The Spanish giant and in No doubt the best football club in the world have proved themselves worthy again by lifting the trophy at the 2017 International Champions Cup by defeating her greatest rivalry to a 3-2. Lionel Messi opened the score sheet with a three minutes stunner followed by an Ivan Rakitic goal in the seventh minute, then Real Madrid came from behind as Mateo Kovacic scored in the fourteenth minute and Marco Asensio leveled the score boar d in the thirty sixth minute before the half time ...... it wasn't an easy match as it has never been easy when ever the two rivals clash. Gerard Pique came from the defense and gave the winning goal of the match..... 62% to 38% ball possession? Waoooo, i really did missed a lot, i can't just help to imagine how Madrid must have been on the field with just a 38% of the ball..... Congrats FC Barcelona.....

I ain't a politics freak neither do i follow up on most of their news trash, but i could remember so well that Good Luck Jonathan during is government removed or tampered with the crude oil based on subsidy issues of a thing, and this so called heartless woman called Diezani could actually loot 90 billion US dollars , hahahahahahaha, i cant still get my mouth closed, if one, i mean only one of Jonathan's ex ministers could have stolen this much, then only God knows how much the rest would have stolen. Alhaji Dangote being the wealthiest African Man got 14.7 billion dollars, while Bill gates got 76 billion dollars and that is their net worth, meaning they don't have that cash in their accounts but as an assets, including cash in account, but a minister in this country could have stolen 90billion in cash, haha, its uncalled for.  A country with over 60% of children on the streets, dying of starvation daily, a nation with pensioners dying of hunger daily, a country where there...

The Clasico match between Barcelona and Real Madrid will come to the United States for the first time in 2017, as the two rivals will meet as part of the International Champions Cup on July 29 in Miami. The ICC has managed to attract top clubs from the European continent in previous editions, but they've never managed to put the two Spanish giants on the same pitch, per ESPN FC. El Clasico is widely considered the biggest and most iconic match in the sport, with more than 400 million viewers tuning in for the 1-1 draw in December, per the report. While this match will only be a pre-season friendly, the animosity between both clubs means this could be the feistiest ICC mach yet. Per the report, the match will take place at Hard Rock Stadium, home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins. Both teams have played at the venue before, with Real Madrid beating Chelsea 3-1 in the 2013 ICC and Barcelona losing 4-1 to Guadalajara in the 2011 World Football Challenge. Former NFL star and massive foot...

The ASUP (Academic staff union of Polytechnics) Lagos State Polytechnic chapter had late last month called off their ongoing strike along with the NASUP of the institution, giving the management of the school a month grace to must have met with that which will quench their thirst, and the grace given will actually elapse on Monday 31st of July if their needs are not met.  The institution which is known for her fast calendar among other polytechnics in the previous years have actually had the slowest calendar year, the current semester and session which actual plan was to have wrapped off in the early weeks of this month is still yet to see the examination "time table" for the semester talk less of wrapping off.  Last week the ASUP members have been seen by students putting on different customized shirts like "31st is all about Solidarity" or "Efun wa lo wo wa, so so so"...... hmmmm, that is the management is yet to have met to their needs and if that is th...

😓😒😞 This is a big disappointment, i could hardly believe it when this was sent to me this morning. First it was lekki in Lagos State and now it is Abeokuta in Ogun State. See refuse, haha.... Haaba, its too much, ii actually dont know if the flood brought the refuse from a far distance or if people had turned drainage's and canals into a refuse dump before the flood, or if it was during the flood people started dumping their refuse in it. Please we need to stop this uncalled for attitudes and learn to dispose our refuse properly. Ogun State Government also needs to provide a means for the people to dispose refuse and also make sure refuse are dumped properly by the residents of the state. A quick prevention should be done before this flood becomes what will make people homeless. Ise logun Ise.

I was out with a few friends, just having a bottle and sharing information when I heard this girl say " I'm a virgin, but I love oral sex, at least I'm free from all this yamayama STDs and even pregnancy",  I couldn't help but shake my head at how ignorant she was.  I decided to write this for ignorant people like her. There is a disease called oral gonorrhea, according  medicinenet.com   oral gonorrhea (also termed  pharyngeal gonorrhea ) is defined as an STD infection of the pharynx with Gram-negative coccal-shaped (round) bacteria named  Neisseria gonorrhoeae .    Infection is acquired through direct contact with white/yellowish pus-like fluid (also termed discharge or exudates) containing  N. gonorrhoeae  bacteria from one sex partner. This discharge is caused by  N. gonorrhoeae  bacterium inflaming the local tissue. It mixes with a person's vaginal fluids, seminal fluids, or mucus membranes near the anus and rectum that ...

It's been days now after the evil operation carried out by the evil cult group known as "Badoo" left the Odogunyan residents, a sub town in Ikorodu in pain, tears and desperation after killing a family of five cold blooded. From that day the residents of the area have decided to turn Night to Day and make their day remain day, in which some results have been gotten, and jungle judgements given to the members of the heartless gang that have been apprehended. The first and second gate area of the Lagos state polytechnic has decided to remain awake and vigilant until a solution has been made to the threat against their lives. The night security group (Oyabo), students, youths and some residents of the area have decided to take the current situation going on at ikorodu on their shoulders by denying themselves of sleep and rest at night. It was heard, rumoured or not that the evil cult gang have dropped a threat letter promising to visit first gate anytime soon. This making it...

The topic of the moment here at Ikorodu, Lagos State is the hash tag "BADOO". This isn't the popular musician we all know as Olamide (I think Olamide needs to change his nickname because if him come Ikorodu to perform and shout badoo lasan,the next action won't be funny ooo),but this time it's the notorious ,heartless, devilish, and blood sucking gang, who have made ikorodu town their hunting ground, caused more pains in the heart of the people of this great town, causing the town to go to their beds with eyes and ears opened. The people were actually waiting and hoping on the government to secure their lives, but it seems the more they hoped, the greater the pain and fear in the people. So now the town have decided to secure themselves and give judgement to any member of the Evil gang. Over the past week, the people have been able to get hold of some scape goats, and now not even the government can help calm the people, for they are determined to give pain and cr...

Today we celebrate and honour every single African child, home and abroad, dead or alive, rich or poor, living in the woods, on the streets, in mansions, in refugee camps, in war Zones etc. With a broken heart, and a shivering mind, I send out my utmost wishes to every African Child who have to walk miles to school and back home daily, African child who have to hawk over 16hrs daily just to have a sip of water and a tiny loaf of bread to survive,  those who are casualties of meaningless Wars and violence, Victims of child trafficking, those who were made to watch their homes burn to Ashes, and their family destroyed. Remember we are the king of the Jungle, fear nothing and keep being strong, we were born strong, our roar will one day give us freedom. I have a dream that one day we won't have to walk miles to school daily, for education will be at our doors, a dream that one day we won't have to hawk to survive, for our parents will be employed legally, a dream that one no Afric...

EMIR SANUSI BARES HIS MIND ON HAUSA, IGBO AND YORUBA… THE PROBLEM OF NIGERIA….. A MUST READ ! The former Central Bank Governor, and Emir of Kano His Royal Highness Muhammadu Sanusi the second , surprised guests present at the Muson Centre for the launching of the book of Sir Olaniwun Ajayi. Below is his unedited speech. “Let me start by saying that I am Fulani (laughter). My grandfather was an Emir also fulani my uncle and guardian was also the immediate late Emir of Kano Alhaji Ado Bayero and therefore I represent all that has been talked about this afternoon. Sir Ajayi has written a book. And like all Nigerians of his generation, he has written in the language of his generation. “My grandfather was a Northerner, I am a Nigerian. The problem with this country is that in 2009, we speak in the language of 1953. Sir Olaniwun can be forgiven for the way he spoke, but I cannot forgive people of my generation speaking in that language. “Let us go into this issue because there are so many my...

According to CNN- Witnesses described the Horror. As the flames engulfed Grenfell Tower in West London, people were seen waving for help from the windows, and attempting to escape. At least six deaths were confirmed early Wednesday after a blaze ripped through a high-rise apartment block in the British capital as residents slept. At least 74 people were injured, according to authorities. More than 250 firefighters battled the west London inferno through the night. Local resident Tim Downie told NBC News he saw “people dangling children out the windows to try and get them to safety” as flames spread upward. Witness Samira Lamrani said one woman wrapped a baby up “in some sort of thick blanket” and dropped the tot from around the 9th floor. “Miraculously the baby just sort of dropped in a straight line, and a guy just ran forward and the baby fell into his arms,” she added. Several others recounted watching people jumping from Grenfell Tower. Local officials believe that several hundred ...

It's been a year now that Omar Mateen Murdered over 50 souls in the name of Religion. Today thousands of Orlando citizens gather together to remember their loved ones, friends and families who died in the attack at the Orlando night club on the 12th of June 2016. May their gentle souls Rest in perfect peace. On June 12, 2016, Omar Mateen , a 29-year-old security guard, killed 49 people and wounded 58 others in a terrorist attack / hate crime inside Pulse , a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida , United States. He was shot and killed by Orlando Police Department (OPD) officers after a three-hour standoff. Pulse was hosting a "Latin Night" and thus most of the victims were Latinos . It was both the deadliest mass shooting by a single shooter and the deadliest incident of violence against LGBT people in United States history. It was also the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since the September 11 attacks in 2001. Religion has killed More and destroyed more than...

What if I told you in just 10 seconds a day, you can sleep better, make more money, reduce stress, and lose weight? Sleeping naked can do all these things and more. All you have to do is take off your clothes. While there are countless strategies floating around out there to help you improve in these areas, none is as simple—and many are less effective—as stripping down before you go to sleep. Since only 8% of people sleep naked, most everyone can discover the benefits of sleeping in the buff. This may sound far-fetched, but hear me out before you throw those cozy flannel pajamas on. You Sleep Better Naked We've always known that quality sleep is good for your brain, but recent research from the University of Rochester demonstrates exactly how so. The study found that when you sleep your brain removes toxic proteins from its neurons that are by-products of neural activity when you're awake. The catch here is that your brain can only adequately remove these toxic proteins when y...

Religion is despicable. And then murders happen. I don’t believe any “science fiction” from 2000 years ago. Astrology is science fiction. A burning bush is science fiction. Prophecies from an invisible voice is science fiction. I don’t believe in any set of rules made thousands of years ago that dictate clothes to wear or punishments for random crimes. And you know what: most people don’t believe in those things either. But I also don’t like when media takes a billion people and just blindly calls them terrorists for the sake of selling as many commercials as possible. And every academic can quote passages from every religion about violence and horror. The Bhavagad Gita, for instance, is Krishna’s argument about why Arjuna needs to go into war with, and potentially kill, his own cousins. Should a modern person take this seriously? Of course not! Islam is similar. Do I listen to everything a mysterious voice said to a man in the desert over a thousand years ago? Of course not! I don’t b...

More than 8.3 million American adults suffer from serious psychological distress, according to new research from New York University Langone Medical Center. That means a higher percentage of U.S. adults are dealing with this mental health issue now than in the past. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines serious psychological distress as a combination of “feelings of sadness, worthlessness and restlessness” profound enough to affect your physical health. In addition to rising distress, the new findings (published online in the journal Psychiatric Services) show that the country’s “ability to meet the growing demand for mental health services is diminishing,” the study’s press release explains. Researchers analyzed data from more than 200,000 Americans between 18 and 64 years old using self-reported surveys, a process that spanned nine years. They found that 3.4 percent of participants met the criteria for serious psychological distress — previous estimates were less tha...

With summer jobs on the horizon, professionals recall the first jobs that launched their careers. #CareerLaunch  In the summer of 1971, I was babysitting for Mrs. Hackleberry for 50 cents an hour. I entered the Miss Fire Prevention contest sponsored by my local radio station WVOL in Nashville. Everyone, especially me, was shocked when I won.  When I went back to the radio station to claim my prize, a Longines watch and a "digital" clock radio, the local DJ saw me looking around in awe.  "Have you ever heard your voice on tape?” he asked. “Think you could read this?”  He tore some wire copy, adjusted the mic, and rolled tape as I began to speak. I hadn’t finished three sentences before he called for another guy, then another, to "come listen to this kid read.” I left the station that day with the biggest prize of all — my first job in broadcasting. I was 17 years old.
