AFCON fallout: Chelsea drop Moses

English club Chelsea have dropped their Nigeria international Victor Moses from the squad to face Sparta Prague in their Europa League tie on Thursday. The Nigeria international had been quickly recalled for the trip to the Czech Republic which forced him to travel back to England from South Africa instead of heading to Abuja with his teammates.

But Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez has carefully avoided making the same mistake as Celtic manager, Neil Lennon, who played Efe Ambrose against Juventus two days after the Africa Cup of Nations final match against Burkina Faso in South Africa. Ambrose, who only arrived in Glasgow on match day, turned out a huge deficit to Celtic despite his sterling performance for Nigeria in South Africa. Lennon would admit on Wednesday that he took “a gamble” by fielding Ambrose.

Video: 'The Four Boys' – A Nollywood Movie Inspired By The Aluu4 Tragedy

Watching the official trailer of the movie ‘The Four Boys’ – a flick that is based on the true life story of four UNIPORT undergrad students who were killed by a mob in Aluu community, just sends cold chills down the spine.  The trailer which is about 1 minute 28 sec., will surely reawaken sad and bitter memories of October 5 2012 when Lloyd Michael (Big L), Tekena Elkanah, Ugonna Ibuzor and Chidiaka Biringa were falsely accused of stealing laptops and mobile phones and subsequently given the jungle treatment.

The Four Boys’, a home video from the stables of Simony Productions which premieres on goldenicons.com, was produced by Sylvester Obadigie with Morgan Ukaegbu as director. The movie stars Chiwetalu Agu, Zubby Michael, Paul Sambo, Johnpaul Nwadike, Junior Omoigbaele, Angela Okorie, Ruth Kadiri, & Onyi Alex.

Another Nollywood Pórn Movie Or What??

This is the cover design of Halima Abubakar's new movie titled, MISTRESSES. When I first saw this I asked my myself, 'what is this one again'? Another séxual éscapade movie without moral lessons? But Halima has something different to say about her movie.  Below is what she said about her high-budget movie, Mistresses:

"'It took me a long time to finish the movie because I was set to achieve success. Apart from the millions of naira I spent on the production, the cast and crew, I travelled to different parts of the world to ensure that the movie is one to beat and copy in the movie industry today."

PHOTOS: Pictures Of Half Nakéd Girls In Terry G's Video

The sneak preview of photos from Terry G’s video shoot of ‘Pull Of’ suggests that some Nigerian artistes have little or no concern for their audience or the message they pass across by their actions or otherwise.

Despite the Nigerian Broad coasting Commission’s ban of some music videos for supposedly displaying unclad scenes, erotic/suggestive dance moves and containing lewd lyrics, some Nigerian artistes are still hell-bent on courting controversy by shooting videos that will most likely end up falling under the ban list which begs the question: are the artistes shooting such videos deliberately seeking attention or is it now the norm to display almost unclad ladies in music videos?

PHOTOS: Shocked Gamekeeper Runs for his Life from 3 Ton Hippo

If there's one thing a hippo doesn't like it's being interrupted while having lunch. This gamekeeper in Uganda runs for his life after disturbing a hungry beast having its favourite meal of grass. He fled as the angry three-ton beast - which can outrun a man - charged at him.

The keeper, armed only with a walkie-talkie at the Murchison Falls National Park, somehow managed to escape on this occasion. The hippopotamus is one of the most aggressive creatures in the world and is often regarded as the most ferocious animal in Africa. Hippo jaws are capable of biting a 10-foot crocodile in two.

I Can’t Coach Nigeria Now — Oliseh

Former Super Eagles captain, Sunday Oliseh has distanced himself from any coaching job in Nigeria for now.

He said the system and authorities make it difficult for a serious coach to succeed. Oliseh, who was a guest and a panelist at the Supersport analysis programme said many Nigerians have asked him to consider a coaching job in the country which he turned down.

“People have asked me why don’t you take a coaching job in Nigeria and I said I don’t think I would want to do that because I know my country more than you guys and have served it for eleven years winning everything with it. But now we are seeing changes. We have a government and minister that seem to be appreciating what we are doing.”

He said what they have going are the people who love them with a passion.

Nigerians to Eagles: Give us this day

After 19 years of waiting for another continental title and thirteen years since appearing in the final, the Super Eagles of Nigeria are on the threshold of history as they face the Stallions of Burkina Faso in the final of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in Johannesburg  today. And Nigerians are highly expectant.

For Coach Stephen Keshi, the day represents a turning point in his romance with the round leather game. In 1994, he won the trophy as captain of the Nigerian team, the last time Nigeria lifted the cup. If he leads the Super Eagles to win the trophy today, he then becomes only the second man to have won the tournament as player and coach after Egyptian legend, late Mahmoud El Gohary.

Today: Mali vs Ghana

Ghana and Mali meet for the fourth time in the last two Africa Cup of Nations - having being drawn in the same group and ending up in the third place play-off at both tournaments.

The Black Stars won this year's Group B meeting, as they did in last year's finals, but Mali prevailed to finish third in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Both have a player suspended - Ghana's Mohamed Rabiu and Mali's Samba Sow. The two sides are also likely to give several of their fringe players a game.

Mikel ‘ll win golden ball – Orji Uzo Kalu

Creative midfield maestro, John Mikel Obi, yesterday earned five stars as the Abia State former governor Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, tipped him for the Golden Ball trophy, with the sobriquet ‘Field Marshall’ of the ongoing Nations Cup. Kalu said: “Mikel Obi is a silent killer, in the field he puts on no airs, his touches are pinpoint, the young man is the hub of the Eagles.

Yet, he carries everybody along. If the Nations Cup were another World War I would call him Field Marshall Montgomery. I see a crown on his head as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of this tournament.” The ex-governor praised the Ivorian Elephants for giving honour to Mikel in particular, and the Nigerian team in general, despite their quarter-finals elimination by the Eagles. “Kudos to Cheik Tiote, Didier Drogba and Lassina Traore.They admitted Nigeria’s superiority in the game.Tiote singled out Mikel for cutting off balls to Drogba and Yaya Toure.
