The Portuguese like I mentioned earlier recorded 34 goals and 10 assists last season along with 20 and 4 in 17 Liga games this season. His decisive hat-trick against Sweden in November did not only propel Portugal into the World Cup-Ronaldo but also wowed his fans and . Lastly, the extension of the voting deadline also “ruled” in his favour.
Congrats to the Real Madrid hitmaker.

WHAT TINSEL HAS BROUGHT TOGETHER! DAMILOLA ADEGBITE AND CHRIS ATTOH ARE ACTUALLY DATING.

They actually look good together. Dunno if the "spotting" or "eyeing" was done on Tinsel or Flower girl location(s) but the news is the ex Tinsel stars, Damilola Adegbite (Telema Duke) and Chris Attoh (Kwame Mensah) are in a steamy relationship and No, this isn't a script from the series/movie. They are for real.

I remember the day Dammy was invited as a guest on Jara and she was asked to pick between Blossom and Chris, she laughed and said, "Chris…. I love dark guys". So she was actually giving us a clue. The lovebirds were spotted few months ago, September to be precise at the London premiere of Flower Girl and then recently in Ghana. " I miss you terribly Nii. Can't wait to be in your arms…" The screen goddess wrote on her Instagram page.

Who wants them to end up like Chucks and Ene? Their marriage got us smiling for a long time. We hope they'll make theirs official too.

MIKEL OBI'S CAF AWARD LOSS: HON PATRICK OBAHIAGBON SAID WHAT AGAIN?

The don has spoken, who are we not to listen/read? Meanwhile, have you all put your iron jackets on? The Chief of Staff, Edo State Government House, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon has reacted to Nigerian/Chelsea midfielder, John Mikel Obi's CAF award loss, he considers it……….well, whatever you make of his speech.

"I am maniacally bewildered, overgassted and flabberwhelmed at the paraplegic crinkum crankum that characterised the Glo CAF awards culminating in an od oriferous saga cum gargantuan gaga! The jiggery pokery of CAF in crowning Yaya Toure instead of our very own prodigy John Obi Mikel is a veritable bugaboo that must be pooh-poohed by all compos mentis homo sapiens! The perfidy and Mendacity of all the apparatchic of sports suzerainty is not only repugnant but also insalubrious!

I said to my self: What an anathematous disdain of the citizenry! What a deprecable descent from the sublime to the ridiculous! Who will curb the odoriferous excesses of this machavellian and mephistophelean cabal in the Confederation? With this state of affairs, i dare say that African football is swimming in a pestilential aqua with a disastrious terminus ad quem inherently laden with avoidable cataracts, ice bergs and oxbow Lakes. It is sardonic and lugubrious!!!"

*longest sigh ever*
