Beef rolls are the most popular, practical snack for the hungry Nigerian. Made from ground beef mixed with a little pink food coloring, wrap it in a doughy, salty, pastry-like bread and stored in a plastic wrapper and ‘gbam’, you have a snack sold on virtually every street corner in Lagos, every traffic jam, and expanding to markets all around the country. You would find Gala (which every sausage roll brand is mostly called) on top of young boys’ heads selling them in the middle of bumper to bumper traffic. The original Gala which is made by UAC foods is a snack Nigerians know they can trust but these days, there are reports of fake Gala. What makes the report below even more believable is the fact that the popular Chinese website, Alibaba has Gala filling for sale. Expectedly, the merchant who claims to be UAC Foods, is an unverified member of the platform. This report from BusinessDay captures an alarming trend in the sausage beef roll business.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho on BBC Sport: “It is not the result we wanted but it is a positive result, it is a result that stops a direct opponent getting three points at home so not a bad result. “The game was difficult for both teams but for longer periods it was more difficult for them than us. “We controlled the game not just tactically but the emotion of the game, that was probably the quietest Anfield I had and I was expecting it to be the other way. “I think was a positive performance. “If you analyse the game see the reason why did it, playing Young and Fellaini. We had control of the game – there were two amazing saves by David de Gea it’s true but they were out of context. “The reaction from their crowd was permanent disappointment. People expected us to come here and be really in trouble, which we were not. “The team was always comfortable, we lacked a little bit of sharpness in more attacking positions. There was a moment I thought abo...
