In Nigeria, hunger has being the word for  days, hunger is everywhere in Nigeria regardless of how civilized the area is, wether urban or rural area. Hunger has no limit, regard,or respect for anybody, no matter the person's status in life. No man in this world ever desire the visitation of hunger, but yet it will make way into man. In our society today, we are quick to believe someone cannot be a hunger victim, because of his material acquisitions. I knew of a family, the father struggles in France while his nuclear family is based in Nigeria. Many people  believed so far the father stays in France, the family is okay and well to do, whereas the family is bitterly and silently crying everyday in the corner of their room just to get to bread to eat. In recent research, compelling desire for food has become rampant and it is fast getting out of hand in our society. The rate at which people die of hunger is getting out of hand and uncontrollable. AFOUDA HUNGER INITIATIVE is sa...

Mario Balotelli - Nice to Borussia Dortmund Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola claims the ex-Liverpool striker will move to Dortmund for next season. Raiola was spotted at BVB's headquarters in Germany and was asked if there was a possibility that the Italian striker would be arriving. "Yes," he told Bild. "Balotelli will play for Dortmund."

FC Barcelona’s Argentina forward Lionel Messi says he will like to remain with the club for the remainder of his career. “It’s what I have always dreamt of and what I always wanted,” the 29-year-old said. Messi joined FC Barcelona at the age of 13 and made his first team debut at 17. He has since scored more than 500 goals for the club. The Argentine has won the La Liga eight times with Barca, the UEFA Champions League four times and Ballon d’Or world player of the year title five times. Last season under coach Luis Enrique, FC Barcelona were second in La Liga, three points behind champions Real Madrid. They lost 0-3 on aggregate in the Champions League quarter-finals to eventual beaten finalists Juventus. Enrique had announced in March that he would leave the club in the summer after three years in charge. His final match saw Barca capture the Copa del Rey trophy, with Messi scoring the opening goal as they beat Alaves 3-0 to win the competition f...

Ahmed Musa has reportedly agreed in principle to sign a deal with Fenerbahce and is expected to complete a £17.4m move from Leicester to the Turkish club. Fernabache are believed to have started negotiations with Leicester over a potential deal,  according to Turkish newspaper Gunes . The striker is said to have given a green light to the deal after being asked if he would be happy to join Fenerbahçe, who finished third in the Super Lig last season. If he moves to the Turkish side, it would bring to an end an underwhelming stint at Leicester after struggling to make an impact following a £15million move from CSKA Moscow last summer. The 24-year-old scored just four goals in 31 appearances for Leicester City last season. Two of the goals came in the FA Cup win against Everton. Musa played just 11 mins in the Foxes last seven Premier League games of the season.

Craig Shakespeare Leicester City have named caretaker boss Craig Shakespeare as their permanent manager on a three-year deal. The 53-year-old was given the job on a temporary basis in February, following the sacking of Claudio Ranieri. Shakespeare, who has only worked as caretaker or number two, was Ranieri’s assistant after joining the club under former Foxes boss Nigel Pearson. “This is a really exciting opportunity for me to continue along this new path in my career,” said Shakespeare. “Our preparations for pre-season and the new Premier League campaign have been ongoing for some time, but we can now move on with certainty and ensure we are well equipped to compete at the levels now expected of a club like Leicester City.” Shakespeare won eight of his 16 games in charge last season, leading the club to the Champions League quarter-finals.

I extend to President Muhammadu Buhari my warmest sympathies on his sick bed. It is a measure of the fragility of our democracy that an elected President insists on hiding his frailty from the people who are compelled to pay for his treatment abroad.  There is no hiding place in the constitution. Nonetheless, President Buhari is scheduled to return to Nigeria tomorrow.  He will be welcomed with at least one Lagos street protest that the police are trying to muzzle.  That would be another self-inflicted injury, and I urge Acting President Yemi Osinbajo to tell them to back off and go pursue Lagos’ many criminals. I reiterate that it is a shame and an embarrassment that despite Mr. Buhari’s promises and posturing for many years, he sees no irony in running off to the United Kingdom for his medical needs, leaving behind the nation’s most expensive (and presumably best-equipped) publicly-funded clinic in the presidential palace. This fact underlines a ...

Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh FORMER National Publicity Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, has said that the rejection by the House of Representatives of the Bill for Establishment of South East Development Commission does not demonstrate the desired spirit of national accommodation and sensitivity towards the people and problems of the South East zone. Metuh said this on Sunday through a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen, just as he commended the South East caucus of the National Assembly for bringing the needs of the region to the front burner. According to him, it is also heart-warming to note that a good number of lawmakers from other geo-political zones supported the bill, describing the gesture as a “laudable act, showing that other regions are beginning to appreciate the issues related to the developmental predicaments of the South-East.” ...

The National Judicial Council, NJC, has recalled Justice Adeniyi Ademola, who once delivered a shocking against President Muhammadu Buhari’s fake WAEC certificate saga, and was later suspended on trumped-up charges on issues bordering on corruption. In a statement on Saturday, the Council said Ademola who is a Federal High Court Judge, was recalled alongside five others. Recall, that Ademola and seven other Judges were suspended in November 2016, months after he ruled that Buhari must come to the court to defend his WAEC result case. His resisdence was later raide by the Department of State Security Services, DSS, on what the security agency described as a ”sting operation”. The other recalled Judges are: John Inyang Okoro of the Supreme Court, Uwani Aji of the Court of Appeal, Hydiazira Nganjiwa of the Federal High Court, Musa H. Kurya of the Federal High Court, and Agbadu James Fishim of National Industrial Court of Nigeria
