Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets trash Australia 6-0

By
The Golden Eaglets of Nigeria are through to the quarter finals of the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile following their 6-0 demolition of Australia early Thursday morning.
A hat trick from Victor Osimhen and other goals from the trio of Kelechi Nwakali, Edidiong Michael Essien and then Samuel Chukwueze ensured that Nigeria maintained her long time dominance over the Aussies who were initially seen as a tricky side.
While the early exchanges in the Round of 16 clash at the Estadio SausalitoVina Del Mar were initially balanced, the Eaglets required just three minutes to pull away.
In the 22nd minute, Osimhen set the tone for the day’s goals feast when he surged forward with pace and power on the left, before turning his defender and sliding the ball impressively inside the far post.
Barely three minutes later, Nigeria’s lead was doubled up when Funsho Bamgboye was brought down in the penalty area, and Nwakali coolly slotted home the resultant penalty.
Nigeria continued their powerful performance after the break, and although Australia dominated possession for periods, it was the Eaglets that did all the scoring which mattered most.
Osimhen scored twice in the space of six minutes and the duo of Essien and Chukwueze added one each to totally deflate the Aussies and storm into the last eight in confident fashion.
Interestingly, the Eaglets will have their hands full in the quarter finals where they are going to be facing another football power house, Brazil, on Sunday, November 1st.

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....
