Manchester city sinks chelsea at stamford brigde

Sergio Aguero celebrates
Sergio Aguero now has 12 goals in his last 12 Premier League games

CHELSEA  0::3  MANCHESTER CITY
A Sergio Aguero hat-trick moved Manchester City closer to securing Champions League football next season with victory at 10-man Chelsea.
City profited from slick break-aways, the first goal arriving when Kevin De Bruyne fed Aguero, who fired in.
Again De Bruyne led a clinical counter after the break, finding Samir Nasri, who put Aguero clear to finish smartly.
Thibaut Courtois was sent off for fouling Fernandinho, allowing Aguero to whip home his third from the spot.
Chelsea threatened occasionally before the goals but faded and City move third, a point ahead of Arsenal - who have a game in hand - and four clear of Manchester United.
When this fixture was scheduled last year, it seemed unthinkable that only one of these sides - the last two winners of the Premier League - would be battling for a top-four spot.
They have both underachieved, but City at least have targets as the season draws to a close and they were clearly sharper in west London, none more so than Aguero.
The Argentinian has now scored at least 20 goals in three Premier League seasons, a feat only achieved by Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Les Ferdinand.

City's red-hot duo

There can be little doubt City's season has gained a new lease of life in recent weeks and it is notable it has coincided with the return of De Bruyne from a lengthy injury lay-off.
Both he and Samir Nasri drew saves from Thibaut Courtois in the opening period but it was De Bruyne who always looked likely to turn defence into attack for the away side.
When the Belgian suffered knee-ligament damage in January, City were second in the table, three points behind leaders Leicester. They managed just two wins in seven league games without him and one wonders how close they would be to lifting the title now had he stayed fit.
He has now had a hand in 28 goals this season - scoring 15 and creating 13 - and encouragingly for manager Manuel Pellegrini with a Champions League semi-final to come, his relationship with the clinical Aguero looks sharper than ever.
Aguero, who now has 13 goals in 12 league games, will deservedly make headlines. But in De Bruyne, he once again has a support act boasting pace and guile in abundance. Could it be that the enforced rest through injury has left him fresh to do damage at the business end of the season?

I was drunk when I raped my step-sister

rapeA 36-year-old man, who allegedly raped his 15- year-old step-sister has confessed to be drunk when he committed the act. The suspect, Ime  Martin, who was paraded alongside other suspects at the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, yesterday, by the Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, said boldly before newsmen, “I was drunk when I committed the act.” It was learned that the victim (names withheld) started living with the family at five years, and the suspect was said to have started defiling her last year. He was alleged to have raped her severally before he was arrested. The victim told reporters: “He slept with me twice, first when I was 14 years old last year and the second time was last Sunday, when my aunty and her son traveled. The first time, I reported to my aunty, when my aunty confronted him, he denied it. “He said I was careless and probably I had left the door open and an unknown person had come to rape me. He sounded so convincing and my aunty believed him. “The second time which was on Sunday, when he came into the room, he covered my mouth and raped me. I struggled with him, but he overpowered me. That night, I ran out of the house. The young man I ran to was our neighbour and I reported what had happened. He also almost raped me. So, I ran and I saw the police patrol van from Lion Building, who rescued me.” The suspect, Ime  Martin, also told his story: I was drunk that night and did not know what I was doing when I raped my step- sister. I raped her only once.”

Bread seller-turned model, Olajumoke goes back to school

Olajumoke, bread-seller turned model


Lagos—Bread seller-turned model, Olajumoke Orisaguna has headed back to the classroom.

The lovely mother of two whose picture went viral when she stumbled on TY Bello’s set in February this year has reportedly started a programme with Poise Nigeria, a Nigerian etiquette and finishing school run by Mavis Isibor.Jumoke is said to be taking courses at the up-scale Lekki campus in English Grammar and Communication, and also in Total Personality Development.

In only a few months, she became a brand ambassador for Payporte, and scored modelling gigs with fashion brands like Salma Guzel. She has also been interviewed on CNN, and has become the most googled person in Nigeria.

Sequel to catching the eye of  the world, the budding model was advised to acquire some form of education to avoid being taken advantage of, and ensure that her career does not grind to an abrupt halt.

One concerned Nigerian undergraduate of the University of Lagos; Nneka Ibemesi put it, “Without an education, she will not go far, and as it is people are just telling her what to do. The day she demands for what she really wants, her career will end.

“Since she started making headlines, many people had predicted that her stardom might be short-lived, as she does not have the proper training to sustain where she has been placed.”

Ibemesie stated her fear of the tendency of extortionists to use an ignorant Jumoke to further their own agenda, without necessarily having her interests at heart. I guess people just want to use her illiteracy to make money and gain publicity.”

Jonas Gutierrez wins Newcastle United discrimination tribunal case

Jonas Gutierrez
Jonas Gutierrez left Newcastle United in May 2015 after seven years at St James' Park

Midfielder Jonas Gutierrez was dropped by Newcastle United because of his cancer diagnosis, an employment tribunal has found.
The 32-year-old was suing the Magpies for about £2m on the grounds of disability discrimination.
The tribunal also ruled the club made it impossible for Gutierrez to trigger an appearance-based contract extension.
Newcastle say they are "dismayed" by the judgement and are considering further options with their legal team.
Gutierrez's barrister Martin Budworth said: "The tribunal has made it clear that a Premier League football club owes the same duties to a disabled person as any other employer."
Claims of unfavourable treatment and another of harassment related to disability were dismissed.
A further remedy hearing will be held in due course, in which compensation will be addressed.
Although Gutierrez has not released a statement, he did post on social media, saying: "Always in my heart Geordie nation. I love you."

Gutierrez's claims

Gutierrez, who joined Newcastle from Real Mallorca in 2008, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in October 2013.
He had been a regular at St James' Park before that time, scoring 10 goals in 177 appearances at the time of the return of the illness and subsequent treatment.
The Argentina international sued Newcastle over the way he was treated following his diagnosis and claimed the Premier League club saw him as a liability after he returned from treatment.
Gutierrez, now playing for Deportivo La Coruna in Spain, also alleged that he was not selected for some of the second half of the 2014-15 season, when the Magpies avoided relegation on the final day of the campaign, so the club would not trigger an automatic one-year contract extension.

The findings

The tribunal found that Gutierrez was discriminated against following his diagnosis and subsequent return to fitness as it deemed he was considered part of the club's plans right up to the point of his absence.
The ruling stated:
  • Gutierrez "had maintained his place in the starting line-up without difficulty for five years."
  • "Just over two weeks after the claimant returned to the club in November 2013 following his diagnosis and treatment, and at a point when he was match fit and returning to action he was told that he no longer featured in the club's future plans. We conclude that the decision to drop the claimant was because of the claimant's cancer."
The tribunal also concluded that Gutierrez was not considered for selection following his return to fitness until he could not achieve the 80 Premier League starts required over the length of his four-year contract to trigger the extension.
As a result of his absence because of cancer, Gutierrez had only 121 games instead of 152 to earn his extended deal and the club had discriminated against him by failing to make reasonable adjustments.
The ruling stated:
  • "It was in essence more difficult for the claimant to achieve the required number of games because in the periods of time that he was not absent for treatment or rehabilitation he had to be more frequently selected as a proportion of the total number of games available than his non disabled counterparts. We conclude that this was a substantial (more than minor or trivial) disadvantage."
  • "Had the possibility of a triggering of the clause not been an issue then Mr Charnley [Newcastle managing director Lee] would not have needed to discuss it at all with Mr Carver [former manager John] and would not have needed to double check how close the claimant was to triggering the clause."
Claims of unfavourable treatment were rejected, as his move to Norwich City on loan in January 2014 was consensual.
A claim of harassment which related to Gutierrez training and playing with the under-21s was also dismissed as the tribunal ruled that many players, such as "Davide Santon, Siem de Jong and Gabriel Obertan" were required to do so to gain match fitness after injury.

The witnesses


Parts of John Carver's evidence were "vague" and "rejected"
John Carver

  • Gutierrez was found to be a "credible and convincing witness".
  • Former Newcastle boss Alan Pardew "was able to deliver his evidence in a confident, convincing and articulate way".
  • However, "the detail of what was said was not necessarily as credible as the manner in which the evidence was delivered". Some of Pardew's evidence was deemed to be contradictory and "inconsistent".
  • Managing director Charnley's evidence was described as "evasive and lacking in credibility".
  • Parts of former Newcastle boss John Carver's evidence were "vague" and were "rejected".

Newcastle's unconvincing evidence

  • In August 2013, Newcastle's doctor club advised that Gutierrez, who was recovering from a hamstring injury, should be picked as a substitute "at the very most".
  • Pardew had picked Gutierrez to play and told the hearing that he "did not understand" the doctor's advice, a claim the tribunal considered "improbable".
  • Pardew was dismissive of the doctor's notes in Gutierrez's medical record, which read: "Somehow managed to start game against Manchester City. Manager's decision, against medical advice."
  • Charnley would not accept that Gutierrez was an established international player, despite winning 22 caps and playing at the 2010 World Cup for Argentina.
  • Charnley "could not say" how many international players Newcastle had in their squad in September 2011.
  • Charnley said that Gutierrez's 71 starts in 76 games in 2011-12 and 2012-13 only "demonstrated someone who plays for the first team" and not consistent performance.
  • Carver told the tribunal that Gutierrez "had a certain clause in his contract if he reached a certain criteria".
  • He later said there was no discussion about the clause and denied knowing what the "certain criteria" might be.

SECOND EDITION:: ‎FOREIGNERS LITERALLY ENSLAVING US IN OUR OWN MOTHERLAND


SUBTITLE

IS NIGERIA INDEPENDENT OR WAS IT JUST A MERE VERBAL AGREEMENT WITH THE BRITISH COLONIAL MASTERS??

Hello readers, it’s quite unfortunate that my previous post in relation with this one sparked a lot of controversy, but do I look like I care?. One reader from china sent me a mail with all sorts of vague words and she summarized it with  “ **explicit** controversial blogger”  I simply replied “thanks I’ll make that my blog’s subtitle”.  
On the contrary, many people applauded the post but if I start revealing comments one after the other you might get stuck in reading the preface without going through the content.  The title remains but with a subtitle I termed “ is Nigeria independent or was it just a verbal agreement with the british colonial masters?:::: I’ve tried but couldn’t fathom the direction our dear nation Nigeria is headed. A man once said that this country is like the titanic ship that very soon it’ll hit an iceberg, he said this like a decade ago, and me with little or experience in life back then replied mildly “God forbid” but now I understand what he meant by that, cos if you recall the titanic movie, that part the ship met the iceberg wasn’t funny at all. Another notable man in Nigeria Hon Patrick Obaghiagbon said in an interview with sunrise T.V that “the ship of the nation is hovering round the political Bermuda triangle”, you may tag this man a person with sophisticated grammars that has no meaning but he was my favourite in the house of Rep. Nigeria today is still hanging in the balance, like I said, am yet to fathom her direction, it’s over fifty years of independence but we’re still in the scratch.  Every new leader elected or selected (whichever way) tells same stale story the previous one told and at the end we see little or no result.
We are independent but we take orders like we’re still in the colonial years.   Nigeria last time i checked was seventh in  forbes world most populated country but we have nothing (in terms of economic balance) to show for it.   Anybody given a little position will like to exploit it, they don’t care about the masses once their pockets are filled, their children attending the best institutions In the world.  Tell me why foreigners won’t alienate us in our own country? Since our leaders turned their backs on us after pocketing a significant amount of hard currencies given to them as bribe by the aliens (foreigners), the so-called aliens will do as they wish even those from hunger-stricken country now become lords in Nigeria.

Like I said in my previous post, foreigners don’t even need our opinion in their company, they do their meetings all by themselves then pass sickening and unchallengeable orders to us. The worst of it all is that most of them (aliens) don’t even have a permit to live and work here, when the representatives of the agency  in charge visits them, they bribe them with cash and some of their products, now tell me how they’ll value us? , they’ll say to themselves “they are bunch of hungry corrupt fools just give them N2000 they’ll go” and it works for them!!!. isn't that shameful??.
Please this is a wake up call for everybody concerned cos i know the well being of this country is for our own betterment and also for generations to come.  Let's join hands if possible heads and make Nigeria a better place to stay cos God already blessed us with war-free zone, no natural phenomena and a greenish part of the planet, so the fate of the nation is in our hands, let's handle it with care cos it's fragile.
NOTE:: am not a homophobist, just trying to straighten things up!!!. but life's all about choice , you are bound to believe whatever you want to believe, it's your right but as for me IDGAF 
GOD BLESS NIGERIA
