5 players who have let Louis van Gaal down at Manchester United this season    Louis van Gaal's future at Manchester United is in question, after a dismal recent run put paid to the club's Champions League hopes while also seeing them slip nine points off the Premier League lead. The Red Devils may not have been playing free-flowing, champagne football earlier in the season, but the Dutchman had an organised, hard-to-beat side who were picking up points.

APC in the land of ‘Fabu’        FABU” is a Yoruba slang denoting an exaggerated lie.  It points to a tall tale; a gross distortion of the truth.  “Fabu” is a shortened form of the English word “fabulate,” which refers to the composition of fables or stories featuring a strong element of fantasy and lies.  Without a doubt, within the Nigerian political stratosphere, APC is a party that lives in “fabuland.”   Art of fabulation: The chief exponent of APC fabulation is Lai Mohammed. He was formerly the party’s National Publicity Secretary, a post in which he distinguished himself.  This has now earned him promotion to the post of Minister of Information and Culture.  In this new capacity, Mohammed has already begun to fine-tune his art of fabulation.  No sooner had he become Minister than he went ahead to tell Nigerians that fuel scarcity would soon be a thing of the past. These are his words delivered with characteristic aplomb at the Abuja office of Daily Trus
