.Argentine soccer legend, Diego Maradona has been appointed coach of Mexican second division team Dorados.

The club issued a short video on their social media channels with the messages ‘Welcome Diego’, and ‘Make it a 10’, the Argentina great’s shirt number as a player. Although Dorados, who are based in Sinaloa state in northwest Mexico, gave no further details, Mexican newspapers said Maradona had been hired to replace Francisco Gamez.  

Dorados fired Gamez earlier on Thursday after a poor start to the season that brought three points out of a possible 15. They are 13th in the 15-team league, joint bottom of the table. The 57-year-old former Barcelona and Napoli forward is considered one of the greatest players of all time after a career that peaked in 1986 when he captained Argentina to their second and last World Cup title.  

Maradona previously had short stints coaching clubs in Argentina and the United Arab Emirates but his longest spell in charge was with Argentina, who he led at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He will be presented by Dorados this weekend and will debut as coach on Sept. 15 when the club faces Cafetaleros de Tapachula.

The national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in company of some members of the National Assembly and national leader of the party Bola Tinubu, is set to meet a former governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, in his Mundubawa residence in Kano on Friday.

A terse statement posted by Salihu Tanko Yakasai, the spokesman for the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, said the governor will lead the top leaders of the party to Mr Shekarau’s residence.

DAILY NIGERIAN gathered that the meeting, which is part of his pre-defection conditions, was organised at the instance of Mr Shekarau in order to hype up his exit and show his political relevance.

In a text message sent to Shekarau Reintegration Committee by Ubale Jakada Kiru, the meeting will hold at Zainab Hall within the former governor’s residence at 10am.

Sule Yau Sule, Mr Shekarau’s spokesman, on Thursday night told DAILY NIGERIAN that the former governor will take final decision on his political future on Saturday.

The chairman of APC in Kano, Abdullahi Abbas, on Wednesday said the return of Mr Shekarau to the party “was a testimony that the ruling party remained the most peaceful platform where politicians irrespective of their status and background could actualize their political aspirations without impunity, injustice and imposition.”

Knificent.blogspot.com .




Boris Johnson and his wife of 25 years have split after she accused him of being unfaithful to her again.

The ex-Foreign Secretary and his lawyer wife, both 54, are now living apart and no longer socialise as a couple, The Sun reveals.

The couple's marriage has been rocked previously by his flings with other women. Sources close to couple say Marina kicked out Boris over fresh allegations he had been cheating with another woman.

Marina has thrown the father of her four children out twice before. The first time was in 2004 over his four-year affair with the writer Petronella Wyatt, and then again in 2010 when he was suspected of having a lovechild with art consultant Helen Macintyre.

Boris’ daughter, fashion journalist Lara, 25, has claimed her mother “will never take him back”.

She is understood to have been overheard exploding with rage at her philandering dad and told pals at a party he “is a selfish bastard”. 

She also insisted to one friend: “Mum is finished with him. She will never take him back now.”

Knificent.blogspot.com .


Over 3,700 card readers have been destroyed by flood at the Edo State headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), prompting the commission to consider relocating the state headquarters.

According to The Nation, workers usually had to scamper for safety whenever there is heavy downpour. This has been the situation for three weeks. Abubakar Nahuche, Chairman, INEC Standing Committee on Estate and Works, who spoke after the recent damage was assessed, noted that several electoral materials were destroyed.  

According to him, Information Communication Technology equipment was also damaged. However, he said the incident would not affect the commission’s preparation for the 2019 elections.  He appealed to state government to address the issue of flooding in Ikpoba-Hill area, where the state headquarters is located.  

Emmanuel Alex-Hart, Edo Resident Electoral Commissioner, who spoke on the incident, said: 'the flooding has paralysed activities at the INEC headquarters in Edo. Where the office is situated is a valley and when it rains, you have surface run-off of water from all the areas to that place'.

Ezekwesili Hits FG For 'deliberately Corrupting Osun Voters' With N10k Loan - Politics -

Knificent.blogspot.com .

Oby Ezekwesili, former Minister of Education and co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) movement, has accused the Federal Government of "deliberately corrupting the elections in Osun" by launching the Trader Moni venture in the state three weeks before its scheduled governorship elections.
In a widely publicised event, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, on September 3, 2018, had launched the programme, which targeted 30,000 traders in Osun.
According to information from the programme's Twitter handle, Trader Moni is a "Federal Government empowerment scheme to help alleviate poverty in Nigeria by empowering traders and artisans".
The Federal Government budgeted N300,000,000 to "empower" traders in Osun, and the loan is expected to be repaid within six months, after which the traders can access higher amounts.
However, Ezekwesili berated the timing of the launch in Osun, stating that "such behaviour after the grand corrupting of voters in Ekiti is reprehensible".
SahareReporters had reported that for traders to access the N10,000 loan, they had to provide evidence of having registered for the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). http://saharareporters.com/2018/09/07/ezekwesili-hits-fg-deliberately-corrupting-osun-voters-n10000-business-loan

3 Symptoms To Detect A Bad Or Failing Engine Mount - Car Talk

Knificent.blogspot.com .

The function of the engine mount is to properly secure the car engine to the body of the car. There are different kinds of engine mounts depending on which car it's going to be used on. However, they all perform the same function – securing the engine to the chassis.

The engine mount comprises of metal and rubber as seen in the picture below.

When there is problem with your car engine mount, the vibrations and forces coming from the engine will be directly dealing with your car. When this happens, it would be very noticeable as you use your car.


Below are the symptoms to detect a bad or failing engine mount.

1. Engine vibration:
As said earlier, when the rubber that is meant to absorb or dampen the engine goes bad, the engine will vibrate excessively.
This vibration will distribute significantly throughout the body of the car. All these will make it very uncomfortable for the driver and passengers.

2. There would be engine movement:
With a good working engine mount, the engine should be secured to the chassis of your car. When the mount goes bad, the engine will tend to move back and forth.
This movement will be well pronounced during acceleration.

3. Noise from the engine bay:
Expect to hear various noises coming from the engine bay when the engine mount goes bad.
The noises you hear are as a result of the engine shifting and weights to the point of contact.

Are there other symptoms you noticed when the engine mount of your car went bad? Kindly tell us in the comment section.
