Tottenham fans stands in solidarity with Arsenal forward

Tottenham fans stand in solidarity with Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka on his first return to action since Euro 2020.
Tottenham fans put north London allegiances to one side in a stand of solidarity with Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka as he returned to domestic football for the first time since Euro 2020.
Saka was subjected to racist abuse on social media after he missed the crucial final penalty in England's shootout defeat to Italy in the European Championship final at Wembley on July 11.
The nation rallied around Saka in the aftermath and, on his first assignment with Arsenal - a pre-season friendly at Tottenham - since the Euro 2020 final, supporters of his club's fiercest rivals showed their support.
A banner erected at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium read: "North London stands with Bukayo Saka and all players against racism and discrimination."
Saka replaced Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as a 63rd-minute substitute and received a heartfelt round of applause from the Spurs faithful.
Saka, who returned from an extended break after Euro 2020, responded in kind to the Tottenham fans by applauding them.
Spurs won the pre-season friendly 1-0 after a late goal by Heung-Min Son, although 19-year-old Saka did have a chance to snatch a draw five minutes from time, only to be denied by new Spurs goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini.

She said "The state Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-olu dropped the idea of imposing a curfew in the state meant to allow the fumigation exercise of public space." Relying on expert advice the Governor said the disinfectant is non toxic, noting that the exercise has commenced. He said: I'm pleased to note that we have taken possession of over 200 disinfecting machines, and starting today, we will be disinfecting all major highways, bus stops, markets, parks and other public areas."

Nigeria Celebrates 58th Independence Anniversary; Nigeria Still Under Servitude.

Image
By YUSUFF Oladeji Afeez (SIR-USEFUL) Before I attempt to analyse the theme/topic of this piece, the questions we should pose in our minds are : What is Independence? Has Nigeria gotten Independence? If truly Nigeria has gotten Independence, Why is she still in servitude? According to Merriam Webster Dictionary,  Independence is "the freedom from outside control or support". Independence is also seen as the time when a country or region gains political freedom from outside control. In the process of providing a definition to the word, "Independence", I noticed a  keyword, present,  in the definitions of Independence, supplied earlier in this piece,  which is "FREEDOM". And according to me, "Freedom is knowing the right thing, and doing the right thing,  which is the only way to  liberate one's self (someone)  from slavery." Since,  We,  Nigerians have deviated from the right things, and doing what is right, we have put ourselves under/in servi...
