Suarez Begins Training At Barcelona

All eyes were on Luis Suarez as he trained with
his Barcelona team-mates for the first time on
Friday after getting the green light from the Court
of Arbitration for Sport.
In a short statement on their website, the club
said: “Luis Suarez was the centre of attention this
Friday morning at the first team training session
at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper.
“After the ruling on Thursday by the Court of
Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on the sanction
imposed by FIFA on the Uruguayan player, Luis
Suarez is now able to train with his new team-
mates.”
Suarez took an active part in the session with the
main group under the watchful eye of coach Luis
Enrique.
On Thursday, the CAS upheld Suarez’s four-
month ban from playing in competitive games as
well as his nine-match international suspension,
but it did allow him to train and play in unofficial
matches.
And that means he could make his debut against
Mexican club Leon in the Gamper Trophy, the
traditional curtain-raiser to the season at the
Camp Nou.
There will be a temptation to give the 27-year-old
a run-out against Leon as it will be Barcelona’s
final friendly before their first league game of the
new season against Elche next weekend.
Suarez has reportedly been training on his own in
an unknown location in Catalonia since
completing his 95 million euros (£75 million, $127
million) move to the Camp Nou from Liverpool last
month.
He will be available to play in competitive
matches from Saturday, October 25, meaning his
official debut could come in the first Clasico of
the campaign against Real Madrid at the Santiago
Bernabeu, which has been scheduled for that
weekend.
Suarez was banned for biting Italy’s Giorgio
Chiellini at the World Cup but despite the player
being allowed to resume training, Uruguayan
football officials are still “frustrated” with the
handling of the controversy.
Uruguayan Football Federation lawyer Daniel
Cravo told Sky Sports News: “We are really
frustrated — we understand that the behaviour of
Luis Suarez in that match deserved to be
punished but we don’t think that it was the worst
behaviour of a player in a World Cup.
“There have been worse situations and the
players were not sanctioned at this level but of
course we respect CAS’ decision.
“We have to wait for the reasons and we are
sorry for not having achieved what our client
wanted from us. I don’t want to criticise the
decision because I don’t know the grounds, that’s
something we are interested in checking.”
Suarez has never explained his propensity to bite
opponents.
He earned a 10-game ban for biting Chelsea’s
Branislav Ivanovic in 2013, after being sidelined
for seven matches with Dutch club Ajax in 2010
for the same offence against PSV Eindhoven’s
Otman Bakkal.
Suarez will be presented to the Barça fans on
Monday before the Joan Gamper Trophy match
and on Tuesday he will be presented to the media
at a press conference.
In Friday’s training session, as well as Suarez,
Brazilian Neymar completed the full session, even
though he has not received the medical all clear
after suffering a fractured vertebrae in the World
Cup quarter-final against Colombia.

Khloe Kardashian Reacts To Rumoured Butt Plastic Surgery

Since this year, Khloe Kardashian's butt has been
looking extra ordinarily bigger than it used to.
This throws up controversy that whether or not
her butt is natural.
While volunteering with Kourtney and Bruce at the
Fisher House Foundation, Khloé was approached
by a woman who pulls her aside and shocked her
with her question.

"I told my son how beautiful you are," the woman
says. "Then I said, 'Is that her real butt?'"
"You can touch it," Khloé said with a laugh. "It
really is!", Khloe replied...that's it!

Jonathan Mourns With Urhobo's Over Aziza's Death

President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday
commiserated with the Urhobo people of Delta
on the death of the President-General of the
Urhobo Progressive Union (UPU), Major-General
Patrick Aziza (rtd).

Aziza, who was the first Military Administrator
of Kebbi state between 1991 and 1992, died on
Saturday at the age of 67.
Jonathan’s condolence message was contained in
a statement issued by his Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati, in Abuja.

The statement also extended the president’s
condolences to the Aziza family, the
government and people of Delta as well as the
late General’s friends, associates and former
military colleagues.

“The President joins them in mourning the
passage of the former minister and one-time
military governor of Kebbi.

“Aziza selflessly dedicated himself to the service
of his people and community after retiring from
a distinguished career in the nation’s armed
forces.

“As they grieve over his death, Jonathan urges
members of the Aziza family, the UPU, his
friends and former colleagues in the Nigerian
Army to accept the will of God Almighty.

“They should be comforted by the knowledge
that Aziza served his people and country to the
best of his God-given abilities while he lived.’’

NAN reports that the late Aziza, who hailed
from Okpe Local Government Area in Delta
Central, served as Minister of Communications
in the military regime of late Gen. Sani Abacha.

He was also Minister of Commerce and Tourism
during the transitional regime of Gen.
Abdulsalami Abubakar.

Nasarawa: Lawmakers Petitions NJC

The Nasarawa State House of Assembly on
Monday resolved to report the state Chief
Judge, Suleiman Dikko, to the National Judicial
Council, NJC, over alleged lacuna in setting up
the panel that investigated Governor Umaru
Tanko Al-Makura, on alleged gross misconduct.

The Assembly made the resolution during its
plenary session following a motion to that effect
moved by the Majority Leader, Godiya
Akwashiki (PDP Nasarawa Eggon- West) and
seconded by the deputy house leader, Yahaya
Usman (PDP Umasha/ Ugya) at the House of
Assembly complex, Lafia, the state capital.
The resolution was passed shortly after the
lawmakers returned from their recess to
continue with the remaining part of the
legislative year consequent upon which it
directed the clerk of the house to write a letter
to that effect to the NJC within 24 hours.

Proceedings of the plenary session began at
10:40 a.m when the Majority Leader raised a
motion under section 4 of the order paper of the
day under matters of public interest saying, “We
have meet here today to observe certain lacuna
to the setting up of the panel which investigated
the governor.

Therefore, there is the need to write to the NJC
to investigate the Chief Judge within 24 hours in
order to avoid the breakdown of law and other
in the state.”
In a submission to that motion, Francis Orogu
(PDP Keana) viewed the motion as desirable
hence according to him, “the state Chief Judge
has abused his oath of office and joined forces
with others to frustrate the process of enacting
the rule of law in the state.”

Passing the motion, the Speaker, Ahmed Musa
Mohammed, ruled that “the motion is hereby
passed and the Clerk of the Assembly is hereby
directed to act accordingly within 24 hours of
the passage of the resolution.”

Similarly, the state Assembly at the same
plenary sitting suspended one of its members,
Tanko Tunga (APC Awe North), on allegation of
casting aspersion on the state’s legislative body
for six months and placed him on half salary
during the period.

The motion that led to the suspension of the
Awe North representative was moved by
Mohammed Baba Ibaku (PDP Udegye/Loko)
after seeking the stepping down of section 14
subsection 3 of the house code which prohibits
the deliberation of two issues on matters of
public interest for sitting.

The motion of Baba Ibaku, which was seconded
by the majority leader of the house, wanted
Tunga suspended because “ he (Tunga) had on
July 23, 2014 obstructed the business of the
Assembly by pushing the Speaker, tampering
with mace, crying in the hallowed chamber of
the Assembly when he was not beaten and
casting aspersion on the lawmaker on the state-
owned broadcasting outfit.”

Hitherto, Ibaku had wanted the lawmaker to be
suspended for six months and placed on half
salary, visit a psychiatric for test and barred
from sittings at the Assembly premises till he
completes his suspension.

R.Kelly Sued By Ex Manager

R. Kelly is being sued by his former manager,
Derrel McDavid for being ungrateful after he
made him a star.

According to a lawsuit filed, Derrel McDavid
says he's managed R. Kelly for decades and
helped him navigate from a nobody to a
superstar.

TMZ reports that things started getting dirty last
year when Kelly and McDavid parted company.

The lawsuit said they made a deal that Kelly
would give McDavid $1.3 million and they'd
walk their separate ways.

McDavid says Kelly made the initial $300K
payment, but the deal called for additional $40K
a month payments for 18 months and he hasn't
received anything since then.

McDavid's suing for the $1M balance.

R.Kelly could be in deep problem if he refuses
to own up to the agreement as TMZ gathered
that McDavid was deeply involved in Kelly's
professional and personal life, and knows
everything about the various disputes he's had
with women and others going back 20 years.
