The All Progressives Congress (APC) has challenged Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to come clean “on the nagging issue of his travel ban to the United States of America” following his alleged indictment for corruption in that country. The challenge came on Sunday as rumours of an alleged “presidential impostor” gathered momentum. The ruling party accused the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of instigating the ‘silly’ claim. The rumours took a dangerous hype at the weekend following the reported stabbing of a Nigerian diplomatic attaché recently in Sudan. Yekini Nabena, Deputy National Publicity Secretary of APC, in a statement, said the PDP was busy entertaining people with what it called “silly conspiracies around the president, and ignoring credibility issues surrounding its candidate”. He added: “From silly conspiracies on the shape of the President’s ear, a ludicrous allegation of a presidential body d...

Said he, “In the early 1990s, there was a build up by different interest group for urging a return of Nigeria to democracy. “As the momentum generate international interest, the government of the then Gen. Babangida decided to plan on how to retain control should the move became successful. “Part of the move was the establishment of patronage-driven policies, e.g many govt agencies, the ...

Mitsubishi Motors is sometimes the forgotten partner in the three-way alliance with Nissan and Renault that dominates the global auto industry, but the Japanese firm has a colourful — and scandal-hit — history. At an emergency board meeting on Monday, executives from the firm ousted Carlos Ghosn as chairman following the tycoon’s shock arrest a week ago on allegations of financial misconduct. Here are some facts and background about the Japanese firm which employs around 31,000 people and whose products are sold in 160 countries. Scandal follows scandal  Founded in 1970, the Tokyo-based firm has found itself on the brink of the scrap yard following massive corporate scandals. In 2000, Mitsubishi Motors was forced to confess it had failed to inform the authorities about at least 64,000 customer complaints over faulty vehicles since 1977, opting to repair the vehicles itself instead of issuing costly model-wide recalls. Four years later, the scandal broadene...

The form of the 22-year-old has dipped recently but the Super Eagles boss is confident that the attacker will recover from the setback. Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr believes Kelechi Iheanacho is suffering from ‘lack of self-confidence’. The forward who started his senior international career brightly, scoring seven goals in 11 appearances has failed to find the net for the three-time African champions since November 2017. During the last international break, Iheanacho missed a gilt-edged chance to give the Super Eagles a lead against South Africa in a crucial 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers tie. His performance for his Premier League club has also not been impressive having failed to score in his last eight games across all competitions. However, the German tactician has backed the former Manchester City prodigy to rediscover his confidence for Leicester and make an impact for the Super Eagles in Cameroon. "We have all seen how Iheanacho has been playing...

The France left-back underwent surgery to repair a meniscus problem in his left knee last week.

The duo have been struggling over the international break with injuries, but have both returned to training ahead of the game, with pictures showing them both hurdling at the club's Carrington training ground base.

And their involvement will be a welcome boost for Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, who has a number of injury...

Olympic legend, Usain Bolt has opened up on his sex life as an athlete and how it affected his performances on the track. According to Bolt, at the start of his career, he tried to mix and match both sex and high performance on the track. It, however, did not work out for him. “In the early days, I did try having sex before a race, just to see if it helped. It was a disaster. I was nowhere.” the ex-sprint king said. “I’m a young guy. I like to have a good time. I can train hard, but I also need some downtime. If I don’t go out and let off steam, I go a bit crazy. “My coach understood, and we worked out a good system. Even though I went to parties, I was still winning races. If I was coming last, sure, you can tell me to stop partying, but if I’m breaking world records, you got no right to tell me what to do.” Bolt also spoke on his relationship with Kasi Bennett. The pair have been together for over five years.  He said: “I have to talk about it,...
