Being the highest paid Nigerian footballer, one would be wondering what kind of girl Kelechi Iheanacho would want to date.

Every notable Super Eagles player likes to move with women who can represent his personality in the world of show business, and the Manchester City striker is no different.

Although Iheanacho is yet to make the identity of his girl friend public, the fact is that whoever the 19-year-old is dating will most likely fall into the category of a popular personality in the society.

Here are the four classes of girls Iheanacho might likely date

1. An actress

Just like Super Eagles striker Ike Uche and Nollywood actress Uche Jombo dated for a while, the young lad might be weighing his options in casting his net into the sea of Nigerian movie industry babes, especially this era where celebrities find it interesting dating each other.

2. A billionaire’s daughter

Success. they say, has many parents, that is why everyone will like to associate with it. So if he is considering marriage, a wealthy man’s daughter is one of the top options that comes to mind.

Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi is dating Olga Diyachenko, the daughter of a Russian billionaire and Iheanacho might looking the way of Dj Cuppy, Femi Otedola’s daughter.

3. A beauty queen

Iheanacho could also follow the lead of former Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo who put the ring on the finger of former Miss Nigeria Adaeze Yobo and both have blossomed ever since.

As a youngster, the beauty queens in Nigeria will never say no to a player of Iheancho status in the footballing world.

4. A baby Mama

Not many footballers might like the idea of getting married but could fancy the possibility of having a baby mama who would do anything for them to carry their baby.


Obafemi Martins and his baby mama

Mario Balotelli’s sister had a fling with Super Eagles striker Obafemi Martins and they had a child together. Iheanacho might think there is no sin in putting another footballer’s sister in the family way.

Manchester United Transfer News: Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Matteo Darmian Rumours

Matthew Ashton - AMA/Getty Images

Zlatan Ibrahimovic turned down the chance to earn a staggering €100 million (£86.6 million) playing in China to sign for Manchester United, according to his agent Mino Raiola.

The veteran forward joined the Red Devils on a free transfer in the summer after his contract expired with Paris Saint-Germain, and he’s enjoyed an impressive start to life at Old Trafford. Given his talent, it’s no surprise Ibrahimovic had other options, although Raiola has revealed just how lucrative they were.

“Ibrahimovic is the best,” the agent told Il Giornale (h/t Goal). “He turned down €100 million net from the Chinese! He doesn’t want more money, he wants to win.”

Winning has come easy for Ibrahimovic in his career, having lifted league titles in France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. Despite his advancing years, there are signs he will have a similarly talismanic impact at his new club.

Indeed, already the centre-forward has made some key contributions. Per Squawka Football, he’s United’s top goalscorer this term:

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has now scored 6 goals this season, more than any other Man Utd player. pic.twitter.com/bBxKOJOoFz

— Squawka Football (@Squawka) September 29, 2016

Ibrahimovic has brought more to the Red Devils than his goal return too. It’s been a long time since United could call on a striker with his kind of physicality, as the Swede can pin defenders, win aerial battles and muscle his way into dangerous positions.

What’s always been the main strength of Ibrahimovic is the manner in which he marries that power with technical flair. Again, that’s a trait that’s brought something refreshing to the United attack. Per ESPN’s Alex Shaw, there’s an authority about the 34-year-old:

My favourite part from that game was when Zlatan basically told Pogba and Rooney to piss off away from that free kick.

— Alex Shaw (@AlexShawESPN) September 29, 2016

For a lot of players, this point in their career would be ideal to move to another continent, rake in some money and slowly wind down their playing days. By contrast, Ibrahimovic has shown he still has so much to offer at the highest level, and it’s a testament to his longevity he remains such a massive threat.

United may be a little off the pace in their pursuit of the Premier League title already, but with a winner like Ibrahimovic leading the line, the Red Devils will surely be in the mix come the end of the campaign.

Inter Milan Favourites for Matteo Darmian




Catherine Ivill - AMA/Getty Images

According to Calcio Mercato (h/t Lucas Sposito of Sport Witness), Inter Milan lead the race to secure the signing of Matteo Darmian from Manchester United in January.

It’s suggested that while the likes of Juventus and Roma were looking at recruiting the versatile defender during the summer, the Nerazzurri are the only side keen on a deal midseason.

Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Football Italia) has stated Inter are very close to getting the deal done. A loan move with an obligation to purchase has been mooted. The player is also said to be interested in making the switch to Milan.

Darmian has fallen out of favour since manager Jose Mourinho was appointed at Old Trafford. As noted by Rob Dawson of the Manchester Evening News, even when the boss has sought to rotate his squad, Darmian has struggled to get a look in:

Not looking good for Darmian. Trained as normal yesterday but not in the squad tonight. Valencia rested but Fosu-Mensah at right back.

— Rob Dawson (@RobDawsonMEN) September 29, 2016

That’s a shame for a player who enjoyed a fine start to his United career. Darmian blossomed early in the 2015-16 season, although the momentum he built up was sapped by injury issues.

A return to Serie A would seem sensible. Darmian excelled in the division previously with Torino and would be an upgrade to the options currently available to manager Frank de Boer at the San Siro.

At his latest press conference, Arsene Wenger handed out specially made pens to commemorate his 20 years with Arsenal. He quipped that he was giving them out on the promise that the assembled journalists would write positive things about the Gunners. However, the real question is whether Wenger will put pen to paper and sign a new deal to extends his reign beyond two decades.

The discussion has particular pertinence at the moment because of a certain vacancy in Soho Square. Sam Allardyce’s departure from the England set-up has led to Arsene Wenger being linked with the international job once again. Asked about his potential interest in the role, he told Arsenal.com: "Right now my priority is to do well here. This has always been my club and if I am free one day, why not? But I’m focused on my job right now."

It’s unlike Wenger to entertain an idea so openly. Is it possible that he could allow Gareth Southgate to operate as a caretaker boss for the remainder of the season, then take up the England job at the end of his Arsenal contract in 2017?

Wenger signed his last deal in 2014, off the back of Arsenal’s FA Cup triumph. It had been a tumultuous campaign—at one stage, the team was just minutes away from being eliminated in the cup semi-final to championship side Wigan. Had Arsenal fallen at that hurdle, Wenger would surely have been forced to abdicate. Instead, Per Mertesacker grabbed a late equaliser, Arsenal won the semi and later the trophy, and the manager’s time at the helm continued.

Arsene Wenger's FA Cup triumph in 2014 paved the way for him to stay.

In truth, it’s been an up-and-down period even since then. 2015 brought another FA Cup and 2016 the club’s highest Premier League finish for over a decade. However, there have also been low points. Criticisms have been voiced and placards have been raised. At times last season there was clear dissent towards Wenger from an increasingly disgruntled fanbase. On certain occasions, it’s even been unclear whether or not the players have still felt motivated to give their best.

Surviving at any club for 20 years is a remarkable achievement, and consistency has been the hallmark of Wenger’s reign. He has never allowed the club to drop out of the back four, and has seen off several challenges for north London supremacy from neighbours Tottenham.

However, Wenger must feel a pang of regret that he has not been able to capture the league title since 2004. Arsenal have been more stable than successful, and there have been times when Wenger’s club has felt somewhat stale. Wenger has an impressive capacity to continually evolve his team, but ultimately he is still the same man that arrived in north London in 1996. The ingenuity of his methods has waned somewhat with time. It’s understandable that, after such a long time in charge, people are wondering whether this season could be Wenger’s last.

We probably won’t know for sure for some time. In this latter portion of his Arsenal career, Wenger has tended to allow his contracts to run later and later before signing an extension. Back in 2014, no clarity emerged until after the FA Cup Final.

Wenger was asked recently whether or not he thinks he could last another five years at the helm. While he couldn’t provide a definitive answer, he suggested to Arsenal.com that staying on is still a very realistic possibility:

I don’t know [if I’ll get to 25 years]. I think I have one quality which is a passion for the game, and another quality is that I always have the desire to be better tomorrow than I was yesterday. If I look back, the way I manage today is not the same as it was five, 10, or 20 years ago. How long can I do? I don’t know.

I rule nothing out because I want to work and I want to do well. I accept that it can finish tomorrow as well. It’s a love story and you always expect a love story to last forever, but it can always stop suddenly.

What will influence me the most is the fact that I feel I do well and can move this team forward.

The likelihood is surely that he’ll decide to stay. There’s certainly no internal pressure from within the club for him to call time on his career—the board are enamoured with the way he balances economic stability with competitive consistency. Replacing him is not a task that chief executive Ivan Gazidis will be approaching with any relish.

Arsene Wenger with Lee Dixon in his Arsenal days.

For all Wenger’s platitudes about the England position, he would be foolish to take on such a poisoned chalice. At the tail end of his career, does he really want the scrutiny that job would bring? What’s more, taking on an international position would mean sacrificing day-to-day coaching. That seems unlikely for a man who loves being out on the training ground with his players. Wenger’s former charge, Lee Dixon, told ITV Sport (h/t The Independent):

Whenever he's spoken about it to me or when I've been in his company, he's always said that international management is not for him right now, and that's gone right up until this point.

Knowing him, he likes to be involved in the day to day basis with the game… whether international football fits that bill I'm not sure.

Crucially, Wenger may also sense that he is making progress with this Arsenal team. After a difficult start against Liverpool on the opening day, the Gunners have remained unbeaten in 2016/17. They’re scoring goals and appear to have rediscovered the spark that once placed Wenger’s teams among the most attractive in world football.

This summer, Arsenal spent big to land the likes of Granit Xhaka, Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez. After years of forced frugality, Wenger now has the financial firepower to compete with almost anyone.

For everything Wenger has achieved, he still has unfinished business with Arsenal. He would dearly love to win a fourth Premier League title, and yearns to finally lift the Champions League. As Arsenal edge closer to those goals, Wenger will surely be unable to walk away.

If he can achieve one of those goals this season, it’s possible that he’ll decide to walk away on top. However, knowing his voracious appetite for football it’s just as likely he’ll stay on. No job, including the title of England manager, is going to tempt him away from his footballing home. Retirement will also have to wait.

If Wenger has proven anything over these 20 years, it’s that he has tremendous staying power. Expect him to endure a little longer.

Arsenal Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Marco Reus and Kylian Mbappe

Michael Sohn/Associated Press

Arsenal could reportedly try to sign Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus if Mesut Ozil leaves the club.

According to Claudio Colla of TransferMarketWeb.com, Ozil could be set to move on depending on the Gunners' success this season and Reus is the player on manager Arsene Wenger's wishlist who could replace him, as the Frenchman has not "given up dreaming" of recruiting Reus.

Per German outlet Bild (via Jack Rathborn of ESPN FC), Arsenal are attempting to tie Ozil down on a new deal, but if his contract demands aren't met, the playmaker could return to Real Madrid.

Would Reus be a good replacement for Ozil?

Would Reus be a good replacement for Ozil?

Yes, he's a top-class player.

No, he's not as good as Ozil.

Total votes: 0

The German is an incredibly important player to Arsenal—arguably their best—but bringing in Reus to replace him would undoubtedly soften the blow should he leave.

Reus is a versatile operator who thrives in wide positions but is equally capable of playing as a No. 10 or even up front if needed.

The 27-year-old is more prolific than Ozil and creative to boot, though perhaps not quite as much as his compatriot—he netted 23 goals in all competitions last year compared with Ozil's eight, while the Arsenal man provided 20 assists compared with Reus' eight.

You can see each and every goal from last season here:


As the video demonstrates, Reus is an excellent finisher who thrives thanks to his intelligent movement, pace and ability to score with both feet.

WhoScored.com revealed the impressive extent of his creativity:

Marco Reus: Only Franck Ribéry (55) has created more clear-cut chances in the last 5 Bundesliga seasons than @woodyinho (54)

— WhoScored.com (@WhoScored) May 31, 2016

BVB have seen a number of big stars leave in recent years—Robert Lewandowski, Mario Gotze (now back with Dortmund), Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Mats Hummels all moved on—and while Reus has resisted any temptation to leave thus far, there's precedent at the club.

He wouldn't come cheap and would likely attract interest from elsewhere, but he'd be a fine candidate to replace Ozil.




Lionel Cironneau/Associated Press

Meanwhile, according to Calciomercato (h/t TalkSport), Arsenal are interested in snapping up Monaco starlet Kylian Mbappe, who "has been likened to [Gunners legend] Thierry Henry" as well as scouted by Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The 17-year-old broke into the fringes of the first team last season and netted his first goal for the club as a substitute in the 3-1 win over Troyes in February.

He also provided two assists, one of which came against the Gunners' bitter rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, in the UEFA Europa League.

That Mbappe has already caught the attention of some of Europe's elite clubs says much about his potential, though he may be best served staying put for the time being to focus on his development.

Growing up, i had always wanted financial freedom and independence without having to work under any man by being my own boss so i can spend quality time with my family travelling around the world while running my online business.

“if you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die” – Warren Buffett.

I must confess i had tried other methods online on how to make money but all failed and the few ones that would have worked greatly were not allowed in my home country(Nigeria). This got me frustrated as a kid wanting to make money online but like kanu nwankwo i was determined to never give up so i work harder to make it.

“The biggest risk is not taking any risk…In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks” – Mark Zuckerberg.

The thought of starting an online business and turning it into a profitable company that provides you with both financial freedom and independence, is appealing to many. Some want to be able to be their own boss, others want to be able to spend more time with their family, and many want to be able to travel the world while they run their online business.

When I started out, I had no money to invest, so quickly had to learn how to make money from nothing. This was one of the first methods that worked for me, and I've been using it ever since as my various online businesses have grown. I started with around 15,000.
(Disclaimer: this is not a get rich quick system, your input determines your output).


A lot of people assume that they can't make money online because they don't know how to build websites or rank websites. Well, if you have always wanted to test the online marketing waters but didn't know where to start, you are in luck. This is something that can be done by someone without any skill.

This method im about to show you require:

1. Little or no technical knowledge (me when I started)
2. No coding or SEO knowledge (me when I started)
3. No experience with running a website before (me when I started)
4. Around N15,000 in start up cash (you could invest more or less but this is what I recommend)

Never conclude you cant make money online because you dont know how to build websites. Many at times your simplest ideas will produce the biggest returns, and this is a prime example of how you can take a simple idea and grow it into a profitable online business. No tricks, just hard work.

Here is what you need to do:

1) Identify a good niche

The first thing you need to do is identify a niche, Many people get overwhelmed and they put off taking action through fear of choosing the wrong niche.
Choose something you have a passion for and start now!

"A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week." ~ General George S. Patton

"The path to success is to take massive, determined action." ~ Tony Robbins

"Action is the foundational key to all success." ~ Pablo Picasso


2) Build your website

- Choose a domain name

- If you do not already have hosting, my friends at [url=nairamini.com] nairamini.com [/url] will help you with a good 1 year free hosting if you get domain name through them. They have affiliations with alot of the top web hosting companies in the world.

- Pick a premium theme for Wordpress on [url=themeforest.com] themeforest [/url]. If you use nairamini.com they can set that for you too for free.


3) Promote your website

There are lots of ideas in this thread but a simple way to get started is using a simple Google search:

Google Search Tools (100% Free)

When I first started this method I was using Google Alerts as a semi-automated (and free) solution, but there is a more efficient method to utilize in 2015 (thanks to Gordon for the tip!). Here's how to do this with Google search alone.

Go to Google and search for your keyword. If your keyword is a phrase, put it in quotation marks.
Click on "Search Tools" under the search box.
Change "Any Time" to "Past 24 Hours"
Change "Sorted by relevance" to "Sorted by date" to get the most recent results first.

If you want to search Facebook posts, or any other site, you can also do this on Google by entering the following and changing the time and sort as above:

Searching for: "your keyword" site:facebook.com

Find relevant places that are talking about the niche you are in and add valuable comments. If you are adding value, link to your posts directly.

4) Make Money

Here is the ultimate reason you started this method. Now is the time to apply for google adsense, affiliates, CPA, CPC, CPM etc. The nairamini team will be glad to help you set this up for free incase you encountered any problem while setting it up.

5) Continue to build other traffic sources and you will start to rank in Google

The beauty of this method is that it doesn't rely on SEO but just by setting up a website and creating content, your posts (and even forum threads/blog posts you've commented on) will start to rank in Google and receive organic search traffic. Not only can you rank the individual posts, but you can also create additional posts based on long tail keywords and then direct that traffic to the specific review page. Learning SEO is just one of many ways to attract your first website visitors for free. Using Google and BuzzBundle is the easiest way to start producing highly qualified traffic as well as sales. You can then scale up by outsourcing that work and focusing on creating additional organic traffic sources through search engine optimization later on.

To conclude:

Creating a website and scaling it to a six figure per year online business is a very achievable task as long as you know the proper steps to take and don't give up. This method allows you to build a business that produces residual income and starts to produce revenue almost instantly. You don't have to wait months for expensive search engine optimization to kick in -- and you don't have to worry about Google rankings and avoiding penalties and algorithm changes. In fact, you don't have to rely on ranking in Google at all to be successful with this method!

FAQs

Q) How long until I start to make money? A) Usually within 2 weeks of consistent posting and commenting you should start seeing traffic and hopefully sales
Q) I can't afford hosting A) use the contact form on nairamini.com to get almost free
Q) How much can I make? A) Many people make $10-100/day. Others make more or less
