Emmanuel Emenike: I’m just lucky!

Emmanuel Emenike was on cloud nine after he helped Nigeria to send hot favourite, Cote d’Ivoire, out of the ongoing Nations Cup in South Africa with a declaration that seems to assure Nigerians of more to come from him. And of course, he did it again in the semi-final match against Mali when he scored the third goal of the match with his bullet shot from a free-kick that found the back of the net after a deflection by a Malian player.

“Ronaldo Unlucky To Be Born In The Same Era With Messi” – Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has suggested Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi is ‘from a different planet’ as he assesses his sublime talents, but does not believe he was a worthy winner of the 2012 FIFA World Player of the Year prize.

Wenger felt the full force of Messi’s genius when the Barcelona maestro blasted four goals past Arsenal in a Champions League quarter-final back in 2010, but he is convinced there were more worthy winners of the prize in a year when Barcelona failed to live up to their own extraordinary standards.

Win Nations Cup for us, Drogba begs Eagles

By Tony Ubani
Even in defeat, Didier Tebily Yves Drogba was graceful. Despite swallowing the bitter pill of defeat that has dented his beautiful career – without a Nations Cup trophy, the Ivorian has sent a passionate plea to the Super Eagles

“Please, win the Nations Cup for us”, he pleaded as he hugged Stephen Keshi and his former teammate Mikel Obi after the 2-1 defeat in the quarter final match at Rustenberg.

Drogba’s army of super stars were tipped by all and sundry to win the match against a relatively young and inexperienced Super Eagles. The Eagles stepped up their game and were immaculate in their form, attack, defence and discipline. They stung Cote d’Ivoire and have made their critics to swallow their words.

‘Ifreke Inyang – 'Nigeria can win the AFCON' – 6 things we learnt from today’s victory over Cote d’I

Nigeria can win the AFCON

Let me catch my breath. Was that the Super Eagles of Nigeria against the Elephants? Did we utterly dominate the quarter-final clash or what? Every single player was up for the game. Less fancied names like Onazi Ogenyi, Sunday Mba, etc stood up tall and strong against true football superstars like Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba. Save for that little blip defensively, that led to Tiote levelling scores, the Eagles were almost perfect. Long may it continue. And who knows? With this kind of form, we fear no foe!

Genevieve dropped from Chimamanda Adichie's Half of a Yellow Sun

Genevieve Nnaji's small part in the big screen adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel “Half of a Yellow Sun” has been cut out from the finished film. It wasn't just Genevieve's scenes that were cut from the movie, a few other characters from the book didn't appear in the movie. Sources in the know say the producers may have cut Genevieve from the movie because her character wasn't important to the story and was dragging the storyline unnecessarily. Other characters didn't appear because there was not much time to tell everyone's story. Genny may appear in a scene or two but it will be very insignificant. Genevieve played the role of Ms Adebayo, a professor who develops a flirtatious relationship with her colleague Mr Odenigbo, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Half of a Yellow Sun features Chiwetel Ejiofor, Dominic Cooper, Anika Noni Rose and Thandie Newton. Produced by Andrea Calderwood and directed by Biyi Bandele. The book centers on the Nigerian civil war and was published in 2006.

Osaze Odemwingie was sent home from training this morning, after yesterday’s dramatic turn of events, when he appeared to try and force a move to Queens Park Rangers.

“I had a long chat with Dan and I have been given a few days off. I will be back for training next week,” Odemwingie said.

The Nigerian striker also went ahead to blame West Brom for the failed transfer, claiming that it was all agreed but the Baggies could not get in a replacement for him.

“It takes more than two or three people to create something extraordinary,” Odemwingie told Sky Sports News. “Clearly, there were no children involved and somewhere there was a big misunderstanding.
