Image
Anthony Joshua KOs Alexander Povetkin in seven rounds to reaffirm status as world's leading heavyweight A nother heavyweight fight for the ages, and what a night at the national football stadium as  Anthony Joshua ­finished Alexander Povetkin in a dramatic seventh round  to retain his three world heavyweight titles. Twenty-two fights, 22 victories.  Afterwards Joshua identified his ideal next three fights. “In order, I’d like Deontay Wilder, Tyson Fury and then Dillian Whyte,” said the 28-year-old, who retained his WBC, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles. Having been rocked by the Russian’s hooks at the end of the first round, leaving his nose broken and bloodied, Joshua was acutely aware of the danger of the older, more experienced challenger. Yet after taking Povetkin’s best shots, his left hook straight right-hand combination twice buckled Povetkin and sent him to the canvas. The Russian climbed groggily to his feet, but Joshua took him to task once mo...

Image
EFCC returns N11.9m stolen by RCCG deacon The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has handed over two cheques totalling N11.9m to a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Rivers State. The amount was said to have been stolen by a deacon of the RCCG, Cyril Idakwoji. The South-South Zonal Head of the EFCC, Mr. Ishaq Salihu, explained on Wednesday that Idakwoji, a former employee of Access Bank, was the account officer of the church for the bank. He said the suspect diverted the church funds to private use instead of transferring them to the church’s bank account. Handing over the cheques to the pastor-in-charge of Province 4 of the RCCG, Salihu said, “He (suspect) forged the letterheads of the church’s region 5 and the signature of the pastor in charge of the region.  He also forged the signature of the church’s accountant to execute his criminal schemes in the RCCG.” The stolen funds were paid back by the bank, which had sacked the suspect. Speaking a...

"I cannot overstate it: Floodwaters are rising, and if you aren’t watching for them you are risking your life," North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said. Very few North Carolina homeowners are covered by flood insurance,  making the flooding even costlier .

Drama, intrigues that preceded Kemi Adeosun’s resignation The resignation of finance minister, Kemi Adeosun, from her post Friday evening did not come without high-wire drama and intrigues. It followed weeks of high-level horse-trading since PREMIUM TIMES unraveled a certificate forgery scandal involving the minister. The minister’s resignation was confirmed Friday evening through a statement by special adviser to the president on media, Femi Adesina. Mr Adesina announced President Muhammadu Buhari’s acceptance of the resignation tendered by the minister. He also provided full text of the minister’s resignation letter.

SIXTEEN RULES TO LIVE BY

Image
SIXTEEN UNWRITTEN RULES.. *BE CIVILIZED! 1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your calls that means they have something more important to attend to, or they are not near their phones at that time. 2.When your colleague/ classmate/teammate or neighbour gets shouted at, please don’t stare at them. It makes the moment twice awkward. 3.When someone drops something on the floor by mistake, drops food from the plate or doesn’t know how to use a knife/fork don’t stare at them. The same goes to people sneezing, coughing or even letting out an uncontrollable fart. They are all involuntary actions. 4. Always skip using the washroom beside the occupied one. It makes it uneasy for the person in the occupied washroom as well as yourself, if you occupy the one right next to theirs. 5. Return money that you have borrowed even before the other person remembers that he lent it to you, be it #100, #100,000 or #1, 000,000. It shows your integrity and c...
