  Do you remember the point in time when some eighth-grade girls went viral for insulting the president, Nana Addo? We all know the trending news over the past 24 hours, especially on Twitter, is the surprise dismissal of the eight students from China Senior High School. The GES, just like the general public, decided to sack these eight high school students, though the girls themselves have publicly apologized for their unacceptable behavior that led to this dismissal. A lot of netizens have reacted to the dismissal of these students, but almost 70% of the public is actually against the dismissal of these students because a lot of people think this dismissal will actually ruin the lives of these students.

Al Nassr rivals Al Hilal preparing offer to sign Messi They are hoping to bring the Argentine to Saudi Arabia Al Nassr's local rivals Al Hilal are reportedly interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain forward Lionel Messi. The Saudi club are willing to lure the 2022 World Cup winner to the country after their competitors managed to land Cristiano Ronaldo on a two-year deal. Ronaldo parted ways with Manchester United by mutual consent after hitting out at his former coach Erik Ten Hag and the club's owner in a controversial interview with Piers Morgan. According to Mundo Deportivo, Al Hilal have been preparing an offer that would see Messi earn $300 million per year in the event he agrees to move to the Saudi side. It has to be noted that Messi is already linked to the country as he is currently Saudi's tourism ambassador. "Lionel Messi wants you to unleash your inner emotion seeker and discover the unimaginable," reads the 'Visit Saudi' website. "Wheth

The games Joao Felix will miss after Chelsea star sent off in Fulham Premier League clash

Joao Felix's start to life at Chelsea did not go as everyone associated would have hoped for. The 23-year-old was sent off by referee David Coote in the 58th minute after a dangerous challenge on Kenny Tete. Felix's dismissal came at the worst possible time for Chelsea after Denis Zakaria was forced off injured moments earlier. Fulham went on to win the game courtesy of Carlos Vinicius's header past Kepa Arrizabalaga to pile more pressure onto Graham Potter. Speaking after the defeat, Potter defended Felix's intentions with the challenge but admitted he understood Coote's decision. It was a reaction from the side and it was a forward's tackle," Potter said. "There was no malice. I understand the sending off. It is another blow. I thought he was good, you could see his quality in the game, so it is a double disappointment for us." The defeat compounds Chelsea's misery in 2023. Since the turn of the year, the Blues have played four games and fai

Diplomatic ties between the north African neighbours were severed by Algeria in 2021, and with that action, all direct flights between the two countries were suspended.

Morocco were due to begin their hunt for a third consecutive crown on Sunday against Sudan, but FMRF said in a statement: "(We) were informed on December 22 by Caf that an authorisation in principle had been obtain
