Benzema dismisses Real Madrid exit talk

Karim Benzema has dismissed speculation he could leave Real
Madrid for Arsenal by insisting the Santiago Bernabeu is his
home.
Goal revealed back in May that the Gunners were ready to
launch an ambitious bid to sign the France international,
believing that the player would be interested in a move to north
London.
But Real Madrid’s insistence that Benzema would not be sold
has been unwavering and last week Goal reported a growing
acceptance at Arsenal that they will not get their man this
summer.
And after returning to first-team training at Madrid’s Valdebebas
training complex on Monday, Benzema has finally gone public to
distance himself from reports of a possible transfer.
Benzema’s decision makes it likelier that Petr Cech will remain
Arsenal’s only significant first-team signing this summer, with
Arsene Wenger insisting he will only sanction moves for elite
targets.
The 27-year-old joined Real Madrid from Lyon in 2009 and has
won one La Liga title and the Champions League since his
arrival. Last season, he scored 22 goals in 46 appearances for
the club in all competitions.
For all those clowns who want to make believe things
at my fans. Here this is my home !

Nigeria gets Africa's first football pitch lit by players

Lagos (AFP) - Africa's first football pitch lit solely by the players' movements has been inaugurated in Lagos, the economic hub of power-starved Nigeria, at a ceremony attended by US-Senegalese rapper Akon. The technology, invented by a young British engineer, consists of placing electronic tiles under the artificial turf, which is converted into power by kinetic energy. Also read: 78 persons regain freedom from prisons in Nasarawa State. Each time a player steps on a tile, seven watts of electricity are generated and sent to a battery. The stored power helps to feed six powerful but low consumption LED floodlights that shine on the pitch. Solar panels around the pitch complement the technology, stocking electricity throughout the day. The system has already been installed at a football pitch in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, in football-mad Brazil, which hosted the 2014 World Cup. "It's brilliant," said Kusagba Oluwadamilola, an 18-year-old spor

I work for Lagos policeman, says suspected robber April 11, 2016

 Afeez Hanafi A 21-year-old suspected robber, Akeem Popoola, says a police inspector attached to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja, uses him to swindle unsuspecting victims. He said he had worked for the policeman, identified as Inspector Festus, aka Ijaya, for about four months before he was arrested. The carpenter, who is currently in custody at the Agbado divison, Ogun State, was arrested for robbery and burglary. A mattress and speakers of a sound system were reportedly recovered from him in the Giwa area of Agbado on April 6. He told PUNCH Metro that apart from burglary, he used to collect phones from the inspector and he would later sell them. He added that Ijaya and two others – Abbey and Aluko – would get the buyers arrested minutes later for buying stolen items. Akeem said their victims paid Ijaya between N120,000 and N150,000 before they were released, adding that he got N5,000 as his share on each ‘deal’. “In November 20
