Ramos & Marcelo out of Madrid squad

By

Sergio Ramos and Marcelo have been left out of the Real Madrid squad for Wednesday's Champions League trip to Shakhtar Donetsk.

The club released a statement explaining that the Brazil full-back has an adductor muscle problem sustained in Saturday's 4-0 thrashing by Barcelona in El Clasico, but the situation surrounding Ramos is less clear.
The Spain defender dislocated his shoulder in the reverse fixture against Shakhtar last month and aggravated the joint again in the act of scoring in the 3-2 defeat at Sevilla on November 8.
He managed to start against Barca but looked hopelessly short of match sharpness as the likes of Luis Suarez, Neymar and Andres Iniesta repeatedly tore through the Madrid backline.
There have been suggestions in Spain that Ramos will not play again prior to the winter break in a bid to give the injury time to heal properly.
He will certainly miss the trip to Ukraine, although it could be a precautionary move with Rafael Benitez's men having already secured a place in the knockout stages.
Real Madrid squad in full:
Keylor Navas, Kiko Casilla, Ruben Yanez; Raphael Varane, Pepe, Nacho, Dani Carvajal, Danilo; Toni Kroos, James Rodriguez, Gareth Bale, Casemiro, Mateo Kovacic, Luka, Modric, Denis Cheryshev, Isco; Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Lucas Vazquez, Jese.

What African Leaders should not do to save their Economies after COVID-19

Originally published on Herald Newspaper.   “When men attain power, they go crooked.” This piece is coming from an author, I, and the introductory quote is quite dubious enough but the truth is perpetually bitter.

They should know that this is the dawn of a new era and certainly not the time to cast aspersions on who bears the onus or play politics on the suffering proletarians. Those residing in the hinterlands have successfully lost their sources of livelihood as almost every country has embarked on complete lockdown. The private sector, considered as elites, are even battling on how to pay their employees who are now on official vacation. The government as a whole cannot import their needs and have to dig into their reserves to try to keep every Tom, Dick, and Harr...

2017 Christmas Galore In Nigeria

By
Xmas is a time where people show love and share gifts. But in Nigeria, everyone wants to spend money and hang out. Especially the women. Around this time, the craze for Brazillian Hairs is paramount. Some of the hairs cost $2000 (N600,000) and they ask for it like it's nothing. Imagine how that cash can change a life! For the guys, they run away from the girls and call-off relationships. LOL. With what the recession has caused, am pretty sure the girls will have the upperhand this Xmas.
