SIGNING GARETH BALE A BIG ERROR BY MADRID- DOCTOR

That footballers sustain injuries is a fact that shouldn't be subject to any arguement. What however makes that of world's most expensive player, Gareth Bale a hot topic is the way Madrid according to spanish media is playing down the seriousness of the injury.

A spanish Doctor Dr Avelino Parajon however thinks buying the star was a big error and rip off. He has his reasons, "If Real Madrid have signed Gareth Bale knowing about this protrusion, they have committed an error. That is not to say that tomorrow it can be operated on and he can continue playing, like has happened many times.

"But if he already has problems with protruding discs, that indicates that it is not a one-off. When a person has those problems at that age, it suggests that he has a great possibility of suffering herniated discs and symptoms arising from that over time. It is a bad sign for any athlete."

Madrid was quick enough to debunk A spanish print media (Marca)'s earlier report that the £86million ex Spurs striker has a slipped disc and needs surgery. "He only has small chronic disc protrusion, which is extremely common among football players and that does not in any case affect them in the normal course of their duties." They stated.

All the best Bale. Wish him speedy recovery

SAVE PA KASUNMU: GOVERNOR FASHOLA INTERVENES

I heard the news yesterday but I wanted to be sure of my facts. Contrary to the news making rounds that the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola donated the sum of N2million for the medical bills of ailing actor, Kayode Odumosu, popularly called Pa Kasunmu, he only assigned a team of medical doctors to review his case and refer him to specialists.

According to Seun Oloketuyi, CEO, Best of Nollywood, "He was reached and the Government house doctors were given strict instructions to take him to a specialist and recommend what necessary treatment he requires. There is no where Gov Fashola and his aides discussed money with anyone, the N2m donation is totally false. The Governor is a structured person and due process is being done to ensure Pa kasunmu gets the best treatment"

The 60 year old actor has been battling with Kidney and liver related ailment since 2009. He recently reached out to well-meaning Nigerians to help him raise the sum of N12m for his treatment (secondary prevention of repeat stroke)

ITALIAN DESIGNER SHOWS OFF D'BANJ'S GIUSEPPE ZANOTTI SNEAKERS

When D'banj says "When u are big, u are big, when u large u are in charge.. I'm humbled big G." Really, who wouldn't agree? He 'lives' those words. The award-winning singer posted the (above) picture of renowned Italian designer, Giuseppe Zanotti flaunting a customized pair of his sneakers. Apparently a fan of the designer shoes.

ROBIN VAN PERSIE MAKES HISTORY

Manchester United/Dutch striker is certainly still drooling over this huge feat. In the recent game between Holland and Hungary which ended 8-1, not only did he net in a hat-trick, he's also emerged Holland's all-time leading goal scorer.Van Persie's 41 goals in 80 appearances has surpassed Patrick Kluivert's record.

I hope RVP will replicate this success in Manchester United. He doesn't necessarily have to out-score any legend (well that won't be bad) but scoring as many goals as possible and making the club come tops.

DAME PATIENCE JONATHAN GETS FOURTH HONORARY DOCTORATE DEGREE

In recognition of her immense contribution and commitment to many humanitarian projects, Hansei University, South Korea has honoured the First Lady of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan with a doctorate degree. She now has 4 doctorate degrees in her cabinet.

According to Sung-Hae Kim, President and Chancellor of the awarding institution, "She's a humanitarian who has dedicated her life to working for the less privileged in Nigeria and Africa especially for women and children. Her vision as the defender of the poor in Nigeria fits into Hansei University's motto of a practising Christian. Now she's part of our community.

"I was surprised that she travelled here for the Church Growth International conference year back to pray for Nigeria." Yonggi Cho, Co-founder, Hansei University also added.

Reacting to the honour, Dame Patience said "I was just doing my own thing not knowing that in far away Asia everything was being noted. I want to assure you all that with God's help I will do more, My grandma used to say: `Whatever little you have, share; If you have a thousand and you can't share, you won't share a million if you have".

Carry on Mama! *blushing endlessly*
