JUST IN! TRUMP SACKS HIS CAMPAIGN MANAGER

Republican Presidential candidate-Donald Trump has made a
surprise move by sacking his embattled campaign manager Corey
Lewandowski. The campaign manager made headlines recently when he
forcefully grabbed a reporter's arm while trying to stop her from
moving forward with a question at a campaign event. He was an original
member of Trump's campaign team.
There have also been wide spread reports of an enstranged
relationship between Lewandaski and top members of the team. Including
Trump's chief strategiser Paul Manafort. The feud between Corey and
Paul Manafort has been on ever since Manafort came into the team. Most
times he hasn't given Manafort the breathing space to take take out
decisions. Some times overuling others.
In a statement to announce Corey's sack, Trump's campaign team
appreciated the efforts of the former campaign manager, especially in
creating a historic record of the highest number of votes gathered
during primaries.
"The Donald J. Trump Campaign for President,
which has set a historic record in the Republican
Primary having received almost 14 million votes,
has today announced that Corey Lewandowski
will no longer be working with the campaign,"
In another statement made by Trump's campaign spokes woman- Hope
Hicks. She said:
"The campaign is grateful to Corey for his hard
work and dedication and we wish him the best in
the future."
For now Manafort is totally in charge of the campaign.
The news was received with joy by several quaters of the campaign team.
A top aide of Trump Michael Caputo took to twitter to share his
happiness at the development. He posted:
"ding dong the witch is dead"
The news comes weeks after reports of an internal tug of war in the
team became obvious. An anonymous source revealed that " 20 percent
percent of Manafort's time was spent dealing with Leywandowski."
Another source described the situation this way:
" Lewandowski, a Trump loyalist without major campaign
experience, repeatedly sparred with Manafort, a longtime insider who
was brought on as the campaign looked to close the sale in the primary
and pivot toward the general election."

manufacturer of the shirts and addidas the manufacture of the ball.
It's costumary for footie stars to exchange their jerseys after a
match, but almost five switzerland players were forced to change their
torn shirts while the match was on.
Switzerland and stoke player- Shaquiri jokingly said he hopes puma
are not manufacturing condoms.
Other players changed theirs too.
Granit Xhaka changed twice. And about three other players too. Not

NEW FOREX POLICY: OVER N100 CHOPPED OFF AS MARKET OPENS.

Image:vanguard ngr
Incredible...
As the new CBN policy took effect this morning, the market has seen
almost N100 taken away from the naira. As the Naira was quoted at
N253 against the dollar, and there are chances the rate could go
further down before the closing bell. The CBN last week, decided to
scrap its fixed exchange system and handsoff naira control. And it
looks like the policy is paying off right. The new policy will now
allow the market to ultimately determine naira value. I call this True
Forex.
So...no more dollar subsidy that never ceases to favour the rich.
This ultimately means that if you had $1000 in your account which was
what about N360,000 days ago,you would be what just N260,000 or less
by the end of today. But don't worry, your loss is the gain of over
160million Nigerians.

WORLD REFUGEE DAY: ICELAND KICKS OUT BOKO HARAM VICTIM.

As we celebrate the World Refugee day, Al jeezra has brought the
story of an enterprising young Nigerian who got deported from iceland
after leaving there for four years now. For no other reason other than
he's not wanted.
Eze Okafor, a 32 year old man fled Nigeria 6 years ago in
2010,after being terrorised by the deadly islamic sect-Boko Haram.
According to him, he fled the country because the sect wanted to
recruit him as a member by force. He said that twice he and his
brother were attacked for not consenting to join the group. The second
time, his brother was killed while he escaped with injuries on his
face where he was stabbed by assailants.
Thereafter, Eze saw the need to flee for his life,and he did. He
made a very risky journey by boat to Europe and sought asylum in
Sweden. His plea was rejected despite showing the authorities his
fresh and infected wounds. He made his way to iceland, applied for
asylum in 2012,but that was also denied.
After the deadline for his asylum request elapsed(6months), he was
told to have his asylum request processed at the immigration. He got
to the immigration and another twist in the case came up:
"The police said I should come to sign and all of a sudden they took
me into custody. They arrested me. I spent the night in jail,"

"They next morning they said they were
deporting me. I said I should go and get my stuff
from my house. They said no. They took me to
the airport and manhandled me."
Eze also added that the treatment he received from the immigration
unit, did not go down well with his friends who raised protests.
"In Iceland, I have been integrated into society, with so many
friends. A lot of people know me. So when the police was beating me,
when I was arrested, there was a lot of reaction."
On may 26, he was handcuffed and put on a plane for deportation.
Two members of a human rights group tried to rouse other passengers of
the plane to protest against the treatment, but that only got them
arrested.
He was taken back to Stockholm in Sweden, and in place of the only
ID he had- his driver's license, a paper was handed to him which
stated that he had no rights to any financial assistance or whatsover.
He spent his first night on the streets.

Fear of the unknown.
Eze has been given a deadline of June 1, to leave Sweden or be
deported, this time straight to Nigeria. Today, Eze is uncertain and
confused about his future. But he believes one thing, returning to
Nigeria would mean death for him.
"The activities of Boko Haram are real and are at all levels of the
government. They have a network" he said.
He said his mother taught him how to cook, and that he loves cooking
Nigerian dishes. Adding that cooking is his passion, and that he loved
his job working in a restaurant in Iceland.
He also talked about the possibility of his going back to iceland.
And opening a restaurant.

"When I was in handcuffs on my way to Sweden, I was pleading with
them," Eze said. "I am not a criminal. I did not commit any crime. I
am asking for refuge. They should treat me like a human."
He lamented with pain.
