CRISTIANO RONALDO WINS THE "WORLD FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR 2013 AWARD"
Cristiano Ronaldo has won the Ballon d'Or after a stunning year that saw him net an astonishing 69 goals in 59 games.
The Real Madrid talisman's achievements saw him surpass Hugo Sanchez in his club's scoring charts and equal Portugal legend Pauleta at the top of his country's list with 47 in 109 games.
Fourteen of his goals came in the Champions League as Madrid reached the semifinals before being beaten by Borussia Dortmund -- and that total eclipsed the record of 13 achieved in the season before by the shortlisted Lionel Messi.
His 2013 goal tally has overshadowed those of his two Ballon d'Or rivals, Messi and Franck Ribery, and he is the top scorer in all of Europe's biggest leagues.

#ODUAHGATE - PRESIDENTIAL COMMITTEE INDICTS EMBATTLED MINISTER OF AVIATION "STELLA ODUAH"
The committee set up by President Goodluck Jonathan to probe the N255m bulletproof car scandal in the aviation ministry has indicted the Minister, Ms. Stella Oduah.
It was gathered in Abuja on Sunday that the report of the presidential committee tallied with some findings of the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation on the scandal.
In October, there were reports that with the approval of the minister, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority purchased two bulletproof BMW cars at an allegedly inflated rate of N255m. The development sparked a countrywide controversy with many Nigerians and groups calling for her sacking. The House subsequently mandated its Committee on Aviation to probe the allegation against the minister.

MALI DEFEATS NIGERIA (2 -1) IN CHAN 2014
Nigeria’s first ever African Nations Championship match ended with a 2-1 defeat to Mali at the Cape Town Stadium.
Goals from Abdoulaye Sissoko and Adama Traore were all Les Aigles needed to beat Stephen Keshi’s men who got their lone goal through a header from substitute Gbolahan Salami.
The game started with both sides battling for possession but it was the French-speaking West Africans that signified their intentions early through Ibourahima Sidibe who was adjudged offside.
YOU MUST READ THIS >>>> MURDER AND ABUSE OF MILITARY UNIFORM
I love editorial articles with a passion. Please read this piece from PunchNG on the abuse of power by military men.
Fourteen years after the return of civil rule to Nigeria, some elements in the military have yet to shed the despicable practice of harassing, assaulting, physically abusing and killing innocent civilians. In yet another case of murder, a Nigerian Army private, Benjamin Ezinne, on December 30, beat Bashiru Adebayo, a commercial bus driver, to death in Lagos. It was a needless tragedy, but Adebayo died nevertheless simply because he demanded that Ezinne should pay his bus fare. Life is sacred, and no Nigerian should lose it so cheaply because of an ill-disciplined man in uniform. Adebayo’s death is unwarranted. It is a barbaric act that must be punished.

Gorgeous Award-winning artiste Nikki Laoye speaks about her career and other issues in this interview granted to a Punch correspondent.
Did you expect to win in the Best Vocal Performance Female Category at the Hip Hop World Awards?
I won’t say I expected to win but it was something I prayed for. It was not just about the award but what winning it meant to me because the song ‘Only you’ that got me the award was dedicated to the memory of my father and God who saw me through my down time. It was a song that came at a time when I had to lean on God and get out of the depression I fell into after I lost my dad.

| Late Juliana died few weeks after the torture |
There were three victims in the crime - the sodomized woman, Juliana, her stepmother, Ajoke, and her stepsister, Nike, 12. The 12 year old is the second victim in the video clip. The third victim, Ajoke, was brought in for torture but not shown on the video that circulated.
Juliana, who was very obvious in the video is dead.
The video first aired on the internet in February 2013 shows a faceless gang attacking two women, unidentified, stripping them naked, and thrusting ground pepper and hard sticks into the genitals of one of them and covering her in a heavy liquid. A second victim, a teenage girl, was tortured as well.
Mr. Agomah Freeman, the palm wine tapper, whose wife and children were tortured was said to have been billed N150, 000 by a powerful traditional ruler in the area to have his family released to him, and was banished from the area. Mr. Agomoh and the rest of his surviving family have now relocated to Ilorin in Kwara after failing to pay the “fines” imposed by the traditional ruler and political associates of the Ejigbo local government chairman, Kehinde Bamigbetan.
Mr. Agomoh has now publicly admitted that his daughter, Juliana, died a few weeks after the torture in Ajase, Contonou, Benin Republic, where she had gone for treatment in her his hometown. That not only was she blinded and sodomized with pepper, but also her breasts were sliced leaving her with a deadly injury that got infected.
