Odegbami and former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu had electrified the Nigerian media with their aspirations of replacing Joseph Sepp Blatter as FIFA President. Kalu, a tested politician and astute administrator threw in the towel even though he never made any formal intention of contesting.
‘’I warned them that it will not work. I told them that no Nigerian or African is ripe to become FIFA President. How far have they gone?’’, Toro who achieved landmark successes as scribe of the NFA said on our hotline.
‘’The position of FIFA President is not something that one jumps at anyhow. I warned that people should not ridicule Nigeria but many read different meanings to our honest advice. It is a shame that after much publicity, they did not cross the first hurdle’’, the former House of Representatives member said.
‘’With Issa Hayatou presiding over the affairs of FIFA, things will be difficult for any African aspiring for that position. If Hayatou supports or shows interest in any African, they’ll bring out incriminating things against him. He is on a hot seat now’’.

OMG Davido opens up about baby mama

By
In 2015 May, I became the father of a love-child. DNA testing determined with maximum proof that I indeed was the father of my daughter, delivered by a head-butting casual lover, Miss Sophia Momodu. I met Sophia when I was barely 21 years old. She was many years older than me and was able to manipulate and exploit my youth, naivety and generosity.Sophia is the mother of my daughter, and no more ! She never would be my wife and she was never qualified for that status. Her background is very dissimilar from mine, and she has very paltry education and equally diminished physical attributes. Cunningly, she moved into my house because she claimed she has no place to stay in Lagos and that her father is late and her mother is resident in Abuja. I have accepted what providence brought my way including my own personal indiscretions. But I also have been burdened by the grate lapses in the character of Sophia and have thus suffered for my daughter who I love as much as my late mother, Imade....
