I am comfortable on my own; music has not really paid me. “Have I signed an endorsement deal? Companies come to me but I don’t agree with their terms. You cannot use money to buy me because I am not desperate. “I was hoping that the Copyright Society of Nigeria would do some calculation and pay artistes, but nothing has happened.

super Eagles defender Leon Balogun has called for racism action after seeing his dream year scarred. The 30-year-old Brighton defender, made childhood wishes come true by playing in the World Cup for Nigeria and then following idol Thierry Henry into the Premier League. But earlier in 2018 the kind of bigotry he sometimes experienced while growing up in Germany reared its ugly head when he was playing for Mainz. Balogun, son of a Nigerian father and German mother, said: “It was at Hannover, my first club as a professional. “During the second half, we warmed up just in front of their ultras stand. I was there with team-mate Anthony Ujah, who is also Nigerian and has really dark skin. “They started to do monkey noises. I’m a person that likes to speak up and I was like, ‘Yo, shut it — you only feel strong now because you are behind there and surrounded by people’. “I was just angry. Our fitness coach was standing next to us and saying, ‘Leon, what’s up? Calm down, calm down! Don’t giv

Donald Trump's suffocating presence and unhinged executive power is the product of history

Given the presidency's evolution, Donald Trump, the overlord of American politics, is not a fluke, or some historic anomaly. He’s an inevitability. Another day, another avalanche of news about the President: berating Democratic leaders on camera; unceremoniously announcing the departure of his chief of staff; calling his former Secretary of State “dumb as a rock.” It never lets up. Trump is a ubiquitous, suffocating presence in American life. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. The modern presidency is the framers’ worst nightmare, a flatly unconstitutional concentration of power. As the Trump era has made abundantly clear, the office itself — its size, scope, and prominence in American life — is the driving force of dysfunction in our politics. Article II of the Constitution outlines a modest office. The president was to execute the laws passed by Congress, appoint some key government posts, interface with foreign leaders, and use the veto to check populist passio

MADRID, Spain -- Karim Benzema shot Real Madrid to within two points of La Liga leaders Barcelona with the winner in a scrappy 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano, while countryman Antoine Griezmann fired a brace in a 3-2 win over Real Valladolid to take Atletico Madrid level with Barca. Benzema's 13th-minute strike was enough for Real to move up to third on 29 points, two behind Barca, who travel to Levante on Sunday evening, and second-placed Atleti. Sevilla have the chance to move back above Real and level with the leading pair when they host mid-table Girona early on Sunday. However they were made to sweat for the victory points by plucky Rayo, who are second-from-bottom but would have snatched a point in stoppage time had Sergio Ramos not cleared the second of Thibaut Courtois' double saves, from Alex Alegria and Emiliano Velazquez, off the line. "That's football," said relieved Madrid coach Santiago Solari. "That's why it's such a beautiful

How Daddy Freeze Fooled Nigerians

everything daddy freeze said and agitated about in 2018, showed a calculated move to be in the conversation of whatever possible it is to distract a nation. Everything he said or did played into a quick fill system – for arguments, anger, sentiments and malice, without any usefulness to society, or benefit for tomorrow. Nothing he said was fair, credible, or new. It is often for those who can’t think beyond him, or those who haven’t heard before, or those who cannot contrive a balanced view for themselves. Daddy freeze was the perfect escape for many – no matter their need, or situation. Some who thought that anything he said was brilliant, would talk like him to question things, but refused to understand that their words are worthless. A Church and Pastor say what they want to themselves. Their information is mostly internal, or for those that may be interested. Not something for public scrutiny, or for one person to claim to save people who go somewhere voluntarily – from

UN chief Antonio Guterres has called for a “credible” investigation into journalist Jamal Khashoggi’s murder in Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Istanbul. “It is absolutely essential to have a credible investigation and to have the punishment of those that were guilty,” Guterres said at the Doha Forum conference in Qatar on Sunday. The UN chief said he had no information on the case except what had been reported in the media. Khashoggi, a Saudi contributor to the Washington Post, was killed on October 2 shortly after entering the kingdom’s consulate in what Riyadh called a “rogue” operation. Saudi Arabia has repeatedly rejected Turkish demands to extradite suspects connected to the murder of the journalist, a critic of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. ‘Ignoring murder’ Turkey’s foreign minister said on Saturday that his country would “not give up” on establishing the truth about the murder. “We haven’t received any new information or outcome of the investigation from the S

Qatar Petroleum (QP) is looking to invest at least $20bn in the United States, its chief executive has said, after the Gulf Arab state quit OPEC, freeing Doha from potential legal risks in the US. Saad al-Kaabi, who holds the energy portfolio of the world’s top liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer, also said on Sunday QP aimed to announce its foreign partners for the new LNG trains it is building by the middle of next year. But he added QP could carry out the project alone, with no international oil company at its side, if no good offers were made. “Mark my words, if I don’t get a good deal, we go alone,” Kaabi said in an interview at his office in Doha. Qatar announced on December 3 that it would leave OPEC in the new year, after 57 years of membership. Citing industry sources, Reuters news agency reported that Kaabi was concerned that membership of the body could be a stumbling block for QP’s ambitions in the US, where it has one of the world’s biggest LNG terminal
