"NIGERIA WILL CONTINUE TO DROP IN FIFA RANKING…." JOE ERICO
Reacting to Nigeria’s 3-step slide (from the 57th position to 60th) in the FIFA ranking report released today, former Super Eagles assistant coach Joe Erico is not surprised that Nigeria is lagging behind .
Erico believes that Nigeria will continue to drop on the ranking unless some cogent steps are taken and that includes stepping up the national team’s international matches and qualifying series.
“We have not worked hard and that is why we don’t deserve to be in high position on FIFA Ranking. Our sports administrators need to work hard if we want to move forward,” Erico complained.
Top Ten list
1) Spain
2) Germany
3) Uruguay
4) Netherlands
5) Portugal
6) Brazil
7) England
8) Croatia
9) Denmark
10) Argentina
ALL WORK AND NO PLAY: ARSENAL PLAYERS TAKE UP BALLET
Just four of them were involved; Wojciech Szczesny, Alex Song, Bacary Sagna and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
And of course they havn’t dumped soccer for ballet (they will ‘learn’ if they try it)
After a training session, the four stars teamed up with four dancers from the English National Ballet to promote the new Citroen DS5 car.

Vinai Venkatesham, Arsenal Head of Global Partnerships at Arsenal, said: ‘Our players really enjoyed the shoot, and the chance to demonstrate that their qualities of strength, agility, balance and focus are just as much a part of ballet as they are in football.’
My best Arsenal player is Song but I can’t imagine him dancing to ballet with that awkward steps of his O_O.lol

KANYE WEST TO FEATURE ON THE KARDASHIAN REALITY SERIES
Just to remind you that Kris Humphries’ chapter is finally closed! The news is not that 31 year old international model Kim has gotten another guy less than a year after her fairytale wedding to basketball star, Kris.
The deal is Kim’s in-thing (Kanye West) who made few appearances on the Keeping Up with the Kardashian reality TV show is expected to feature on the next season of the show.
According to a source, “Kanye is head over heels in love with Kim, and he has told her he would love to appear on the reality show if she wants him to. Kim is a bit leery of having her man appear on camera because of the whole fiasco with her soon-to-be-ex-husband, Kris Humphries, but watch for Kanye to make several appearances on the show towards the end of the season. Viewers won’t see him featured in the first part of the season, and it won’t be all about Kanye,”
Though Kanye sang about his girlfriend in his new song Theraflu confessing he fell in love with Kim when she was dating Humphries, Kanye West’s ex, Amber Rose claimed both had been hooked up long before now; that is, when Kim was with NFL star Reggie Bush and Kanye with Amber!
“Kim feels extremely comfortable with Kanye because she feels that for the first time she is with a partner that understands what she does for a living and doesn’t scrutinize her for being in a reality show….She also doesn’t feel like Kanye is using her, like she did with Kris.” The source hinted.
This love is unsmashable!

FACEBOOK FOUNDER TO ACQUIRE INSTAGRAM FOR $1BILLION
Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg has announced his intentions to buy a San-Francisco-based photo-sharing company Instagram for $1billion.
In a statement made yesterday, Mark said, "This is an important milestone for Facebook, because it's the first time we've ever acquired a product and company with so many users.
Facebook, whose stock is expected to start trading in May, will run Instagram as an independent company. Not much will change with the service. Consumers will still be able to run it on rival social networks such as Twitter."
Instagram an iPhone/Android application enables people apply filters to photos they snap with their mobile devices and share them with friends.
Owned by 27 year-old Kevin, the company which was founded in 2010 is expected to close by the end of June.
CELEBRITY LIST: LIKE FATHER LIKE SON
This week I’ll be talking on ‘Like father like son’ and this dwells on veteran celebrities who have made their mark in their chosen fields of endeavour and whose children are now toeing their paths.
While some are deceased others are still active and at times paired with their children in movies. Here’s my 7 list and as usual in alphabetic order.
1) Adebayo Salami (Oga Bello)/ Femi Adebayo
59 year-old Adebayo Salami is one of the most successful and most celebrated veteran actors in the Nigerian film industry. He’s starred in over 200 movies and garnered a lot of accolades.
His son Femi Adebayo who dumped his wig and gown for acting about 8 years ago is also doing incredibly well in the yoruba movie scene.
2) Adeyemi Afolayan (Ade Love)/Kunle, Aremu&Gabriel Afolayan
Adeyemi Afolayan (Ade Love) needs no introduction. Though now deceased, but in his lifetime the foremost filmmaker raised a lot of bars. Asides acting, his vocal dexterity was also a plus, infact he also produced soundtracks of movies.
Needless to say his sons Kunle, Aremu&Gabriel who are seasoned and award-winning thespians are still hoisting their father’s colourful flag. And there’s this touch of style and excellence in what they do.
3) Arthur Modupe Alade/ Dare Art Alade
I’m sorry I have no picture for Dare’s father but during his realm, he was versatile and talented; he could sing different parts of music, crack ribs and his Art Alade show was always a delight to watch. His son Dare got his talent from his father. The Project Fame West Africa finalist is one of the best R’n’b singers the country has ever produced.
4) Fela Anikulapo/Femi&Seun Anikulapo
Who doesn’t know Fela? The saxophone-wielding, musician and composer whose impact is still felt till date. Infact a considerable number of contemporary musicians draw so much inspiration from him.
But we take consolation in the fact that Femi and Seun, the most popular of his numerous sons have stepped into his shoes and continued where he stopped.
5) Jide Kosoko/Sola Kosoko-Abinna
Trained actor, Jide Kosoko who has been acting for over 15 years hasn’t in the least bit waned in influence. The 58 year-old theatre practitioner’s pretty daughter Sola Kosoko who got married few months ago is also a well-known face in the Nollywood industry.
6) Sunday Omobolanle (Aluwe)/ Olasunkanmi Omobolanle
Fondly called Pappy Luwe, when it comes to comic roles, Sunday Omobolanle isn’t a weakling. The Oyo-state indigene’s acting career spans decades.
His light-skinned son, Olasunkanmi who tied the knots last year has also been acting for the past 7 years and not doing bad for himself too.
7) Pete Edochie/ Yul Edochie
Heavily-bearded veteran, Pete Edochie has certainly paid his dues as long as Nollywood is concerned. Whether he is playing the role of a stern-faced man who would poison his sibling the nextminute over plots of land or a caring father (which is rare), the Igbo actor has been a blessing.
Unlike his father who fits into ‘wicked’ roles easily, handsome Yul maintains his cool, is soft-spoken and a gentle lover (in movies).
With this I draw the curtains..Till I come your way nextweek…Bye.Lol! (Don’t mind me)
