Fuel Scarcity: Charly Boy writes an open letter to Buhari

Charly Boy has written an open letter to Buhari over the lingering fuel scarcity in the country. Read Below.

My dear Presido,
I trust you are not letting the rot and the decay you met in the system overwhelm you. I was filled with expectation when you emerged winner. I prayed that you would be a catalyst in redirecting our drifting country; because many things spoil no be small.
I can’t say that I was too thrilled with some of your selections for the ministerial posts, but I suspected you had a good reason for most of the choice you made. Your campaign was about change, which I hoped was all-encompassing- change in our mindset, our attitude to work, and above all, not business as usual.
It is based on one of your outstanding ministerial selections that I write this personal letter to you.
My Presido, please tell all them brown nosed praise singers, called politrickcians to hands off meddling and interrupting the flow of our Honorable Minister of Petroleum. Dr Ibe Kachikwu. We are all aware of the plots, nonsensical, local and ethnic intrigues called politics being thrown up to tamper with Ibe Kachikwu’s position. I warn that a stop must be put to this. We all know that corruption is fighting back the war against corruption. With the changes I have seen in NNPC and my personal interaction with this outstanding Nigerian of great repute, a humble, brilliant, intelligent and an outstanding scholar; one of the few patriots in your cabinet, it will be a disaster if we lose him. You know this is no lie.
While I don’t want to tow the line of ethnic or tribal propaganda, those claiming that this call for Kachikwu’s sack is entirely an ethnic proclivity may not be far from the truth, going by precedence we all know. At this stage and age of our democracy, such childish tendencies and immaturity ought to be dealt away with, if we all truly hold the interest of this nation dear. These useless yahoo yahoo leaders should desist from their frivolous, devisive, tribal, and ethnic politics and allow him do his job basically.
As a result of corruption, we have found round pegs in square holes; because of corruption, thieves and criminals took over leadership and because of corruption, our economy is in this mess.Even with your fight Sai Baba, you can see that winning the battle against corruption is not an easy one; it is worse than BokoHaram.
It is clear that most of the people responsible for our economic woes are fighting back, not knowing what you may do next. In my opinion, this is one of the ways they’re putting up the fight: they want to rid your government of the few who can make visible impact in a system that has hitherto been jeopardized.
These unscrupulous elements must not be allowed to find you predictable, they must not be able to hold you hostage in your own administration, they must not turn you to a mere stooge as it was the case in Nigeria in not too distant past. You no be zoombie.
Let those who know the job be allowed to do it or else, I will be forced to mobilize 2,000,000 protesters to march against this useless agitation.
Enough is enough, you are the President, please take charge.
What you decide to do next will determine, to a great extent, how this Naija ship is steered.
We are all watching, and waiting.
Thank you Your Excellency, for reading.
Best Regards,
Charles ‘CharlyBoy’ Oputa.

Brazilian football legend, Pelé sues Samsung for £30m

Pele bicycle kick
The controversial ad
For using his lookalike in an advertisement in The New York Times
without his permission, Brazilian football legend, Pelé, has slammed a lawsuit
against Korean electronics giant Samsung.
Samsung tried to get the global football icon to endorse its products
(ultrahigh-definition televisions) in 2013 but they   pulled
out of negotiations at the last minute and then opted for a model bearing a
closer resemblance to him. But, the 75 year-old would not have any of it. He
has faulted the use of his identity to promote their products and he’s suing
them for it.

//

The ad features a portrait-sized
image of his lookalike and a small photo of a footballer making a “modified
bicycle or scissors-kick, perfected and famously used by Pelé.”
The lawsuit was filed
by Pele IP Ownership LLC, which owns Pelé’s trademark and publicity rights. The
complaint said the advert will confuse consumers as well as hurt the value of
Pele’s endorsement rights. It is seeking $30 million in damages.

//
“The
goal is to obtain fair compensation for the unauthorised use of Pele’s
identity, and to prevent future unauthorized uses,”
Pelé’s lawyer, Frederick Sperling, told
Reuters.

Ronaldo deserves more respect from fans- Kaka

Former Real Madrid midfielder Kaka (right) feels Cristiano Ronaldo deserves 'more respect' from fans 
Former Real Madrid player, Kaka has appealed to Los Blancos fans to accord Cristiano Ronaldo more respect.

‘Cristiano is a great
player, I am not just talking about his quality, but in terms of what he has
contributed to Madrid. I would like to see the fans have more respect for
Cristiano for what he has done for this club. ‘Sometimes I hear whistles
against Cristiano and it’s not good after all he has done.’

Alexis Sanchez explains why he built pitches for children in his hometown.

Alexis Sanchez has given back to his community!
The Arsenal star has built two artificial pitches for kids in his hometown, Tocopilla, Chile.
Explaining
the reasons behind the generous donation, the former Barcelona player stated
that “I wanted the kids to have a decent pitch to play on as I never
 had that. People can end up going down the wrong path, like
alcohol and drugs, and that’s bad news for children. 
Whenever I
am there I try to set up events, play with the kids and promote other things. When
I do go to Tocopilla, I try to set up events and give footballs just to
see the smiles on the children’s faces as I honestly believe that small
children are the most important things in the world. ‘They learn from us as
adults and it’s really important to do things like this.’
