Following a humiliating loss to Italy, England was demoted to Nations League B. - Feed9ja

After losing 1-0 to Italy at the San Siro in the Nations League, the Three Lions of England were demoted to the UEFA Nations League B.

In order to have a chance of determining their fate in Group A3's decider against Germany on Monday, the Three Lions needed to at least win in Milan.

Gianluca Scamacca headed Federico Dimarco's cross onto the bar in the eighth minute, and Nick Pope barely touched the ball to aid it hit the crossbar. The Italians nearly took the lead right away.

Despite the stakes, the game lacked a spark after the early Italy chance as neither team was able to generate many more clear opportunities in the opening period.

In the 68th minute, Giacomo Raspadori scored the game's first goal for the Azzurri with a powerful effort into the far corner from within the penalty area.

With six minutes left, Italy nearly increased their advantage, but Dimarco's attempt at the far post deflected off the post.

The team led by Roberto Mancini hung on to hand England their third loss in five international games.

In their worst stretch of performance in eight years, the Three Lions have now dropped three of their previous five international games and have gone over 452 minutes of play without scoring.

Real life dragon’ found in Mongolia: Origins revealed - see video

By
  A video purporting to be footage of a “real life dragon,” allegedly “caught” in the wild, has been doing the rounds on Twitter – and not for the first time. The present iteration of the viral video has picked up more than 160K likes on Twitter. Daily Loud shared it and encouraged their followers to “decide” if the supposed “dragon” is real or fake. On Reddit, people have already started joking that it’s the body of Arrax, Lucerys Velaryon’s late dragon from House Of The Dragon. Are ‘real life Mongolian dragons’…real No. Dragons – at least, dragons with long necks and long tails and wings – don’t exist in real life. But even with its unreality established, a question remains. It might not be a “real dragon,” but it is a real animal? Strange animals have washed up on beaches before, prompting confusion. One Reddit user suggested, perhaps sarcastically, that the video actually shows a “bear with mange.” They might not be serious, but they’re giving voice to a natural human instinct:...

By
In order to serve as a warning to others in the industry, the Nigerian Copyright Commission (NCC) claimed it conducted a raid in Enugu and seized unlawful digital cable networks worth N250 million. The Real Summit Television studios, located in Nsukka, Enugu State, were sealed by the Commission on September 21. According to information acquired, the television channel reportedly stole the programming from other digital satellite transmitting stations like DSTV and Startimes. The Commission demobilized the station at Ugwuoye, Nsukka by taking away the devices needed to collect signals for onward transmission before sealing the station there.

Nigerian pharmacists are leaving, says the chairman of the PSN - Feed9ja

By
The Osun state chapter of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria (PSN) raised concern over the recent wave of pharmacists leaving the nation as they celebrated World Pharmacists Day with their counterparts around the world. Responding to inquiries from journalists in Osogbo, the capital of Osun state, on Sunday, Professor Moses Akanmu, the state's PSN chairman, said that pharmacists from various professions today prefer to look for greener pastures abroad rather than practice in Nigeria. While bemoaning the recent surge in the production of phony pharmaceuticals, he revealed that the association would deworm 2,000 youngsters throughout the state's municipalities in honor of its 30th anniversary, which coincidentally happened to fall on the same day as Pharmacist Day internationally. "Many pharmacists are emigrating from the nation," he said. People are departing, including academic pharmacists, industrial pharmacists, hospital and administrative pharmacists, and commun...
