DESMOND ELLIOT GOES INTO POLITICS

Actor cum director, Desmond Elliot is also delving into politics. That reads like a movie script right? I was taken aback too, that's because we all know he looks too cool for that. The prolific producer said his interest in politics has deep roots, according to him, there many things are going wrong in the society and he wants to come in as an agent of change.

According to BON, the Producer is vying for a seat in the House of Representative, Surulere constituency and hopefully under Lagos State Governorship aspirant, Jimi Ajegbe's Labour Party.

By the way, I learnt candidates can enrol with a minimum Secondary School Certificate of Education (SSCE) qualification, so if you’re really cut out for the drama thing, you can apply.

The way the team has changed in the past couple of years, especially with the younger players, we were hungry for success. I think winning the Africa Cup of Nations was the big one for me.”

CHELSEA FANS PUT SAMUEL ETO'O ON A BLAST FOR 'CELEBRATING' LOSS

Almost the same thing Adebayor and Benoit Assou-Ekotto did few days ago. Chelsea fans were left terrible angered after Samuel Eto'o tweeted a picture seemingly celebrating the blues' loss to Sunderland yesterday. The picture which featured the 2-1 scoreline and his "SE29" logo was posted few hours after the game. Fans took to their twitter accounts to show their discontent and lambast the Cameroonian for the snide tweet.

See Reactions below

@Coolwhale_mufc: MOURINHO should have allowed ETO'O to go and start selling roasted corn in his village as he previously stated…

@TheChelseaWay: Eto'o or his PR team were stupid for posting that picture. Utterly unprofessional and disrespectful.

@SuperrNoodlesss: Really wanna have a massive go at Eto'o but he's not worth it, not worthy of playing for us either

@Ally Mackay: "That pictures not (sic) even from tonight's game. Clearly knows what he's doing here."

@BigManMcKenna: next eto'o will tweet a picture from Moscow 2008
