2014 WORLD CUP: FIFA DEMANDS BACK-UP LETTER FROM NFA FOR SUPPORTERS TO USE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

Football’s governing body, FIFA, has agreed to allow the Nigeria Football Supporters Club to bring in its musical instruments into the stadium in Brazil, provided there is a back-up letter from Nigeria Football Association (NFA).
Rafiu Oladipo, the President-General of the club, said at a news conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Saturday that the club had consequently forwarded a letter to NFA requesting for the letter.
Oladipo said that the letter must reach FIFA 24 hours ahead of the Nigeria/France second round match on Monday.
He added that the letter would also cover Nigeria for other matches in case the Super Eagles qualify for the quarter finals.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that FIFA said it had not officially denied the club the right of singing, drumming and trumpeting during Nigeria’s matches but that the club had never requested officially.
NAN reports that the club had been denied the use of musical instruments in various stadia where the Super Eagles played their Group F preliminary matches, a development the players disliked.
FIFA had insinuated that members of club were likely to use the musical instruments as weapons during Eagles matches.
During Nigeria’s first round matches in Curitiba, Cuiaba and Porto Alegrie, the supporters’ musical instruments were seized at stadium gates but released after each match.
Oladipo said that members of the club were never known for violence and pledged not to allow them use the instruments as weapons during Nigeria’s matches.
He expressed confidence that Super Eagles would defeat France in the next round as Nigeria had beaten France before.
He, however, continued to solicit the support of Nigerians at home for the team, saying it was their prayers that had helped the team progress in the competition. (NAN)

DENRELE TALKS MARRIAGE, DESCRIBES HIS KIND OF WOMAN

A lot of people would think the last person who would talk about marriage would be Denrele. But in this interview with Tribune, 31-year old Denrele admits family and friends have been asking him when he will settle down and Yes Denrele says he is willing to settle down. His only challenge is that he has not found the right woman. Interestingly, he described the kind of woman he wants; a woman always on heels and a woman people can not boss around especially her family. What he told Tribune.
Why haven’t you found the right person yet?I think when that time comes, I will marry. I have been into many relationships. I have dated girls who would want to do anything I tell them. I want a woman who can hold her own. I don’t want a woman who cannot make dialogue with me. I don’t want a woman who will want to change me because she should already know who Denrele is. I don’t want to hear, “my father said you cannot dress like that” I will be like, “Oya, come and carry your witch and go. And return me my bride price before you go”. I want a woman who is not pretentious, hypocritical or a fame seeker. I want someone who is original. I want somebody I can go to the salon together (with) to make our hair; who wouldn’t mind if people are talking. I love a woman that can wear heels. It may sound flimsy. I love girls on heels. This is why I have always had a thing for models. If my wife cannot wear heels...You wear heels yourself sometimes.Yes, I wear heels. There is something about heels that gives a woman extra elegance.Here you are talking about marriage, while people have described you as gay. What do you have to say?I’m aware of it. In fact, a lot of people have come with different terminologies for my sexual preference. They have labelled me homosexual, heterosexual. Some have said I am bi-sexual, asexual. I think I am a sexual outlaw; that is the best way to describe it. Am I gay? I am a sexual outlaw. Gbam!

TWITTER INTRODUCES RAMADAN 'HASHFLAGS'


Twitter has introduced a set of "hashflags" for users observing the month-long religious festival of Ramadan or celebrating Eid.
Anyone tweeting #Ramadan or #Eid, in Arabic or English, will see a crescent moon or Arabic calligraphy icon respectively, next to the hashtags.
State-specific flags currently appear on Twitter when people tweet the names of countries as a hashtag.
Twitter users can also use the social network to find out when they can break their fast each day.
From Friday, anyone can tweet Arabic news channel al Arabiya to find out what time iftar - the evening meal when Muslims break their fast at sunset - occurs at.
Users just need to tweet the hashtag #iftar along with their location to be provided with a time.
The system also works to find the time of imsak, which is the breakfast meal before the beginning of each day’s fast.
Twitter said: "This week, more than 1.5 billion Muslims around the world will observe the ninth month of the Islamic Calendar as Ramadan, the month of fasting.
"And they will also gather on Twitter to share their celebration. In fact, based on our research, people sent more than 74.2m tweets about Ramadan from around the world last year."

DON’T CALL ME ‘OMO BABA OLOWO’ AGAIN – DAVIDO WARNS


When he stormed the music scene few years ago, David Adeleke, better known as Davido prided himself as ‘Omo Baba Olowo’ which literally means ‘son of a rich man’ in Yoruba language. This appellation became what the son of a Nigerian billionaire businessman was known with and the talented young singer even went further to release an album with the name as the titled. 
About three years after his grand entry into the scene, Davido can confidently rely on his music to live large without any support from his rich dad. Apart from being a brand ambassador of a telecoms giant, MTN, which we learnt was worth millions of naira, Davido is one of the hottest artistes in Africa, who is believed to earn several millions from shows. 
However, the artiste might now be tired of people still linking his wealth to his father’s riches as he expressed his frustration over the issue. Speaking recently on a show, Davido said, ‘I find it annoying when people relate me with my father’s money. I can rely on my money and spend my money on anything I feel like acquiring. I have worked hard for myself and I am working for my kids to also be ‘Omo Baba Olowo’.’

#WORLDCUP: RONALDO’S GOAL NOT ENOUGH AS PORTUGAL CRASH OUT AFTER A 2-1 WIN OVER GHANA


Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal that sealed a 2-1 win over Ghana for Portugal was not enough for his country to progress to the round of 16 at the 2014 World Cup.
An own goal from John Boye and a strike from Ronaldo either side of Asamoah Gyan’s header secured the Portuguese three points, but an inferior goal difference compared to USA meant they finished third in Group G.
Ronaldo was Portugal’s main threat in the first half, hitting the bar with a swerving effort before forcing goalkeeper Fatawu Dauda into a fine save via a powerful header.
Portugal’s opener came through an own goal on 30 minutes when Miguel Veloso crossed from the left and John Boye slice the ball into his own net off the woodwork.
Ghana equalised in the 57th minute when Asamoah Gyan headed in from Kwadwo Asamoah’s brilliant cross that was executed with the outside of the defender’s left boot.
Gyan spurned a golden chance for Ghana just four minutes later, heading wide when unmarked, and he and his country were duly punished by Ronaldo, who fired in after Dauda poorly dealt with a looping ball.

LET BOKO HARAM DEFLOWER ME AND RELEASE CHIBOK GIRLS —ADOKIYE

Since pop singer and Imo State Peace Ambassador hit stardom, she has never ceased to be a surprise package. She astounded her fans recently when she confided in Showtime that she is a virgin. 
At 23, looking hot and rather willing with her liberated personality, her fans found it hard to believe, but Adokiye said it is true and that whoever wants her virginity should be prepared to buy her mother the private jet she long promised her.
But now it seems Adokiye is ready to give her coveted virginity for free, to members of the dreaded Boko Haram if they are ready to release the abducted Chibok girls in exchange.
“This is 11pm in the night and do you know what I am thinking about? Those little girls, where they are and what could be happening to them. It is just unfair. They are too young. I wish I could offer myself in exchange,” she told Showtime.
When she was reminded that the girls could be making out time as sex slaves, the singer/actress retorted: “They are between 12 and15 year old girls for Christ sake. I am older and more experienced. Even if 10 to 12 men have to take me every night, I don’t care. Just release these girls and let them go back to their parents.”

HOW I PREDICTED KEEFE’S DEATH — ARA

The Nigerian female talking drummer, Ara has many other gifts aside drumming with which she is known worldwide. But none of them includes the gift of clairvoyance or seeing into the future as the beautiful drummer revealed recently.
Ara, who is a friend to Late Kefee has disclosed on a Best of Nollywood’s chat forum that she had a dream concerning Kefee’s death and that she called the late singer to pray hard to avert it.
In her words: “I want to use this forum to appeal to my colleagues in the music industry. Less than two years ago, I had a dream about Keffee and immediately called her and narrated it to her, I also appealed to her not to make a joke of it….the rest is history.
Early this year, I had a dream and contacted Efe of NOW music as he’s the only one I could call and told him to please organise a forum for all musicians to assemble and pray against death amongst us (please confirm from Efe). It’s sad we had to lose my girlfriend, sister and colleague…so sad. When a revelation comes like that, it means there is a way out. Once again, we need to come together as a body under one roof to rebuke and pray about this revelation I had early this year. Yes, we all have different sources of prayer but this is a prayer we all must observe together. I beg you all. I didn’t want to speak out but I have no choice than to”.

Also, Emeka Ike, he’s a lovely man.”
This up and coming actress is currently fascinated with world cinema, and Nollywood is equally on her radar. With the anticipation of Hollywood Street brewing, and a role in Ozoka’s next movie, Biafran epic, A Forgotten Place, this actress and producer is surely set for the top.

'DISABLED' BRAZIL FANS MIRACULOUSLY JUMP OUT OF WHEELCHAIRS TO CELEBRATE GOALS

Probe: Police are probing this picture of a Brazil fan jumping out her wheelchair
They say miracles do happen... even in football.
Fans who appeared to jump out of their wheelchairs during a World Cup match are being investigated for ticket fraud.
FIFA released a batch of concession tickets specifically for disabled fans, pensioners, students and even the obese just before the tournament started.
But the scramble for tickets has led to many of these appearing on the black market.
There have been some strange sights in stadiums, including people who appear to be about 30 years old in seats for OAPs.
And in scenes reminiscent of Little Britain’s Andy and Lou, wheelchair users have been snapped jumping out of their seats during goals and at critical moments during the matches.
Ticket touts have been caught selling tickets meant for disabled people online through Facebook and at the grounds.
Touts make even more money on tickets for wheelchair users as one ticket in every two is free, for the wheelchair user to take a companion.
In Brazil, selling a ticket for more than face value is a crime which comes with up to four years in prison.
One Rio tout was caught selling two tickets for this week’s Spain v Chile match in the city for 1,200 Brazilian reals, or £350.
Some tickets for Brazil matches have been on sale for up to 3,800 BRL or £1,000.
Police are investigating 22 pictures on CCTV which show supposedly wheelchair-bound fans standing up at the 66,000-seater Sao Paulo Arena where England played last night.
Around 30 similar pictures have been taken by members of the public on their smart phones.
Police believe some fans who bought tickets on the black market may have tried to cover their tracks by using wheelchairs to enter the stadium, but some have a different theory.
“The World Cup is creating miracles,” joked Brazil supporter Andrea Dias.
