Teenager Rio Ngumoha, Chelsea’s Big Loss, Liverpool’s Sumptuous Gain

Teenager Rio Ngumoha, Chelsea’s Big Loss, Liverpool’s Sumptuous Gain

Sports
By Andy Hunter & Jacob Steinberg There was vindication as well as a place in the Liverpool history books for Rio Ngumoha with the ice-cool finish he swept past Nick Pope at St James’ Park on Monday. The 16-year-old has announced himself on the English Premier League stage, as every one of his coaches predicted he would, though it is debatable his name would have registered so quickly without a bold decision taken a year ago. Ngumoha was considered one of the brightest English prospects in the Premier League academy system when he stunned Chelsea last summer by leaving for…

With Ambassadors Like KWAM 1…

Opinion
By SHEDDY OZOENE I’m not one of those impatient Nigerians nagging President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his refusal—two years after assuming office—to appoint ambassadors for our foreign missions. The man clearly knows something we don’t. Our foreign missions, despite being headless, are not collapsing. In fact, the embassies are even more vibrant without those tie-wearing “Your Excellencies” burning our dollars in diplomatic cocktails.
