Teen arrested for bringing a clock to school gets invitation from Obama

Photo published for We were right to arrest and handcuff boy over homemade clock, officials say
On Monday, a teenage boy, Ahmed Mohamed, a student of the MacArthur High School was handcuffed and arrested by school officials for bringing a clock believed to be a “hoax bomb” to school.
//
A follow up investigation however revealed that the device was a homemade experiment and he had no intention to create alarm. The issue has been trending for the past few days with many adopting the hashtag #IStandWithAhmed showing solidarity to the 14 year-old boy whose ingenuity was not praised.
Ahmed’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed who has lived in America for 30 years was unhappy about his son’s humiliation. In a press conference yesterday, he said he is proud of his son.
“He fixed my phone, my car, my computer. He is a very smart, brilliant kid. What is happening is touching the heart of everyone with children. And that is America. It made me really happy to see all these people support me. I’m thinking about transferring from MacArthur to any other school.” 
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg as well as the President of the United States, Barack Obama have however extended an open initiation to the brilliant lad.  
//
“Having the skill and ambition to build something cool should lead to applause, not arrest. The future belongs to people like Ahmed.”  Zuckerberg wrote
Obama added. “Cool clock, Ahmed. Want to bring it to the White House? We should inspire more kids like you to like science. It’s what America great.”

Child-Spacing: 'Expect my 4th child soon' – Mercy Johnson tells critics

//
Pregnant talented actress, Mercy Johnson has responded to child-spacing ‘sermons’ from fans, friends or foes alike. The doting mother of two was criticized for getting pregnant few months after dedicating her last child, Henry. In an interview with Goldmyne TV, the movie star said that she knows what child-spacing entails and  as an adult, she’s old enough to make decisions. 
//
 “I am expecting my third child and I’m a married person so I don’t think people should ask me why. I understand the ethics of spacing kids but I’m a married person and an adult, I can decide the way I want to live my life. So yes, I’m having my third baby very soon. Thank you so much for the good wishes, thank you so much for the hate speeches, but save some of the hate speeches because the fourth will soon come to round it up then you can show your anger then but for now it’s good news let’s celebrate.”






You people sef, is it your pregnancy? trouble sleep, yanga dey wake am.

Opinion: Form is temporal… Jose Mourinho is permanent | By: Komptrolla

Sometimes, you can be a victim of your own high standards. In football, every sport as a matter of fact, form crisis is allowed, every big team at one time or the other has experienced it, how well they deal with the down time goes a long way in the recovery process; for Chelsea and everyone at the Stamford Bridge, it’s time to get behind the team and believe once again in the special one.

//

In all sincerity, it’s ok to experience moments of struggles, but for Jose Mourinho, it’s a strange feeling. This return of 4 points out of a possible 15 is the worst he has ever witnessed in his professional career.
With due respect, if this were to be the case at Tottenham or West ham, the headline would be different, but it’s Chelsea, it’s Jose Mourinho so you understand the panic button that the media is pushing as well as the anxiety among the fans.
Frankly speaking, the entire Chelsea squad is fatigued, a few are past their best and some are just waking up from sleep, if we were to come up with a list of the weakest performers of the EPL, it would be sane enough to load in all Chelsea players, the disaster at Goodison Park explains the obvious and with Arsenal lurking next weekend, it’s safe to admit that Chelsea must bring out something special to turn the situation on its head.

//

But before you rule out Chelsea, before you nail the special one, please remember it was this same team that strolled to the title last season, it was the same Mourinho that masterminded the weirdest UCL coup at Porto in 2004, it was the same Jose that oversaw the longest unbeaten home record in footballing history.

//

Form crisis has happened to the best of teams, it has befallen the best of managers, Jose needs support to restore the confidence that is lacking at the Bridge, the earlier the fans realize this the best.
Off field issues have reared ugly heads too, notably the Dr. Carneiro saga, disciplinary problems on the part of players and obvious confidence crisis on most of the star players are not helping the manager.

//

11 points off the pace is the worst start one can wish for, but September is too early to crown or relegate anyone. The royal blood at Stamford Bridge will speak for them, regardless of the result against Arsenal, form is temporal, but remember… Class is permanent and Jose Mourinho is still the Special One.

I suspect the writer is a Chelsea fan. Well, he might not be.

Jack Wilshere out for 3 months

//

Like we reported few weeks back that Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere will be out for few weeks after suffering a hairline fracture in his left leg. The latest update on the English footballer is that he would be out for 3 months to undergo a surgery on the leg.

Below is an official statement from the club.

//
//
“Due to a slow healing response from a fracture suffered in August, the club can confirm that Jack Wilshere is to undergo an operation to his left fibula.

“The decision to intervene has been taken quickly after regular reviews by specialists, who feel that Jack’s scans show that the healing process is not progressing as well as expected.

“Jack will have surgery in London in the forthcoming days. This will involve inserting a small plate in his left fibula. Jack is likely to be out for approximately three months. Everyone at the club wishes Jack well with his rehabilitation.”‎

Angry Mourinho tells reporter to google answers to stupid questions

‎Chelsea Boss, Jose Mourinho’s mood has been far from pleasant lately and the reason isn’t far-fetched. Losing their games three consecutive times and being 17th on the table, it has been the English club’s worst start to a season since 1986.

//
A BBC reporter however irked the living daylights out of the Portuguese today after he asked if he is being affected by the ‘third season syndrome.’ Excerpts from his conversation with  Ben Smith, BBC sports news correspondent below.

//
“Jose Mourinho was sporting a new haircut at today’s press conference and, just like his mood, it was short and spiky. This was the Chelsea manager at his emotional best. Smiling and laughing at one stage and delivering that famous death stare at others. He was fiercely protective of his players, robust in his defence of his own record and proud to remind the rest of English football that ‘I am a champion’.


//
Jose: “Talk is cheap. Chelsea need results. This is their worst start to a top-flight season since 1986, their manager must hope his new haircut will bring a change in form. I promise you I am fine. I am not happy. I am not used to losing so many times but I am adapting to the situation.
“You cannot expect me to say it is all smiles, laughing and jokes. When people are not getting success we work for, we are going to be frustrated.
“We know what we are – champions of England. The fans sing that. Nobody can steal what we are or our trophies or our history, you can try but you can’t do that.
“When you are used to winning all the time, then when you don’t it is a strange feeling. Some people deal well with it, others not as good.”

Ben Smith: Do you believe that you still have all the qualities that made you such a great manager? A lot has been made of the third season in your time at clubs – what do you say to that?
Jose Mourinho: Look, my third season – in Porto, I didn’t have a third season. My third season in Inter, I didn’t have a third season. My third season at Chelsea the first time, I won the FA Cup and the Carling Cup, and I played the Champions League semi-finals. My third season in Real Madrid, I won the Super Cup, I lost the cup [Copa del Rey] final, and I went to the Champions League semi-finals. These are my third seasons…
BS: Sure, but you know what I’m getting at…
Jose Mourinho: So click Google, instead of making stupid questions, click Google and try to find.
BS: Jose, you know what I’m getting at though, don’t you, how important is it for you to build…
//
Jose Mourinho : No, you spoke about the third season, and I am telling you that the question is stupid, because the third season is what I told you.
BS: Jose, you know the point of the question…
Jose Mourinho: No, I know the point, the point is that the question is stupid. I am sorry…
Was there any correlation between his haircut and his mood, “My haircut isn’t as radical as it has been. I am fine, I promise you.”‎ He concluded.
