Goodluck is a terrible guy and a big time scammer - Bobrisky narrates what happened between him and Instagram user he promised to helpCross-Dresser, Bobrisky has narrated what happened between him and an Instagram user identified as Goodluck, who he promised to help for the sake of his (Goodluck) grandmother. The cross-dresser who was called out for allegedly not fulfilling his promise, recounted how he paid for Goodluck and his grandmother’s flight from Calabar to Lagos in an Instalive video. Describing Goodluck as a ''terrible guy and a big time scammer,'' he also alleged that the duo smoked in a hotel he booked for them even though it was their first meeting. Bobrisky who disclosed that he forgave them for that, said Goodluck and his Grandmother stayed in Lagos for five days, but she (grandmother) insisted on going back to Calabar to take care of her goats. The cross-dresser noted that he took care of their flights, hotel bills, sprayed them N200k and also gave Goodluck N100k to take care of their leaking roof in Calabar. Bobrisky accused Goodluck of not showing proof of fixing the leaking roof and now asking for N1 million he promised them. He also stated that he is not a yahoo-girl or a politician and must get value for every money he spends. The post Goodluck is a terrible guy and a big time scammer - Bobrisky narrates what happened between him and Instagram user he promised to help (video) appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Nigeria out of World Relays as athletes are denied visas

Nigeria will not be represented at the 2021 World Athletics Relays that would be taking place this weekend, in Silesia, Poland. John Akanji, media aide to the sports minister, Sunday Dare, said the country will not participate in the relays because "the athletes were denied visas by the Polish embassy." Akanji's statement was to refute claims that Nigerian athletes will not be exchanging batons in Poland because of infighting between officials. A leadership crisis is currently rocking the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN), with the sports ministry backing a faction headed by one Olamide George. Ibrahim Shehu-Gusau, the factional leader of the AFN, whose leadership is being tagged "illegitimate" by a rival faction led by Olamide George, had released a press statement on Thursday, April 29. In the press release, he blamed sports ministry officials for Nigeria missing out on the competition. In the statement titled, "Sports ministry scuttles Nigeria’s World Relays participation", Gusau claimed the Ministry of Youth and Sports chose to take the athletes to a training tour in the United States for the same relays they are yet to qualify for, instead of the pre-Olympic Games qualification in Poland. The statement by the Shehu-Gusau-led AFN reads: "Nigeria will not participate in the World Relays because the Ministry of Youth and Sports opted to take the athletes to a training tour in the United States for the same relays, they are yet to qualify for, instead of a pre- Olympic Games qualification in Poland. "The information at our disposal is that athletes who were supposed to represent Nigeria at the World Athletics Relays in Silesia, Poland, were taken to the USA Embassy to obtain visas for a training tour of an event they were yet to qualify for. "The scheduled relays in Poland were meant to enable Nigeria to secure qualification for the Olympic Games in Tokyo but to our disbelief, the athletes’ passports were diverted to the USA Embassy to secure visas for a training camp for an event they are yet to qualify for. How can a qualification competition in Poland which was our best bet be ignored for a training camp inthe USA? "This is one of the numerous reasons why sports in Nigeria should be allowed to be administered according to international best practices." However, Joshua Akanji, Senior Adviser on Media to the Sports Minister, told Premium TImes that Gusau has no locus standi to issue a press statement as AFN President. Akanji said: "Gusau is not the president of the AFN so you cannot say the AFN President issued a press statement, you are fully aware of the position of the World Athletics and CAA in their fact-finding mission, they insist that they recognise the 2017 AFN Constitution." He berated Gusau for allegedly putting his personal interest ahead of 200 million Nigerians. Akanji explained that it was following the refusal of the Polish Embassy in Nigeria to issue entry visas to Nigeria’s contingent to the World Relays that the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports Development and the Athletics Federation of Nigeria (AFN) moved to ensure Nigeria qualifies for the five relay events at the Tokyo Olympics. The statement read in part: "To this end, a number of athletics meetings have been secured in the United States of America while a five-nation relay meeting is also on the card to hold in Nigeria before the window for qualification closes on June 29, 2021. "It must be noted that only the top 16 relay teams/ times will participate at the Tokyo Olympics. The Ministry is properly guided and Team Nigeria is not in any jeopardy." Both the Sports Ministry and the AFN said they had anticipated that Gusau would block the registration of Nigerian athletes for the event, as he is still in the custody of the official password of the federation, so they moved to organise a few meetings in the USA to ensure the teams get the chance to still qualify for the Olympics, Premium Times reports. "The AFN led by the acting president, Olamide George, was only availed the opportunity to register the team following the intervention of the two-man Confederation of African Athletics team that came to Abuja last week to resolve the conflict within the AFN. "We did not get to officially register the team until Thursday last week and apply for entry visas at the Polish Embassy. Upon our application, the Polish Embassy insisted it would take two weeks to process the visa applications and all entreaties for a quick consideration were ignored," said Niyi Beyioku, the AFN Secretary-General. Beyioku continued: "The Sports Minister, Sunday Dare had to involve the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure we get the team visas to Poland but the embassy stood its ground and we, after consultations with the Sports Ministry decided to switch to our second plan which was to convert a pre-arranged training tour to include qualification for the five relay events. The AFN wants to assure Nigerians that our relay teams will be in Tokyo come this July. "The World Relay does not close the qualification window for the Tokyo Olympics. We have other events that we have mentioned and also the African Athletics Championships holding in June in Algiers, Algeria. "So, we have quite a number of opportunities to achieve our aim of getting Nigerian relay teams to the Olympics." The post Nigeria out of World Relays as athletes are denied visas appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Tacha warns religious leaders to stop using the name of God to influence voter's decision ahead of 2023 election

Tacha has asked religious leaders to desist from using the name of God to influence voter's decisions. The BBNaija reality star took to her Instagram Stories to say that "Nigeria has been set back by 50 years" and it will take us several years to make progress. She warned religious leaders not to use their prophesies to make matters worse for the country during the next election. She pointed out that she respects religion and religious leaders but said it's troubling that when it's election period, religious leaders come out to claim that God spoke to them that a particular candidate should lead. "2023 election is coming up, support your candidate.  If God did not say anything to you, don't involved him," she told pastors.  Watch her speak in the video below.      View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial) The post Tacha warns religious leaders to stop using the name of God to influence voter's decision ahead of 2023 election appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Painter arrested for allegedly impersonating Lagos monarch, Oba Elegushi and defrauding Facebook lover of N51m

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a painter, Moses Olaitan, and his accomplice, Segun Omoshola, for allegedly impersonating the Elegushi of Ikate land, Oba Saheed Elegushi, and using his image to defraud a woman they met on Facebook of N51m. Parading the suspect before newsmen on Thursday, April 29, the state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, said the suspect was arrested following a complaint lodged at the station. He said after a detailed investigation, detectives tracked down and arrested Olaitan and Segun three months after perpetrating the crime. Speaking to newsmen, Olaitan said after he opened a Facebook account in the name of the monarch and started posting different pictures of the traditional ruler to attract potential suitors. “Everything happened on Facebook. I impersonated Oba Saheed Elegushi on Facebook and used his pictures. She (the victim) connected with me online and said she wanted to marry a king and we started from there. I told her that if she wanted to marry a king, she needs to do some cultural activities and she agreed.She told me to send my account number, but because I didn’t have an account number, I contacted Segun, who provided the account used for collecting the money.I was paid N2.5m and it was when I was brought to the command that I got to know that what she paid was N51m. How I was arrested was that the police tracked my cousin’s number. I was making arrangements for my birthday when the police arrested me.”Olaitan said His accomplice, 48-year-old Segun, said he got only N3.5 million from the crime and is shocked that N51 million was actually paid by the victim. “I took him to those who provided the account used in collecting the money from the woman. I collected N3.5m. I was shocked when I heard that the money was N51m.”he said The post Painter arrested for allegedly impersonating Lagos monarch, Oba Elegushi and defrauding Facebook lover of N51m appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Tyson Fury's heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua on the 'brink of being scrapped'

The mega-fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua is reportedly on the brink of being scrapped amid frustration the bout is yet to be finalized, with alternative opponents for both Britain's world heavyweight champions already on stand-by. Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury had agreed on a two-fight deal last month but date and location for the first bout is still to be finalised.  A few days ago, AJ's promoter Eddie Hearn claimed that the deal was also done, with the details set to be made public soon. It was rumoured that the fight could go down in the summer of 2021 in Saudi Arabia and could make around $200 million, which would later be split 50-50 between the two parties. However, Fury’s American promoter, Bob Arum has now said that the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua bout might not take place this year as the terms with Saudi Arabia are yet to be finalised He told Telegraph on Thursday night, April 29: 'We keep passing deadlines for Eddie Hearn to deliver the deal he keeps talking about and we are out of time. Once again he is saying next week but next week never comes.'  Mr. Bob also spoke about the possibility of Deontay Wilder's trilogy fight with Fury, who knocked him out to gain the WBC world title. With Wilder back in training, Arum added: 'Fury-Joshua looks dead in the water. Tyson has been out of action for too long and has to fight this summer. Who else is he going to fight other than Wilder? A third fight between them is huge in its own right.'  Oleksandr Usyk, the former undisputed world cruiserweight champion, is also back at work in the gym as the mandatory challenger for one of Anthony Joshua's collection of belts and is ready to step in against him. The boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn is still insisting that a $150million (£108m) deal for a mid-summer battle between Joshua and the Gypsy King remains in Saudi Arabia for this summer, saying: 'It is definitely, 100 percent, going to happen.' Arum retorts: 'Eddie only has one fight left with his Joshua contract and he is desperate for it be this big one. Usyk is a good fight but not as huge as Tyson and AJ. But it doesn't look possible now before next year or even the year after. Like Tyson, Joshua needs to fight soon.'      The post Tyson Fury's heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua on the 'brink of being scrapped' appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Shelve the idea of staging another public rally for the actualization of Oduduwa republic - Police warns organizers of Yoruba nation rally

Shelve the idea of staging another public rally for the actualization of Oduduwa republic - Police warned organizers of Yoruba nation rally The Ogun state police command has warned organizers of Yoruba nation rally against carrying on with it, as it is capable of undermining the relative peace being enjoyed in the entire State.  The police which noted that the group will be holding its fourth rally in the state on May 1, accused the secessionists of attacking security operatives when being stopped from distributing inciting letters in the past.  Abimbola Oyeyemi, spokesman of the Ogun police command stated that though they have exhibited restraint and absolute calm even in the face of extreme provocations by the organisers of the rallies and their cohorts, they will not perpetually stand by and watch public conducts of some citizens hold others to the ransom and threaten the corporate existence of the country. The statement read;  “It will be recalled that the group had on 21/3/2021 staged a public rally at Isara Remo for the actualization of Oduduwa republic, where they blocked highways and made free-flow of traffic very difficult for other road users. The same group staged another rally in Shagamu on 16/4/2021 where they made an attempt to attack Shagamu police station for no reason. Yet, on 25/4/2021, they held another rally at Ajuwon where in the course of stopping them from distributing inciting letters, policemen and other security agents were jeered at and pelted with missiles. “The same group is again planning to hold another mass rally on 1st May, 2021 at Abeokuta, making it the 4th rally in the State in quick succession.“The general public should note that the Command had difficulties in preventing hoodlums from infiltrating and hijacking the earlier rallies and preventing what would have been a major breakdown of law and order and disturbance of public peace.“We had also exhibited restraint and absolute calm even in the face of extreme provocations by the organisers of the rallies and their cohorts.“However, it is important to note that the police will not perpetually stand by and watch public conducts of some citizens hold others to the ransom and threaten the corporate existence of the country. The Command is especially worried that if care is not taken, the pains and agonies that similar agitations and rallies are presently causing in some parts of the country may be repeated in our very peaceful Ogun State.“It is also instructive to note that available intelligence shows that the organisers of these rallies are being sponsored by certain individuals outside the State and the country to destabilise Ogun State.“The Command therefore, wishes to appeal to the leaders of this group to shelve the idea of staging another public rally in any part of the State for now, as such is capable of undermining the relative peace being enjoyed in the entire State. Consequently, the rally slated for Abeokuta on 1st May, 2021, is viewed by the Command as one too many in the State, and therefore not approved.”The post Shelve the idea of staging another public rally for the actualization of Oduduwa republic - Police warns organizers of Yoruba nation rally appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

71-year-old preacher arrested for telling passers-by that God created only 2 genders (video)

An elderly pastor was arrested on the streets of London for making "homophobic comments" and telling passers-by that same-sex couples were against "God’s created order". Pastor John Sherwood and Pastor Peter Simpson were preaching outside Uxbridge tube station in West London on Friday, April 23, when police officers were called on them. Simpson said that he "began the preaching and referred to the grave abandonment by our nation of its Christian foundations, an abandonment which has manifested itself in, for example, the redefinition of marriage". Same-sex marriage, he said, was "an assault upon the Biblical revelation, which tells us that marriage can be only between one man and one woman".  Sherwood, 71, then took over and began "expounding the final verses of Genesis 1". He told passers-by that families must be "headed by a father and a mother", and that "the distinction within mankind of just two genders, male and female, made in the image of God, constitutes the essence of God’s created order". Police soon arrived at the scene, saying they have received complaints about "homophobic comments" made by the pastor that were causing "distress" to members of the public. Officers were caught on video asking him to stop preaching against LGBT+ people, which he refused to do.  Sherwood was then told he was under arrest and was asked to come down from his step stool, which he also refused to do. Onlookers can be heard shouting, "He's an elderly man, take it easy with him." Eventually, police took the man’s hands and guided him down, after which he tried to break free, before finally being put in handcuffs and taken to a police car.  Mr Sherwood, a pastor for 35 years, said: "I wasn't making any homophobic comments, I was just defining marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman. I was only saying what the Bible says – I wasn't wanting to hurt anyone or cause offence. "I was doing what my job description says, which is to preach the gospel in open air as well as in a church building. "When the police approached me, I explained that I was exercising my religious liberty and my conscience. I was forcibly pulled down from the steps and suffered some injury to my wrist and to my elbow. I do believe I was treated shamefully. It should never have happened." Mr Sherwood, who preaches at an independent evangelical church in north London, was arrested under the Public Order Act for allegedly causing alarm or distress. He was released without charge but a file has now been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service for review. The Metropolitan Police said a member of the public flagged down patrol officers and alleged Mr Sherwood had made homophobic comments. Mr Sherwood said officers grilled him over his attitude to gay people. He was even asked what he would do if his children were gay. The married father-of-two said: "The question was irrelevant to the allegation against me. I said I would seek to bring them to Christ, but of course I would love them no matter what, because they're my children."  Watch the video below.       View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial)The post 71-year-old preacher arrested for telling passers-by that God created only 2 genders (video) appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Baba Ijesha is so despicable - Abike Dabiri-Erewa

The chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Arewa has reacted to the sexual assault allegations leveled against Nollywood actor Olarenwaju James popularly known as Baba Ijesha. Baba Ijesha was recently arrested by the Lagos state police command to allegedly molesting a minor.  In a tweet posted on Thursday, April 29, Dabiri-Erewa attacked the accused actor, dismissing his plea for mercy in a now-viral video where he confessed to the crime. “So despicable! The act by Yoruba actor, Baba Ijesha, who defied a girl, at 7 years and later at 14 years! Who knows how many the pedophile could have damaged if he wasn’t caught,” Dabiri wrote.I sponsored the violence against person’s law. The penalty is nothing less than 14 years in prison. His plea, begging on some video I watched should not be acceptable.We should all do all we can to support the girl’s foster mother, Princess, to ensure this case goes to court and fully tried, and maximum sentence passed on him'' she wrote The post Baba Ijesha is so despicable - Abike Dabiri-Erewa appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Insecurity: Oyo to deploy Man O’ War operatives to schools

 Oyo to deploy Man O War operatives to schoolsMan O’ War operatives will now be deployed by the Oyo state government to primary and secondary schools across the state in a bid to curb insecurity.  Governor Seyi Makinde made the announcement on Thursday April 29 when he received national executives of the paramilitary organisation at his office.  A statement released by Taiwo Adisa, chief press secretary to the governor read;  “Man O’ War, as an organisation, I know is trying its best. I can testify to the role Man O’ War played during the elections that I participated in as governorship candidate in 2015 and 2019. So, I will renew my commitment in Man O’ War.“Yes, the nation is faced with insecurity challenges right now all over the place. We have insurgency in the north-east, banditry in the north-west. We have herders/farmers clash in the north-central zone of the country. And we thought those were far, remote, but now, they are at our doorstep. Here also in Oyo state, we have been dealing with kidnapping, farmer/herder clashes and people have suddenly become temperamental.“Before now, if you were walking on the street, you would see some issues arise and people would settle them amicably. But now, they will almost kill one another. So, this is a period that Man O’ War will need to double its efforts and look at programmes at the grassroots level where we can project more on the issue of citizenship and leadership for our country.“In schools, we have discussed with the honourable commissioner for education before now on the issue of security. Some of the schools are not properly fenced; hoodlums hibernate in schools.“I know they have put together a proposal on fencing and having demarcations for all of the schools, but this idea of deployment of Man O’ War for security and surveillance is a welcome idea. We will look at the proposal and we should be engaging either the national or state command team to ensure that this can see the light of day and I think it is something that we will do.”The post Insecurity: Oyo to deploy Man O War operatives to schools appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Benue Killings: Governor Ortom sees the problem of others and not his - Presidency

Governor Ortom sees the problem of others and not his - Presidency The Presidency has fired back at Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State after he called out President Buhari over the killing of some people in an IDP camp in the state on April 27.  Governor Ortom who angrily reacted to the killing, accused President Buhari of "just working for Fulanis to take over the whole country." The Governor also lamented that no fewer than 70 people have been killed in the last two weeks in three local governments in the Benue State. He said at that time;  “What is happening now, to me, is very clear; Mr President is just working for these Fulanis to take over the whole country.“His body language is what is being played out. The body language, the action and inaction of Mr. President shows that he is only the President of Fulani people; I have known this.” The Presidency which has now released a statement following his criticism, accused him of only seeing the problem of others and not his.  Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu who maintained that Buhari was saddened by the killings in the country as well as the governor’s accusations, stressed that "no responsible government takes pleasure in such events as the killing of the military and that of innocent citizens taking refuge in an Internally Displaced People’s camp." The statement read;  GOVERNOR ORTOM ONLY SEES THE PROBLEMS OF OTHERS,  HE DOESN’T SEE HIS OWNThe President expresses his condolences to the families of our dear citizens who lost their loved ones in the recent spate of killings in Benue State.Furthermore, he states that the rising levels of incidents, especially the killings and violence in various parts of the country call for further collaboration with security agencies to curb its recurrence.He also states his disappointment and sadness to hear Samuel Ortom, the Governor of Benue State make a litany of accusations against his person and his government following the recent unfortunate incidents in the state.No responsible government takes pleasure in such events as the killing of the military and that of innocent citizens taking refuge in an Internally Displaced People’s camp. President Buhari is deeply pained by the terrible acts of violence happening not only in Benue State but also in other parts of the country and expects that the law enforcement agencies will go to every possible extent to catch the perpetrators of these heinous acts and bring them to justice.The lives of fellow citizens should not be desecrated by deploying them in political diatribe which unfortunately appeared to be the intent of the string of emotional attacks and blame laid at the doors of the President for those killings by Governor Ortom. President Buhari took an oath to defend the life and property of every citizen, a duty he takes seriously and is committed to ensuring.Those citizens regardless of their affiliations, who either incite, sponsor or are proven to be abettors of these atrocities will face the law squarely and be answerable for their crimes against our fellow citizens and nation.President Buhari continuously stresses that the strength of our country lies in our diversity in faith, culture, and traditions and attempts to sharpen the divide between northern and southern Nigeria, between Muslims and Christians, and between communities that have coexisted for centuries should be frowned upon and resisted. As Nigerians, we accuse colonial rulers of the policy of divide and rule. Today, it is our own leaders who put region against region, religion against religion, ethnic group against ethnic group and community against community.The future of Benue State and indeed that of the entire country lies in harmony and respect for the law, order, and the constitution. It is the only way to achieve progress and development.While the President will continue to keep security, police and the armed forces on their toes to be on top of their act in troubled parts of the country, the situation in the states will greatly be helped by everyone working together because that is the foundation on which progress and prosperity can be achieved.Benue under the Ortom administration ought to cooperate with the Federal Government in the implementation of a number of national strategies programs in addressing underlying issues militating against peace, progress and development. This can still get done when the interest of the people is placed above all other interests. A government voted into office by the people, should treat the people as its masters and not as its servants.Garba ShehuSenior Special Assistant to the President(Media & Publicity)April 29, 2021The post Benue Killings: Governor Ortom sees the problem of others and not his - Presidency appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

44 people crushed to death, over 150 hurt after stampede at religious bonfire festival in Israel

At least 44 people were crushed to death and more than 150 people injured in a stampede after midnight Thursday, April 29, at a religious bonfire festival in Israel. The incident happened at a mass gathering to celebrate the Lag B’Omer holiday at Mount Meron, Israel, medics said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident "a terrible disaster."  The Magen David Adom rescue service said 38 people had been killed at the scene. It said its paramedics treated dozens of people, including 18 in a serious condition, 2 who were moderately hurt, and 80 lightly injured. All the wounded were evacuated to hospitals. The wounded were taken to the Ziv hospital in Safed, the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, Rambam hospital in Haifa, Poriya hospital in Tiberias, and Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital in Jerusalem. The Ziv hospital said six of the wounded had died and the Health Ministry confirmed that the total death toll was 44. Army Radio reported that children were among the dead and injured.  Several hospitals opened hotlines for people to search for family and friends who may have been injured. The Magen David Adom rescue service said the tragedy was caused by a crush and overcrowding. A police official said dozens of participants in a concert had "slipped," falling on those below them while walking along a slippery walkway and causing a crushing domino effect. MDA spokesman Zaki Heller told the Ynet news site that the deaths were caused by severe overcrowding. Huge crowds were attending the annual gathering in the northern Galilee, which include visits to the gravesite of the second-century sage Rabbi Shimon Bar Yohai and massive bonfires on the mountainside. "The rescue teams were called to one of the concerts near Bar Yochai’s tomb, where there was a terrible crush near a building. There were dozens trapped on a nearby stand and it took time to evacuate them," Heller said. "There are fatalities, it is a very terrible tragedy," he said, adding that it was a very complicated rescue effort that was still ongoing throughout the night. Pictures from the scene showed bodies covered in blankets and bags.    The post 44 people crushed to death, over 150 hurt after stampede at religious bonfire festival in Israel appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.

Man U. 6- 2 Roma: Edison Cavani and Bruno Fernandes help United put one foot in Europa league final

Manchester United came back from a first half capitulation against Roma to record a massive 6-2 win in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final on Thursday night, April 29. Edinson Cavani was simply superb during the game as he contributed two goals, two assists and won a penalty for the club which came back from 2-1 down in the first half to win this semi-final first leg tie 6-2. United were in control of the match from the start, with United starting Pogba Cavani and Rashford as a front three in front of Fernandes, Fred and McTominay.While Roma paraded Edin Dzeko and Manchester United's former players Henrikh Mhikytaryan and Chris Smalling In the first half AS Roma made  three substitutions including their goalkeeper due to injury.Pogba executed a superb turn that left three Roma players in his wake and found Cavani whose touch just inside the area was perfect for Fernandes to lift over the advancing goalkeeper. Just only four minutes later Pogba undid his good work by handing Roma a penalty after handling the ball while trying to block a cross from Rick Karsdorp.David De Gea , not too good with penalties, missed Lorenzo Pellegrini’s spot-kick, despite diving the right way.  Pogba then tried to retaliate with a long range shot that Pau Lopez saved, however the Roma goalkeeper dislocated his shoulder so had to be substituted. Roma then pounced again. The team took the lead through Edin Dzeko after hitting the ball home from close range after a slick move from the visitors. The first half ended 2-1.Then just three minutes after the break, Pogba found Cavani who exchanged passes with Fernandes before finishing superbly with a first time side-footed effort into the top right-hand corner.  Aaron Wan Bissaka’s 64th minute cross shot was spilled by the goalkeeper and Cavani was at the right place to poach it home.Cavani then caused a penalty after Smalling fouled him near the byline. Fernandes calmly placed the spot kick away and then on 75 minutes he provided the cross from Luke Shaw’s short corner for Pogba to head home and make it five goals for Manchester United. United were not done yet. Mason Greenwood came on to add number six after getting a great ball from Cavani with the outside of his boot to fire home.United will now travel to Roma next week for the second leg.The post Man U. 6- 2 Roma: Edison Cavani and Bruno Fernandes help United put one foot in Europa league final appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
