Former Bayern Munich Boss Uli Hoeness Released From Prison
Former Bayern Munich Boss Uli Hoeness Released From Prison
Uli Hoeness, the
disgraced former president of Germany's top soccer team, Bayern Munich,
was released from prison on Monday morning. The 64-year-old served 21
months of his three and a half year sentence for tax evasion.
Before
the scandal broke that Hoeness had cheated the authorities of 28.5
million euros ($31.5 million), he was known as the major force behind
Bayern's meteoric rise in prominence within world soccer. Hoeness had
succeeded German soccer legend Franz Beckenbauer in 2009 after a 30-year
mentorship with the legendary defender.
"It's
not over!" the self-made son of a butcher said before starting his
sentence in March 2014. Never far from the club he helped mould, when
his day release for good behavior came in January 2015, Hoeness was
right back to work for Bayern, helping the team's youth academy.
Before
becoming president, Hoeness played for the Munich team himself, which
won the European Cup three times from 1974-76. Part of the national team
that took home the World Cup in 1974, Hoeness was forced to retire at
the age of 27 and became the youngest ever manager of Bayern.
The ex-president has said he will announce his future plans on July 1, the same day Carlo Ancelotti is set to replace Pep Guardiola as Bayern's coach.
Abduction: Ese Oruru says she wants to remain in Kano with her lover
Abduction: Ese Oruru says she wants to remain in Kano with her lover
Premium Times reported that Ese Oruru, who was allegedly
kidnapped from Bayelsa to Kano, said she was not
interested in reuniting with her family and denied being
abducted from her home in Bayelsa State. In an exclusive audio recording
obtained by the online publication today, the girl also said she eloped
with her lover to Kano in order to convert to Islam.
“My name is Aisha Chuwas. I am 17-year-old. I came here to be a Muslim and I will stay here.”
Human rights lawyer, Huwaila Mohammed, who was given access
to the girl at the Zonal Police Headquarters in Kano, said upon
interrogation, she understood the girl was never forced to convert to
Islam. She also had access to Miss Oruru’s lover and established that he
is just 18 years old, 'not anywhere above 20'.
“I was surprised when I saw a very small boy. He is just
18-year old. I was enraged thinking that it was an old man involved in
the saga. From the way I see it, they eloped not because of religion but
love,” she said. Hmm, true love sha!

With the current oil price, we have to proritize and downsize our promises- Lai Mohammed
With the current oil price, we have to proritize and downsize our promises- Lai Mohammed
His words
"When you campaign, you say you’ll do A, B, C, but when you win elections, you’ll priotize. We were elected for a four-year period, not for one year. Things, we hope, will not be bad all through these four years.
We are still faithful to those promises, but as you have rightly said, when we were campaigning, the price of crude was $100 a barrel. Today, its $30 a barrel, so definitely, we would have to downsize some of the things we intended to do, or prioritize them but this does not mean abandoning those promises.”

Everything happening now we know is the handiwork of witches and wizard. Soon a new story will emerge. Whether people realise it or not, everybody now knows his holiness, our G.O. Rev King. The front pages of newspapers are flooded with his name. People are yearning to read about him in the social media. I can confirm to you that by all these, a lot of people have become endeared to him. Our Daddy G.O. shall live forever for us in Jesus name".They sang hymns and danced to mark Reverend King's birthday whose death sentence was confirmed on his birthday which was last Friday February 26.
Doyin Okupe replies Osinbajo on his statement that GEJ didn't build a single road
Doyin Okupe replies Osinbajo on his statement that GEJ didn't build a single road
Former spokesperson to the immediate past President, Doyin Okupe, took to
his Facebook page to react to the statement made by Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo, on Friday Feb 26th at the Fountain of Life Church in Ilupeju,
Lagos, that the Federal government in the last 10 years did not
construct a single road. According to Okupe, Osinbajo lied in church. Checkout what he wrote below
This is perhaps one of the most difficult posts I have made to date. Prof Yemi Osinbajo and I have a few things in common. He is a professional in politics like me. He is a practising Christian and a revered Pastor. I am a practising christian and an aspiring Evangelist. We both are alumni of Igbobi college, Yaba. Lagos. His younger brother and mine were classmates at Igbobi and are both pastors of the fountain of life church, Ilupeju, where I became grounded in Christianity under the mentorship of the celebrated and revered man of God, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya. It was in this church and before a body of pastors undergoing a spiritual retreat that the Vice President went and said " that the federal government in the last 10 years have not constructed a single new road " This statement is a lie and an absolute falsehood. Many people have said so. But this is not why I am writing this. My concern is the erroneous assumption that just because the VP is a Christian therefore every christian is APC. This why the VP's statement is unfortunate in that it was a wrong statement made in a wrong place(church) and before a wrong audience. The church must also be sensitive and mindful of the danger in bringing politics into the church. For Prof Osinbajo, if only he remembered the Igbobi college motto " omnes unum in domino" meaning " all are one in the Lord" he would not have committed such a blunder. Our God is God of APC,PDP,Labour etc . Having said this the VP is someone I hold in very high esteem and he knows this. I am also proud of his role in this administration".
