The Catalan neighbours are set to lock horns at the RCDE Stadium with Barca chasing down another La Liga title. A 3-2 victory in a Clasico clash with Real Madrid has helped to keep them in contention, with two old foes locked together on 78 points – albeit with the Blancos holding a game in hand. Messi put in another talismanic display to seal a crucial victory for Barca at Santiago Bernabeu, with his stoppage-time winner followed by a celebration which saw a man who had just reached 500 club goals present the name on his shirt to the locals in the Spanish capital. Espanyol will be hoping to avoid seeing a repeat in their latest outing, but have been quick to point out that wha

What goes into styling Beyoncé for the Met Gala? Apparently, it can all take less than 24 hours. The pregnant singer will probably be a no-show this year, but as the first Monday in May rapidly approaches, we'd be remiss not to acknowledge the most epic moments from the biggest night in fashion's past.  Bey, of course, owns many of them—remember her pale-pink latex ensemble from 2016? Then there was that high ponytail and naked dress combo for the China: Through the Looking Glass theme.  Year after year, she impresses (in mostly Givenchy). And year after year, you'll see stylist Ty Hunter trailing behind her, fluffing and fixing her train on the famously steep, red steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Although Ty doesn't have any plans to attend the star-studded extravaganza this year, one can neve

Tanzanian President John Magufuli on Friday fired 9,932 civil servants who were found using fake educational certificates to work. Magufuli made the announcement on state television after receiving a report on public servants' certificates verification. He said salaries of 9,000 plus employees for this month should be withheld after an investigative task force found that 9,932 government workers presented fake qualifications when they were employed. The president immediately ordered that the dismissed civil servants would have to defend themselves in court, 'so that they could be jailed for seven years as the law says.' 'They are thieves like any other thieves. You cannot perform if you don’t have deserving qualifications,' Magufuli said. In a previous report, the Minister of State, Ms. Angela Kairuki, revealed that a total of 435,000 had their certificates verified, which eventually led to forged certificate burst.

He promised to ensure the NIWA was fully empowered to continue to carry the regular maintenance dredging with bigger and more standard dredger to make  “This is the best form of administration you can get being ingenious because we don’t have money to pay any contractor. I asked if they have the capacity to do the dredging why did we have to commit over N40 billion and we pay N34 billion. You can imagine if we mobilize N10 billion for NIWA to do it with its staff and they save the country N24 billion.  “That amount can build the road from Abaji to Lokoja. That has to do with the management of resources so I must commend the management of NIWA,” he said. Amaechi who promised to buy a bigger dredger said if he remained

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday failed to participate in the usual Friday Juma’at prayer session in the State House Mosque located in the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The prayer session was attended by Governors Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano), Abdullaziz Yari (Zamfara) and Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun). In a related development, Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, yesterday asked the President to reveal his health status to Nigerians.

The President had also not attended the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting usually held on Wednesdays

As the 2017 Billboard Latin Music Awards red carpet unfolds, stars are taking their cleavage to a whole new length. The plunging neckline has been around for ages, but Thursday's red carpet makes it clear that it has evolved. It's longer, making its way close the belly button. The dramatic cut reveals the middle section of the bust, from the top to the bottom—very, very sexy. Unlike your typical V-cut blouse, you can't get away with a push-up bra or any bra at all. This style requires a beautiful bust without any support (besides a little fashion tape).   Take a look at Eva Longoria . The recent  Empire guest star appeared on the red carpet in a white suit. At 42, she clearly proves that the plunging neckline is for any age. Although she's sporting a low-hanging garment, she maintains her sophistication by keeping her breasts tucked into a jacket.

Jennifer Lopez is adding style stunner to her long list of accomplishments. From a starring role in the television series Shades of Blue  to her recent residency in Las Vegas, J. Lo does it all. We weren't surprised when she appeared at the 2017 Billboard Latin Music Awards  in a stunning black cutout gown with sequined detailing from Julien Macdonald's AW '17 collection . At first glance the outfit may seem a bit intimidating in its sultry approach. Whether it's the cutouts, high split or plunging neckline , this style is not for the faint of heart. If you're up to the challenge, we've broke down J. Lo's style into a number of items that you can easily work into your wardrobe.

Jennifer Lopez  may or may not have just stolen the show!

J.Lo wore silver sequin gown complete with cut-outs and a front thigh-high slit as she belted the beautiful ballad next to the orchestra surrounding her.      The song, which  Marc Anthony produced, is a slow, powerful ballad and Anthony himself was seen in the crowd watching his ex with pride as she sang her heart out. Shortly after her performance, J.Lo took the stage to accept her Telemundo Star Award. The crowd went wild while she thanked the audience, her family an

Members of the House of Representatives have flayed the comment by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, that the appointment of Ibrahim Magu as helmsman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) did not require the approval of the Senate. The lawmakers said the comment was not only unfortunate but also made in clear disregard of the doctrine of the separation of powers as enshrined in the constitution. The House in adopting a motion on the need to prevent the erosion of the doctrine of the separation of powers in the nation’s democratic practice, sponsored Minority Leader, Leo Ogor, called on the Executive to adhere to the country’s laws by approaching the courts for judicial interpretation if it disagreed with any law, rather than make utterances that point to a negation of the doctrine contained in Sections  4(2), 5 and 6 of the 1999 Constitution as amended. The House also called on the Executive to approach the court for interpretation of any conflict in the

Citing negligent execution of petroleum production contracts by multinationals operating in Nigeria, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Rivers states have filed a suit at the Supreme Court against the Federal Government to challenge the loss of N500 trillion in oil revenue. The plaintiffs are praying the apex court to compel the Federal Government to implement Section 162 of the 1999 Constitution as it relates to oil revenue generation and sharing among the component parts of the federation. In the originating summons by Luscious Nwosu, SAN on behalf of the three states, the Supreme Court is being urged to determine whether there was a statutory obligation imposed on the defendant pursuant to Section 16 of the Deep Offshore and Inland Basin Production Sharing Contracts Act Cap D3 of the Laws of the Federation 2004.

A video clip apparently showing the traditional ruler of Lagos snubbing the spiritual leader of the Yoruba people has caused controversy in Nigeria. In the footage, the 73-year-old Oba (king) of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, appears to rebuff the greetings of the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, at a public event in the city Tuesday. The ooni, 42, then went quietly to his seat without incident but what appeared to be the oba’s dismissive attitude sparked protests online — and speculation as to what was behind it.  The Ooni of Ife is the most powerful and influential monarch among the Yoruba people of southwest Nigeria, who are the country’s second biggest ethnic group after the Hausa-Fulani. Historically, the ooni or any king in Yorubaland was revered and considered “the sovereign, second in rank to the gods”. “We want to assume that Oba Akinolu did not realise it was the ooni that greeted him,” Yinka Odumakin, of the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group Afenifere, told
