Man United target Harry Kane: I'm happy to stay at Tottenham HARRY KANE has told Manchester United he is happy to stay at Spurs. United want to sign the England striker but Kane only penned a new contract in February and says he is committed to his boyhood club. He could be playing Champions League football next season if he encouraged United to follow up their reported £40million interest but Kane reckons he is already on the right stage. “Tottenham are a big club,” Kane said, “and that is the way people have to see it. “I am at a big club now, I am enjoying my football and that is the way I am looking forward to next season."

But that is all I know. It is flattering for other clubs to maybe be interest...

U.S. inflation stirring as energy-driven price plunge ebbs U.S. consumer prices in May recorded their largest increase in more than two years as gasoline prices surged, suggesting the drag on inflation from lower oil prices was fading. Other data on Thursday showed the economy was regaining momentum after stumbling in the first quarter. The number of Americans filing new applications for unemployment benefits fell last week to a near 15-year low and factory activity in the mid-Atlantic region accelerated to a six-month high in June. Price stability and a strengthening economy, highlighted by the tightening labor market, likely will push the Federal Reserve a step closer to raising interest rates later this year. Still, rate hikes will probably be gradual as a strong dollar continues to dampen underlying price pressures. ADVERTISING "We think inflation will grind higher over the summer and open the door to a September rate hike. At th...

In the wake of the new administration, the nation was almost been grounded to a halt on account of the petroleum crisis with major oil marketers refusing to back down on their demands.

The pervading atmosphere in Nigeria’s socio-economic and political space is that of Change. The Change mantra has become the buzzword in the Nigerian social media arena with ingenious jokesters expanding their trade...
