As brilliant and utterly irrepressible as Lionel Messi is, there have been a few occasions during his illustrious career when opponents — and certainly opposition fans — have suggested that he has received “special treatment” from referees.

What is certain is that, between scoring his first and second goals against Algeria, he got lucky. A challenge on Algeria captain Aissa Mandi, who was caught by Messi on his right calf and Achilles tendon, could have earned at least a yellow card — and plausibly a red card — but Polish referee Szymon Marciniak was content to award a free kick.

It was a strange incident. Mandi was in control of the ball, going nowhere fast, and there was little prospect of dispossessing him from Messi’s position. To make a lunge like that, with his studs up, seemed incomprehensible, never mind dangerous.

Special treatment? At the very least it was lenient refereeing. A yellow card would perhaps have been the most widely expected outcome — a red card second — but Messi was certainly lucky to get away scot-free.

The rains are here so let's talk lightning injuries, shall we?

Prof. Ryan Blumenthal describes it as 'one of nature's most notorious killers'. In South Africa, it kills 80-100 a year with up to 700 others sustaining serious injuries and may later suffer psychiatric conditions. He adds "your chances of being struck by lightning are greater than winning the lottery".

Lightning can strike you directly but also indirectly through metallic objects and even trees (don't seek shelter under trees).

The bright lights may injure your eyes causing pathologies like retinal detachment. Complications include heart and kidney diseases.

What to do during a thunderstorm? Get indoors, you're safer in your house or car. Avoid seeking shelter under trees.

Mobile money users are being warned about a growing scam that could leave them losing money within seconds, and all it may take is saying your phone number out loud at a mobile money vendor.

The scam is a new twist on mobile money fraud and targets people withdrawing cash from agents.
Under the normal withdrawal process, a customer visits a mobile money agent, provides their phone number, receives a prompt on their phone, approves the transaction, and then collects cash from the same agent.

However, fraudsters are reportedly exploiting this routine using a coordinated two-person method.

Here is how the alleged scam works

When a customer arrives to withdraw money, the agent asks them to say their phone number aloud, as is common at many mobile money points.
Unknown to the customer, the agent may already be on a call or initiate a call with another person,
that is a second fraudster located elsewhere.
As soon as the customer mentions the phone number, the second person immediately initiates a withdrawal transaction from another mobile money terminal on your number.

The victim then receives a transaction approval prompt on their phone. Believing it is from the agent standing in front of them, you then enter their PIN to approve the transaction.

When the customer turns to collect cash, the agent in front claims no transaction has been completed on their end. Since the withdrawal happened through a different agent ID, the victim may struggle to immediately understand what happened.

Mahama is the worst person to make excuses for. He’s been an MP, Deputy Minister, Minister, Vice President, and is now in his second term as President. The time for long speeches explaining the problem is over. You know what the problems are. Get to work and solve them.
