FC Rostov 1 Man United 1: Mkhitaryan earns Red Devils creditable draw at FC Rostov

Manchester United scored an important away goal as they earned a 1-1 draw against FC Rostov in their Europa League round-of-16 first leg.

The Olimp-2 stadium surface made a difficult trip all the harder, with Aleksandr Bukharov cancelling out Mkhitaryan’s first-half strike to leave the score at 1-1 ahead of next week’s return leg at Old Trafford.

Government should make it easier for people to adopt babies legitimately

LOOKING at the rise of baby factories in Nigeria, are there no laws against such acts?

The challenge we have with our law is that the process for adoption is very difficult. We have a very complicated process of adoption so people tend to prefer the child buying arrangement. I can understand why the government is very cautious in making these rules for adoption because of the type of society we live in. I believe we have a proliferation of baby factories because of our tough process of adoption. As long as the legal process of adoption is stressful, the black market will thrive. In finding solution to this, the government needs to relax the styles for adoption.
