http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Qualifying for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon began this weekend with a 10-goal rush as Libya scored five and Madagascar three when winning. Libya trounced the Seychelles 5-1 in a Group E match moved from Tripoli to Egyptian capital Cairo for security reasons. Madagascar stretched a perfect run to six matches since French coach Nicolas Dupuis took charge this year by winning a Group A clash with Sudan 3-1 in Al Obeid. Neither Libya nor Madagascar are considered likely qualifiers for the next edition of the biennial 16-nation African football showcase. The Libyans, prevented from playing at home because of post Moamer Kadhafi-era violence, are in the same mini-league as higher-ranked Nigeria and South Africa. For Madagascar to make a first Cup of Nations finals appearance, they will have to finish above star-stacked Senegal or be one of the best three runners-up. France-based captain Faneva Andriatsima netted twice and Carolus Andriamahitsinoro on...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J The Court of Appeal sitting in Benin City to hear Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and People’s Democratic Party (PDP’s) Appeal against the Election Petition Tribunal Judgement on the September 26 election passed judgement on Friday, upholding the declaration of Governor Godwin Obaseki of All Progressives Congress (APC) as Governor of Edo. Counsels to both parties had argued their briefs on May 30 this year, where Obaseki’s counsel, led by Wole Olanipekun, SAN, urged the court to dismiss the Appeal, saying that the grounds of the appeal were watery. Striking out the appeal, the court, led by Hon.

It would be recalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared the Al...

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has warned men to desist from poor treatment of women and urged husbands to take adequate care of their wives. Fayose, who described women as the mirrors through which the society sees their husbands, said any man found beating up his wife, should be medically examined to ascertain the state of his mental health. He stated this in Ado-Ekiti during an interactive session with primary school teachers and local government workers.

Fayose, who celebrated women in the state‎ in an unprecedented manner last March during the International Women’s Day, said women were a speci...
