Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka, says President Goodluck Jonathan is worse than neo-Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, describing Jonathan as a President that embraces impunity. Soyinka at a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday blamed Jonathan for the fracas at the National Assembly in which lawmakers resorted to scaling the gate of the Assembly complex in order to gain access to their chambers after being prevented by the police. He said although Jonathan was democratically elected, his actions had proved that he was more of a dictator. He said for instance, the split in Nigeria Governors’ Forum last year in which 16 governors had the final say over 19 other governors showed that the President was willing to do anything to achieve his political goals. Soyinka said the barring of governors by policemen from entering Ekiti State to campaign for former Governor Kayode Fayemi in June showed that Jonathan was not only a dictator but was encouraging impunity by encouraging security agents

For all the talk of Manchester United’s revival in recent weeks almost all of their Premier League victories at home have been unconvincing. But against Hull City at Old Trafford on Saturday they produced their most accomplished performance of the season, and it bodes well for Louis van Gaal’s evolution of this side. Against the likes of Crystal Palace, West Ham and Everton United haven’t effectively controlled matches on home turf, despite acquiring the points on all three occasions. That trio of victories came virtue of a world class-selection of players pushing the result over the line in the face of opposition frustration. On all three occasions endeavour and a little bit of luck were required to reach the desired result. In short, there was a lack of domination. After dismantling Hull, Van Gaal was at pains to use that word regularly in his post-match analysis, and with just cause. “We have dominated the game from the first minute to the last minute,” the Dutchman told reporters.

The traditional scrum of sharp elbows was notably less intense on Black Friday in the US this year. The crowds, gathering at the US's big shopping centres, appeared to have exhausted some of their shopping enthusiasm on Thursday. As last year, many retailers had opened their doors early to try to pull shoppers in ahead of rivals. "The consumer clearly enjoys shopping on Thanksgiving," said Target's chief executive, Brian Cornell. And, when opening the New York Stock Exchange for Friday's shortened day of trading, he welcomed the way the holiday season "has moved from an event on Black Friday morning to a multi-day event." Many shoppers headed straight to the shops whilst still digesting their Thanksgiving turkey on Thursday, forming queues outside Macy's by 6pm on what is becoming known as "grey Thursday".
