Benteke scores again as Liverpool beats Sunderland 1-0

Liverpool's Christian Benteke, right, celebrates his goal during the English Premier League soccer match between Sunderland and Liverpool at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland, England, Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2015.

The striker pounced on a flicked pass from Adam Lallana to place a low finish into the bottom corner, just 22 seconds into the second half. Benteke earned Liverpool a 1-0 victory over Leicester on Saturday, too.

Liverpool climbed to seventh in the standings, tied for points with Manchester United but behind its great rival on goal difference, and five points off the top four with exactly half the season gone.
Sunderland stayed next to last with its fifth straight loss in December, and fell seven points from safety as recently hired manager Sam Allardyce struggles to turn around the fortunes of the perennial relegation contender. Sunderland's home game against last-place Aston Villa on Saturday assumes even greater significance.
It was Benteke's sixth goal in seven career games against Sunderland — more than he has scored against any other club — and another step in the right direction for a player who hasn't been a regular since joining from Aston Villa for 32.5 million pounds (then $50.7 million) in July.
"I came to Liverpool to try to score a lot of goals, I'm in good shape," said Benteke, who has six league goals this season. "I hope I can keep it up." Some have questioned whether the tall, imposing Benteke fits into the high-tempo, high-energy style of play favored by Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp, and he said this week that he has been told by the German coach to "run more."
Benteke prodded in a scrappy winner against Leicester on Saturday, but this one was more clinical, pouncing on Lallana's flick of Nathaniel Clyne's forward pass to find space behind Sunderland's defense and locate the far corner with a low finish. Lallana later acknowledged he didn't intend for the ball to reach Benteke.

South South Not Part Of The New Biafran Joke - Kokori

Chief Frank Kokori, a human rights activist and former labour union leader, has said the south-south is not part of the struggle for the creation of a Biafra Republic.
He condemned the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra for saying the south-south was a part of Biafra, The Punch reports.
Kokori was reacting to  that anybody who says that Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa and Cross River states were not part of Biafra was deceiving himself.
MASSOB said Biafra comprises all the states of the former eastern region, including the Anioma community in Delta state.
Kokori, who is an indigene of Delta state wondered how the south-south region could be part of the struggle for Biafra when most Igbo people had refused to abandon their businesses outside the south-east to join the Biafran agitation at home.
He said: “So, we in Delta State have never been part of Biafra. Anything that is Biafran today is purely in the South-East which does not include Rivers, Bayelsa , Cross River and Akwa Ibom.

“These states are not part of this new Biafran joke. To me, it is a joke. The Biafra of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu was a serious issue. What people like Ralph Uwazuruike of MASSOB and Nnamdi Kanu of IPOB are doing is trivialising the serious struggle of Ojukwu.
“They are not even serious; they don’t know what they want. What they want is not viable and so they are just trivialising. Is Biafra today possible with five landlocked South-East states?”
According to him, MASSOB and other pro-Biafran agitators were jokers trying to exploit the oil-rich Niger Delta and to deceive Nigerians.
He noted that the creation of a Biafra Republic could spell doom for the south-east as the geopolitical zone is landlocked and not strategic for international commerce.
The human rights activists therefore, called on Igbo leaders to caution the pro-Biafran agitators who had no idea of the implication of their demand.
He also asked the federal government to release Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra, who has been in the custody of the Department of State Services, for the sake of peace with a stern warning not to toy with treason again.
Meanwhile,  by operatives of the DSS despite court rulings.

2016 Budget Will Focus On Job Creation In Every Sector - Buhari

The Presidency on Tuesday, December 22 2015 has said that the 2016 budget will focus on job creation in every sector in the country.

While giving his speech at the National Assembly, he vowed that the federal government will invest to safeguard lives and properties of Nigerians in order for them to operate in secure environments.
Also, he added that the federal government is ready to work in the interests of Nigerians and will fight for the protection of its citizens.
He said: “We assure Nigerians that our 2016 borrowings will be properly directed while 1.36 trillion naira has been provided for foreign and productive aspects.
Buhari To Brief Senate On 2016 Budget

“We are here to serve and indeed Nigerians will get a service they have longed for and rightfully deserve.
However, while assuring Nigerians that the trust bestowed in the government is not breached, he also suggested that the Nigerian economy needs to find other means of revenue apart from oil.
“This budget is a major step in delivering. We have demonstrated a strong will to fight corruption.
“We implemented the Treasury Single Account which has provided greater visibility to revenue and cash flow,” he added.
Bukola Saraki, the Senate President said the 2016 budget must be bold and pragmatic in providing transparent incentives and conducive environment that will prime private sector-led development, encourage local production and promote made-in Nigeria goods.
“The National Assembly has a critical role to play and we recognize this role. On the budget we are willing and ready to provide the scrutiny necessary to pass only a budget that can be implemented comprehensively to the letter,” he said.
 Buhari Is Not Violating Any Law – Presidency

Yakubu Dogara, the Speaker of the House of Representatives who was also present at the presentation commended President Muuhammadu Buhari for submitting the budget in person to the National Assembly as it had become a norm for it to be communicated to the National Assembly through post or email.
He thanked Nigerians for their confidence in the federal government and also urged his colleagues for the speedy passage of the budget.
After Dogara’s speech, the members of the house of representatives chanted a loud cheer saying “Dogara, Dogara” to show support and solidarity with the speaker.
Naij.com recalls that the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) was submitted barely three weeks to the end of 2015 financial year which is violating provisions of Fiscal Responsibility Act provisions. The budget is usually preceded by the MTEF and FSP.
The MTEF document according to law was supposed to have been submitted for approval by August 2015 four months to the end of the financial year requirement stipulated in the Fiscal Responsibility Act.‎
Meanwhile, the submission of the budget by the Presidency led to the extension of proceedings beyond Thursday the 17th of December 2015 which was earlier agreed for Thursday, December 17 2015, to resume January 2016.‎
