Barcelona’s hopes of a second Champions League in a row, two trebles in two years, were broken. For only the second time in eight years they have failed to reach the semi-finals; both times they were crashed out at this stage and by this Atlético side. There will be much to pick over after the referee, Nicola Rizzoli, judged that a handball in the 91st minute had occurred outside the area, not in it. Lionel Messi took the free-kick, sending Barcelona’s last chance over the bar and four nervous minutes later this stadium erupted once more. Atlético had three attempts on goal inside seven minutes and, if one was an easy catch for Marc–André ter Stegen, there were genuine chances for Gabi and Griezmann.

Not for the proleteriat, but only the privileged and dignified. The poor enter at their own peril. It was off limits to them. But then, the Hausa say “Seriki goma, zamani goma” (Ten kings for ten epochs) and then times and seasons would change. The Forbidden City, located over vast hectares of land, with over 8,000 buildings and 1,800,000 sets of artifacts, fell to the 1911 Revol...

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), has revealed that it will introduce a device that will henceforth check collusion during its examinations across the country. The council’s Head, Media and Information, Mr Damianus Ojijeogu said this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Lagos.

Ojijeogu explained that, “The device will be able to detect if candidates have jointly answered a particular multiple choice question, which we refer to as “item’’. For instance, if out of...
