A letter to my 15-year-old self | Jessica Valenti

Jessica Valenti at The Guardian - 1 minute ago

I’ve been reliving my teenage years recently. Here’s the advice I’d give myself – and young women like me – about dates, drink and why mom knows best The thing about writing a memoir is that you must relive - in embarrassing, painful detail - all of the mistakes you made as a younger person. And then share those mistakes with the world! In the week after my book, Sex Object, was published, one question seemed to come up again and again - a question that presumed this reliving of past mistakes gives one some special insight: What advice would you give to a young woman? When it come... more »

Marek Hamsik’s sumptuous strike gives Slovakia the edge over Russia

Jamie Jackson at the Stade Pierre Mauroy at The Guardian - 1 minute ago

Russia threatened to grab a late draw just as they had against England. Oleg Shatov’s cross was headed home by the substitute Denis Glushakov and the sense of a repeat of Saturday was heightened by a flare going off among what appeared to be a Russian section of fans. Leonid Slutsky’s team pressed and pressed but were unable to find an equaliser and Slovakia held on to give the perfect riposte to losing their Group B opener to Wales. The result raises the stakes for England as they try to beat Gareth Bale and co on Thursday in Lens. Do that and England will lead the group with fou... more »

N24bn poll cash: EFCC tightens noose on ex-Gov Chime

By Francis Igata ENUGU
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, yesterday, tightened its noose on the immediate former Governor of Enugu State, Mr. Sullivan Chime in connection with N24 billion cash allegedly disbursed by Fidelity Bank on the instruction of former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke during the re-election bid of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Chime drove himself to the EFCC’s zonal office in Enugu in an SUV with registration number ENU CV 960 ENU, clad in brown native suit in the company of his orderly, one Tony, whom Chime said he handed over the N450 million for safe keeping. The former governor arrived the anti-graft commission’s office at exactly 10:58a.m. This was even as fiery Enugu-based lawyer, Ray Nnaji, had, demanded from the EFCC, the prosecution of former Governor Sullivan Chime. Before Chime’s arrival, one of his close aides, Ikeji Asogwa, immediate former Chairman of Peoples  Democratic Party, PDP, Enugu State chapter, equally  reported yesterday at the Commission in a vehicle marked ENU 06D-01EN. It was gathered that their appearances were in keeping with the conditions of administrative   bail granted them last week Monday, by the commission. Mr. Charles Egumgbe, who also served in Chime’s government and was the chairman of the PDP campaign organization, also showed up at 10:10a.m. for interrogation. Egumgbe was the pioneer chairman of the PDP in Enugu State. It would be re-called that  the EFCC had  last Wednesday, grilled Chime for allegedly receiving N450m out of the $115m, N23 billion, disbursed by the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, during the build-up to the 2015 presidential election. During the interrogation, the ex-governor was said to have told detectives that he handed over the money to the secretary of the campaign office, Mrs. Rita Mba, who was also the state’s Commissioner for Special Duties and Inter-Government Affairs then. Chime was quoted as saying that  the money was brought by two of his former commissioners, Joe Nmamnel and Mrs. Rita Mba, in the company of  PDP, Enugu State chairman, Ikeji Asogwa, and Prof. Osita Ogbu.
