MTN SUES NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT OVER FINE

Below is the communique sent to MTN staff and share holders.

We will force Nigeria to accept gay marriage- US

The United States Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield has noted that the US won’t stop pressurizing Nigeria to accept and legalize gay marriage. She spoke to journalists via a live Web interview from Washington. Quote below;
As a government, it is
one of the highest
priorities and
strongest values that
discrimination against
anyone based on their
sexual orientation and
gender identity is
wrong. We believe
human rights should
be available to
everybody. As a
policy, we will
continue to press the
government of
Nigeria, as well as
other governments
which have provided
legislation that
discriminate against
the LGBT community.
This is very much a
work in progress, but I
think you will agree
with me that the law
in Nigeria really went
far in discriminating
against this
community but also
people who associate
with them. So, we will
continue to press the
government, to press
the legislature to
change these laws
and provide human
rights for all Nigerian
people regardless of
their sexual
orientation. With what
is happening in the
US, you can determine
how far we are willing
to go. We strongly
believe human rights
for all people and we
are particularly
opposed to legislation
that actually targets
the gay community for
discrimination. So we
are prepared to push
this as a policy, not
just in Africa but
across the world.

Raheem Sterling: City and Liverpool agree £49m deal

Liverpool have reached an agreement with Manchester City over the £49m transfer of Raheem Sterling.
The transfer of the 20-year-old England
winger is subject to contract negotiations and a medical.
Sterling had asked to leave Anfield and was the subject of two bids from City in June, which were rejected.
The 20-year-old is under contract until 2017, but turned down a new £100,000-a-week deal at Liverpool.
On Saturday, Sterling was named on a 30-man list for the tour of Thailand, Australia and Malaysia, but was then withdrawn.
Several former Liverpool players have
criticised the player since he told manager Brendan Rodgers and chief executive Ian Ayre he wanted to leave the club this summer.
Former captain Steven Gerrard said he was "disappointed" in the England international.
"You don't have to throw in illness, or refuse to go on tour," LA Galaxy midfielder Gerrard added. "The fans have shown him great support, they want him to stay and I believe that he should too."
However, it is understood the Reds decided to leave him out of the tour after the player reported for duty.
A recent study ranked Sterling as the most valuable young player in Europe, ahead of Paris St-Germain defender Marquinhos and Manchester United's recently acquired Dutch striker Memphis Depay.

Casillas signs two-year contract with FC Porto

Porto have handed Iker Casillas a two-year contract with the option of a third following his transfer from Real Madrid.
Iker Casillas has rubber-stamped his move from Real Madrid to Porto by signing a two- year contract with the Primeira Liga giants. The legendary goalkeeper's transfer was confirmed on Saturday, signalling the end of a
25-year association with the Santiago
Bernabeu outfit.
Casillas held a news conference to bid an
emotional farewell to his boyhood club earlier on Sunday and struggled to hold back the tears as he delivered a pre-prepared statement. Porto subsequently confirmed details of Casillas' new contract, which includes the option of a third year.
Casillas departs Real having amassed 725 appearances since making his debut away to Athletic Bilbao in 1999, and is expected to be replaced in Rafael Benitez's side by Manchester United keeper David de Gea. The 34-year-old has won everything before him in a 15-year career on domestic and international fronts with Real and Spain, listing five La Liga titles and three UEFA Champions Leagues among two European Championships and a 2010 World Cup triumph. Apparently, united might lose De Gea.
