Chelsea are interested in Manchester United star, Anthony Martial and will move for the Frenchman in January, if they can offload one of their own forwards
Martial is out of contract at the end of the season and the 22-year-old recently rejected a new deal from United.
Although the Red Devils have the option of extending his deal with a 12-month extension clause, they fear they’ll be forced into selling the player, if he remains reluctant to commit to a long-term deal
Juventus were interested in Martial last summer, before they signed Cristiano Ronaldo and Sky Sports claim that United believe Chelsea will make their move in January.
Martial scored twice against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge earlier this season in a pulsating 2-2 draw.

A little over a week ago, she was involved in a physical altercation with Nicki Minaj, where she ended up with a large welt above her right eye.

But Cardi B didn’t look any worse for wear as she headed to her husband’s concert in Philadelphia on Friday.

The 25-year-old rapper flaunted her curves in a yellow bodysuit, as she pushed her two-month-old daughter Kulture in a stroller.

The Bodak Yellow rapper’s garment hugged her bountiful derriere as she maid her way through the backstage area.

Cardi sported platinum blonde locks that fell far past her waist, a drastic switch from her dark tresses from just over a week ago.

She added a pair of pointed, nude heels and painted her lips a soft pink.

She posted a photo of the moment to her Instagram account and captioned it, We came to see Poppa Bear.’

Bobrisky, a self-acclaimed Nigerian barbie, was recently denied entry into the United Kingdom (UK) where he was planned to hold a birthday party and scheduled a meet and greet event with some of his fans.
The cross-dresser, on arrival at the Heathrow airport in London, was held at a detention camp and subsequently put on a return flight back to Lagos. We gathered that the cross-dresser was denied entry into the UK because his visa does not allow him to work in the UK as he was poised to make money via his appearances during his visit to the UK.
Bobrisky is a Nigerian internet personality, entrepreneur, actor and crossdresser born as Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju who is popularly known for his social media skill most notably with the use of a social media application, Snapchat.

Argentine Football legend Maradona has been removed as ambassador for FIFA and will no longer be paid over his poor conduct during the Argentina and Nigeria match.
Maradona had celebrated Argentine’s second goal by raising his middle finger at fans who were trolling him when the score was at 1-1 draw.
FIFA had considered his behavior embarrassing and hence will no longer be entitled to the fee he do receives from the world soccer governing body for bringing the spotlight to any world cup match he witnessed live.
He has also been urged to be of good behavior in the remaining games he’s going to watch at the world cup if he is to avoid a possible stadium ban.

Former Ivory Coast captain, Didier Drogba has told the Super Eagles of Nigeria that they will go home if they start defending against Argentina. The South Americans are Nigeria’s next opponent in the 2018 World Cup going on in Russia.

As Nigeria prepares to take on the La Albiceleste on Tuesday, Drogba urged them to keep to their style of play if they are to go far at the 2018 World Cup. Drogba told BBC Sport that the Eagles must keep to their aggressive and fast style of playing if they want to go far at the tournament.

“It has been a disappointing start to the World Cup for Africa – until Nigeria beat Iceland on Friday.” The former Chelsea striker said. “There had been six defeats in seven games for the five African countries in Russia. So it was great to see the Super Eagles win , but the way they did it was just as important and impressive. In the second half, Nigeria came to life and played the way I want to see all the African teams play – going on the attack, using their pace and power, and having lots of shots.” he included.

Continuing, he added: “That is what I did not see in their first game against Croatia , when Nigeria were playing within themselves – keeping a good shape , playing safe, and passing the ball from side to side. This time, they went out just to win. They played with two strikers and they were so fast and aggressive going forward that they frightened Iceland. They were spontaneous and exciting, which is the way I expected them to play at this World Cup – and that is why they won the game. The point I am making is that they need to keep their identity as a team. It is important they keep doing that if they are going to reach the last 16. If they decide to stay defensive and start fearing conceding goals, they will be going home.”

We have seen him speak to football with his legs and they listen and obey but we have not see the Nigerian football legend, Jay Jay Okocha go easy on the dance floor.

In a recent clip which went viral on the internet, the Super Eagles legend reminded his fans of his extraordinary football moves in the beautiful game which I strongly believe they have not forgotten in a hurry. Okocha who was 'too good they named him twice' joggled the ball for over a minute and ended it with a 'Shaku Shaku' dance moves to seal his multiskilled personality both on the football field and on the dance floor.

Thousands of football fans were left with Nostalgic feelings after watching the Nigerian football wizard' stellar display on Instagram which he captioned, "Extraordinary moves on the field and on the dancefloor! This season, it's time to #ShakuShakuForNaija."
Indeed, Jay Jay Okocha sprinkled smiles on the faces of many football fans all over the world with his entertaining football moves and positive attitudes on the pitch that made us believe that the 'beautiful game' is true to its name.

The Ex-Super Eagles player is expected to be in Russia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup where he will be cheering the boys up and assuming the role of a father-figure.

Last week, somewhere around the Ejigbo area of Lagos, I saw an Alajo (daily contributions-collector) stroll out of an olosho (commercial sex workers’) house. I am not one given to assumptions or hasty generalisations but she had a modesty so holy about her that my curiosity became insanely exacerbated. She wore no earrings, her hair was in simple braids, her skirt was loose and she had the countenance of a rapture-ready “born again” Christian. I had to ask and after being assured that she was indeed a follower of Christ who also doubled as the licensed collector of daily contributions for the area Oloshos, I sank into a deep reflection. I wish I had asked if she was not conflicted about the seeming incompatibility of her religious views with the very business which produces the capital for her venture.

When she dances towards the altar to drop her offering on the last Sunday of the month, does she feel a prick in her conscience? Does anything about the sermon from the pulpit cut deep through her very being or does it further serenade her perfected indifference about the “whatever-ness” of the source of the offerings she brings into the House of the Lord?

Her perfected indifference or the convenient separation of religious demands from her everyday life epitomises the high hypocrisy to be found in our general engagement with religion. It highlights the sad ironies in the sharp contrasts between our renowned national piety on the one hand and the glorification of graft and criminality on the other hand. It explains why we export so much of merchandised religiosity to the rest of the world but fail to retain a little of that to address some of our domestic maladies.

The veteran journalist, Uncle Jimi, recently joked on his radio show about how Nigeria is the only country in the world where you get on a bus and when someone suddenly says ‘Can we bow our heads for prayer’ on a Monday morning, everybody’s head lowers in obedience, including the driver’s!

Recently, Timi Dakolo ranted about an Abuja cleric who is supposed to be in jail for his alleged unholy exploitation of young girls and all hell broke loose. He was threatened, cautioned and warned about the sinfulness of chastising a “man of God”. Even the few comments in Dakolo’s support didn’t seem to have come from an analytical engagement with the alleged criminality in the cleric’s act but generally from the ‘it is well’ and ‘God will judge’ kind of mentality.

It is in the context of that blind, sheepish and largely ignorant engagement with religion that one finds the threat issued by The Muslim Rights Concern to musician Falz about his ‘This is Nigeria’ track very annoying and largely disturbing. The song, an imitation of an American song with a similar title, parodies the goings-on in a country fraught with a myriad of national challenges. It’s an effective attempt at a didactic satire in the hope that social consciousness will be awakened in a way which engenders meaningful conversations focused on leveraging effective strategies to combat our problems. The song clearly addresses the rampant insecurity, herdsmen killings, police brutality, youth restiveness, criminality and corruption in the land.

Unfortunately, rather than address the serious issues raised, the hoopla has been about the singer’s right to point out the issues and his alleged violation of certain religious sensibilities. The angst has been about Falz’s preferred costume and his “unholy” depiction of a certain tribe in the video. Do we hasten to condemn Boko Haram for using hijab-wearing young girls as suicide bombers with the same alacrity or rush to the plight of the victims of the senseless slaughters occurring daily in the Middle Belt? Why do we hasten with so much unchecked ignorance to defend the “God” who is more than capable of defending Himself but care less about the social injustice, oppression, wickedness and satanic exploitations going on around us?

It is time we got seriously talking about the issues militating against the country’s progress and stopped window-dressing or elevating religious preferences to frontal national issues. Political and religious leaders have looted the country and their congregations under the guise of religion for far too long, one would expect that we ought to have become enlightened enough to realise that continuing to travel a path which has hampered our national progress for this long is no longer tenable.

We must move consciously in the direction of reason so that when cogent issues are raised, we go beyond our religious biases to engage and analyse the issues so that after the reasoned distillation, we can retain refined points capable of launching us to national greatness
