Still on Rio Ferdinand's autobiography: Wayne Rooney went through phones like sweets and smashed them on concrete in anger

Seems there’s a lot to know in Former Manchester United star, Rio Ferdinand’s Autobiography titled 2sides. Last week, we learnt about John Terry whom he branded an idiot for not apologising to his family over the latter’s racial issue and then he called his former manager David Moyes confused and embarrassing. This time around, the “spotlight” is on his former team mate, Wayne Rooney’s temper.

Excerpts from the QPR defender’s book:

‘Wayne Rooney always struck me as a very angry young man, always arguing with people outside the training ground, especially on the phone. He seemed to fly into a rage about the smallest things and went through mobile phones like they were sweets. He’d smash phones up in frustration, throwing them on the concrete. I don’t know what happened but he did calm down.’

"To talk to Mikel, you have to be ready for your own beating"- Samson Siasia

Ex Super Eagles coach, Samson Siasia has rated Nigerian midfielder, Mikel Obi’s performances in most competitions as dismal. He also noted that speaking to Mikel on the need to step up his game could prove a little difficult as he isn’t open to criticisms.

“Someone would have to talk to him. But to talk to Mikel, you have to be ready for your own beating. From what we have seen and what people are saying, they don’t think he is giving his best. But he should be able to criticise himself.”

He continued, “He should do a self-critique. If he believes he is not doing well, he has to try and up his game. He has been watching the games from the World Cup, if he thinks he is not doing well, why is he not scoring, he has to be able to look at those videos and see the areas he needs to improve on.

“Nobody has to tell him. He is a professional. So, I am not going to criticise him. He has done well for this country, but if he is not doing well like he used to, then something has to be done.”

On whether Mikel should be a defensive or attacking midfielder, Siasia admitted that he’s confused.

“I am actually confused on that one, I don’t know anymore. As a defensive midfield player, it doesn’t mean you should not go forward or try to take some shots at goal. Nemanja Matic is doing it; Ramires is doing it, so how come Mikel is not doing it? Why can’t he cover the box-to-box play? If you don’t get into the box, you can never shoot at goal. So, that is his problem.” He added

How difficult is it to find Mr Right in Nigeria? Comedian, Ali Baba puts his two cents in.

In a recent facebook post, Ace comedian, Ali Baba talked about where ladies get in wrong in their quest in finding Mr Right in Nigeria. Short but thought-provoking piece.

“I have a serious matter at hand that I want to share. In fact, I should have shared this long ago, but the primary message from a friend that prompted the matter, was lost in between the series of inbox messages from those strange girls that are looking for romantic friendships on Facebook.
In a nutshell, a lady friend sent me an inbox message on how it’s harder to find a good man in Nigeria. And that the men who are “manageable” (her words, not mine) are so scarce and if you ever get them they are either married to a lady that does not deserve them or just repenting from a bad marriage from one of such women. Or even just lost faith in the whole marriage thing.
I later ran into her at a club. After the usual introductions that have become common place with these social media network of friends… (You are my friend on twitter, Facebook, Tango, INSTAGRAM… That kind of thing)…. I chatted with her a bit and found out from what she told me, that, many women are now settling for anything in between MR Right, MR Not just ok and MR Nearly right. As she put it, it’s now a case of looking at what a guy checks out in the top 10 box… And if he has 3 out of 10, snap him up… Work on the rest 7, if you are lucky, you can get him to add 3 more of those top10 qualities… And begin to pray it lasts for as long as you both can manage.
Much as I tried, to get her to rate me, she said, she can only rate someone who is on her radar. So ladies have relationship radar? Yes of course. You think you were not in Mary’s radar, and she waited for you to come back after you… ? Ouch!!! (That was my guy who was listening in on our private conversation) I wasn’t on Mary’s radar…. I managed to mutter. Then she fooled you wellllll. She quickly added.
It got me thinking… What does a man need to show to get on any woman’s radar? Money, sense of humor, fame, dress sense, good job, intelligence, good diction, good physique, some visible signs of affluence, confidence,… She let me continue for a while, raised her glass of Henessy VSOP, downed it, and said, “He must first be AVAILABLE. Then you can begin to check out the rest.” So I asked, do I look available? She said, “Of course, to the people who do not care if you are married, you are very available! Not to me, OOO. Mary was my boss at Platinum. So that strikes you out.” So I asked the next possible question, “so what can I do to look unavailable?” There is nothing. You are even an easy pick. She added. Any man who has a source of income, popular, dresses well, tall, handsome small sef, has a car, is in the circles of successful people, looks like he has potentials to become somebody important and can pay the bills…
Our conversation started having K-leg when she lit a cigar, not cigarette, Cuban cigar and started smoking. I took a good look at her, and realized that, these women who are looking for a MR Right all over Lagos, may just have met him but he is also looking for a woman who doesn’t drink alcohol or smoke anything at all. That is the wahala. As you are looking for MR right, he might be dodging you because you are all shades of wrong…
While you are looking waiting for a guy to walk in and fit into your radar, you are doing some things that also confine you to the “never my type” hemisphere…
So, in conclusion, just as good men are hard to find, “manageable” ladies are unicorns!!!!
What is GOOSE for Uganda… Is GOOD for PERU

Emmanuel Babayaro says no Nigerian not even Stephen Keshi can handle the Eagles.

Dear Nigerians and die-hard footie fans, do you agree with this statement? Ex goalkeeper and singer, Emmanuel Babayaro has maintained that no Nigerian coach is capable of handling the Super Eagles. He added that even the incumbent manager, Stephen Keshi who is highly sentimental isn’t right for the job.

“I don’t think Keshi is the man for the job. I never thought any Nigerian coach is the right person for the Eagles. And note this, it has nothing to do with their ability as coaches. As coaches they may be terrific, but I have always maintained, an average Nigerian myself inclusive, we are very sentimental people and football and sentiments they don’t go together.

He continued, “That is why we have this situation where Keshi never invites the best hands, for one sentimental reason or the other. On a good day, somebody else without sentiments would have invited every other person. We have to bring the players. They will create competition which at the end of the day makes every other player better.”
