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 told The Sun. "I think I should be above such requests. It is high time some of these clubs started respecting Nigeria."

Michael Eromhonsele sacrificed romance for excellence and emerged the best graduating student of Covenant University in Ota, Ogun State at 20:   Twenty-year-old Eromhonsele Michael was the cynosure of all eyes at the eighth graduation ceremony of the Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, on Friday. He was the best graduating student of the institution. To achieve this feat, he obtained a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 4.92, out of a possible 5.0, to beat 1,465 other undergraduates. He says his first few days in the university campus were uneventful. According to him, he was a bit confused because he was not used to the prayer regime that he had to be part of at the faith-based institution. Spirituality is one of the core values of CU.  But as soon as he found his rhythm, there was no looking back for him. He says he did not allow himself to be distracted by his friends or the opposite sex as he concentrated on his studies. Listing some of the factors that helped him to achi...

NO fewer than 42 suspected members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, have been arrested by men of the 81 Division of the Nigeria Army. The arrested suspects, said to have been dislodged in the North-Eastern states of Borno, Yobe and others, were, in the last few days, arrested in Lagos and Ogun states. The suspects were, on Monday, paraded before newsmen in Lagos by the General Officer Commanding 81 Division of the Nigerian Army, Major-General Obi Umahi. Majority of the arrested suspects were said  to have migrated from Borno State to south-western states, particularly Lagos and Ogun, to escape from the Joint Task Force (JTF). They allegedly confessed to have participated in some deadly attacks by the Islamic sect in the northern part of the country. The army boss said the suspects were arrested based on intelligence reports that suspected members of the sect had fled the North and heading to the South. Officers of the division raided Hausa populated places in the two states, includ...

A recently single and broke Toni Braxton has lost the copyright to 27 of her favorite songs. The six-time Grammy Award winner has filed for bankruptcy not once but twice. The 45-year old R& B singer was given the opportunity to purchase the copyright of some of her best hits from her music catalog for $20,000 when they were put up for sale on July 15. But Toni was unsuccessful in her bid to buy back ownership of some of her most famous hits - including You're Making Me High and was outbid by another buyer TMZ reports. Ross M. Klein doubled the low offer Braxton made and now he now owns the rights and can profit from hits like How Many Ways and Always. Toni made a deal with the bankruptcy court to resolve her financial woes which included settling a whopping $150,000 debt last month. But despite her gloomy predicament she still owns the rights to her most famous hit Unbreak My Heart, which was not included in the auction - for now. The loss of her music still comes as ...

The pope has said that he 'will not judge' gay priests. Speaking to reporters on a flight back from his week-long visit to sexually permissive Brazil, Pope Francis said he 'would not stand in judgment' of gays in the Vatican and that they should not be discriminated against. The pontiff's remarks about gays mark a more conciliatory approach than his predecessor. Benedict signed a document in 2005 saying that men with deep-rooted homosexual tendencies should not be priests. In a remarkably open press conference, Francis said that people should not be persecuted for their sexual orientation. He said: 'I am not going to judge. If a person is gay and of good will and seeks the Lord who am I to judge?' 'The catechism tells us not to discriminate or marginalise against these people. They are our brothers.' But will you be comfortable if you know your Pastor or Priest is gay Dont forget to like us on Facebook/alaga'sblog, on twitter @ala...

A woman who wore a meat dress was never going to be massively phased by even the most ghoulish piece of performance art. But still, there was an incredible nonchalance about Lady Gaga as she scooped fake blood sauce from a woman's naked body at the 20th annual benefit for the Watermill Center. Gaga arrived with performance artist Marina Abramovic and the center's director Robert Wilson then mingled with stars like Hugh Jackman and Winona Ryder. The 27-year-old then caused even more of a commotion by bidding $60,000 to buy an Abramovic work, a wall-mounted quartz brick. Diane von Furstenberg bid $100,000 for a video portrait to be done by Wilson. After the dinner and auction, hosted by Alan Cumming, guests danced with several women wearing nothing but body paint.   Gaga, then spotted the woman covered in blood, an onlooker told the NY Post: 'There was a casket with a totally naked woman laying in what looked like a pool of blood.' 'On a ta...

Guys...y'all need to see the photos...kai!!!Alcohol no good oooooo Her son is one of the most talented, and controversial, footballers in the country. But John Terry's mother, Sue, didn't seem to be too used to the excesses of the WAG lifestyle as she joined daughter-in-law Toni for a girls' night out on the town last week. The 55-year-old grandmother looked more than a little worse for wear as she staggered out of a nightclub in London's exclusive Mayfair district at 3am, and collapsed drunkenly in the back of a waiting taxi. Flashing a little more than intended as she sprawled out on the seat in her aqua and purple minidress, the mother of the Chelsea captain put her hand on her forehead as she laid down for a sleep following her boozy evening out. Sporting a deep mahogany tan, Sue's choice of attention-grabbing dress - which she teamed with a blingy watch and matching jewellery - was her ultimate downfall, with the garish colours ensuring all e...

In this interview with MOTUNRAYO JOEL, ASUU Chairman, OAU Chapter, Prof. Adegbola Akinola, addresses various issues surrounding the strike Students have complained that the strike is affecting their academic works. What is your reaction to this? The truth of the matter is that people need to appreciate the content of the complaint that the union is making and the issues involved in this. You cannot eat an omelette without breaking an egg. We must make sacrifices. We can't continue to pretend that all is well. If Nigeria were to be a poor country, we would endure the situations of things in the education sector, but we all know that Nigeria is not a poor country. This strike is for the good of everyone. Some of us have children and wards in public universities, we too are affected by the strike, but something needs to be done. But the students are saying that there should be other alternative apart from the strike. What other alternatives do we have? They should come out and suggest...

AHEAD of the 2015 presidential election, Igbo youths have vowed not back President Goodluck Jonathan's re-election bid unless he fulfills his 2011 campaign promises to the South-East geo-political zone. According to the youths, of 10 promises, the President as of now is only tackling one and appears bent on shifting the rest to his second term, which they said was not fair. In a chat with Vanguard, Evang Elliot Uko, President of Igbo Youth Movement, IYM, an amalgam of 42 Igbo youth groups, said Jonathan had not really appreciated the massive support Ndigbo gave him in 2011. His words: "We expected massive industrial and infrastructural development. We are not seeing that. We thought he would keep his promises. From the way things are going, it is clear that only the Enugu International Airport could materialize before 2015. "He promised us at Enugu Stadium, at Imo, Ebonyi, Abia and Anambra campaign rallies, 29 months ago, that we wou...
