HOW SWEET! C RONALDO RESPONDS TO SEPP BLATTER'S 'HAIRSTYLE' COMMENTS

A mature response! The idea of comparing Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona playmaker, Lionel Messi is not new, infact so many sports pundits/legends and even fans have at one point or the other expressed their opinions about the world best footballers. It subsists till today.

The other time it was Jose Mourinho lashing out at the Portuguese, the baton is now with FIFA president, Sepp Blatter. The latter described the Portuguese in a video as a commander on the field, and again while speaking at Oxford University last week, Blatter said he preferred Lionel Messi to Ronaldo because the ex-Manchester United player spends more money on his hairstyle than the Argentine.

Responding to Blatter's comment on his facebook page, Ronaldo wrote, "This video shows clearly the respect and consideration that FIFA has for me, for my club and my country. Much is explained now. I wish Mr. Blatter health and a long life, with the certainty that he will continue to witness, as he deserves, the successes of his favourite teams and players."

Blatter after getting reports/letters from Real Madrid and the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) defended his statements, "In response to a question about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the moderator asked me to choose between one of the two and, in this moment having commented that Messi is the type of son all mothers would like to have, I ended up saying his name.

"However, I want to make it clear that for me Cristiano Ronaldo is at the same level as Messi and that they are both exceptional players, each one in their own way. It was never my intention to upset or show a lack of respect towards Real Madrid, one of their players or

their fans."

YAYA TOURE JOINS UN CAMPAIGN AGAINST POACHING

The 2013 Ballon d'Or nominee says there are about 800 elephants left in his country, Ivory Coast, he really wants the powerful animals protected. Yaya Toure who has been named UN ambassador is participating in the organization's campaign against poaching (the killing of elephants).

Speaking on the choice of the Ivory Coast international as an ambassador, UNEP Executive Director, Achim Steiner stated that he is a 'particularly powerful African voice' who would inspire action in efforts to tackle environmental challenges.

On the issue of poaching, Toure during his unveiling mentioned that it threatens the very existence of the African elephant. "And if we do not act now, we could be looking at a future in which this iconic species is wiped out."

"Ivory Coast's national team is named "The Elephants" after these magnificent creatures that are so full of power and grace, yet in my country alone there may be as few as 800 individuals left." The Manchester City defensive midfielder added.

MERCY JOHNSON HOPES HER HUSBAND DOESN'T SEE THESE PHOTOS

I’ve read series of negative comments on these photographs and I’ve been asking, why have people not come to terms with the fact that Mercy Johnson is a daring and really talented actress. Her acting range is quite expansive, she’s carried the role of a fighter, a street hawker, a blind girl etc. She saw it (being dragged in the mud) as part of her job and went for it, she wouldn’t have attempted it if she wasn’t up to the task.

Besides, we get wowed when we see such scenes in foreign films and big deal if our actors do the same? Albeit, this is going to cost the producer some extra bucks. *winks*. The mother of one tweeted about it “So crazyyyyyyy but fun, “honestly hoping my husband never sees this”lolzzzzz “
