As much as I’d like to disagree and slam Davido for being cocky about this, there is a very big truth to his statement. I honestly didn’t care much for the song till Davido jumped on the remix with Lil Kesh and Olamide. This statement is however bound to bring about a ripple effects just like when Wizkid claimed that he is responsible for making Saeon’s ‘Boogie down’ a hit. The BET award-winning pop star was featured by label mate, B-Red on his new single titled ‘Twerk’ and in the song, Davido says: ‘…she dey dance ooo, but she forget say na me make Shoki blow oooo.’ Before the release of B-Red’s ‘Twerk’ song, Davido was featured on the remix of Lil Kesh’s ‘Shoki’ alongside Olamide which dropped in July 2014 while the original version of the song dropped in March 2014. For 2014, ‘Shoki’ has been one of the stand-out songs with singers, Orezi and Dre San also producing their own versions of the song. At the moment none of the different ‘Shoki’ singers including Lil Kesh has responded to Davido’s claim of making ‘Shoki’ a hit.

The ex-international insists that having a viable domestic league in the country will affect the Super Eagles positively Former Nigeria captain Sunday Oliseh has said the surest bet for the country to produce another golden generation in football is by developing the local league. Defending champions Super Eagles failed to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea following a draw in their last qualifying game against South Africa. Oliseh, who played 63 times for Nigeria said country’s football house must be put in order else the Super Eagles will continue to crawl. "We have got technical problems and administrative problems - it is too much for one nation, even if you are Nigeria,” Oliseh told BBC Sport. "At the moment it is bleak. We need to face up to the job and get organised." "During the 1990s a lot of the players were products of the Nigerian league. Those who were playing in Europe had only left two or three years before. Myself, I had moved to Europe only four years before the 1994 World Cup. "It was not as if it was Europe that made us - the Nigerian league produced us, it was so competitive then, it was viable and credible. "The national team does not create players - you select your best players from your clubs to play in the national team. "But now our attention is more focused on the national team and we have neglected the domestic league, that is the major problem in Nigerian football. "If we cannot get the league in order we will never have another golden generation." The former Juventus and Borussia Dortmund star suggested that to move the solve the problems militating against the growth of football in Nigeria, round peg must be placed into round holes. "To fix it we have to get our house in order and it is not too farfetched, the solution to this. For example, if we have a Football Federation president who is doing well, let's leave him in the job,” he continued. "It is great that Nigerian are passionate about football, that they have opinions like a coach. But in reality, everybody thinks they know football - not because they play football but because they know football. It doesn't work like that. "We need to let people who are technicians do the technical work. If you are going to talk about tactics or physical, let that be somebody who has that expertise,” he concluded.

The Argentina international struck three times at Camp Nou, passing through the 400-goal barrier in the process, while Gerard Pique and Pedro were also on target Lionel Messi scored a superb hat-trick as Barcelona came from behind to rout city rivals Espanyol 5-1 on Sunday evening. Blaugrana academy product Sergio Garcia silenced Camp Nou by opening the scoring 13 minutes in but Messi levelled matters just before half-time. The Argentina international put Barca ahead five minutes into the second half and, after Gerard Pique had headed home a third, the four-time Ballon d'Or winner completed his hat-trick with his second right-footed finish of the game. There was even time for Pedro to add a fifth, as Barca warmed up for Wednesday's crunch Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain in fine style. Barca started sluggishly, as Garcia flashed a cross in from the left, and only a last-ditch Jordi Alba intervention denied Lucas Vazquez an easy finish. But clinical visiting play saw Espanyol seize the initiative as Felipe Caicedo robbed Sergio Busquets on the right flank, and fed Garcia , who breezed past Pique before executing a low finish past Claudio Bravo. Garcia could only fire tamely at Bravo as Espanyol threatened to double their lead, but it only seemed to spur Barca on further as Messi struck the crossbar with a 30-yard free-kick, before Luis Suarez fired just wide. And with home pressure building before the break, Messi bent an unstoppable effort into the bottom-left corner from 25 yards to restore parity on the stroke of half-time. The visitors were somewhat lucky not to be reduced to 10 men in the 49th minute as Eric Bailly barged Neymar over with the Brazilian through on goal. But it mattered little to Barca, who edged themselves ahead a minute later. Messi 's first touch from Suarez's pass was heavy, but he reacted quickly to poke the ball through Juan Fuentes' legs and then stroke right-footed past Casilla from the edge of the area. And their third arrived shortly after, Pique atoning for his role in Garcia's opener as he headed Ivan Rakitic's corner into the net. With the result already in little doubt, substitute Pedro latched on to Alba's exquisite cross-field pass before coolly slotting beyond Casilla in the 77th minute and Messi completed the rout four minute later. The Argentine combined brilliantly with Pedro, playing a one- two into the area before steering into the net from 10 yards, securing his third hat-trick in four games and maintaining Barca's dominance over their near neighbours.

The Portuguese coach says his side "did not deserve" to lose Saturday's game - their first loss of the season - and believes the referee failed to control the hosts' time wasting Jose Mourinho has blamed Newcastle 's ball boys for ending Chelsea 's unbeaten start to the season with what he perceived as time-wasting at St James' Park on Saturday. A double from substitute Papiss Cisse put the hosts ahead and, despite the Magpies being reduced to 10 men and Didier Drogba scoring with time to spare, the Blues were unable to find a late equaliser to cling into their record. And the Portuguese boss was furious with the home side's ball boys and their delaying tactics, even suggesting that the match officials should have awarded more than the six minutes of stoppage time that was added on. "We wanted to play more football, but that was not possible because a few things that I thought didn't belong any more to top level football but still belongs - the ball disappears, the ball doesn't come, another ball comes, the ball boys they run away," Mourinho told BT Sport. "These are the kinds of situation which our unfortunately still part of the game. You didn't see that the ball disappeared? They keep the ball, they hide the ball, we want to play, no ball. When one ball comes the second ball appears again. This kind of strategy. He added to BBC Sport: "My team lost the way I like to lose which is to give everything and being unlucky. Only one team played to win. After the second goal the team lost their emotional balance. A point was the minimum we deserved. "There could have been 20 minutes stoppage time but the situation would have been the same because things were happening outside the four lines that the referee couldn't control. "The referee can't punish the ball boy who disappeared with the ball, the referee couldn't punish the people in the crowd who kept the ball. I'm not obsessed with records and statistics, that's not for me, I want to win the league." The loss ends Chelsea's hopes of emulating Arsene Wenger's Arsenal 'Invincibles', but they remain top of the league, ahead of second-placed Manchester City.

Cristiano Ronaldo was in the thick of things for Real Madrid yet again against Celta and made history in the process with his 23rd league hat-trick for the club, a new Spanish football record. The treble also served to propel CR7 on to 201 goals in La Liga, a tally he has needed just 178 appearances to rack up, meaning he has surpassed the 200 mark quicker than has ever been done before. Two further stats serve to illustrate Ronaldo's brilliance. The Real star now has 23 league goals this season (of which seven were penalties, including an admittedly somewhat dodgy one to get the ball rolling against Celta). He has also scored in 17 straight La Liga appearances at the Bernabéu, a streak dating back to the win over Málaga on 19th October 2013.

We all loved the amazing chemistry between Tiwa and Patoranking as they performed their hit song 'Girlie O remix' at the recently held Chanel O awards in South Africa. Recall that there was no body contact between them in the official musical video of the track, however, Patoranking didn’t go easy on Tiwa this time. Both stars got cozy and cozier…

Suspected Boko Haram gunmen on Thursday (Dec 4) stormed two towns in northeast Nigeria, raiding banks and burning government buildings as well as political party offices, residents told AFP. Scores of gunmen dressed in military uniform arrived in Bajoga, 60 kilometres from Gombe city in a convoy of 20 vehicles at about 7:00am (2pm Singapore time). Troops managed to push the attackers out and they then drove towards the town of Ashaka, five kilometres near the border with Yobe state to the northeast. Both raids came after an attack on the Yobe state capital, Damaturu, on Monday, which left more than 150 people dead, including 38 police and six soldiers. Militant fighters in that raid are thought to have come from the Buni Yadi area in the southern part of Yobe, which Boko Haram has controlled for some time. Although not as badly hit by Boko Haram violence as Yobe, Borno and Adamawa states, Gombe has seen a number of attacks, including a bus station bombing in October which killed at least eight. Ashaka, which is home to a giant cement works owned by French group Lafarge, was hit on November 4, when fighters stole huge quantities of dynamite and several pick-up trucks from the plant. In June, Boko Haram deployed its first female suicide bomber when a middle-aged woman detonated her explosives outside a barracks in Gombe city. The two attacks on Bajoga and Ashaka fit a pattern of almost daily violence by the militants, who have taken over more than two dozen towns in the three worst-affected states in recent months. Boko Haram has frequently raided banks for funds to buy weapons, while burning down police stations, government and political party buildings is a sign of their opposition to secular rule. In Bajoga, residents said the militants shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is greater) and fired indiscriminately before burning down a police station in a three-hour battle with troops. “They raided two banks and set fire to offices of political parties. They also set sections of the local government secretariat on fire,” said resident Babani Ashiru. Another resident, Sani Dankani, said the sound of gunfire and explosions forced him to flee into the nearby bush. “From where I’m standing, I can see billows of black smoke coming from different parts of the town,” he added. Troop reinforcements were sent from Gombe and a military jet which bombed the militants forced them to withdraw, said local schoolteacher Sa’adu Balarabe. Residents in Ashaka reported heavy fighting between troops and the gunmen in the town from about 11am. “All we can hear is sounds of guns and explosions,” said Samaila Adnan. “Heavy fighting is now going on between the gunmen and soldiers. A military jet is encircling the town,” added another local, Altine Badamasi. Since the previous attack on the Lafarge works, more troops were deployed to the town to try to prevent further attacks, residents said. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=93950

Didier Drogba and Loic Remy both found the net against Tottenham in the absence of the Brazil-born Spaniard to preserve Chelsea's six-point lead at the top of the league Jose Mourinho has praised his Chelsea players for their performance without Diego Costa in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Tottenham at Stamford Bridge. Replacement Didier Drogba and substitute Loic Remy - along with Eden Hazard - found the net as the Blues comfortably saw off their London rivals to preserve a six-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. And Mourinho insists he was never worried by the absence of top scorer Costa - who missed out through suspension - because he trusted that the rest of his team would step up. "Did you remember Diego Costa today? I didn't," said Mourinho. "We need Diego Costa but our mentality is the right mentality. You don't cry about it. You give responsibility to the others and they respond in the best way." Drogba stole the headlines in Costa's absence, setting up Hazard for the opening goal and scoring the second himself, and Mourinho was full of praise for the veteran Ivorian. "It's remarkable," he added. "First of all he's a team player, after that he's one of these players with an old days mentality. He's not selfish, not vain, a humble guy. He plays for the team, fights for the team. He's fantastic. "When he comes from the bench for the last couple of minutes because the team needs him, he does it with the same mentality as when he starts against Tottenham. Fantastic. "He is going to finish his career at Chelsea and it looks to me like he will stay here doing other things. "I played against him last year and I could feel the potential he still has, so I'm not surprised. I knew he would adapt very well to this important role in the team from a mental point of view. "When he came here, he came here to stay. I think it will be his decision when to decide to stop as a player.

Story's Dat touch.... |
The sense of relief around Old Trafford was palpable as Robin van Persie netted his first goal in four games, rifling an unstoppable, trademark left-footed drive into the top corner as Manchester United sauntered past Hull City on Saturday. It was the performance that Louis van Gaal, and supporters, have been waiting for from a striker who had evoked the talismanic magnetism of Eric Cantona in his maiden campaign with the club, but who has struggled to live up to that billing more recently. Van Persie’s malaise has been such that he was a major doubt to even start against Hull – one of Radamel Falcao, a constant fitness worry, or youngster James Wilson were expected to be preferred – but validated his selection with his first and only goal in the month of November. "It was a beautiful goal," said his manager afterwards, "and I’m very happy because he needed that." As the adage goes, form is temporary but class is permanent, and the Dutchman’s effort showed that his explosive, match- winning brilliance is still bubbling beneath the surface – though it remains to be seen whether his powerful strike marks a return to his pomp, or is merely a flash in the pan of a player on the decline, a reminder of a brilliance that was once routine but is now all too rare. From scoring a goal every 98 minutes (or 0.91 goals per 90 minutes) at his most venomous in the 2010-11 season, Van Persie’s strike rate has fallen over time to one every 230 minutes (or 0.39 per 90 minutes) this season. Over that same period the number of shots he takes has almost halved, while his assist rate is down 75 per cent (from 0.36 per 90 minutes to just 0.09). Van Gaal might have expected Van Persie’s last-minute equaliser against Chelsea at the tail-end of October to stir him back to life, but he never built upon that goal. Instead he drifted back to being ineffective and laboured once more, culminating in a singularly peripheral performance away to Arsenal. He can’t afford for the same thing to happen after his latest strike. Fortunately for Van Persie, Tuesday night’s opponents Stoke City are a welcome adversary. The Netherlands international has scored 10 times in nine appearances against the Potters – there isn’t a current Premier League side against whom he is more prolific – hitting the back of the net, on average, every 65 minutes. He could not have picked a more perfect opportunity to turn his single, slump-ending strike at the weekend into the beginnings of a goalscoring streak. And that is exactly what he must do if he is going to save his United career. Already the rumour mill is rife with speculation that this could be his final season at Old Trafford – Inter, now managed by Roberto Mancini, are the latest club to emerge as an apparent suitor – while a potential new contract, as revealed by Goal in November , feels more like a club trying to tie down the player’s re-sale potential rather than backing their man. While Van Gaal is at the club, though, Van Persie is likely to be too, even though he was overlooked for the captaincy and must play second fiddle to Wayne Rooney. "I think he shall always play [under] me," said the veteran coach of his skipper, and it has increasingly become apparent that Van Gaal’s attack consists of Rooney-plus-one. That could prove problematic for Van Persie, who has always had a rather uneasy partnership with the former Everton forward. Their relationship is not of the SAS variety, they do not dovetail naturally – the on-the-shoulder presence of Falcao is perhaps a better foil for the United captain – and Rooney’s goal on Saturday, set up by the Dutchman, was the first time since November 2013 that they have combined to score a league goal. Even then, Van Persie was crying for a return pass as his strike partner wrapped his foot around the ball. That lay-off proved to be Van Persie’s first assist since March and it is notable how much his all-round game has diluted since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure; "the person it hit more than anyone was Robin," said Rio Ferdiniand of the effect the Scot's retirement had on the £22.5 million recruit

The ex-Brazil star admits the Real Madrid talisman is a "very complete player" but feels his former Barcelona team-mate is the better of the two Ronaldinho has praised Cristiano Ronaldo , saying he is a "complete" player, but says "magic" Lionel Messi is better. The Barcelona star and Real Madrid talisman have both been named in the final three for the 2014 Ballon d'Or alongside Bayern Munich and Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. And Messi's former Barca team-mate insists that the Argentina captain is the better of La Liga's superstars. "We players asked [then Barca coach] Frank Rijkaard to bring Messi into the first team’s training sessions," he told El Enganche. "Cristiano Ronaldo is a very complete player, but Messi is better because he has magic." The former Brazil star revealed that he almost joined Manchester United, but it was former president Sandro Rosell who convinced him to join the Camp Nou side. "Everything was beautiful and happened fast. A great friend of mine was about to become a part of the Barcelona board: Sandro Rosell. "Before the offers came, he had asked me if I would play in Barcelona when they won the election and became the presidents, and I had said 'Yes'. "I was almost on my way to Manchester United and only the details needed to be put onto that deal. But in the last minute Rosell called me to tell me they would win the election. That made everything happen fast. "I wanted to play in Barcelona. When I signed, I didn’t feel pressure, I felt joy. I had the chance that all of the players wanted, to play in a great club like Barcelona. "I had the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of my idols. I was proud to play where Romario, Ronaldo and Rivaldo had played and I had the chance to be Barcelona’s new 'R'. I loved that.

Real Madrid player, Jesé, is beginning to feel like a footballer again, eight months on. His return, following a long absence through injury, could not have been better. The Real Madrid striker was back in action in the Copa del Rey match against Cornellà, and hit the ground running with a goal. Ancelotti gave him some minutes to get him back into the groove, the home-grown talent going on in the 57th minute to replace Khedira, who had taken a heavy knock. The Santiago Bernabéu crowd gave him a rousing welcome, cheering him on for his long-awaited return. Jesé was somewhat cautious in the initial actions, needing to take things slowly coming back from his injury. His goalscoring instinct is still very much intact, however. The Spanish player got on the end of an assist from Isco to punch through the defences of the Catalan side. It was the fifth goal for Real Madrid to complete their landslide victory. The player celebrated his strike with great excitement. First he hugged his teammates and then ran over to share the moment with the fitness coaches who have helped in his return to the pitch. At the end of the match, Jesé revealed his pleasure at being part of the team again: "After many months of suffering, I'm happy to be back and to score. I'm really happy".
