After a tough loss to the five time champions, Brazil, the Nigerian team came back with a vengeance and hung for goals against the koreans in the second round of the U20 world cup in New Zealand.
2 goals from Saviour Godwin, a great goal from Success Issac and a bullet from Kinglsley Sokari was enough to secure Nigeria their first 3 points of the tournament

Massive flooding in Ghana’s capital swept stored fuel into a nearby fire, setting off a huge explosion at a gas station that killed 73 people and set alight neighboring building. The explosion took place as dozens sought shelter in gas station and nearby shops in central Accra to escape the torrential rains and charred bodies were left scattered through the whole site.
The flooding “caused the diesel and petrol to flow away from the gas station and a fire from a nearby house led to the explosion,” said Billy Anaglate spokesman for Ghana’s national fire service.

We started the Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards program to celebrate successful entrepreneurs, so they could share their stories, inspire others and receive the recognition they deserve. Our first program took place in 1986 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the United States

By 1987 it was held across 11 US cities. And in 1993 the program started to expand internationally. Today the program spans more than 140 cities in 50 countries, which together represent more than 90% of the global economy.

Over the past five years, more than 6,500 entrepreneurs joined the Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni. A “who’s who” of both developed and emerging markets, these alumni include many household names. Over half of today’s top 100 NASDAQ companies have won Entrepreneur Of The Year, and most received the award before they achieved top 100 status.

Twelve years ago we decided to go global and started World Entrepreneur Of The Year. Held annually in Monaco, Entrepreneur Of The Year country winners compete for the World Entrepreneur Of The Year title. Past winners include Michael Spencer of ICAP plc, Guy Laliberté of Cirque du Soleil and Narayana Murthy of Infosys Technologies.

It was mostly AFricans that voted for him!

Despite the biggest scandal to ever hit the international football organisation, Sepp Blatter was reelected president for and unprecedented 5th time. The victory came after Jordan's Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein, who had been seen as the biggest threat to unseat Blatter, decided to withdraw from the election. However, there was never any doubt that he would win as he is extremely popular among the voting blocks of Africa and South America. Watch his speech after he found out he had been reelected.

After 27 years in prison, Nelson Mandela was finally released in 1990. Many in South Africa thought his release would lead to civil war. Instead he set out on a path to unite White and Black South Africans. This documentary talks about how he worked to bring the Rugby world cup to South Africa and in turn how the Rugby players worked to win the title for him! Narrated by Morgan Freeman.

They say never bring a knife to a gun fight, but they should also say never bring a knife to a fight with over 20 police! Not sure what is wrong with this guy, in this video you can see him running after the police with knife before he got tasered. He is lucky this happened in the U.K. because if it was in the USA he would have gotten 80 bullets in his behind!!!

The fight of the century happened and it was between two guys not named Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, instead it was Mitt Romney and Evander Holyfield? Ok, you dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that this was not the fight of the century, but rather a staged fight for a charity event. It was still interesting to see a former presidential candidate, barechested in the boxing ring. Romney even took the microphone and gave his best fighter promotional speech. Enjoy!
