A
stunning free kick scored by Manchester United striker Marcos Rashford in the
second half of Thursday Europa League semi-final first leg was enough to
give the English side a required 1-0 away win to Celta Vigo.The first
half saw Manchester United close Celta down in the middle of the park so the
Spanish outfit was unable to play their usual open football.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 2.25pt 11.25pt;">
Presented with the physical challenge of a
midfield containing Ander Herrera, Paul Pogba and Marouane Felaini, Celta were
reduced to shots from outside of the United area, with Sergio Romero
comfortably saving the only effort on target.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 2.25pt 11.25pt;">
At the other end, Sergio Alvarez was Celta's
hero, with the home keeper at full stretch to keep out a curling effort from
Marcos Rashford, before stopping a one-on-one chance from winger Henrikh
Mikhitaryan and a close range effort from Jose Lingard as United looked to make
Celta suffer on the break.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 2.25pt 11.25pt;">
Celta were more in the game after the break,
pushing Manchester United back and Sisto produced a good save from Romero after
64 minutes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 2.25pt 11.25pt;">
However, just a couple of minutes later Rashford
scored with a direct free kick to put the visitors ahead. It's possible that
Alvarez was expecting the left footed Daily Blind to take the free kick and the
Celta keeper was slightly out of position as the youngster's effort went in at
the far post.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div style="background: white; margin: 0in 2.25pt 11.25pt;">
The only chance Celta had after the goal was an
effort from Iago Aspes which went wide of the target as United closed the game
down, while hoping on the slim win as they host the Spanish clubs next week for
the return leg at Old Trafford. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white;">Smile of victory has finally filled the face of President Donald Trump of United State of America as the House today voted to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, also known as the ObamaCare. Read the report from CNN below...</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The bill now heads to the Senate where it faces daunting challenges because of the same ideological splits between conservative and moderate Republicans that nearly killed it in the House.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Trump said he is confident the bill will pass the Senate, calling Obamacare "essentially dead."<br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a>"This is a great plan. I actually think it will get even better. This is a repeal and replace of Obamacare. Make no mistake about it," Trump said at a celebratory White House appearance with House Republicans.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">After a dramatic week of negotiations, lobbying from Trump and Republican leaders, the vote ended with 217 GOP lawmakers backing the measure. Twenty Republicans opposed it, as did all House Democrats.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Democrats were unable to stop the GOP vote aimed at President Barack Obama's signature legislative achievement. But after the final vote was cast, they chanted "nah nah nah nah hey hey hey goodbye" to their Republican colleagues, with a few members waving, as they believe the vote will lead to many GOP lawmakers losing their seats in the November 2018 midterms.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background-color: white;">
<div class="zn-body__paragraph">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thursday marks a political milestone -- one that has painfully eluded Trump and House leaders for months. The controversial health care bill delivered Trump the biggest political defeat of his short presidency in March, when the legislation had to be yanked from the House floor because it simply didn't have enough support.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">But being told, “You’re fat,” “You’re ugly” or “You’re just not good enough,” and trying to live in these model standards, that was my normal. I think I hit bottom around 18. I was disgusted with myself and told my mom I was coming home. And she told me, “No, you’re not, because you told me that this was what you wanted and I know you’re supposed to do this. It doesn’t matter what you think about your body, because your body is supposed to change somebody’s life.” To this day that sticks with me because I’m here today and I feel that it’s okay to have cellulite."</span></span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">"I remember my first signs of cellulite, in middle school. I remember telling my mom, “Isn’t it disgusting? It’s so ugly.” She pulled her pants down and said, “Look, I have it, too.” And I was like, “Gasp!” She looked at me, then at it, and just rolled her eyes. She didn’t tell me that it’s beautiful or ugly. She just made it a nonissue. It doesn’t define my worth. If women like you and me continue to preach that, then I feel like younger girls are going to grasp it and they’re going to be like, “Who cares!” "</span></span></blockquote>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He further said “Jakura
Day is a day that has been conceived many years ago and it is all about
showcasing the cultural heritage of the people, the value and virtues of the
front bearer of the community and resuscitate the fading culture of the great
people of Jakura.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

are known for hard work, hospitality, rich cultural heritage like Ihunale festival,
(mainly for women), Ofosi, Agbelege, Are Egbe, Okura, Are Ode (for hunters)
etc. while noting that the display of masquerade during the celebration is
mainly for entertainment, as it was believed in the past that people disguise
with masks to confront demonic powers so as to change their identity, it was
believed that masquerade has supernatural power that ordinary people do not
pose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He maintained that “Jakura
community is known for its delicacy of pounded yam and the major occupation of
my people is farming. In the whole of Oworo land, Jakura stands tall in
farming. We farm yam, cassava, melon, beans, guinea corn, maize and even rice”.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">While noting that, due
to bad road network in the community, the people find it challenging to
transport their produce to the market, the traditional ruler also disclosed
that the area was currently experiencing poor mobile communication service,
security challenges and lack of power supply. 
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">In a similar manner, the
Olu of Oworo, HRM Mall, Muhammed Adoga Baiyerohi congratulated the people of
Jakura community over the celebration of their day noting that it signifies
unity, passion and love the people they have for their cultural heritage and
themselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Olu of Oworo who
expressed his fulfillment towards the occasion said “it gives me joy to watch my
people display the core tradition of the land which was made manifest through
various cultural and masquerade dance, traditional songs by groups, children, the
aged and the various performances by local drummers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He further lauded the
organizers, the people of the community for trooping out in their numbers to
make the occasion colorful adding that the gesture was a clear testimony of the
respect they have for the traditional rulers and above all for their tradition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The chairman of the
day, HRM. Oba Frederick (JP), Olu of Apata-Ipatun, who was represented by

need to diversify the economy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Olu of Apata-Ipatun
enjoyed the people of the land to be proactive to the development of the land by
cherishing and promoting their cultural heritage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Speaking at the
occasion, the National president of Jakura Development Association (JDA), Engr.
Titus Samuel Adoga expressed his gratitude to everyone that graced the occasion
while noting that the people of Jakura are born great, born into royalty,
endowed with rich cultural heritage and blessed with vast land for economic
development.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">He further laid
emphases on the fact that vast portion of the lands were yet to be developed,
urging all stakeholders to make efforts towards developing and giving the
community a face lift. Areas that require attention as mentioned by the
president are provision of boreholes, good roads, basic health facilities,
schools, town halls and as well cultivate the rich soil as farming stands their
