Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to stay at Manchester United this summer and will report back for pre-season training at the beginning of July, despite reports he is ready to quit the club. 

Portuguese sports daily Record claim Ronaldo wants to leave after only one season back at Old Trafford as he fears new boss Erik ten Hag does not have the right tools to compete for titles, while he is also said to be frustrated with the club's transfer window so far. 

However, it is understood the 37-year-old is expected to return for pre-season preparations once back from his summer holidays, which will be slightly extended due to his involvement with Portugal in their three opening Nations League fixtures in June. 

The first players to report back to Carrington on Monday will be those who did not feature in international fixtures this month, while the rest will follow over the course of the following week. 

Ten Hag confirmed during his introductory press conference at United that Ronaldo is part of his plans for the new season, and said he would contribute "goals" to his side. United is in the process of rebuilding after allowing Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Edinson Cavani, Nemanya Matic and Juan Mata to leave when the contract expires. 

United hasn't signed this summer yet, but clubs aren't rushed about the lack of transfer contracts and their focus is said to be on finding the right players at the right prices. 

The club met with Barcelona over midfielder Frenkie de Jong, but also with other players who worked with Ten Hag at Ajax, such as Jurrien Timber and Antony. 

Christian Eriksen is understood to have decided whether to join United or stay in Brentford after his short-term contract with the bee expires this month.

Cristiano Ronaldo Expected To Stay At Man Utd This Summer Despite Reported Frust

*says Peter Obi enjoying social media frenzy only

Former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has been asked to return to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) where he built and has great future to become president.

The Presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has also been told that he does not have hope of becoming a president on his current political platform.

Speaking with newsmen on Sunday in Abuja, Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling APC, Hon. Yakubu Murtala Ajaka, said it is not too late for Kwankwaso to retrace his step.

According to the APC spokesman, Kwankwaso knew about the formation of APC, he contributed immensely to its success in 2015 and our leaders hope to repay him at the appropriate time but he cannot be outside to be a beneficiary in the nearest future.

"So, that is why I said it's not too late for him to return to the APC. That's where he naturally belongs and have an assurance of becoming a President one day, and not his current sectional NNPP.

"Although, some people might be deceiving him by calling him Mr. President already but just one or two states in the North-west can not make him a president. Kwankwaso needs a national party like APC to achieve his presidential ambition. So, I plead to him to do the needful before its too late," Ajaka said.

When asked to comment on Peter Obi and his Labour Party, the APC deputy spokesperson said when the real campaign starts Nigerians will differentiate between boys and men in politics of 2023 general elections.

"Just like Kwankwaso, Peter Obi is only enjoying sectional sympathy but a real presidential candidate needs to enjoy acceptability from all parts of the country. 

"So, we believe that Peter Obi should enjoy his social media frenzy for now before the real campaign starts very soon."

On whether Atiku Abubakar and his PDP will be a serious challenger for the APC in 2023, Ajaka reminded Nigerians that "PDP and Atiku are good customers to APC who cannot go beyond coming second at any election, even that second position has been threatened with the recent result Ekiti governorship election recently."

He said the opposition party will make all the noises without facts, enjoy its propaganda for awhile but Nigerian voters will eventually distinguish between PDP lies and APC record of achievements. At the end of the story our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will certainly emerge victorious in 2023."

Return To Ruling Party, No Future In NNPP, APC Tells Kwankwaso

As Nigerians eagerly anticipate the 2023 presidency, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagos chapter, Joe Igbokwe, on Friday described the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as “overrated “.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Igbokwe, a top campaigner of Bola Tinubu, presidential candidate of the ruling APC, berated Obi for a past comment condemning President Muhammadu Buhari’s system of stimulating the economy via erecting and renovating critical infrastructure.
“You can’t use infrastructure to drive economic growth,” Obi said at the time during an interview on Arise TV. “You invest in education and the SME (Small, Medium Enterprises) sector instead to deal with poverty,” he adds.
Making a flashback to the statement, Igbokwe reprimanded the former Anambra State governor, concluding that he is “just a trader”.
“Somebody who wants to be the President of Nigeria is telling you that infrastructure does not drive the economy in the 21st Century and you are taking that person serious. Peter [Obi] is overrated in Nigeria. He is just a trader,” he wrote on his known Facebook page.

2023 Presidency: Why Peter Obi Is Overrated – Joe Igbokwe

> The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has explained why some names submitted by the All Progressives Progress (APC) as senatorial candidates are missing from the list published by the commission on Friday.

Festus Okoye, INEC spokesperson, spoke on the development in an interview with Channels Television.

Senate President Ahmad Lawan, Godswill Akpabio, former minister of Niger Delta affairs; and Dave Umahi, Ebonyi governor, had been listed by the APC as candidates for Yobe north, Akwa Ibom north-west, and Ebonyi south senatorial districts, respectively.

However, in the list published by the commission on Friday, Lawan, Umahi and Akpabio were said to have been excluded.

The development comes amid controversy over the APC Yobe north senatorial ticket, as well as issues over senatorial primaries featuring Akpabio and Umahi.

Although APC had fixed its senatorial primaries for May, Umahi, Lawan and Akpabio were said to have participated in primaries organised by the APC after the trio contested the APC presidential ticket and lost earlier in June.

Speaking on the development regarding the INEC list, Okoye said the party is not under obligation to publish the names of candidates submitted by political parties if there are questions over the validity of primaries featuring such candidates.

“If you look at section 29(1) of the Electoral Act 2022, section 29 says ‘every political party shall not later than 180 days before the date appointed for a general election under this Act, submit to the commission in the prescribed forms, the list of the candidates it proposes to support at the election, who must have emerged from valid primaries conducted by the political parties’,” he said.

“The commission does not submit the list of candidates. It is the political parties themselves that has been given the locus to submit this particular list and in this case, there is no personal interference between the commission and the political parties.

“We open the portal — what we called ‘candidate nomination portal’ — and we give an access code to the national chairman of each of the political parties that conducted primaries with which they upload the list and personal particulars of their nominated candidates.

“So, if a political party has uploaded the list and personal particulars of a candidate that did not emerge from valid party primary, INEC is not under a constitutional and legal obligation to publish the particulars of such a candidate.”

The INEC spokesperson added that a candidate who was validly nominated at a primary, but whose name was excluded by the party, can seek redress from a competent court.

He also said the list published on Friday is not the final document for the 2023 polls, adding that the final list will be published at a later date.

APC: INEC Explains As Senatorial List Excludes Lawan, Akpabio, Umahi

Some members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the aegis of the Gaskiya Youth Movement have dragged the presidential aspirant of the party, Bola Tinubu, to court, for allegedly supplying false academic qualifications to secure the nomination.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the APC group alleged that the former Lagos State governor was not legally qualified to become the next President of Nigeria in 2023, on grounds that the fresh information he supplied to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) “is not consistent with the earlier forms C.F. 001” he filled in preparation for the governorship election of Lagos State in the year 1999.
The ruling APC, Tinubu, and INEC are 1st to 3rd defendants respectively in the suit sighted by this newspaper.

Meanwhile, the Director (Legal Directorate), Tinubu Campaign Organisation, Babatunde Ogala (SAN), has told the press that they were ready to defend against the threats and allegations.

Tinubu Faces Disqualification Over Academic Credentials

See the conversations I just stumbled upon....

A Youth: Sir, why're you supporting Tinubu? They said he has Lagos in his pockets. Peter Obi is the new Messiah...

Me: (smile, cut in) You were talking about your NYSC mobilisation earlier.

A Youth: Yes, sir, I'm expecting my call up letter, sir.

Me: Great! Let's talk about that, let's leave Tinubu and Obi to their fate.

A Youth: Yes, sir ...

Me: So, what did you say you want me to do?

A Youth: ... to help talk to your contact at NYSC to mobilize me to a fertile state.

A Youth: Ah! Anambra? Ìlú àwon Íbò where dem dey stay at home every Monday? Is Anambra fertile for corpers?

A Youth: Emm..., Uncle, I... I'm not sure corpers can survive at Anambra o...

Me: Stop the joke joor! The same Anambra that new Messiah Obi governed is not fertile for corpers? You don't appear serious...

A Youth: Why not Lagos, sir?

Me: (feign shock) No 'sane' corper will want to get mobilised to Lagos that Tinubu has tucked into his pockets ���

A Youth: (dumbfounded)

Me: (walks away) Let me know when you've made up your mind about going to Anambra�

A Youth: God forbid!

Why Tinubu?

Nottingham Forest have signed Nigeria forward Taiwo Awoniyi from Union Berlin for a club record fee.
> The 24-year-old joins newly promoted Forest on a five-year deal for a reported £17m.

Awoniyi scored 20 goals in 43 games across all competitions last season and becomes Forest's first signing since gaining promotion back to the Premier League.

"It's always been my dream to play in the Premier League," said Awoniyi.

"Having spoken to [Forest boss] Steve Cooper about our ambitions and looking at Forest, with its great history, it's a club that I want to be part of."
After a season-long loan, Awoniyi joined Union Berlin on a permanent deal in July 2021 from Liverpool, where he started his career.

He did not make any first team appearances for Liverpool after signing for the club in 2015 and spent the majority of his six years with the Merseyside side out on loan.

Forest manager Cooper said Awoniyi was a player the club had been monitoring closely over the past few months.

"There's been a lot of interest of Taiwo from other Premier League clubs, and other clubs across Europe, so we're delighted he's chosen Nottingham Forest," Cooper said.

"He's a player who we really believe in and we look forward to him going on to fulfil his potential and become a top Premier League striker with Nottingham Forest."

Scoring 15 goals in 31 league games, Awoniyi was the Bundesliga's sixth highest scorer last season and helped Union Berlin to a fifth-place finish which guarantees the club Europa League football for the first time since the 2001-02 season.

Since making his senior debut for Nigeria in October, the striker has made four appearances and scored his first goal for his nation against Sudan in January at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Forest are expected to sign goalkeeper Dean Henderson, 25, on loan from Manchester United this summer and are also in talks to sign central defender Moussa Niakhate, 26, from Mainz.

“This administration is built on five pillars, our first pillar is security, law, and order. We have created a new ministry, the Ministry of Homeland Affairs, which has also unveiled the security and emergency crack team. We have embarked upon mobilization, sensitization and worked with clergymen and others to mobilize the people against insecurity.

“The people are united in fighting against the lucrative criminal enterprise and idolatrous acts. The criminals have been exposed and our people are leading the fight and changing the narrative. We declared war on them and government is determined to deal with it.

“It took years for criminality to take root, and we have a long way to ensure we stop it. No bushes, forest or home will accommodate criminals in Anambra.”

*A Lesson to Learn from Ike Ekweremadu Kidney Matter!*

By Nick Agule 

Ike Ekweremadu is obviously a powerful man. Spending his 20th year in the Senate of which 12 were as Deputy Senate President.
He could have used the time to get Nigeria a world-class kidney hospital but no! He didn't need kidney treatment so it was his least bother.
Things happen and his own child needed kidney treatment. As it is with President Buhari and everyone who has held office in Nigeria, Ekweremadu shamelessly took his daughter to the UK for treatment where he was going to be attended to by Nigerian nurses and doctors whom Ekweremadu and gang chased away with total neglect of the health sector.
But Ekweremadu did not go with his child alone, he took along a boy who was suffering hardship and pains from a Nigeria Ekweremadu helped to damage. Ekweremadu wanted to harvest this boy's kidney to save his own child. As fate will have it, tests performed on the boy showed his kidney was not a match for Ekweremadu's daughter.
Ekweremadu began to make arrangements to return the boy to Nigeria and obviously take another one to the UK. But the boy tasted and enjoyed the good life in the UK something Ekweremadu and his band of bad and failed leaders deprived him of in Nigeria. The boy saw electricity 24/7 (powered by gas from Nigeria), he did not need to start 'I better pass you generator' or he sleeps in darkness to the joy of mosquitoes. He saw how clean and beautiful the hospitals were different from the mortuaries we call hospitals in Nigeria, and absolutely for free. He saw how efficient the Metropolitan Police were securing the neighbourhood and not the Nigerian police starved of funds by Ekweremadu and gang! The boy enjoyed rides on clean and efficient public transportation (buses, trams, light rail, underground tube, trains, boats etc) and not the Okada, Keke and endless trekking in Nigeria. The boy was awed by the beautiful landscaped, trash free and green environment and not the filth he is used to in Nigeria. The boy saw food everywhere. He saw beautiful schools from nursery to reception to primary to secondary all the way to high school absolutely free. He saw that his dream of university education will be realised even if he has no money for fees, and ASUU will not truncate his dream in the UK. The boy saw unemployed people paid benefits by Govt. The boy saw, enjoyed and liked the UK better than Ekweremadu's Nigeria!
The boy decided he was not going back to Nigeria damaged by Ekweremadu and gang! The boy ran to seek refuge from the metropolitan police. In Ekweremadu's Nigeria, the police would have arrested the boy and dropped him in Kuje prison where for the next 10yrs he will still be on 'awaiting trial' roll. If the boy tried to talk he will be summarily executed and his body paraded as an armed robber gunned down by the 'gallant' police. Ekweremadu and his gang are above the law in a lawless Nigeria they have created.
Unfortunately for Ekweremadu, the UK is not Nigeria. He has exchanged his posh mansion in a highbrow neighbourhood in London for a police cell where he is being schooled in the act of rule of law something he is obviously lacking in his nearly 20yrs as a law maker.
Ekweremadu will have his day in court.
His victim will now enjoy life in the UK because it's easy to prove that if he returns to Nigeria Ekweremadu and his goons will go after him!
If Ekweremadu had done his bit to fix Nigeria, all this drama would not happen!
Ekweremadu and those like him who think they can do well when Nigeria is sick have just found out the bitter truth - no one will prosper better than Nigeria. If Nigeria fails, we fail with it!
In 2023 we have a unique opportunity to elect leaders who understand that our fate is tied to Nigeria's fate. We rise or fall together!
Go get your PVC today!
We wish Ekweremadu's child a quick recovery hoping that now his case is public, a donor will soon be found for her.

A Lesson To Learn From Ike Ekweremadu Kidney Matter!*

There are just some lies that make us look stupid or look like we are suffering from amnesia.
How some people can comfortably insinuate that Tinubu built lagos leaves me bedazzled. Isn't it this same 'Eko' that even from when I was young, way before Tinubu became governor has always been an attraction for everybody that wasn't a resident in lagos? 
You start bragging to people that you are more sophisticated after you visit lagos. And you start imbibing their Parlance. You start learning to say 'mide, mide and oti'.
Isn't this the same lagos that from way back has the overhead bridges (that was for a long time only unique to lagos) and the skyscrapers that leave visiting 'village boys' lost in awe? Isn't this the lagos famous for its fascinating beaches and 'endless' job opportunities?
Isn't this the same lagos that has always had the embassies of different countries that people from 19 'komgba' have always come to to process their 'japa'. Hasn't lagos always been the MECCA of not only Nigeria but West Africa?
Some of these things and situation has been there for about 100years. So, how did Tinubu that was governor for 8years come to build all these things?��‍♂️
EXPERIENCE AND LOGIC INDICATE THAT IF YOU MUST INVENT LIES TO SUPPORT A CAUSE, IT MAYBE THAT THAT CAUSE IS REALLY NOT WORTH SUPPORTING!

The Mecca Of Nigeria

Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is currently attending the prayer for Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila's 60th birthday at the Ansarudeen Central Mosque, Abuja.
He was accompanied by the Governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola, and other chieftains of the All Progressives Congress.
Other dignitaries at the event include the Chief of Staff to the President representing the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari; other Governors, Lawmakers, and other well-wishers.

Tinubu Attends 60th Birthday Prayer For Femi Gbajabiamila

Femi Adesina, the spokesperson for President Muhammadu Buhari, says the #EndSARS protest signifies mayhem, mass destruction and even cannibalism.

Adesina disclosed this in an article titled, ‘WARNING SHOTS FROM KIGALI’ which he shared on his official Facebook page on Thursday.

Nigerians had, in October 2020, protested against the now-disbanded special anti-robbery squad (SARS), a unit of the Nigeria Police Force.

Set up in the mid-1990s to combat armed robbery, SARS morphed into a force associated with harassment, extortion, human rights violations and extrajudicial killing of suspects.

Following additional pressure from human rights groups and local and global media, President Buhari dissolved SARS on October 11, 2020.

The protest, tagged #EndSARS, was later hijacked by hoodlums, leading to killings and destruction of public buildings.

According to Adesina, the protest was hijacked by opposition parties and separatists to destabilise Nigeria.

He said, “On the sidelines of the 26th edition of Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) holding in Kigali, Rwanda, President Muhammadu Buhari and his team Thursday morning visited the Kigali Genocide Memorial, which is one of the monuments in memory of about a million people that were killed in the 1994 pogrom.

“I had written before that if Nigeria dies, it is hatred that killed her. And our pastors would not be innocent. Nor the Imams, and everyone that trades in hateful language against government and other ethnic groups. Those things pile up continuously, till it boils over, and cascades on an entire country. The heinous crimes we see in the land today cannot be entirely divorced from hateful and incendiary speeches.

“The tour of the Genocide Memorial took the whole of one hour and five minutes. You start from a video account from survivors, who recounted the gory way in which fathers, mothers, siblings, children were slaughtered, and how they were lucky to be alive. Sad. Dolorous.

“And then we moved to the burial place of the 250,000 victims. A pensive President Buhari lay a wreath there. Then to a pictorial excursion of the history of Rwanda. They had once been a happy, united people before colonial rule came. They had their monarchical system, and the fissures among them were not emphasized.

“The monarchy was abolished, the country suffered instability and the differences between the people became prominent. The Hutus began to see themselves as superior beings, a kind of Aryan supremacy as espoused by Adolf Hitler. There were killings in the 50s, 60s, 70s, till things first degenerated into a civil war, and genocide in 1994.

“Come and see skulls of the dead. In many hundreds. Bones that were exhumed and preserved. In many thousands. Pictures of the dead, adults and children, men and women, in their thousands. Clothes and personal effects of the slain. All kept for posterity to see. It was man’s inhumanity to man at its worst, result of hatred, malice, evil hearts, ill will.

“Let us carry those bishops and pastors who spew hatred from the pulpit, and bring them to the genocide museum. And the imams too. Maybe they will ‘lend themselves some brain.’ And the TV and radio hosts, who make snide, hateful remarks, and allow their guests to do the same. That was the same road Rwanda trod, and genocide was unleashed on the land.

“The media is said to have played a huge role in the genocide, lending itself to being used to denigrate the Tutsis. Till things boiled over. One Hassan Ngeze is on record to have written in a newspaper he owned and edited, about the Tutsis: “Let whatever is smouldering erupt.”

“Permit me to recall some of the things I said in an earlier piece, with the title, If Nigeria dies, hatred killed her:

“What a week it has been for our own dear native land! Just at the beginning of the month, as the country turned 60 as an independent entity, President Muhammadu Buhari had charged us to “begin sincere process of national healing, eliminate old and outworn perceptions that are always put to test in the lie they are.”

“Some people call it ‘the mistake of 1914,’ in which what used to be the Northern and Southern Protectorates were forcefully cobbled together by the colonial masters, leading to the emergence of Nigeria. Since then, it has been one uneasy relationship among the people that make up the Union. Suspicion of domination, ethnic rivalry, fear of being given the shorter end of the stick, gaining unfair advantage, and the like, have characterized the relationship. And the overriding sentiment is hatred, fueled and justified by many factors and tendencies.

“If Nigeria dies, whether now or in the future, hatred killed her. How can a people go about, bearing giant-sized grudges against their country, its leadership, against one another, and expect that country to live in peace and prosperity? It won’t happen. “When we don’t know who to hate, we hate ourselves,” observed a writer.

“The EndSARS campaign began as an agitation against police brutality, in which there was unanimity of purpose. And suddenly, it became a vehicle of hate. Against leadership, against national cohesion, an opportunity to settle political scores, and equally prepare for power grab in 2023. Hatred came into the mix.

“The agitation by youths against injustice and oppression suddenly took on a variegated nature. Separatists came under the umbrella, and began to advance their cause, working for the dismemberment of the country. Those beaten black and blue in 2015 and 2019 elections also crept in, and asked for pound of flesh, while also plotting for a return to power in 2023.

“The venom, which peaceful protests eventually became, can only be summed up by one word. Hatred. How can you begin to club people to death, in different parts of the country? How can you set fire to national assets and institutions, storm prisons and release prisoners into society, all in the name of peaceful protests? No, peace had fled through the window, and hatred was fully in control.

“There are many factors and agencies of hatred in Nigeria, and until we learn to purge ourselves, the country may never move beyond where it has been pirouetting and gyrating for six decades. Like the macabre dance, it has been one step forward and two steps backwards.

“Hatred is evinced from many quarters for Nigeria, and for its government and people at any given time. It comes from churches, mosques, professional activists and agitators, interest groups, some elements in the media, so-called analysts who never see anything good, and so on and so forth.

“When things boil over in graphic demonstration of hatred, it is a culmination of negative sentiments and tendencies. They come in persistent negative postings on social media, which generate and stimulate hate. From hateful messages from the pulpit, as if that was the message of love Jesus Christ handed over to his followers. From unduly critical messages during jumat services. From radio and television programs, in which bile is spewed. From talkshows which become a harangue of government, newspaper articles and columns tailored to instigate and generate dissent, and the like.”

Separatists, Losers Of 2015, 2019 Elections Were Behind #Endsars Protest –Buhari

Kanu: Buhari lying to world leaders, IPOB alleges

> The Indigenous People of Biafra has told the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to stop giving untenable excuses concerning the continuous detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The group was reacting to a statement credited to Buhari at the just-concluded Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Kigali Rwanda, alleging that Buhari was lying to world leaders.

Buhari was said to be reacting to a question put across to him by the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.

In a statement on Sunday, the IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said the development in Kigali, meant that world leaders were aware of the pranks of Buhari and his government on the issue of Kanu.

Powerful insisted that Kanu did not jump bail as being propagated by Buhari, but only ran for his dear life.

He said, “The United Kingdom Prime Minister specifically asked Buhari why Kanu is still in detention but instead of responding to the question frontally, Buhari chose to play to the gallery.

“Is it that he was not aware that his military personnel invaded Kanu’s Afaraukwu country home on September 14, 2017, or that he deliberately decided to be mischievous?

“The video evidence of the military invasion of his house which claimed no fewer than 30 lives, only confirmed that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu did what was needful for the moment.”

“We are aware that he has been under intense pressure to explain the role of his government over the illegal abduction and extraordinary rendition from Kenya to Nigeria of a British citizen.”

The secessionist group further pointed out that the commonwealth meeting in Rwanda exposed Buhari and his government as he was looking for an opportunity to “lie” against Kanu.

It added that the president chose to lie to the international community and commonwealth heads of government in Kigali that Kanu jumped bail.

The statement read in part, “The world should hold Buhari accountable for whatever that may happen to Kanu.

“The UK Prime Minister specifically asked Buhari why the Biafra leader was still in detention, but in his response, Buhari lied and associated Kanu with ‘jumping bail’ as if he is ignorant of his deploying the military code-name ‘operation python dance II’ which he, as the Commander in Chief of the Nigerian Armed forces, instructed to invade the palace, village and Afaraukwu Ibeku Kingdom (community) Umuahia province (Abia State) which only mission was to kill Kanu and any living thing found in his compound.

Whenever you think about altering your kitchen's look with the lighting or plan to incorporate some new lighting, you should once bear in mind the effect that lighting can have in your kitchen. 

Well-thought-out lighting can boost up your kitchen's entire appeal.

You may ignore it, but it is a fact that every little detail and fixture can create a huge difference. 

Lighting Types And The Way They Enhance Your Kitchen Appeal

Perfect kitchen lighting can fix the tone and mood of all aspects of your home, particularly the kitchen. To know further - drill down!

1: Accent Lights

As the name indicates, Accent kitchen lighting adds depth and dimensions to your kitchen if used appropriately. You can even use adjustable lighting s and track lighting as an accent light.

Accent lights are least used to fascinate and highlight the different features of your kitchen, such as valuated ceiling, fan hood, and even fireplace. 

The accent light looks cooler when they are appropriately installed and used. If you use accent lights appropriately and carefully, they can transform your kitchen into a museum. 

2: Decorative Lighting

Many interior designers' opinion is that decorative lighting adds a completely different type of zing to the kitchen’s ambiance. These kinds of lighting make your kitchen different from the conventional one. Using decorative kitchen lighting with the appropriate lighting fixtures can boost your kitchen's appeal without affecting the touch of simplicity.

To avoid any hassle or inconvenience, you can get an expert kitchen contractor’s advice on installing kitchen lighting to get a clever, good-looking, and hardworking kitchen scheme. Experts can amazingly improve the lighting layout and sync it with your daily routine!

3: Ambient Lights

Ambient lighting gives a diffused and soft glow to your kitchen. This glow can be obtained with recessed lights, ceiling-mounted lighting fixtures, washers, or kitchen wall lighting.

For small kitchens, flush mounts, recessed lights, and semi-flush mount ceiling lights are good as they don't take up massive kitchen space.

If you want to develop a warm kitchen atmosphere in the evening (particularly when living in cool areas), select transitional lights that can turn from cool to warm. These lights offer versatility!

Many lights can adjust the tone; they get cool when cooking and get warm when entertaining or dining. 

4: Task Lighting

Task lighting is also a special type of lighting typically used to light up kitchen areas where you work to get your food ready. For instance, task lights are installed near countertops, so this area can directly catch up to the light and make your cutting, chopping, and cooking easy. 

Other than countertops, you can also use task lights inside your pantry closet so that the goods placed on the shelves become easily visible to you. 

If you are looking for task lights, it is great to go for puck lights or LED strip lights with low voltage - these will work fine in your kitchen. 

5: General Lighting

The basic purpose of general lighting is to fill the gaps in the area where you feel more lighting is required. 

For general lighting, kitchen contractors prefer to use recessed lights as recessed lights are great enough to brighten the kitchen space effectively. 

One more critical thing to mention is that lighting such as a pendant or chandelier installed on the kitchen island is also considered general lighting. 

6: Toe Kick Lights

These kinds of kitchen lighting systems are usually installed under the cabinets. The major purpose of these toe kick lights is to illuminate the kitchen floor. It often works as a night light - when you visit the kitchen for snacks craving, these lights help you get your snacks faster and without any hassle. 

Final Words

Lighting can make your kitchen an inviting and welcoming space - if used rightfully, your kitchen atmosphere will become purposeful. Right lighting ensures the kitchen's cleanliness and visibility, so whatever you perform becomes clear and easy.

So, we can say that kitchen lights are not all about functionality, but it also impacts the kitchen appeal. So, whatever type you decide to incorporate, consider both factors (appeal and functionality) and the focal point.

How Kitchen Lighting Makes A Difference To The Whole Design Scheme

Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Yakubu Ajaka, has said that the former Governor of Anambra State and the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi should be allowed to enjoy his sectional sympathy and social media frenzy for now.

He said that when political campaigns start, Nigerians would differentiate between boys and men in politics.

Speaking with journalists on Sunday in Abuja, Ajaka also said that the former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso cannot become the president of Nigeria with a sectional party like New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).

He said, “Just like Kwankwaso, Peter Obi is only enjoying sectional sympathy but a real presidential candidate needs to enjoy acceptability from all parts of the country.

“So, we believe that Peter Obi should enjoy his social media frenzy for now before the real campaign starts very soon.”

The APC chieftain noted that Kwankwaso, who is the presidential candidate of NNPP should return to the ruling party, where he can have a great chance of becoming president in the future.

He stressed that winning one or two states in the North-West won’t make him the president.

He stated: “Kwankwaso knew about the formation of APC, he contributed immensely to its success in 2015 and our leaders hope to repay him at the appropriate time but he cannot be outside to be a beneficiary in the nearest future.

“So, that is why I said it’s not too late for him to return to the APC. That’s where he naturally belongs and has an assurance of becoming a president one day, and not his current sectional NNPP.

“Although, some people might be deceiving him by calling him Mr. President already, but just one or two states in the North-West can’t make him a president. Kwankwaso needs a national party like APC to achieve his presidential ambition. So, I urged him to do the needful before it’s too late,” Ajaka said.

2023: Obi Should Enjoy His Sectional Sympathy, Social Media Frenzy For Now –

Monaco coach Philipp Klement has confirmed that the club has signed with Liverpool striker Takumi Minamino. 

Last week, Sportsmail revealed that the club had agreed to a contract with Japan International. It consists of an additional £ 2.6 million add-ons in addition to an initial cost of £ 12.9 million. 

The club hadn't officially announced the transfer yet, but Clement did both jobs when he spoke on Saturday as a bystander in a friendly match against Cercle Brugge in Monaco. 

I'm very happy. I've known him for a long time," Clement told RMC Sports. 

He was at the top of our list. Everyone here believes that they have the qualities to bring something to the team. 

He has done a lot of good things in Salzburg in a style similar to ours, like Liverpool, which is already experienced and has a lot of competition, so this is an opportunity.

Minamino joined Liverpool from RB Salzburg for £ 7.25 million in January 2020, but was unable to establish himself as the first team player at the forefront of a fierce battle. 

Sadio Mané moved to Bayern Munich, but Liverpool signed with Diogo Jota, then Luis Diaz, and now Darwin Núñez since the arrival of Minamino, keeping the 27-year-old player down in pecking. rice field. 

During the two and a half years Minamino was in Liverpool, he played 53 times in all tournaments, including 11 Premier League games in 2021/22, scoring three goals. 

Writing on the Merseyside seemed to hang on the wall as he played 10 games before returning to Anfield with a half-season loan in Southampton in the 2020/21 season. 

With Japan participating in the World Cup in November, Nanno was looking for a new home to play first-team soccer on a regular basis ahead of the tournament. 

Winger played 55 games in the Reds' career and scored 14 goals.

I want to start by saying I am a Philosophy student from the University of Lagos. To be honest I hate that course but what I really like about the course is the need to ask fundamental and critical questions about anything which is what philosophy is majorly about don't let anybody tell you otherwise, which explains why they are always in constant conflict with religious people because of their beliefs are been seen as dogmatic. Regardless as a human being, you just need to question the nature or situation of things in our environment (No wonder it is compulsory in most tertiary institution fields in Nigeria).

Now to my question coz this whole thing is about to get more complicating. Please note this while exercising your brain: In every Generalization there is always an Exception

The Economy/Society: We both know that most African countries are been tagged The third world countries, not taken as equal, consider less, consume more than they produce, countries that are in an endless loop of development, religious but not practical, still practice traditional tribalistic acts in this modern age of science and technology and other bad vices that is been associated with our countries... 

Now we both know the high level of homophobic nature in most African countries, I don't need to start explaining all that. One thing i noticed is that most African people yearn for a better lifestyle or will rather wish to go to places with a better lifestyle such as the developed countries as we usually call them. But what surprise me of all is that they are miraculously about to tolerate to a certain extent the nature of the LGBTQ group which seems questionable to me.

The Questions
In solving a conflicting situation, most people usually opt for a more diplomatic solutions a kind of mutual benefit for both parties that are involved and mutual understand/benefit has a huge part to play in all this. 

Question 1
Now with all this does it mean that the developed countries are just more understanding and practical in their decision making and the African societies are just nonunderstanding and too religious in their decision making ? regarding the perception of the LGBTQ group.

Question 2
Let think about a country where the LGBTQ group is the majority and the heterosexual is the minority now I am not saying that you should start thinking there are more gay men there coz LGBTQ group means there are other type of different sexualities.. Me for 1 I can tell you that atrocities will be committed but we have also seen atrocities committed in the heterosexual communities where father's sleep with their daughters and mother's sleep with their sons so I will place it in a equal standard and I will tell you why.. if it is an uncivilized country with little regard for human lives such as we have seen terrorists, herdsman, unknown gunmen and others it will be very high but if it is a civilized country with a very high regard for human lives in developed countries it will be very low.. I am not saying it will not be there but it will be very low.. But thinking deep what other things will happen?

Question 3
Using the rule of double standard 
This miraculous change/behavior of Africa people to not tolerate the nature of the LGBTQ group in developing countries and to tolerate the nature of the LGBTQ group in developed places is it a Natural behavior or a Learned behavior because most people tend to draw a religious view or opinion towards the LGBTQ group for that behavior but it is the same holy book that teach we should love thy neighbor as yourself or how is it been put but in this situation they are human being like you and i. In philosophy it is the Golden Rule we use, which is similar, which says .. you should treat others the way you want to be treated yourself. 

Question 4(Not completely related)
Regarding education, I don't know which group value education the most in Nigeria is it the struggling parents who toll day and night to send their children to school hoping that one day they may become something in the future or the school students (undergraduate) aka leaders of tomorrow who feel that their time is been waste with the constant strike, delay, bad governmental policies which tries to make money from them off education and still make access to it hard.. having to cheat their ways or just do la cram la pour or the stakeholders are disillusioned, who feel they are fighting for our students rights but in all seriousness are only fighting for their own benefits or the government officials who's own children don't know the meaning of ASUU.

With these statistics I can say Education is not highly valued, If Education is not high valued and many people are not really enlightened does it mean that we are the cause of our own headaches and Education still have a very long way to go coz we fail to look at things from every angle and not only from only one angle

Let Discuss!!!

Kudos to the YouTube channel itscomplicatedchannel I don't know if he is a redpiller or we just need to give a deeper though to what is happening in our societies.

LGBTQ Vs HOMOPHOBES In The African Society.

ASUU proffers solution to ongoing strike

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has observed that resolving its ongoing strike action could be done by the adoption of the transparent payment platform, University Transparency and Accountability Solutions (UTAS).

Dr Socrates Ebo, Chairperson of ASUU, Federal University Otuoke, Bayelsa State chapter, in a statement, lamented that the deep-rooted penchant for corruption within government ethos is all out to frustrate its deployment, saying that UTAS has been proven to be a flawless payment platform.

According to him, the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), has been decisively proven to be a porous, easily compromised payment platform.

The chairperson opined that the IPPIS has been ineffective in curtailing waste of resources, stressing that on the contrary it has been used to pad payrolls and used to effect all manner of fraudulent deductions from workers’ salaries.

He explained, “We definitely can’t continue this way, the adoption of a transparent payment platform is critical to resolving the current impasse in the nation’s university system. UTAS has been proven to be a flawless payment platform but the deep-rooted penchant for corruption in our government ethos is all out to frustrate its deployment.”

He stated that no lecturer under IPPIS can say for certain what his salary is, pointing out that what they find queer is the insistence of some government officials on the use of IPPIS when it is proven to be compromised and corruption-prone.

The statement noted that UTAS has been designed to be corruption-proof, asking why the government would not be interested in a payment platform that is cheap, 100% corruption-proof, and 100% indigenous.

It stated that if IPPIS was corruption-proof, the accountant-general of the federation would not have been able to loot N80 billion and N70 billion.

It said the statement claimed of savings by IPPIS are fraudulent, saying that IPPIS arbitrarily cuts workers’ legitimate salaries to cover its heavily corrupt and inefficient tracks to create the false impression of efficiency and savings.

The statement explained that the recently paid minimum wage arrears are a case study as many persons have not been paid till date, stressing that in his branch alone, 40 persons have not been paid while the Minister of Labour thinks that they were paid three years arrears.

He added that what they received was a mere nine months without any clear template on how the payments were made, stressing that nobody knows what they are entitled to, nobody can ask questions to anybody and even the university bursars can’t explain how the payments were made and what was paid.

He suggested that the government should get serious with education in the country, saying that in the 60s and 70s, the universities ranked high among their peers with scholars all over the world coming to their universities to teach and study.

He lamented that today, the universities are so dead that even their politicians no longer believe in them as they now send their wards abroad for the same education, saying that they are the people killing education in the country as ASUU is the only bastion of defence for quality education in this country.

The chairperson noted that when education is destroyed, healthcare is also destroyed, and doctors are taught new procedures and skills at the universities, not at Aso Rock Clinic or National Assembly, pointing out that eventually, everyone gets sick and everyone eventually suffers consequences of the dearth of educational infrastructure.

ASUU Proffers Solution To Ongoing Strike

Pupils in Anambra public schools rejecting promotion to new class because of food — School Feeding Scheme Manager

The Programme Manager, National Homegrown School Feeding Scheme in Anambra State, Mrs Eriken Uzoamaka, has expressed regret that pupils in classes One to Three across Public Primary Schools in the state were rejecting promotion to senior classes because of food.

Uzoamaka explained that the rejection was as a result of the pupils delight on the kind of food they were served which usually surpass that of pupils in classes 4 to 6.

According to her, even those that agree to be promoted, usually come to their junior class (Primary 3), especially on Wednesdays, to struggle for food with others.

Speaking in Awka after a two-day capacity building workshop on Enhancing Social Protection Programme in Nigeria, organised by the Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ), Uzoamaka said that efforts were on ground to solve the challenge.

She added: “We serve rich food to pupils in classes 1 to 3 as captured in the national homegrown school feeding scheme. That is why even those that agree to be promoted usually come to their junior class (primary 3), especially on Wednesdays to struggle for food with others. We serve beans and plantains (or with sweet potatoes) that day.

“We are appealing to Anambra State government to support the programme by feeding pupils from primary 4 to 6 and probably include feeding of pre-primary school pupils to curb the challenges and increase more numbers of pupils in public schools.

“Since the inception of the programme in 2016, about 10 cooks have died and it is affecting the programme in some schools.

It is only the national that can recruit and replace them, we have no right to replace them but we have written to inform the national body but they are yet to be replaced.”

While listing other challenges facing the programme in Anambra State to include death of 10 cooks and the high cost of foodstuff in the market, the Programme Manager noted that the situation has made it impossible for affected schools to benefit because new cooks were yet to be employed by the federal government.

“The cooks are really complaining and the high cost of food items is making it difficult for them to give us adequate meal per child.

This development has made the Federal Government agree to increase the meal price from N70 to N100, but it is yet to be implemented,” she said.
