Written by Tee Blessing At around 5:57pm today 31st of March, 2021, a gory accident occurred along the Mokuro-NTA road and has claimed the live one and has severely injured two others. The accident happened when two bikes collided with each other and fell down. Unfortunately, there was an oncoming tipper who spotted the minor accident later than expected and stepped on the victims, further aggravating the accident. The Mokuro-NTA axis has always been prone to accidents in past years. Just last year, more than 35 accidents occured on this road. Perhaps because the road is a valley between two uphills, however, the major cause of most of these accidents ranges from overspeeding to recklessness and the smallness of the road.

As at the time of reporting this news, there has been no medical aid to the victims who were severely inj...

MEMORIES So close yet so far Talks and laughter echoed all around Yet location appears vague Tried to connect to the clear but fainting whimpering Further into the wave of actions dived instead Feelings attached to every actions becomes my feeling Yet engulfed with an irresistible feeling of loneliness Overwhelmed with longing of reaching the unfathomable space Desperately tried to block it all out Sight and visions becomes more vivid instead A sight behold but can’t be reached Cautiously the sense of linking was welcomed With the best courage summoned Urge to reach it was killed As the nurturing spirit was raised MIRACLE OLUWATOMIWA (MIMI)

International banks took an early gamble to prepare for the worst and the possibility of a hard Brexit by strengthening their European operations, which allowed for a smooth transition when Britain l...

Alexandre Lacazette's 82nd-minute header completed a remarkable Arsenal comeback as West Ham surrendered a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 in a breathless encounter at the London Stadium. The Hammers raced into what seemed an unassailable advantage after Jesse Lingard's opener (15) was added to by Jarrod Bowen (17) and Tomas Soucek (32). But Lacazette played his part in beginning the sensational response by the Gunners when his shot deflected in off Soucek (38), before another own goal from Craig Dawson further reduced the deficit (61). West Ham were crestfallen when Lacazette met Nicolas Pepe's cross to secure a share of the spoils. This will feel like a defeat for David Moyes' side having been in such a commanding position, but his side remain in fifth place on 49 points, two adrift of Chelsea in the final Champions League place. The result moves Arsenal into ninth ahead of Aston Villa's game with Tottenham later on Super Sunday . West Ham had ...
