Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said his side would give

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said his side would give up their Europa League trophy if it would bring back the 22 victims of Monday’s terror attack in Manchester.

United beat Ajax 2-0 in Stockholm on Wednesday to win the Europa League for the first time, but the game was overshadowed by the deadly suicide attack on concert-goers at Manchester Arena, which also left dozens injured. “If we could, we would obviously change the people’s lives for this cup, immediately,” Mourinho told reporters at the Friends Arena. “We wouldn’t think twice. Does this cup make the city of Manchester a little bit happier? Maybe. But we just came to do our job.

We came without the happiness we should bring with us, because when you come for these big matches you come happy, you come proud. And we didn’t. we just came to do our job.” The game was preceded by a minute’s silence, which was interrupted by applause from both sets of fans, and United’s players wore black armbands. Mourinho agreed with European governing body UEFA’s decision for the match to go ahead, but said the victory would always be associated with sad thoughts about what happened in Manchester. “It’s really hard,” said the Portuguese, whose pre-match press conference on Tuesday was cancelled.

That’s why yesterday we didn’t want to have the press conference because we had to prepare ourselves to do our job and to try to forget events that are obviously much more important than our job. “But the world goes on. It doesn’t stop and we have to do our work. I agree with the UEFA decision to play the match. “But if we have questions like your questions that made us return to this tragedy, obviously it takes happiness from our achievement.” Paul Pogba, who opened the scoring in the game, dedicated the triumph to the victims, saying:

We played for the people who died.” “These things are terrible all over the world, in London and in Paris,” said Pogba, who was also playing at the Stade de France on the night of the November 2015 Paris terror attacks. “We went out focused to win and we won for Manchester and the country,” he told BT Sport. “We played for England, we played for Manchester and we played for the people who died.”

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins. The first born of the twins is called Táíwò, a shortened form of Tò-aiyé-wò (taste the world) while the last born of the twins is called Kéhìndé which literally means “the last to come”. Contrary to the popular belief that Taiwo, being the first born of the twins, is old
