Gabonese footballer Mario Lemina's 'UK record speeding fine' of £96,000 is now reduced to just £2,000 after court made a blunder

Gabonese footballer Mario Lemina





Gabonese and Southampton midfielder, Mario Lemina, who this week received a 'UK record speeding fine' of £96,000 has now had it reduced to just £2,000 after the court made a blunder.

On Monday, the 25-year-old midfielder was handed 18 points on top of the 21 he already had after his rare £50,000 Mercedes was caught breaking the speed limit three times.

He claimed that he did not know whether it was his brother or cousin were behind the wheel of his £50,000 Mercedes-AMG GLA45. But he admitted three counts of failing to notify police after ignoring their letters.

Lemina was hit with the £96,000 fine and banned from driving for a year.

In a new report by Mail Online, the court which fined him the huge sum has dramatically backtracked after its error and now reduced it by a huge £94,124. He must now pay only £2,301, just seven percent of his £32,272 weekly wage.

The court's blunder also means TV presenter Ant McPartlin still holds the record for UK's biggest motoring fine after he was fined £86,000 for drink driving in April.

''President Buhari is healthier than 80% of Nigerians'' Chris Ngige

By
Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, says President Buhari is healthier than 80 percent of Nigerians. The Minister  said this about President Buhari when he spoke with journalists in Awka, Anambra State. According to Ngige, the age of President Buhari does not in anyway impede his leadership skills. He drew example from Malayia where he said when the nation was in chaos, they had to bring in 93-year-old, Dr Mahathir bin Mohamad, to lead it as a prime minister. When he was asked to speak on the seeming fatigued persona president Buhari has been noticed to have in recent times, Ngige said “That man (Buhari) you see there is healthier than 80 per cent of Nigerians. I’m a medical doctor; I can tell you authoritatively that he is healthier than most people who see his health as an issue. He sits for over eight hours during our executive meetings. While some of us would be going for tea break to stretch our legs, Mr President...

Adire is the most commercialised of our traditional dyeing and weaving techniques, with Adire prints popping up everywhere from Orange Culture to Maki Oh.
