“Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it” - Pope John Paul II. For as long as has been since Jay Jay Okocha hung up his boots, Nigerian, African and European soccer followers have waited impatiently for a midfielder with the right work-rate, creativity, discipline, leadership and tenacity, to wear the Super Eagles colours. And they've pitched hope with several players. None has satisfied that crave. Among the present Flying Eagles, there is one talent worth watching for this role. Edidiong Essien - Number 18.A hard working and talented young man, Essien has certainly earned the recognition he is getting. For Essien, the courage to pursue a career in Football was not the easiest to muster up. Born into a lineage of rare football talents who chose to pursue office careers and keep their footballing aptitudes for avocation, Eddie had to blaze a novel patte...

Rivers State Ex-Governor Rotimi Amaechi has been severely embattled from home on being nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari for ministerial appointment. News making the rounds hold it that on Monday October 12, the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions dismissed petitions written by the Integrity Group, from Rivers State, against Amaechi being considered by the Upper House for ministerial appointment screening on his having provided proof that the case is in court restricting the Senate from interfering in a judicial process. The Integrity Group has sent out a video documentary to reveal reasons for tagging Amaechi a corrupt man. Analysts opine that if the video is anything to go by, the probity of President Buhari's anti-corruption campaign may be questionable, seeing that such sky-high monument of graft could not have been unnoticed by those who nominated him for ministerial appointment.

Oliseh's Eagles Exuding Character and Progress After the conflict in camp last week the Super Eagles, with Coach Oliseh's delicate fusion of youth with experience and clearly in better spirits, put up a much improved performance against an Indomitable Lions of Cameroun side equally undergoing a rebuilding phase. Matches between these two African giants have a history of controversy and eleven years after they last met, this one did not lack this recurrent decimal as the Camerounians played half the match without Captain Stephane Mbia who was sent off at the resumption of the second half. News made the rounds that Vincent Enyeama was convinced to stay back in Belgium for the game. The goalkeeping department however looked very safe without him... for now. Leon Balogun who, for me has not been entirely convincing at right back, was awesome on this night in Brussels as he led the backline from the centre with the calming influence it has been lacking to effectively def...

It is easy to see why the US have taken the side of South Korea since the Koreas went separate ways decades ago; the North are more militarily powerful. The info-graphic reveals how more powerful the reclusive North have grown to become - not considering their Nuclear capabilities. When li'l Chubby Kim Un sees this image, one can only imagine how giggly he feels. It seems however that the South have more aircraft than the North. In the event of a showdown, with the West neutral, the North would have to rely on its ground to air capabilities to cancel out the South's additional 8 combat jets and 78 more choppers. Finally, it seems in their best interest for both Koreas to maintain paths of peace. U duak Umo PR Consultant, Public Analyst, Soccer Enthusiast & Music Manager 

One of the biggest struggles of the spread of the gospel is the vigorous reluctance of corporate organizations  to sponsor gospel events, media and talents. Outside of the Far East, where neo-communist governance (almost) outlaws open gospel activities, Africa records the highest corporate disfavor for gospel arts - though the continent is presently the most Christianized on earth. It is therefore both applause-worthy and interesting that MTN is sponsoring a gospel concert; one of international repute ; with Pepsi and Eurostar co-sponsoring. American leading worship leader and pastor, William Mcdowell and Nigeria's queen of worship, Sinach, are the poster-acts in the MTN Ghana Stands In Worship Concert holding at the Accra sports stadium 6pm tomorrow, Saturday October 10. What's more, BEHOLD the event is gated, with fees going as high as 50GHc($14 or N5000). This would baffle the average Nigerian gospel entertainment crew. { Original post } Yet no nation sees up to 5...

Vincent Enyeama, Nigeria Super Eagles' most capped footballer in history, has announced his retirement from international soccer. FIFA.com describes him as Nigerian legend. And rightly so. Enyeama or Inem, as he is fondly called in Akwa Ibom, where he comes from, was born 29 August 1982. He began playing in the University of Uyo where he schooled, had a stint at Akwa United before moving on to Enyimba FC. He won the Nigerian Premier league 3 times and the CAF champions league 2 times with Enyimba. After 3 seasons with Enyimba FC, he moved to Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv in Israel, stopping over for one season at Heartland FC (then Iwuanyanwu Nationale). In his first season with Bnei Yehuda, the team qualified for the final of the Israel State Cup and reached fourth place in the Israeli Premier League, which qualified them for the 2006 UEFA Cup. And then Enyeama signed for Hapoel Tel Aviv, a minor club in Israel, in 2007. With what was described as 'amazing physical and...
