The regime would be flagged off with a massive publicity event by the Nigeria Communications Commissions (NCC).

Manchester United 3-0 Aston Villa: Van Persie hat-trick seals Premier League title


The Dutchman slotted home from two yards inside two minutes before latching on to Wayne Rooney's 50-yard pass to score one of the goals of the season with a stunning volley from outside the area. 

The hat-trick was completed after just 33 minutes with a neat finish from six yards after more fine work from Ryan Giggs.

Jonny Evans and Phil Jones were preferred in central defence, while Giggs partnered Michael Carrick in the centre of the pitch in just two changes from the side who drew 2-2 with West Ham.

Paul Lambert made just one alteration, as Gabriel Agbonlahor shook off a groin injury to demote Jordan Bowery back to the substitutes' bench.

With the mood jovial among the home support inside Old Trafford ahead of kick-off, the hosts wasted no time in upping the ante as Giggs knocked Rafael's looping right-wing delivery across goal for Van Persie to hand United a vital lead after just 83 seconds.

Sir Alex's side were relentless in the opening stages. Van Persie skimmed the top of the goal a mere minute after notching his first before Ron Vlaar blocked a near-certain Shinji Kagawa goal from inside the six-yard box and Rafael struck the post with a low drive from 18 yards.

And it was no surprise when United notched their second with just 13 minutes on the clock, and the goal was a thing of beauty. With time and space inside his own half, Rooney looked up and delivered a long, hanging pass forward for Van Persie to run on to and hit a thunderous volley past a motionless Brad Guzan from outside the area.

Van Persie was in inspired mood, even by the Premier League top goalscorer’s standards, and clinched his hat-trick inside 33 minutes when Giggs found him inside the six-yard box. He escaped the tame attentions of a hapless Villa defence and finished smartly, in off the post.

Villa, of course, were still fighting for their top-flight status and saw their goal difference severely damaged as they attempted to keep distance between themselves and 18th-placed Wigan.

Karim El Ahmadi replaced Charles N'Zogbia at half-time as Lambert attempted to shore up his shell-shocked defence,  and it proved relatively successful as Villa slowed the tempo of the game down in the second half.

United, though, were going through the motions, allowing Villa to build up a head of steam, but the relegation-threatened side were as sloppy in attack as the hosts had been clinical and often only had themselves to blame when seeing chances go begging.

Andreas Weimann looked to have given Villa a glimmer of hope soon, heading Ashley Westwood's corner past David de Gea, only to see Van Persie head off the line at the back post.

El Ahmadi then tested De Gea with a dipping half-volley from 30 yards, that the goalkeeper did well to tip over the bar before, up the other end, Kagawa shot high and wide from inside the area after neat footwork to find space.

However, it was all cheers and dancing as the full-time whistle confirmed United's record-breaking 20th league title, going above Liverpool in the all-time rankings, and taking the trophy back to Old Trafford from local rivals City.

See The Crazy Things This Lady Did Just So A Man Could Marry Her



If you're a single lady and have been under pressure to find a man that will put a ring on your finger. This is the time to get your acts together and position yourself properly. Stop playing hard to get, especially if you know that age is not on your side and it's worse if you are not even a beautiful girl.

This lady selected men when she was young. Now men are 'scarce' for her. See her story below:

Show Me The Market Where They Sell Husband, I Will Buy One...
I have heard the question ‘are you married?’ more than the birthday wishes I receive annually. At first, I used to sheepishly answer ‘no oooo, not yet’, then I continued to ‘very soon’. After a while, I started claiming it by fire by force, claiming that the man is on his way to meet me. All these haven’t changed the fact that some years down the line, I am still not married.

I have been in relationships that were good and some bad. The good ones happened when I was much younger and not ready to settle down; but the bad ones have taught me the lesson of a lifetime. My last one got me dishing out my money on a regular basis. All he had to do was come up with some story of being unable to carry out some projects due to some financial incapability. I was earning twice as much as he earned, would take a cab to and from his place on weekends. Sweet Lover Boy would just stand by the cab and wave me bye when he was leaving. I would cook his favourite dishes too; all he had to do was say what he wanted to eat. All these were with my very hard earned Naira. I never missed a moment to surprise him – buying gifts, calling him hourly- all because I wanted a ring on my finger.

It eventually collapsed after I met his mum. Because, seemingly for no reason, she did not like me and found me not worthy of her son. It was too late to count my losses. How can I forget? He even lost his job mid-way into our 8 months relationship and yes, the virtuous woman in Proverbs 31 would have had to contest with me if she had a face. I was fending for both son and mother. Lover boy would always complain of B if he got A and complain about D when I made sure he eventually got B.

Before you start saying ‘maybe, you are not good looking’, I dare say that if it was beauty that kept a man, then Prince Charles would never have left Diana. I am 5’7 and pretty. However, the men I have met after my ‘tales in hell’ relationship are either married or about to get married. That is not a life I would want for myself. Before you also say maybe you gave too much away by cooking his meals or being generous or sympathetic, I say to you ‘how can you please the world’?

The guy I dated before Sweet Lover Boy got me something new every time we met, took me to places I had only dreamed of, but I never got him anything. At a point, he felt I was stingy. I never called with my airtime despite his purchases of same for me. When we eventually broke up, he told me to my face that I did not love him. In retrospect, I loved him, but I was with the mindset that giving a man anything would cheapen the reason of their existence. It hurt me when we broke up and then I resolved to give and give and give and give in my next relationship.

Almost all of my friends and colleagues are married, and from the look of things, it seems like a good place to be in. The ‘my husband’, ‘my wife’ tales are good to listen to sometimes. To love and be loved is the sweetest thing that could ever happen to anyone. I desire that. In the meantime, I am where I am, fasting and praying for this man.

Like couples long for a child and ache at the sight of toys or children parties, I long for an engagement ring and to splatter my wedding pictures on Facebook (whether high profile or not), I long to gist others about ‘my husband did this or said this’ (whether true or not).

Until he comes, I am here, focusing on other things, moving my life forward, being a better person every day. Technology has a bank for sperm or eggs for couples experiencing infertility, sadly, there isn’t any for men.

So, friends and colleagues, church members and distant relatives, until you show me the market where to buy one from, please stop asking me if I am married.
