Kenneth Omeruo, the man who stopped Didier drogba at AFCON 2013
Super Eagles defender, Kenneth Omueruo is set to rejoin Chelsea in
the summer after his superlative outing at the 2013 African Nations Cup
where he help the Eagles to win the trophy.
He was sent on loan to ADO Den Haag to develop his skills, but Chelsea
on the look out for replacement for aging John Terry will open talks
with the Dutch club next month to pave way for Omeruo’s return to
Stamford Bridge.
With Omeruo in line to be named in Chelsea’s first-team squad next
season, another Nigerian at the London club, Victor Moses, believes the
teenager can fit into the Blues.
“I couldn’t believe it when he said he hadn’t played in the African
Nations Cup before. He was really strong and is a good defender. He is a
great lad and a player for the future (for Chelsea),” Moses told

The misery index, a crude economic measure created by Arthur Orkum, sums
a country's unemployment and inflation rates to assess conditions on
the ground (the higher the number, the more miserable a country is). The
reasoning: most citizens understand the pain of a high jobless rate and
the soaring price of goods.
Business Insider totaled the figures
for 197 countries and territories — from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe — to
compile the 2013 Misery Index.

Ebube Nwagbo’s parents would never
have supported her if they knew when she started acting. Today, her
family is proud of the star she has become in the highly competitive
Nigerian movie industry.
“My
dad came back home one day and said he saw a poster of a girl that
really looked like me and I feigned ignorance. I told him people look
alike,” Nwagbo said, adding “I did not have the nerves to tell him it
was me. When the movie came out, I had to leave home for a while because
I did not know how they would feel. Luckily for me, the movie came out,
I acted a good role. They liked the fact that I did something nice. I
did not give them any reason to be angry, upset or disappointed in me.
“I
do not think I have given my family a reason not to be proud of me as
an actress. I think I have made them proud in many ways and they have
given me their love and support. I am not perfect, but I never forget
where I am coming from or heading to, no matter the madness and
craziness that comes with my profession.”
The Barack Obama administration took
another step toward institutionalizing gay marriage, formally asking the
US Supreme Court to strike down a 1996 law defining marriage
exclusively as a union between a man and a woman.
The
request was contained in a legal brief filed Friday with the US court,
whose nine justices will next month review whether or not to repeal the
federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which bans marriage between
homosexuals.
The document marks the first time a president has endorsed same-sex marriage rights before the Supreme Court.
According
to the filing, the Defense of Marriage Act “violates the fundamental
constitutional guarantee of equal protection” before the law stipulated
by the US Constitution.
DOMA “denies to tens of thousands of
same-sex couples who are legally married under state law an array of
important federal benefits that are available to legally married
opposite-sex couples,” read the brief signed

Another major breakthrough was reported in the search for a cure for AIDS.
After
bone marrow transplantation, two HIV-infected men have no longer any
trace of the virus that causes AIDS in their cells, researchers report.
Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cells and are a key part of the immune system.
U.S.
investigators suspect that the bone marrow transplant, together with
the continuation of antiretroviral therapy as a result of the dramatic
effects evident eight months after transplantation. They are scheduled
to present preliminary findings Thursday at the International AIDS

HIV patients receiving
antiretroviral therapy often get “an undetectable viral load” meaning no
virus particles in their blood. But they still have latent HIV in their

Pope Benedict XVI has claimed that he's resigning the papacy next week because of old age. But according to the major Italian newspaper La Repubblica, the real reason he resigned is because he did not want to deal the repercussions of a secret 300-page Vatican
dossier that allegedly found, among other things, an underground
network of high-ranking gay clergy, complete with sex parties and shady
dealings with the already scandal-ridden Vatican bank. Here's what we know:
The report sounds menacing. According to La Repubblica, the dossier comes in two volumes, "two folders hard-bound in red" with the header "pontifical secret."
Pope Benedict asked for the investigation. "The
paper said the pope had taken the decision on 17 December that he was
going to resign — the day he received a dossier compiled by three
cardinals delegated to look into the so-called 'Vatileaks' affair," according to the The Guardian's translation of the

Below is what the fast rising Yoruba actress said when asked if she believed sex is only for married couples...
I think sex is meant to be enjoyed by two people who have serious
feeling for each other. Sex is good, it is there for two lovers to enjoy
themselves and share the secrets of their hearts.
On whether one should engage in premarital sex or not, I would say,
yes. Premarital sex is okay as long as it is a safe sex. Our society
allows it. These days, you can hardly keep a relationship

If you are the type that likes money then you should have been at the ATM machine that suddenly started spewing out free cash.
Police
were eventually called to restore calm in eastern England after the ATM
was constantly distributing twice as much money than customers were
asking for.
A Lloyds TSB ATM machine in Ipswich began distributing “free money” to customers after the bank branch was closed for the night.
When

to a high ranking Benin Chief who sublet government land to the farmers.
Governor Adams Oshiomhole, during a visit to him in his office by the

you do, we will evict you from the land.”
The Governor explained that the land which the Benin Chief sublet
does not belong to him, asserting: “as far as I know, there are only two
custodians of land in Edo State. First, is that all land is vested in

Kim Kardashian revealed her two famous bumps yesterday – one in the back and one in the front.
The
mum-to-be stepped out in a skin-hugging dress that revealed her
expanding baby bump and ledge-ndary derriere in all their glory.
Her black and white dress was a hit in the fashion stakes, ticking the Spring/Summer trend of monochrome and smart tailoring.
And it also served to tease fans with a now-you-see-it, now-you-don’t glimpse of her famous body.
The body-hugging black dress was adorned with a draping white panel that covered the front – and only one side of her body.
Meaning when she turned to the other side only the clingy black material was visible.
Kim,
who is still favouring stilettos over flats, had arranged her jet black
hair into a neat bun and applied a

Terror groups have begun a recruitment
drive in the South-West with the aim of establishing cells in the zone,
Saturday Punch’s investigations have shown.
The
recruitment drive by the Boko Haram and its breakaway faction, Jama’atu
Ansarul Muslimina Fi Biladis-Sudan, it was gathered, was a prelude to
attacks they were planning to launch in the zone.
The idea is to
establish cells within the South-West to coordinate attacks within the
zone by identifying fundamentalists in the area.
A security
source, who disclosed this, said the plan to move to the South-West,
particularly Lagos, was hinged on the economic importance of the zone.
Investigations
showed that the groups reasoned that attacks on the South-West would
not only affect the country’s economy, but could also precipitate ethnic
clashes across the country.

Saudi Arabia’s notorious religious
police, known as the mutawa, swooped in on a private gathering of at
least 53 Ethiopian Christians this month, shutting down their private
prayer, and arresting the peaceful group of foreign workers for merely
practicing their faith.
The
mixed group of men and women was seized in a private residence in the
city of Dammam, the capital of the wealthy oil province in Eastern
Arabia, and Saudi authorities charged three Christian leaders with
seeking to convert Muslims to Christianity. The latest crackdown on
Christianity in the ultra-fundamental Islamic country comes on the heels
of a brutal 2011/2012 incarceration and torture of 36 Ethiopian
Christians, and drew a sharp rebuke from a U.S. lawmaker.

Discussions
over the building of a new Church on Kongo campus has ongoing been on

Mosques on the campus and that it has never denied the Muslim community

Her
death four days later on Valentine’s Day was one hell of a shock for
her fans, friends and family. Her demise evoked a volcano of mixed

In the wake of the Valentine’s Day tragedy,
damning reports began to emerge: drugs, hedonism, a little-known

Goldie’s untimely
death stirred a storm of controversies that cannot simply be wished
away. The big question revolves around her marriage. Before her death,

Chen Siyuan, a young translator from Handan, China’s Hebei province, has
the incredibly ability to write with both hands at the same time. Even
more impressive is that fact that she can write vertically with one hand
and horizontally with the other, or in two different languages.
In
this age of technology, writing with both hands is not as valuable a
skill as it once was, but that doesn’t make 24-year-old Chen Siyuan’s
ability any less remarkable. This young English translator has been
wowing onlookers with her amazing talent of writing with both
hands simultaneously, in two different languages (Chinese and English).
You’d be tempted to think this kind of unique capacity requires years of
practice, but Chen says she discovered her ability completely by
accident, during her high-school years. She was overwhelmed by the
quantities of English homework, but found that she could
