Davido Would Be Ideal For Me - Cynthia Morgan

Dancehall Queen Cynthia Morgan recently gave a full candid interview to Vanguard, and revealed that Davido is her number one crush.
Cynthia who is signed to Jude Okoye’s North Side Entertainment believes if Omo Baba Olowo himself tries her out, they could work something out.
She also addressed the rumours that she is using Dencia’s whitenicious products, saying she has never tried to use such products.
When asked about her reported use of Dencia’s whitenicious products she said: It’s not true .It’s one of the craziest things I have heard about myself. No, I am not using Whitenicious. A picture surfaced online where your pictures were blended together.
On the contrast of her skin
What I will love to say about that is that in life people grow and change with time .For example, I was born with a talent and over the years, I improved on the talent. For me, I grew up, then I was very young and I was even a tomboy and don’t even think I used cream . I grew up and I am lighter .People don’t look the way they looked five-six years ago. If you still look like that, then you have a problem and that could mean you are not growing. It’s either you are fatter, slimmer , lighter or darker or have a pot belly. People grow.
Davido
That will be Davido, because for me he is hardworking. Over the years he has been able to prove himself that he is talented and not all about being just a rich kid and I think he is cute too.
But because I have a crush on him doesn’t mean I want to have a relationship with him .But if he says :’Oh my God! I love you.’ We can work something out.

Nigeria’s Best XI in UEFA Champions League history

As this season’s UEFA Champions League nears its climax, Goal examines Nigeria’s Best 11 to have participated in Europe’s top club competition

SPECIAL
By Shina Oludare

Since the inception of the Uefa Champions League, a large number of Nigerian players have featured in the glamorous competition, considered as one of the biggest football tournaments in the world. As this season’s tournament draws to a close, this feature presents Nigeria’s all-time Best XI to have participated in the prestigious competition.

GOALKEEPER

VINCENT ENYEAMA

Without any speck of argument, Enyeama is the best Nigerian goalkeeper to have played in the Uefa Champions League. In the 2010-11 season, he wrote his name in the legend of the competition as one of the goalscoring custodians when he converted a penalty for Hapoel Tel Aviv in their 3-2 away victory against Red Bull Salzburg. In the group stages against Lyon, he re-enacted his goalscoring feat by converting a 79th minute penalty to equalise for his Israeli outfit at the Bloomfield Stadium before Miralem Pjanic snatched the winner for the French team with the last kick of the game on September 29, 2010.

No of starts: 7
Minutes played: 630

REVEALED: Five People Who Caused Manchester United's Failure This Season

Barely hours after David Moyes’ tenure at Manchester United came to an end, analysts are already pointing fingers at those that caused his crisis at Old Trafford.
Below is the list of the culprits:
5. Sir Alex Ferguson
The greatest manager British football’s ever seen called time on his 26-year reign in the perfect way on the pitch, wrestling the Premier League title back from noisy neighbours Manchester City.

* Coach David Moyes sacked by Man United for poor performance
Off the pitch, it was a different story. In choosing Moyes as his replacement, he could have put the house he built back years. United could have gone hell for leather for Jose Mourinho, but Ferguson’s vision took priority.
Instead of taking a real step back, Ferguson’s misguided faith in his protege has put a small dent in his gleaming legacy.
Ferguson will always be held in peerless esteem at United, but he should be well away from the next managerial appointment.
4. Marouane Fellaini

* United's defender, Ferdinand is one of the club's old guards that have been found wanting this season
Moyes’ sole summer signing has been an unmitigated disaster.
The Belgian lacks every hallmark of a true United midfielder, and has caused more problems with his disciplinary record - see the disgraceful elbow on Pablo Zabaleta - than he’s solved with his on-field contribution.
His signing was an early indicator of a manager with a lack of ideas, who touted the club around half of Europe’s playmakers before overspending on his own player whose quality he’d supposedly taken a step up from.

EVIDENCE! Sinzu’s And Godwon Both Thiefs In America

Recently Rapper Godwon revealed evidence pictures of Sinzu formerly known as Sauce Kid robbing an elderly woman who forgot her card in the atm.
But many doubted the story and said the pictures might have been tampered with, but now we have the police report and also amazingly Godwon's own police report after he was caught also stealing.
Maybe Nigerian rap money is not all that as Sinzu's report shows he was arrested for the offence about four months.
Sinzu has however denied the reports even though his full name and arrest picture is available.

Tonto Dikeh, DJ Jimmy Jatt, Others Beg P-Square Not To Break Up

Stars of Nigerian entertainment industry and fans of singing brothers of P-Square, Paul and Peter, urged both of them to reconcile, forget about their planned break-up and accept the differences which they might have.

“It is normal for siblings to have issues, but please do not let it tear you apart. I believe in you, I have great faith you will remain together.”

Nollywood diva, Tonto Dikeh, warned about the negative consequences of the break-up, stated that wives must play an important role for resolving the situation:

I'm African And I Deserve More Respect

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure insists he doesn’t get enough respect from the rest of the football world because he is African.

Ivory Coast international Toure has won league titles in England and Spain and is on the six-man shortlist for the Professional Footballers’ Association’s player of the season award.
But the 30-year-old former Barcelona star echoed City team-mate Samir Nasri’s claim that only his birthplace has blocked him from being hailed as one of the best midfielders in the world.
“I think what Samir was saying was definitely true,” Toure said.
“To be honest, proper recognition has only come from the fans. I don’t want to be hard and I don’t want to be negative, but I want to be honest.”
Toure’s fellow Ivory Coast star Didier Drogba and Cameroon striker Samuel Eto’o have also reached the top level of European football and Toure has taken inspiration from the way they have risen to the top despite humble beginnings.
“Those players are more than legends for me and Africa,” he said.
“I am very proud to be African, I want to defend African people and I want to show to the world that African players can be as good as the Europeans and South Americans.”
Luis Suarez is a widespread odds-on favourite for the PFA award, with Liverpool team-mate Steven Gerrard and Chelsea’s Eden Hazard also ahead of Toure in the betting.
But the City star said he would “definitely” be unhappy to miss out, adding: “As a champion, as a winner, I always want to win.”

Easter message from Mr President..

Dear Compatriots,
I greet you all, especially our Christian brothers and sisters who are celebrating Easter and commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ today. 

As we join Christians in other countries of the world in celebrating Easter this year, I urge all Nigerians to reflect on the significance of its lessons of piety, obedience to higher authorities, self sacrifice for the good of others, redemption, salvation, deliverance, renewal and the ultimate triumph of good over evil.

These lessons of Easter and other injunctions on brotherly love, peaceful co-existence, tolerance, honesty, humility, justice, equity and fairness to all without discrimination contained in the Gospels are of particular importance to us as a nation as we continue to contend with the challenges of nation-building and development.

Is it over with P-Square?

I've been hearing a few stories about Peter and Paul Okoye of P-Square having issues for a while now. I hear they disagree on everything now...songs, videos, ideas etc...but because they are twin brothers, I figured well, they will sort things out...so I didn't write.

On Wednesday April 16th, I gathered exclusively from industry sources that the brothers fought each other physically during rehearsals. They had to be separated by their dancers. This is fact! But I decided to leave the story alone because which sibling doesn't disagree sometimes, right? But now their older brother, Jude Okoye, who is also their manager, just tweeted that after ten years he's done.

I hear one of the wives is causing some of the problems between the brothers. *sigh* Dear P-Square, don't even think of breaking up. You will break the hearts of millions of people...including myself. Please stay together

I'm Only Taking A Break From Acting For Politics – Nollywood Actor Jibola Dabo

The latest actor to have been bitten by the bug of politics is veteran actor, Jibola Dabor, who is currently strategising on how to clinch the ticket to represent his people of Owo Federal Constituency, Ondo State, at the House of Representatives.
According to the veteran actor, it was never his call or decision but the call of his people who clamour for him to represent them. But does that mean Mr. Jibola Dabor would be quitting making movies?
"I can still do one or two movies, because nothing in the constitution says I can’t do movies, but I know there won’t be time to do much movies. I’m not quitting, I’m just taking a break to give back to the people, because I’ve realized that the industry has taken me to a particular peak. Giving back is not going to be easy from that industry, but if I’m part of a voice, I can better develop the industry and give back to the community.
"So, I’m not really quitting, I’m only taking a break," he confided.
He also said that he doesn’t have to be a career politician to know what his people need. His focus, if elected, “Would be rural development. I’m quite experienced in the cultural activities in my constituency and I know how we can use the basic things we have in the land to enrich the youths in particular.
"I’m going to concentrate on putting my constituency in the international brochure on tourism because we are very rich culturally and also use arts and crafts to create jobs for the youths which is part of the youth empowerment project I have been talking about with the current government. These are self created wealth that can happen from the land, because most of these youths have left the land seeking greener pastures where there are none. I believe that I can help redirect heir attention to the land." he said.

On being in love

On being her fault that she was jilted thrice
I don’t think it was my fault. It was the guys. That’s why some girls choose to be lesbians.
On ever considering being a lesbian after several heart breaks

EPL Table Update: Liverpool leads by 2 points after 33 games

 
The showdown of 2013/14 English Premier League is getting closer. TOP-3 teams are separated by 4 points only, so, the battle for the title will be tough, however, without Arsenal.
Gunners’ manager, Arsene Wenger, has admitted that it will be difficult for his side to finish in the top four after a 3-0 defeat to Everton. What a turn of events! Two months ago Jose Moruinho said that Arsenal were the favourites to win EPL title, but now they hope for finishing fourth only.
Liverpool secured a ninth straight win in the Premier League. They are currently on top of the EPL table with five games remaining.
Manchester United showed great performance in a match against Newcastle United. This would definitely boost their morale ahead of Wednesday’s clash with Bayern Munich which suffered first Bundesliga defeat since October 2012.
