CRISTIANO RONALDO BREAKS JUVETUS' GOAL SCORING RECORD


Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo on Saturday became the first-ever Juventus player to score 25 goals in Serie A in over 60 years. The 35-year-old goal-machine achieved this monumental feat during Juve's league clash against their local rivals Torino. Cristiano's free-kick goal helped him match the efforts of former Juve forward and club legend Omar Sivori from 1960-61. Ronaldo's impressive goal-scoring standards have been maintained throughout the current season, with him finding the back of the net on 25 occasions through just 26 appearances in the Italian top-flight.
 It was the 46th club goal Ronaldo had scored in his career direct from a free kick but his first in nearly two seasons with Juventus and on his 43rd attempt.
“I needed to score from a free kick to get some confidence back,” the 35-year-old Ronaldo said.

NIGERIA SOCIAL MEDIA RE-CREATORS (IKORODU BOIS) INVITED FOR THE PREMIERE OF CHRIS HEMSWORTH'S EXTRACTION 2


Remember Ikorodu Bois? The Nigerian comedy group that recreates and mimics multi-million dollar music videos and Hollywood movie trailers. Well, they're back and this time they create Chris Hemsworth's very famous Extraction trailer. The Netflix movie produced by Russo Brothers enjoyed great popularity on the OTT platform and its success even prompted the makers to start planning for its sequel. Now months after its release, the very famous Ikorodu Bois have attempted to recreate its action-packed trailer and their attempt is impressive. Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Made in Low Budget by Bunch of College Students Impresses Film's Directors Russo Brothers (Watch Viral Video).
 While keeping in mind their own concerns, the group has tried to imitate the trailer frame to frame along with few additional scenes. While one may believe if shooting Hemsworth's action scenes was a tedious task, these young boys have managed to ape them like a pro, not to forget without any stunt doubles or action choreography. They are apparently in love with this Netflix outing and want Hemsworth to see and if possible even appreciate their efforts. We wonder if the Thor actor will come across their tribute and if he does, will he choose to shower them with heaps of praises? Extraction: Chris Hemsworth Expresses His Love for Long Action Sequences and Speaks About the Climax of the Netflix Film.

FACT: CORONA VIRUS IS NOT THE REAL KILLER OF ITS VICTIMS


The problem with such a fast and widespread pandemic as the novel coronavirus is that scientists and doctors only understand the virus and the disease it causes while in a state of flux. Knowledge changes almost daily and it's often disseminated through hundreds of preliminary scientific reports that doctors on the ground might not have time to scour, busy as they are saving lives.
Some experts ponder whether scientists are going too fast in the well-intentioned race to understand the pandemic, causing more confusion than anything else.

NAIRA MARLEY BREAKS SILENCE ON FUNKE AKINDELE’S CASE


Popular musician, Azeez Fashola, aka Naira Marley, has broken silence on his arrest and arraignment by the Lagos Government for violating restriction orders.
Naira Marley and a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Babatunde Gbadamosi, were arrested for flouting the COVID-19 lockdown order.
They were among guests that attended the 42nd birthday party organized by Funke Akindele at Amen Estate on Sunday for her husband, JJC Skillz.
However, the Defence Counsel, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa (SAN), on Tuesday, withdrew the four counts filed against Naira Marley and Gbadamosi.
The charges were withdrawn on the condition that the defendants would tender an apology to President Muhammadu Buhari and the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Speaking on the development, Marley in a post on his Twitter page, said henceforth, he will listen to the government and offer full support.
His tweet read: “Snitches on Twitter will get you arrested and still want you to fight the government for them.
“From now on it’s just Marlians only. Let’s all listen to the government and give them our full support.”
Recall that Funke and her husband, JJC were on Monday, sentenced after they pleaded guilty to hosting an event that had over twenty persons in attendance.
The offence was contrary to the social distancing directives made in pursuant to Regulation 8(1)(a) and (b) & 17(1)(i) of the Lagos State Infectious Disease (Emergency Prevention) Regulations 2020.

Recall that after Nigeria confirmed its first case of COVID-19, many wealthy Nigerians and the private sector made donations publicly to assist the government.
The account was set up under the Private Sector Coalition Against COVID-19.
Davido, whose father contributed to the relief fund took to his Twitter page demanding that the government accounts for each kobo spent.
His post read: “Make dem return our money oh, which one be say office don burn.

GOV. SANWO-OLU SHOULD SHOW FATHERLY LOVE TO NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS FUNKE AKINDELE







A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has appealed to the Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwoolu, to grant state pardon to popular actress and Nollywood icon, Mrs. Funke Akindele-Bello.

While speaking with journalists in court today at Ogba, after the proceedings that terminated the charges brought against Mr Babatunde Gbadamosi and Azeez Fashola (Naira Marley), the human rights activist stated that since the state made the case in court yesterday that it was not out to persecute citizens, Akindele should be granted reprieve, moreso that she has demonstrated remorse for her conduct.
He stated that since the federal government is granting amnesty to 2,600 prisoners, the Governor should emulate this good gesture and show fatherly love to the Bellos.
This should also be extended to all those arrested for jogging on the streets, as they could not have all set out deliberately to disobey the COVID-19 Regulation,” Adegboruwa said.
The senior lawyer added that “since we are facing a novel situation at hand, government should show some magnanimity to its citizens, as is being done all over the world.
“Nigerians have never been locked down for this long, without food or money and it is not proper to add to their woes with arrest and prosecution.”
He commended the steps so far taken by the government and urged all Nigerians to continue to cooperate with the government to end the scourge.
Funke Akindele was arrested on Monday after staging a birthday party for her husband, JJC Skillz.
The couple later pleaded guilty at a Lagos Magistrates Court and were sentenced to community service and fined 100,000 each.
