<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Gatlin who endured successive boos from the crowd both in his heat and semi final race, because of his past doping offences, finished ahead of Bolt and Coleman, in a surprising end to the major highlight of the night. He returned a time of 9.92 seconds.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Coleman, who had beaten Bolt in the semi-final race earlier in the day, re-enacted the feat, beating the Jamaican, who had dominated the race for nine years. He also returned a time of 9.94 ahead of Bolt’s 9.95 seconds.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“The
voice of the people is the voice of God”, says the popular adage. This no doubt
has over the years proved to be very true. This voice can either be that of
blacks or whites, majority or minority, or the voice for or against a motion.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In
a democratic society, the voice of the majority is often generally believed to
be the voice of God whispered via the ballot box. This scenario though is one
that has raised many questions still longing for answers. This is because discerning
the voice of God between the voice of the majority and that of the minority is
often a difficult task.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
majority must always have their way amidst the opinions of the minority which
is often ignored. Majority and minority groups exist in every democratic
society. They exists either on ethnic, political party, religious, racial or
opinion lines.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Politics
in Nigeria over the years has been one beclouded by sentiments and bias on all
sort. Little wonder why everything is believed to be taking a turn from good to
bad and gradually from bad to worst. Ethno-religious partisan politics take the
place of objectivity, truth, fairness and accountability. Singing the praise of
ills and wrongdoings for favors substitute objective and constructive
criticisms. How then can the voice of the people portrayed as the majority be
the voice of God amidst the aforementioned evens, when He (God) can also speak
through the minority as well?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However,
continuous lingering of ethno-religious sentiments as part of politicking
within the country will be of no resort as it will ensure the country remains
stagnated in virtually all areas. A foundation wrongly laid will lead to a
collapsed system. A look away from the general activities of individuals into
that of the various political parties accounts for nothing quite different as
most of them to this dark path.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In
the words of John Mason, “majority rule is not always right”. Why? You may be
forced to ask. Always remember that the general outcome of elections is not
solely the end product reflected via the ballot box, but the summation of all
the various stages of the electioneering process summed up together. The
antecedence in all electioneering process which climax into the emergence of a
four years single term of an administration begins with intra-party activities
from the declaration of interest by various aspirants to party primaries. If
the choice of flag bearers by political parties are hastily or carefully done
in a biased way, the electorate will be presented with no alternative than
making a difficult decision of choosing between “the beast” and “the devil”,
rather than choosing between “between” and “the beast”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bias
and sentiments of all sorts must be totally eliminated or reduced to the barest
minimum within political parties and the entirety of politicking within the
country. This will not just ameliorate intra and inter party activities, but
will also help improve the outcome of elections. Intra-party activities to a
large extent influence the general outcome of elections as it serves as the
building block upon which electoral decisions are made.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
voice of the people will always remain the voice of God. But we must let Him
speak rightly through us and not speaking for Him out of our own selfish
desires. A society devoid of ethno-religious sentiments will not just aid the
right choice of leaders, but also enhance growth and development in all
ramifications. It is appalling to come to terms with the fact that we look at
the developed nations and applaud the way in which they do ordinary things in
extraordinary ways, but we fail to follow in such light. If things must get
better, we must desist from doing things the same old way that yielded little
positive result, because doing things the same way will yield the same result.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Quit
saying “he/she is not my tribe/religion”, rather choose to ask “is he/she the
right person for the job?” To move ahead and stay ahead we must keep aside all
forms of sentiments, focus on what is right, do what is right and go for what
is right at all place and at all times. Development doesn’t fall from the sky;
it comes along with our decisions and action. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A family source told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that Agugu committed the crime at his Kisaghyip village farm in Bassa Local Government Area of Plateau.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The source said that Agugu, after killing his mother, removed the sum of N20,000 from her blood-sucked clothes and used it to buy a mobile phone, a shirt and a pair of slippers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“When I was 14 years old, my late father, who was a native doctor, showed me a charm that enabled him to disappear and reappear at will. He promised to handover the charm to me when I turn 18.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“On his dying bed four years ago, he gave my mother the charm and asked her to give me when I turn 18. But I am now 18 and she has refused to give it to me.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The notification was made Friday, with the <span style="box-sizing: border-box;">UN  Secretary-General António Guterres  appealing  to the U.S. to reconsider its action, in the interest of humanity.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">President Donald Trump had announced on June 1, 2017 that the U.S. would leave the agreement.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Spokesman for the Secretary-General, Mr Stéphane Dujarric, confirmed that Guterres received, “in his capacity as Depositary of the Paris Agreement, a communication from the Permanent Representative of the United States of America”.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Secretary General, however, welcomed  any effort to re-engage in the Paris Agreement by the United States.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dujarric said the communication expressed “the intention of the United States to exercise its right to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, as soon as it is eligible to do so under the Agreement, unless it identifies suitable terms for re-engagement”.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Guterres stressed his statement on June 1, 2017 that the decision by the United States to withdraw from the Paris Agreement is a major disappointment for global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote global security.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“He looks forward to engaging with the American government and all other actors in the United States and around the world to build the sustainable future for our children and future generations,” Guterres said.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Under article 28 of the Paris Agreement, a Party may withdraw at any time after three years from the date on which the Agreement has entered into force for that Party, and such withdrawal takes effect upon expiry of one year from the date of receipt by the Depositary of the notification of withdrawal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The United States accepted the Paris Agreement on Sept. 3, 2016 and the Agreement entered into force for the United States on Nov. 4, 2016.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Secretary-General would circulate the text of this communication as a depositary notification, in English and French, early next week.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The U.S. Department of State, in a statement, confirmed “the United States submitted a communication to the United Nations, in its capacity as depositary for the Paris Agreement, regarding the U.S. intent to withdraw from the Paris Agreement as soon as it is eligible to do so, consistent with the terms of the Agreement”.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“As the President indicated in his June 1 announcement and subsequently, he is open to re-engaging in the Paris Agreement if the United States can identify terms that are more favorable to it, its businesses, its workers, its people, and its taxpayers.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“The United States supports a balanced approach to climate policy that lowers emissions while promoting economic growth and ensuring energy security.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“We will continue to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions through innovation and technology breakthroughs, and work with other countries to help them access and use fossil fuels more cleanly and efficiently and deploy renewable and other clean energy sources, given the importance of energy access and security in many nationally determined contributions.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“The United States will continue to participate in international climate change negotiations and meetings, including the 23rd Conference of the Parties (COP-23) of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, to protect U.S. interests and ensure all future policy options remain open to the administration.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For PSG however, the first day hiccup is not a total disappointment as  the French club have already clawed back around a million euros on their world record investment, after selling a staggering 10,000 shirts bearing the Brazilian’s name in just one day. Each shirt was sold for 100 euro.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rwandan President Paul Kagame has won  a third term in office, garnering a whopping 98 percent of votes counted, according to partial results released today.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There had been little doubt that the 59-year-old would return to the helm of the east African nation which he has ruled with an iron fist since the end of the 1994 genocide.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With 80 percent of results counted, Kagame had secured some 5.4 million votes, far more than the 50 percent plus one required for him to win re-election.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“We think that at this level … it will be the same result, no change after having counted 100 percent (of votes),” said national elections commission chairman Kalisa Mbanda. Full provisional results will come through later Saturday.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The commission estimates 97 percent of 6.9 million voters turned out to cast their ballots.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of the results tallied, Kagame had 98.66 percent — a figure which could still shift slightly — while his two little-known rivals barely made a dent.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party — the only permitted critical opposition party — won 0.45 percent of votes and independent candidate Philippe Mpayimana scored 0.72.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Around the country Rwandans gathered to hear the results, with some celebrating an early win for Kagame. At a gymnasium in the capital loud music blared and traditional dancers took to the floor to entertain several hundred people.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Kagame has been the de-facto leader of Rwanda since, as a 36-year-old, his rebel army routed extremist Hutu forces who slaughtered an estimated 800,000 people — mainly minority Tutsis — and seized Kigali in 1994.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The lanky former guerrilla fighter is one of Africa’s most divisive leaders, with some hailing him as a visionary while critics see a despot aiming to become one of the continent’s presidents-for-life.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Neymar was unveiled as a Paris Saint-Germain player on Friday and he thereafter said he had left Barcelona not for money but a “bigger challenge” in France.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The 25-year-old Brazilian superstar flew into Le Bourget airport, north-east of Paris, in a private jet on Friday morning before heading into the city in a motorcade.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He was presented to the international media at PSG’s Parc des Princes stadium just after 1:30pm (1130 GMT) in his first public appearance since buying out his contract at Barcelona for a world-record 222 million euros ($264 million) on Thursday.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I want something bigger, a greater challenge. I am here to give my best and help the club win titles,” said Neymar, who has signed a five-year contract with the Qatar-owned club expected to be worth 30 million euros net per year.</span></div>
<div class="line textcontent_img watermark" style="backface-visibility: hidden !important; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #181818; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">He insisted he had come to France “for the ambition of the club, which is very similar to mine.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But Neymar admitted that leaving Barcelona, where he formed part of a lethal attacking trio with Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, was not a decision he took lightly.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“It was one of my most difficult decisions. In Barcelona I had adapted well to the city and the team. I had friends there and it has not been easy,” he said.</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“It was a tense time, thinking about what I should do in my life. I have left behind a lot of friends, but things go very fast in football.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Neymar will be presented to the PSG support on Saturday prior to his new team’s first game of the Ligue 1 season against promoted Amiens.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A ceremony will begin from 3:45pm (1345 GMT) with the kick-off put back quarter of an hour to 5:15pm to allow extra time for the player’s unveiling before an expected sell-out crowd of more than 45,000.</span></div>
<div class="line textcontent_img watermark" style="backface-visibility: hidden !important; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #181818; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Neymar got a taste of what is to come when he stepped outside the Parc des Princes on Friday in his new team’s kit, to be greeted by hundreds of ecstatic supporters.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Neymar, whose last game for Barcelona was in a friendly against bitter rivals Real Madrid last weekend in Miami, insisted he is ready to make his debut against Amiens.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“I always want to play, so I am ready to do so tomorrow. I have trained in pre-season. I stopped for two days, but I am ready, I’ve seen the pitch and I want to put the PSG shirt on and play,” he said.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Thursday, the French league’s governing body, the LFP, said it would work to ensure Neymar’s contract was ratified “as soon as possible”.</span></div>
<div class="line textcontent_img watermark" style="backface-visibility: hidden !important; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #181818; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At 30 million euros a year, that contract will make Neymar the second highest-paid player in the world — behind Carlos Tevez and his 38 million euros a year at Shanghai Shenhua in China but ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo’s 23.6 million euros annual salary at Real Madrid.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The transfer fee shatters the previous world record of 105 million euros set by Manchester United in signing France midfielder Paul Pogba last year from Juventus.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is an eye-watering sum, but one that PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi insisted will eventually look like a bargain for the player who came third in the Ballon d’Or in 2015 behind Messi and Ronaldo.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“There are not two Neymars in the world. I would love for us to meet in two years and see what his value will be compared to today. At least the double,” said Al-Khelaifi.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #212121; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 30px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is scepticism at the role played by PSG’s owners Oryx Qatar Sports Investments (QSI) at a time of political crisis for the energy-rich state which has been boycotted by its Gulf neighbours in recent months and will play host to the World Cup in 2022.</span></div>
