HELLO

The office of the National Security Adviser and the Ministry of Finance gave full approval for the purchase of N255 million two armoured cars for aviation minister, Stella Oduah; but both offices were misled by Coscharis Motors, the supplier of the cars, into believing the cars were meant for last year’s National sports festival in Lagos. While the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, approved the importation of the security vehicles and issued the End User certificate without knowing they were meant for Ms Oduah; finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, approved a huge waiver of import charges totalling N10.1 million.

A pinball in central midfield ended with Willian punting down-field over a back-tracking Matija Nastasic , the centre half panicking and nodding back and over an on-rushing  Joe Hart . There was Torres, sprinting beyond the visitors’ confused last line of defence and away from Martín Demichelis, to convert into the gaping net. A man who has endured plenty of wretched luck in front of goal had his good fortune at last. This was a first Premier League goal of the season, and only a second of the calen...
