Lacazette landmark but Lyon held by Nantes (LFP)

Alexandre Lacazette scored his 150th goal for Olympique Lyonnais but it wasn't enough to give les Gones all three points against FC Nantes on Friday night.

The Lyon talisman scored his 150th goal for the club, overtaking Bernard Lacombe - who was in the stadium on Friday - as les Gones' second-top scorer of all time. Evann Guessand got the better of Lovren soon after the restart, but Riou raced off his line to deny the OGC Nice-owned striker (51'). A Florent Mollet set piece nearly made it all the way inside Riou's far post, but the keeper made sure with an agile save (34').

APC and Bayelsa Guber Election: Between David Lyon and Timipre ... (Nigerian Sketch)

We make bold to say that as of today, 17th of March, 2023, the Minister is yet to turn in his resignation letter. It is in light of this sad development in our party, that we members of the Progressive Consultative Forum (PCF) of Bayelsa state, wish to stem down the tide and reclaim the state back for APC. But, his presidential interest was not lost on the party’s power brokers and the electorates in Bayelsa who have noted his lack of guts. In 2007, Sylva, who contested the governorship on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won to succeed Goodluck Jonathan. It is on record that the Minister of State, Petroleum Resources only won in one of the eight local government areas of the state. For Bayelsa, a state with an uncanny voting pattern, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has to come to terms with the political ambition of two main contenders, Chief Timipre Sylva and Chief David Lyon.

French protesters set fire to Lyon town hall in nationwide uprising ... (Daily Mail)

Protesters have ransacked and attempted to set fire to a town hall in Lyon, France, during violent protests against French President Emmanuel Macron's ...

They have called the new retirement age unfair - particularly to low-skilled workers in manual jobs who start their work earlier than someone with a degree would. Through the new law, an additional €17.7 billion will be made in pension contributions (£15.5 billion) each year. Just 33 per cent of 60 to 64-year-olds are employed in France. Protests and demonstrations have been ongoing for months. Macron decided to invoke the special power during a Cabinet meeting a few minutes before a scheduled vote in the National Assembly, where the legislation had no guarantee of securing majority support. From September, the retirement age will increase by three months each year until 2030. Opposition lawmakers demanded the government to step down. Macron could reappoint Borne if he chooses, and a new Cabinet would be named. It would also spell the end Macron's retirement reform plan. The new retirement age will be 64, rising by two years from the current age of 62. Trade unions mobilised workers to briefly block a Paris ring road. France, like many richer nations, faces lower birth rates and longer life expectancy.
