Nig/Iran clash: "Odemwingie did not follow my instructions"- Keshi

Super Eagles Manager, Stephen Keshi has revealed that Stoke City forward, Osaze Odemwingie who came in during the second half of the game did not follow his instructions during Nigeria’s goalless draw against Iran on Monday and his poor performance also affected the team.

He told BBC World Service, “The Osaze you are talking about didn’t do well. Osaze did not play to instruction and that affected the team. We expected three points from this game but everybody knows the most important game is between ourselves and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Next game I think will be easier and I think that will be the decider of where we will be at this World Cup.”

" I just decided to change my lifestyle." RMD speaks on his weight loss

Contrary to reports that veteran Nollywood actor turned political appointee, Richard Mofe-Damijo is nursing a life-threatening ailment, the Delta State Commissioner for Culture and Tourism is hale and hearty. Tongues started wagging when he appeared at a recent function looking slim and many quickly concluded that all is not well with his health. RMD as fondly called in a recent interview with Sunday Sun debunked the tales; he disclosed that his new look has nothing to do with ill-health, rather he decided to shed off some weight and live a healthier life.
“I woke up one morning, to be precise May 9th last year, and I weighed 120kg. I said this cannot go on. Neither of my parents crossed 60kg. I thought it would be sinful for me to keep eating and putting on weight and living an unhealthy life. I decided to just change my lifestyle. I didn’t diet, what I’m doing now is not dieting. I hate to use the word diet because when you say you are dieting you have to stop at one point. What I did was to change my lifestyle.
“What I did was to get somebody who knows about food. A lot of people don’t succeed when they diet because they don’t understand food. They diet, they drink a lot of shakes, tablets and all of that and after a month they become bigger than they were. What I did was very simple. It’s all about knowing the kind of food you eat and what it contains. I have a daughter (Onome) from my late wife, who is obsessed with calories, weight gain and weight loss. She was with me all through Christmas and New Year. She’s 26. I love what I do now; I just eat well and exercise.

“I feel lighter, but there are lots of people who feel I am too slim now. It’s about how I feel inside. I’m at my best physically. I have never felt better. I feel lighter, I don’t suffer indigestion. Now I weigh about 97kilos.” He affirmed.

Cristiano Ronaldo hits back at Wayne Rooney, "One player is not a team."

Don’t get it wrong. This has nothing to do with Portugal’s defeat yesterday. It all started during an interview with Manchester United star, Wayne Rooney on his preparations for the World Cup. He stated that unlike his former team mate Cristiano Ronaldo, he’s not driven by personal glory, rather he is after team success.

”I’m not a player who needs a legacy like Cristiano, he has to have that. I’m more about winning as a team. You can see how he is. He wants his moments. It’s more important for me to win trophies as a team. I’ve won PFA Player of the Year, which is nowhere near as good as winning a trophy with Manchester United. I’ve not won anything this year, so hopefully I can do that now.”

Responding to his comments, the Portugal player said he’s has nothing to show anyone. “Look at my statistics and my CV – I have nothing to prove. My career has been great so far and I just want that to continue. But I believe that one player is not a team. I am here to help the team. I am an additional player and I can make a difference, but I can’t carry the team on my back.” He added.

Kemi Olunloyo would never marry a Nigerian man for the following reasons…

Controversial activist and daughter of a former Oyo state governor, Kemi Omololu-Olunloyo shared this “interesting” piece on her social media pages. These are reasons why she would never marry a Nigerian man. Before you go further, here’s a little about her (culled from her blog whoismskemi.blogspot.com)

“Kemi is 46, lives in Ibadan, Oyo Nigeria with her mother.. Bi-Polar, Unmarried, Arrested and deported from Canada, warrants for her arrest in Georgia USA. Has 3 bastard children, desperate to become a martyr, father was a governor for 3 MONTHS, overthrown because he’s a thief. She suffers from brain damage, obsessed with the internet and celebrities. Documented Delusional, Sociopath, Scizophrenic,Narcissist.”

Back to the main issue.

“Why must I marry a Nigerian man? 90% of my fans are males on social media. Nigerian men don’t work, they steal, lie and most of all they SMELL. These guys don’t know what an ordinary deodorant is. They stink of sweat, urinate on the streets and absolutely not worth my time. If I married one it was for the money and I will prolly have him killed later by a hired assassin. Most Nigerian women do”

“Most Nigerian women don’t speak out. They are beaten, raped and killed by their own husbands yet they tell me my “mates” are in their husbands house. Yeah right suffering as an award winning wife and getting divorced. 90% of my classmates are divorced and claim they were beaten! 3 DIED! Nigerian women living LIES!! Why is some lady called Funmi Iyanda talking on abusive marriages in the Tribune saying your men should be excommunicated?

I thought my mates were married and happy?You f**king DUMB bitches are being beaten to a pulp and u stay there to get your title of Mrs? F**k Nigerian men and the women who sit in their domain. U need to get a gun and BLOW your husband’s brain OUT if he touches you!”

Odikwa serious matter! *lips sealed*
