RESTORATION STARLETS OF BAYELSA RECORD EMPHATIC 4-1 VICTORY OVER CAPE VERDE YOUTH TEAM...

...AS "AGUERO' SCORES GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT SO FAR..

Bayelsa’s Restoration Starlets opened their campaign in the Africa Youth Cup in Cape Verde on Sunday evening with an emphatic 4-1 trouncing of the Cape Verde youth team, Misto Barlavento, in their first game.

The Teibowei Diepreye tutored side silenced the home fans just five minutes into the game when gangling Alison William scored the first goal from the spot after being brought down in the 18 yard box by the Cape Verdian number 5.

Barely two minutes later William struck again with a glancing header from a corner kick floated in by Tarabina Beweriebo, the team's captian, to put the BAYELSA lads two goals ahead .

Hard fighting Barlavento urged on by the voiciferous home crowd managed to pull one back after a crosd into the Stralet's 18 yard was not swiftly dealt with.

This goal emblodened the home side who pilled more pressure but the Restoration boys held on firmly till the close of the first half.

At the resumption of play Restoration Starlets took the game to the hosts applying presuure on the defence line of the Cape Verdian team and in no time gangling number 9 , Williams outsmarted his marker to slot in the 3rd goal of the match.

The Misto Barlavento boys were undaunted and tried to outplay the BAYELSA side but the Nigerian lads held their ground until the the middle of the second half when Emomotimi Precious also known as Aguero dribbled his marker on the run to riffle home the fourth goal in a move that can be adjuged the best goal of the tournament so far.

Efforts by the Cape Verdian boys to close up scores failed as the Restoration boys held on gallantly until the final blasts of the whistle to record a comfortable 4-1 victory in their first match and the second match of the tournament.

The Nigerian team shall take on the Ivorian youth side by 5pm Nigerian time on Monday 21st April.

The court had also directed the Commissioner of Police, the Commander of the Joint Task Force (JTF) and all security agencies to facilitate the enforc...

SYLVA, A DESPERATE POLITICIAN UNDER THREAT FROM HIS CONSCIENCE - DICKSON

...SAY HE RUNS WHEN NOBODY PURSUES HIM The Bayelsa State Governor, the Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson, on Wednesday described former Governor Timipre Sylva as an unpopular and desperate politician whose conscience remains his greatest threat. Dickson said in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media Relations, Mr. FIdelis Soriwei, that Sylva cuts the gnawing image of a troubled man screaming and fleeing at the sight of nobody. Dickson was reacting to a claim by Sylva that the governor was behind a plot to pitch the Chief òf Staff to the President, Mr. Abba Kyari, against him through orchestrated media reports. Soriwei said that Governor Dickson is too involved and indeed occupied with the execution of the mandate the Bayelsa people gave to him, to be distracted by the hallucinations of a politician whose lifeline in politics was the state òf the mood of his political masters. The Governor’s media Aide said that it was queer and absurd that Sylva did not point to any p...
