Eid-el-Fitr: Cleric Urge Muslims To Extend Generosity Beyond Ramadan—-A cleric, Rev. Samuel Gorro, has urged Muslims to extend kindness to people beyond the Holy month of Ramadan.

Gorro, also the Executive Director, Centre for Peace Advancement in Nigeria (CEPAN), described the gesture as necessary “because Nigeria is currently experiencing economic challenges, with indigents being most affected.”

He made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Tuesday to felicitate with Muslims as they complete the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.

He said kindness to the indigents could help in reducing their difficulties and in encouraging them not to despair because of the situation, especially the hike in prices of food items.

NAN reports that the National Bureau of Statistics, in its Selected Food Prices Watch report for February 2024, said prices of food items such as beef, rice, beans, onion, white garri, yam, and bread have increased.

The cleric added that “the love shown during Ramadan, the care, and the support for the poor should continue, but this time not only by Muslims but also by Christians alike.”

He urged government to be proactive in seeking economic relief for people, suggesting the formulation of more pro-poor policies to cushion the effect of the price hike.

“Let there be policies that will impact the lives of the poor. I want to beg  government to do something that will reduce the suffering of the masses.

“As the Bible says, a good name is better than gold, let leaders write their names in gold in the heart of the masses by doing theneedful,” he said.

He prayed for an end to insecurity in the country, and urged government to take firm actions to address the situation.

The cleric congratulated Muslims for successfully completing the Holy month of Ramadan and prayed God to bless them for the donations they gave to the needy during the period.

Aston Villa Complete Alejandro Garnacho Signing from Chelsea on Season-Long Loan with Mandatory Buy Clause

Aston Villa Complete Alejandro Garnacho Signing from Chelsea on Season-Long Loan with Mandatory Buy Clause—-Unai Emery has landed one of his top transfer targets after Aston Villa reached an agreement with Chelsea for Alejandro Garnacho to join on a season-long loan, with a conditional obligation to make the move permanent.

Aston Villa have reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign Argentina international Alejandro Garnacho on a season-long loan, with a buy clause that will become mandatory if certain conditions are met. The move is expected to be finalized after the 22-year-old completes the remaining formalities following his medical in Birmingham.

The deal represents a significant show of faith from Villa manager Unai Emery, who has long admired Garnacho and had attempted to sign the winger before his move from Manchester United to Chelsea last summer. Emery is understood to have personally pushed for the transfer, believing he can help the Argentine rediscover the form that made him one of the Premier League’s brightest young talents.

Although structured initially as a loan until the end of the 2026-27 season, the agreement includes a conditional obligation to buy. The exact conditions have not been disclosed publicly, but reports indicate they are linked to performance or appearance targets and are widely expected to be met. Garnacho has already agreed personal terms on a four-year contract that will take effect once the permanent transfer is triggered.

Garnacho’s departure comes just one year after Chelsea signed him from Manchester United on a long-term contract. Despite arriving at Stamford Bridge with high expectations, the winger struggled to establish himself as a regular starter, managing only limited league starts as competition for places intensified under new manager Xabi Alonso. Chelsea’s recent club-record £117 million signing of Morgan Rogers further reduced Garnacho’s prospects of regular first-team football, making a move away increasingly likely.

For Aston Villa, the signing is another statement of intent as the club prepares for a campaign that includes UEFA Champions League football. Emery has built a reputation for revitalizing players whose careers have stalled, and Villa believe Garnacho’s pace, direct running and attacking flair can add a new dimension to their frontline. Club officials are confident the Argentine international still possesses the potential to develop into one of the Premier League’s top wingers under Emery’s guidance.

The transfer also continues a busy summer of business between Aston Villa and Chelsea. It follows Chelsea’s acquisition of Morgan Rogers in a British-record £117 million deal, with Garnacho now heading in the opposite direction as both clubs reshape their squads ahead of the new season. While the financial details of the future permanent transfer remain undisclosed, all parties are confident the move will become permanent once the agreed conditions are fulfilled.
