The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) have terminated the contract of Super Falcons coach, Edwin Okon. The women’s national team’s exit at the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada and his refusal to shake hands with coaches at the tournament were the major reasons why his contract wasn’t renewed. ‎The Rivers Angels’ assistant, Christopher Danjuma has taken over as an interim coach.

“The contract given to the crew has elapsed with the Women’s World Cup in Canada. Mr. Christopher Danjuma will now take over the team in acting capacity, pending the appointment of a substantive coaching crew, the process of selecting a capable replacement has began.

‎

“We commend Okon and his crew for the services rendered to the country. They did well to reclaim the African Women Championship title for the country in Namibia in October 2014, thus qualifying the team for the Women’s World Cup in Canada,” NFF technical committee chairman, Felix Anyansi said.

Argentinian reveals how Lionel Messi 'saved' him from kidnappers in Nigeria

My reaction when I saw this story online was, “When did Lionel Messi visit Nigeria?” on what mission? 
A 28 year-old Argentinian, 
Santiago Lopez Menendez has revealed how global soccer star and fellow country man Lionel Messi ‘saved’ him from kidnappers in Nigeria.
Menendez an engineer was captured while helping local farmers plant soya and corn in an agricultural project in Kontagora, Niger State, Nigeria on the 24th of June. He was tortured for 3 days, denied food, water, rest and beaten badly.
Along the line he figured out that his captors who spoke little English  thought he was an American. To bail himself out of the situation, he said he repeatedly chanted Messi and that was the magic. The beatings stopped. His employers, Four Mills later came to his rescue.
Now back to his country, Menendez told Clarin newspaper through his brother. ‘Thank you Messi, mentioning your name saved my life.’

Gay-marriage: "I will ask Obama's hand in marriage." Robert Mugabe

President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe has condemned and mocked America’s decision to legalise gay marriage across all 50 states. The African leader in a weekly interview in a radio station added that he plans to travel to the White House to propose to the US President, Barack Obama.
The anti-gay marriage crusader said, ‘I’ve just concluded – since President Obama endorses the same-sex marriage, advocates homosexual people and enjoys an attractive countenance – thus if it becomes necessary, I shall travel to Washington, DC, get down on my knee and ask his hand.’

He continued, ‘I can’t understand how this people dare to defy Christ’s explicit orders as our Lord prohibited mankind from sodomy’, going on to accuse the U.S. government of being run by ‘perverted Satan-worshipers who insult the great American nation.’

"Things changed and I was no longer the first-choice keeper." Petr Cech writes goodbye note to Chelsea fans.

Newly signed Arsenal goalkeeper, Petr Cech has thanked fans of his former club, Chelsea FC for their amazing support through his 11 credible years. Warming the bench for a major part of last season was one of the things that propelled him to leave the club and now he gets a regular playing time.
The Czech international, who won 13 major trophies with The Blues  ended with 228 clean sheets from his 494 games has signed a four-year deal worth a basic £100,000 per week with Arsenal FC.‎

“I thought this would never happen. I but it is time for me to say goodbye to Chelsea Football Club: the club I have lived every single minute for since joining in July, 2014, the club in which I thought I’d hang my gloves and boots one day and finish my career. But life doesn’t always turn out the way you think it will.

“It has been an incredible journey with so many highs and not many lows. We have managed to win every single English trophy as well as the Europa League and the biggest of all – the Champions League. Looking back at all the achievements, including our first ever league double in 2010, back to back titles in 2005 and 2006, and multiple Premier League and FA Cup wins, I couldn’t be more proud. As a team, we made history together.

He revealed that “Last summer, things changed and I understood I was no longer the first-choice keeper, but I felt it was not the right time for me to go. During the season it became clear that my situation would not improve and, as I know I am not at the stage of my career where I want to be on the bench, I made my decision to move on and look for new challenges.”
“The limited playing time gave me the chance to refresh and rest mentally as well as made me realise just how much I enjoy playing football at the highest level, because I missed it badly every game day I was not involved. I have the same commitment to football, the same motivation and the same hunger for success as I had at the beginning of my career. 

I love the challenges brought by the top quality players you face while playing in the Premier League: simply the best and the most challenging league in the world. That’s why I spoke to Mr Abramovich about me staying in the Premier League, and I’d like to thank him from the bottom of my heart for his support in this matter.” The 33 year-old wrote.
