Nigeria defeat Benin to advance to the 2017 WAFU Cup final
   
     Nigeria have qualified for the final of the 2017 WAFU Cup championship after beating Benin Republic 1-0 in a tough semi-final match played on Thursday, September 21. 

     Kano Pillars' midfielder Rabiu Ali was the hero for the Super Eagles team B scoring the winning goal for Salisu Yusuf's men in the 10th minute. 

    Super Eagles started the match impressive with Anthony Okpotu and Ifeanyi tormenting the defense of the Beninese before the breakthrough finally came.

     An excellent assist from Lobi Stars' forward Anthony Okpotu gave Rabiu Ali the superb chance to score for the Super Eagles. But despite playing most of the game with 10 men, Benin players exemplified lots of great display which should have resulted into goals for them.

       Nigeria almost scored the second goal at the death through Afeez Aremu, but Benin goalkeeper Fassinou was at full stretch to deny the Super Eagles as the match ended 1-0.

       The Super Eagles of Nigeria will now face the winner between the second semi-final clash between hosts nation Ghana and Niger Republic in the final on Sunday, September 24.

Trump: North Korean leaders 'won't be around much longer' if they strike US If North Korea's foreign minister hoped to draw a response from U.S. President Donald Trump with his Saturday speech to the U.N. General Assembly, he succeeded. "Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at U.N.," the president tweeted late Saturday. "If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they won't be around much longer!" The president was referring to Ri Yong Ho, who on Saturday called Trump "a mentally deranged person full of megalomania," and promised that a strike on the U.S. mainland was "inevitable."  "Little Rocket Man" was Trump's now-infamous label for North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. With his tweet, Trump seemed to reiterate a previous asserton that any strike by North Korea against the U.S. or its allies would be met with an overwhelming response. The address by Ri in New York City began as the
