Illustration In Kaduna, Habiba, a young lady on the streets of Barnawa holding a baby and a stick of weed shares her story: “I did not decide to be an addict, my family were a trouble to me, I was treated ill from others, I didn’t feel loved by my parents so I started to find solace in my friends and neighbours who introduced me to a cigarette-like stick. I was 16 years old; I did not like it at first but it gave me a good feeling; I was always smiling and my worries became less. I wanted to stop, I tried to stop but each time I went a day without codeine cough syrup or weed I became sad and depressed and I felt like the world was going to end. So I continued; stopping will be very hard for me. Sometimes I feel sick but I can’t stop.” When asked if she was scared of her baby learning her smoking habits, Habiba said: “I will not want her to learn, it is very bad but if it’s God’s will then let it be done. I want my child to be a doctor to help people like me." In Kano, Rasheedah, a

Atiku and Nwodo Uche Okwukwu, Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, says the endorsement of Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by John Nwodo, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo President, is “betrayal of trust reposed on him” by Igbo leaders. He said this in an interview with The Sun, stating that the adoption and endorsement of Atiku did not follow due process. Okwukwu noted that as the Secretary-General of the body, he did not sight any communiqué, nor did he sign anything to that effect, it as it should be done. “It is a procedural error. I must say as the Secretary-General, that I sign the communiqué with the President General, that one never took place; I never saw any communiqué. In fact, no communiqué was drafted. And that’s why I said that the purported endorsement of Atiku is invalid," he said. He also described the Imeobi meeting where Atiku was endorsed, as fake and unconstitutional because key leaders were absent. “Imagine an Imeobi that wa

Justice Danladi Umar Justice Danladi Umar StellaNaija Walter Onnoghen, suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, will challenge the competence of Danladi Umar, Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, for heading the trial against him, as Umar is also facing charges of corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). According to The Punch newspaper, the case will be based on the charges by EFCC, in which Year was accused of receiving a bribe of N10million in 2012. A source that spoke to the newspaper said: “The CCT chairman has been acting in a way that suggests that we may not get a fair hearing. He is facing charges by the EFCC, which means his character and his ability to deliver justice is in question. “It is very possible that he is even being blackmailed by those who want Onnoghen gone. So, what we want is for him to step aside. We will make that application on Monday, all things being equal.” According to the claim, Umar was allegedly accused of receiving N10milli

Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, has reportedly notified Maurizio Sarri his future is in jeopardy and is ready to rival Manchester United for the services of Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino, according to the UK Express. The Blues returned to winning ways with a 5-0 win over Huddersfield on Saturday, following their 4-0 humiliation at Bournemouth. However, Abramovich is already losing patience with Sarri, whose side are locked in a three-way battle with Arsenal and United, for the final Champions League qualifying spot. Chelsea were reported to be interested in Pochettino last summer, before appointing Sarri to succeed Antonio Conte. Sarri made an instant impact at Stamford Bridge, but results and performances have dipped, since he suffered the first defeat of his reign against Pochettino’s Spurs side back in November. It would cost Abramovich around £50million in compensation, to prise the Argentine from North London and the former Southampton manager’s preference remains United.

Barcelona talisman, Lionel Messi, is a doubt for Wednesday’s Copa del Rey’s semi-final against Real Madrid, after sustaining a thigh injury in the 2-2 draw with Valencia on Saturday. Messi scored twice, as the hosts came from 2-0 down to earn a point and extend their lead at the top of LaLiga to six points. It took his tally to 11 in the last nine matches in all competitions. However, it was not without cost as he needed treatment for what appeared to be a dead leg shortly after equalising. Manager Ernesto Valverde does not know if he will recover in time for the fixture. “(Messi) has a small problem. I can’t say exactly what problem he has, I don’t know,’ he told a press conference after the match. “We will have to wait to see what medical staff say. If he’s in good shape, he’ll play on Wednesday. We will wait. I imagine it’s nothing, but we’ll wait a few hours. Leo didn’t ask me to sub him off,” Valverde told reporters after the game. .

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has responded to criticisms of running away during the 2017 military invasion of his home in Afara Ibeku, Umuahia, Abia State by the Nigerian army and the allegation of abandoning his followers in the country. It could be recalled that Kanu left the country after the army invaded his home on September 14th, 2017, during the military exercise code-named; “Operation Python Dance II”. Following the development, Kanu later resurfaced a few months ago in Israel which stirred controversies as some Nigerians opined that since Kanu is the leader of IPOB, he should have faced the army rather than running away. Kanu, reacting during his live radio broadcast from London on Saturday said he ran away because he did not have any weapon to face armed military men who stormed his house.

Manchester United interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, is confident the team is more than capable of finishing in the top four this season. Solskjaer took over from Jose Mourinho in December and since his arrival, the Red Devils have won eight of the nine games. United now sit in sixth position and are five points behind Chelsea in fourth, but they do have a game in hand on the Blues. With 14 games left, Solskjaer is confident his team can get the job done. United’s next game is against Leicester on Sunday in the Premier League. “I feel it’s very [well] equipped. We’ve had now six weeks together. We’ve found out what strengths, weaknesses we’ve got. “I think we’ve risen to most of the challenges, maybe of course the setback of the two Burnley goals we conceded. “Maybe they will make us move to the next level because I think we’ve given ourselves a chance now to get into the top four maybe earlier than we thought. “It’s not too many games, there’s still a week between every single one

Arsenal striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, has hinted to Unai Emery that he wants to play alongside Alexandre Lacazette in Arsenal’s attack. Emery has struggled at times to find a tactical system that accomodates both Aubameyang and Lacazette. Earlier on in the season, he rotated between the two up front or played one of them on the wing using a 4-2-3-1 formation. Although Aubameyang has established himself as Arsenal’s first-choice striker under Emery, Lacazette has had a good run in the side of late, starting five of the club’s last six games in all competitions with Emery alternating between a 3-5-2 and 4-3-1-2. Despite insisting his favoured position is up front, though, Aubameyang insisted he will play out wide if Emery asks him to. Speaking to Sky Sports, Aubameyang said: “My favourite role is playing striker, in front. I also like playing on the wing, but I think my best position is striker. “I like to play with two up front, it’s nice because you can do some combinations with
