Russia has closed down an American British school run by America in Moscow, according to foreign media reports. Recent expulsions of 35 Russian diplomats from the Russian embassy in Washington were carried out as the US blames Russia for hacking and interfering in the US elections. However, Russia has vowed to react to this recent development, denying any hacking involvement and describing the US action as ‘ungrounded’.The recent Shutdown of the American school is one of those reactions. Previously, the US President Barack Obama had vowed to take action against Russia, when the US accused Russia of cyber-attacks on the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Earlier in a report, a spokesman for President Vladimir Putin had said the Kremlin’s reaction would cause the US ‘significant discomfort’. The Russian foreign ministry has also said Russia’s response would be announced today. According to Reuters, the US actions taken  on Thursday  include; Th...

Andres Iniesta comes second, he won the award in 2012 and 2013. Toni Kroos wa...

The Manchester United attacker was asked what separates the Real Madrid star from Brazilian duo Ronaldo and Ronaldinho and he feels the difference is quite simple. Cristiano Ronaldo has earned his place among the greats, following in the footsteps of the Brazilian icon of the same name at Real Madrid, while the dazzling Barcelona legend Ronaldinho is impossible to ignore. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, however, has pinpointed the differences between the three legends. "I think Ronaldo, Il Fenomeno, was the best," he told ESPN Brasil. "For me, it was an example of what football is. Everything he did something that made you think 'wow'. The way he dribbled and the way he ran. "As for Cristiano Ronaldo, we did not play together. It is different because it is the result of hard training. It is not natural." Still in incredible form at 35, Ibrahimovic is far from finished with football and could have a few more years left in him, and even suggested he would...

Makhala Ramaela got a pair of pit bull dogs for protection after her house was burglarized several times. The 47-year-old from G Section in Botshabelo, South Africa, was last Saturday, viciously mauled by the same dogs. Makhala, who is recovering at Pelonomi Hospital in Bloemfontein, is puzzled by what made her beloved dogs turn against her. She said she had been living alone for a long time and thugs were terrorising her. Five years ago she decided to get the dogs. The dogs – a bitch named Siby and a male named Rex – eventually built a loving and protective relationship with her. "I managed to tame them and fed them every morning before work. My dogs loved me. I would find them peering over the devils’ fork waiting for me after work. They would jump with joy as I entered the yard," she said. But on Saturday the dogs attacked her viciously. "I was shocked and realised something was not right. I screamed for help as the dogs started to attack. I thought I could...

A High court sitting in Katsina State has sentenced 32 year old Mu’ammar Tukur, son of former House of Representatives member and District Head of Bakori, to death by hanging for culpable homicide. Tukur was dragged before the court for using a knife to stab one Shafir Muktar to death on April 21st 2008 during a fight between him and some other young men at a football viewing center. Delivering judgment in the case today, the presiding judge, Justice Abbas Bawale, said the argument put forward by the convict's counsel, AbdulAziz Olagoke, were unsustainable. Bawale ‎said that the accused went into hiding between 2008 and 2013 after committing the crime and was arrested at the grave yard during the funeral of his deceased mother. He added that Tukur's explanation that he was provoked to commit the crime was not satisfactory because he left the scene and came with the metallic instrument to commit the crime. The judge said the prosecution had proved the case beyond r...

A total number of 297,623 lines was added to Nigeria’s internet subscriber base in one month, courtesy of grandmasters of data, Globacom, which moved from 26,887,929 data customers in September to 27,185,552 in October. This was gleaned from telecom industry statistics published on the website of Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) which showed that Globacom was the only network that recorded an increase in its internet subscriber base in the month of October, 2016. On the contrary, MTN and Etisalat had their subscriber figures whittled down during the period, while Airtel did not record any increase in the month under review. Globacom’s increase in internet subscriber base has, therefore, reconfirmed its position as the number one company in Nigeria’s data market, thus living up to the payoff, “Grand masters of Data.” It will be recalled that Globacom became the first network to launch a nationwide rollout of the 4G LTE advanced network in October through which subscrib...
