“Show me some respect, I’m an African champion!” – Oboabona turns down Arsenal trials

Godfrey Oboabona has taken a swipe at Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, for showing him a lack of respect. The Super Eagles defender blasted the Gunners, after they demanded that he comes to London for trials, before he can make a move to the Emirates. Oboabona feels he does not have anything to prove, especially after he featured prominently for Nigeria, as they won their third Africa Cup of Nations trophy this year. “Arsenal’s management tell me to come for a trial when I WON the African Nations Cup,” the 22-year-old Oboabona explained “I think I should be above such requests. It is high time some of these clubs started respecting Nigeria.”

#SleeceNaija Nigerian Army arrests 42 Boko-Haram Suspects in Lagos,Ogun

The suspects were arrested in various parts of Lagos. The Nigerian Army in a raid carried out between July 12 and 23 said it arrested 42 suspected members of the Boko Haram sect in various hideouts in Lagos and Ogun States. The General Officer Commanding (GOC), 81 Division, Major General Obi Umahi, paraded the suspects before journalists in Lagos on Monday. Mr. Umahi said their arrest was based on intelligence report from army operation commanders. He said the suspects admitted being members of the sect, while some confessed to have taken part in deadly Boko Haram operations in some parts of the country. The GOC said some of them were among those responsible for the killing of soldiers and civilians in Maiduguri, Borno State. According to him, the suspects were arrested at Ibafo Trailer Park, Ileke New Trailer Garage, Ogun, Aviation Quarters, Mafoluku-Oshodi, Mile 12 Motor Park, Ketu, Orile Trailer Park, Lekki New Extension, and Bar Beach, Lagos. “We are still trying to track their weapons,” he said The GOC said the suspects migrated to the south western part of the country following the recent clamp down on their activities in the north by the Nigerian Armed Forces. “Army officers from 81 Division carried out coordinated raids in some major criminal hideouts in Lagos and Ogun States which are under our area of responsibility. “This is in response to intelligence reports on the influx of Boko Haram terrorist elements into Lagos and Ogun states. “The command organised and conducted raids, in junction with intelligence operatives, in various parts of these states. One of the suspects, who identified himself as Hassan Ibrahim, told journalists he and two others were indeed responsible for the killing of one soldier in Maiduguri. The suspect further gave the names of the two other accomplices as Ibrahim Ismail and “Alhaji Black”, adding that, some of them were now operating commercial motorcycle in Lagos. “It was Alhaji Black who fired the shot that killed the soldier and one Boka in Maiduguri,” the suspect said. The Boko Haram sect has limited its terrorist activities to the northern part of Nigeria where it is demanding an Islamisation of northern states. The Federal Government in May declared a State of Emergency in three north eastern states of Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe to check the activities of the sect.

When Thiago Alcantara made the move to Bayern Munich from Barcelona this summer, he made it clear that ex-boss Pep Guardiola's move to Germany played a big part in him following suit.

The Bundesliga champions, having just conceded twice in two minutes were under the cosh, and during a talk with his players an angry looking Guardiola slapped Thiago in the face.

Manchester United were thought to be interested in the 22-year-old, who was seeking first team football this summer having been frozen out at Barcelona. He eventually opted for Bayern, and was picked ahead of Bastian Schweinsteiger for the clash, but seems to have failed to justify Guardiola's faith in him. Dormund's Robert Lewandowski also featured in the match, despite both himself and the club making it clear that he will be signing for Bayern once his contract expires next summer.  watch video from this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vY075-EJqqE

#SleeceNaija : Nando gets disqualified from the BBA show

Breaking News: Nando Disqualified-Elikem gets a Strike 7/28/2013 10:20:00 PM Tanzania's Nando has been Disqualified from the Big Brother House. After tonight's Evictions that saw Annabel and Sulu being given the boot, Big Brother then gathered all of the Housemates in the living room. Today Big Brother reproached Nando for the fight that he had with Elikem on Friday. The heated face-off with Elikem saw the two fellas exchanging fiery words between them. Nando is the one that instigated the fight. Instigation and provocation is a violation of the Big Brother rules. "Any Housemate who becomes physically violent will be removed from the House immediately. Violence can refer to self-inflicted violence, or violence towards another. Violence includes provocation, goading, bullying and victimisation," said Biggie. This season Big Brother has imposed a Three Strike Rulu, which will be applicable to Housemates who commit serious infringements. For this fight Nando received his second Strike and Elikem was has served with his first Strike. Afterwards the Tanzanian was called into the Diary Room. He was given his third Strike for making threats against Elikem's life, saying: "I feel like stabbing him. A nigga like that deserves to die". And he was also caught sleeping with scissors under his bed and this is not the first time that he has been caught with a weapon in the House. The troubled young fellow has had a dramatic nine weeks in The Chase. Last month he was served with a a Strike and a stern warning from Big Brother after he was found carrying a knife to the Channel O Party. The possession of weapons or intention to be violent in the House is another violation of the Big Brother rules. After the Diary session Nando was told to immediately exit the House. Big Brother then gave a warning to the Housemates to conduct themselves as adults. Nando out of The Chase

@SleeceNaija : Mapo Hall, Ibadan's municipal city hall monument

Mapo Hall is the colonial style city hall, perched on top of Mapo Hill, in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Mapo Hall was commissioned during the colonial era by Captain Ross in 1929. It was renovated in 2006 amid some controversy. Ibadan - Mapo Hall is located on Mapo Hill ("Okee Mapo"), the heart of the indigenous section of Ibadan, first settled in 1829 by warrior refugees fleeing the ravages of the Fulani wars in the guinea savanna. Mapo Hill was an obvious strategic position for military defensive purposes because it gives a view of the surrounding country for miles around.

@SleeceNaija : Publicity Stunt??? Nicki Minaj Files Restraining Order against DJ Khaled After Public Marriage Proposal

As if this story couldn’t get any more bizarre, just one day after DJ Khaled embarrassed himself by broadcasting a wedding proposal to Nicki Minaj, the Young Money super star has responded by reportedly filing a restraining order in the state of New York, where she resides. According to Reports, this isn’t the first time Khaled has professed his infatuation with Nicki, the DJ has allegedly sent Nicki flowers in the past, as well as random packages, and constantly shows up to her concerts all across the country, according to the report. But with all the random stuff that comes from YMCMB, we wouldn’t be surprised if this was some sort of publicity stunt from both sides. Nicki is yet to come out to respond to the awkward video or restraining order publicly.

@SleeceNaija : Two suspects in Police net over murder of 16-year-old girl

Two persons have been arrested by the Abia State police command in connection with the death of a 16-year old girl, simply identified as Esther. Esther’s badly decomposed body was found in an uncompleted building at the Cattle Market in Lokpanta in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State. The victim’s full identity was not known, except that she hailed from Abakiliki, Ebonyi State. Esther, until her death, was alleged to be a girl of free virtue, a trade she reportedly plied at the Lokpanta Cattle Market. The suspects, Uchenna Okorie and Levi Nwankwo are presently with the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) where they are helping the police in their investigation. It was, however, not possible at the moment, according to the police to know if any part of her body was tampered with because of the badly decomposed nature of the remains. According to the police, on the night of Thursday July 11, 2013, one of the suspects, Uchenna Okorie, said to be the boy friend of Esther, engaged the service of the other suspect, Levi Nwankwo, an Okada operator, to pick Esther and drop in his house. Levi Nwankwo, the police said, claimed that he picked the girl as instructed by Uchenna Okorie and that when he got to Okorie’s home, he was not around, adding that he dropped Esther there and asked her to wait for her boy friend. According to him, she sat under a mango tree in the compound before he left. However, some days later Esther’s badly decomposed was found in an uncompleted building. According to the police, it was the stench oozing out from the decomposed body at the uncompleted building that attracted the people around the area. The incident, the police said was reported by one Good Samaritan, Friday Eke. Before then, Esther’s “business colleagues” at the Cattle Market had raised alarm that they had not seen her for a couple of days. However, the clue that led to the arrest of the two suspects, the police said, was given by one Mercy Sunday, said to be a food vendor at the Gariki, who gave the information that she saw when late Esther was carried in an okada by Levi to Uchenna’s house. When contacted, the Abia State Police commissioner, Mr. Usman Tilli Abubakar confirmed the incident and said that the police would get to the root of the matter. Abubakar said whether Esther was a prostitute or not, she deserved not to be killed, hence the police’s on-going investigation to unravel the cause of her death.

@SlleeceNaija : Spain: Train Crash Driver to be Questioned

Train driver Francisco Jose Garzon Amo The driver of a train that crashed near the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela on Wednesday killing 78 people is due to appear before a judge. Francisco Jose Garzon Amo has been detained on suspicion of reckless homicide and the judge will decide whether to press formal charges. Garzon is suspected of driving too fast on a bend. Reports say the train was travelling at more than double the speed limit at the time of the crash, reports the BBC. Garzon, 52, was pictured being escorted away from the wreckage by police, blood pouring from a head injury. He left hospital on Saturday and was immediately taken to the central police station in Santiago. He has so far refused to make a statement or answer questions. Sunday's court hearing will be closed but the judge will decide whether to remand the driver as an official suspect, release him on bail, or free him without charge. If the judge finds enough evidence for a criminal trial, Garzon will be charged and a date set. At least 130 people were taken to hospital after the accident and 30 remained in a critical condition on Saturday. All eight carriages of the train - packed with more than 200 passengers - careered off the tracks into a concrete wall as they sped around the curve on the express route between Madrid and the port city of Ferrol on the Galician coast. Leaking diesel burst into flames in some of the carriages. The train's data recording "black box" is with the judge in charge of the investigation. Officials have so far not said how fast the train was going when it derailed. Gonzalo Ferre, president of Spanish rail network administrator Adif, said the driver should have started slowing the train 4km (2.5 miles) before the spot where the accident happened. The president of Spanish train operator Renfe, Julio Gomez Pomar, has said that the train had no technical problems. He said the driver had 30 years' experience with the company and had been operating trains on the line for more than a year. People from several nationalities were among the injured, including five US citizens and one Briton. One American was among the dead. Some victims have had to be identified using DNA matches due to the extent of their injuries. PM Mariano Rajoy, who hails from the city of the crash, declared three days of official mourning on Thursday. The crash was one of the worst rail disasters in Spanish history.

@SleeceNaija : Tottenham want £100m to sell Gareth Bale to Real Madrid in world-record smashing transfer

Spurs have slapped an incredible £100million price-tag on Gareth Bale That is the fee Real Madrid have been told they will have to pay if they want to sign the Welsh wizard. Tottenham chief Daniel Levy is determined to play hardball over Bale’s future and has insisted Real will have to smash the world transfer record to bag the player. However, Real value the player at £85m - which would itself be a world record - and have made it clear to Bale that they expect him to submit a transfer request to force his move. A six-year contract worth £150k-a-week is on the table for Bale, who is currently with the north Londoners on their pre-season tour in Hong Kong. The Wales international has told Real he wants to sign for them, but has yet to submit a formal transfer request. New Real coach Carlo Ancelotti is planning for next season with Bale in his team and has already allocated him the No.11 shirt. A senior source at Real said: "The president is adamant that Bale must join the club this summer and he is the only high-profile player we are pursuing. "Ancelotti will play Bale on the left and Cristiano Ronaldo on the right in a 4-3-3 formation. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Bale will be a Real player this summer. "If that means he has to put in a transfer request to force the issue, then that is what we expect he will do." Real president Florentino Perez paid Manchester United £80m, the current world record, for Ronaldo in 2009, and his determination to land Bale is driven by Barcelona’s capture of Brazil superstar Neymar for £48.6m from Santos in June. After sacking Jose Mourinho and losing their La Liga title to Barca, the Real chief is under huge pressure to prove his intention to compete with their arch-rivals. Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas claimed that the club are in negotiations to improve Bale’s £80k-a-week deal at White Hart Lane but the player’s camp claim there have been no contract talks since last summer. Real. meanwhile, will pile the pressure on a distraught Bale to hand in a transfer request in a bid to force through a world-record switch to the Bernabeu. The Spanish giants made their incredible offer of 100m euros for the Welshman earlier this month - but it came with a warning that the bid will stand only for this summer. Tottenham haven’t yet officially rejected the bid, but are sticking to their guns that Bale is NOT for sale - meaning the 24-year-old could miss out on the chance to fulfil his long-term dream of playing for Los Blancos altogether. If Spurs refuse to budge then the Spaniards, led by Perez, will ask Bale to provide a formal written transfer request in a bid to put the pressure on his club. They believe their offer is a fair one, and they are ready to ramp up the heat on Spurs in a bid to get their man. A senior source at the Bernabeu said: “The president is adamant that Bale must join the club this summer and he is the only high-profile player we are pursuing. “There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Bale will be a Real player this summer. “If that means he has to put in a transfer request to force the issue, then that is what we expect he will do.” Levy, however, is ready to insist that the Welshman, who has three years to run on his contract, stays put. Spurs’ stance means Perez has now taken it upon himself to get Bale to Madrid, where he will be offered a six-year deal worth around£150,000. Villas-Boas claimed last week that the club have been negotiating a new contract with the player for a year, although Sunday People Sport understands no talks have taken place since last summer. And even if Spurs were to present Bale with a new contract and terms that are a vast improvement on the near-£100,000 a week he currently earns at the club, it is highly unlikely he would sign. The player is adamant that his desire to move to Real is not about money or playing in the Champions League, but simply it is about taking the chance to fulfil a childhood dream. Bale didn’t play in Tottenham’s 6-0 victory over South China FC in Hong Kong on Saturday in the Barclays Asia Trophy. The official reason given for his absence was his failure to recover from a buttock injury, but Sunday People Sport understands that, with or without the problem, the distressed star would not have been in the right frame of mind to play given that he feels Spurs are standing in the way of the biggest opportunity of his career. The fact a switch to the La Liga giants means him linking up with close pal Ronaldo makes it even more appealing to the Welshman. Spanish newspaper Marca, who have close links to Real, say the club are already plotting to hand him the No.11 shirt - the same number he wears at Tottenham. Real know it could be a lengthy battle to get Bale this summer, but they remain confident they can get their man. Ideally, they would like him to join up with them in Los Angeles on their pre-season tour - they head to California later this week - although Levy has a history of taking negotiations right to the wire in his desire to get the best possible deal for his club. Spurs have already pulled off one coup this summer by landing Brazil star Paulinho and last week they added Belgian winger Nacer Chadli to their squad. They are also battling Liverpool for Valencia’s £26m-rated striker Roberto Soldado, as well as trying to take Wigan midfielder James McCarthy. Spurs are adamant they want those players to join Bale and that they do not need to sell him to balance the books. After failing to reach the Champions League again last season, Levy has told associates he will break his club’s tight financial shackles this summer in a bid not to miss out again next term.

(@SleeceNaija) PHOTO: 2 Cousins Die While Having Sexx In Imo State

Hell was let loose at Umualianya kindred Umumpe, Umuevu Okirika-Nweke in Ahiazu Mbaise LGA of Imo State last Monday when a man, Mr Mathias Nwoko and his female Cousin, Angela Ihuoma Anyanwu, met their untimely death while making love to each other. Sources in the community told 247ureports.com that the late Mathias, 45, had returned home from his Onitsha base to attend the priestly ordination of his kinsman, Rev. Fr. Anayochukwu Onuoha, held at Mater Dei Cathedral, Umuahia, Abia State last Saturday June 20 2013. It was learnt that all through the ordination ceremony, Mathias and the late Angela were literally tied to each other, with the latter taking the front seat of the former’s jeep. Their entanglement was said to have continued the next day, Sunday, during the ceremony marking the first Holy and Thanksgiving Mass at Holy Ghost Parish, Umuevu Okirika-Nweke. The deceased were also seen together at the ordination reception and later at the compound of the new priest where they were dancing to the music coming from Mathias’ car’s loudspeakers, while he occasionally was shooting gunshots from his pump action gun as Angela fed him with cartridges. Interestingly, the deceased cousins were among family members who received prayers from the new priest, who earlier enjoined the people of the community to shun hypocrisy, atrocities and other iniquities if they must avoid God’s anger. The late Mathias who was said to have been married for 13 years without any child, however, returned home with a young girl as his fiancée who he left in the house. It was gathered that while the fiancée was home watching videos and waiting for Mathias, he only returned around 11pm and told her to go to sleep while he collected torchlight to see Angela off to her house. But that was not to be as the duo diverted to Mathias’ semi-completed building. Worried by her daughter’s non arrival to the house, Angela’s mother called her phone line but Mathias was said to have answered the phone telling the woman that her daughter was with him. Also, alarmed by Mathias’ absence in the house up till Monday morning, his fiancée began to look for him within the house and was shocked to have stumbled on the naked but entangled bodies locked in death. She immediately alerted Mathias’ family members who could not believe their eyes. Also, Angela’s mother who was returning from Morning mass was simply speechless at the sight of the deceased. The lady who was on top of the man had her blouse on but naked from the waist region while the man had his singlet on his neck. The two were dead.Their bodies were removed and deposited at Holy Rosary Hospital, Ogbor Nguru in Aboh Mbaise LGA. When contacted, the state police public relations officer (PPRO), Mrs Joy Elemoko, promised to call back to inform our reporter about the outcome of police investigation.
