His joy however knew no bounds when Eto took part in the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK charity campaign and was told to meet him. Nathan arrived at the training ground to meet with his hero, along with parents and his elder brother.
Needless to say he had fun.
I'm sure that day would stick in his mind forever. 🙂

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has expressed his opinion over Juan Mata’s move from Chelsea to Manchester United. He deems the whole transfer issue typical of The Blue’s tactics especially because Chelsea have played Manchester United twice and have to face other rivals including the Gunners.
“I am surprised because Juan Mata is a great player and Chelsea sell a great player to a direct opponent. It opens again a little bit the opportunity of this
transfer market because Chelsea had already played twice against Man United so they don’t play again. They could have sold him last week but it opens at least the opportunity [to question] the dates of this transfer window.
Some teams have already played twice against one opponent and some others not. I think if you want to respect the fairness for everybody exactly the same, that should not happen. I just think you would want that everybody is on the same level. Chelsea do not make the rules but maybe the rules should be a bit more adapted to more fairness.”
Nigerian born Beatrice Hamza Bassey, the first African partner of one of the most prestigious law firms In the United States, Hughes Hubbard and Reed will feature on this week’s segment of African Voices, CNN’s International weekly half-hour programme highlighting Africa’s most engaging personalities. She tells how she plans to inspire others to follow in her footsteps.
In the interview with CNN correspondent Zain Asher, she talks about her childhood ambition to become a reputable lawyer, and how she opted for a higher education at Harvard Law School to achieve her goal. She plans to use her position and experience to influence aspirating young lawyers about good work ethic and integrity.
She says, “I’ve always wanted to be a lawyer and one of my major reasons was because I wanted to be able to speak against gender inequalities which is predominant in the Northern part of Nigeria where I grew up. Encouraging basic and higher education for women is also very important because this will bring about self-sustenance and reduce the poverty level in the country”.
A graduate of the University of Maiduguri and the Nigerian Law School and also an alumnus of Harvard Law School, this highly trained lawyer has shown expertise in her profession for almost two decades which is evident in the countless number of high profile cases she has handled for her firm.
She was listed among the Forbes Africa Magazine’s top ten Africans in New York City in 2012 and New York Super Lawyers, 2012 Top Women Attorneys in the New York Metro Area. She is also among the Empowered Newswire’s Nigeria’s Top 50 Award for the Most Outstanding Nigerian Lawyer in Diaspora, in October 2010, amongst other recognition.
