Luis Suarez Finally Speaks On Biting Giorgio Chiellini

Uruguay’s top striker, Luis Suarez has finally spoken on his alleged biting of Giorgio Chiellini in the match between Italy and Uruguay at the ongoing 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

The Liverpool striker was caught on camera biting the Italy defender during the match the South Americans won 1-0 courtesy of a solitary goal scored by Diego Godin.

While commenting on the incident in an interview conducted by local reporters after his country’s win which took them through to the knockout rounds, Suares played down the latest incident as ‘just something that happens on the pitch’.

The player who plays in the English Premier League, and who has twice been banned for biting an opponent, said: “These situations arise on the pitch, I’ve collided with his shoulder. It drove me a little crazy too, but these things happen on the pitch. There’s no need to make a story out of it.”

Football governing body, FIFA has confirmed disciplinary proceedings have been opened against the Uruguayan forward, who could be banned for up to two year over the incident.

Meanwhile, many football fans and pundits are united in their view Suarez should receive a lengthy ban for yet another apparent biting offence.

Former England defender Danny Mills has gone a step further – insisting the Uruguayan should be ‘thrown in jail and locked up forever’.

He said: “It has to be the longest ban in football ever. A worldwide ban, not just an international ban,’ he said.

‘It is the third time it has happened and it is a clear bite this time, in a tournament of this magnitude, the most watched tournament in the world. They have got to throw him in jail and lock him up forever.”

My Female Boss Is Touching Me In Inappropriate Ways, What Should I Do?

Please my female boss in the office is trying all her best to seduce me and sleep with me. I have told her that I’m not into women but she has bluntly refused to listen and still makes passes at me and touches me at inappropriate places. I really don’t know what to do as I don’t want to have issues with her, because she’s really been nice to me. I’m seriously thinking of quitting my job. That’s all I can think of for now. Please advice a sister, what do I do?

Newspaper Editor Killed In Abuja Mall Bomb Blast (PHOTOS OF SCENE)

Yesterday’s shopping mall blast took the life of New Telegraph’s managing editor, Suleiman Bisala and 20 other people.

Bisala recently joined New Telegraph as managing editor (North) from Daily Trust Newspaper.

According to The Cable, he had gone to Emab Plaza to repair a faulty mobile phone when he was caught in the blast. His passing has been confirmed with deep sadness by a senior member of staff of New Telegraph which is owned by former Abia Governor Orji Uzor Kalu.

The Coordinator, National Information Centre, Mr Mike Omeri, said on Wednesday, June 25, 2014 that soldiers killed one of the suspected bombers of EMAB Plaza in Abuja and arrested another, News Agency of Nigeria reports.

Omeri told newsmen in Abuja that the attackers came on a power bike and planted an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) by the entrance of the shopping mall.

He also confirmed the death of 21 persons and 17 others injured in the blast which also damaged several vehicles.

2 MONTHS GONE: Chibok – Is Nigeria still serious?

Two months after the Chibok abduction saga started, the fact-finding committee on the missing schoolgirls submitted its report. The committee confirmed that, indeed, the schoolgirls were missing and for the first time, gave the world an exact figure – 219 and also, pictures of the victims.

The committee chairman, Brig-Gen Ibrahim Sabo (retd.) expressed some optimism that those who had hitherto alleged that the abduction was a scam would now, at least, have a rethink based on the credibility of their report. Sabo’s optimism is understandable but he should know that the denials that had accompanied the Chibok abduction run deeper than just believability. It is principally about politics and power; an expression of fear their underbelly would be upturned.

I must also say – without a deliberate attempt to rubbish the effort of the committee – that the whole exercise was perhaps an attempt by the government to just buy time. There is little the committee has done that could not have been done by the Nigerian Police and within a few days of the abduction too with – give or take – additional help by other security agencies. Now that there are reports of another mass abduction in Borno State, what does Nigeria do? Set up another committee to report in two months’ time whether it is true or false?

So, what now when the committee has told us what we already knew about the Chibok abductions? Are investigations going to begin afresh or are ongoing efforts to be infused with urgency? Or, will it end up as just one of the many reports submitted by the many committees President Goodluck Jonathan is fond of inaugurating at the drop of his hat?

The President’s response to the committee’s findings was rather careful and non-committal. He said the report would not be ignored and then went on to lament how the lack of security personnel in the school resulted in the abduction. He made other promises: floating a support fund for the victims, rebuilding the razed school buildings with army engineers after the girls are found, and improving public welfare. He even charged boarding school proprietors in the north-eastern states with the task of providing security for students if they want to keep them in the boarding house.

Instructively, two cardinals were missing from the President’s response to his fact-finding committee: A sense of urgency about rescuing the abducted girls and, that of culpable responsibility. The committee, too, was careful not to designate faults but insisted on focusing attention on bringing the girls back home.

The question is, how far will rescue efforts go when nobody is agitated enough about how they failed to protect the girls? If nobody is to blame because everybody is to blame -one way or the other – how do you compel the drive, urgency, and necessary resolve to carry out rescue operations? Could this lack of urgency be why there have been many sideshows introduced into the soap opera? From the Nigerian Army trying to shore up its credibility by announcing it has located the girls to a misguided police officer banning protesters to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo turning himself into the patron saint of #BringBackOurGirls, there have been so many diversions that detract from the seriousness of the abduction.

A day after the report was received by a beaming President, Aso Rock, characteristically, shed its semblance of soberness and was joyfully showing off celebrations of victory. First, his aides tweeted pictures of the President staying up to watch the Nigeria-Bosnia match. In the image, he was hailing the Super Eagles to victory. His pictured aides were laughing too – perhaps too effusively –making you wonder if their joy was about the game or they had to echo Oga’s laughter. Next, they tweeted pictures of the Ekiti celebration; members of the Peoples Democratic Party National Working Committee toasting Ayo Fayose’s victory with champagne. It all looked so good and rosy, enough to make you think God was at work on Nigeria again except the picture was missing any hint of empathy over the plight of the people of Koronginim, Borno State who were slaughtered in their dozens that Saturday morning by Boko Haram.

Obviously, there was nothing about the promises of the President the previous day that were enough to restrain terrorists from reaching into the same pool they had dug into before and committing more atrocities. There is nothing that perhaps arms an enemy more than the knowledge your venom is impotent. Or that words, even when spoken by the President, are mere words and gradually everyone will revert to the business as usual mode.

The centennial city of Jonathan’s dreams

We don’t want to build a city where everybody will have a ‘maiguard.’ We don’t want a city where everybody will dig their boreholes and where everybody will be buying generators.

On Tuesday, the President unveiled the Abuja Centenary City project. In a moment of rhetorical flourish, he hinted that the Centennial City would be a city of the Nigerian dream –envisaged to be one of the best 20 in the world when it is completed. He went on to describe the basic features of his dream city and it turned out to be so basic – no security man, regular water and power supply – that you are embarrassed on his behalf. These features that razzle-dazzle the President are available in even low-income areas of countries he seeks to emulate. For a well-travelled President, he should know that those are not things that make for smart futuristic cities.

His description of how the city-ness of the Centennial City would be different from the cities of present Nigeria was also a tasteless one. It did not take into cognisance that Nigerians do these things in the first place because the government is not responsible enough.

By proclaiming he is planning a city where the regular Nigerian failings will not be apparent, he also admits he is building a bunker where he and those who can afford it will hide from their shortcomings. I quite admire his honesty, I must admit, but it is a rather tactless thing to say.

He should have stuck to his dream of building a city that would replicate modern cities such as Dubai, Singapore and perhaps even Hong Kong.

10 reasons why lovers date their ex

1. Nostalgia

If you want to return to the good ol’ days, wear some jellies and listen to a mixed tape. Don’t use nostalgia as a reason to run back into the arms of your banished boo. Though you never believe it when you’re suffering, there will be others. Lots of others.

2. They’re Good in Bed

Sure, you had some good times with your former lover. But remember: your ex had time to get familiar with your body and kinks. You two might not have had earthquakin’ romps in the beginning, but you’ll probably only (conveniently) recollect the nights of burning passion that came later. Someone else can get you there—but these things don’t always happen overnight.

3. You’ve Changed

Maybe you were in a bad place when you dated. Perhaps you destroyed everything and realize that you missed out on something awesome. If you’re aware of your errors and want to give it another go, it’s worth a shot. Just know: your ex might not be so forgiving.

4. They’ve Changed

Allow me to contradict my previous statement-people (usually) don’t change. It is possible though. For example, did you date an alcoholic whose addiction tore your relationship apart? If your ex has made a conscious effort to fix the problem (therapy, AA, etc.), a second chance is worth consideration. Key word here is “consideration,” however. Don’t enter this situation blindly.

5. Your Family Wants It

It’s a tale as old as time: your family can’t stand your current squeeze and begs you to reconsider your ex. Your family may know best, but inquire why they clamor for your former love. Maybe they saw something that a detached diva like yourself missed. Or, more likely, it could be that they’re nosey and bossy. It’s worth a conversation, but don’t let their opinions be the do all, end all.

6. You Had Amazing Chemistry

While it’s easy to forget this, chemistry does not equate with compatibility. Being able to stare longingly into each other’s eyes doesn’t mean you have what it takes to last as a couple. An explosive, magnetic chemistry with another person is often just fickle hormones talking.

7. You Don’t Think Anyone Else will Love You

This is a dreadful feeling. I wish I could say something wise to evaporate the gut-wrenching insecurity we all experience at some point or another, but I’ve got nothing. So I’ll just say this: don’t run back to your ex if you’re doing it to feel better about yourself. This is the sign of an unhealthy relationship. It may take awkward first dates, an OkCupid account, a matchmaker and a fortune teller, but it is totally possible to find another love. Promise.

8. You’re Bored

No. No. No. No. NO! Just no. This is evil. Don’t toy with another’s emotions because you can’t get laid. Don’t delve back into the valley of the past just for cheap kicks.

9. You Just ‘Have a Feeling’

This one is tricky. Usually, this feeling stems from chemistry, nostalgia or boredom, but we’re too wasted on a crazy cocktail of hormones to identify the source. Talk to your friends and try to figure out why you’re really craving this person. Is it a legitimate reason? Side note: movies don’t portray love accurately and are not a good measure for relationship accuracy. So do not base your feeling on a wine-fueled evening watching The Notebook.

10. It’s Convenient

You have the same friends. You like the same music. Geez, we might as well just fall back into the same pattern! Hold up—no. Don’t do it. Maybe this is a sign that you two were meant to be just friends in the first place. Because guess what, those things that irritated you back then aren’t going away. Bottom line: you’re not doing anyone any favors by re-enlisting in a love war.

UPDATE: Explosion rocks Lagos killing 3 people (PICTURED)

Nigeria appears to be under siege has an explosion has been recorded in the Apapa area of Lagos killing three people.

This is coming about five hours after a bomb blast killed about 21 people at the Banex Plaza along Wuse 2 area of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.

According to report from TheCable Newspapers, the explosion was said to have to have occurred in front of Folawiyo fuel depot located on Creek Road.

The explosion reportedly happened about 8:30pm.

It is not clear if the explosion was an attack or an operational accident at the oil tank farm but several eyewitnesses say it is a bomb attack.

“It is a bomb. The police anti-bomb squad are on their way here. It is bomb blast.”

According to the witness, someone ran into the compound of the tank farm and detonated a bomb, killing three persons instantly.

“We were all scared as we heard the explosion and saw smoke everywhere. Apparently, the first explosion was meant to be a distraction, and then the person went into the compound to detonate the bomb,” she said.

Security agents had a few weeks ago warned citizens of an impending attack in Abuja with fuel tankers used as a form of explosive amplifier. It is, however, not clear if this explosion is somewhat connected to this security warning or just an isolated situation.

Lagos State government officials have, however, dismissed claims that it is a bomb blast.

We shall bring you more details as we get them.

‘My wife’s turning into a whore’ – Husband cries out

Mrs. Usman, a business woman at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, sued for a divorce on grounds of constant trouble, persistent fighting, lack of care and negligence of her and her two children.

She told the court that she got married to Mr. Usman in 2004 and had 2 children, Victor and Blessing aged seven and five respectively.

Reports say:

Faith had also told the court that her husband fights her constantly saying Usman accused her of selling beer at the University Conference hall which she said was not true.

She also complained that her husband did not want her to work, saying University did not allow anybody to sell beer, but only soft drinks were allowed in the academic environment.

The wife condemned her husband’s attitude and maltreatment towards her, saying ”I can no longer continue with the marriage because my husband lacks care, love, trust and he threatens me often.

“I cannot continue with my husband, he has not been showing love and care to me and my two children”.

But Usman denied the claim, saying his wife sells beer and wanted to turn herself to prostitute in which he cannot allow his house wife to be.

Faith appealed to the court to grant her the custody of the children so that she can take proper care of the children educationally and morally.

The Court President, Mr Abidoye Olatunbosun said all effort to resolve the dispute between the couple had proved abortive.

Olatunbosun dissolved the marriage and ordered each to go their separate ways.

The president also ordered that the two children should be in the custody of the mother and the father should give N4,000 and N3,000 respectively to Victor and Blessing monthly for their feeding and up-keep.

Olatunbosun added that their school fees and hospital expenses should be taken care of by the father.

Halima Abubakar shows off eye-popping cleavage in low cut top (LOOK)

Nollywood actress, Halima Abubakar has been a showstopper for a long time as this picture shows.

The sultry star showed off her generous assets in a dangerously low cut top in this throwback photo from last year.

What was Enyeama telling Messi before the Nigeria/Argentina match? (PICTURED)

They exchanged pleasantries with each other before getting on the pitch for the nail-biting encounter at Port Allegre but Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Nigeria’s safe hands, Vincent Enyeama went all out against each other as soon as the match got underway.

Ahmed Musa’s performance in yesterday’s World Cup match is the stuff of legends but Vincent Enyeama’s skill and resilience proved the difference against an Argentine team which boasts of the best scoring pair of legs the world can presently offer.

We can’t help but wonder what Enyeama had to say to Messi before the final group match.

The Nigerian team obviously knew what to expect from Messi in match as the photo above suggests, but Nigeria’s striker and lone goalscorer against Iran, Osaze Odemwingie’s expression in the photo above epitomizes the respect this diminutive South American soccer genius commands – can you see it?

Nigeria lost to Argentina with 3-2 but qualified for the Round of 16 in the world’s greatest footballing spectacle presently underway in Brazil. Congratulations to the Super Eagles!
