President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the immediate reopening of four major land borders in Nigeria. The four borders are Seme in the South-west part of the country, Ilela in the North-west part of the country, Maitagari in the North-west part of the country, and Mfun in the South-south part of the country.

Nigeria’s finance minister, Zainab Ahmed, made this disclosure at the end of Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting. While the four borders are to be immediately reopened, “the ban on importation of rice, poultry, and other banned products still subsists and will be implemented by border patrol team,” Mrs. Ahmed said.

While Wednesday marked a public holiday in the republic, it was also a dark day in relation to COVID-19 cases. Health Minister Zweli Mkhize, in a late-night statement, said that the country surpassed 10,000 new cases which may warrant engagements for further lockdown restrictions.

Not only has South Africa breached the 10,000 mark for new COVID-19 cases but according to Mkhize, the daily cases are growing “exponentially.” The positivity rate is also sitting at 21% and this far exceeds the ideal positivity rate of 10%. Because of this new development, Mkhize says the country might be facing new lockdown restrictions.

5. Edinson Cavani: Man Utd forward charged over Instagram post

Manchester United’s Edinson Cavani has been charged by the Football Association for a deleted social media post containing a Spanish phrase that is offensive in some contexts. The Uruguayan sent the message after scoring United’s winner at Southampton on 29 November.

Cavani, 33, subsequently deleted the post and apologized when the meaning that could be attached was pointed out. The striker could be banned for three games if he is found guilty. Cavani has until Monday, January 4 to provide a response to the misconduct charge which United say they will consider, but repeated their message that they are committed to the fight against racism and stressed there was no malicious intent behind the forward’s post.
