SportsChelsea Fly Mikel To Lagos By Private Jet For A.P.O.Y Ceremony. by knick(op): 11:55pm On Jan 09, 2014
CHELSEA have flown Super Eagles midfielder Mikel Obi to Lagos in the club's private jet to enable him
participate in the Confederation of African Football's (Caf) annual awards in which he has been shortlisted
in the player of the year category.
Due to his good form during the course of 2013 for club and country that resulted in Nigeria winning the
African Cup of Nations, Mikel is one of three players listed for the Caf African Player of the Year award.
Along with Ivorians Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba, Mikel is regarded as one of Africa's best three players
last year.
Tonight, at a glitzy ceremony in Lagos, the winner of the award will be announced and with Mikel having
to be present, Chelsea have opted to fly him out there in the club's private jet and return him to London
immediately after the ceremony. Given that Nigeria won the African Cup of Nations last year, Mikel is
highly tipped to pick up the award this year.
Mikel said: "I am coming for the Caf awards. I will be flown in and out of Nigeria by the Chelsea jet,
arriving on the awards day and returning immediately after.
"It is an honour to be selected and nominated for the award. I am looking forward to winning it for my
country."
Mikel's brothers Patrick Obi and Ebele Obi, who is a goalkeeper with Nigerian Premier League side
Heartlands, will accompany him to the event. Nigeria's Sunday Mba has also been shortlisted in the
African Footballer of the Year for players based in Africa award category.
Also in the running for an accolade is Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi who has been shortlisted for the
Coach of the Year award, as is Golden Eaglets coach Manu Garba, who won the U17 World Cup last year.
Nigeria's Super Eagles have also been shortlisted in the National Team of the Year category, while the
Golden Eaglets have been nominated for the Youth National Team of the Year.
Golden Eaglets playmaker Kelechi Iheanacho has also been listed in the Most Promising Talent category,
while the Nigerian Supporters Club is up for the Fair Play Award. A Nigerian last won the African Player of
the Year in 199 when Nwankwo Kanu picked up the award.

SportsVictor Moses Liverpool Loan Deal Should Be Terminated Says Former Club Striker. by knick(op): 3:22pm On Jan 08, 2014
FORMER Liverpool legend John Aldridge has warned Super Eagles winger Victor Moses to get his act
together of face the prospect of having his loan deal with the club terminated and sent packing.
Moses, 23, joined Liverpool on a season-long loan deal in September and it had been expected that he
would become another Anfield wonder. However, since arriving from Chelsea, Moses has featured very little
for Liverpool despite the club's spate of injuries and when his does play, his performance has been
questionable.
Last Sunday, Moses had another terrible outing during an FA Cup tie against Oldham which Liverpool won
2-0. Putting in what was seen as a lethargic and non-committal performance, Liverpool's manager
Brendan Rodgers substituted Moses at half time.
Writing in the Liverpool Echo, former Reds striker John Aldridge said he believes that Moses needs to
improve his attitude or risk having his loan-deal terminated and sent back to Chelsea. Using his column at
the newspaper to air his views, Mr Aldridge said he feels that Moses may be taking his stay at Liverpool
for granted.
Singling out Moses’ performance against Oldham Athletic on Sunday, Mr Aldridge said the player showed
no heart and passion on the pitch. He added: "Victor Moses was handed a big opportunity when Brendan
Rodgers brought him to Liverpool FC from Chelsea last summer as not many players get the chance to go
out on loan to a bigger club but I don’t think he realises how lucky he is.
“The Nigeria international could have no complaints about being hauled off at half-time of Sunday’s 2-0
win over Oldham. He looked completely disinterested in that opening 45 minutes and gave the manager
little option.
“There was no desire, no spirit. Maybe he’s lacking a bit of confidence or maybe he’s just unhappy
because he’s played so little recently."
According to Mr Aldridge, Moses did not appear to be in the right frame of mind and it might have been
an error to invite him to the club. He added that if Moses wants to stay at Liverpool until the end of the
season then he needs to buck his ideas up.
Mr Aldridge added: “When Moses arrived I thought he would be a decent acquisition as he did very well for
Wigan and did okay during his first year at Chelsea. He talked about wanting to nail down a place at
Anfield but to achieve that you need to deliver on the pitch and he hasn’t done that.
“Hindsight is a great thing but we would have been better off keeping Oussama Assaidi and not signing
Moses. Assaidi has contributed a lot more for Stoke during his loan spell than Moses has for us"
Adding that Moses has let himself down since joining Liverpool, Mr Aldridge said it might be an idea to see
if Chelsea will take the player back. He added he feels so strongly about the Moses issue that he thinks
Liverpool should investigate the possibility of trying to cancel the loan deal.
“I don’t know whether Chelsea would agree to take him back as they’ve got a big squad but it might be in
everyone’s best interests if the loan is cancelled. He has let himself down,” Mr Aldridge added.
Moses is a vital member of Nigeria's Super Eagles squad and is certain to feature in the World Cup later
this summer. However, he needs to get regular action be in good shape for the tournament.
SportsNigerian Kenneth Omeruo On Loan To Middlesbrough Until The End Of The Season. by knick(op): 10:31am On Jan 08, 2014
Middlesbrough have confirmed the arrival of the Chelsea's Nigerian international defender Kenneth Omeruo on loan until the end of the season.
Boro boss Aitor Karanka confirmed after Saturday's FA Cup loss to Hall City that he was closing in on Omeruo, and now he has finalized a deal.
The 20-year-old, who can play at center-back, is yet to make his debut for Chelsea but he has 14 caps for Nigeria.
"Kenneth is a strong defender and I think we need to improve in this area," said Karanka.
"I know him Jose (Mourinho) and has told me about him and I think he's going to be very good for us to
add to the squad."
Omeruo is now set to go straight into Boro's squad for this weekend's clash at Blackpool.

SportsBalotelli Could Join Chelsea Says AGENT. by knick(op): 5:45pm On Oct 29, 2013
Mario Balotelli’s agent has opened the door to a potential reunion with Jose Mourinho at Chelsea.

The AC Milan striker has been making waves in Serie A and has recently returned from a three-match ban
for making insulting and intimidating comments towards a referee.
The latest controversy has once again raised questions over Balotelli’s future, and his agent, Mino Raiola,
has indicated Stamford Bridge could be a viable destination for the Italia, who previously enjoyed a
successful relationship with Mourinho at Inter Milan.
‘Balotelli and [Chelsea boss] Jose Mourinho could be reunited because they know each other and they
didn’t leave each other with hate,’ Raiola told Tiki Taka on Italia 1.
‘There was a not very nice incident between them, but they parted company on good terms.
‘They have remained in contact and there is mutual respect.
‘I know Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani will not agree, but Mario is a great striker. That is for certain
and he could perhaps be that at Chelsea.’
Raiola’s snipe at Galliani comes after the Milan chief dismissed comments from the agent that Balotelli
would not see out his career at the San Siro.
The former Manchester City striker is contracted to Milan until 2017.

BBM for Android launch not on schedule; BlackBerry keeps users waiting
IBNLive.com | 21-Sep-2013 17:53 PM
Update: The official BBM Twitter ID tries to liven up Android users eagerly waiting for their app. "Hey, at
least waiting at home is better than waiting in line. wink #Android #BBM4ALL," @BBM tweeted. Meanwhile,
the iPhone version of the BBM app is available for users in New Zealand.
New Delhi: It has been more than an hour since the scheduled time announced by BlackBerry for its much-
awaited arrival on Android phones, but the original BBM is nowhere to be seen yet on the Google Play
Store already flooded with fake BBM apps.
The only acknowledgement on the part of BlackBerry regarding the delay is a tweet from the official
BlackBerry Messenger account (@BBM) that says, "Love the enthusiasm. Still on the way - hold tight!
#BBM4ALL"
BBM for Android was scheduled to arrive on the Google Play Store at 4:30 PM IST (7 AM EDT) today, to
be followed by BBM for iPhones running iOS 6 and iOS 7 at 12:01 AM local time on September 22.
The BBM launch is one of the most eagerly awaited app launches ever.
BBM for Android will be available as a free download for Android smartphones running Ice Cream Sandwich
and Jelly Bean (Android 4.x).
