World markets dive as Trump sparks trade, North Korea worries

Global stocks sank Wednesday after US President Donald Trump said he was not satisfied with talks that are aimed at averting a trade war with China. Equities were also dented by poor eurozone economic data, and as Trump cast doubt on a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Trump (is) continuing to drive uncertainty over global trade,” said analyst Joshua Mahony at trading firm IG. “European markets are following their Asian counterparts lower, as a pessimistic tone from Trump is compounded by downbeat economic data,” he added. Markets had surged Monday after US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He said they had agreed to pull back from imposing threatened tariffs on billions of dollars of goods, and continue talks on a variety of trade issues. However, Trump has declared that he was “not satisfied” with the status of the talks, fuelling worries that the world’s top two economies could still slug out an economically pain...

Bayern Munich sack Carlo Ancelotti.

Bayern Munich have sacked coach Carlo Ancelotti in the wake of their Champions League defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain, the club announced on Thursday. “Following an internal analysis in Munich on Thursday 28 September 2017… the club is to part company with head coach Carlo Ancelotti with immediate effect,” Bayern said in a statement on their website. Former player Willy Sagnol, the ex-France international who had been serving as an assistant to Ancelotti, has been named interim coach. Pressure had already been building on Ancelotti with Bayern enduring an inconsistent start to the season before losing 3-0 to PSG in the French capital on Wednesday. After that game the Italian was questioned by German media about his tactics and team selection, following his decision to leave Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben and Mats Hummels on the bench at kick-off. “The performance of our team since the start of the season did not meet the expectations we put to them,” said Bayern ...

Zimbabwean Man Hangs Out With Prostitute, She Shares Pics With Wife As Blackmail

According to Hmetro Zimbabwe, a woman believed to be a lady of the night is alleged to have leaked her photograph with a married lover in order to extort money from him. Trisha Dzuro, who brags over snatching married men, is alleged to have asked a freelancer photographer at Zindoga Shopping Centre to capture her downing ‘wise waters’ with her married lover Taperesu Zhou recently. Trisha is alleged to have later leaked the photograph to Zhou’s wife Tabeth by sending a love message and the photograph with the intention to extort her lover’s money, impeccable sources told H-Metro. Contacted for comment, Zhou confirmed receiving calls from an anonymous female voice threatening to embarrass him if he failed to pay her money. “To be honest I was cheating with Trisha for some time but I have since stopped after discovering something I cannot disclose,” said Zhou. “I do not remember how and when the photographs were taken because I was drunk but I smelt a rat after an anonymous caller demande...

I stole my boss’ car to travel to Europe’ .

Operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, (SARS) of the Lagos State police command have arrested a sales boy, who allegedly stole his boss’ Sienna bus from his Magodo residence. 
Two accomplices were arrested alongside the 28-year-old suspect, Austin Akan. It was gathered that Akan visited his boss’ home last Thursday, where he deceived one of the domestic workers that his boss instructed him to bring the vehicle. 
He however, took the car to one of his friend’s place in Oshodi, where it was kept pending when they would get a ready buyer. But the bubble burst after his boss lodged a complaint at SARS, where detectives swung into action and a team of operatives led by Aduroja Akinola, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, apprehended Akan in his hideout. The vehicle was traced to where it was parked. During investigation, Akan disclosed that his intention was to sell the stolen vehicle and travel out of the country. Speaking with The Guardian, the Akwa Ibom State-born sus...

I Come, I Came And I Concer": Lady Says As She Celebrates After Her Final Exams -.

Come on! Are these people joking or do they really mean what they write? A Polytechnic graduate took to Facebook to celebrate after writing her final exams but she made a blunder that has given her post attention. Sharing a photo of herself and coursemates, she wrote: "I come I came and I concer". Obviously, she meant "I came, I saw, I conquered". She will not be the first to make such a mistake. Just a month ago, a university graduate while rejoicing after writing his final exams also made a similar blunder. Is this a sign that something is seriously wrong with the education system in Nigeria?

Mother Serena ‘can fix everything’, says Li.

Chinese great Li Na backed Serena Williams to pull off a quickfire return to tennis after the birth of her first child — but said there was no way she could have rushed back to the sport. Williams, 36, has spoken of her “outrageous” plans to defend her title at the Australian Open in January, less than five months after giving birth to her baby daughter on September 1. Li, who announced she was pregnant two months after retiring in 2014, said she wouldn’t have been able to leave her own young daughter, adding that she had probably only hit a tennis ball 10 times since quitting the sport and becoming a mother. “Serena can fix everything,” Li said, referring to the challenge of being a tennis-playing parent. “But if I think about myself, I couldn’t do that. With a baby so young, I couldn’t leave them.” Asked if she missed tennis, the two-time Grand Slam-winner told reporters at the Wuhan Open that she hankered after the “fight and competition” but that she had left that sid...

Restructuring: Kano, Katsina Kick Against Devolution Of Power -.

Kano and Katsina states have kicked against devolution of central government power, saying the federal government should rather be strengthening financially to ensure effective service delivery. Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state and his counterpart of Katsina state, Aminu Bello Masari made the stands of the two states known while addressing a mammoth crowd at the zonal public hearing on true federalism organised by the All Progressive Congress (APC), held in Kano yesterday. Governor Ganduje of Kano state, who personally submitted the Kano’s memorandum, opined that the ongoing clamor for the agitation of true federalism should not be constituted in such a way to weaken the federal government. Ganduje said, “Federal government should rather be funded with adequate resources to bring development and ensure even spread and balance economy that will make Nigeria a strong country. We must not support anything that will encourage disaffection and disintegration in Nigeria.” Katsin...

Higuain lifts Juventus to win over Olympiakos.

Gonzalo Higuain got Juventus’s Champions League campaign off the mark coming on as a substitute to lift last year’s finalists to a 2-0 Group D win over Olympiakos on Wednesday. Massimiliano Allegri’s side needed to reignite their European campaign after falling 3-0 to Barcelona in Spain two weeks ago. And Higuain hit back after being dropped by Allegri by opening the scoring after 69 minutes and having a hand in Mario Mandzukic’s second on 80 minutes at the Allianz Arena. Juventus are now third in Group D which is led by unbeaten Barcelona but behind Sporting Lisbon — who lost 1-0 at home to the Spanish side — on goal difference. For Olympiakos a second defeat after their opener to Sporting leaves them rock bottom. “I made a choice and Higuain wasn’t as good as the others,” said Allegri of his decision to leave the Argentine on the bench for a second straight game after last weekend’s Turin derby. “But we saw this evening that he already moved differently. He has never ...

Three killed in Boko Haram raid in Borno.

Boko Haram killed three people and set fire to scores of homes in a raid targeting vulnerable rural communities in northeast Nigeria, a local official said on Thursday. Modu Ganamani, information officer for the Guzamala local government area in northern Borno state, said the attack happened at about 3:00 pm (1400 GMT) on Wednesday. “Boko Haram insurgents came in large numbers in trucks and on motorcycles and attacked Goram and two neighbouring villages, Lingis and Ajidari,” he told AFP by telephone. “They killed three people and burned around 150 homes. They looted foodstores and set them on fire.” It was not immediately clear which faction of Boko Haram was responsible for the attack. Hit-and-run raids were often used by fighters loyal to Abubakar Shekau when they began to take over swathes of territory in remote rural areas. The Islamic State group-backed faction of Abu Mus’ab al-Barnawi has vowed not to attack civilians but has also raided villages for food. Which...

Biafra: IPOB Members Decamping To Other Separatist Groups -

A group, under the umbrella of Federalist Movement of Nigeria has stated that members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) are decamping to other separatist groups since the court declared it a terrorist group. The group therefore called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to immediately bring the weight of the law to bear on criminal elements that were hiding under agitation against marginalization to breach the constitution and the extant laws of the land. FNM made this know via a statement signed by its convener, Emmanuel Ogah and obtained by DAILY POST on Wednesday. The group said that the call became imperative following reports that many members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have started migrating to other separatist groups that are becoming virulent and could soon continue acts of aggression from where IPOB stopped before the court ordered that it is a terror group. Ogah said, the Biafra Zionists Federation (BZF) led by one Benjamin Igwe Onwuka, having been swe...

Strengthening the national bond amid agitations..

Beyond display of maximum force that seems to have characterized the invasion of the South East by the military, there exist several other approaches to douse the growing waves of agitations in the country. Chairman of the Foundation for Ethnic Harmony in Nigeria (FEHN), Allen Onyema and his Emory University partners on non-violence education and peace around the world, Bernard LaFayette and Charles Alphin, are not only convinced that Nigeria would fair better in an atmosphere of peace and unity, they also appear to have understood dialogue as a potent tool to foster peace in a multiethnic setting like Nigeria. To that extent, FEHN brought together representatives of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Arewa Youths Congress (AYC), O’dua Peoples Congress (OPC) and Niger Delta youths in a five-day training to douse tension in the country and foster a stronger, indivisible country. Onyema had said in his opening speech that tension was already high in the country. He wa...
