Replays showed the defender had stepped on the Italian's foot. ...

ABUJA, March 28 (Reuters) - Nigeria earned 557.9 billion naira ($1.77 billion) in gross revenues in February, up from 538.9 billion naira ($1.71 billion) the previous month, due to higher crude exports and prices, Accountant General Ahmed Idris said on Wednesday. The OPEC member is recovering from its worst recession in 25 years after the economy’s main driver, oil, saw a three-year plunge before prices began to recover in the past year or so. Nigeria is Africa’s largest oil producer and crude sales account for two-thirds of government revenue. The funds are shared among the country’s 36 states.

I’m forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air, They fly so high, nearly reach the sky, Then like my dreams they fade and die John Kellette, Jaan Kenbrovin 1918 Hardly a day goes by without a story that financial markets are in “bubble” territory. Stock markets around the world, including the FTSE All-Share, are at record highs and bond yields are at record lows. The former means that valuations are at the upper end of historic ranges. The latter has meant that many unusual things can be sold to investors anxious for yield. Recent examples include a 100-year bond with a coupon of just 2.1% that raised €2.5 billion for Austria. Possibly a better risk than the three 100-year bonds issued by Mexico in recent years but at least the Mexican government prints its own currency. Despite the money that has been made by those who have stayed invested in bonds and/or equities in recent years, there is little sign of euphoria. Rather in our experience, investors ...

The yuan is currently trading at 6.28 versus the dollar, having rallied...
