Chelsea boss, Maurizio Sarri has said that his father is the only person who can make him quit smoking cigarettes. According to him, his father Amerigo is the only one who can wobble his convictions.

“When my father (Amerigo) learned I had this offer from Chelsea, he told me to go to London, that it was the right thing to do,” Sarri told Il Mattino.

“He did ask me to stop smoking at least while I’m here.

“He is the only one who for five minutes can make me wobble in my convictions,” he said.

Since making a move from Napoli to Chelsea, Sarri has stopped smoking in the stadium during games due to a rule against such in England.

Chelsea has however built a booth in Stamford Bridge for the Italian to do his thing whenever his team has a home game.

Politics / What’ll Happen If Buhari Refuses To Handover Power After Defeat – Atiku by WotzupNG: 3:10pm On Sep 06, 2018
Former vice president of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has revealed what will happen if President Muhammadu Buhari refuses to leave office should he get defeated in 2019.

The presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said the President will have no choice than to step aside if he gets defeated.

Atiku who last year decamped from the All Progressives Congress, said any refusal by the president to step aside and handover power peacefully will plunge the country into political crisis.

Speaking on a short interview on Pulse TV, the ex-Vice President said, “Buhari will have to leave power if he is voted out unless he wants to plunge this country into political crisis and I don’t believe he’ll want to do that.

“But so far, he has done badly as far as electoral processes are concerned because there have been serious breeches of fundamental electoral processes.

“I felt there was a need for someone like me who’s experienced in politics; experienced in governance; experience in business to try and restore and bring back the country on track as far as economic development was concerned.”

Sports / Real Madrid To Swap Marcelo For Alex Sandro Of Juventus by WotzupNG: 1:24pm On Sep 04, 2018
Spanish giant, Real Madrid will likely swap Marcelo for Juventus left-back Alex Sandro in the January transfer window.

According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, Marcelo has a questionable relationship with new Real manager Julen Lopetegui, especially after being substituted off against Girona.

This comes after it was alleged that the Brazilian wants to be reunited with his former team-mate and close friend Cristiano Ronaldo, who made a £100million move in the summer to Juventus.

The Italian newspaper also claimed that Juventus are interested in him and were, in fact, keen to sign him in the summer but could not resolve a series of issues in time.

And for the future of Alex Sandro, the current left wing-back at Juventus, Real Madrid are now keen to bring him in as part of a swap for Marcelo, making the deal more possible.

Reports in Spain also claimed that Marcelo's relationship with Lopetegui has taken a different turn with defender now forced to train with the reserves.

After the Girona game, Marcelo said: 'I was surprised by the change but I respect the decision of the coach.
I wanted to continue because I felt 100 per cent good. I do not understand the substitution but with respect, it is a decision of the coach. I always want to play.'

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has advised married men to cheat. In one of his usual nuggets, he advised men with cheating tendencies to cheat on their job instead of their wife.

Reno Omokri shared on social media:

''Dear men,‬ ‪Cheat on your job, not on your wife. Find the perfect side hustle and ditch the side chick even if she’s perfect. Focus on where you earn, not where you yearn. Devote yourself to chasing clients and restrain yourself from chasing women other than your wife. And note that ‬a productive day doesn’t start in the morning. It starts the night before. If you wait until morning before planning your day, it wont be a productive day. Plan your day the night before, in the serene quietude of your bedroom and you will improve your productivity ##RenosNuggets.''

In the interview, Donald Duke while explaining his views on how he intends to lead the country, went on to bring up the issue of LGBT rights in Nigeria saying “I don’t understand the emotional feelings a gay person would have toward someone of their sexuality. I don’t understand it. But I would not criminalise them. I would ensure that they have the protection of the law. But if they want to exhibit their sexuality, then that’s an affront on the current norms of society.”

After much negative reactions to his words, the presidential aspirant has now released a statement saying the interview was taken out of context. Donald Duke now says, 'Homosexuality is a crime in Nigeria and ought to remain so'.

Politics / Bianca Ojukwu Joins Anambra South Senatorial Race To Liberate Igbos by WotzupNG: 11:31am On Aug 29, 2018
Former Nigerian Ambassador to Spain, Bianca Ojukwu, yesterday formally declared her interest to contest for the Anambra South Senatorial seat.

The and widow of late Igbo leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, made the declaration in Ekwulobia in Aguata council, during a meeting with the stakeholders of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), in the old Aguata zone.

At the gathering was former governor of Imo State and governorship aspirant, Chief Ikedi Ohakim and multimillionaire, Dr. Godwin Maduka.

Addressing the gathering, Bianca Ojukwu said she wants to go to the senate to accomplish the dream of Dim Ojukwu, to liberate the Igbo from hardship and bondage.

“I’ve come here, today, to reaffirm that I wish to represent our senatorial district at the red chamber. Why is it important? It is important because our people need to be represented appropriately.

“Igbo have suffered so much in this country, and have continued to suffer. Our leader, Dim, suffered so much for our people. Evil prevails when good people sit and do nothing; to seat down and be an armchair critic means you are at home with the evil, that is why I came out to make a difference. So, if you want the evil to stop, my people, send me, and I will get our dues. We must identify with APGA, I’ve laboured tirelessly for this party and I will continue to protect the ideals of the party,” she said.

Speaking, Ohakim appealed to others interested in the seat to see the need to step down for Ambassador Ojukwu, as a mark of respect to her late husband.

“Bianca Ojukwu has what is called double legacy and double identity,” noting that her father, late C.C. Onoh, single-handedly built a house for M.I. Okpara. Bianca is not an ordinary human being; she is a spirit and the identity of the Igbo man. Bianca has suffered for us, the Igbo, by sacrificing everything to be by our leader, Ojukwu, till death.

“I beg all others who want to be senators in this zone to please respect our late leader, Ojukwu and father Onoh, by stepping down for Bianca Ojukwu,” he said.

According to him, Comedians will be killed if they crack jokes with Mohammed.

He also took a swipe at Christians that do not stand up in defence of clergymen as they get dragged online.

While preaching in his church in Edo State recently, Apostle Suleman said ‘No regard. Imagine comedians will be cracking jokes and using Jesus for joke, calling Jesus Bros J and a pastor doesn’t go to the altar and give him sound slap.

Sports / Mourinho Says He Has More EPL Titles Than All 19 Managers Combined by WotzupNG: 12:51pm On Aug 28, 2018
Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho has reminded his critics of his achievements in the English Premier League. The Portuguese made this known during a press conference after his team was humbled by Tottenham Hotspur in Old Trafford.

Harry Kane's opener and Lucas Moura's brace ensured the London side went home with 3 points despite United dominating possession and creating lots of chances.

Shortly after the game, Mourinho, who has been under intense heat with speculations of him getting sacked soon, reminded critics that he has more Premier League titles than all the other 19 managers combined.

"You want to make the miracle of my team that played so well and strategically we were so, so, so, so good and you want to try and transform this press conference into a situation of 'let's blame the guy'," Mourinho began. "You have to tell me what is the most important thing because I don't know.

"When I win matches I come here many times and you are not happy that I won matches and you say the most important thing is the way of playing. [Reporter tries to interject] No, no, no. You have to make a decision in relation to that.

"I need to know from you what is the most important thing if it is is to play well or win matches? If it is to play offensively or for a certain result. Today we were aggressive, we press high, Tottenham couldn't make two passes coming from the back, they made lots of mistakes because of our pressure high. We project the full-backs, we had Valencia and Luke Shaw arriving in dangerous positions, we miss goals with an open goal, we miss chances, we were unlucky in rebounds in both goals.

"We lost the game because we concede a goal in the first corner of the match in the minute 50-something. In the first-half, zero corners, zero lateral free-kicks, they had one corner, they score a goal. And you want to transform the story of your game.

"But don't lose your time. Because today I had the proof the best judge in football are the supporters, they are the best judge.

"I would do the same (leave early) losing 3-0, taking two hours from here to the centre of Manchester, because is where I live and after matches it takes two hours, so keep trying, keep trying, keep trying.

"We lost last season here against Sevilla (in the Champions League round-of-16) and were booed because we deserved, because we were not good, because we were not dangerous enough, because Sevilla deserved to win the match, we were booed and deservedly. And today the players left the pitch after losing at home and were applauded because they deserved it. So keep trying and trying and trying and keep trying, keep trying."

Mourinho then ended his press conference by reminding his critics of his championship record in England.

"Just to finish," Mourinho added. "Do you know what was the result? 3-0. Do you know what this means? 3-0 but also means three Premierships and I won more Premierships alone than the other 19 managers together. Three for me and two for them two. So respect man, respect, respect, respect."

Mourinho then walked out of the press conference room.

Singer Timaya had advised his colleague in the industry, Phyno, to just go ahead and have a child because marriages doesn't work anymore.

See video below.

Recall that Timaya, who covered the recent issue of Vibe.ng magazine alongside King Perryy, declared in an interview with the magazine that he is not a marriage material.

‘‘No. I’m not a marriage material. I’m not ready for that,” Timaya said.

On fatherhood:

”Fatherhood is life. Anything that is good comes easy. My music is my love and Emma is my life, so we are living it. Sometimes she tells me that “Daddy I don’t like that song, take it off”, and I will be like “why don’t you like it?” I’m trying to grow my kids in the way of love just so that they can be real. If I have bad breath, my daughter can tell me, “Daddy your breath does not smell nice”.  Music and fatherhood is a happy life. I’m not living like I have to be serious because I’m doing music. It’s the job but that’s my life. I might just be doing music sometimes in the studio with my daughter but of course I’m a father, I know what is good for her at her age. So I can tell her “hey, It is bedtime now”. I’m a responsible dad also.”

Celebrities / Strika Is A Chronic Weed Smoker And Academically Weak - Manager by WotzupNG: 12:10pm On Aug 24, 2018
Strika of Beast of No Nation fame is a chronic weed smoker.

The Chief Executive Officer of The Cape Coast Montessori School has made shocking revelations about young actor Emmanuel Nii Adom Quaye a.k.a Strika of ‘Beasts of No Nation’ fame who has been in the news lately for begging on the streets.

According to Kumi Bruce the CEO of the school where Strika was enrolled, the young actor is engaged in smoking marijuana and that’s a contributing factor to his current status in life which contradicts that of Abraham Attah.

He told Asaasewura Kwabena Santana on Elimina-based Benya FM that Strika who is class five pupil of the school has ran out of the school on several occasions, with the most recent one being the fourth time. Although he noted that Strika is calm, he said his wee-smoking attitude makes it difficult for the school authorities to control him.

“He keeps running away from school. He ran from school ahead of last term’s examination. The last time we found him was at ‘wee’ smokers ghetto, and he even asked us to give him ‘wee’ in one instance,” Mr Kumi Bruce told Asaasewura on ‘Celebrities Parliament’ show.

In the same interview, Mr Bruce further revealed that Strika is academically poor despite all the support services available at his disposal.

“Even though Strika is given extra tuition at school, but the truth is that he still has difficulty with his studies,” Mr Kumi revealed.

Asked if the school will be willing to take him back, the CEO replied that because he broke a bond of not running away from school again, the board of the school would have to meet to take a decision on his comeback.

Family / Re: Lady Says She Didn’t Kneel For Husband During Yoruba Traditional Wedding by WotzupNG: 11:08am On Aug 24, 2018
A man has reacted to a tweet from a feminist who revealed that she didn't kneel for her husband on their Yoruba traditional day.

Reacting to the tweets from the lady who is based in Canada, a Twitter user identified as Biola Kazeem wondered why we glorify and practice foreign culture but chose to pick holes in ours, same holes that can be found in the borrowed one.

''It is fine that some couples are rejecting symbolic gestures such as a wife kneeling for her husband during the Yoruba traditional wedding. Everyone is entitled to their choices. I just find it amusing we are quicker to find holes in gestures than those of our colonial masters.

If the idea is that kneeling is somewhat oppressive/discriminatory, we can find those holes in the white wedding too. The roots of a woman wearing white is to suggest she is pure. Is that not oppressive? Why should fathers walk daughters down the aisle?Is that not discriminatory?

We can question culture while preserving it. A woman kneeling down for her husband is not any more symbolic than wearing white or her father walking her down the aisle. We are usually more eager to question our cultural gestures. It is probably subconscious.

We should question everything if we really want to shake things up. Why should the woman bear he burden of displaying purity in white? Why should fathers walk their daughters? Is the mother not worthy? If kneeling is a problem,these should be too. Same premise.

Culture is only culture if most people agree to it. If we reject our culture while not questioning those who adopted, it is probably not culture that is the problem. Culture is usually not a buffet. If it stops being homogeneous,how is it then culture? If it is not preserved.

What do we hand down? The Western cultures we are less keen to question were handed down generations flaws & all. Question culture but be sure you are questioning everything, including the culture of your colonialists. If not, the culture is not the problem. Selah.''

He was not ill and he was not getting treatment for any ailment but he was consulting with and trying to convince the representatives of various foreign governnents, including the American, British and French, that he can still run in 2019 and win.

My sources have confirmed ro me that those he interacted with are not convinced but he has resolved to run regardless of their skepticism.

They have asked him to probe and jail Godswill Akpabio, Tunde Fashola, Rotimi Amaechi, Rochas Okorocha and Bola Tinubu and they claim that these five, together with a number of others in his own party and government, are very corrupt. He has promised to do that after getting a second mandate.

It is at that time that he will also move against President Olusegun Obasanjo, General Ibrahim Babangida, President Goodluck Jonathan, General Aliyu Gusau, General T.Y. Danjuma, Vice President Atiku Abubakar and many others who have dared to oppose his second term bid.

As regards Governor Ayo Fayose his plan is to arrest him immediately after he steps down as Governor in October, literally during the handover ceremony, and lock him up until after the 2019 election. He intends to give him the Sambo Dasuki treatment.

Senate President Bukola Saraki, Senator Dino Melaye, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and all the others that decamped and left the APC with them to return to the PDP will not be spared.

His plans for them are equally reprehensible. He has resolved to break them, humiliate them and teach them the lesson of their lives.

And those of us that have been on the receiving end of their cruelty for the last three years will not be left out.
He has more plans for this writer as well as others like Olisa Metuh, Sambo Dasuki, El Zak Zaky, Nnamdi Kanu and all his other traducers and critics.

I gather that even Church leaders and clerics like Bishop David Oyedepo, Apostle Suleman, Bishop El Buba and others have been marked down for persecution and destruction whilst visible and loud players, commentators, writers, politicians and activists like Senator Ben Murray-Bruce,
Pastor Reno Omokri, Prince Deji Adeyanju, Hon. Boma Goodhead, Mr. Charly Boy Oputa, Mr. Yemi Adebowale, Mr. Shaka Momodu and others have also been added.

I have been reliably informed that they intend to rig the Osun, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Kwara, Plateau, Benue and Kogi state governorship elections through a perfected method and ensure that the APC wins those states regardless of the choice and preferences of the people.

After Buhari has finished with all these individuals and effecting this agenda and there is no-one left to challenge him he will turn on the Nigerian people themselves with all his vindictiveness, bitterness and venom.

He will reduce them into servitude and turn them into slaves and zombies. He will impose his Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda, bury the idea of restructuring and destroy its proponents, enthrone and empower the Fulani herdsmen and Miyetti Allah, enter a peace accord with Boko Haram and accomodate some of their demands.

He will also reduce CAN and Christians to nothing, bring the Church to its knees, wipe out Shiite Muslims and decimate IPOB members, silence all dissent, establish cattle ranches in every state of the Federation, change the constitution to make himself life President and turn Nigeria into a North Korean-style totalitarian state where his word is law and where he must literally be worshipped as Nigeria's third and final Muslim Mahdi.

Those that applaud Buhari as he violates the rights of others and inflicts pain and injury on them are naive and shortsighted.

They forget that those of us that are his critics, that oppose him, that are in the opposition and that he seeks to destroy are the only ones standing between them, the establishment of a police state and total destruction.

By the time he has finished with us he will strip the Nigerian people of all their dignity and all that is dear to them and turn them into broken souls, street urchins, filthy almajiris and the biggest beggars in Africa.

Poverty, tyranny, evil, ethnic cleansing, genocide and mass murder will stalk the land whilst the judiciary, the legislature and the fourth estate of the realm (the media) will simply do his bidding.

He will bring the entire nation to heel and Nigeria will end up being a worse place to live than Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union.

In all this there is only one consellation and that is the fact that Buhari is not God. As they say, "man proposes and God disposes".

Buhari's plans will fail, his evil agenda will be thwarted and by the time this is all over he will know that we serve a mighty God who rules in the affairs of men.

His word says "who is he that sayeth a thing and it cometh to pass when the Lord of Hosts has commanded it not?"

As long as God has not commanded it or permitted it Buhari's purpose will not stand and his evil intentions will melt like an iceburg approaching the tropics. That is why the righteous and those of us that are the children of light and the sons and daughters of the Most High God need harbour no fear.

Those that need to fear are those that have shed innocent blood, betrayed the counsel of the Living God, tormented and robbed the Nigerian people, bowed before the tyrant and dined at the beasts table.

Those that need to fear are the useful idiots and accursed slaves that have sold their heritage for a mess of pottage and that have opted to assist the tyrant in his ungodly and unholy mission of slaughter, decimation and destruction.

As long as Jesus sits on the throne Buhari's evil plans for all those that have taken a leap of faith and have courageously opposed him shall not stand.

Those of us that have been the voice of the voiceless and stood for truth must not relent. We must continue to stand firm and strong because we have a divine obligation to resist the tyrants evil.

And no matter the price that has to be paid, that is precisely what yours truly intends to do. I urge you to join me. Together we shall bite the bullet, take the pain and endure in the knowledge that, though our oppressors may have today, we shall have tomorrow.

Dark may be the night but joy comes in the morning. Our joy will surely come, God shall prove Himself mighty and, in the end, He will make all things beautiful.

MrBrownJay1:


sadly rape has been happening for EVER, and men were always quick to blame it on the way women dressed etc.... now people would certainly take notice, now that gay men are going about raping other men. what funny BS reason are they gonna blame this one on?!?!

i am sorry, but to me, there is something funny about an African able bodied man trying to rape his fellow African brotha!
The blame is still on men.
