2019 election: Yul Edochie hints at running for president

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has said he may seek election as Nigeria’s president in 2019.
Edochie contested the November 2017 Anambra governorship election on the platform of the Democratic Peoples Congress (DPC).

He ran against 36 other governorship aspirants, including the eventual winner, Willie Obiano.
Edochie, who just turned 36, secured only 145 votes in the election.
However, he is confident of winning in 2019, if he decides to run for the highest office in the land.

“So, it’s my birthday today, 7th of January, 2018. I just turned 36, so happy birthday to me.

“2018 is just unfolding, we pray for more blessings so let’s just keep our fingers crossed. Who knows, I may just decide to run for president of Nigeria this time, in 2019, and I will win,” Edochie stated in a video posted on Instagram.

Trump blasts African countries using vulgar language

- President Donald Trump has lashed out again at Haiti and other African countries

- He said Haitians and African immigrants are from ‘shithole’ countries
- He said that the US should not be allowing immigrants from the said countries

President Donald Trump on Thursday, January 11, referred to Haiti and African nations as "shithole countries" during a meeting with a group of senators at the White House, NBC News reports.

Trump reportedly asked the

lawmakers: "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?"

The remark, made during talks on an immigration deal, was allegedly in reference to people from Haiti, El Salvador and African countries.

“Why do we need more Haitians, take them out,” Trump reportedly said

Trump questioned why the United States would want people from nations such as Haiti while he was being briefed on changes to the visa lottery system.

According to an aide who spoke with NBC News, while discussing with the senators, Trump asked why America would immigrants from "all these shithole countries".

The president said that the US should have more people coming in from places like Norway.

Dailyinfox could gather that the White House issued a statement that did not deny the remarks.

The statement read: "Certain Washington politicians choose to fight for foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the American people," White House Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah told NBC Thursday, as part of a lengthy statement that did not directly dispute the language reportedly used in the meeting.

"He will always reject temporary, weak and dangerous stopgap measures that threaten the lives of hardworking Americans, and undercut immigrants who seek a better life in the United States through a legal pathway."

Trump's comments have been condemned by Haiti Ambassador to the US, Paul G. Altidor

Altidor called Trump's comments “regrettable” and based on “clichés and stereotypes rather than actual fact.”

It’s not the first time reports have surfaced of Trump speaking unfavorably about immigrants, and Haitians and Nigerians in particular.

Earlier reports gathered in December  that Trump said Haitian immigrants "all have AIDS," during a summer 2017 meeting about immigration

Trump also targeted Nigerian immigrants during that meeting, complaining that once they came to the United States they would never "go back to their huts."

In another report, the White House, however, vigorously

denied the claims in the story at the time.

Wenger Defends Ozil From ‘Liability’ Criticism After Stoke Defeat

Wenger Defends Ozil From ‘Liability’ Criticism After Stoke Defeat

Arsene Wenger has defended Mesut Ozil after he came in for criticism for his performance during Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat at Stoke City on Saturday.
Television pundit Steven Gerrard was left unimpressed with the Germany international after a fairly anonymous showing.
“He’s left me frustrated – we’ve seen him on his day when he fancies doing both sides of the game he is a world-class talent,” he told BT Sport (via the Mirror ).

“I just worry about his reaction and body language – when the ball is turned over he offers his team-mates zero. Away from home he’s a liability – he just doesn’t do enough.

“It’s clear to see that out of possession he doesn’t want to know – he only wants to be on the ball, trying to create and making things happen.
“But world class players do both – when they lose possession they put a shift in for their team-mates and it was clear that didn’t happen.

“Arsene Wenger has got to address it as out of possession you’re a man down.”

Wenger was then asked about Ozil’s contribution after the game, and spoke out in response to the criticism the World Cup winner had received.

“I think he did fight,” he said. “It is difficult to single anybody out. I believe we had many, many chances and personally I don’t think he deserves [criticism].”
It was a poor display all round by Arsenal on Saturday, and huge improvements will be needed next weekend if they are to get a result at Anfield.
