Drogba Says Eagles Will Win AFCON

Cote D’Ivoire’s Captain Didier Drogba has hailed the Super Eagles for their inspiring outing at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium and said the team could win the tournament if they perform against others like they did against them
The Eagles beat the Elephants of Cote D’Ivoire 2-1 in the ongoing 2013 Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinals.

“I was very impressed with the Super Eagles’ performance against us (Ivory Coast). It’s proof of hard work, relentlessness and the sign of a world-class team in preparation,” he said, after the game that shattered the Afcon dream of the highly-rated Ivorian side.

“I don’t really see any team that can withstand Nigeria for the rest of the tournament. They keep improving by each game and level of the competition. That shows it’s a hardworking and resilient outfit. If they must take the trophy home they have to keep working, be creative and challenge any side like they engaged us.

“Wishing for and seeing victory is not enough. I feel this is Nigeria time but they must deserve it by proving it more on the pitch. The fact that the team arrived with a number of home-based players means we have to give them praise because that tells us there is football even within the continent,” he said.

The former Chelsea striker also sent comforting words to his home fans, a number of whom are holding him responsible for the team’s debacle at the tournament.

“Fans ought to know that football is sometimes funny and bizarre. Sometimes you play well and you lose and others time you don’t put up a good game but you win. We did our best, it didn’t work out. We’re taking responsibility and also thanking fans and asking them to bear with the team that better days are definitely ahead.”

Mikel ‘ll Win Golden Ball – Orji Uzor Kalu....

Creative midfield maestro John Mikel Obi Thursday earned five stars as former Abia state governor Dr.Orji Uzor Kalu tipped him for the Golden Ball trophy, with the sobriquet ‘Field Marshall’ of the ongoing Nations’ Cup.

Kalu said,”Mikel Obi is a silent killer,in the field he puts on no airs,his touches are pinpoint,the young man is the hub of the Eagles.Yet he carries everybody along.If the Nations Cup were another World War,i would call him Field Marshall Montgomery.I see a crown on his head as the Most Valuable Player[MVP] of this tournament.”

The ex-governor praised the Ivorian Elephants for giving honour to Mikel in particular, and the Nigerian team in general,despite their quarter -finals elimination by the Eagles.

“Kudos to Cheik Tiote,Didier Drogba and Lassina Traore.They admitted Nigeria’s superiority in the game.Tiote singled out Mikel for cutting off balls to Drogba and Yaya Toure.Mikel was so effective in the middle that Almighty Cote D’Ivoire looked like fish out of water.I give credit to all the Eagles as well, for a job well done,”Kalu added.

He expressed disappontment over Ghana’s loss to Burkina Faso, since his dream was for Nigeria to meet the Black Stars in the final to create a Nations Cup grand-finale record.

“Ghana made me sad,”Kalu explained.”I wanted Nigeria to  meet them in the final.You know,The Black Stars mean badluck to us in the Nations Cup,win or lose.Anytime we played them, we never won the trophy.This present bunch of Eagles would have spelt Accra or even Kumasi if  our parts crossed in the last game.”

Yes indeed.Seven times Nigeria met Ghana-1978,1984,1992,2002,2006,2008 and 2010.Three wins,[2-1 at Cote D'Ivoire'84,1-0 Mali' 2002,1-0 Egypt'2006],three losses[1-2 Senegal'92,1-2 Ghana' 2008,0-1 Angola'2010] and one draw[Ghana'78]. that is the story.In those competitions,the Eagles did not win the Cup.

10 Questions To Ask Yourself Before Getting Into A Serious Relationship

Let's say you've been careful about the people you date. In time, you'll probably find yourself liking one person a lot. It looks like it's getting serious.

If you find yourself moving in this direction, or if you are already in a serious relationship, here are other questions to think through and to talk about together:

1. Is our relationship about mutual trust? A relationship can't survive without honesty and openness. If lies creep into the relationship, it's time to get truthful, or call it quits.

2. Can we be ourselves when we're together? If you have to be somebody you're not, or if either of you feels you must put up a front, then you're in the wrong relationship.

3. Are either of us overly possessive? Words and phrases like "smothered" and "jealous" come to mind. If one of you can't move without the other one knowing it, then possessiveness is a big problem. If this happens, both of you need some space, and maybe you even need to back away from the relationship. These traits are red flags that your boyfriend or girlfriend may become abusive.

4. Do we regularly have good conversations? Chat room-type chatter is fine. But now and then you need to have a conversation that goes a bit deeper—that lets you know each other's likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, hopes and dreams.

5. Have we set physical limits? This question is extremely important and often difficult to answer, especially if a relationship has already become too physical. To avoid pushing the limits beyond the point of no control, you need to set agreed-upon limits early on. You also need to know why you need limits.

More questions worth asking: Do both of you understand why God wants people to save sex for marriage? Do both of you clearly understand why sex outside of marriage is so destructive? If you break up tomorrow, would you end the relationship with no regrets about your physical involvement? If you can't answer yes to these questions, please talk with your youth pastor or someone else who can give you guidance in this critical area.

6. Do we have dates that include our friends? If your friends or family complain that they don't see you anymore, your relationship has gotten way too exclusive.

7. Do we plan how we'll spend our time together? With "nothing to do," it's easy to fill up your time by becoming more physically involved than you should. Do your best to begin each date knowing how you're going to spend your time together.

8. Do we have a good understanding of what forgiveness means? People mess up. That's just the way it is. That's why it's important to forgive each other. Holding grudges because you've been wronged kills a relationship. On the other hand, no one should say "forgive me" when they really mean "accept my faults and don't expect me to change." If you want to regain trust, if you want to keep the relationship healthy, then changes must be made.

The Bible calls these changes "repentance" (Acts 26:20, NIV), and it means that you will, with God's help, stop doing the behavior that got you into trouble in the first place.

9. Can we disagree agreeably? Can you handle disagreements without screaming, sulking, or slamming phones or doors? And what about compromise? A relationship isn't about winning, it's about wanting what's best for each other. If either of you must always win, you're in a no-win relationship.

10. Do we keep God at the center? Jesus Christ needs to be the center of each of your lives and of each of your relationships. This obviously means being able to have good conversations about what God is teaching each of you. It also means that each of you is committed to personal spiritual growth. And it means having Christian friendships (apart from each other) that hold you accountable and help you live out your faith. All in all, an exciting faith adventure is key to an exciting dating relationship.

Messi Kissed By Fan During Argentina-Sweden Friendly (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

 A Barcelona fan invaded the pitch in yesturday's match-up between Argentina and Sweden to give his footy hero a nice aul peck on the forehead. Messi didn't seem to mind.

Argentina beat the Swedes 3-2 in tonight’s friendly in Stockholm and while Messi remained scoreless, he still received quite a bit of attention.

Near the end of the match a fan wearing the Barcelona no.10 shirt ran onto the pitch and planted a big kiss on the Argentine’s forehead and in typical Messi fashion, he just stood there and took it. He's used to this adulation lark at this stage.

After kissing his hero, the pitch invader slowly walked away and was quickly caught by the stewards, but at that stage he couldn’t have cared less.

Not too long ago Messi received another kind gesture from a fan in the form of a hug and reacted in the same fashion.

Drama: Kanye Sad Over Kim K's Refusal To Change Her Last Name.

If there's one thing that Kanye West should have known before buying an $11 million mansion with Kim K, is that Kim is never letting go of her world-famous last name.

 The marriage-tradition-observing Kanye seems to be very upset with his heartthrob Kim not wanting to change her last name for him. A source told Star Magazine:

 "Kanye is very disappointed and upset about the whole thing but Kim refuses to budge."

 Didn't Kanye know that Kim is a really adamant person, she always gets what she wants? Just like how she went on to marry Kriss against the opinion of her family. 

 Apart from that, it is also being said that she thinks their soon-to-be-born baby should bear her last name since it's become so famous on its own. As much as Kanye might let Kim stay a Kardashian, we don't think he'll allow that for his baby- that's like robbing him off his fatherly pride.

 Kim obviously doesn't want her show to be 'Keeping Up With The Wests.' Hehe.

WIZKID vs EME….. THE REAL ISSUE?

Everyday we get informations about the Wizkid vs EME saga, this information was going around on bbm today, and its worth looking at.. So check this out..

Wizkid already put a lot of the hard work on the talent side before he met EME. From 2009 onwards, EME focused on the branding, artist development, marketing and promotions of Wizkid. (True fact)

Within and outside of Nigeria, there was NO LEGAL CONTRACT signed between EME and Wizkid. (Alleged)

. About March 2012, when fans and the public screamed in excitement about the EME Wizkid UK Tour, Wizkid still did not have a legal contract. However, as a condition to perform in the UK and to get visas granted, the hosting country (UK) required a record contract evidencing Wizkid was signed to EME. EME, in a rush, put a contract together for Wizkid. (Alleged)

. The EME-Wizkid contract (the first signing of a record deal) had a term requiring a album deal. They promised this contract will be amended to the “real contract” later. (Alleged)

Wizkid signed the 7 Album contract, without reading the terms. (Alleged)

Prior to the signing, monies were split between the two in a 50/50 way i.e. monies made from concerts/ tours were split evenly. (Alleged)

In April of 2012, EME announced a joint deal, in a press statement, with Akon’s Konvict. EME claimed Akon would “produce and release Wizkid worldwide” while EME managed Wizkid in Nigeria. (True Fact)

Before we could blink, all of a sudden, Wizkid signed a management deal with Tinie Tempah in the UK. Really? (True Fact)

Banky W & EME allegedly never negotiated or agreed to such a deal. Wizkid directly negotiated and signed with Tinie Tempah. (Alleged)

Wizkid fronts his own label “Star Boy” under the blessings and umbrella of the EME label. (Alleged)

As it stands, the relationship between the EME crew and Wizkid has deteriorated to the point where Wizkid no longer speaks to members of the EME team, including Banky W. All correspondences are filtered through his new manager Godwin Tom (Alleged).

Wizkid wants more money and he wants out i.e. reduce the 7 Album deal.

Willow Smith Drops Out of Jay-Z’s Annie Remake

It’s a hard-knock life for the producers of Annie.

Willow Smith will no longer play the lead in her father Will Smith and Jay-Z’s film remake of the classic musical, a statement from Smith’s company Overbrook Entertainment confirms. Producers site production delays and the “Whip My Hair” singer‘s age as the reason for her bowing out of the project.

“Willow was nine years old when we started developing this project, and has since grown out of the role,” the statement reads. But the company and Jay-Z, who is a producing partner on the project and is also writing new songs for it, insists that losing Willow does not mean the film has been shelved. In fact, rumors are swirling that both 9-year-old Oscar nominee Quvenzhané Wallis andHunger Games‘ Amandla Stenberg are being considered for the part.

Jay-Z said in a statement: “For [my company] Marcy Media’s first foray into film, we couldn’t ask for better partners and mentors than Overbrook Entertainment. We are excited to work with [director] Will Gluck and Sony Pictures Entertainment. My well-known affinity for the classic “Hard Knock Life” makes Annie a natural vehicle to lead us into the world of the cinema
