Neymar strikes as Brazil sink Colombia

Neymar scored the winning goal as
Brazil defeated Colombia 2-1 to
maintain their 2018 World Cup
qualifying resurgence on Tuesday.
Barcelona superstar Neymar swept
home a 74th-minute strike at Manaus’s
Arena Amazonia to settle a pulsating
encounter between the two rivals.
It was a sweet victory for Neymar,
who has unhappy memories from
recent encounters with Colombia.
The 24-year-old suffered a
tournament-ending injury against
Colombia during Brazil’s ill-fated 2014
World Cup campaign.
A year later Neymar was sent off in a
stormy battle between the two sides at
the 2015 Copa America in Chile, and
subsequently banned for four matches.
Neymar’s second-half winner came
after Brazil had taken the lead in the
second minute through Inter Milan
defender Miranda, heading home his
first ever international goal on his
31st birthday.
But Colombia fought back and forced
an equaliser when Marquinhos headed
into his home net nine minutes before
half-time.
The win saw Brazil move into second
place in the overall standings, just
ahead of Argentina on goal difference
in South America’s marathon
qualifying competition for the 2018
World Cup.
The five-time World Cup winners now
have 15 points from eight games, one
point behind leaders Uruguay who
thrashed Paraguay in Montevideo
earlier Tuesday.

As the guns cracked in the early hours of January 15, 1966 from the officers and men loyal to some mutineering middle rank officers of the Nigerian Army, led by Major Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, 11 prominent Nigerian politicians and some senior army officers met their fatal end in its trail. Gone with the coup that spanned across the cities of Lagos (then federal capital ), Kaduna, (capital of Northern Region), and Ibadan, (capital of the Western Region) were the Nigerian Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello, Premier of the Northern Region, Chief Samuel Akintola, Premier of the Western Region, and minister of finance, Festus Okotie Eboh. Ostensibly targeted at the ruling political clas
