controversially had a goal ruled out for offside.

"We've matured constantly, that's true," Klopp said. "The boys get more and more used to situations like this. If you could say anything bad about us in the past, the last few months, then it's that on a good day we beat everybody and on an average day we lose with cheap goals.

"Obviously we have worked on that. It's all about confidence, being convinced about what you are doing and stuff like that. We did it, but on the other side it is always like this.

"Yes, if the ball is here or there around the box, in the box, you need to defend it, but it should not happen that often. That only works if you have the ball and then you have to do something with it.

"We are still in a development phase, that's how it is, but already a good team."

Liverpool could be pitted against Roma in the last four of Europe's premier club competition in Friday's draw after the Italian side defied the odds to beat Barcelona on Tuesday night.

Klopp initially thought it was a joke when somebody informed him that Eusebio Di Francesco's side had overcome a 4-1 deficit to go through on away goals against the likely La Liga Champions.

"I walked up the stairs and somebody told me [Roma had gone through] -- I really thought it was a joke," Klopp said. "Not that I don't respect Roma, the absolute opposite. They have a fantastic team -- Edin Dzeko, wow. They lost Mo Salah and they are in the semis, that's quite a big thing.

"I cannot say anything about the game, I didn't expect it before the game but I knew it was possible.

"This competition is quite fair and I really think a normal final would have been Manchester City against Barcelona, and now they are both out.

"But there will still be two other really strong teams in there plus Roma and us. We will see what happens but that's not the thing I have to think about tonight."

OAU Lecturer in trouble after demanding for 5 rounds of s3x before passing female student

A professor of management and accounting at the Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile-Ife has been implicated in an alleged sex-for-mark scandal involving one of his female students who failed his course.

The professor identified as Richard Akindele,  who is also a pastor of a popular Campus church on OAU, was recorded in a conversation with the student

The leaked audio found its ways into the internet and it has since gone viral.

Several students and staff identified the male voice as that of Akindele. It was also gathered that the lady is a final year student, who failed a course taught by Akindele. Several efforts to get the lecturer’s reaction were unsuccessful on Monday.

A senior academic staff in the accounting department, who volunteered to speak, revealed that Akindele was “caught three years ago” for engaging in the sex-for-mark practice.

The leaked conversation suggests the student had refused the lecturer’s initial sex demand to upgrade her. .It appeared, in the audio, that the student deliberately called the lecturer again, to play along, record him and have hard evidence against him.

The following dialogue occurred in the audio:

Student: I was really seeing my period Professor Akindele.

Lecturer: Stop mentioning my name. And now nko?.

Student: I am not on my period now.

Lecturer: Your boyfriend has done it yesterday?

Student: Is it every time that someone will be doing with the boyfriend? Is it every time you do it with your wife?

Lecturer: Yes

Student: It’s a lie, not possible. So what’s the plan now?

Lecturer: Let’s have the first one today and then we will do another one tomorrow. Is our agreement not five times?

Student: Is it B that you want to give me or C? Why would it be five times you will knack me?

Lecturer: That’s what I will do.

Student: Prof, you know what? Let me fail it. I can’t do it five times. For what nah? No worry. Thank you, sir

Lecturer: You are welcome.

When contacted, Abiodun Olanrewaju, the spokesperson for OAU said:

“The university is aware and we are setting up machinery to critically look at the issue to determine the veracity, otherwise there won’t be conclusion.”

Fernandinho Labels Liverpool "Long Ball Team"

Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho claims that Liverpool are a "long ball" team ahead of their Champions League clash on Tuesday.

City need to become only the third team in Champions League history to overturn a three-goal or more deficit to progress to the semifinals after their shock 3-0 first-leg defeat at Anfield.

Fernandinho admits they failed to cope with Liverpool in the first leg and says they must not concede if they are to have any chance of going through.

"They are a team that like to play long balls," the Brazilian told a news conference. "They try to keep the players around the middle.

"I hope we can solve all the problems we had, especially in the first half, in 10-15 minutes we conceded three goals. Then we can apply our type of game.

"[A cleant sheet is] the most important thing for us. If we concede one goal we have to score at least five so we must play our football and more than ever we need our fans to be together with us and we will see what happens tomorrow. I hope we can do our job."

City have now conceded six goals in their last two games following the 3-2 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola's side let a two-goal lead slip to blow the chance of securing the Premier League title against their bitter rivals and Fernandinho admitted that it has been a difficult week.

"It was a tough week for us, two defeats in a week but that's in the past already," he added. "Our focus is on the second leg against Liverpool and the only way to play good football is to be positive.

"Now's the time for experienced players to take over and take charge. Of course we know two defeats are not easy but that happens to the best teams in the world.

"What we have done this season is amazing and we have a chance to go through in the Champions League. It won't be easy.

"[Liverpool] are a team who fight for the ball and try to keep the players in the middle but we will be ready for tomorrow's game."
