Manchester City's Vincent Kompany lifts the Premier League Trophy

Manchester City captain reflects on his side's incredible Premier League title triumph

Vincent Kompany labelled his team's Premier League title on Sunday as his most satisfying title success.

The Manchester City captain lifted the Premier League Trophy for a fourth time as his side edged out Liverpool by a point in a thrilling race for the title.

After scoring the decisive goal in their previous match against Leicester City, Kompany played 86 minutes of City's 4-1 final-day win over Brighton & Hove Albion, which sealed a memorable season.

"It was the hardest and most satisfying Premier League title win ever," Kompany told City's official website.

"Liverpool were exceptional this year and I don't mean to rub it in - it is what it is - they didn't deserve to be second this year, but it only makes me that much more happy that we've been up against such a good team and when our backs were against the wall we kept finding the results.

"We won at the Etihad against Liverpool and that made the difference and once we got our noses in front, we were able to stay in front - I'm so happy for myself, the team and our fans."

Kompany added the success was made all the more sweet by the relentless manner that led them to the top.

"We had so many clean sheets in the run-in - it was ridiculous - and won our last 14 games.

"I'm so proud of the guys because when we had to dig deep and defend and win 1-0, we did it again and again."

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

“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
