Manchester City goalkeeper Willy Caballero says he has repaid manager Manuel Pellegrini's trust in him with his Capital One Cup heroics at Wembley.   The Argentine saved three Liverpool spot-kicks as City won the final 3-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw. Caballero, 34, was criticised after a 5-1 FA Cup fifth-round loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge a week earlier. "It is well deserved for me to play this final," Caballero, picked ahead of first-choice Joe Hart, told BBC Sport. Caballero has started just four Premier League games since moving to the Etihad from Malaga in July 2014. He had started every round of the League Cup this season and boss Pellegrini said he would rather have lost the final than drop Caballero. The former Boca Juniors keeper kept out penalties by Lucas, Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana after the game had ended all square after 120 minutes. "It was incredible. To save three penalties and win a trophy is amazing,"

Some American celebrities have been accused of turning the Oscar event into a runway for the display of weird attires in a bid to look different and unique.   The world's biggest stars were gathered in Los Angeles yesterday for the 88th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood.

President Buhari is not yet over the disappointment raised by the 2016 Budget as he has ordered a proper investigation to fish out the suspects in the padding of the budget.   Fear has gripped top officials of the Budget Department of the National Planning Ministry as President Muhammadu Buhari returns to the country this week after spitting fire abroad over alleged padding of the 2016  Budget. This came to light on a day the President pointed out that all Nigerians must join him to prosecute the on-going war against corruption as he could not fight it alone. It was also learnt, at the weekend, that Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt.. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, have rejected the N10billion voted in the 2016 budget for the building of new official quarters for them, opting for a cut in the vote.    Angry Buhari Presidency sources confirmed to Sunday Vanguard that Buhari was very angry over the alleged  doctoring of the b

Kabiru Marafa   Some members of the House of Representatives have hit back at their colleagues who condemned Kabiru Marafa for allegedly desecrating the sanctity of the National Assembly. Mr. Marafa, an All Progressives Congress Senator representing Zamfara Central, had asked his colleagues to remove Senate President Bukola Saraki, in view of the latter’s corruption trial at Code of Conduct Tribunal, or risk being recalled by Nigerians. He also alleged that “fifth columnists” in the Senate were responsible for the 2016 budget controversy just after the Supreme Court ruling that upheld Mr. Saraki’s trial. He was referred to the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions which laid its report since last week, but without the accused’s defence. However, Mr. Marafa remains ad

A statue of Jesus in Korea is causing a lot of reaction on social media because of its unusual depiction of the Christ.     This photo above has caused ripples online after it emerged recently.   The cause of reaction is the unsually muscular depiction of Jesus. Many internet users have argued that if Jesus Christ was that huge, he would probably not have been crucified at all. In fact, many opined that the opposite would have been the case as Jesus would have been the one crushing the people with his strength.   The photo was shared by an IMGUR user by the username, Geekologie.   He said:  "This is a Korean crucifix featuring a very muscular Jesus. I'm not entirely sure where it's located, but presumably outside the Church of Gains. Honestly, if Jesus really did look like that there probably never would have been a crucifixion, just 'the day Jesus killed all the Romans swinging a cross.'"

The Federal Government has been freed from thousands of ghost workers engaging in the wastage of governmental resources without service.

Members of Christian Praying Assembly have expressed optimism that their General Overseer, Rev. King who was sentenced to death will return as they cursed witches and wizards for his fate. Christian Praying Assembly (CPA) General Overseer, Chukwuemeka Ezeugo (aka Rev. King)   Church members of Christian Praying Assembly (CPA) whose General Overseer, Chukwuemeka Ezeugo (aka Rev. King), who has been sentenced to death by hanging have said the sentence is the handiwork of witches and wizards.   However, the members revealed that nothing will happen to their overseer as he will be let loose to return and join them.   Rev.

They still believe that their General Overseer will soon be let loose by a divine intervention. During the f

The naira has resumed its recovery against the dollar in the black market after suffering a setback.   There are strong indications that the efforts of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stabilise the naira may have started yielding the expected results according to the Leadership. A CBN official last week noted that the deployment of a number measures by the bank may have turned the tide in the foreign exchange (FOREX) market and led to the severe punishment suffered by currency hoarders and speculators. The CBN had earlier insisted that speculators were behind the market bubble since the upper week which dealt negatively on the naira, sending it down to an all-time low of almost N400 to the dollar. The CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, had accused speculators who connived with bureau de change operators to undermine the efforts of the bank of propping up the naira and warned that such speculators would eventually be punished by the market. Last week, it became
