Champions League: Messi, Suarez, Pique hold secret meeting after 4-0 loss to Liverpool

By
Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Gerard Pique have reportedly held secret meeting regarding Barcelona’s state after their Champions League exit last night, according to Diario Gol.
The trio are the most senior players at Barcelona.
Barca manager, Ernesto Valverde’s hopes of winning the UEFA Champions League came crashing last night for a second season on the bounce in similar fashion like the first.
Barca surrendered a three goal lead from the first leg contested at their home ground only to be mauled in the second leg.
In the 2017/18 season, it was an absolute debacle in Rome while this time out, Liverpool bullied the skin out of Ernesto Valverde’s man.
Valverde has taken the full blame for the defeat and has said that he remains unsure of his future.
His man management and tactics have been heavily criticized of late.

Ernesto Valverde’s favouritism of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ivan Rakitic has hampered the chances of several players at Catalonia and the better preferred players’ fatigue starts to show at the business end of the campaign- similar to last year.
Upon hearing the thoughts of their manager, Messi, Suarez and Pique held a meeting and decided to prevent Valverde’s departure.
The players agreed that Barca must win the Copa del Rey for the manager to remain.
Barcelona have already won the league and now have a date with Valencia in the Benito Villamarin at Seville for the Copa del Rey.
The match to be contested on the 25th of May will be a do or die game for Valverde.
The three players, according to the report, agreed that should Barcelona lose that, nothing will prevent Barcelona’s board from firing Valverde.

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
