Guinea international Florentin Pogba admits his mother will find it difficult to watch him take on younger brother Paul in the Europa League. 
On Thursday, Florentin's St Etienne play the first leg of their last-32 tie at Manchester United's Old Trafford. 
"It's not going to be easy for her but at the same time what a fantastic moment it'll be for her to see her sons playing out there," the defender said. 
"Maybe the best result for her will be a draw." 
"But we'll be going all out to get the best result for ourselves. Whoever wins she'll be happy in some respect."
Paul, 23, is the world's most expensive player, having joined United for $111m from Italian champions Juventus in August, and represents France, where he was born.

Founder of Ventra Media Group.

Wober started Ventra Media Group, which is a digital media business to provide brands and media owners’ cutting edge expertise to deliver and grow their businesses on digital platforms. When he relocated from the UK to Africa a lifetime ago, Wober thought it would be a simple process of employing the same processes in the UK to the Nigerian landscape and everything would be hunky-dory.

Experience however would teach him otherwise. What is the Mantra he lives by these days that keeps him f…

Pierre Omidyar, the billionaire founder of giant online shopping website eBay, is set to donate a daily income to some 26,000 poor people living in 200 rural villages in Kenya for a period of 12 years.
According to the Business Insider website, Mr. Omidyar will donate the money to the charity GiveDirectly, which is part of the Omidyar Network, as an experiment to see if giving people free money can help alleviate poverty, improve the economic standing of poor people and generally help them lead a better life.
Explaining the importance of the programme, the french-born Iranian-American entrepreneur  said: 'Even though we know that cash transfers in developing countries help reduce poverty and improve outcomes for families, these have not been tested on a long-term basis or with a universal beneficiary pool.'

A Report also has it that the programme has already kicked off in one village and it intends to give selected people Sh75 a day for a period of 12 years.

A 64-year-old woman from a small town in northern Spain gave birth Wednesday to twins after undergoing in vitro fertilization in the United States.
Her name has not been released.
It was a full-time pregnancy and the babies - a boy and a girl - are in good health condition, El Mundo reported.
The woman gave birth to another child, a daughter, six years ago by the same method and in the same hospital, but lost custody in 2014 after a family court found she had been neglectful, according to the paper.
Social services employees said they found the little girl was often isolated, appeared unclean and had a high rate of school absenteeism.
She is the second oldest woman to give birth in Spain, after Carmen Bousada, had twins at age 67. The woman died three years later.

Justin Bieber has been named the suspect in an assault that occurred last June in Cleveland. No charges have been filed.
According to TMZ, a man alleges that The Biebs grabbed his sunglasses in a hotel in downtown Cleveland. 
The guy says he took a picture of Justin with the shades, which sent the singer into a rage. He says Justin's crew also got involved in the ruckus.
The alleged victim says he went to the hospital with various injuries, including a concussion.
He claimed that he's been trying to settle with Justin since last June, but isn't getting anywhere with that, so he filed a police report.
The incident went down while Justin was in Cleveland for the NBA Finals last year.
Video of the fight, obtained by TMZ via Snapchat, showed a large man and Justin face-to-face in a heated conversation. At one point, the man appears to lightly smack Justin on the head and the "Sorry" singer loses his cool, unleashing a right handed fist at the man's face.

Education Minister Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh has warned that basic and second cycle school heads who record 90 percent or more failure in their final exams will be sacked.
He says the persistent poor performance of the students in the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) is unacceptable demanding that the school heads justify their continued stay in their positions.
Addressing heads of senior high schools (SHS) in Kumasi as part of a two-day familiarization tour to the Ashanti Region he emphasised that the Ministry would not continue to accommodate school heads who superintend over consistent poor performance.
Dr Prempeh noted that in public schools, the heads have justified their continued stay in office over the performance of the students when the same cannot be said for the private schools whose continued operation is dependent on the performance of their students in the WASSCE. 
"Any school head who superintends over a failure of over 90% cannot…

Kanye West did something unusual as a fashion designer: He kept good time Wednesday to unveil his Yeezy Season 5 collection, including new bulky, thick-soled Boost runners, as he projected models onto a huge four-sided screen in a dark boxy space, then sent out some to walk the regular way.
And then it was over, in 13 short minutes.
Always highly anticipated during New York Fashion Week, this time around West stayed in town after last season's sweltering field trip last September to Roosevelt Island that had models and guests alike practically fainting from the heat. Some in the fashion elite had put him on notice they would walk out if he was hours behind schedule as in the past.
He wasn't, and thank you, Kanye. And thank you for the serene music before the show.

Accompanied by wife Kim Kardashian West — who was dressed in a wine-red coat, top and pants — the rapper's show was pitch black at the start, with views of the crowd obstructed by his giant video projection…

President Donald Trump's nominee for labor secretary abruptly withdrew his nomination Wednesday after Senate Republicans balked at supporting him, in part over taxes he belatedly paid on a former housekeeper not authorized to work in the United States. 

Fast food executive Andrew Puzder said in a statement provided to The Associated Press that he was "honored to have been considered by President Donald Trump to lead the Department of Labor."

Democrats and their allies rejoiced over Puzder's withdrawal, saying his corporate background and opposition to such proposals as a big hike in the minimum wage made him an unfit advocate for American workers at the top of an agency charged with enforcing protections.
They also made it clear that Puzder's statements about women and his own workers would be major issues at his planned confirmation hearing Thursday.
"Workers and families across the country spoke up loud and clear that they want a true champion for a…

The energy think tank, Institute for Energy Security has said that Ghana’s fuel supplies were expected to face serious disruptions due to the unanticipated shut-down of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), and port congestion facing the oil companies.
 But the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) has responded and explained that the claims should be disregarded since there were enough stocks.

According to the Principal Research Analyst of the Petroleum Unit of the Institute, Richmond Rockson, the current situation was compelling oil companies to postpone their import and export programmes; amid acute discharge and loading constraint.

"As a result, stocks of the two main petroleum products consumed in the country have fallen short of the mandatory strategic level of 6-weeks, at a time when economic activities have picked up across the country after the General Election and Christmas festivities.
According to him, at the close of business Tuesday, the country’s stock of Gasoline and …

The Australian Catholic Church has paid A$276m (£171m; $213m) to victims of sexual abuse since 1980, an inquiry has heard.
The money was divided between thousands of victims, the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse was told.
The data, released on Thursday, showed the average payment was A$91,000.
The landmark royal commission was set up in 2013 and is also investigating abuse at non-religious organisations.
The Catholic Church made the payments in response to 3,066 of 4,445 child sexual abuse claims between 1980 and 2015, the inquiry heard. More than 40% of claims were received by a handful of male orders.
They included compensation, treatment, legal and other costs, said Gail Furness, the lead lawyer assisting the commission in Sydney.
Numbers 'likely to be greater'
"The royal commission's experience is that many survivors face barriers which deter them from reporting abuse to authorities and to the institution in which the abuse occur…
