The touching story behind Cristiano Ronaldo's new haircut

If you saw the game between Portugal and USA last night, you would have noticed World best footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo’s new funky haircut. He might not have tossed the net yet but the Real Madrid talisman is making headlines at the moment.

The haircut initially attracted a lot of negative comments from fans who claimed he should focus on registering his name in the World Cup score-sheet rather than enriching barbers but in actual fact it was a tribute to a cancer patient.

According to reports, the zig-zag shaved into the Portuguese’s hair is to match the scar of a young fan, Erik Ortiz Cruz who recently had his brain tumor removed. Ronaldo actually paid £50,000 for his surgery. He might be a little selfish on pitch, but he is one thing off pitch, Selfless. And that’s not the first time he’ll be footing patients’ hospital bills. You’ve got to respect him for that seeming little act.

Ekiti Gubernatorial Election: Read Kayode Fayemi's concession speech

Governor Kayode Fayemi; following his defeat at the just-concluded elections in Ekiti State has issued a concession speech. He did not only congratulate his Peoples Democratic Party counterpart, he also described his victory as an expression of the voice of the Ekiti people.

In o kun o Ekiti kete.

Yesterday, Ekiti State decided. Following the gubernatorial elections held in the land of honour, Ekiti State, Nigeria, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially returned the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as the winner of the election.

If indeed this is the will of the Ekiti People, I stand in deference to your will. If the result of the elections is an expression of the voice of our people, we must all heed your voice.

I have just spoken with my brother, Mr. Peter Ayodele Fayose, congratulating him on his victory. In a few hours from now, I would be meeting the Governor-elect to discuss the future of our dear state and how we would work together to institute a smooth transition programme.

It has been a hard fought election. As expected, in the course of the campaigns, there were unsavory episodes as the candidates toured the nooks and crannies of the state to sell ourselves to the people. Elections tend to be highly divisive affairs that often see brother rising against brother. Despite our diverse party affiliations, and regardless of which way we voted on Saturday, we must remember that we are all sons and daughters of Ekiti State. Ekiti is ours to build together.

On our part, over the course of the campaigns, we presented our scorecards before the people of Ekiti State. We never at any point took your support for granted. We campaigned, we canvassed and we traversed the nooks and crannies of this State. Our performance and achievements in office will remain the backdrop against which the next government and indeed future governments will be assessed. We are proud that with the support of Ekiti people, we have raised the bar of excellence in governance. In all, we gave our best, for conscience and for posterity.

Indeed a new sociology of the Ekiti people may have evolved. However, the task of understanding how the outcome of this election has defined us as a people will be that of scholars. For us as an administration and a cadre of political leaders in Ekiti State, we have fought a good fight, we have kept faith.
To members of our party, our campaign team and indeed all Ekiti people who defied the siege on our state to cast their votes for our party, I salute your exemplary courage and doggedness in the face of harassment.

Thank you for staying the course. The incidences of brazen harassment, intimidation and allied infractions on fundamental human rights, which many of you suffered in the hands of agents of the state, would be documented and communicated to the appropriate authorities, for the records.

I thank you all for listening.

May God bless the land of honour, Ekiti State, Nigeria.

May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Dr. Kayode Fayemi
Governor, Ekiti State

Lamar Odom reportedly wants Khloe Kardashian back.

Awww! They used to be my favourite TV couple until the worse happened. Even though the latter has moved on and is now in a sizzling relationship with rapper, French Montana, their chances of getting back are not really slim. Well, we hope so. You would recall that the basketballer and his TV reality star wife parted ways sometime in December last year after accusations of infidelity and cocaine addiction was levelled against Lamar.

The 34 year-old according to a source is now remorseful and determined to save their 4-year marriage. “Lamar wants Khloé back. He does not want to end the marriage, and that’s why he won’t sign the divorce papers. He just won’t let her go. He’s sober and back on track now – and thinks he can get her back.” The source hinted.
