Neymar rescued by Barcelona staff as car crash sees him almost miss flight ahead of must-win La Liga clash in Basque country
According to Catalan daily sport, Neymar suffered accident while driving his Ferrari to airport with club officials having to come and pick him up.
He was en route to the airport to meet up with the rest of his team-mates when he crashed his Ferrari Spider — and destroyed most of the left side of the car.

Despite the mental trauma of the accident, it has been reported that the 24-year-old is still ready to take to the pitch tonight.
It has been a difficult period for the former Santos ace with a potential two-year jail sentence looming over his head — and six-game goal drought.

ONDO DECIDES
Results have begun to trickle in from the various wards where voting have ended in the Governorship election in Ondo state.

INEC’s original statement is the final and sacrosanct result and we await it.
Meanwhile, below are the results as they trickle in.
The RESULT from Akure South ward 3, polling unit 024A-

SHOCKING!
It came as a shock this morning when one of the aspirants for the governorship race in Ondo State, Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim made a shocking statement that he deliberately entered into a legal battle with one of the aspirants, and apparently, the incumbent governor's choice in order to waste his time and forestall his chance of winning the election. Here is what he said in the video below.

Poem: Oh Africa!
Oh Africa!
How are thy mighty fallen?
The giant of Africa laid bare her secrets and
Like the wise king uttered all her heart.
Left her door ajar to all and sundry;
Little did she know that not all who called her friend
Were coming with good hearts.
Raped was she by strangers with frozen faces,
Left to die but not forgotten.
All who love her sing songs to eulogize her.
Her past glory can be awakened by sons and daughters Who throng round about her.
Africa my Africa, the giant of Africa,
Shall we sing heroic songs again?
How are thy mighty fallen?
The giant of Africa laid bare her secrets and
Like the wise king uttered all her heart.
Left her door ajar to all and sundry;
Little did she know that not all who called her friend
Were coming with good hearts.
Raped was she by strangers with frozen faces,
Left to die but not forgotten.
All who love her sing songs to eulogize her.
Her past glory can be awakened by sons and daughters Who throng round about her.
Africa my Africa, the giant of Africa,
Shall we sing heroic songs again?

THE SUPREME COURT DECIDES ON ALL ELECTIONS CASE OF ONDO POLLS
The Supreme Court on Thursday referred back to the Court of Appeal, Abuja, all pending cases relating to the dispute over the leadership tussle between the Ali Modu Sheriff and Ahmed Makarfi factions of the Peoples Democratic Party.
The appeals which the apex court referred back to the Court of Appeal have to do with questions bordering on which of the factions of the party has the authority to instruct lawyers to represent the party in a pending case before Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The five-man panel of the apex court led by the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onoghen, also, in a separate unanimous ruling, struck out all pending appeals relating to the candidacy of the PDP for the Saturday’s governorship election in Ondo State.
Justice Onnoghen, who read the lead ruling, held that the pending appeals before the apex court had become academic in view of the judgment of the Justice Ibrahim Saulawa-led panel of the Court of Appeal, Abuja delivered on Wednesday, reinstating Eyitayo Jegede as the PDP’s governorship candidate in the Ondo State election.
The Acting CJN informed parties to the appeals on Thursday that the apex court was not ready to hear the cases piecemeal.
He directed that the appellants should raise the issues in their interlocutory appeals in, when they file substantive appeals which they wish to file against the Court of Appeal’s judgment delivered on Thursday.
The appellants led by Biyi Poroye are the state executives of the Sheriff faction of the party in the various states in the South-West zone, are backing Jimoh Ibrahim, who was only removed and replaced with Jegede as the party’s governorship candidate in Ondo State by the judgment delivered by the Court of Appeal, Abuja on Wednesday.
The appellants’ lawyer, Mr. Beluolisa Nwofor (SAN), told the apex court on Thursday that he had not been able to file an appeal against the Wednesday’s judgment of the Court of Appeal because copies of the judgment had not been ready.
