Yes his wife started dating his lawyer after his death and they were both assassinated together,his children already scatter all over the world though his first son was from an Asian woman...Truly blood money no good my brother

People should stop misinforming people with half baked information. Ezego's wife did not marry any lawyer she is still living big with her kids in Lekki. The older children are all married now while the younger ones are in the best schools in the world. Bloggers will say anything for traffic but you can still do your personal investigation

Sports / Re: 6 African Players That Had The Most Impact On World Football - by Naptu2 by oxygen247(m): 7:35pm On Jan 01, 2019
naptu2:
6) Didier Drogba

Didier Drogba’s parents sent him to France when he was just 5, to live with his uncle who was a professional footballer. However, he returned to Abidjan 3 years later because he was homesick. He played football every day in a car park in Abidjan.

His time back in Abidjan was short because his parents lost their jobs and he was sent back to France to stay with his uncle again. His parents joined him in France in 1991 and he began playing for youth teams there.

He played for several French clubs including Le Mans and Guingamp before signing for Marseilles in 2003.

Marseilles

[img]http://naijachronicles.files./2018/12/adrogba.jpg?w=584[/img]
Drogba flourished at Marseilles. He scored 19 goals to emerge the 3rd highest scorer in Ligue 1. He also scored 5 goals in the UEFA Champions League and 6 goals in the UEFA Cup. He won the National Union of Professional Footballers’ award for best player of the season and one of his goals was named goal of the season. His goals helped Marseilles to get to the final of the UEFA Cup where they lost to Valencia.

Chelsea
He was signed by Chelsea for £24 million in 2004, thus becoming Chelsea’s record signing. Chelsea’s new manager, Jose Mourinho, wanted to strengthen the squad and this led to the arrival of a lot of new players like Drogba and Mateja Kezman. Chelsea won the league for the first time in 50 years and they also won the 2005 League Cup title.

They played against Liverpool in the final of the Football League Cup and Liverpool scored inside the first minute when John Arne Riise volleyed a Fernando Morientes pass into the Chelsea goal. Scores were level in the 79th minute when Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard headed a Paulo Ferreira free-kick into his own net.

Neither side was able to score another goal before full time and the game went into extra-time. A goal each from Didier Drogba and Mateja Kežman gave Chelsea a 3–1 lead. A minute later Antonio Núñez of Liverpool scored a header to reduce the deficit to 3–2, but Chelsea held on to win the match and the League Cup for the third time.

Drogba also scored in both legs of the Champions League quarter-final as Chelsea defeated Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate. Unfortunately they were defeated by Liverpool in the semi-final. He scored 16 goals in his first season at Chelsea.


Drogba’s good form was evident in the 2005 Community Shield match against Arsenal. He scored in the 8th minute to give Chelsea the lead. He doubled Chelsea’s lead in the 58th minute before Cesc Fabregas scored for Arsenal in the 64th minute. Drogba was given the man of the match award.

Chelsea retained the league title in the 2005/2006 season, becoming only the second club to win back-to-back English titles in the Premier League era. Again Drogba finished with 16 goals for the season, 12 in the Premier League, two in the Community Shield, one in the Champions League and one in the FA Cup. He was also the top assist provider in the league.


2006 World Cup and Nations Cup
Drogba captained Ivory Coast to their 2nd ever Nations Cup final in the 2006 Nations Cup in Egypt. He scored the deciding penalty kick in their quarter-final victory over Cameroon and scored the only goal in their semi-final win over Nigeria. However, they lost the final to Egypt on penalty kicks after Drogba’s penalty was saved by the Egyptian keeper. He was joint 3rd highest goal scorer in the competition.

He also led the Elephants to their first ever World Cup appearance at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Drogba scored Ivory Coast’s first ever World Cup goal in the game against Argentina, but they were knocked out in the group stage (they were in the most difficult group in the tournament).

He was named the African Player of the Year for 2006, ahead of Samuel Eto’o and Michael Essien.

Drogba scored 33 goals in all competitions in the 2006/2007 season, including 20 in the Premier League to win the Golden Boot. He scored a hat-trick against Levski Sofia, scored in Chelsea’s home game against Barcelona and scored two goals away against Barcelona in the group stage of the Champions League as Chelsea topped their group. He also scored in the first leg of the quarter-final tie against Valencia. Chelsea eventually lost to Liverpool in the semi-final of the competition. In his last competitive game that season, he scored the winning goal over Manchester United in the first FA Cup final at the new Wembley Stadium.

He came 4th in the 2007 FIFA World Player of the Year awards.


2008 Champions League
Jose Mourinho left Chelsea at the beginning of the 2007/2008 season and Drogba expressed a desire to leave the club as well. He was not happy that Mourinho left the club. However, he later regretted his comments and stated that he wanted to continue to play for Chelsea.

Drogba and Manchester United player, Nemanja Vidic clashed twice in the English Premier League. Vidic had to have his lip stitched after one of those clashes.

The bad blood spilled over into the 2008 Champions League final, resulting in Didier Drogba being sent off 4 minutes from time for slapping Vidic. Manchester United defeated Chelsea on penalties to win the Champions League.

2008 African Nations Cup
Ivory Coast were drawn in the same group with Nigeria, Mali and Benin in the 2008 Nations Cup. Drogba scored two goals in the group stage, opening the scoring in the 4–1 win over Benin, as well as in the 3–0 win over Mali. In the quarter-finals, Drogba was on the score sheet once again in the 5–0 win over Guinea with the last four goals coming in the final twenty minutes. They played against Egypt in the Semi-final and were beaten 4-1

2009 Champions League semi-final
Chelsea played against Barcelona in the 2009 Champions League semi-final. The match at the Nou Camp ended 0-0. Michael Essien scored after 9 minutes to give Chelsea the lead in the 2nd leg at Stamford Bridge. However, a 93rd minute equaliser by Iniesta ensured that Barcelona went through on the away goals rule. Chelsea’s players were furious. Drogba shouted into the camera that the match was “a fucking disgrace”. Drogba and Bosingwa were consequently banned for their protests after the match.

Drogba again won the African Player of the Year Award in 2009.

Chelsea won the Premier League in the 2009/2010 season with Didier Drogba scoring a hat-trick in an 8–0 win over Wigan Athletic, which helped him to win the Golden Boot award again. Drogba also scored the only goal of the 2010 FA Cup Final, against Portsmouth, from a free-kick.

2010 World Cup and Nations Cup

In the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations Drogba scored one goal in the 3–1 victory against Ghana in the group stage. The Ivory Coast reached the quarter-finals but lost 2–3 to Algeria

Drogba scored six goals in five qualification games to help the Ivory Coast qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. However he was injured before the tournament and he had to wear a protective cast. Drogba was cleared by FIFA to play in the Ivory Coast's first group game against Portugal wearing a protective cast on his broken arm. The match ended in a goalless draw at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium with Drogba coming on in the 65th minute. On 20 June 2010, Drogba became the first player from an African nation to score against Brazil in a World Cup match, scoring with a header in the 78th minute as the Ivory Coast were defeated 1–3. On 25 June 2010, the Ivory Coast went out of the competition despite winning 3–0 against North Korea in their final match.

Drogba became the first player to score in four different FA Cup Finals, as he netted the winner in Chelsea's 2–1 triumph over Liverpool on 5 May, 2012. Drogba also holds the record for most goals scored at the new Wembley Stadium with eight.

2012 Champions League final
Chelsea played against Bayern Munich in the final of the 2012 Champions League. Thomas Muller scored for Bayern in the 83rd minute, but Drogba equalized 5 minutes later. The game went into extra time and then penalties and Drogba scored the last penalty to win the UEFA Champions League for Chelsea.

Drogba left Chelsea at the end of the 2012 season and moved to China. In 2013 he moved to Galatasaray in Turkey and in 2014 he returned to Chelsea on a one year deal. He won the League Cup and the Premiership with Chelsea in the 2014/2015 season.

Drogba saw out his career in North America where he played for Montreal Impact and Phoenix Rising.

Failed to mention that Drogba actually bought Phoenix Rising to be the first player owner of a football club

The 2019 Presidential election isn't about Buhari and Atiku, a supremacy "battle" between Yoruba and Igbo, if you're Yoruba and you're hereshouting Atikulatoor or Obituary, you are not just an idiot, but an omoale. Ask yourself, how many relevant Hausa/Fulani will genuinely support another tribe at the expense of a fellow Fulani, if Jega could have soft skin for Buhari at the detriment of Jonathan who appointed him, or the then National Chairman of PDP Adamu Muazu openly castigated Mrs. Patience Jonathan because she used slur language against her husband's opponent or an IGP Suleiman Abba supported his kinsman at the expense of the man who appointed him, guy are a complete "omoale" to support Obi's PDP against Osinbajo's APC because you feel Atiku will give out free money, let me ask you, what did you do with all the free money you got during Jonathan's regime?
