ENUGU RANGERS/NIGERIAN INTERNATIONAL SET TO JOIN JOEY BARTON AT MARSEILLE!

At the close of the day, Nigeria's left winger and Enugu Rangers' star, Ejike Uzoenyi will know if he'll take medicals just like Joey Barton in order to get a deal with the French side. He is currently in France in talks to join Olympique Marseille...reports have it that he had a successful trial.

Ejike's consistently played in coach Stephen Keshi's new look eagles. 
Super Eagles' coach Stephen Keshi said of Ejike,
“He's been consistent with us for eight months and the idea is for him not to rush into slave contracts, as had been the case, if they are beginning to get attention from clubs abroad, we are happy for them, because they will enrich the national team and also better the lives of their families”.
He concluded by saying,
“I wish him the best, but he like others is expected early for the game against Liberia".

PREGNANT AMBER ROSE STOPS SMOKING AS WIZKHALIFA PREPARES FOR FATHERHOOD

Expectant duo - WizKhalifa and Amber Rose

An inside source reportedly told 'radar online' that, though WizKhalifa and Amber Rose were not prepping for parenthood, but the couple's realisation that Amber's now with child's excited the duo...Now a lot of adjustments had to be made...one of them's the fact that Amber Rose' stopped smoking!

Wiz' had tweeted weeks back he was prepared for fatherhood, this we believe was to prepare our minds for this pregnancy news.
And on Philadephia's Hot 107.9FM Wizkhalifa had denied the pregnancy rumours this month saying:
"I want babies. I definitely want to have kids for sure. Oh, you all think Amber's pregnant? Cause I've been asked that. Do you think Amber's pregnant?"
"A lot of people didn't even know she dyed her hair. They thought she was a natural blonde. I'm saying here that is not what people think it is".
"But, she will have my baby in life, and you guys will know when she's pregnant. But it's not the time now for people to start going crazy."

If Amber's pregnant the next question is, a boy or girl? We'll keep you posted.

HE CONTESTED AGAINST YAR'ADUA, WORKED FOR GOODLUCK...NOW HE'S RESIGNED...WHY POWER MINISTER NNAJI HAD TO GO...

Barth Nnaji

President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday accepted Minister of power, Professor Nnaji’s resignation from office with immediate effect.
In response to Nnaji's resignation, the president thanked him for his services to the nation under the present administration and wished him well in his future endeavour.
The former Minister is yet to make any comment on his resignation, there are reports linking him to two of the companies that were initially cleared to participate in the forthcoming bidding process for some of the nation’s power generation and distribution companies on September 25, 2012.
Before his resignation, Professor Nnaji had been at loggerheads with electricity unions over the on-going reforms in the power sector and the privitisation of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), was totally commited to the privatisation of the power sector.
A major source of that conflict has been the issue of the severance benefits to be paid to the staff of the PHCN after the sale of the 18 companies produced by the unbundling of the company.
Prof Nnaji is the director and a founder of the Automation and Robotics Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He was made a Professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering in 1992.
He is also the founder of the first indigenously owned power generating company in Nigeria and was also a former minister for Science and Technology in the country.
He contested for Nigeria's Presidency as Better Nigeria Party's Presidential candidate against late president Yaradua and others in 2007.

RIDICULOUS! K-SOLO AND WIFE SAY BATTERY AND STEALING ALLEGATIONS WERE MAKE BELIEVE ACTS

While answering questions on the alleged wife battery scenario that the couple were both involved in months back with the channels tv team, K-Solo and his wife had this to say...

“we were just acting and playing pranks on the media and friends with the reports.”

The couple who appeared very cheerful claimed they were just having fun.

MADAM KUTI'S GRANDSON WANTS HIS GRANDMA'S FACE OUT OF THE PROPOSED 5000 NAIRA NOTE!

While asking questions from channels tv on googleplus Seun Kuti the grandson of Mrs Funmilayo Kuti whose face is one of the three women the CBN is proposing to print on the 5000 naira note, Seun said:

“I do not have the power to stop the FG from printing the note but I would want the FG to remove my grandma’s face from the so-called note.”

When informed Nigeria'll spend 40 billion naira on the project the Afro beat star added:

“If I had N40b I will rebuild the federal government primary and secondary schools, rather than waste it on printing the N5000 note. That note cannot solve Nigeria’s problems, the government should learn to invest in people…the Kuti family is more concerned about the development of the country not the naira. If I were the FG, I would establish more schools, improve on the educational system rather than come up with N5000 note idea."

Seun concluded by saying:

“the FG’s plan to crush down the social media cannot work because it is the one way through which we curb down the FG’s excesses’.
