England Young Stars Make History, Win first U-20 FIFA World Cup

England’s 51-year wait for a global title ended on Sunday with a pulsating victory in the Under-20 World Cup final defeating Venezuela with a lone goal.

A strike by Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the first half was enough to beat a spirited Venezuela side at the Suwon World Cup Stadium in South Korea.

Goalkeeper Freddie Woodman was another hero for England, as his saved penalty ensured England lifted a World Cup for the first time since Bobby Moore held aloft the 1966 FIFA World trophy.

Sack Of Service Chiefs: I’m Vindicated-Keyamo

Lagos lawyer, Festus Keyamo says he has been vindicated by the sack of the Service Chiefs by President Goodluck Jonathan in compliance to a court’s judgment.

Keyamo had last week issued the president 14-day ultimatum to sack the service chiefs in compliance of a court’s judgment, threatening to head back to court to enforce compliance.

The Federal High Court in the case of Festus Keyamo Vs. President and 4 others, had declared the previous appointments of the service chiefs null and void.

Less than one week after Keyamo’s threat, Jonathan on Thursday sacked the service chiefs and re-appointed new ones which followed the due process.

In the president’s ring of change, Air Marshal Alex Badeh was sacked and replaced by Admiral Ola Sa’ad Ibrahim as Chief of Defence Staff, while Major-General Kenneth Tobiah Jacob Minimah replaced the sacked Lt.-General Azubike O. Ihejirika as Chief of Army Staff. Read the rest of the story @ The African Examiner
