US Congress moves to overturn visa ban for Nigeria and other countries

The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, criticized President Donald Trump on Saturday, February 1, for adding Nigeria and five other countries to the US travel ban list. Pelosi denounced the expansion of the travel ban list by the Trump Administration, stating that it is outrageous and poses a threat to security, values, and the rule of law in the United States. In response, Pelosi announced that the House will pass a "no ban act" aimed at prohibiting religious discrimination in the American immigration system and limiting the President’s authority to impose biased and bigoted restrictions, which she deemed as harmful. Pelosi's statement expressed her concerns, stating, "The Trump Administration’s expansion of its outrageous, un-American travel ba...

Rapper sentenced to 99 years in prison for paying hitman to murder his mum so he could have access to her accounts

The Chicago rapper known as "Young QC" has been sentenced to 99 years in prison for hiring a hitman to murder his own mother. The motive behind the murder was to gain access to his mother's bank accounts and life insurance. The hitman, Eugene Spencer, was also convicted and received a 100-year prison sentence. Qaw’mane Wilson, the rapper, was convicted for the murder-for-hire conspiracy that took place in 2012.

Manchester United’s “desperate” signing of Odion Ighalo slammed by Gary Neville

Manchester United's last-minute signing of Odion Ighalo on the closing day of the January transfer window has drawn criticism from football pundit Gary Neville. The decision to bring in Ighalo was unexpected, especially with the absence of a high-profile replacement for the injured Marcus Rashford, who was sidelined with a back injury.   On the final day of the transfer window, United pursued Bournemouth's Joshua King, although the attempt was unsuccessful. Subsequently, enquires were made for Danny Ings and Teemu Pukki, only to be turned down. The club eventually settled for former Watford striker Odion Ighalo.   In Neville's view, United's failure to secure a striker during the summer transfer window, despite the obvious need, reflects poor planning and urgency in their deadline da...
