New NFF President says Stephen Keshi has reached his limit


Newly-elected Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick was recently asked whether Nigeria would appoint a new coach for the national team or extend the incumbent manager, Stephen Keshi’s tenure. His reply


“Keshi? He’s has reached his limit and must build his capacity. But he should be shown respect because he’s a national hero & must be accorded his respect. Board will take a decision based on recommendation of the technical team. 



There are due processes towards appointing a coach and the technical committee will have to give a report before we decide. We’ll do everything in the best interest of Nigerians. Wouldn’t say if Keshi will continue or leave. Even if my administration doesn’t win any trophy, Nigeria must improve it’s referees!”

The interesting tale of a woman who got tired of being single and married herself

How do you marry yourself? Is that even possible? Well, Grace Gelder, the happy bride of Grace Gelder has an answer to that question? So, after 6 years of being single (6 years? some have spent 2 decades), she decided to marry herself.

She built up a brilliant relationship with herself, committed herself to aperiod of self discovery”, then November last year, she went to Parliament Hill in London, proposed to herself and announced it to the world. Of course a wedding ceremony with 50 guests in attendance followed. And as for the “wedding” kiss, it was sorted out with the aid of a mirror.
She told a journalist with The Guardian:

“Obviously, if you’ve just announced you’re marrying yourself, it is plainly a statement of self-love, and I was under no illusion how self-indulgent that might appear. But I was completely comfortable with my motivations.”

She was also told by friends that she’s an example to women.

“Why not an example to men too? I really don’t see it as any kind of feminist statement, but creating a wedding of this kind on my own terms felt incredibly empowering.” She added.

"….Don't come back Please". Mourinho tells Wenger during heated touchline row

I know that one idea on your head, that Mourinho told Arsene Wenger not to face his team again? Nah! Not it. He has no power over that. So, the 2014/2015 series between the old foes have begun. Sit back, relax and read. The reaction is from the former Madrid Manager, we’ll wait and see if the frenchman will come up with his this week or some…day.

To those who watched The Blues. Vs Gunners game which ended 2-0 in favour of the former yesterday, saw the heated touchline bust-up between the two managers and were itching to hear what they were saying, the Portugal ace has revealed it.

He told Sky Sports 1 “For me, it is over. But the technical area is very clear – I have mine, he has his and he cannot come to mine, especially to put pressure on the referee to give a red card to my player. So I just told him ‘leave my technical area and don’t come back please’.”

On the referee’s performance, the Special one said: “I think the referee, from a technical point of view, had a fantastic performance in a difficult, technical, fast match with lots of runs behind – also the linesmen had a difficult game and I think they did a fantastic job.”

Stephanie Okereke-linus chosen to support the Queen's Young Leaders Campaign for Nigerian youths.

A-List Actress, Director and Producer, Stephanie Okereke-linus has been chosen to support the Queen’s Young Leaders Awards campaign. The Campaign invites Young Nigerian leaders to be recognized for their brilliance and community engagement. In July 2014, Prince William and Prince Harry helped launch The Queen’s Young Leaders Awards, a prestigious new programme established by The Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust in partnership with Comic Relief and The Royal Commonwealth Society.

The Queen’s Young Leaders Programme will identify, celebrate and nurture inspirational young people across the Commonwealth nations who are making a difference in their communities.

“THE SEARCH IS ON right now in Nigeria to find the next Queens Young Leader! It’s a really exciting opportunity. I am very sure our young Nigerian rising leaders will step up to the plate and make us proud.”- Stephanie Linus, Actress, Producer, Director.

Young people have the ideas, energy and talent to make a big difference in the communities where they live and across the Commonwealth. However, they are rarely given the opportunities and resources to make their vision of the future a reality. The Queen’s Young Leaders Programme has been created to help change this.

In honour of Her Majesty The Queen’s 60-year contribution to the Commonwealth, each year from 2014 – 2018, 60 exceptional people aged 18-29 will be selected to receive an award for leading the way where they live and become a ‘Queen’s Young Leader’. Winners will receive their award from Her Majesty the Queen and will be rewarded with a bespoke package of mentoring, training and networking, which will help them, realise their full potential. With this they can go on to inspire other young people to help shape the future of the Commonwealth. This Programme will support them to do more life-changing work, to take up leadership roles and to inspire future leaders.

Cesc Fabregas' message for Arsenal fans after the Gunners' loss at Stamford Bridge


Shortly after Chelsea defeated his former club, Arsenal 2-0, Cesc Fabregas during a post-match interview affirmed that albeit he’s in a fantastic club right now, he still holds Arsenal and it’s fans in high esteem.





“I have huge respect for Arsenal – they gave me everything when I was little. Without them I wouldn’t be here and I wouldn’t have won what I have won. I have huge respect and I take it in a positive way. I know they love me and it is all because we were together once.

Sometimes, circumstances mean these things can happen. But I have always said it – I am not scared. They will always be in my heart forever. But this is football, I am in this fantastic football club now playing with great players, a great coach and great fans and I want to win everything. I am hungry and really want to do well for this club. I hope I can make it in the future.”
