Former Presidential aspirant, Professor Pat Utomi would be the special guest of honour at the Talent Meets Class, a special pre-awards event holding, slated for October 15 at Oriental, Victoria Island, Lagos.

According to the executive producer, Seun Oloketuyi, "Talent Meets class is one of the highlights of the annual BON Awards because it provides us, Nollywood stakeholders, the rare opportunity of meeting with high-networth Nigerians, brand managers, top executives, and top celebrities for networking and unwinding purposes in a convivial atmosphere."

Speaking on the choice of Utomi as special guest for the Talent Meets Class, Oloketuyi said the 57 year-old established entrepreneur is one of the most cerebral minds in Nigeria today with a cult-like followership among Nigeria's informed and discerning demography.

"Professor Utomi has come to exemplify a special conception of heroism based on his track record of excellence in the corporate world, as a policy analyst and public affairs commentator. He is also very receptive to sharing his wealth of ideas with the younger generation. We cant wish for a better special guest," he said.

A cocktail affair, the event would also feature short speeches, meet-and-greet and photo ops with the special guest and celebrities. Meanwhile, the BON Awards, now in its fifth year, is going ahead to create a new Guinness World Record by laying the longest red carpet ever laid for any event.

This year's awards ceremony, which would be hosted by comedian and MC extraordinaire, Gbenga Adeyinka the 1st and popular On-Air-Personality, Wana, holds on November 9 in Asaba, Delta State.

Culled from Manchester Evening News. Retired Manchester United boss, Alex Ferguson during an interview with US TV network PBS revealed that David Beckham lost his focus after his marriage to Victoria Beckham of the defunct Spice Girls music group.

"As a young kid when I got him at 12 years of age his great desire was some of the best football. He was a fantastic trainer, practised all the time. At night-time he would come by with the schoolboys and practise with them. And he was in that collection.

And then of course, his life changed, when he married the girl from The Spice Girls, yeah. And his focus changed.

He got drawn into the – that celebrity status, you know? And for me, I'm a football man. He lost the focus. And when we sold him to Real Madrid, he did well."

The 72 year-old Scottish also expressed shock over the English footballer's move to LA, "I couldn't believe that he goes to LA Galaxy. I couldn't believe that. I couldn't understand that. I would never do that, you know? If I was going to go, I would be making sure he would go to the best, and Real Madrid was the best, I would say, and United.

"But he reinvented himself. He goes and plays for the English national team for a couple more years. He goes and plays for AC Milan in the European Cup. He's unbelievable. He really is – and good, well done to him. You can't argue with the status he has in life.Well, for me, it would have pleased me more to see him be a great, great player, you know? As I said, I'm a football man. But how can I argue with life?

On the 38 year-old model's achievement, Fergie noted, "He's an icon for young people… and represents himself the proper way. And I say well done. Amazing boy, yeah. I mean, how he has created himself. He's fantastic. Wonderful boy."
