              RIVALS MORE MOTIVATED WHEN FACING MADRID, SAYS ZIDANE
      Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane believes opponents raise their game when facing the European champions after suffering a shock defeat to Valencia in midweek.

Madrid spurned the chance to extend their one-point lead over Barcelona at the top of the table as they conceded twice to a Valencia side languishing in the bottom half of the table in the opening eight minutes to lose 2-1 at Mestalla on Wednesday.

"We always have to improve because it is a long season and for every team we play it is their match of the year," said the Frenchman on Saturday.

"Playing Real Madrid is an extra motivation for them and we have to bear that in mind."

Zidane's men face an even stiffer test on Sunday when they travel to sixth-placed Villarreal, who have conceded just 15 times in 23 La Liga games this season.

"The fact we are facing the team that has conceded the fewest goals in the league will be even more difficult," added Zidane.

"We know they are a very good team, defensively organised and who defend as a unit.

"It is good to play tomorrow after Wednesday because we have the chance to get back to winning ways."

Zidane could hand a first start to Welsh winger Gareth Bale in three months at the Ceramic Stadium.

Bale made an instant impact as a substitute on his return from ankle ligament damage with Real's second goal in a 2-0 win over Espanyol last weekend.

However, he was less effective when introduced for the final 30 minutes at Mestalla.

"He is 100 percent," said Zidane. "He has been fully training with us for several days."

French defender Raphael Varane is Madrid's only injury absentee, so Pepe or Nacho will partner Sergio Ramos in the heart of the defence.

By Wale Odunsi on February 25, 2017

        State Houses of Assembly Speakers have described President Muhammadu Buhari and Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo as a good combination of leaders.

       They commended Buhari for transmitting power to Osinbajo before he embarked on medical vacation to the United Kingdom, saying his action was in strict adherence to the provisions of the country’s constitution.

       The Speakers also hailed Professor Osinbajo on the way and manner he has since handled the affairs of the nation.

       This was contained in a communique issued yesterday after their meeting in Abuja.

NIGERIA EXPECTS N1bn DOLLAR INTERVENTION FUND FOR NORTH-EAST – ZORRO

Vanguard News / Tony / 2 hours ago

Mr Sani Zorro, Chairman, House Committee on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), has called for transparency and accountability as Nigeria expects one billion dollars humanitarian intervention fund from international donors.

Zorro made the call on Friday in an interview with newsmen in Abuja on Friday.

According to him, the Nigerian delegation is currently participating in the Global Donor Conference for member countries of the Lake Chad Basin in Oslo, Norway.

Zorro said with the magnitude of the North-East humanitarian crises, which was of global knowledge, “it is an open book that the IDPs and returning refugees need desperate protection and assistance”.

He said that “we should be hopeful for a fruitful deliberation for a one billion dollar intervention fund to scale up the humanitarian assistance in the North-East”.

Zorro said that the funds, when obtained, should be judiciously spent in assisting the vulnerable persons.

“We do hope that Nigeria will be able to generate such intervention as well as resources both in cash and kind because the situation in the North-East is really severe and very dire.

“The Nigerian crises is well known to the global community and we have had sympathisers who include quite a lot of International NGOs that are active in Nigeria, especially in the North-East.

“We at the National Assembly therefore insist that principles of accountability as well as transparency must be respected at all times as all these interventions from foreign counties are not properly tracked.

“Since they are not captured in the Appropriation Act, we as legislators,  in the exercise of our mandate to oversight the executive arm, are unable to track them properly.

“We will continue to insist that best practices are applied when it comes to disbursing and tracking these interventions because they need to be monitored and evaluated properly,’’ Zoro said.

Zorro commended the efforts of the National Emergency Management Agency and the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and IDPs for doing their  best even in the face of dwindling resources

He said that in spite of donor fatigue, “there is optimism for more donor funds which Nigeria will solicit for during the Syrian global conference scheduled to hold in April.”

The legislator explained that the United Nations, also a  participant at the conference, should be able to solicit assistance on behalf of Nigeria.

Zorro said that the UN was in the best position to do an advocacy on behalf of Nigerian IDPs.

BIBLE TEACHING

            BOLD AS A LION:
"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. Proverbs 28:1"

Devotion : The scripture has given a comparison between the wicked and the righteous. Christians who are the righteousness of God are to be conscious of who Christ Jesus has made them. They are also to know who Christ Jesus has made the wicked. Jesus Christ has made the righteous as bold as the lion but the wicked to flee when no one is pursuing them. The Christian should never be afraid of the wicked in society because deep inside the wicked is a greater fear to flee from the righteous. Dear beloved, do you feel afraid sometimes? If you do keep declaring, "I am as bold as the lion" and that fear will disappear. Kindly write your views in the comment box.
