"I'll Rather Sell Groundnut In My Village Than Play For Chelsea" Samuel Eto’o


Guess who Chelsea’s newest striker? No, it’s
not Wayne Rooney. It’s Samuel Eto’o!
Now here is the kicker:

Those who have been
supporting the Blues long enough, can
remember the Cameroonian’s comments about
their club.

Barcelona defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the second
round of the Champions League in the
2004/2005 season and before the second leg at
Stamford Bridge, Eto’o stoked the flames by
stating that:

“I’d rather sell groundnuts in my
village than to play for a pathetic team like
Chelsea.”
Chelsea went on to win 4-2 at home and nine
years later, the 31-year-old is holding a blue
shirt grinning.

Football is a funny old game, eh?

Why I took a break from music -Munachi Abii

When asked why she has been silent on the music scene, ex-beauty queen and rapper Munachi told Vanguard... It wasn’t too long, and nothing actually happened, I just decided to take a break. It’s not everytime you have to release songs, you have to take time out in between. If you continue doing songs all the time, before you know it, you will crash and it is happening to a lot of people right now without them even knowing it. So I had to take some time away to study people, the environment, and the music industry to know those that love and hate me. So that’s what I did. I took a step back and it wasn’t too long and I also used the time to work on my tracks and work on myself as well. So that is why I decided to keep quiet Who are hard to work with in the industry?
