Mourinho Gets Three Match- Ban, £6,000 Fine For Grabbing Galatasaray Coach - Sports

Image
  Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has been banned for three matches and handed a fine of around £6,000 ($7,734.00) after grabbing the nose of Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk in the Istanbul derby, the Turkish Football Federation said on Saturday. The incident occurred at the end of the Turkish Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday, in which Mourinho’s side lost 2-1 at home. A mass scuffle had broken out between both sets of players, with the referee sending three players off, two from Galatasaray, and after the final whistle the 62-year-old Portuguese appeared to pinch Buruk’s nose who then fell dramatically to the ground. “Mourinho shall be banned from entering the dressing room and the bench for three official matches,” TFF said in a statement. Mourinho will miss the games against Trabzonspor, Sivasspor and Kayserispor. Fenerbahce are second in the Super Lig, trailing leaders Galatasaray by six points with a game in hand.

Tinubu Administration: Many Spokespersons, Zero Communication - Politics

Image
  By Temidayo Akinsuyi There is no denying the fact that President Bola Tinubu has the highest number of media aides in the history of Nigeria, in the same manner his government boasts of the highest number of ministers. However, this cacophony of voices appears to be singing disjointed music, with the songs sounding fragmented, uneven or more like a ‘broken record’, like former Special Adviser to former President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, is wont to say . In June 2023, the president appointed Dele Alake, his former Commissioner of Information during his tenure as Lagos State Governor, as Special Adviser, Special Duties, Communications and Strategy, making him the first media aide to the president. Soon after, he was named the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, a development sources claimed was orchestrated by a powerful cabal in the villa who do not want Alake to have direct access to the president as his chief spokesperson. Many Nig...
