Roger Federer is one win away from a seventh Wimbledon title after booking his place in a record eighth final by dethroning reigning champion Novak Djokovic.The Swiss, who has 16 grand slam titles in all, was at his very best against a strangely subdued Djokovic under the Centre Court roof.
He forced the Serbian to commit 24 of the type of careless errors that have been absent on a stunning run of form that had seen him win four of the last six majors - Federer three times his victim at the semi-final stage - and wrapped up a 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3 success in two hours and 19 minutes.
Federer will no doubt take extra satisfaction from the win too. Despite his standing as the game's greatest modern-era player, he has been forced to take a back seat to the rivalry between Djokovic and Rafael Nadal over recent years.
That has partly been down to what, by his standards, has been a drought - he last reached the Wimbledon final in 2009 and has not won a grand slam for two and a half years - but also owing to Djokovic's emergence as the game's kingpin.
That balance has been redressed for now, though, with Federer now lying in wait for either Andy Murray or Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and knowing he will replace Djokovic as world number one with a win on Sunday.

akigbemaru: Gay activities are not new in Iboland, in fact it's an aged-old tradition. Charley boy is not just steering any controversy he's just overtly bringing out what has been covertly out there for a long period of time. No wonder they see themselves as Jews of Africa, that might be true, because Jews started these gay activities and passes it to pope in Rome. That's why Ibo people held people in high esteem, he puts their heads under his thing so that they can lick from his sugerlicious chemical. Iboland, despite been just only 25,000km squares out of Nigerian's 912,000 km squares, I still see it as Sodom and gomorrah of Africa (sodomizes and gaymorales litter Iboland).
I wish that little girl was around, Ibo Amadioha, e for dey throw brim-fire and thunder stones to her people for being the banes of Africa.

my Drogba's best moment was the goal he scored against Manchester united in FA cup finals. our own Mikel Obi gave him the pass. it was awesome that day.

and the best of them is the 87th min Header in the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL.

Drogba its sad that you are leaving and we are happy you are leaving.

The recent report by the House of Representatives on fuel subsidy regime, heavily indicted petroleum minister, Dezeani Allison-Madueke, finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and Gombe State Governor, Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo,( who was Accountant General of the Federation between 2005 and 2011).

It revealed how those who championed the removal of fuel subsidy, swore the nation would collapse without it, fleeced Nigeria of over N1 trillion.

Others who allegedly supervised the fleecing of the nation's wealth through fraudulent payments to oil marketers among other scams, are Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Austin Oniwon, former Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), Oluwole Oluleye and the current scribe of the agency, Reginald Stanley.

The report exposed the monumental fraud perpetrated by officials of the finance ministry, NNPC, PPPRA, Budget office, and petroleum ministry. It exposed all the rogue deductions by NNPC, extra budget expenditary expenditures, illegal approval of price differentials (discounts ) to NNPC, fraudulent demurrage payments incurred by NNPC, and all payments PPPRA made to itself.

According to the report, the NNPC, in tandem with the petroleum ministry over deducted N286 Billion from two separate accounts, in excess of the PPPRA recommended figure for 2011. It also illegally got
N311 Billion as subsidy for kerosene contrary to presidential directive of July 29 2009 withdrawing subsidy on the product. Between
2009 and 2011, the NNPC illegally got discounts on crude oil price per barrel, to the tune of N108 Billion

The PPPRA fraudulently paid itself over N312 Billion between 2009 and 2010.

The finance ministry in collaboration with the office of the Accountant General of the Federation, approved foreign exchange payments to marketers who did not import petroleum products.

The report also revealed that Gombe state governor, Dankwambo, as AGF, fraudulently approved the whooping sum of N998 Million, 128 times in twenty four hours, betwenn 12 and 13th January 2009 under the same scam.

The revelations exposed the hypocrisy and crookedness of Okonjo-Iweala, Madueke and Ibe who doggedly defended the reoval of fuel subsidy. The report also brought to the fore the reason why the trio came to the Faruk Lawan hearing with conflicting figures, and why Finance minister minister admitted she nor her officials never attended PPPRA meetings despite the fact she is a member.

Tom Henning Ovrebo, the referee of the controversial Champions League semi-final between Chelsea and Barcelona in 2009, has admitted that he made mistakes in the game that denied the Premier League side a place in the final.
Ovrebo found himself at the centre of a firestorm at Stamford Bridge at the end of the second leg three years ago, having rejected four reasonable penalty claims from the home side - then managed by Guus Hiddink - during the 90 minutes, as they eventually went out to Andres Iniesta's last-minute strike.

The Norwegian official was confronted by Michael Ballack and Didier Drogba even before the final whistle, and subsequently received death threats from a section of irate Chelsea fans. Ovrebo has now revealed that he still receives threatening messages, and has admitted that he did not enforce the laws correctly during the game at Stamford Bridge.

"I still get a few death threats, but they go straight into the garbage box. I don't take them seriously, although sometimes I wonder about the people who send them," Ovrebo told The Times. "Just yesterday I got an email from a Chelsea fan saying he wanted to kill me and my family.

"Everyone who knows the laws of the game knows I should have done things differently, but that's the life of a referee. In a strange way, I was actually satisfied with the way we all managed to keep calm in a tense situation."

He added: "On the pitch I did my best. I shouldn't have to apologise as mistakes are part of the game."

Drogba was subsequently given a five-game ban by UEFA for his outburst at the final whistle, with team-mate Jose Bosingwa given a three-game suspension. Ovrebo feels no ill-will towards the Ivorian, however, after the pair reconciled their differences at the disciplinary hearing.

"It was a very challenging match and with the angry scenes after the final whistle it became less enjoyable," Ovrebo noted. "Some players got too emotional and behaved badly, but no one got killed. It's important to put it into perspective.

"It helped me as a referee ... if I can cope with Drogba screaming at me, I can cope with anything - although he's a nice guy, really."

The Blues have the chance to gain revenge on the Spanish club, as they face them in the Champions League semi-finals again this season. The first leg takes place at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday

Ndi Obiakpo. thank God chelsea. Barca is d best team in the world no doubt abt that. what is football? being able to play well, score goals and defend well.

SEE U ALL IN MUNICH

Nigerian Americans have long been known for their community’s intense cultural emphasis on education, and now an analysis of Census data coupled with several local surveys shows that Nigerians don't just value education, but surpass all other U.S. ethnic groups when it comes to obtaining degrees.

"Being Black, you are already at a disadvantage," Oluyinka Olutoye, an associate professor of pediatric surgery at Baylor College of Medicine, told the Houston Chronicle. "You really need to excel far above if you want to be considered for anything in this country."

According to 2006 census data, 37 percent of Nigerians in the U.S. had bachelor's degrees, 17 percent held master's degrees and 4 percent had doctorates. In contrast, the same census data showed only 19 percent of white Americans had bachelor’s degrees, 8 percent held master’s degrees and only 1 percent held doctorates, the paper reports.

The census data was bolstered by an independent analysis of 13 annual Houston-area surveys conducted by Rice University and commissioned by the Chronicle.

"These are higher levels of educational attainment than were found in any other...community," Stephen Klineberg, a sociologist at Rice University who conducts the annual Houston Area Survey, told the paper.
