UPDATED: Romelu Lukaku sends Belgium to 2018 World Cup

Romelu Lukaku’s goal allowed Belgium to become the first European nation to clinch qualification for the 2018 World Cup on Sunday as much-fancied France were held to an embarrassing goalless draw by Luxembourg. Manchester United striker Lukaku headed in a Thomas Meunier cross in the 74th minute in Piraeus for the decisive goal in a 2-1 Belgium win that guaranteed them top spot in European qualifying Group H. All the goals came in a frantic five-minute spell, with a low drive by Jan Vertonghen putting Roberto Martinez’s side ahead in the 70th minute. Portuguese-born midfielder Zeca equalised for Greece only for Lukaku to grab the decisive goal — his 10th in seven qualifiers — a minute later. With just two matches remaining, Belgium enjoy an unassailable eight-point lead over second-placed Bosnia and Herzegovina, for whom Edin Dzeko netted twice in a 4-0 win over Gibraltar. Belgium join Brazil, Iran, Japan, Mexico and hosts Russia in guaranteeing a plac

Biafra: We shall stop at nothing to resist Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest – Asari Dokubo

Ex-Niger Delta warlord, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, has revealed how the move by the Nigerian Government to rearrest leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, will be resisted. Asari, the leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Force, NDPSF, spoke in a video where he also expressed doubt that it was President Muhammadu Buhari that returned from London. Addressing “fellow Biafrans”, Asari said the same stone the biblical David used to crush Goliath is still available for Biafra. “Biafrans, today we are going to look at a very dark cloud trying to envelop us. And that cloud is the re-arrest of Nnamdi Kanu. “After the return of the thing they said is Muhammadu Buhari, which I doubt very much, the cabal around that thing they brought home from London needed to feed that thing with blood. The blood of Biafrans, you and I. “How can our blood flow? The only way our blood can flow unstoppably is the rearrest or the attempt to rearrest Nnamdi Kanu.

Here's the letter Barack Obama left for President Trump at the White House

During his final moments in the Oval Office, President  Barack Obama  folded into thirds a handwritten letter to  Donald Trump. The 275-word letter captures an outgoing president eager to instill in Trump the vast responsibilities and uncertain parameters of the job. Read the full letter below... Dear Mr. President - Congratulations on a remarkable run. Millions have placed their hopes in you, and  all  of us, regardless of party, should hope for expanded prosperity and security during your tenure. This is a unique office, without a clear blueprint for success, so I don't know that any advice from me will be particularly helpful. Still, let me offer a few reflections from the past 8 years.
