Ronaldo Scores FOUR Goals To Lead Al-nassr To An Emphatic Victory Over Al-wehda

 The greatest footballer of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo produced a remarkable display of finishing as he netted four times to lead Al-Nassr to a 4-0 win against Al-Wehda on Thursday.

After scoring a last-minute penalty to rescue a point for his new club last week, Ronaldo did not leave it so late this time, opening his account for the evening with a left-footed strike into the bottom corner midway through the first half. 

He doubled his tally shortly before half time, calmly slotting the ball past the onrushing goalkeeper.

A header would have given him the perfect hat-trick, but he had to settle for a penalty instead, rifling his spot-kick into the bottom corner to complete his hat-trick in the 53rd minute. 

He even had time to add a fourth, latching onto a through ball and tucking home the rebound after his initial effort was kept out.

New Naira: We Didn’t Anticipate Challenges, CBN Admits

 The Central Bank of Nigeria, on Thursday, admitted that the ongoing scarcity associated with the naira redesign and cash withdrawal policy was not anticipated.

This came amid numerous protests and attacks on banks by angry Nigerians due to the inability to access cash for their regular transactions.

A Deputy Governor of the bank, Folashodun Shonubi, made the admission at the 22nd fellowship conferment lecture and ceremony organised by the Nigerian Society of Engineers in Abuja.

The lecture was titled, “The intricacies of the naira redesign and its benefit to Nigerians”.

He explained that contrary to public opinion, the redesign plan which has been in the works for two years was not to punish anyone but to improve the economy.

The deputy governor who stated that challenges faced were caused by a new line of business created by indigenous Nigerians, revealed that numerous benefits have been achieved which include retrieval of N2 trillion to the banking system.

He said, “As you know, Nigerians are very ingenious. And we created a whole new line of business for people that we never envisaged.

“An aspect of that is queuing, where you sell your position on the queue for money. Night crawling, where you wait till night, collect numerous cards from your friends and family and go to an ATM and empty them using different cards and then take the cash to sell.

“So it’s been a bit stressful to be honest because we did not anticipate this kind of behaviour.”

Shonubi, however, noted the necessary challenges will soon be of the past adding that the apex bank will do everything within its powers to salvage the current situation.

“I believe that sooner rather than later, the stress ongoing in relation to money would reduce,” he concluded.

I Was Never A Cameraman, Jandor Replies Fashola

 I did that job for 8 years and part of what helped me was that I was chief of staff to a governor. I saw it up close. But even then, that wasn't enough. 

So just following a governor, being a cameraman and then watching me for 8 years, you think you'll now be a governor? You are not ready! Come to our leadership school; you are not yet ready. 

And that's why you will see, their adverts, they are focusing on 51 billion that Lagos is generating, but they don't see the immigrant population that is coming in everyday. The bigger the prosperity, the bigger the problem. 

So their party sees only money, they don't see people, they don't see responsibilities. 

Do you want them to come and touch that money?
