But 18 months after their triumph in South Africa, the story is a different one as the champions of Africa are steeped in a deep struggle to qualify for the next tournament in Morocco.

Do you agree? Many Nigerian students these days often move quickly to queue for private universities when making a choice of institution. I agree that private universities have advantages like the absence of strike, easy access to lecturers… Well, that’s about all. Public universities, federal and state, have a lot of advantages, from cheaper school fees, to the freedom to be an adult. Public universities expose you to the real world, introduces you to the hustle of life unlike private universities that consist of a lot of brats who are literally spoon-fed. They are so pampered, making difficult to face the real world when they become graduates. So here’s my case for choosing a public university. 1. Public universities allow for freedom and independence: Students in public universities enjoy the freedom to make decisions for themselves and learn to be almost independent. Private universities keep students within the four walls of their camp...

Some Naija big girls who have been positioning themselves and secretly calling people close to Mikel Obi to link them to him, hoping to marry a rich footballer, have all been disappointed. Mikel has taken his stand by ignoring the ladies back home, while flaunting his foreign lover, Olga Diyachenko. But since a photo of Mikel and Olga hit the net, some Naija babes have been attacking the Russian girl who stole Mikel's heart from them. lol! In fact, Mikel is not finding it funny.Here's what he said: "Yes, she is my girlfriend, but I have not proposed to her. If that happens, it will not be hidden and everyone will know. I'm begging Nigerian girls to please leave her alone. Some Nigerian girls have already been attacking her [online] since this fake story came out."

Do you have the liver to tell her? Lol, I have encounter this kind of situation in a mall, was so shy to tell her, I just walked away. If you are in such situation, would you tell her or just walk away, be honest.

I met him in Nigeria through a friend at an event. From there, we became close friends. I became pregnant and we got married immediately. Everything happened in a very short time. A lot of people thought it wasn’t going to work but at that moment, I knew I felt something I had never felt with anyone in my life and I said to myself, why not take that chance? I’m quite prayerful , so I knew there’s no way I could err, though I never planned getting married so early. I had so many dreams of what I wanted in life. Marriage was the last thing on my mind. It happened so fast and I thought I should give it a shot. On what attracted him to him When we first met, I didn’t know who he is really. He didn’t kn...

Next to Genevieve,Chidinma is always on every male celeb's crush list.She had everyone talking after a photo of them acting all loved up on a plane surfaced. In a new interview she debunked rumours of a proposal saying it was just a publicity stunt.... It was all planned out by Vector and I. It happened in a plane, when we were travelling to Abuja for an event, our flight was delayed so we started talking about funny rumours we’ve heard about ourselves. One of the rumours was a picture of myself and Phyno which we took and uploaded on instagram.Then people started talking... she is dating that guy and all those stuffs. Vector then came up with the idea to make people talk more, so that was why we decided make people feel that we are dating. The ring he used was even brought out by my manager, so that was how we started taking those pictures. I want to state today that Vector never proposed to me”.

Antonio Gleidson Rodrigues, 32, the self- proclaimed number one Michael Jackson impersonator in Brazil, has had rhinoplasty in order to imitate the King Of Pop and spends around four hours each day rehearsing his dance moves. Gleidson Jackson, as he likes to be known, had his first operation five years ago when he had his nasal septum corrected to allow him to reach higher notes when singing. He said: 'I wasn't able to reach notes like Michael before but after surgery I can now sing some notes in falsetto.' Following his first bid at surgery, Gliedson, of Fortalenza, continued in his mission to imitate the world famous pop star by having hyaluronic acid injected into his face, which had a whitening effect, and botox injections to enhance the area under his eyes. The former drama teacher also had surgery ...

"It's not beef at all..but I'm the type of person if I feel something..to me everything you do, you don't hit your brother down. This is the first time I'm saying this but the only reason I was upset was because of the NY concert. I was even going to tweet like you know 'make sure everybody turn up for my brother Wizkid's concert' and he threw a shade like that. I'm not going to take that...that's why I went and said what I said. But it's all cool, at the end of the day, we got to keep it on the music. Shout out to him. I'm still a big fan. It was never nothing but don't throw a shade at me...especially when we were on the flight earlier. By the way, check the numbers on my ...

Reports emerged on Tuesday that the Spain international - who spent last season on loan at Napoli - was in negotiations to join Pep Guardiola's German champions and Rummenigge has now revealed the two clubs have settled on a fee for the goalkeeper. "We have reached an agreement with Reina and Liverpool. [Technical director] Michael Reschke could prepare a few things back home while we were in the USA," the Bayern boss told Bild.
