Former (BBA) couple Pokello and Elikem get messy on instagram



I'm saying former couple because there's no way two people who are still together will put each other on blast on social media like this.

For those who don't know them, Pokello Nare (from Zimbabwe) and Elikem Kumordzi (from Ghana) met on Big Brother Africa: The Chase, last year and began dating. In May this year, Elikem proposed to Pokello at the Ghana Music Awards in Accra. But it looks like that 'great' love story has ended because they are fighting over some woman on Instagram. See what they posted after the cut...

Residents flee their villages after receiving letter from Boko Haram



Residents of Kukawa and Gubio villages in Borno state have fled their villages after they reportedly received a letter from Boko Haram informing them of an impending attack on their communities.

A resident of the village, Modu Kaka who spoke with Sahara Reporters, said immediately they received the letter, thousands of residents fled.
"They had attacked other local government areas around us. So when we received threat letters from Boko Haram that they would attack us soon, we all had to flee for our lives. We heard what happened to people in Damasak where a similar threat was made and carried by Boko Haram.” he said

A senior Bono state government official who hails from Gubio, one of the villages reportedly written to, confirmed the mass exodus of the villagers from their villages to the state capital, Maiduguri where some of them have either settled in with relatives or moved into the Internally Displaced Peoples camps.

Rich Chinese man builds free luxury flats for poor people in the town where he grew up



A 54 year old Chinese businessman Xiong Shuihua did something amazing for the community where he grew up in Xinyu, Southern China. He paid to bulldoze all the wooden huts in the area then spent millions replacing them with an estate of luxury flats for the residents.

In total, he housed 72 families to repay them for their kindness towards him while he was growing up. He's also giving villas costing about £4m pounds to another 18 families who were particularly kind to him. In addition, elderly and low paid residents will also be given three meals a day for free.


According to reports, five years ago, the place was run down with muddy roads, but now that he's making millions from the steel industry, he decided to repay the favour his neighbours showed him. Xiong Shihua said he could afford the project because he had earned more money than he knew what to do with.

How Lagos nursing mother got infected with Ebola virus - doctor


A medical doctor has described how a nursing mother who is one of the confirmed cases of the Ebola virus in Lagos contracted the disease while attending her antenatal care at First Consultant Hospital in Obalende, Lagos where the first victim of Ebola virus in Nigeria, Patrick Sawyerr, died. The lady was confirmed to have the deadly disease after testing positive at the NNPC staff clinic on Muri Okunola street in the Victoria Island area of Lagos.

Speaking anonymously with Punch, the doctor said;
'The lady attended ante-natal at First Consultant prior to the arrival of the Liberian, Mr. Patrick Sawyer. She was delivered of her baby at the hospital after which she was discharged. A few weeks later, Mr. Sawyer came around and was attended to by health workers. He was first treated for malaria, then typhoid, before there was high index of suspicion. He tested positive for Ebola and died. Then the woman, who gave birth at the hospital came back to the hospital for her baby’s immunization. The nurses who attended to Sawyer also attended to her. When she visited the place again last week, she discovered the place had been shut down for proper fumigation as a means of control against Ebola.” he said. Continue...
Seeing that the hospital has been shut down, the lady who had started showing signs of fever proceeded to the NNPC staff clinic which was close by.
'She was first treated for Malaria. However, after some medical tests, there was a high suspicion of Ebola haemorrhagic fever. On Friday, the Lagos State’s emergency response team on Ebola virus came around and took her to the Infectious Diseases Hospital,” he added.
The management of the hospital after confirming she had the deadly virus immediately shut down the hospital indefinitely.
Confirming the doctor's report, the Medical Officer of Health, Iru-Victoria Island Local Council Development Area, Dr. Wale Akeredolu, said the woman's baby has been quarantined and is under surveillance 
“The baby has also been quarantined to see if after the incubation period of two to 21 days, she would manifest the symptoms of Ebola.” he said

Rummenigge: Reina is our new goalkeeper

Pepe Reina Spain

Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has confirmed an agreement with Liverpool over the transfer of goalkeeper, Pepe Reina for a reported £2 million.

In an interview from Bayern’s US tour, Rummenigge stated that they had finalised an agreement and that Reina was now their goalkeeper (pending a successful medical).
“Yes, we’ve reached an agreement.  Reina is our new goalkeeper.  He is very experienced and fits the profile the sporting directors were looking for. He wanted to come to Munich, even though Manuel Neuer is the number one.”
Reina is expected to undergo a medical in the coming days but is not expected to join the team for the tour of the United States, a tour he just came home from with Liverpool and will train at the club until he is rejoined by his new teammates.
Guardiola had stated earlier this summer that his intention was to bring in a keeper to rival German international goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer for the starting role, which he has seemingly found in the ever-spry Reina.
Reina leaves Merseyside having made 395 appearances for the Reds since joining the club from Villarreal in 2006.

Leo Messi and Sergio Busquets to be named Barcelona’s new vice-captains


Messi & Xavi
Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets will reportedly be named Barcelona’s new vice-captains, with the team’s two senior figures; Andres Iniesta, who will be named second in line and Xavi, who will be named club captain in place of the retired Carles Puyol.
According to Esport 3, new manager Luis Enrique allowed his team to vote for their captains on Tuesday following the departures of previous club captain Carles Puyol and Victor Valdes- one of the vice-captains.
In order the captains for the coming season will be: Xavi, Iniesta, Messi and Busquets.
This has yet to be confirmed by Luis Enrique and the club but Messi and Busquets inheriting the vice-captain roles would be a logical decision, as the four-time Ballon d’Or winner is also the captain of the Argentine national team, while Busquets is one of the most decorated players and a strong locker room presence, while also inheriting Puyol’s number 5 shirt.

Atlético Madrid linked with €32m move for Kagawa and Chicharito


KagawaChicharito
Atletico Madrid are close to finalising their squad ahead of what will be a long 2014-15 season and with several names linked with moves away from the Vicente Calderon, Manchester United duo Shinji Kagawa and Javier ‘Chicahrito’ Hernandez, as well as Chelsea’s André Schürrle have all been linked with Diego Simeone’s side.
Atletico Madrid have already formed one of the more formidable attacks in Europe adding Antoine Griezmann and Mario Mandzukic to replace Diego Costa and David Villa, but the club is still linked with several moves to make the squad even stronger.
Atleti have been linked with both Kagawa and Chicharito on separate occasions throughout the summer, but a recent report by The Guardian has the La Liga champions prepared to pay €32 million for the talented duo, who have become outcasts at Old Trafford.
Simeone feels that Chicharito would be an excellent compliment to Mandzukic, while Kagawa would not only ease the pressure off Koke, allowing the Spanish international more creativity as opposed to the tactical approach of Kagawa, but also open up the Japanese market to the club.
In another reported, this time by Spanish sports daily, AS, sees Atleti linked with 24-year-old German international striker, André Schürrle, who has not been given sufficient minutes since joining Chelsea last summer for  €23 million from Bayern Munich.
Due to the friendly relationship between Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, the report suggests a move for the versatile forward, but it would mean the departure of two players.

Pepe Reina set for £2m move to Bayern Munich


Pepe Reina Spain La Roja
Liverpool goalkeeper, Pepe Reina will reportedly make a £2m move to German Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich and reunite with his former Barcelona alum, manager Pep Guardiola.
Reina spent last season on loan to Italian Serie A side, Napoli, but was unable to secure a permanent move due to the player’s wages, but after not playing in any of Liverpool’s pre-season matches in their US tour, Reina urged the club to negotiate his transfer.
Reina will now end his eight-year spell at Anfield, after The Times’ Tony Barret and This is Anfield reported that Liverpool had accepted an offer from Bayern Munich, which was been reported to be worth £2 million.
Guardiola had stated earlier this summer that his intention was to bring in a keeper to rival German international goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer for the starting role, which he has seemingly found in the ever-spry Reina.
Reina leaves Merseyside having made 395 appearances for the Reds since joining the club from Villarreal in 2006.

Davido finally addresses beef with Wizkid, says he was upset about Wizkid's shade


In an exclusive interview with Sahara TV, Davido, who is currently in the US, said his recent online beef with Wizkid was because of the shade Wizkid threw regarding their concerts in the US...
"It's not beef at all..but I'm the type of person if I feel something..to me everything you do, you don't hit your brother down. This is the first time I'm saying this but the only reason I was upset was because of the NY concert. I was even going to tweet like you know 'make sure everybody turn up for my brother Wizkid's concert' and he threw a shade like that. I'm not going to take that...that's why I went and said what I said. But it's all cool, at the end of the day, we got to keep it on the music. Shout out to him. I'm still a big fan. It was never nothing but don't throw a shade at me...especially when we were on the flight earlier. By the way, check the numbers on my last concert. Let's leave it like that.." David said.

Redeemers University student who killed father remanded in prison



The murder case against 21 year old Redeemers University student, Tolani Ajayi, who killed his 60 year old lawyer father, Charles Ajayi, on July 21st at the Redemption camp, came up for hearing today August 5th at an Ogun State Magistrate Court in Owode-Egba, Ogun state.
 
The Magistrate, Bolaji Ojikutu after hearing the charge against Tolani ordered that he be remanded in prison until October 10 when the case will be heard again. The case file, according to court sources, will be sent to the Department of Public Prosecution, DPP, for advice.
 
 Sadly Tolani had no legal representative in court today and so could not enter any plea. Continue...
 
The charge against Tolani read in part: 
“That you, Tola Ajayi, on 21 July, 2014, at about 4am at Canaan-Land Street, RCCG Camp, Mowe in the Owode Egba Magistrate Court District did unlawfully kill one Charles Ajayi, aged 60, by matcheting him with knife and cutlass and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 316 and punishable under section 319(1) of the criminal code, laws of Ogun State of Nigeria. 2006.”
Tolani, who has long expressed regret over the unfortunate incident, said anger was what made him carry out the abominable act. He said an argument with his father degenerated into a physical attack first from his father before he attacked his father with a kitchen knife and a machete.
