Guardiola accepts Jesus, drops Iheanacho

Manchester City have dropped Kelechi Iheanacho from the club’s squad for the UEFA Champions League knockout stages. The 20-year-old has not featured for Pep Guardiola’s side since coming off the bench in the 4-0 defeat to Everton last month.

Though the club stated that he will still be eligible for selection, Kelechi, who scored 2 goals in the group stages, lost his place to new signing Gabriel Jesus.
The news of the shake-up was announced on the Club’s website:

The 21-man list includes two new additions from the Group Stage, with Gabriel Jesus and Yaya Toure both being made available for the remainder of the competition.
Ilkay Gundogan’s continued recovery from a knee ligament injury sees him removed from the list, along with Kelechi Iheanacho, though the striker remains eligible for selection.

The Nigerian now meets the requirements to be named on UEFA’s ‘List B’, which allows clubs to register an unlimited number of players, provided they fulfil the given criterias.

The UEFA squad includes: Goalkeepers Claudio Bravo, Willy Caballero. Defenders Bacary Sagna, Vincent Kompany, Pablo Zabaleta, Aleksandar Kolarov, Gael Clichy, John Stones, Nicolas Otamendi. Midfielders Fernando, Raheem Sterling, Yaya Toure, Jesus Navas, Kevin De Bruyne, Fabian Delph, Leroy Sane, David Silva, Fernandinho. Attackers Nolito, Sergio Aguero, Gabriel Jesus

Ex-Niger Delta militants back 2face Idibia’s planned protest

Some former militants, under the auspices of Urhobo Ex-Militant Leaders Forum, have declared their support for hip-hop singer, 2face Idibia, who is planning a nationwide protest on February 6, 2017 in Lagos.
In a statement released by the National chairman, Phase 2 ex-militants, Mr H. M. Ebirie, he said “we the Niger Delta ex-agitators are fully in support of the 2face Idibia-led nationwide mass protest against economic hardship and severe hunger in the country.

“The federal government seems to have no immediate measures to cushion plights of the suffering masses and we are ready for the protest.”
“The Federal Government must be awaken to rise up to its responsibilities of creating the conducive environment for economic growth and alleviation of severe hunger in the land through people-oriented policies and programmes,” they said.
Similarly, Youths for Human Rights Protection and Transparency Initiative (YARPTI), has said that it will take part in the demonstration.
In a statement by its Vice President, Dr Joy Tobin, the group said some of its members will march in Lagos, while others will march in Port Harcourt.

It said: “The right to join with fellow citizens in protest or peaceful assembly is critical to a functioning democracy.
“Within the space of a little more than a year, Nigeria’s story has turned full circle from an economy lauded as the largest on the continent with potentials to grow further to one enmeshed in its worst economic crisis in 25 years.
“Now, the economy has officially died and the government is cash-strapped with 27 states owing workers and pensioners backlog of wages.
“This is in addition to about two million workers and pensioners starving because their wages and benefits are not being paid on time while prices of goods in the market have gone to high heavens. All these are due to bad government policies.

“We can’t keep quiet anymore.”

10 most iconic cars of all time

The automotive history is one of the fastest developing ones, which is why the looks and features of different vehicles change so fast. New models come and go, but there are a few of them that made an impact on the auto history. Find out which 10 cars can be called the most iconic ones.

Ford Model T

Before Ford Model T, car travel was only available to the wealthiest people. This car revolutionized the car industry by being the first personal car available to the masses. It was produced for almost 30 years, and 15 million units were manufactured in overall.

BMW X5

The BMW X5 was the first SUV ever designed by BMW, but the lack of experience didn’t prevent the X5 from becoming one of the most famous BMW models in the history. The BMW X5 is praised for its outstanding on-road performance that can compete with any luxury car.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution

For a while, drivers have been dreaming about bringing rally cars to everyday settings, and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is exactly what everyone had in mind. This model is universally adored for its mind-blowing performance and newest tech features.

Toyota Prius

The Prius was another revolutionary Toyota model that was released in 1997. The reason for its iconic status is that it’s the first hybrid car to be produced. The Toyota Prius was designed for environment-conscious drivers who didn’t want to give up their passion for cars.

Acura NSX

The NSX is almost three decades old, and it remains the same technologically advanced supercar that everyone fell in love with in 1990s. The frame, the body, and the engine were all tweaked to perfection, which allowed to drive a true Acura supercar in the city settings.

Volkswagen Beetle

The Beetle is one of the most recognizable cars in the history, and even people outside the automotive community know what it looks like. For a while, the Volkswagen Beetle was the best selling vehicle of all time, thanks to its capable performance and appeal to the buyers.

Land Rover Discovery

While some SUVs have nothing to offer to their owners besides the rugged appearance, the Land Rover Discovery is a true SUV both outside and inside. It delivers respectable performance in every situation, no matter if you’re driving up a mountain or cruising down the beach.

Toyota Corolla

In 1968, when the Toyota Corolla was unveiled, no one could predict how popular this car would turn out to be. The reliability, fun driving characteristics, and great fuel efficiency made Corolla the best selling vehicle of all time, a title that it holds up to this day.

Mazda Miata

Roadsters were very popular in the 1960s and 1970s, but they were forgotten until the Mazda Miata singlehandedly resurrected this type of vehicles. This tiny, beautifully designed and easy to drive convertible, is so popular that the Miata is currently in its fifth generation.

Mercedes Benz S-Class

The lineup of Mercedes cars is filled with iconic models, but none of them enjoys the level of recognition achieved by the S-Class. This luxury sedan has everything you could ever want from a car, complete with state-of-the-art safety features and endless modern technologies

Freedom in the World Scores: Nigeria’s political rights rating has improved

In the 2017 Freedom in the World evaluation, Nigeria’s political rights rating improved to 3 as against last year's 4.

This improvement has been attributed to increased transparency under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration and military gains against the dreaded Boko Haram sect that led to a significant reduction in the group’s ability to alter the religious and ethnic composition of the northeast.

Freedom in the World is an annual survey and report by a U.S.-based non-governmental organization Freedom House. It assesses the degree of political rights and civil liberties in every nation and significant related and disputed territories around the world.

Nigeria’s political rights rating improved from 4 to 3

This year’s Freedom in the World survey evaluates the state of freedom in 195 countries and 14 territories.

The assessment is based on a scale of 1 to 7 with one being most free and seven being least free. Each country and territory is assigned between 0 and 4 points on a series of 25 indicators, for an aggregate score of up to 100. These scores are used to determine two numerical ratings, for political rights and civil liberties. A country or territory’s political rights and civil liberties ratings then determine whether it has an overall status of Free, Partly Free, or Not Free.

In the ratings for 2016 below, Nigeria’s political rights rating was 4 while that of civil liberties is 5. This year, while political rights improved, civil liberties remained the same.

Thanks to Buhari and Nigerian troops for this achievement.

Diamond Bank records 2 million subscribers on mobile app and Diamond Y’ello platforms

Diamond Bank has recorded two significant milestones in its digital banking drive with the signing up of a record two million subscribers each on its flagship mobile banking app –Diamond Mobile app, and its Diamond Y’ello account.

In a statement issued to the press by the Bank, Head, Retail Banking Businesses, Robert Giles, attributed the record milestones to the Bank’s digital innovation and quest to provide customers with convenient banking services.

In his words, “In January 2016, we recorded the one millionth Diamond Mobile app customer having launched the app a few years earlier. We are delighted that we were able to double that number in only one year. This is an affirmation of the trust our valued customers have in our products and services, and we pledge to continuously provide cutting edge services to them”.

Specifically designed for the teeming un(der)banked segment, the Diamond Y’ello account allows customers perform a wide range of banking transactions from their MTN phones without data or Wi-Fi connection. The account has helped the Bank achieve its customer-base growth target in three years, a goal that previously took the Bank ten years to achieve. This further underscores its focus on executing its digital transformation strategy by going beyond banking to meet its customers’ varying needs.

The Diamond Mobile app on the other hand allows Diamond Bank customers carry out a wide range of banking transactions from their Diamond Bank accounts including bills payment, flight ticket bookings, eSUSU (joint savings club), funds transfers, amongst others.

Diamond Bank Plc is Nigeria's fastest growing retail bank, leveraging innovation and technology to enhance customer experiences and drive financial inclusion in what it terms Beyond Banking. Since incorporation in December 1990, Diamond Bank has challenged the market environment by introducing new products, innovative technology and setting new benchmarks through international standards. Today, Diamond Bank is best placed to respond to changing lifestyles and is leading the digital transformation in response to these societal shifts. Diamond Mobile app, for example, is Africa's leading banking app and the first with the touch ID feature.

“Beyond growing the numbers of subscribers, we are focused on enhancing the customer experience on these platforms. So our valued customers should expect more exciting features as we go all out to provide them with convenient banking services”, concludes the statement.

Young lady mercilessly flogged at a police station in Equatorial Guinea

The video of a young lady being flogged mercilessly inside a police station by a uniformed official has gone viral.

A screenshot from the viral video

The controversial act is said to have happened in Equatorial Guinea. Although the offence of the young lady is not known, many social media users feel insulted about the video. While some think a woman should not be treated that way no matter the offence she might have committed, some were also of the opinion that she should be given other punishments instead of this corporal punishment as it looks demeaning.
