YOBO IS OUT OF THE SUPER EAGLES SQUARD


Probably as a result of the own goal scored by our super eagle football player or for other reason not yet reviled, Joseph Yobo of the super eagles has resigned from the national football team.
Speaking after the loss to France in the second round of 2014 FIFA World Cup, the Eagles' coach said it was time for him to move on after leading the team to the victory at 2013 AFCON and reaching the play-off of the 2014 Mundial.
"I have to go back to my family and face fresh challenges." Yobo, who has celebrated his 100th cap as part of the national team exactly during this world tournament, announced his leave explaining he had done everything he could for the Eagles: "I think I should give the younger ones the opportunity to forge ahead. I have nothing new to offer."
Interestingly, the immediate reports after the Nigeria vs France match said that when Keshi was asked about his future plans in the Nigerian team, he replied he didn't know whether he would stay or not.
According to NAN, Keshi's post-game words regarding the plans were sketchy. Keshi was asked about whether he would lead the Eagles to Morocco for 2015 African Cup of Nations, to which he replied his job was over and he would rest for about 3 months with his family.
"I can't speak about any country now. I just want to be with my family. I am just going to have a deserved rest with my family and then decide what next to do thereafter".
Moreover, he commented spoke the expiry of his contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF): "My contract is almost up. Nobody has called me for negotiation. One cannot stay where he is not wanted."
As at this moment, Steven Keshi remains the super eagles coach but Joseph yobo is no long a part of the national football team.

97 years old rapist declared not fit for trial

A 97-YEAR-OLD man, Lionel Veck, accused of raping and indecently assaulting a child is not fit to stand trial, a judge has ruled.

He had denied one count of rape and two counts of indecently assaulting a woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, between 1972 and 1977 when she was aged under 16. Veck, who was thought to be Britain’s oldest competitive cyclist when he took part in a 10-mile time trial between Havant and Chichester in 2011, was initially found fit to stand trial at a court hearing in September. The decision followed the results of a psychiatric report. But prosecutor Kerry Maylin applied for the proceedings against Veck to be stayed during a brief hearing at Portsmouth Crown Court.

Every seconds of every minutes of every hour of every day of every …(you know the rest) is appropriated living only no time to catch your breathe. In the end so much is achieved with so much at stake. With time you begin to live your dreams alongside its nightmare. You, a man, next most powerful creature to god, now become a slave to the abstract, a slave of TIME. I have seen organized people who have everything meticulously planned but still wail over poverty of time. Some even feel cheated saying God isn’t fair to have made a day only 24 hours and not more. But the question really is, is man the problem or time? Let’s take a look at the smallest unit of time known to us all, the frame of reference of all happenings and happenstances, the second. It takes a man only a second to die. It ta
