Kylian Mbappe scores twice as France knocks Lionel Messi's Argentina out of World Cup

Lionel Messi's World Cup is over. The Barcelona star's hopes of crowning a glorious career by winning football's biggest prize was ended as a France team inspired by Kylian Mbappe overwhelmed Argentina.
With Messi having turned 31 this month, those in attendance at the Kazan Arena -- and the millions watching around the world -- could have witnessed the Argentine's final appearance on the grandest stage of all.
But while Messi's career is closer to its conclusion than beginning, those watching this last-16 tie caught a glimpse of the future as Mbappe announced to the world that he could be the man to take Messi's mantle as the world's best player.
The 19-year-old ran the show in France's 4-3 victory, scoring twice -- becoming the first teenager since Pele in 1958 to do so -- and winning a penalty for his team's opening goal.

Couple uses son as collateral for 8000 naira Family of  Ajala Samuel a 15 year old boy thought they could briefly use him to raise  some money for some urgent family needs. But four months after he has been handled over to a Lagos trader, identified as Iya Meta, who in return gave them N8,000, the boy is no where to be found. Sources confirmed that Iya Meta allegedly loaned Samuel to some other traders on the Lagos Island, who paid even more for the boy, N72,000.  The traders were alleged to have further given him out to another family in the state. It's more like a relay race in which runners pass baton to one another. Two policewomen, identified as Titi and Funmilayo from the Ijora Badia division, were accused of harassing the family to refund the N72,000 paid to Iya Meta, failing which Samuel would be forced to work till October 2017 when the contract would expire. His stepfather, Idowu Isiaka, told PUNCH Metro that the family’s problem star...

Photos of the Traditional Wedding of Chidinma and Tochukwu Despite the white nature of weddings which is common all over the world including Nigeria, Nigerians have failed to forget their traditional engagement ceremony which is held sacred.  More especially in the Igbo tradition,  even without the white wedding, once you have done the Traditional,  you are good to go.  Wedding vendors have therefore blended their work towards ensuring that out legacies from the past are held sacred as far as traditional weddings are concerned.  Traditional event hall decorations,  wedding cakes e.t.c have become the order of the day.

They noted that getting persons who had tested positive for the virus to the isolation centres remained one of their strategies to contain the spread of the deadly virus.  Lagos State had on Thursday said it was considering adopting home treatment option for patients with mild symptoms, noting that it would soon release the guidelines for the treatment option.
