Roger Federer beats Marin Cilic to win record eighth Wimbledon title

Image
ALREADY a legend, Roger Federer has elevated even higher into the grand slam stratosphere with an eighth Wimbledon triumph and 19th major success. Defying age and a wounded Marin Cilic, the 35-year-old snared another large chunk of history with a runaway 6-3 6-1 6-4 victory at the sport’s spiritual home. Hampered by a blister on his left foot, Cilic struggled to reproduce the sparkling form which had carried him to a maiden All England Club final, dissolving in tears as his hopes slipped away. The US Open winner slipped over in the fifth game and, rattled, lost seven of the next eight games — and he failed to threaten thereafter. His pile-driving serve deserted him and unforced errors flowed in shattering disappointment. As usual, Federer showed no mercy as he ended a five-year title drought at Wimbledon, adding to his 2003-07, 2009 and 2012 crowns. With 22 winners and a mere eight unforced errors, Federer was classes above his hobbled opponent. One of the sport...

Visa holders Mogaka you can keep your Nyamira Express bus ticket we are flying to Lagos. Kenyan women naturally love visa holders. In fact they love anybody who was born beyond Eastern Africa.

The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh, has said Nigeria is set to supply 130,000 tonnes of roasted cashew nuts to the Walmart Super Market chain in the United States of America. He said the 130,000 cashew is valued at $7 billion. Chief Ogbeh said the US firm came to Nigeria to request for 130,000 tonnes of roasted cashew nuts and their demand is 130,000 tonnes of cashew nuts per annum, with a total value of $7 billion. “We are in conversations with Walmart, the biggest supermarket chain in the US. They came here and asked us to roast cashew nuts for them. “What Nigeria currently does is ship the nuts to Vietnam, which in turn roasts and sell to the US. This year, we are going to create six cashew processing factories in Nigeria, each to be cited in Enugu, Imo, Benue, Kogi, Kwara and Oyo states. These are the cashew belts for now.

Image
Minister of Information and Culture, Lia Mohammed, has shed more light on plans by the Federal government to stop entertainers and movie makers from shooting their jobs outside the shores of Nigeria. Last Saturday, Lai Mohammed disclosed this plan when he spoke at the  Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) House in Lagos. In a recent chat with Premiumtimes, Lai Mohammed said the proposed ban would help tackle the exploitation of perceived loopholes in the Nigerian Broadcasting Code, NBC. “The NBC code today as it stands has been exploited and not defined and that’s why movies being directed by Nigerians with Nigerian actors, actresses can be shot in South Africa and then brought back to be consumed in Nigeria. All we are saying is that we are going to amend the code in a manner that it will not be possible for you to exploit any loophole there to go and shoot outside Nigeria film, music or programs that are meant to be consumed in Nigeria".

Bride-to-be shot dead by police after she called 911 to report hearing noise outside her house

Image
A woman was shot dead by a US police officer after she called 911 to report hearing noise outside her house. Justine Damond, 40, an Australian woman due to get married next month, thought the noise might be a possible assault taking place outside her home, so she decided to get the police involved. When police arrived outside the home she shared with her fiance, Don Damond, at 5100 block of Washburn Avenue South, in Minneapolis' upscale Fulton neighbourhood, it was claimed that she went outside in her pyjamas and got shot through the door of a squad car by an officer seated inside the vehicle. She had been talking to an officer in the driver's seat of the police car when the officer in the passenger seat pulled out his gun and shot her through the driver's side door at about 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, sources said.

Kidnapping, Badoo Killings And The Rising Level Of Insecurity In Lagos. A Must Read...

Image
Lagos CP Fatai Owoseni By New Independence Group Close to 60 days after the now sadly famous six schoolboys of Igbo Nla in Epe were abducted while studying, anxiety continues to mount over their safety, as fears are now being expressed over the possibility of unpalatable reality that the kidnappers, having been paid substantially, are unable to return them as a result of the unthinkable. At the New Independence Group( NIG), we earnestly pray and hope for the safe return of the kids, in the hope that they are not already traumatized beyond what they could bear. It is very worrisome that children are being routinely grabbed even from the allegedly fortified walls of schools by criminals, as a means of extorting parents, rightly or wrongly, regarded as well off. It is terrifying for parents to worry daily about their kids returning safely from school, bearing in mind the possibility of a strange, heartrending call about their abduction. It is doubtful too, that the remaining stud...
