Chelsea star, Raheem Sterling has said that he and his teammates are disappointed with their abysmal performance this season. Sterling who joined the Blues from Manchester City last summer for a fee in the region of £47.5 million ($59.7m), shared his teammates’ frustration during an interview with The Sun. He further stated while he enjoyed his time at his previous club and won a lot of trophies, he is seeking to solve the new challenge at Chelsea. Sterling said; “We are disappointed when we come off the pitch and feel angry and disappointed. There are times when we finish a game you just sit in the changing room looking into space because you can’t understand what has just happened. It’s tough to take. You are always trying to look for a positive solution. There will be conversations, players trying to come to terms with what has happened in the last ten minutes or so. It’s not easy. “We need to look in the right direction and look to whoever comes in as the next manager to build for the future. I enjoyed my time at my previous club and won a lot of trophies. But I like a new challenge and this is the challenge I signed up for. It will taste even sweeter to win silverware coming from a moment like this than if you were winning every single week. The ability in the dressing room is undeniable and if we have someone who can take control of that we are more than capable of challenging every year.” Chelsea currently sits 12th on the EPL table in what has been described as their worst-ever Premier League campaign.

FG clarifies reason bus evacuation of Nigerians cost $1.2m
The Nigerian Government gives clarification on why it cost the sum of $1.2 million for the buses that were used to evacuate Nigerians from Sudan. The government stated that the amount was negotiated under the “condition of war.” This information was provided in a joint statement released on Saturday by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development.
The statement was signed by Amb. Janet Olisa, the Director overseeing the Office of the Permanent Secretary, MFA, and Dr. Nasir Sani-Gwarzo, the Permanent Secretary, FMHADMSD. “The general public is also advised to discountenance unverified information being circulated on social media as some of them are either due to ignorance or sheer mischief. The outcry over the negotiated sum of $1.2 million for the buses hired for the exercise, is uncalled for. “The amount in question was negotiated in a condition of war and where there are competing demands for the same bus services by other countries also trying to evacuate their citizens. Therefore, cooperation and understanding of all and sundry are required to complement ongoing efforts aimed at ensuring the safe return of every Nigerian trapped in Sudan,” the statement clarified. An undisclosed transport company was paid N150 million by the Central Bank of Nigeria through the National Emergency Management Agency on Tuesday at 12:37 pm, The Punch reported. This money was released by the government to hire 40 buses to transport stranded Nigerian citizens from Sudan to Cairo, Egypt, due to the current crisis in the country.
