yes of course we can and that's if we can win at home to sudan, win away at Congo and win at home to south Africa. that makes it 9points from 3 matches with the one point we have already, that makes it 10points.....so I think we have a good chance and maybe not so good I must confess but with the right approach to each game and with the right tactics we will qualify even if it comes to worst, we will qualify as the only 3rd best with 10points

Tiwa Savage Divorced Tee Billz over Violence and
Money Wastage – There are news making rounds
of the divorce between Tiwa Savage and Tee Billz .
Our reports shows that Tiwa Savage and husband
Tee Billz are currently having marital crisis just few
months into their memorable union that saw the
gathering of stars both within and outside the nation
even as they took their honeymoon event outside
the states.
Well, as we speak, Tiwa Savage divorced rumors
are impending as close relations to the duo have
disclosed that Tiwa has sacked husband Billz as
manager even as she already employed another
manager to manage all her booking and
appointments which used to be the work of her
hubby.
Tee Billz (Olatunji Balogun) was reportedly fired by
Tiwa for mismanagement of her financial portfolios
which has also left a dent in the home as both are
now seen fighting and against each other once it
comes to the family aspects of the home.
Unconfirmed sources also unveiled that the funds
generated by Tiwa savage’s clings with Mavin
Records is been used to service former wife and
kids left in London by Billz.
It’s a matter of “Baboon dey work, monkey dey
chop” says Tiwa Savage.
The duos also have been avoiding mentioning each
other’s name as they used to do before on social
networks. Activities on both twitter handler also
shows a distance in relationship between the two
which also shows that all is not well with the union.
Tiwa Savage who notified her interest in running the
2015 Presidential Election is also referred to as the
First Lady of Mavin Records and she has come to
be one of the best Female Musicians in Nigeria
under the label of Don Jazzy after the defaulted Mo
Hits record in collaboration with D’banj last year.
We just hope Tiwa Savage and Tee Billz will batch
things up quick and save the union of an early
divorce.

PoliticsGov Fayemi Declares Curfew In Ekiti State. by Mcweber(op): 2:04pm On Sep 26, 2014
The Ekiti State Governor, Mr Kayode Fayemi, has
declared a 7:00pm to 7:00am curfew in the state
after thugs on Friday took to the streets burning
houses and looting.
Friday’s violence followed the killing of a former
Ekiti State chairman of the National Union of Road
Transport Workers (NURTW), Omolafe Aderiye, who
was killed in his office in Ijigbo area of the state
capital, Ado-Ekiti.
Reports said that Mr Aderiye was shot at close
range in his office .
He is reported to have died before medical attention
could get to him.
The former NURTW chairman was believed to be a
staunch supporter of the governor-elect, Mr Ayo
Fayose and took active part in his campaign
coordination.
Earlier on Thursday, the inaugural sitting of Ekiti
State election petition tribunal in Ado Ekiti was on
Thursday disrupted as the meeting was invaded by
some thugs, who beat up a judge, Justice John
Adeyeye, and prevented journalists from performing
their duties.
The tribunal was to begin proceedings on the
petition filed by the All Progressives Congress (APC)
challenging the victory of the People’s Democratic
Party (PDP) candidate, Ayodele Fayose, before the
thugs intercepted the process.
The tribunal panel, headed by Justice Mohammed
Suraju, resumed the first inaugural sitting with the
counsel to the petitioners led by Rotimi Akeredolu.
The sitting was, however, adjourned to October 14,
2014 following the debacle.
It took the intervention of the State Police
Commissioner, Taiwo Lakanu, to rescue the
chairman of the panel and his team from the court.
The Commissioner of Police has given assurances
of the safety of the judges and smooth tribunal
proceedings.
The Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Ibrahim
Muhammad Siraj, has advised all counsels to warn
their clients to allow them do their job.

FoodFernando Altamirano's Most Expensive Bottle Ofwater For $60000 by Mcweber(op): 7:03am On Sep 17, 2014
Honestly, this is the most expensive bottled water
that we've come across and its ridiculously and
insanely priced at $60k per 750 ML. The water is
sourced from France or Fiji and contains 5
milligrams of gold dust. Given an impressive name
of Acqua di Cristallo Tributo a Modigliani, this
bottled water is made of solid gold that weighs 24
karats. Designed by Fernando Altamirano of Tequila
Ley fame, this bottled water also comes in gold
matte, silver, silver matte, crystal and a few other
combinations. Given the price tag, would you buy it?
Perhaps when you become a billionaire.

SportsWhy Is Nigeria The World's toughest League In Which To get An Away Win? by Mcweber(op): 1:58pm On Aug 23, 2014
Notice anything curious about the league table
below? It shows the final standings of the
Nigeria Premier League, which finished last
week. Kano Pillars became the first club in a
decade to win back-to-back titles but look
beyond that and ask yourself this: have you
ever seen a starker difference between home
and away results? The final 2013 Nigerian league table, showing
home wins and away wins highlighted in grey.
Photograph: Fifa
Ten of the league's 20 teams went through the
whole season unbeaten at home, while no team
won more than three away matches in the
entire campaign. The runners-up, Enyimba, did
not even concede a goal at home, winning 17
and drawing two of their 19 home games while
winning just once away. The disparity between
Gombe United's home and away form is even
more striking: they managed to win 18 and
draw one of their 19 home games, scoring an
average of more than two goals per game, but
away they lost every match, managing a grand
total of four goals in 19 games. What is going
on?
Enyimba's sweep of home clean sheets is
unprecedented but the overall trend of home
invincibility and away vulnerability is not new
in the NPL, where travelling teams face
perilous challenges relating to violent crowds,
questionable refereeing and, indeed, travel
itself. Arriving just before kick-off after long
road trips, often on hazardous surfaces, is far
from ideal preparation for players. And they
do not always arrive. Last season two matches
were postponed when first Sunshine Stars and
then Wikki Tourists were robbed on their way
to games. Mostly, of course, teams do make it
to grounds – and that is when they must
contend with fans and referees.
Referees must contend with fans too – for the
men in the middle being beaten up is not so
much a risk of the job as an inevitability. Wikki
Tourists and Kwara United both had results
overturned this season after particularly
vicious attacks on officials at the grounds,
while Enugu Rangers were ordered to play six
matches behind closed doors for similar
reasons. Those punishments were imposed
after referees threatened a boycott and
demanded bodyguards, though the officials
relented after discussions with the League
Management Company (LMC), which was set up
last year to bring order to a league where
violence, corruption and legal disputes
between clubs are obscuring the performances
of highly-talented, low-paid players (eight of
the 23 Super Eagles that Stephen Keshi took to
the summer's Confederations Cup play in the
NPL).
Lack of funding constrains the LMC's ability to
help referees in one crucial way: officials do
not receive salaries from the league, rather
they get "indemnities" that are paid before
each match by the home team. At least, that is
how the arrangement is supposed to work but
referees complain that some clubs try to make
payment performance-related. It is now
common for away teams to seek to ensure
balance before a game by offering to cover
referees' indemnities too. "Sometimes the
quality of refereeing can come down to which
team offered the most generous expenses," a
club official who did not wish to be named told
the Guardian.
Even when referees are determined not to be
influenced by payments, they must show even
greater fortitude to ignore the demands of
certain crowds. And even if they do, that is still
no guarantee that the home mob will not get
their way. "There was an infamous case several
years ago when a referee, Dogo Yabilsu,
awarded a penalty to Sharks at Kwara United
and fans invaded the pitch," recalls the
Nigerian editor of kickoffnigeria.com Colin
Udoh. "Yabilsu was a colonel in the army and
he took out his service pistol and chased the
fans off. But Sharks were still afraid of what
would happen if they scored so their player
deliberately missed the spotkick."
Dolphins' players were equally intimidated at
Kano Pillars a couple of seasons ago – so when
the home side were awarded a late penalty
several of them pleaded with their goalkeeper,
Sunday Rotimi, a former international
renowned for his penalty-saving prowess, to
dive the wrong way, which he duly did.
Football does not, of course, exist in isolation.
The sport is affected by problems that bedevil
the country in general. That is true for
corruption and funding difficulties, and also
when it comes to political strife. Accordingly,
north-east Nigeria, where the Boko Haram
Islamist jihadist group operates, is an especially
daunting away assignment – and not just
because of the fear of being caught up in
incidents such as the bomb attack that forced
the postponement of last season's clash
between Kano Pillars and Enyimba.
Supersport, the television company with the
NPL screening rights, considers the region too
volatile to send cameras to the home matches
of sides such as Kano Pillars, El-Kanemi
Warriors and Gombe United; and rival clubs
claim that one of the reasons that none of those
sides lost at home this season is because the
absence of footage allows them and referees to
get away with particularly outrageous abuses.
Northern clubs retort that their rivals are
merely inventing excuses. It is never easy to
know who to believe, a fact that the LMC
discovered last month when the potential title-
decider between Kano Pillars and Enyimba was
abandoned following a pitch invasion. Enyimba
refused to play on, claiming their players
feared for their lives, but Pillars officials
protested that their fans had simply been
"jubilating" after their team scored a goal and
pointed out that the pitch was cleared in under
90 seconds, the threshold at which a points
deduction becomes mandatory.
The referees' report suggested officials felt the
atmosphere was not safe for play to continue,
but Pillars, who had been filming the match
themselves, produced footage that appeared to
show the referee trying to convince Enyimba
players to come back on to the pitch.
Not knowing what to conclude, the LMC
ordered the match to be replayed at a neutral
venue. Pillars took a giant step to the title by
winning 1-0, a "home" victory for which the
club rewarded their players with the bonus
they normally get for away wins – 40,000 Naira
(about £155) – one of just three times all
season that the champions earned that bounty.
