Hakim Ziyech Scores on First Premier league Start as 3 Stars Chelsea Over Minnows

Hakim Ziyech scores on his first Premier League start with Kurt Zouma and Timo Werner also on target as Frank Lampard's men pile the misery on winless hosts. The strength of Chelsea’s squad was underlined when £53million forward Timo Werner was summoned from the bench minutes before kick off to cover for Christian Pulisic’s injury in the warm-up. Frank Lampard’s plan had been to give Werner a rest after the five-thousand round trip to Krasnodar in midweek. But the German gratefully seized the unexpected opportunity to play another 90 minutes and score the third goal in one of the easiest wins seen at Turf Moor. Werner was decent but not even one of the stand-out performers given Chelsea’s dominance as they climbed to fifth.

Monsignor Michael Nyitor Buter held at the Divine Providence Rectory, Bebe in Vandeikya Local Government of the state. "In attendance at the ev...

BENUE GUBER 2023: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? Making a case for Gwer People

By Samuel Allen Zenke Makurdi, Benue State. Where Do We Go From Here? is an open letter to the Tiv People on "Social Conditions and Administrative Re-organisations" written by Wantaregh Paul Iorpuur Unongo 51 years ago (1969). I have read this "open letter" over and over, infact, more than a dozen times. Every chapter has a solution to our present situation in Tivland. One of the major issues Wantaregh discussed in the open letter was the Tiv "autonomous divisions - intermediate areas". In the past, the Tiv People were divided into five "intermediate areas - Kwande (Kwande & Ushongo), Jechira (Vandeikya & Konshisha), Ukum-Shitile (Katsina Ala, Ukum & Logo) Jemgbar (Gboko, Buruku & Tarka) and Ichongo (Makurdi, Guma, Gwer East & Gwer West)" respectively. This arrangement created a lot of confusion, division, petty and clannish nationalism. According to Unongo, "these funny arbitrary creations, which were introd...
