Maybe you will change your definition of dream countries after visiting some of these countries. Take for instance, given a choice where I would like to retire or spend the rest of my life between the United Kingdom and Costa Rica, most people would chose the UK. But based on my personal experience, Costa Rica is one of the best countries in the world.

It depends on where you're travelling out of. I paid about $350 from the United States. As per jobs, I think you can definitely get a job in the hotel or tourism industry.

Dominican Republic is even richer, from what I heard. Both countries have some of the best beaches in the whole wide world.

Most Euro countries are crap. In fact, you'll have better opportunities in African countries such as Mauritius and Botswana than in many parts of Europe. Forget the hype (or shall we say the stories).

Bia, did Rohr really say that?

Then I would ask him a follow up question. Who exactly are these players warming the bench in their clubs? Is it Victor Moses, Ndidi, Simon Moses, Mikel Obi, Etebo, Ekong, Shehu, Onazi, Onyekuru, Awazien, Ogu, Agu etc etc. We shouldn't let that ridiculous statement hanging out there. The man is already making excuses for failure in Russia shocked

I partly agree that the 6 months of little action Kelechi had endured in Leicester has reduced his market value. Football is a funny sport. The overriding is all about 'what have you done for me lately.' But, having said that, Kelechi is young and wickedly talented ... he will resurrect his career. The cream always rises to the top.

However, I will advice Kelechi to fire his agent(s) if he doesn't get a contact this summer. With all the EPL teams struggling to scorer goals this seasons, there's absolutely no excuse why Kelechi could not find a team willing to invest on a young striker and a proven goal scorer. Take it from me, with good marketing, several football would be willing to offer top dollars for his services.


O pari

komekn:
Well that no source at all, it is essential speculation and agent talk.

There are players that clubs are fighting to get Zaha, Mahrez, Ssegnon, Dembele, etc

And they are players you are trying to market and convince a club to buy and if possible take on loan.

In other words you are just marketing the player and exploring possible options.

Ighalo as it stands in my opinion is the best striker we havering in the current SE set up. I do not look at KC as a striker but a SS. Hee is also not too versatile for instance I wouldn't be very confident him playing on the wings.

Omo, Kelechi is an ambitious guy. He's not happy riding the pines ... he wants to play football. So just pray that he finds a good club this month, because we gonna need him in Russia. I have zero confidence in Odion Ighalo to deliver on the biggest stage.

SportsRe: Arsenal To Fine Alex Iwobi Over ‘Unacceptable’ Partying Before Cup Loss by Icon79(m): 7:24pm On Jan 10, 2018
You have a point sha. They were too casual in the first 15-20 mins of that game. In fact, they didn't start playing until Nottingham Forest scored their first goal. But by then the damage has already been done because Nottingham Forest started growing in confidence ... then you can't put the genie back into the bottle.

And by the way, I think Chelsea will trash them today. Antonio Conte is angry right now so Chelsea is gonna relieve stress on Arsenal tonight grin

No team is to be underestimated. That Nottingham forest is a lower division team doesn't mean that their players are any less professional. Arsenal players don't seem to realize this, that's why they're fumbling against smaller teams. Watch them bring their A game againt Chelsea tonight.

This doesn't surprise me one bit. After all, the current kingmaker of Naija politics, Bola Tinubu, wasn't he a cab driver in Chicago for several years? He didn't even graduate from University of Chicago. But two terms as Lagos state governor turned him into one of the richest man in the world!

That's naija politics for you. Welcome Kleptocracy, y'all!

@POLITICSNGR

Gov. Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State on Tuesday said that he washed dead bodies as a youth to pay his tuition fees while schooling abroad.

Ajimobi said this at a South-West Youths Regional Summit in Osogbo.

The governor, while urging the youth to have a positive mindset toward hard work, said he spent eight years abroad washing dead bodies to survive.

He said his parents only sent him 30 dollars all through his stay abroad, adding that he had to look for a way to survive.

“I left Nigeria in 1963 to study abroad, but throughout my stay there, I was washing dead bodies to support myself to go to school.

“When ever I got home from work, I will be weeping, remembering the number of dead bodies I washed.

“My boss at work then said I should not be afraid or fear, adding that such feeling is normal for first comers.

“He encouraged me to always see those dead bodies as iced fish.

“But against all odds, I survived and that is why I am urging youths to see hard work as the only way to success.

“I am saying this to challenge the youth of our next generation not to give up.

“This is our chance as youths and as Yorubas to come together to chart a successful pathway for the country.’’

Ajimobi, however, urged Yoruba leaders and governors to unite for the progress of the Yoruba race.

Bros, nothing spoil ... no hard feelings at all. To me, a little friendly banter here and there is always a good thing grin

As per Kelechi, I honestly hope and pray that he leaves Leicester even on a loan. It looks like several football clubs are interested in him, based on what I am hearing, but the $25m price tag a little pricey for someone who has scored only 1 goal all season. Right now, it's most likely going to be a loan move. Either way, I want him out Leicester asap.
