Money isn’t even a problem for the Real Madrid star! The staff stated that if he could give the massage team new watches and iPhones as Thank You presents in the past, getting their cars especially when he has added the second plaque in his museum shouldn’t be a big deal.
Children grow up “prettiest” fast these days. Can remember when Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa’s daughter was born. She. Looks like his father. Seeing Femi Adebayo’s kids for the first time too. The twin boys are quite handsome and the girl isn’t bad too
Manchester United star, Rio Ferdinand has lavished praises on his former teammate and friend Cristiano Ronaldo for his Ballon d’or award. The emotional tribute posted on the defender’s facebook page is coming less than 72 hours after the Real Madrid star clinched the prestigious title.
“Cristiano Ronaldo – what can I say… incredible achievement, proud of you bro. Cristiano is living proof that no matter how much talent you have as a youngster, you have to work hard in order to be successful.
My first memory of Cristiano was in a pre-season friendly against Sporting Lisbon. After the game, the lads were raving about him, trying to convince Sir Alex and Carlos Queiroz to sign him up. Never had I seen a more mesmerising performance from a youngster than I did that day, he amazed us all. A few days later, he was a United player.
When I first met Ronnie at Carrington, he came across as a really determined lad – a rough diamond who was prepared to work as hard as he could in order to fulfill his potential. Thousands of hours of graft both in the gym and on the training ground turned him into the perfect specimen.
I’m still truly astonished by the drive and determination to stay at the top, by not only Ronaldo, but Messi too. It’s been a joy to witness these two push each other week in week out. The question I ask however is: would they be as relentless in scoring so many goals without each other, breaking every record along the way?
We are blessed to be in an era where both Ronaldo and Messi have lit up the game in a way that has never been seen before.
Viva Ronaldo.
P.S – I tried and failed to twist his ear.

| Chiwetel Ejiofor |
The name Chiwetel Ejiofor might not easily ring a bell but as far as acting is concerned, the British-Nigerian actor is a force to reckon with, this is evident in the type of films he features in, nominations and prestigious awards on his shelf. Recently, he played the role of Odenigbo in writer, Chimamanda’s book turned movie, ‘Half Of a Yellow Sun.’ After losing out to Matthew Mcconaughey at the just-concluded 2014 Golden Globes awards, the prolific thespian has landed another huge nomination.
For his exceptionally brilliant performance in the movie, ’12 years a slave’, he has been shortlisted in the Best Actor category of this year’s Oscars. The ‘Dirty Pretty things’ star was nominated alongside Christian Bale (American Hustle), Bruce Dern (Nebraska), Leonardo Dicaprio (The Wolf of Wall Street), Matthew Mcconaughey (Dallas Buyers Club).
That’s not the only thing to keep in mind, he should also focus on impressing The Blues’ owner, Abrahimovia and the current boss, Jose Mourinho. The return of Benfica’s midfield ace, Nemanja Matic cost Chelsea a reported fee of €25m for a 5 and a half year contract.
The Serbian international who was given a number 21 jersey told his fans at Benfica after he was signed yesterday,
“I am very happy for this opportunity to be back at this club. I feel very good because of that and just want to say I will give my best to help the team and make the Chelsea fans happy.”
In attendance were the Executive Governor of the state, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola,his Deputy, Mrs Titi Laoye-Tomori; established writer and Nobel laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka and a host of other dignitaries. We are not sure the gigantic drum has earned a spot in the Guinness Book of Records as it has been argued in some quarters that the tallest drum in the world is in Delta State.
