The 2020/21 English Premier League season, which begins tomorrow, will be won by Liverpool.

Reason? Coronavirus!

However, this time, it will be closely contested. There’ll be no repeat of last season’s 18-point gap.
1/4
Liverpool have been in the title mix for two consecutive seasons now; asking the players to have a go for the third time in a row is a huge mental challenge.

But the Reds do know that winning the league last season without the fans...
2/4
...robbed them of the full complement of a proper title celebration.

A part of them feels like they haven’t won the league yet; this will spur them on to success, the knowledge that fans are definitely back at Anfield before May 2021.
3/4
I know fans of high-spending Chelsea, ever-fantasising Arsenal and the lately-red-faced Manchester are angry right now. Goan hug transformer, plix!
4/4

I’m looking to hire five young investigative journalists with whom I’ll work directly on a long-term media project. The roles are based in Lagos and the pay is competitive. Please retweet; my ideal candidates could be on your timeline🙏.
1/8
Gender, academic discipline, class of degree or length of industry practice do not matter. If you consider yourself a fantastic writer and you have completed tertiary education, please give this a shot.

Specifically, we are looking for:

(i) Candidates who genuinely still believe in Nigeria despite all the odds and are convinced journalism has a critical role to play in the emergence of the Nigeria of our dreams.

The man in the videos below — he claims to be a policeman attached to Pedro Police Station, Shomolu — today assaulted a resident of Awofodu Street, Pedro, who was spotting a dreadlocked hair. He also assaulted another and stabbed a third.
1/7
The policeman had stopped the guy in locks (first photo) and asked him to identify himself.

He explained that he is a dancer/actor with Segun Adefila’s Crown Troupe of Africa whose studio is down the road, but he got slaps in return.
2/7
A thoroughly-shocked woman intervened, explaining that as the wife of the Crown Troupe’s founder, she was in a position to confirm that the guy is indeed with the group.

She was slapped too.

Attention @StanbicIBTC, some staff at some of your branches are illegally profiting from backdoor FX exchange by hoarding high-value currencies from your customers.

It’s a practice I’ve suspected for years but one I finally confirmed yesterday.
1/11
Every single time I’ve had to withdraw USD at your Allen Avenue branch, it always came with a caveat: “Please we only have small notes; hope you don’t mind.”

Since these were usually small amounts (often payments for pieces for overseas newspapers), I never minded.
2/11
Yesterday afternoon, though, I did.

The @StanbicIBTC branch at Allen had claimed to have only $20 notes, all totalling no more than $600, which was inadequate for my need.

A Wamos Air Flight PLM556 conveying more than 200 stranded Nigerians arrived in Abuja from London on Tuesday.

The passengers were meant to return for COVID-19 tests yesterday but, guess what? Many of them did not show up!
#fisayoscovid19series
1/11
First of all, this was meant to be an Air Peace flight and should have taken off on Monday July 13 but landing permit issues prompted a rescheduling with Wamos Air for Tuesday.
2/11
On arrival in Abuja, the passengers filled a form provided by the NCDC. They were also given six pieces of face mask, one bottle of hand sanitizer, a thermometer with which to check their temperatures morning and night and a sheet on which to record the figures.

FMC Abeokuta, Ogun, is filled with patients exhibiting classical COVID-19 symptoms. Normally, this shouldn’t be a problem; it’s a hospital after all.

But these patients are at the Accident & Emergency and the Emergency Treatment Room of the hospital.
#fisayoscovid19series
1/11
They may still be suspected but one notable red flag is that their names are registered in the hospital’s records in red ink.
2/11
Admitting them at the A&E (both children and adult emergency) means they mix with their relatives and other patients, who in turn interact with hospital staff.

Relatives of the suspected COVID-19 patients, for example, use the same wash-hand basin as hospital staff...

The man in the appended pictures defrauded a good-natured Bolt driver of N900,000 in cash and purchases. Anyone who knows his face should please contact us so the law can run its course. Don’t who don’t, please RT to save other potential victims.
1/8
On Monday April 6, Prince (I’m guessing this was a fake name) ordered a Bolt ride from The Place on Kafi Street, Ikeja GRA, very close to the Ikeja City Mall (ICM). The number 08034024931 made the request and Prince’s destination was Obafemi Awolowo Way...

...but once he got into the car he changed it to Lekki Phase 1.

He also negotiated with the driver for two full days of being chaperoned. He lied to the driver that his ATM card wasn’t with him and begged to be allowed to transfer money into the driver’s account.
