Tables do turn! Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Samuel Eto'o's nasty quotes before joining Chelsea

Eden Hazard, Cesc Fabregas and Samuel Eto’o were never fans of Chelsea FC at some points in their lives, not to talk of dreaming of wearing the colours of The Blues. Below are some anti-Chelsea quotes they spewed few years back. Well, tables do turn. And what do we have today? They are all Chelsea players now (well, Samuel has left); talk about eating back their words!
Eden Hazard: “With all respect to Chelsea, I’d rather join a club with history such as Liverpool or Arsenal”.
Samuel Eto’o: “I’d rather sell peanuts in my village of birth, rather than playing in a club as pathetic as Chelsea”.
Cesc Fabregas: “If I ever wear a Chelsea shirt, you have permission to kill me”





Watch your back Fabregas!!!

5 things a Gentleman MUST NOT do to his Hair.

Hello gents; its been a while you heard from me, well I’m back and better! With this very insightful article every male; especially one who wants to be seen as “mature” or “grown” should run 800miles away from.

5 things a Gentleman MUST NOT do to this hair.

(1.) TINTING OF HAIR
Whether it is a portion or the full hair, if its not a black dye? Do not apply it! Simple… A male with a coloured hair is easily seen as either gay, irresponsible or fixated, except you are a celebrity and it fetches you food and fame else there’s no apology. Gentlemen from twenty five (25) have long grown over this trend.

(2.) BRAIDING OF HAIR

Do not be deceived, most ladies who find this look sexy just wants your lower hemisphere! And not your RING. Reason is that you are seen as sexy or cool but not mature, so dudes eat some brains and kill off this “swag” because it only makes you look “30 going on 13” and trust me; your fiance would beg you to loose your braids when its time for you to see her parents, so please of what use is this? Oh well; except you are an actor portraying a role, a model shooting for some designer who wants that look or a footballer/ musician who earns enough $$$ to break the “rules”.

(3. HAIR EXTENSIONS
You might be wondering if it’s true, but yes it is! Some men have extensions and don’t be shocked to know that two of Nigeria’s celebrities are a fan of extensions; PHYNO and DENRELE EDUN. While theirs is artistic and meant for on-screen branding, the guy next door who adds extensions to his braids or whatever you guys do that involves someone else’s hair being sewn or plaited into your own hair is most offensive.

(4.) PONY TAIL
Now, I won’t be wrong to say this look was the “Old Nollywood bad-boy look” because we grew up seeing Pat Attah and Jim Iyke being kings of the grown hair/pony tail…….. But I just have one thing to say on this look, “ABOLISH IT!!”, this look died long ago and won’t return except on TVs/Cinemas near you! LOL

(5.) CURLS
If your curls are gotten after 6 minutes of applying a hair relaxer to your hair then don’t FAB IT, worse if you add an activator to the already relaxed hair to spring up curls that never had any natural business with your hair, but if yours is from your gene or gift from the most high then “FAB IT” because you were “BORN THIS WAY” hehe, but for me oh; its an old and dead look especially for NEGROS!

Short Story: Boom | By: Ogechi Nwobia

Saturday night, I’d planned it perfectly. Nothing could go wrong. My life had taken on an all new direction and I was happy; that budding happiness that would grow and grow into a bundle of immeasurable joy.
I sat in the restaurant and waited for Deji. My precious Deji. Deji whose smile lit up my world. Oloworimi. The one who had my heart, my love and my life. I was a lost cause where he was concerned. I didn’t listen to anyone or think of anything else. Mum said I was jazzed. My friends said they would pray for me. I could not be bothered. Deji was my world and they had to accept it.
He walked in, smiling as always. That smile that gripped my heart and caused it to do several back flips. That smile that left pretty butterflies dancing about in my tummy. I had known that smile for two years. Yes, we had been together that long. And he was everything. The kind of man I’d always dreamt of. Only he was frequently out of town on business so I did not get to see him as often as I wanted. But I was content. He made me content.

“Iyawo mi”
I blushed. He always called me that. All his friends did too. How could anyone not envy my life?
I got up and kissed him. He took his seat directly opposite me and smiled as he spoke.
“How are you darling?”
“I’m doing great. Long day at the office, but I feel alright now, I’m with you.”
I really did feel alright being with him and my insides were just about bursting with my good news. I watched him uncap the bottle of wine and pour some into our glasses then I signalled to the waiter, my partner in crime. He knew what to do and in less than five minutes, he returned, placed a dish in front of Deji, smiled, bowed and walked away. Deji looked at me in amusement.
“What is this love?”
I had a big grin on my face as I replied
“Just open it.”
He did and for a couple of seconds, just stared at the grilled fish in front of him. The chef had taken his time to carefully inscribe the word “DADDY” on the fish.
He looked at me with a nervous smile and asked
“What’s the meaning of this?”
I looked at him smiling brightly, bursting at my seams with excitement.

“You’re gonna be a daddy! Baby, we’re pregnant!”
I looked at him expectantly. He was shocked and I began to laugh expecting him to laugh with me and take me in his arms any second. Instead, he broke into a cold sweat and all the warmth disappeared from his eyes.

“We’re not pregnant, you are. I have a wife and four kids. I don’t need any more…”
