BAD NEWS FOR MORATA? HOW CHELSEA COULD LINE UP WITH EDIN DZEKO.

The Blues are closing in on the former Manchester City striker, but how will he be used at Stamford Bridge by manager Antonio Conte? Chelsea are aiming to secure a joint deal with Roma for Edin Dzeko and Emerson Palmieri in the January transfer window, which could see the duo move for around £50 million. Dzeko's availability has been welcomed by most Chelsea fans after the club had previously enquired about West Ham's Andy Carroll, Stoke City's Peter Crouch and Burnley's Ashley Barnes among others. Roma will lose their top scorer from last season but need the money for Financial Fair Play reasons - and earning around £25 million for a 31-year-old striker is business that their sporting director Monchi seems happy with. Dzeko scored 43 times in 55 appearances for club and country last term in all competitions and he comes in to challenge the misfiring Alvaro Morata. His arrival will also free up a loan move for Michy Batshuayi, who is thought to want to l...

As #MeToo moves across the world, is Nigeria next?.

In October last year, multiple accusations of sexual assault and misconduct were leveled at Hollywood movie producer, Harvey Weinstein. The world was shocked by the scale of the allegations and the alleged intricate web of mechanisms used by the producer to protect himself and to keep his victims silent. In the aftermath, more people have stepped forward and dozens of powerful men across a number of industries have been accused of harassment, assault and misconduct. Condemnation of the accused has been swift; careers have ended and disgrace has been public. The allegations have also sparked a global conversation about consent and sexual conduct and the hashtag #MeToo becoming part of the mainstream. The phrase was initially coined by activist Tarana Burke ten years ago who launched the movement to support women who had survived sexual assault, years later the phrase has become an integral part of a push against misconduct. The wave of accusations coupled with the response has bee...

Organisation holds conference, presents mediation as an alternative to litigation.

Standing conference of mediation advocates (SCMA) in conjunction with Lagos practitioners and mediation advocates (FOTEFA Partners), presented mediation advocacy as an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) during a conference held at the high court, Lagos Island. Speaking during the conference themed, “Business and practice of mediation advocacy,” Honourable justice Atinuke Oluyemi revealed that mediation, is an alternative dispute resolution which should be readily embraced as an alternative to litigation. “Mediation should be embraced as a means of conflict resolution against running to court. Mediation is a win-win thing. Rather than going to court and prolonging issues for months and years, these issues can rather be sorted out in a roundtable, where issues are amicably sorted out in few hours or at most, few days. It saves times and most essentially reduces cost implications.” According to Yemi Akisanya, SCMA during his speech, he opined that mediators have no powe...

Former Ballon Ball Winner George Opong Weah makes first cabinet appointments.

New Liberian President George Weah has appointed the first members of his cabinet, all of them men, largely naming party allies but picking a foreign minister close to former president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Ex-international footballer Weah was sworn in on Monday at a stadium surrounded by ecstatic supporters, and filled some key ministerial posts later the same day. In his inaugural speech, Weah vowed to crack down on entrenched corruption and encourage the private sector. But the picks from his party come from outside the establishment and do not have significant government experience, potentially setting up a struggle with entrenched interests in the national congress. The lack of women so far in the cabinet may also raise eyebrows after 12 years under Sirleaf, who pushed for women to enter public life and strengthened protections against abuse and female genital mutilation as her final act in office. Weah’s right-hand man is the chairman of his Congress for...
