"JOSE MOURINHO IS NOT A COACH"- ONIGBINDE
He was asked who the best coach is amongst Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho. His point: "Mourinho is a coordinator and not a coach. He will collect the best players in his team and co-ordinate them. Wenger and Ferguson are better coaches because they believe in football development".
On his take on Messi and Ronaldo, he claims Messi is a team player while his nemesis is not.
"Any football player who wants to be a superstar should go into tennis or boxing. Messi plays for his team. He doesn't see himself bigger than his team. Sports fitness has various segments. We have the technical, physical, mental and so on. If a player is good in three and excellent in one of the areas and you have another player who is more than average in all the other segments, who is the better of the two?". He elucidated.
What's your take?

NIGERIAN IDOL UPDATE: MOSES IS THE MAN
Moses, aka "the teddy bear" blew the competition out of the water as well as getting one of the "pimp spots" of the evening (usually the first, second to last and last performances of the evening), he sang a stunning version of Maroon 5's ''She will be loved''.
The crowd and the judges were duly impressed with guest judge for the evening, Sasha P, telling him, "For the first time this evening, I have no 'but'." And Jeffrey Daniel, one of the permanent judges on the panel told him, "You take us on a journey every time you sing!"
His singing was spot on, and it looked like he took Judge Femi Kuti's advice on keeping up the performance throughout the song. He started off really weirdly though, stroking some velvet cape on his cheek. Still, the rest of the performance was strong and he sailed through.
At this point, it looks like the teddy bear has grown some claws, and is using them to claw his way to the top, head and shoulders above the other competitors. Who can beat him?
Check out their performances on www.youtube.com/NigerianIdol, and tell them what you think!

D'BANJ AND MANAGER CALL IT QUITS!
Bankuli, who took over from D'banj's erstwhile Manager, Sunday Are last year after his break-up with the Mo'hits crew parted ways with him the entertainer after series of heated arguements.
Hip Hop World magazine learns that it all started after the 2012 Koko Concert, Bankuli made a trip to Paris to work on Kanye West's next album without informing D'banj. That apparently didn't go down well with the latter and probably was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
