Cristiano Ronaldo and Arbeloa hit back at Gerard Pique over twitter mockery
Cristiano Ronaldo and Arbeloa hit back at Gerard Pique over twitter mockery
Real Madrid was last week expelled out of the Copa del Rey for fielding an ineligible player, Cherishev and Barcelona player Gerard Pique, known to cause controversy in Spanish football, went on Twitter to show his happiness at Madrid's woes. Pique posted laughing enoji on Twitter last week just after news filtered in that Madrid will be expelled from the tournament.
And just yesterday, Real Madrid Players Ronaldo and Arbeloa hit back at him. What they said after the cut...
"Pique seems obsessed with us,” said Alvaro Arbeloa after Real Madrid's 8-0 win over Malmo. “We’ll leave our wounds open and we’ll respond at the opportune moment."
“Maybe one day I’ll pop The Comedy Club on and he’ll be on there talking about Madrid.” Ronaldo replied:“the thing with Pique’s tweet is that it doesn’t even deserve a comment. It doesn’t merit the publicity. I don’t talk about these things because it’s a waste of time.”
The Adolf Hitler of our time
Photo: Donald Trump is being compared to Adolf Hitler
The Republican candidate is being compared to Hitler but apparently he doesn't care or so he claims in an interview with George Stephanopoulos on Tuesday. When asked if the comparisons doesn't give him any pause at all, he responded: "No, because what I 'm doing is no different than what Franklin Delano Roosevelt...FDR's solution for Germans, Italians, Japanese many years ago are reviled."

Floyd Mayweather reacts to Chrissy Teigen's tweet saying she hopes his pet tiger eats him
Last week boxer Floyd Mayweather shared a photo of a rare and exotic tiger from India he said he received as a gift. A lot of people had something to say about it...PETA, Social Media users and of course, Chrissy Teigen who kinda suggested that she hopes Floyd gets eaten by his pet tiger..lol
"I 'm okay with people having pet tigers because it increases their chances of being eaten by a tiger" she tweeted.
In an interview with Fight Hype, Mayweather was asked about what Teigen said about him on Twitter. He claims not to know who she is. What he said after the cut...
"The thing is I’ve never had anything negative to say about John Legend," he said. "I really don’t even know what his wife does, whoever she may be. I’ve never seen John Legend’s wife in my life. If I did, I probably just don’t remember it. But the thing is this: I’m pretty sure she has a lot going on in her life, but you know, I’m something to talk about, so that can be something else. I am something to talk about. You see, when she spoke on me, she got her name in the public eye, so that’s kind of cool of her. I said this many, many, many years ago. I’m not perfect, I can contradict myself, but I think that people spend too much time worried about what other people are doing."

We will replace Faleke as Kogi deputy governor-elect if the need arises- APC National Chairman says
We will replace Faleke as Kogi deputy governor-elect if the need arises- APC National Chairman says
Chairman of APC, John Odigie-Oyegun, says the deputy governorship candidate of Prince Audu Abubakar will be replaced as deputy governor-elect should the need arise. Odigie-Oyegun said this while speaking to newsmen in Abuja, today December 9th. Faleke, who was the running mate to late Abubakar Audu in the November 21 gubernatorial elections in Kogi State, rejected the same position after the party replaced Audu with Alhaji Yayaha Bello, who was runner-up in the party’s primaries.
"On the Faleke issue, it is rather a straightforward and easy issue; we have replaced a governorship candidate. If the need arises and subject to what the law says, we will also get a deputy governorship candidate, but we will cross those bridges as they arise but they have not arisen yet."he said
Reacting to a statement credited to Faleke that he will not be available for swearing-in on January 27, Odigie-Oyegun said
"As a political party, we simply understand the frustration that emanated from the death of Abubakar Audu. However, it is normal for us to accommodate the immediate reactions coming from the people involved. They were at the gate of victory but the gate was shut in their faces because of the unfortunate death of their mentor, Abubakar Audu, who would have been our governor in the state. So, a lot of things which normally we would not have accepted happened but we have to accept them so long that everybody will simmer down as time pass by. Wielding the big stick in a situation like this might not be appropriate, but there will be a timeline to it, enough will be enough at a certain time."he said

Conductor kills man a week before his travel date to the US over N50
Conductor kills man a week before his travel date to the US over N50
Babatunde Omoyeni, a web designer who planned to travel on the 10th of December to spend his Christmas and New Year holidays in the United States of America, has been killed in Lagos over N50.
After obtaining all travel documents, he boarded a bus on Saturday and gave the conductor N500, but the conductor told him he didn’t have N450 change, because the fare was N50. When they got to the bus stop, Omoyeni demanded his change and a fight ensued.
An Alfa in the bus intervened and the fight ended. But the conductor, who was still upset by the incident followed the victim to his house unbeknownst to the victim.
It was learnt that the conductor identified as Eletu, armed with a broken bottle, banged on the gate of the victim's house.
A source said:
“As the deceased opened the gate, Eletu stabbed him. Babatunde took to his heels, but the conductor chased him. Unfortunately, he fell down and the conductor stabbed him repeatedly,” he added.
The victim's younger sister, Blessing Omoyeni, said his brother would not have died if he was rescued on time.
She said he spent over one hour in a pool of his own blood before he was rushed to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi Araba.
She said:
“Nobody was ready to assist him to the hospital. A man had to throw himself in front of a commercial bus and asked the passengers to disembark, before he could get help. “He was rushed to LUTH, but they were turned back at the gate by a doctor who pronounced him dead on arrival around 12am.
“People started beating the conductor and almost killed him before he was rescued and taken to the Aguda Police Division.”
It was learnt that the victim’s corpse was deposited at the Isolo General Hospital mortuary.
His girlfriend, Temiloluwa Ogundayo, said Babatunde was preparing for their engagement and recounted the bizarre encounter she had with him after his death.
She said: “We have dated for over one year and he told me to meet my sister to ask for the requirement for our engagement. He said we would go there on Monday.
“On that Saturday he called me around 5pm to prepare food for him that he would soon be home. I had done everything and was waiting for him in the house till 11pm when I drifted off into sleep.
“Around 1am, he came in and slept beside me. He rubbed my head with his hand and I asked him if he had eaten his food, but he said I should not bother, that he was fine.
“I went back to sleep and it was around 6am that somebody called me and asked if I knew he was dead. I jumped up and looked around the bathroom and kitchen to know if he was there, but I couldn’t find him.”
The conductor said the victim attacked him first.
He said:
“I am also a driver and I had parked my bus at about 7pm when I saw a co-driver who offered to take me home. “It was along the way that he decided to pick passengers and there were eight of them in the bus.
“I collected money from seven of them, but he refused to pay and said he knew me on the street.
“It was at the bus stop that he broke a bottle and stabbed me in the forehead and cheek. I also got the same bottle, but unfortunately I stabbed him in the neck and he died.”
The case is still ongoing.

Suspected burglar hiding from the Police gets attacked, eaten by alligator
Suspected burglar hiding from the Police gets attacked, eaten by alligator
Authorities say a man who may have hidden as officers investigated reports of two suspicious men in a Florida community targeted by recent burglaries was killed by an 11-foot alligator.
Brevard County Sheriff's Maj. Tod Goodyear says 22-year-old Matthew Riggins told his girlfriend he would be in Barefoot Bay to commit burglaries with another suspect. Authorities received calls Nov. 13 about two suspicious men in black walking behind homes and investigated. Riggins was reported missing the next day.
Goodyear said sheriff's divers recovered Riggins' body 10 days later in a nearby lake and the injuries were consistent with an alligator attack. Authorities said Riggins had drowned and the alligator, which behaved aggressively toward divers, was trapped and euthanized. They also claimed that parts of Riggins' body were found inside the alligator.
Florida Today reports a second person has been taken into custody.
How Does Making An Extra N100,000 Monthly From Home Sound To You?
How Does Making An Extra N100,000 Monthly From Home Sound To You?
…in the fastest way possible with peace of mind, then this is going to be a very interesting piece of material for you to read.
I strongly believe everyone above the age of 20 should start a business, at least an Online Business! Most people reading this at first are at least a little curious (and sometimes skeptical) about the idea of starting an online business. But it’s not quite as mysterious as it sounds.
Firstly, what is an online business?
An online business is simply a business done with the “advantage” of the internet.
Nowadays, at least the last 8 years in Nigeria you will find that businesses which used to be purely offline, now have seen the light about using the internet to make MORE money. I’m talking about companies like Coca cola, Closeup, Guiness, Samsung, Nollywood, Dangote, Events makers etc.
Nowadays, you can buy or pay for almost anything online. From clothes, shoes, food, electronics, phones, laptops, land, holidays, school fees etc.
What do all these this tell you?
Anybody and any business can DOUBLE its profit using the internet or DOUBLE their monthly take-home starting an internet business because…
1. It’s very, very cheap for businesses to reach hundreds of thousands & even millions of customers on the internet
2. It’s quite affordable to launch or start a business using the internet than a brick & mortar business.
And the one I’d reveal to you at the LIVE event at the below dates require a low affordable N8,500start up capital:
Lagos: Saturday, December 12th 2015 at 11am.
PH: Sunday, December 13th 2015 at 4pm.
Warri: Wednesday, December 16th 2015 at 12pm.
Benin: Saturday, December 19th 2015 at 11am.
Abuja: Sunday, December 20th 2015 at 4pm.
For 2-solid hours at the cities above, I will be sharing with only 50 Smart Nigerians how I started I started an internet-based business with N8,500 and how I turned it to an extra N100,000 monthly. This internet business can be done from ANY country of the world.
Admission fee is N2,000 only. Register FREE for more information and get exact venues atwww.smartbusinessonly.com/4naija/reg100k.htm
And now back to the other three reasons anybody DOUBLE their monthly take-home starting an internet business and any business can DOUBLE its profit using the internet:
3. It’s faster and easier to succeed to make a 6 figure income with your own internet business, than it is working for someone else.
4. There are NOT enough jobs available that pay a 6 figure income.
5. Majority of the jobs available are paying peanuts
I have many friends way back from my university days who don’t make enough money to save for an emergency. If ever they get in a car accident or run into some kind of financial crisis, their lives will be very difficult.
My bosom friend’s younger sister graduated from the university six years ago and up till this moment, she is still having trouble entering the crowded job market which is currently downsizing. She feels stuck, like there’s no place to go.
It's a shame for you not to make Good Money from the internet when these men and women do it so easily in Nigeria. When a 21-year old undergraduate steps from N8,500 to N100,000 a month – when a young female graduate jumps from a meager NYSC service job to N200,000 richer – when a young man is able to drive a H3 hummer jeep from income generated from the same internet you use to browse and have fun on blogs and Facebook – then it’s a shame for you not to do equally as well.
There is nothing exceptional about these men and women. Infact they’d tell you themselves that.Many have been unemployed their entire adult lives, some have been sacked for no reason, some are undergraduates, nursing mothers, former bank workers. And then in one swift stroke they found themselves making more money than they had ever dreamed possible.
This is why on Saturday Dec. 12th at Lagos, SundayDec. 13th at Port Harcourt, Wednesday, Dec. 16th at Warri, on Saturday Dec 19th at Benin and on Sunday Dec. 20th at Abuja, I specially invite you to discover How to turn a small, One-time Investment of N8,500 into N100,000 monthly at only N2,000admission fee.

The grind of routine work – the constant struggle to obtain even a small increase at work – all this has been left behind by these men and women who used the advantage of the internet to earn an enviable paycheck every single month.
Today, we enjoy the thrill of making big money, we are no longer ruled by an office clock. We are able to stay comfortably with our kids at the hospital if admitted with no care or fear of a boss. There is genuine enjoyment in every hour of the day, for a work that is filled with real fascination. All because of the internetMeet some of us with your naked eyes…
CASE STUDY #1: Seun Ogundele
Seun is just 21 years old and he bought his neat Honda Accord (End of Discussion) car on July 8th, 2014. You may wonder how he was able to buy hisN1.8million naira worth car at just age 21?
Lol! Let me shock you more...
Will you believe if I told you that it's not his first car?
Yes! it's not. He bought one Toyota car about a year ago and just bought a new one to make it 2 cars in the garage of this young Undergraduate Student of Afe Babalola University. (He just graduated two months ago, by the way)
CASE STUDY #2: Aderonke Ogunsola- Bamidele
After her NYSC, she got her first job but began searching online for internet income opportunitieslike the one I’d reveal to you here because her salary would make anybody cry.
She then used part of her salary she’s been saving for months to buy her first laptop. Her salary was only N30,000 but today after taking up a career in internet business she now makes at least N200,000 monthly. Why would you continue to work your ass out for peanuts when an internet business is guaranteed of making you so much more?
CASE STUDY #3: Gbolagade Adetunji
Gbolagade Adetunji is just 28years old. A 2008 graduate of Library Archival and Information Science, University of Ibadan. He's into various internet businesses too. He just acquired a super clean HUMMER3 Jeep. This is a 3rd addition to his garage.
Shocked? Don't be yet...Here’s his dream house he built with over 5 rooms, with a study, clothes and shoes closet using income generated from the advantage of the internet
CASE STUDY #4: Myself of course
I could show you more and more proofs of countless young guys and ladies like myself who make money using the internet but this is NOT about them. This is about YOU!
What my friends and I have done, hundreds of others have done, hundreds are doing today, hundreds will do tomorrow. And you can be part of us but ONLY if you qualify.
Here’s How to Qualify to Make An Extra N100,000 Monthly:

3. Are you willing to follow step by step instructions to show you exactly what to do to use the internet to make some extra cash?
4. Are you living at Lagos, Abuja, PH, Warri, Benin or close to these cities?
5. If you have failed before in one online business venture or the other and you are tired of reading other people’s success stories and what a FINAL solution so you can see success?

3. Yahoo Yahoo? No!
Funny enough, when you and I hear about making money online, the first thing that comes to mind is yahoo yahoo. You have been sold a LIE. Because of the activities of criminals/ scammers online in the early years of the advent of the internet in Nigeria, many have mistaken anything online money making as scam or illegality.
It’s a shame for you not to make money so easily from the internet when others do it so easily. For example, owners of blogs such as…”you know who” are riding dream luxury cars and living in dream “luxury homes” as a result of the internet.

Indian man born with 4 legs becomes the village outcast
Indian man born with 4 legs becomes the village outcast
An Indian man who was born with four legs has become an outcast after villagers labelled him a devil.
Arun Rajput has had the two extra limbs - believed to be from an undeveloped parasitic twin - dangling from his back since birth.
But the 20-year-old says he has been forced to live the life of a recluse by those in the remote village of Farrukhabad in Uttar Pradesh, northern India.
Rajput said:
"People laugh at me. They say I am a devil. No one respects me here because I look different. But I want to be like one of them. I want to work like other man."
The unusual defect has seen Rajput face jibes and name calling while growing up and many locals said his family was cursed.
His extra limbs mean he cannot sit properly, walking has become uncomfortable and he has to have tailor made trousers developed.
But the young man says he does not want to be treated any differently from others.
"I want to do normal things and be treated like a normal person," he said.
Now, Rajput who is the eldest of four siblings, is eager to have a surgery so that he can get a good education and fulfil his dream of becoming a teacher.
Rajput's poor parents, who work as daily wage labourers on farms, had taken him to several doctors when he was a kid but returned home when they were told the surgery would cost them 'exorbitant' amount.
He added: "I want to take care of my parents. I want to study and become a teacher."
His mother Lila Devi, 45, said:
"He was born after 12 years of my marriage. We had eagerly waited for his arrival but when he was born, I could not believe my eyes.
"He was very weak. We took him to many doctors but no one took the guarantee. "People call him with bad names. It hurts me most when they call him devil.
"He is a very gentle child. Very hardworking and wants to live a respectable life. I hope he gets rid of the extra limb and can be one of us."
Rajput and his mother are now hoping for a possible surgery so he can lead a normal life.

FG to spend N500bn on social welfare programme to cater to poor Nigerians in 2016
FG to spend N500bn on social welfare programme to cater to poor Nigerians in 2016
President Muhammadu Buhari in a proposal that was contained in the 2016-2018 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper, which he sent to the National Assembly on Tuesday, stated that he is proposing to spend N500bn on a social welfare program that will cater for the needs of youths and other “vulnerable” groups in 2016.
Buhari wrote a letter to Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, and another one to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, which were read to members in their respective chambers.
The social welfare programme would be executed in phases and it would also take care of the school feeding programme initiative as well as the “conditional cash transfer to the most vulnerable and a post-NYSC grant” but did not categorically say whether it was meant to implement his administration’s promise to pay each unemployed person in the country N5, 000 monthly.
The president stated that the relief welfare programe will start next year as a pilot scheme and that his government would work towards securing the support of donor agencies and development partners in order to minimise potential risks.
The proposal stated:

This is the very last photo of Tupac Shakur, taken moments before he was shot 6 times. He was riding in a car with friend and then Death Row Records record label CEO Suge Knight, as they left a boxing match in Las Vegas. Moments after this photo was taken, a drive-by shooter gunned him down. Tupac died six days later at the age of 25. His killing still remains unsolved.
