  Mallorca fan sentenced to prison after racist abuse of Vinicius, Chukwueze A Mallorca fan who racially abused Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior and former Villarreal player Samuel Chukwueze was sentenced to a year in prison and issued a three-year stadium ban on Thursday. The supporter was “found guilty of two crimes against moral integrity, aggravated by the fact that he acted with racist motives”, Real Madrid said in a statement. The abuse of Vinicius occurred during Madrid’s 1-0 La Liga defeat to Mallorca at their Son Moix stadium in February 2023, before the fan insulted Chukwueze, now at AC Milan, a fortnight later. Madrid said the fan’s prison sentence was suspended “after the defendant apologised and showed his remorse, with a letter addressed to Vinicius, having completed an equality and anti-discrimination program.”

But at the Inter-Ministerial Press Briefing in Abuja, Mamman has defended the policy which he said will pay the country in the long run. “Our laws, the Universal Basic Education Act and the Minimum Standards Policy Act established in 1993 prescribed specific age limits and provisions for every level of education: six years in primary school, three years in junior secondary school, three years in senior secondary scho...

YAHAYA BELLO MUST HAVE HIS DAY IN COURT.(PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE

 Yahaya Bello Must Have his Day in Court   It is public knowledge that a former governor of Kogi State, Mr. Yahaya Bello had made several unsuccessful attempts to throw spanners in his ongoing trial through some irresponsible and utterly rascally efforts. The appropriate place of surrender would be before Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Abuja, before whom his legal team had undertaken to produce him to answer to the 18-count charges of money laundering preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.     Yahaya Bello should be more interested in clearing his name than playing the victim and crying persecution, where none exists. To even insinuate that he was the target of a phantom assassination attempt because the EFCC made efforts to effect his arrest at the Kogi State Governor’s Lodge where he had been hiding, is preposterous. It is the first time in the Commission’s more than two decades existence that such a j...

 Separate social media from real life – Mary Njoku Actress Mary Njoku has advised social media users, lamenting the shift from confrontational conversations to keyboard warfare. On Instagram, Mary expressed nostalgia for the days when people addressed issues in person. She criticised the current trend of seeking sympathy and fleeting fame online rather than tackling problems in the real world. “I miss the days when if someone messed up, you’d confront them in person and have a team conversation. Now, we’ve become keyboard warriors, seeking public sympathy and temporary fame on SM instead of facing issues head-on. “That’s why nothing changes! That ‘Lecturer’ might still not be fired! Real life is REAL and no one truly cares about your struggles. While on SM, start solving your problems in the real world. “Wake up. Wake up! Social media isn’t REAL. Stop living in it. REAL is REAL,” she wrote.
