OMOTOLA WARNS THOSE TAGGING HER DAUGHTER'S PICTURES 'HOT' AND 'SEXY'

Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has issued a strong note of warning to bloggers especially those who shared her daughter, Meraiah’s birthday pictures and tagged it “hot and “sexy” few days ago. The beautiful actress took to her facebook account to address the situation adding that she would do “everything within my power to bring ANYONE to justice who does this with any of my under aged kids.”. Read her statement below.
“Thank you to everyone who wished Meraiah a happy birthday. However, going to a 14 year old’s “private” online accts to post her pictures for public viewing is totally Inappropriate . Her father and I are horrified as parents and guardian that a minor’s picture can be paraded online as hot” ,”sexy” etc…We know the bloggers probably meant no harm but in a world full of pedophiles and sickos every adult with morales should know where to draw the line. This was started by a lady called Kemi filani , she has since apologized and taken down content but her reckless blog post lives on.

I WILL NOT hesitate henceforth to use everything within my power to bring ANYONE to justice who does this with any of my under aged kids after “this” first time episode! Any child under 18 should be protected by us all and if their parents/guardian haven’t given you the okay to publish information especially “private” of their child, doing so, is against the law.
I hope you all understand, thanks.

MASTER CHEF: LIONEL MESSI SHOWS OFF CULINARY SKILLS

Most of these footballers often share pictures of them turning the barbecue or eating out in restaurants but hardly in the kitchen. So, ever wondered what Lionel Messi looks like in the kitchen? Well, here it is.
The Argentine footballer and Barcelona star, showed off his culinary skills to his teeming fans all over the world yesterday as he uploaded a video of him cooking dinner on his instagram page. He captioned it thus, “Lost a bet… And I had to cook!.”
I’m sure the bet was between him and girlfriend Antonella Roccuzzo cos they live together or probably his friend(s) who came around.

"KESHI EMBARRASSED THE COUNTRY IN CHAN COMPETITION"

The Nigeria Football Federation(NFF)'s decision to appoint a foreign technical assistant coach for Stephen Keshi has met a brick-wall as the current Super Eagles manager would rather have the NFF reinstate Sylvanus Okpala than a have a foreign coach. An NFF official told Vanguard newspaper Nigeria needs a technical assistant if they want to do well in the World Cup, "it is about Nigeria and not individual aspirations. We want to break the African record of a quarterfinal berth in the World Cup and from all indications we know that Keshi needs a help. He will still lead the technical crew to Brazil and will remain the head coach. But we just want to attach somebody to him for the sake of improving Nigeria's lot in the World Cup."Citing the recently-concluded CHAN competition, Suleiman Yahaya Kwande, another official stated that Keshi didn't pick the best players at the home front.
"Chigozia Agbim, for example, kept only two matches for his club throughout the season and has recently been dropped by his club, Enugu Rangers who registered four goal keepers and found him not good enough to be among their keepers. That's the keeper Keshi used in the CHAN competition and he embarrassed the country. He continued, "That cannot happen in football nations. We don't fold our arms while somebody leads us astray. If you closely watch our league you will find out that those who played CHAN in South Africa were not our best, some may not even make the second team of the bests in our league. We want to be sure that we make a true representation of the current best of Nigerian football in Brazil and a new hand may not give in to the kind of sentiments that we have noticed in the team now.""We have two goalkeepers that were rated the best in the Nigeria Premier League last season from Enyimba Football Club and Kano Pillars. None of these goalkeepers were called up by Keshi. We ought to have got a better striker from the local league compared with the ones we paraded in Chan. I don't know and I can't remember the last time or ever hearing that Keshi has gone round to watch Enyimba Football Club, Kano Pillars or Bayelsa United football clubs play another team. I think we should try and localise this competition more, I believe we will do better."
