Ethiopia 1-2 Nigeria: Emenike's brace shoots the Eagles closer to Brazil The Super Eagles went to Addis Ababa and conquered both the altitude and the Walya Antelopes in the first leg of their World Cup qualifier on Sunday

Emmanuel Emenike Nigeria Ethiopia Afcon 012913Nigeria conquered the high altitude of Ethiopia with a 2-1 victory as they signified a firm interest in making a fifth appearance in the World Cup in Brazil. Emmanuel Emenike was the hero for the Super Eagles as he scored the equalizer and the winner in the 89th minute. Ethiopia had gone ahead in the 56th minute when Vincent Enyeama mis-judged a cross from Assefa and the referee, Aliou Neant from Cameroon, ruled that the ball had crossed the line. The first half started with the Ethiopians on the front foot with their fans howling and making a terrific atmosphere. And it took just two minutes for the Eagles to concede a corner kick that was quickly followed by another. Emmanuel Emenike then drove the Eagles forward and won a corner kick in the fourth minute. The first shot in anger came in the eighth minute but No. 20 shot wide. After persistent fouling on Victor Moses, Tesfaye was shown the first yellow card of the match in the 12th minute. Nnamdi Oduamadi then missed the first gilt-edged chance when he mis-kicked Emenike’s cross. Ethiopia then went forward and Saladin Said thought he had scored but Godfrey Oboabona made a fantastic clearance to keep the match at 0-0. Ahmed Musa had a half volley smothered by Butako and then coach Ternat Bishaw called for a water break, a call that was really confusing to the visitors. Adane Girma should have scored for the Antelopes in the 38th minute when a loose ball from Moses fell to him but after dribbling three Nigeria defenders, he shot wildly over. Girma had another chance in the second minute of added time but Enyeama made a great save. The second half was not as frantic as it was in the first half and the first chance came for the Antelopes in the 55th minute but Enyeama read the bounce very well and cleared the danger. The Ethiopians then scored a goal that could best be described as a fluke because Enyeama mis-judged a cross byAssefaand the referee ruled that the ball had crossed the line before the Nigerian goalkeeper claimed it. Stephen Keshi made changes bringing in Nosa Igiebor for Nnamdi Oduamadi in the 63rd minute as the goal woke up the Nigerians who then went in search of the equalizer. The Super Eagles should have equalised in the 62nd minute when Moses went one-on-one with the goalkeeper but goalkeeper Tassew did well to save at the feet of the Liverpool man. Minutes later, Keshi withdrew Moses, who had an average game and brought on Brown Ideye. Their equalising goal came in the 67th minute whenEmenikeshot a thunderbolt from outside the box. Afterwards, the Nigerians went on the offensive. Musa hit the post in the 77th minute off a terrific pass by Mikel. Nigeria went ahead for the first time in the encounter in the 88th minute when Emenike was dragged down in the box for a clear penalty. The Fenerbahce player dusted himself off and cooly dispatched the penalty to give the Super Eagles the victory and one leg in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The second leg will be held in Calabar on November 16 at the U.J Esuene Stadium but the Nigerians will believe that they hold all the aces

CBN: New Smaller Denomination Notes Out In December

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Friday said that the new smaller denomination notes that will come in paper form would be in circulation before December. Mr Tunde Lemo, Deputy Governor, Operations, said this while briefing newsmen on the sideline of the ongoing Annual meeting of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The smaller notes are N5, N10, N20 and N50 notes. “The smaller denomination notes are being supplied by the printers and before December, you will no longer see tattered notes all over. “As I said, I have apologised to Nigerians that the reason we had old notes that are still in circulation was because of the issues around Project Cure. “We had earlier thought last year that we will transmit to a better note family which we code-named Project Cure. “But because of the issues around N5,000 notes and the resentments of changing the N5, N10 and N20 to coins, we had to go back to the drawing board and that was what has caused the delay. “According to him, the new smaller denominations will be in paper form with their features. “They will be on paper since we didn’t succeed in convincing Nigerians that those smaller denominations should be in coins. “But there will be a time in the future when we will all understand why they have to be coined. “But now, we are back to status quo ante; that is they will reappear in the old form that they were except that they are going to be in paper not polymer.” Lemo said that since 2009 the spending on printing of currency had been on the decline. He attributed that to the efficiency in distribution of the currency and printing of more of the higher denomination notes. “We used to spend N13 printing N1000 notes, if we had succeeded in printing N5,000 notes, we would have spent only N18; that meant that would have also reduced the cost of printing. “That was the message we were trying to transmit to Nigerians,” he added On the difference in the cost of printing in polymer and paper, he said that it was cheaper printing in polymer. “We would have spent less printing polymer because polymer substrate lasts four times longer than paper and it costs only 150 per cent more. “Unfortunately, whereas the substrate lasts four times longer, the ink fades pretty faster and so what’s the use of the substrate whose ink has faded and that was partly why we disengaged from polymer.” On the cashless policy, he said that there had been improvement in the use of electronic channels for money transactions in the country. Lemo said the volume of electronic fund transfer transactions were three times more than the volume of cheques. He added that N11 billion transactions were made through mobile payment last month, adding that more activity had been going on through the electronic channel unlike before. (NAN)/>

SHOCKING: Man Impregnates Wife, 16-Year-Old Daughter Same Time

There was drama in Kilgoris when a group of women stormed the home of
a middle-aged man believed to have impregnated his sixteen year-old
daughter.
The women marched into the homestead of Samson Momposh whose daughter
is nursing a one-month-old baby. Momposh is alleged to have slept with
the standard six pupil and fathered her child, an allegation he
denied.
His wife and daughter fell pregnant at the same time and are both
nursing babies of almost the same age alleged to have been fathered by
Momposh.
The women, armed with pangas marched Momposh to the Kilgoris police
station six kilometeres away and handed him over to police officers.
The man was remanded in custody and is set to appear in court next Tuesday.
DNA samples have been collected from father and daughter and have been
sent to the labs in order to establish the veracity of the
allegations.
