Liverpool cannot win the Premier League playing like Mourinho - Jurgen Klopp

Jurgen Klopp has defended Liverpool's playing style following a dour goalless draw with Manchester United, and stated his side will not win the Premier League adopting the Special One's tactics.

The Reds were frustrated at home on Saturday as Mourinho's United shut up shop, and were forced to settle for a share of the points in a 0-0 tie.

That result leaves Liverpool nine points adrift of Premier League leaders Manchester City after just eight games, and the 27-year wait for the title at Anfield looks likely to be extended for another season.

Klopp, however, feels that imitating Saturday's adversary is no recipe for success.

"Most things [Manchester United] did were completely clear. Why should I talk about them sitting back before the game? That's not my job," the German told reporters.

"Jose obviously did what he thinks is right, or what he wants to do, and that is OK. It doesn't make life easier for us but I can't moan and say 'Come on, open up a little bit'. That's not how it is.

"They want to win the league and I am sure we couldn't play like this in Liverpool after 125 years without the title. We cannot sit back and say 'Let's wait' — that is not possible."

Despite trailing seemingly unstoppable City so early in the season, Klopp refused to lose his optimism after seeing another result go against Liverpool.

"We have to do whatever is necessary and we will be challengers," he said.

Expelled refugee student kills seven in Kenyan school

An expelled student shot dead six of his former schoolmates and a security guard at his school in northern Kenya on Saturday, and was then himself lynched by a furious mob, officials said.

The attack took place at a school in the remote town of Lokichogio in Kenya’s Turkana region, close to the border with war-torn South Sudan. At least six other students were flown to hospital with bullet wounds.

The assailant was a 17-year-old from South Sudan - one of thousands of refugee children who have been living in Kenya and going to school there since civil war broke out in their country in 2013. He was detained in possession of an AK-47, the basic assault rifle of choice in conflicts across Africa and the Middle East.

“The school was not attacked by bandits but an errant student on expulsion for disciplinary cases,” regional government official Wanyama Musyambohe told reporters.

Security officials said the assailant, whose name has not been disclosed, had been arrested, but then killed by a mob while in police custody.

“The attack ... is a painful reminder of the state of insecurity along the border,” tweeted Turkana county governor Josphat Nanok.

Close to 2 million people have fled South Sudan since fighting broke out in December 2013, sparking what has become Africa’s largest cross-border exodus since the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Some 75,000 of them are now in Kenya.

Perennial conflicts have left the region awash with arms, which are smuggled across borders with relative ease.

Maya Jamal, the three-year-old daughter of a popular social media user, “White Nigerian” was seen in a 10 second video praying for the quick recovery of Mr. Buhari while he was in London receiving treatment for an undisclosed ailment.




Aisha, who is a 10-year-old from Bauchi, penned a letter seeking a face-to-face meeting with the president, which was posted by her niece, Huseini Gebi, asking for a retweet to make her dream a reality.

Her wish was granted as the three kids spent about 30 minutes with the president Monday morning.

Mr Adkhamov died before an ambulance arrived.

Cairo emerges riskiest megacity for women

Cairo was named on Monday as the most dangerous megacity for women by an international Media poll.

Women’s rights experts said that the treatment of women in the Egyptian capital has worsened since a 2011 uprising seeking social change.

Cairo came out worst when the Media asked experts on women’s issues in 19 megacities how well women are protected from sexual violence, harmful cultural practices and about access to healthcare and finance.

Women’s rights campaigners and commentators said women in Cairo faced daily harassment while a weakened economy and high unemployment since the uprising had eroded economic opportunities for women and seen health services deteriorate.

“The economy has become so bad in the last two, three years that we are suffering a setback in the thinking that women’s issues are not a priority,” said Omaima Abou-Bakr, co-founder of Women and Memory Forum, a non-government organisation set up to fight misconceptions of Arab women.

‘Investigation on Tagbo’s death not based on Davido’s video footage’

Following the release of a CCTV footage by Davido’s camp that showed a staggering Tagbo obviously intoxicated, leaving the Shisha Room,questions are still being raised regarding the events which happened after.

In an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats, Damilola Usman, who claims to be a family friend of the deceased, said the police investigation would not be based on the viral video released by Davido’s camp.


He explained that the police have since seen that footage but they also have in their custody, a CCTV footage which showed the way Tagbo was dumped in the hospital. Usman claims that he watched the CCTV obtained from the hospital and he recognised someone in the footage.

Usman said

, “Few days ago, I was told that during Davido’s visit to the police station, he brought the guys who dumped Tagbo’s body at the general hospital to the police station. The same guys that they saw in the CCTV were the once that were brought to the police station. The CCTV in the hospital showed the guys that dropped him and the way he was dropped at the hospital.

“From my observation, the police investigation would not be based on the CCTV from the Shisha Room where they went to drink. Davido is only trying to defend himself by releasing the CCTV video footage of the Shisha Room because the police already have that footage and they had seen it before Davido’s camp released the video. I believe they are going to base their investigation on the hospital’s CCTV.
“The question that Davido has been asked is why he asked people to drop Tagbo at the hospital and he is denying the claims. They are asking Davido that why his escorts would leave him to go and drop Tagbo’s body in the hospital. He is showing us the Shisha Room CCTV which revealed that the guy was drunk. We are all aware that he was drunk, but how did they treat him after realising that he was drunk? That is the question that he is being asked but he is trying to evade it. I saw the CCTV footage at the police station and he knows the guys that went to drop him at the hospital. They are his boys; one of them was wearing a red fez cap and an Adidas clothing head to toe. The guys that went to drop him are Davido’s friend. I saw one of the guys at the Shisha Room on that fateful day and later that night, I also saw him at the Elegushi Beach but I don’t know when they went to drop him at the hospital. The police already have all the evidence they need and they are investigating the matter.

“The footage that was released which showed that Tagbo was high at the Shisha Room is not the issue; the question is what happened after.
