Legendary Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, has claimed that the team’s 1-0 win at West Ham might have decided the Premier League title winners.

The Gunners claimed a narrow win at the London Stadium, thanks to a late Leandro Trossard goal.

Having played a game more, Mikel Arteta’s men are five points clear of Manchester City.

Wenger, speaking on beinSPORTS, hailed Arsenal’s defensive stability and resilience.

He said: “It was a difficult game, in the end it was very tense.

“Once again, it is the defence who did their job, like most of the time.

“This could be a decider for the championship.”

EPL: West Ham vs Arsenal might have decided title winners – Wenger

Ilebaye Odiniya’s father is Hon. Emmanuel Odiniya (or Emmanuel Godson Odiniya), an Abuja-based politician and former Physical Health Education teacher from Kogi State

“Ilebaye’s issue started after she left the Big Brother house. I want to put the record straight that what led to the incident wasn’t that I didn’t love my daughter, and she’s one of my best child.

If you take records to the days back, you will know she attended one of the best schools. That is to let you know how much I love her.

During her time on BBNaija, I contributed a lot and stood by my daughter, and made sure people voted for her massively. After she successfully came out and won, she changed.

Ilebaye stopped listening to me. I will book her 5 to 6 times in a week and she wouldn’t give me audience. I saw a lot of things going wrong with her. She doesn’t want to listen to anyone again, to the extent that her mother disowned her at some point.

I told my daughter the nature of friends she’s making doesn’t align with our culture, but my daughter still wouldn’t listen. My daughter will go and beautify her face, a child of 24/25, go for surgery to beautify her face and b&mbu&m.

Each time I complain, problem will come and she will start insulting me, but I kept swallowing it. To a certain time, I couldn’t bear it any longer. I forced her to sit with me so I can caution her because she’s disappointing me too much.

My daughter will insult to the extent that she will ask me, ‘Who am I? Am I a father?’ One day she took AC anger and h!t me with it till blood started gushing out of my body. Instead of her to run away, my daughter will face me as if she wants to beat me. That was why I was provoked, and determined I wouldn’t let it slide this time.

Even if I need help, my daughter will never assist me. The most recent one I was not happy about was when I was supposed to go for medical check-up in Dubai.

I told my daughter to borrow me money and that when I get back, I will pay her back. My daughter told me she doesn’t have, but a week before that, she went to one of her colleague’s wedding, whom they call Cross, to spend bundles.

And again, the way she was going with one of my sons I have two sons, one is 14 and the other is 10, she adulterated the one of 14 with substance. I cried when the principal expelled him from school. I’m pleading with everyone to put me in prayers so Ilebaye can change for good…”

Barcelona have been confirmed as this season’s LaLiga champions, following a comfortable 2-0 win over Real Madrid on Sunday.

Hansi Flick’s men were already 11 points clear of their bitter rivals at kick off.

And they blew Los Blancos away in a sensational opening half at the Camp Nou.

Marcus Rashford opened the scoring with a sublime free-kick, before Ferran Torres fired in a second.

Madrid tried to fight back in the second half, but there were no goals.

The result takes Barcelona up to 91 points and they cannot be caught by Alvaro Arbeloa’s men who stay on 77 points.

It is a 29th title for the Catalans, who successfully defend their title.

The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ajibola Bashiru, says there is no official report yet from the party’s screening committee following questions over whether Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has been screened.

Responding to journalists on Sunday, Bashiru said appearing before the screening committee is simply part of the process and that the committee will only release its report after meeting all those expected to appear before it.

“I don’t know what you mean by screening. It appears that anybody that appears before the APC screening committee, of course, it is necessary as part of the process,” Bashiru said.

He added, “After appearing before the screening committee, the screening committee will issue its report. As at now, when it has seen everyone it is supposed to see, we will now sit down and come up with the report of the screening committee.”

Bashiru stressed that no conclusion should be drawn yet, saying, “As at now, there is no report of screening.”
