‘I would have been disappointed to see Luis Suarez go to Arsenal’- Steven Gerrard.

Steven Gerrard just made more enemies in Arsenal fans. The Liverpool captain reportedly told embattled Uruguayan striker, Luis Suarez that he was pleased with his decision to join Barcelona adding that an Arsenal move wouldn’t have been too good.

“His dream from the first day he came was to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona. Last summer when he was out in the cold and training on his own that’s the conversation I had with him. I said: ‘Don’t go to Arsenal. I would have been really sad and disappointed to see Luis go to Arsenal. With all due respect to them, I said to him that he was too good for Arsenal. I said if you score 30 goals for us and win the PFA player of the year, the press player of the year – I knew he was going to win them – I told him Real or Barcelona will come for you.”

He continued, “I’m disappointed to see him leave now but I am happy for him that’s he has got what he wants and deserves. Since day one he has been phenomenal in training every day and in the games. I think he got the wrong advice last year from people around him, from people saying he needed to play in the Champions League and it did not matter who it was for.

“I have experience of the Spanish clubs myself and I know if you play well they will come back and come back. I knew they’d be back for him as well. I just thought for his own sake, to get respect off the Liverpool fans, he had to give us at least one year. A lot of people might still think he should have given us one more, but my big dream was to play for Liverpool, and the foreign players’ big dream is to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona, that’s a fact.” He concluded.

President Goodluck Jonathan launches new 64-page e-passport

Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan today July 30, 2014 launched a new 64-page e-passport in Abuja for frequent travellers and business persons. The 64 page e-passport will cost N20,000 and it takes effect from August 1, 2015.

Speaking at the launch of the travelling document which took place at the council chambers of the Presidential Villa, the President stated that “What affects every traveller is how efficient and committed our immigration officers work at our airports. Visitors that come into the country have different impressions about our immigration officers, so they must improve; they are the image of this country. How they handle visitors matters so much, if they conduct themselves poorly, it reflects on all of us.”

He continued, “The issue of the image of the country is what we will all work for, both people in government, the media and civil society and I always say that when people continue to paint their country with all kinds of colours, that is the way they will associate those colours with your green passport. I want a situation that whenever you travel to another country and you raise your green passport, people will appreciate you and not when you raise your green passport, people will begin to think that that green passport signify some suspicious character.

“We are not helping ourselves when we paint ourselves the colours that we are not supposed to bear. I wish to continue to appeal to all Nigerians that we must all collectively learn how we do our things, statements that we make, to paint brighter colours for our green passport. If our passport could be easily faked by criminals, then we will have problems. One thing again is that how can Nigerians be able to get passport easily especially those living outside this country,” he concluded.

10 things that make you a perfect wife-material

Here are the 10 tips you must know towards being a “Wife-Material” (from a guys point of view). These are the key pointers on how best to become a WIFE to your about-to-propose boyfriend. Deep down as a woman, you”ll know if you are a “chord, lace, Guinea, or tissue paper” material, 5,2,1,20 or 100 yards

(1.) TALK LESS:-

Most ladies are chatter boxes and it could be fun at first, but you just have to have those senses to know when your man needs a break! Most ladies would even try to keep you awake just because she hasn’t arrived at the apex of the very long story. As a lady, keep your spouse in suspense by cutting the most intriguing part of the story, your spouse will wake up earlier than usual, just to hear the concluding part.

(2.) OLIVER TWIST:-
It is good for men to spend heavily on their women, I am a strong supporter of showing your wealth through the appearance of your woman But must you nag him out just because caroline’s husband bought her a Range-Rover? NO! One funny thing is; Men reward naturally and whatever your man gives you is either how best he values you or how best he can afford it. Simple!
Although some guys are stingier than others but trust me, it is in your place to do your part and not demand at every slightest opportunity (of course unless he gives you way lesser than he earns).

(3). SUPPORT:-
Support! That’s what women globally do!, don’t sit and watch him do it all, even if he’s a billionaire, there are times he would need you to take up some responsibilities (financial wise) and that is where your self respect emerges.
This is important especially when the relationship is getting serious and you now have access to his house, eg: pay the cable tv bills, fill the gas cylinders etc. These would make him double whatever kind of respect he has for you.

(4.) LOOK THE PART:-
Dress as you would be addressed, you want to be a wife? Be it! Don’t go about looking the “girl friend”, be a grown woman through your appearance, remember at this stage he isn’t wooing you no more, so dress decently but still maintain a minimal level of sexiness (as guys never get tired of seeing sexy ladies). And always reinvent your self, never feel because your man loves you so much you would relax and forget to either make your hair or apply some lip gloss. Men are moved by what they see!

(5.) SPEAK THE PART:-
Take away the “you” and replace with the “we”; eg; baby when are you going to get the new generator? That is wrong if you have plans to be in his life longer than you’ve ever lived, it should rather be “baby, when are WE going to get the new generator?”. This makes a man feel indebted to you and shows to him that you do not plan on going anywhere anytime soon.

(6.) KNOW HIS FAMILY:-
This is traditionally the most important of all because you just have to deal with his family members regardless your likes or dislikes for them, get to know them and make them accept you (without cheapening your self, remember he isn’t doing you a favour by marrying you). Be civil and maintain your dignity and prestige.

(7.) COOK! :-
COOK his meals not ORDER Them! There’s no much talk here, if you can’t cook? Go back to mama! Because trust me, even if he prefers ordered meals, he would one day be insulted by his friends and family. Men don’t joke with food/stomach, you’ll see him in another colour when he comes back and the only thing staring at him are junk foods. It’s a shame for you to be told/begged to cook. If he has been spending heaven and earth on you, it’s only fair for you to reward him with sumptuous meals especially his favourites.

(8.) BE AVAILABLE:-

The minute your man begins to beg for your presence and can’t get enough of you, the “adamic-nature” takes over. Ladies be very careful, give that man some you!.

(9.) RESPECT HIS PRIVACY:-
Don’t go asking for his phone’s Pin-code et al, you might just find out more than you can handle, save yourself the stress and allow the nigga have some privacy, if he’s with his friends and you sense he needs privacy, GIVE HIM! He’s bonded with those brothers before you came into the scene, never make your husband look like a weakling in the presence of his friends and family, by making them feel you are in control.

(10.) PRAY FOR HIM:-
The reason why you must pray for him is because you are also securing your future, if it gets better for him, it does so for you too. Be his spiritual backbone and strength as women are known to be more prayerful than men.
