Guardiola: I never promised titles at Man City

Pep Guardiola has suggested the media were wrong to believe that he could transform Manchester City into a side contesting for the treble, insisting he made no promises upon taking the job.

City, who were dumped out of the Champions League by Monaco in midweek, face Liverpool in a crunch match at the top of the Premier League on Sunday, as both sides vie for second place behind runaway leaders Chelsea.

"I am the manager, I am responsible absolutely for everything that happened [in Monaco]," Guardiola said.

"Maybe you [journalists] are wrong – Pep is sitting here, now they are going to win the treble. Easy.

"You are wrong. I never came here and said we are going to win one title, I never said I am going to win the treble, I never said I am going to win the double – never said it.

UPD REMEMBERS KOMLA AFEKE DUMOR

Komla Dumor

As Africa's-Ghana and the world commemorate the third anniversary of your sudden demise, it is still fresh on our memories. We are yet to recover from the shocking public announcement made on 18th January, 2014, "...BBC Focus on Africa host, Komla Dumor is no more..."

United Press for Development-Ghana is ever proud of the unmeasurable legacy you have bequeathed to Ghana, Africa and the world in professional media practice.

You inspired the youth, built not just nations but generations with your sweet gentle looks, impeccable voice and matured communication skill in news coverage and broadcasting. Komla, you are truly Africa's gift to the world (as stated by former President of the Republic of Ghana John Dramani Mahama). The heroic and historic torch you have lit in media and global development will never quench, "boss player".


Your ascension to global media platform and earning a place in 100 Most Influential African Youth is more than a weapon to the present Ghanaian youth to shine amidst the mighty challenges and difficulties facing us.

May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

As a matter of fact, Ghana is blessed with several hidden talents in media, sports etc. in the remote areas of the country. Though amateurs but with a little capacity building among others, the country will benefit from a pool of millions of Komla Afeke Dumor's talent.

As we appeal to media persons to remain resolute in the discharge of their professional duties with standard ethics we call on civil societies, NGO's (local and international) and government to support media houses in their quest to tell the African story and undercover rot in society.

We finally admonish media practitioners to make time for their healthcare, exercise, rest and respect their dieticians menu for good health (avoid late eating among others)

Long live the legacy of Ghana's Komla Dumor

Long live Africa

Long live the world

Step down by Wednesday midnight or be forcefully removed – ECOWAS warns Jammeh

Yahaya Jammeh

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), has told President of The Gambia, Yahaya Jammeh, that he has until midnight of Wednesday to vacate office or be removed with force.

Jammeh is refusing to hand over to president-elect, Adama Barrow, despite initially accepting defeat in last month’s presidential election.

President Muhammadu Buhari and other notable African leaders have tried to convince him to step down, but Jammeh has remained adamant.

“From what I gathered, they are extending the olive branch till midnight of January 18th. If he does not (handover power) by 19th, the troops will take over,” a Ministry of Foreign Affairs Staff told Thisday Newspaper.

Nigeria has reportedly asked British military advisers to assist in planning a “rapid reaction” military incursion into Gambia, in order to install Adama Barrow as the country’s new president.

Barrow is currently in Senegal  and will not return home until his inauguration on Thursday.
