Mikel rues “unlucky’’ Middlesborough’s missed chances

By
Nigeria and Middlesbrough midfielder Mikel Obi on Wednesday expressed his disappointment over Middlesbrough’s inability to convert their several goalscoring chances.

Middlesbrough struggled in front of goal as they failed to beat Bristol City in Tuesday’s

Championship clash at the Riverside Stadium. This was in spite of creating a lot of goalscoring

chances. Middlesbrough’s hopes of securing a playoff ticket consequently suffered a huge setback following a 0-1 loss to the visitors. Mikel was quoted as saying on the club’s website that

Middlesborough would have been out of sight with the first half chances that came their way. He had

added that it was a familiar story in the club. The 31-year-old signed for Middlesbrough in January on

a deal until the end of the season after leaving Chinese side Tianjin Teda as a free agent in December

 2018. “For the last three games, I don’t understand how some of our chances didn’t go in. It’s

unbelievable. Sometimes football is very cruel like that. “We come out to try and put in a good

performance and make sure we don’t disappoint the fans.

 “We keep getting these chances. The lads are doing everything possible so that we take the lead

when we’re on top, get one or two and then we can settle, but it’s just not coming. “We all sat there in the changing room scratching our heads after the game wondering how on earth we didn’t get a goal.

How did we not come away with something? How does one of those not go in? “We have done
everything but score. We’ve hit the woodwork had shots blocked on the line, hit the last defender…

whatever we do they are just not going in for us right now. “But we have to keep going,’’ he said.

NAN also reports that Middlesbrough is currently in the eighth position with 58 points from 39 games on the English Championship’s 24-club log

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
