El Kanemi Warriors have emerged as winners of the inaugural edition of the North East pre-season tournament which was concluded in Gombe on Thursday evening.

The Borno Army staged a comeback from their unimpressive start to lift the pre-season tourney.

The Borno Army defeated hosts Gombe United 2-1 in the pulsating final tie played at the Pantami Stadium, Gombe to lift the giant trophy in a revenge tie of the initial fixture which ended 2-0 in favour of the hosts on Monday evening.

El kanemi Warriors drew the first blood in the third minute through returnee striker, Efe Yarhere but Gombe United leveled up the tie 12 minutes later through a spot kick converted by Ibrahim Abdullahi after one of the Desert Scorpions’ strikers was felled in the 18 yard box.

The Maiduguri side still dominated play in the second half and it was no surprise they shot into the lead again in the 69th minute through tournament’s highest scorer, Matthias Samuel who got his third goal of the tourney and his side’s second goal of the match to ensure that the Ladan  Bosso led team end the game as winners.

Head coach of El Kanemi Warriors, Ladan Bosso stated that he was delighted with the way his wards responded after their initial hiccup in the tournament to still gather enough strength and courage to win the title and he also praised the organizers of the tournament for helping him spot areas he must still work on before the start of the league season.

“I am extremely happy that we have won the tournament despite the way we started. It was not easy to recover the way we did after losing to the same side during our first meeting on Monday this week. I am grateful to the organizers of this tournament for making me spot areas that my team must improve on before the start of the premier league season,” Bosso told Goal.

How Technology Is Killing Eye Contact

    Christen had an alarming wake-up call one day about the toll that technology was taking on her life -- and her family. "I realized several years ago that I had stopped looking in my children's eyes," the HopeLab President and CEO said at a Huffington Post panel at Ad Week on Tuesday . "And it was shocking to me." Christen's "a-ha" moment was an alarming one, but it's more common than you might think -- and it points toward a larger, and often undiscussed, byproduct of excessive screen time. The decline of eye contact is well-documented , and as we spend more and more of our time staring at screens, there's less time left over to look into people's eyes -- including the eyes of the people we care about most. Between staring at computers during the work day and regularly gazing down at our phones, Americans spending more time with their eyes glued to their screens than ever before. According to recent estimates ,

Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday age 22 six months after she was found face down and unresponsive in the bath-tub of the Roswell, Georgia, home she shared with then boyfriend, Nick Gordon, 25. Gordon is now a person of interest to investigators attempting to piece together the events that led to Bobbi Kristina’s untimely death. But according to TMZ, he has still written to Bobbi Kristina’s father and Pat Houston begging for permission to attend the funeral service. The email states: ‘I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye. ‘Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there’. The chances of him being accepted by the family are, however, slim to none. The Houston family has slapped him with a $10million lawsuit alleging that he abused her and stole her money while she was in a medically induced coma. While Gordon has been a figure of controversy with Bobby Brown banning him first from his daughter’s hospital bedsi
