TONYE001: Le Palais du President is the official home of the President of Senegal. It is often referred to as the White House. It is not far from Senegal’s Assemblee Nationale (National Assembly) and the Administration Building. It’s a white building resting with pride on a vast acre of land with the national flag of Senegal flying above. This building is always guarded by the Garde Rouge [/i]and the military.

The Senegalese, like most French people, are a set of surprisingly free people. This is a fact I was going to confirm in no time.

[i]Monsieur le Cow-boy Idi asked the driver to stop at a safe location, almost directly opposite to the White House. I was alarmed.

“Monsieur, are you sure this is safe?” I asked imagining the consequences of a similar scenario in Nigeria.

“Monsieur Tonye, you have no reason to fear when you are with the cow-boy.” He boasted as he ordered me to follow him.

I wasn’t sure if we were doing the right thing as my heart began beating fast to the rhythm of fear.

“Are you sure about this Idi?” I protested.

“Just follow me my friend. This is Dakar, trust me.” He replied.

He crossed the road as I followed him behind, allowing a considerable distance between us making it difficult to be associated with him in case something goes wrong.

“Monsieur, I know you really want to show me around Dakar. I understand you want to give me a satisfying tour but I think this is enough. I really do appreciate your White House from this distance. I think we should get going.” I shouted in undertones as I followed cautiously.

“My brother, I want you to see everything first hand. Now you’ll have enough to tell your people at home.” He responded.

“Wow! What a beautiful place! This is enough for a first-hand experience. Can we go now please?” I said.

His ears turned deaf to my pleas.

At the other side of the road, Cow-boy Idi met with a military man just beside the President’s Palace. They spoke in a native tongue for a while. I saw the military man nod his head as he stepped back making way for Cow-boy to go through. Cow-boy signaled me to follow him (I was nowhere near him throughout the period he spoke with the soldier).

As I walked past the soldier, I nodded as I greeted him in the French tongue.

We got to the front of the Palace, just beside the Garde Rouge. The Garde Rouge is an armed guard in red standing motionless at the entrance. His face was so squeezed that it appeared to be reflecting the rays of the harsh Senegalese sun.

“That’s the Palace of the President. This is our White House.” Monsieur Idi explained as he pointed through the spaces of the bars of the black gate completely ignoring the guard that was standing just a step beside us. It was a funny scenario that always reminded me of one of the episodes of Mr. Bean’s series.

“Wow. What beauty!” I said in obvious excitement.

“Can I take some pictures?” I asked.

Cow-boy Idi turned to the soldier he spoke with and asked if we could take pictures. The soldier gave us a green light.

Idi and I took pictures with the motionless guard in turns and I also tried to take pictures of the building (the gate made this task difficult).

When we were done, I thanked the guard (he didn’t respond, of course) and the soldier as we zoomed off.

lolest! I just imagined taking a foreigner/tourist to d gates of aso rock and asking to look around....lolest, see bulala/koboko/frog jump/detention wey go follow am...chaiiii

After 185 games John Obi Mikel has finally scored for Chelsea in the west London derby against Fulham; his well-timed and well-struck side volley from six yards has ended the seven-year drought for his club in terms of goals. But why has it taken so long?

Well, Mikel's role for Chelsea is winning the first ball in the air and retaining possession in the middle of the pitch, something he does with success on a consistent basis.

Maybe you'd expect from a 6ft 2in man that he would score more headers. Well, no. When Chelsea have an attacking free-kick or corner, he covers the defence where John Terry, Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic push forward to attack the ball. Mikel sits back and readies himself to clear any counter-attacking threat.


The real type of player where you don't actually see how much he does for his team on the pitch until you fully watch him the whole match - now why would you watch one player for the whole match?

Well, watch him to give him the respect of what he does for his team. Constantly dominating the midfield against all forms of opposition. Personally he doesn't get the recognition he deserves around the Premier League and even with the Chelsea fans, but as a Blues fan myself, he gets my greatest praise.

Mikel has scored four times in his 51 appearances for Nigeria, which is a lot better than one in 185 for Chelsea. Sure he snatches at his shots and he's no Frank Lampard in scoring goals from midfield positions, but he's your ultimate defensive midfielder and it's time people respect him for who he is.
Every chelsea coach has used him regularly

Serena beat azarenka (6-5,6-7,6-1) to win her 17th grand slams title at the usopen. With the she's going I see her beating the record 22 grand slam titles won by a single female. Serena! Congrats and more grease to ur elbows.
