Davido Drops Hypnotic Video For Impressive New Single, 'Like Dat'

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Sat, 25 Nov 2017 02:57:00 +0000

Just two weeks after blowing us all away with his fourth and arguably his best single of 2017, "Fia", Davido proves he is truly the Nigerian artiste of the year by coming through with another impressive single and music video, "Like Dat".

Produced by Shizzi and written by the talented Teni ("Fargin"), "Like Dat" isn't the typical love song Davido's been dropping all year. This one was clearly designed to get people moving, and Davido's energetic delivery over its infectious beat totally gets the job done.

The sci-fi-esque music video, which was directed by Daps, feels like a cross between Blade Runner 2049 and the original video for Wizkid's "Come Closer"

— which makes sense because Daps also directed that one. This video primarily features vibrant colours, stunning women and crisp effects.

With how impressive all his singles have been this year, Davido's sophomore album really couldn't come soon enough. So, while we are not sure if "Like Dat" is the last Davido song we'll get before 2017 runs out, if it turns out to be, then it's a truly triumphant way to end his solid year.

Russia 2018 “Nigeria Are No Longer Underdogs”

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Fri, 17 Nov 2017 07:02:00 +0000

Abiodun Obafemi, an Olympic Gold winner with Nigeria, believes the nation has raised its status, after its 4-2 comeback victory over Argentina.

Sampaoli’s men stormed to a 2-0 first half lead, before goals from Iheanacho, Idowu and an Iwobi brace recorded a brilliant comeback for the Super Eagles.

And Obafemi has stated that ahead of the World Cup, Nigeria’s win has raised her status and they are not underdogs.

“It is quite an unbelievable result for me. Honestly, I didn’t see it coming. The players clearly played with all determination and strong character to win the match,” Obafemi told Goal.

“I must say, all the players were outstanding against Argentina. From the captain John Mikel Obi to Iwobi, Ihenancho, Ndidi and our new boys Idowu and goalkeeper Francis Uzoho – they were at their best. Iwobi, for me, has always shown potentials and he’s certainly a world-class player. I believe his best is yet to come and will be a star to watch next year in Russia.

“The victory was clearly a team success and the coach made a lot of difference with his substitutions. Nobody saw the comeback coming after we were two goals down. Beating a big football nation like Argentina is a big statement and will put us in the eye of the World ahead of the World Cup.

“We are getting better as a team and look to have great potentials to make a difference at the international level again. It will remain a talking point for weeks and months to come, even before the World Cup, however, we must not relent.

“This also shows, we can achieve anything if we put up out very best and stay strong through the match no matter the size of the opponent we are playing.

“I believe the team can go places and even surpass the previous records of African teams but we must work hard and not get carried away. With the victory, we won’t be seen as underdogs going to the World Cup, we start getting prepared for us with some fears in their minds.”

“Just like we had our bad day against South Africa in the Afcon qualifier, I want to accept it was the same for Argentina and could happen to anything. So, we must not get distracted by this feat but focus on building a solid and formidable squad to the World Cup,” he continued.

“I’m happy with Gernot Rohr’s performance so far. He is getting it right with every game. My colleagues may not be happy with me but he has not condoned sentiment, which is the biggest problem related with local coaches,” he continued.

“I can’t say it is about nepotism but we often allude to the mentality of appreciating players based on previous working relations, understanding and relationship. That has been the bane of our failure over the years. But we must give it to Rohr with the great competition he has brought into the team, I believe he will get us far this time.

“Considering what he has achieved already, we must learn from him and give him the best support and all the encouragement he needs to succeed.”

2018 World Cup Draw: England want to avoid Nigeria

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Fri, 17 Nov 2017 06:46:00 +0000

England want to avoid playing Nigeria in the group stage of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

According to English tabloid, The Sun, the Super Eagles are not the preferred rival that the Three Lions will want to face amongst the teams in Pot 4, which also contains Serbia, Australia, Japan, Morocco, Panama, Korea and Saudi Arabia.

The best case scenario that will see the Three Lions tackle Russia, Iran and Panama has been termed Group of Life, while the worst case scenario which sees England face Brazil, Iceland and Brazil has been called the Group of Death.

England have become more wary of the Nigerians after the latter made a strong statement of intent, coming from two goals down to defeat Argentina 4-2 in their last match of 2017 on November 14, so they don’t want to draw the three-time African champs.

Group F containing England, Argentina, Nigeria and Sweden, was nicknamed the Group of Death at the 2002 World Cup; the Three Lions and Super Eagles played out a goalless draw in Osaka in the final match of the group.

Arsenal striker Alex Iwobi, Chelsea’s Victor Moses and Ola Aina, Leicester City trio Kelechi Iheanacho, Ahmed Musa and Wilfred Ndidi will be on the plane to Russia barring an injury, while Everton’s Henry Onyekuru is in contention.

See Shocking Number Of Matches Bale Has Missed For Real Madrid (See Number)

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Sat, 11 Nov 2017 14:11:00 +0000

One third of Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale was crushed with injuries last year, and it has forced him to miss out on 40 of his side’s 60 matches.

No matter what work Bale has done, the injuries have appeared again and again and since Bale’s ankle injury on November 22 of last year, he has only been able to play 20 games in a Los Blancos shirt.

Bale damaged ankle has resulted in the footballer being sidelined for 17 consecutive games, and, after he finally reappeared, he suffered another injury.

First, some discomfort in the operated joint left him two games out. In El Clasico, his problems returned again keeping him out for another eight matches.

This season started well, but after the match in Dortmund on September 26, he has not played since.

It started as a cramp and then became a break in the soleus, which resulted in another nine games missed.

The Welshman will not be able to play for the rest of the year.

His best-case scenario would be missing seven more fixtures but there is a possibility of missing a minimum of 10.

Antonio Conte has explained why he didn't shake Jose Mourinho's hand after their latest Premier League encounter where the Blues won the Red Devil's 1-0 at Stamford Bridge.

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Sat, 11 Nov 2017 13:07:00 +0000

Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte failed to shake Jose Mourinho's hand on Sunday evening after their Premier League clash, before explaining the snub and taking a dig at the Manchester United manager.

Conte was able to get the better of Mourinho in a 1-0 victory on his latest return to his former club thanks to a marvellous Alvaro Morata header, which came midway through the second half when Cesar Azpilicueta’s cross from the right found the striker in acres of space and the talent to put the ball where United goalkeeper David De Gea could not reach it.

Despite a late United rally as Mourinho threw on Marouane Fellaini and Anthony Martial in the hope of an equalizer, Chelsea hung on for a deserved victory, and Conte wildly celebrated the result at the full-time whistle.

Mourinho immediately moved towards the Chelsea dug-out, waiting on their side of the players’ tunnel, but while the rest of the Blues’ staff walked over to shake his hand, Conte headed onto the pitch to celebrate with his players.

“You want me to go and chase him in the middle of the pitch? I was there,” Mourinho said afterward.

“I shook hands with the people who were there. I think one of them was his brother, the assistant, so I feel that, by shaking the hands of his brother and the other assistants, I did my duty. I cannot go and run to chase him.”

Conte though brushed off any suggestion that he had disrespected Mourinho by not shaking his hand and said that the gesture is “not important” in the grand scheme of things as he cared more about the result and the implications it has on the Premier League title race.

“It’s not important. It’s important to win the game,”Conte said. “You have to have the respect on the pitch, not outside the pitch.”

The Italian added: “It’s an important victory. When you play against Manchester United it’s always a massive game.

“We know very well this team is very strong. This type of win is important for our confidence. We showed great desire and passion to win this kind of game.

“We can win or lose but our spirit must be this. Last season our spirit was in every game – we started this season with a lot of problems. We were up and down. This game showed if we want we can."

Didier Drogba to Return to Chelsea

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Sat, 11 Nov 2017 00:43:00 +0000

Chelsea are considering the possibility of bringing Didier Drogba back to Stamford Bridge to replace former Super Eagles defender, Michael Emenalo,

Emenalo recently resigned his appointment as Technical Director of the Premier League champions. The Telegraph is reporting that Emenalo’s departure could pave the way for Abramovich to try again to bring back Drogba.

Hull City manager Leonid Slutsky is also being considered and can be offered a job at Chelsea in case he is dismissed from the post of head coach of his club.

Drogba scored over 150 goals across two different spells at Chelsea and is currently a player-owner at American club Phoenix Rising.

However, there are reports that French Ligue 1 moneybags Monaco are interested in the services of Emenalo. Emenalo had cited family reasons for his resignation.

“After 10 years here, 10 wonderful, successful years, but very demanding years, it is a very tough decision to decide to step aside”, he said.

“It is entirely my decision and it has come about for very simple reasons. I need an opportunity to get to see my young kids grow and also to step back and reflect on the work that I have done here and the things that we have been able to accomplish together in this great club.
“It is something I have been thinking about for quite some time now and it is something I have discussed with my family and they understand the reasons and the timing for wanting to step aside.”

Nigeria police rated worst in the world in ranking of 127 countries

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Sat, 11 Nov 2017 00:31:00 +0000

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has been ranked worst in the world according to the 2016 World Internal Security and Police Index (WISPI).

The WISPI was released by two bodies – the International Police Science Association and the Institute for Economics and Peace.

The report which measured the police’ ability to address internal security issues, assessed police in 127 countries based on four metrics—capacity, process, legitimacy and outcomes.

The report showed that Nigeria performed poorly in all four categories, with a score of 0.255.

“There are 219 police officers for every 100,000 Nigerians, well below both the Index median of 300, and the sub-Saharan Africa region average of 268.

“This limits the capacity of the force to measure up to its law and order mandate.

“In terms of process, legitimacy and outcomes, the story is not different which makes the force fall short of the required standard.

“High levels of political terror have been an issue for Nigeria since 1993, with the country scoring a 4 on the Political Terror Scale every year since then.

“Terrorism remains one of the greatest threats to internal security. Terrorism has increased dramatically over the last three years, with more than 62,000 people being killed in terrorist attacks between 2012 and 2014. The biggest rise in the last year occurred in Nigeria”, the report read.

According to the report, the top 10 performing African countries were Botswana which ranked highest at 47, followed by Rwanda which took the 50th position.

Others include Algeria, Senegal, Tunisia, Egypt, Burkina Faso, Ghana, South Africa and Mali, in that order.

The remainder of the 10 worst performing African countries include Madagascar (111th), Zambia (112th), Ethiopia (115th), Sierra Leone (117th), Cameroon (120th), Mozambique (122nd), Uganda (124th), Kenya (125th), Democratic Republic of Congo (126th).

Europe was at the top of the global rankings, with eight European countries in total.

Reacting however, Jimoh Moshood, spokesman of the police, rejected the report, claiming Nigeria police was best in Africa.

2018 World Cup Qualifiers: Nigeria shares spoils with Algeria in final clash

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Sat, 11 Nov 2017 00:19:00 +0000

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have finished their World Cup qualifier with no defeat as they played out a 1-1 draw against Algeria on Friday night in Constantine.

John Ogu, with a wonder strike, gave Nigeria the lead in the 62nd minute, before Algeria pulled level late from the penalty spot.

The Eagles had 14 points from six games during the qualifiers; winning four and drawing two.

With the qualifiers now done and dusted, next stop for the Eagles is Tuesday’s international friendly against Argentina in Russia.

The Shocking Injury That Almost Left Arsenal Star, Cazorla's Leg Amputated

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Sat, 04 Nov 2017 03:25:00 +0000

Injury-ravaged Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has revealed that he almost lost his foot during his lay-off.

The talented 32-year-old has not played for Arsenal since October 2016, but his problems go back further, with the 11 months leading up to that proving equally hellish.

Achilles tendonitis has been the problem, with the former Villarreal star suffering from the condition on two separate occasions. The second bout is still keeping him out of action and almost cost him his foot due to infection.

The midfielder has undergone eight separate surgeries since his initial Achilles injury, and has even needed to cover the grisly wound with the skin from his arm.

And Cazorla has shed light on his injury nightmare in an interview with Spanish newspaper Marca .

Cazorla told the newspaper: "The doctor told me if I was able to walk with my kid on the garden I should be thankful.
"The problem was that it did not heal and the wounds would reopen, become infected."

Cazorla worked with Spanish doctor Mikel Sanchez throughout his nightmare, with the specialist apparently claiming he had never seen such a case in his career.

"He saw that I had a tremendous infection, that I had damaged part of the bone and damaged the Achilles tendon," Cazorla added.

It remains to be seen whether Cazorla will ever be able to get back to his very best, but he is said to be targeting a return in January.

Single Viral Instagram Photo Landed This Unknown Lady a Modelling Contract

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Sat, 04 Nov 2017 03:12:00 +0000

Dayum, girl – that’s how to use Instagram to your advantage.

19-year-old Anok Yai landed a modelling contract with a high-end, global agency overnight after posting a single photo that dropped the world’s jaw.

She thinks the photo that gained her insta fame made her look like a “deer in headlights,” using “average” as another adjective for the pic. She obviously had no idea what was coming, however, telling the Washington Post that:

When it got to a couple thousand and it just kept going higher and higher, I was surprised. And I was happy. I always wanted it to happen, but it was something I never expected.

You need to see this:

Her Instagram following blew up, moving from 300 followers to 50 000 in a matter of days, with her picture in Howard’s yard eventually gaining more than 30 000 likes.

She went on to say:

I got an email from a modelling agency. They said they were interested in having me and they had me call them. And they just set up tons of interviews and it just went on from there.

Did she get it from her mama?

S I G N E D ? — @anok_yai has signed with Next Management worldwide. Please join us in welcoming Anok! pic.twitter.com/razxjEASy5

— Next Models (@NextModels) October 31, 2017

Legs for days.

Her flawlessness is thanks to Sudanese heritage, but Yai was born in Egypt and moved to the U.S. when she was only two years old. She would later move to Manchester, New Hampshire, where she grew up and identifies with most.

Steve Hall captured the moment after bumping into Yai at Yard Fest in Washington D.C., asking her to pose for a few shots for his fashion website, The SUNK. He, too, earned an extra 14 000 likes after posting the picture on his own Instagram page.

Now she’s with Next Models in New York, an agency that has worked with the likes of Lana Del Rey and Rita Ora, holding down covers on Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.

And her mom wants her to continue with her studies? Sounds like my dad.

Chelsea vs Manchester United: Potential lineups, team news, injury updates

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Sat, 04 Nov 2017 03:03:00 +0000

Chelsea and Manchester United will be locking horns in the Premier League this weekend.

It has been a difficult task for the Red Devils when they travel to west London to face their familiar foes.

Jose Mourinho’s side was beaten two weeks ago against Huddersfield Town, a result that allowed Manchester City to open up a lead at the top of the table.

But they have bounced back to win three in all competitions since then and appear determined to close the gap.

On the other hand, Antonio Conte’s Chelsea are even further off the pace, they are nine points behind the leaders and they are currently navigating through a difficult period.

Chelsea suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Roma in the Champions League in midweek and will be keen to bounce back with what could be a decisive victory.

France midfielder, N’golo Kante, Chelsea’s engine room, is a doubt for the match over his fitness meaning that Tiemoue Bakayoko is likely to continue alongside Cesc Fabregas in midfield.

Also in the midfield, Danny Drinkwater is available for selection, but may have to make do with a place on the bench against his old club.

Chelsea’s potential starting XI: Courtois; Cahill, Azpilicueta, Luiz; Zappacosta, Alonso, Bakayoko, Fabregas, Hazard, Pedro; Morata.

For Manchester United, they will continue with life without Paul Pogba and Marouane Fellaini, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcos Rojo are yet to return.

Defenders Phil Jones and Antonio Valencia were not used in their Champions League win over Benfica but they should come back into the team.

Manchester United potential starting XI: De Gea; Valencia, Jones, Bailly, Blind; Matic, Herrera, Mkhitaryan, Lingard; Rashford, Lukaku.

Phantom 8: Tecno’s new flagship challenges competitors

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Fri, 27 Oct 2017 16:59:00 +0000

The fast-rising global manufacturer of smartphone, Tecno Mobile, has unveiled a new brand, Tecno Phantom 8. At the unveiling at Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Dubai, were ace actor Odunlade Adekola and popular tech You-tuber Eric Okafor.

The device has 20 megapixels front and back cameras with 12 megapixel and 13 megapixels configurations. While reviewing the phone with this writer, Eric Okafor, who is the founder of howtotechnaija.com, said “the refocus camera feature on Phantom 8 is a conversation starter. “My friends on social media suddenly aren’t shy to ask if I used a phone or an actual camera to take amazing portrait shots. Everyone wants to look good and that’s what Phantom 8 offers,”he said.

Ace Nollywood actor Odunlade Adekola explained the optical power of the product from the perspective of a film producer. “The technology behind it is so wonderful. From the camera point of view, the refocusing part of the camera is beyond imagination and the battery is very strong,” he said.

The dual-lens back camera enables the phone to achieve depth of field as identified by Adekola. The main camera is a 12 megapixel SONY IMX386 sensor with f/1.8 lens and improved low light photography. Other features, which complement the power of the camera, include a TRI LED flash, 10X Zoom, Autofocus, portrait mode (refocus), Auto HDR, Night mode, Superpixel and smart filters.

The portrait mode is found in the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. In the iPhone 8 Plus, the Portrait Mode is embedded with Portrait Lighting, which uses the camera sensors to light the subject’s face in real time. Both Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone 8 have the dual camera feature.

Techno Phantom 8 does not only match Samsung’s and Apple’s flagships in terms of camera technology, it also boasts of 6GB RAM, and 64GB storage. These are same specifications with Samsung Galaxy Note 8. However, Apple offers 64GB as standard storage, with up to 256GB scalable storage without the need for MicroSD. That is currently unbeatable.

Tecno Phantom 8 promises to offer the best experience in photography and design. The product couples form and functionality; presented in a slimmer and lighter metal rounded-edges frame. As a luxury product, it has a 3D diamond design at the back. The device has an appealing aesthetics and architecture. This is an attempt to measure up to Samsung Galaxy Note 8’s exceptional and futuristic packaging.

Obviously the consumers were expecting Phantom 7, but the company said it tasked its’ engineers to double up and produce Phantom 8. Reviewers said it is a bid to keep pace with Samsung’s and Apple’s previously launched Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone 8, respectively.

Tecno Phantom 8 is targeted at upper-middle class. It comes in Champagne old, Galaxy Blue and Phantom Black. Tecno mobile is known for spotting global trends and producing local-driven solutions. The brand, with competitive presence in India, the Middlle East and Africa, has kept its market share on a positive gradient.

Although an Africa and Middle-East brand, Tecno’s strategy of “think globally, but act locally”, positions it in the same niche with Apple and Samsung. Techno Mobile engages idea thinking and native intelligence in a bid to beat competition in its territories.

EPL Top Scorer, Harry Kane to Miss Man United Clash Against Spurs...Find Out Why

noreply@blogger.com (Readbab) — Fri, 27 Oct 2017 16:43:00 +0000

As Tottenham Hotspurs are set travel to Old Trafford for the lunch-time kick-off on Saurday, the club have confirmed that their star striker, Harry Kane will miss the massive Manchester United clash with a hamstring injury, and watch on from the sidelines.

The 24-years-old has scored a league-high eight goals in the Premier League this season. The England ace who has scored 17 times in just 13 games for club and country this season, looked to be in pain towards the end of Tottenham's 4-1 win over Liverpool last weekend.

Following the knock, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino had all-but confirmed the potential injury, and when quizzed on Kane's availability, the Argentine chief said: "We'll see, we'll see.
"We need to assess the team because we were forced to rotate [against West Ham] for different reasons and we'll see what happens in the next few days."
Now Tottenham have confirmed Kane is in fact injured, but have failed to state how severe the knock is or how long he could be out for.

However, Pochettino did reveal: "We cannot take a risk with Harry. It is only a small injury but there is no sense risking turning it into something more serious."

The injury also puts Kane in doubt for the huge Champions League clash with real Madrid at Wembley on November 1.

Kane already missed Spurs' 3-2 defeat to West Ham in Carabao Cup midweek, with Fernando Llorente tasked with filling his boots.

The news will come as a massive blow to Tottenham fans, who would have been itching to see what Kane could do against United.

Both clubs are sitting on 20 points in the Premier League this season, with the game already gearing up to be a real six-pointer.

Neymar Receives Ban

Paris Saint-Germain forward, Neymar, has been suspended for one match, following his red card against Marseille on Sunday.

This means the Brazilian will sit out their match against Nice on Friday.

Neymar was sent off late in the 2-2 draw in Le Classique after clashing with Lucas Ocampos, who may have over-dramatised the incident.

It was his second yellow card in three minutes.

At the time of his dismissal, PSG were 2-1 down. But Edinson Cavani managed to earn a point with a late free-kick.

Neymar will face a further one-match suspension if he commits the same offence before the end of the Ligue 1 season.
