Nigeria league waits on N200m bail out

Doubts surround the March 9 start of the Nigeria league as it has yet to receive a 200 million Naira (about $1.3m) government bail out.

A top official told MTNFootball.com: “We are yet to receive the grant government promised us to get the league off the ground and as a result we may not start the league on the day advertised.”
The league needs cash to pay for referees’ indemnities and other logistical considerations.
Chariman of an interim committee to run the league, Nduka Irabor, announced earlier this month that they have been promised a grant by government to get the new season going as sponsorship wranglings have persisted despite assurances these have been resolved.

PHOTOS: Hollywood Actress Trips On Stage At The Oscars As She Was About To Claim Her Award

What happens when that beautiful/ voluminous dress lets you down right in the middle of one of your proudest moments?

That was 22 year old Jennifer Lawrence's experience at the Oscars when she tripped as she was about to claim her Oscar award.  She eventually dusted herself up, wore a smile on her face and picked up her award - as an actress that was the easy part, we are trying not to imagine the shame she felt.

Vicci & Immaculate Victoria are 1st evictees from Nigerian Idol Top12

Just a week after the unveiling of the Top 12 contestants in the on-going Etisalat sponsored music reality TV show, Nigerian Idol Season 3, Immaculate Victoria and Vicci have been evicted during the first Gala Stage Result Show, bringing the competition down to 10 contestants. 

Vicci, whose real name is Victor Chidiebere Ijomah, although sad said he is positive that he will ‘make it’ in the industry because according to him music has always been a part of his life. “All I just need is for someone to put me in the studio and I am so sure I will make it,” Vicci said.  But the case was not the same for Oreoluwa Liyele a.k.a Immaculate Victoria, the New Jersey University undergraduate who was too shocked to speak as tears ran freely down her cheeks.

Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha and Nwankwo Kanu made me choose Nigeria –Moses

Chelsea forward Victor Moses has revealed how former internationals Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha and Nwankwo Kanu talked him into choosing Nigeria over England, especially after he was overlooked by England coaches.

The former Crystal Palace sensation was named the Player of the Tournament at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa following his spectacular display as Nigeria won the African title for the third time.

Moses played for England from Under-16 to U-21 level and was tipped by former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan to be one of England ’s finest. But unfortunately, U-21 boss Stuart Pearce and former England manager Fabio Capello had little or no interest in Moses.

10 Lessons From Nigeria’s Victory At AFCON 2013 By Malcolm Fabiyi

The applause has died off. The 2013 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) Nigeria team have played themselves into the annals of history. However, there are timeless lessons to be gleaned from the performance and attitudes of the Super Eagles coach and players. Here are ten of the most pertinent lessons.

1.    Stand your ground. When Keshi submitted his list of players, he was roundly lampooned for the list of players he came up with. The big name, perennial stalwarts were absent. Six of the players he selected played in the lackluster local league.  Keshi and his team were written off even before the games began. It is easier to swim in the direction in which a stream flows – but sometimes, true progress can only come by taking a stand that goes against the common grain. Stand your ground, when you believe your reasoning is sound, and your cause is right.

Manchester United Have Been Lucky – Mancini

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini believes Manchester United have been lucky in opening their substantial lead at the top of the Premier League.

Reigning champions City host Chelsea on Sunday, looking to trim United’s significant advantage which was stretched to 15 points on Saturday when they triumphed 2-0 at QPR.

Mancini’s men face a huge task if they are to peg back their city rivals but the manager insists United have had the rub of the green on their way to the top." Until now, United have been really lucky with everything,” he said.

Why Late Justus Esiri Never Used Stage Name

The late Nollywood icon, Justus Esiri might have lived by the axiom that a good name is better than silver and gold.

A performer will often take a stage name because his/her real name is considered unattractive, dull, unintentionally amusing or difficult to pronounce or spell, or because it has been used by another notable individual or because it projects an undesired image. Sometimes a performer adopts a name that is unusual or outlandish to attract attention.

Warri Wolves and Enugu Rangers In Serious Battle over the ownership of Sunday Mba.

Following his impressive display at the recently concluded 2013 African Cup of Nations, AFCON, two Nigerian clubs Warri Wolves and Enugu Rangers are in battle over the ownership of Sunday Mba.

While Mba played for the Super Eagles at the 2013 AFCON in South Africa, the midfielder was referred to as a Warri Wolves player by the commentators and other media personalities profiling the player. But after the AFCON victory and a performance that could earn him a club abroad, Rangers have declared that Sunday Mba is their bonafide player contrary to the claims by Warri Wolves, where he last played.

10 things we loved about Darey’s ‘Love Like a Movie’ (aside Kim Kardashian)

Honestly we loved every single second of Darey Art Alade’s ‘Love Like a Movie’ concert so much that picking out some of the moments that stood out is one of the hardest things we have ever had to do. Still we’ll try, just so you wont have to. 

1)The red carpet kicked off right on time at about 5pm when celebrities began to trickle in. A sharp contrast from the regular event scene where endless delays and blatant tardiness have been accepted as the norm rather than the exception. 

2) Darey’s stunning entrance from a set prop that just popped open to let him out has set the standard for superstar entrances. Good luck to anyone trying to top that.

Cup win’ll motivate Eagles to do more – Ugbade

China ‘85 FIFA U-17 World Cup winner Nduka  Ugbade has tipped the Super Eagles to book their ticket to the Brazil 2014 World Cup finals with no  Nigerian ‘hospitalised’ for high blood pressure like in the past, saying the Africa Cup of Nations triumph  will motivate the team.

Nigeria  on February 10 beat the Stallions of Burkina Faso 1-0 in the final of the South Africa 2013 to win the trophy for the third time, after  they were champions on home soil in 1980 and at the Tunisia ’94 finals.

Speaking to our correspondent on the telephone during the week, Ugbade, a member of the Tunisia ’94 winning squad, said the  players would be fired up for the  World Cup qualifiers  by the South Africa 2013 success.

Emenike as future Yekini

Players with a nose for putting the ball in the back of the net are hot commodities anywhere in the world of football and Nigeria’s Emmanuel Emenike is one example of such players.

Many Nigerians should be glad that the quick, strong and clinical finisher did not yield to pressures from Turkey to play for the Crescent Stars.

Just one major outing for his country, the 25-year-old has been turning heads and hogging headlines in the media, where he has been compared to the legendary Rashidi Yekini.

Keshi told us to prove him right – Mba

Warri Wolves striker Sunday Mba says the Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi’s pep  talk with the players before the kick-off the South Africa 2013 Africa Cup of Nations  motivated  the team  to go the extra mile for the trophy.

Many dismissed the Eagles as no-hopers after Keshi named a 23-man squad largely made up of  domestic league and semi-professional players    for the championship.

And Keshi admitted that he had taken a big risk with his decision to exclude the likes of West Brom’s Osaze Odemwingie, on-loan Dynamo Kyiv’s Taye Taiwo,  Levante’s Obafemi Martins and Turkey-based Yussuf Ayila from the squad.

After Everything Balotelli tells Manchester City: Don’t sack Mancini

The former Etihad striker said of his fellow Italian: “There is nobody better for City. Most importantly, the players like him.”

The heat is on boss Mancini after City’s woeful Champions League KO and the crumbling defence of their Premier League title.  Yet Balotelli added: “If you asked who they want next season, every single player would say Roberto. He’s not just their coach but also their friend.”

Barcelona Blames Loss To AC Milan On San Siro Pitch

Barcelona assistant coach Jordi Roura hit out at the state of the pitch at the San Siro after his side were left staring at an early Champions League exit following a shock 2-0 loss to AC Milan on Wednesday.

It was an African show as Ghanaians Kevin-Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari who were not part of their nation’s team at the recently concluded African Cup of Nations, AFCON, scored one apiece in a lively second half as the hosts’ impressive defence throughout the match stunned the Catalans.

Roura, standing in for Tito Vilanova while the coach undergoes cancer treatment in New York, admitted the Blaugrana had simply not done enough.

When Kim Kardashian Came to Lagos and Scam Nigerians

Eko Hotel, Victoria Island: the scene of so many expensive misdemeanours in the past, did its best not to disappoint. Kim Kardashian (pictured sailing into the salubrious Murtala Muhammed International Airport) was billed to “co-host” an event with R’n'B crooner Darey Art-Alade in honour of “Love..Like a Movie”. In other words, it was a “Vals” thing. Lagos being familiar to the metallurgy of snobbery, this involved platinum ticket holders being invited to an exclusive pre-dinner event with her K-ness. Pseudo-ogas lower down the corporate food chain only got to see the show.

I was just over a thousand miles away from the action in Freetown, watching my Twitter timeline cascade with commentary as the evening unfolded. Tweets purred with pleasure at the acrobatics segment, and at the godly qualities of Waje’s voice. There was a sense that in production values and packaging, Lagos had outblinged itself.

Lil Wayne Claims NBA Banned Him

Lil Wayne is not a fan of the Miami Heat.

In video obtained by TON, the rapper is seen at his Houston concert Sunday night saying the NBA banned him from all events because the Miami Heat asked them too.

"When I say f-k, you say NBA.. When I say f-k, you say the Miami Heat," he said. He also claimed he slept with Miami Heat's Chris Bosh's wife.

A representative of the NBA denied Lil Wayne has been banned.

Neither Bosh nor his wife Adrienne Bosh have publicly commented on the rapper's accusation. Adrienne has retweeted several positive comments from friends and followers on Twitter including Gabrielle Union, wife of fellow Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade.

Government’s Reward For Super Eagles

The mind-boggling cash gifts splashed out on the national football team players and officials that won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa early in February by the Federal Government is a wrong way of incentivising those who have done the nation proud.

It is excessive and perverted as there are standards of rewards for successful athletes in more sober climes where public funds are handled with the utmost sense of responsibility and accountability.

REVEALED: Why Wizkid Left EME To Float StarBoy Records

Facts have begun to emerge regarding the real story behind Wizkid and Banky's fallout. The reason is not unconnected with the rising sensational singer being made a cash cow for the EME label.

An Insider opened up that Wizzy (his nickname) is at war with Banky W and EME because he wants a contract review which Banky W has refused to grant him.

The source pointed out that since Ayodeji Balogun known as Wizkid signed with EME, he has been getting just 25% from whatever he gets paid to perform at an event with Banky W's Empire Mate Entertainment.

 EME is owned by Banky W and Segun Demuren who get 50%; and Osagie, Wizzy's ex-manager who introduced him to Banky after big record labels like Mo-Hits and Storm records rejected him, also got 25%  from his hard earned money.

“There Was No Need For Kim Kardashian At Darey’s Concert! None Whatsoever” – Charles Novia

I first met Darey in 1999 at Jazzville, a unique and bohemian music club of sorts which was the core pulse of the Lagos weekend social scene for many years up till 2001 when it was officially closed. Darey was a quiet young man then who would perform a few songs and play excellent notes on the keyboard. Then, I was somewhat of a total artiste moonlighting with stand-up comedy every friday night there as the in-house emcee who took over from the late Mohammed Danjuma of blessed memory.

 For over a year, every Friday night I would guide the good-natured revellers through the program for the long night, with occassional singing with the band on my part. Within that period, I met Darey who actually was honing his skills through the Jazzville experience with the help of Muyiwa Majekudunmi, the founder of Jazzville.

Messi Scores His 300th Barcelona Goal

Lionel Messi scored his 300th Barcelona goal during his side’s clash with Granada on Saturday, his 365th appearance for the Blaugrana.

The Argentine forward reached the milestone with a tap-in after Cesc Fabregas’ 50th-minute shot had been parried into his path, and it also meant that he had scored in 14 successive Liga matches.

Messi made his debut for Barca in 2004-05, and grabbed his first goal for the Catalans’ first team against Albacete in May 2005.

Super Eagles Rejected Our S(e)x Offer – Association Of Nigerian Prostitutes

It was reported few weeks ago that the Association of Nigerian Prostitutes (ANP), the umbrella body of commercial s*x workers in the country vowed to declare one week free s*x should the Super Eagles of Nigeria  return home with the African Cup of Nations trophy.

We also exclusively reported that the association sent over 113 members to South Africa  to cheer the Eagles to victory in the final cracker against the Stallions of Burkina Faso, which Nigeria won by a lone goal.

It was gathered that shortly after the victory last Sunday, one of the ringleaders approached a top member of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) who was in South Africa to watch the match about their promise.

Trouble over Nollywood at 20

Nollywood at 20 is supposed to be a moment of retrospection, celebration, and a showcase of achievements of the Nigerian motion picture industry in the last two decades. But with the development of things, the two-decade milestones might turn into legal combat and mudslinging, as the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) and Peace Ayam Osigwe set to hold two different events amidst exchange of vile correspondences.

Peace Ayam Osigwe had conceived an idea to celebrate Nollywood at 20 with a dinner, coffee table, symposium and the likes, long before Ibinabo Fiberesima emerged as the president of AGN. Peace, we learnt drafted Ibinabo into the planning committee so as to carry the AGN along. She had commissioned people to write the coffee book, conducted interviews and gotten the support of the Federal Government, and was in talks with several corporate organizations.

‘Super-Chicken’ Insult Won Us The AFCON Trophy – Keshi

If there’s any group of people a lot Nigerians envy now, it’s the Super Eagles. They’ve been rewarded handsomely for their impressive feat at the 2013 African Cup of Nations, AFCON, and bringing home the trophy. The Super Eagles has however revealed that the team thrived on criticisms and the criticisms motivated them to success.

The Super Eagles were unimpressive in their first two games and were ridiculed by many referring to them as “Super Chicken” while tweets from an account believed to belong to Ivorian defender, Emmanuel Eboue referred to them as “Super Fried Chicken”.

Guinness Gets 40,000 Nigerian Signatures On Super Eagles` Jersey

About 40,000 Nigerians have appended their signatures on a larger-than-life Super Eagles Jersey taken round country by Guinness Nigeria PLC.

The Managing Director of the company, Mr Seeni Adeetu, disclosed this on Friday in an interview in Ikeja, Lagos.  Adeetu, who was also at the reception held for the Super Eagles by Gov. Babatunde Fashola in Ikeja, said most of the signatures were signed before team’s African Cup of Nations (AFCON) victory in South Africa.  Adeetu explained that the company expected more signatures with the team`s triumph.
