The Christian Association of Nigeria releases 180 names of abducted Chibok schoolgirls- claimed majority of the girls are Christian

CAN, yesterday Sunday May 4th, released the names of 180 of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls.

According to a report by Vanguard, CAN is also asking for N50m damage as trauma compensation for the girls, plus overseas University on Government scholarship for each girl from the federal govt.

A statement signed by the Christian body gave reason for the attack on Chibok girls’ high school.

"Chibok is 90% Christians. Majority of the girls abducted are Christian! Why did Boko Haram visit Chibok Local Government? Why didn’t they visit so many other Local Government Girls Secondary Schools in Borno State?”

Pellegrini Mind Game: Title race not over

Manuel Pellegrini warned Manchester City the Premier League is not finished yet after they moved to the summit with victory over Everton.

A thrilling match finished 3-2 in City's favour, taking them ahead of Liverpool on goal difference ahead of the Reds' clash with Crystal Palace on Monday. Third-placed Chelsea, two points behind, play Norwich on Sunday and will also have the chance to move ahead.

Both teams will have played a game more than City but Pellegrini told Sky Sports 1: "The worst thing we must do is think that today we finished the Premier League.

"We have to play teams (Aston Villa and West Ham) who are not fighting for anything, they can play without pressure. We must try to win our last two games at home, then we will see what happens.''

Sergio Aguero's goal and two from Edin Dzeko settled the game at Goodison, with Everton having opened the scoring through Ross Barkley and later pulling one back through Romelu Lukaku.

Pellegrini said: "We won and at this moment the most important thing is to win. Today the pressure was maybe too high to play our best football. We played well until 3-2, maybe at that moment the team was a bit nervous.

"We started one goal down and we played good football to recover from that goal. We managed the game, we scored three and had chances.''

Aguero left the field with an injury but Pellegrini would not be drawn on the severity of the problem, saying simply: "We'll see tomorrow.''

Captain Vincent Kompany also urged caution ahead of the finale to the season.

"Ultimately it's two games at home but it doesn't mean anything,'' he said. "You saw the Sunderland game and how tough it was. Hopefully we'll just play like we can, we have a strong home record and we have goals from everywhere on the pitch.''

First Defeat as United Manager: 'Players were flat'- Giggs

Ryan Giggs admitted he was at a loss to explain why Manchester United produced such a "flat" performance as Sunderland won at Old Trafford for the first time since 1968.
United slumped to a first defeat of interim manager Giggs' spell in caretaker charge after Sebastian Larsson scored a 30th minute winner that took the Black Cats to the brink of securing safety.
Giggs, who had beaten Norwich 4-0 in his first game in charge, was bemused by United's poor display against Sunderland.
"I still believe there is quality in the dressing room," he said in a news conference. "We showed that last week but just didn't this. The players were flat and I don't know why."
"In the first half we got some decent crosses in, and just didn't get enough people in the box. In the second half we had all the possession and just couldn't find that key pass or bit of quality to get us back in the game. I am sure if we scored one we would have gone on to score more."
It was United's seventh home league defeat of the season, a fate they had not suffered since 1973-74, when they were relegated, and Giggs could not account for their struggles at Old Trafford.
"We have shown good form away from home but at Old Trafford it seems to have been a problem," he added. "In past seasons, there would be waves and waves of shots and saves and you could always sense a goal was coming but this season it doesn't seem to have happened."
Sunderland have taken 10 points from their last four games, including a draw away at Manchester City and wins at Chelsea and United and manager Gus Poyet hailed them for a "unique" achievement after he claimed they had needed a miracle.
"What we have done in the last four games is unique, incredible," he said. "A miracle was the word I used a few weeks ago and apparently every now and again it happens."
Given their goal difference, Sunderland, who still have home games against West Brom and Swansea, could be safe on Sunday, should Norwich lose to Chelsea.
"Now it will be a shame if we don't stay up," Poyet added. "It would be crazy to lose this opportunity."

Michael Jackson and Justin Timberlake's 'Love Never Felt So Good' Land Online

A new Michael Jackson song from his upcoming posthumous album "Xscape" has landed online. Titled "Love Never Felt So Good", the track came in two versions with one being sung entirely by the late King of Pop and one featuring guest vocals from Justin Timberlake.
The new song is a disco-themed catchy pop jam that Jackson co-wrote with Paul Anka in 1983. It features the singer crooning, "Baby, love never felt so good / and I'd die if it ever could / Not like you hold me, hold me."
Timberlake then joins the late superstar to give some modern touch to the song's duet version.
"Love Never Felt So Good" was debuted for the first time at the inaugural iHeartRadio Music Awards on Thursday, May 1 with the help from Usher.
"Xscape" is due out on May 13 via Epic Records. In addition to Timberlake, the record will see guest appearances from Mary J. Blige, Questlove and D'Angelo. Timbaland co-produced the album with Rodney Jerkins, Stargate, Jerome "Jroc" Harmon, and John McClain.

US embassy in Nigeria warns of possible terror attack on Sheraton Hotel in Lagos

 

The United States Embassy in Nigeria yesterday Friday May 2nd issued a warning to U.S citizens, asking them to avoid Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states, and also said 'groups associated with terrorism' are planning an attack on Sheraton Hotel in Lagos.

The warning was posted on their website here. Continue to read the full statement...

The Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to Nigeria and recommends that U.S. citizens avoid all travel to Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe states because of the May 14, 2013 state of emergency proclamation for those three states by the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. As of late April, groups associated with terrorism allegedly planned to
mount an unspecified attack against the Sheraton Hotel in Nigeria, near the city of Lagos. There was no further information regarding which of the two Sheraton Hotels in Lagos was the possible target, or if both of the Sheraton Hotels are possible targets. There is no further information regarding the timing or method of attack. U.S. citizens are cautioned to avoid these hotels at this time.

The security situation in the country remains fluid and unpredictable. The U.S. Department of State strongly urges U.S. citizens in Nigeria to keep personal safety and health in the forefront of your planning. We remind U.S. citizens to review your personal security plans; remain aware of your surroundings, including local events; and monitor local news stations for updates. Maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security.

The Department strongly advises U.S. citizens who travel to or reside in Nigeria to enroll in the State Department's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). U.S. citizens without internet access may enroll directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. STEP enrollment gives you the latest security updates, and makes it easier for the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate to contact you in an emergency

Paul Walker estate puts late actor's collection of about 30 autos up for sale

Collection sale: Paul Walker, shown in 2011 in Italy, was an avid car collector and his estate has put his autos up for sale

Paul Walker not only starred in the Fast & Furious street racing films but also was an avid car collector.

The late actor's collection of about 30 cars has been put up for sale in the wake of his death last November in a car accident.

Walker, 40, died on Thanksgiving weekend last year while riding in the passenger seat of a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT driven by his 38-year-old friend Roger Rodas.

Sales of vehicles in Walker's collection already have started but the actor's estate will not use Walker's name in connection with it, according to a report on Thursday by TMZ.

Sources said the actor's estate believed Paul would not want either his name or the circumstances of his

'Hazard must sacrifice more for Chelsea'- Mourinho

LONDON -- Jose Mourinho says Eden Hazard is "not mentally ready" to sacrifice himself for Chelsea, saying "the perfect team at the top level" cannot make mistakes like the Belgium international's error against Atletico Madrid.

The Portuguese coach also insisted that Hazard's perceived criticism of the side's counter-attacking style was a consequence of the player's defensive mistake, but that the newly crowned PFA Young Player of the Year's comments were taken out of context.

Mourinho stated that he expects the 23-year-old attacker to work harder defensively following the mistake which led to Diego Simeone's side beating the Blues 3-1 in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal on Wednesday.

"First of all, I listen to the interview," Mourinho told his pregame news conference on Friday. "The words are completely different than some media were bringing. The context is completely transformed.

"[The] media was reporting he was being critical, but there was nothing critical in what he said. It's the same

British Airways flight from Nigeria to London is forced to make an emergency landing in Majorca after woman gives birth at 36,000ft on a flat-bed seat in Club Class

A plane flying from Nigeria to London had to make an emergency landing on a Spanish island when a woman gave birth in business class.

Ujunwa Jennifer Eneh, who turned 31 today, went into labour at 36,000 feet while flying from her native Nigeria to London, despite only being 26 weeks pregnant.

The pilot of the British Airways flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Palme de Mallorce, in the Balearic Islands and the mother and baby, which has been called Michael, were rushed to the island's Son Espases hospital.

While Mrs Eneh will soon be discharged, Michael is being kept in the intensive care unit will likely remain in hospital until August, his original due date, so he can develop properly.

Mrs Eneh said: 'I don't have any other option than to stay here on the island. My baby needs me to just hang

Ryan Giggs weighing up his United options

Ryan Giggs has admitted his future is still up in the air as he weighs up whether to carry on playing, look to become a manager in his own right or accept a job on the Manchester United coaching staff.

United's interim manager is out of contract at Old Trafford in the summer and is weighing up whether to extend his 23-year playing career.

The 40-year-old, who is in caretaker charge for the rest of the season, is not in consideration to replace the sacked David Moyes as United manager, with Louis van Gaal the favourite to take over.

But there is a strong preference for some continuity in the backroom staff at Old Trafford and Giggs is expected to be offered a coaching post, with questions if Van Gaal would accept him as his assistant.

Giggs said nothing is decided, telling a news conference: "I have got to decide if I want to play or not so there is no point thinking if I want to be an assistant or if I want to be a manager somewhere else.

'Wolverine 3' could be my Last Performance as the Clawed Mutant- Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman is seemingly done with Wolverine after playing the clawed mutant for a decade. After previously hinting that his days as Wolverine were numbered, the Australian actor now says in a new interview with SFX that the next Wolverine solo film will be his last performance as the character.

"I don't know yet. We're talking it through. I still am very ambitious for the character. And tonally I feel like we corrected the ship with the last one. But I feel we can still go further, in a way. If I did another one I'm 99.9% sure it would be the last, so that will inform what it is for me," he says.

Oprah Winfrey in Discussions to Buy Donald Sterling's LA Clippers

Oprah Winfrey is one of potential buyers of Los Angeles Clippers after the owner, Donald Sterling, came under fire for making racist comments against black people. The OWN founder joins billionaires David Geffen and Larry Ellison to make a bid for the NBA team if the league votes to force Sterling to sell it.

"Oprah Winfrey is in discussions with David Geffen and Larry Ellison to make a bid for the Los Angeles Clippers should the team become available," her spokesperson Nicole Nichols confirms in a statement.

The former daytime talk show host is one of the stars vocally slamming Sterling over his rant in which he banned his mistress from hanging out with minorities. She said on "CBS This Morning" that the offensive remarks reminded her of "a plantation mentality in the 21st century, in 2014. It just doesn't fit."

Eden Hazard criticises Mourinho's tactics

Eden Hazard became the latest critic of Jose Mourinho's tactical methods after Chelsea exited the Champions League on Wednesday night, saying "Chelsea is not made to play football."

The Blues were criticised for defensive tactics employed in the semifinal first leg at Atletico Madrid and in the Premier League win at Liverpool before tumbling out of Europe following a 3-1 home loss.

And Hazard, who managed three shots and led the Blues with two on target on Wednesday, expressed his dissatisfaction after the second leg.

"I don't know what we lacked," Hazard told beIN Sports' French station. "After scoring, we had the game in our hands. Maybe they wanted it more than we did. It was an intense game, beautiful to watch with opportunities. I'm sad but logic has been respected because [Atletico] deserved to qualify.

"Chelsea is not made to play football. We're good on the counter, a little bit like Real against Bayern."

Hazard was beaten twice by Atletico right-back Juanfran on plays that led to two goals, but the Belgian

Its Now Two Weeks Since the Disappearance of 234 Missing Nigerian Girls

The news: It's now been two weeks since 234 girls from a Nigerian boarding school were kidnapped by armed terrorists. With every passing minute, it's getting harder and harder for the Nigerian military to find these girls and bring them back home.

On April 16 hundreds of schoolgirls between 16 and 18 years old disappeared from the town of Chibok, Nigeria. At the time, it was believed that the terrorist group Boko Haram drove the girls into Sambisa Forest, a known criminal stronghold. But new reports indicate that the missing girls may have been transported further out than expected, even outside the country.

"Some of them have been taken across Lake Chad and some have been ferried across the border into parts of Cameroon," said Pogo Bitrus, a Chibok community leader. Locals in the area reported that many of the

Jose Mourinho full of praise for Atletico Madrid

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was magnanimous in defeat after his side lost their Champions League semifinal following a 3-1 defeat against Atletico Madrid at Stamford Bridge.

Mourinho is rarely complimentary of his opponents after a defeat of this magnitude, but the Portuguese showed real humility as he offered warm compliments to Diego Simeone and his Atletico team as they sealed a meeting with local rivals Real Madrid in next month’s Lisbon final.

“Congratulations to them,” declared Mourinho, in an interview with Sky Sports. “They are a very good side and what they are doing also in the Spanish league is fantastic. I hope it’s a good final.

"If both teams are there it is because they deserve to be there. Sometimes in the Champions League we see things that happen and you ask why, but it looks for me that this season it is normal. Real beat Bayern deservedly, Atletico deserve to win here too. I hope they enjoy it and I hope it’s a good game.”

Romelu Lukaku accepts Chelsea will decide his future

The on-loan Everton hitman is relaxed about his prospects beyond the end of the current Premier League season, in which he has hit 13 goals in 29 appearances on loan at Goodison Park.

Lukaku will turn 21 next month and is then set to spearhead Belgium's World Cup 2014 challenge, which begins with Group H contests against Algeria, Russia and South Korea.

Good performances in Brazil are sure to increase transfer speculation, but for now the 6ft 3ins frontman is concentrating on Everton's final league fixtures, at home to Manchester City on Saturday evening and at Hull City a week on Sunday.

When asked about his future, Lukaku told Het Nieuwsblad: "We'll see at the end of the season. I'm focusing
