Welbeck answers critics in style

Danny Welbeck answered critics who have
questioned his goalscoring ability in
emphatic fashion on Wednesday with his
first senior hat-trick in Arsenal's 4-1 win
over Galatasaray in the Champions League.
The 23-year-old England international has
impressed with his work rate and link-up
play since signing from Manchester United
on transfer deadline day, but doubts
remained about his predatory instinct in
front of goal.
He scored during a 3-0 Premier League win
against Aston Villa last month but spurned
a host of chances in his three other
appearances before the visit of the Turkish
side.
Yet he produced three exquisite finishes at
the Emirates that helped belie his
supposed lack of composure and
ruthlessness.
So much time has elapsed since Welbeck's
last hat-trick, he forgot to collect the match
ball - customary for a player after scoring
three times in a game.
"I forgot the match ball! I'll get it after. I'm
not used to it," Welbeck joked on Sky
Sports.

A former Vice-President of the country, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, said that he is more experienced than President Goodluck Jonathan in the field of running the country.

In an interview with French news agency (AFP) on Friday, the Adamawa State-born politician blamed the escalating spate of insurgency and violence in most parts of the North- East especially Borno, <a href="https://gidesmx.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/wpid-atiku-abubakar.jpg"><img title="Atiku-Abubakar.jpg" class="alignnone size-full" alt="image" src="https://gidesmx.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/wpid-atiku-abubakar.jpg" /></a> Yobe and Adamawa States on Jonathan. According to Atiku Abubakar, Jonathan’s administration had done nothing significant to address the fundamental issues and to improve the lives of the populace. “This insurgency shouldn’t have lasted even six months. Within weeks, we (Obasanjo and I) crushed it because we did not neglect military training and, of course, we did not lack the leadership and the capacity to take decisions. “I told Nigerians that Jonathan did not have the capacit...
