‘Hey You’, ‘I have been wanting to write you for some time now, and while I sit here, waiting to board a flight to Abuja, I have finally found some time to squeeze a few words in. How are you? Hope you had a wonderful Easter? I spent mine with family and the holiday seemed a tad too short I must say. Now let’s get to the real shit! When I said ‘Eva Alordiah live 1′ was my last show as a music artiste, what I meant to say was I’m ending that chapter where I played out the role…

This is what she said below…. So my darling little ‘friend’ Wizkid came on my IG page this morning to blast me for writing yesterday that he was given quit notice at the Lekki home he claimed he bought some years ago, which he actually rented. He threatened to beat me up…called me an ugly old bitch…(I’m ugly? lol) says I don’t have a man (crying over that..) and called my mum a loser…(what a child). Anyway, all that don’t matter, people have said worse to me…what I wanted to address is the part where he said I slept with…

He’s found love with his new lady, Daphne Joy; his career seems to be on the right track, and he’s basically just living the life. Revealing the secret of his amazing physique to E! News, he reveals that he keeps a strict, lean diet, filled with proteins and low in carbs. “It’s really just being strict within reason,” Derulo advises. “…I was kind of doing just like those crash diets where I was going hard, going hard, going hard.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic would not be a good fit for Bayern Munich, according to sporting director Matthias Sammer. Ibrahimovic’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain is set to expire in June, and the Sweden international has been persistently linked with a move away. Serie A, the Premier League, MLS and the Chinese Super League have all been touted as possible destinations, but Sammer thinks it is unlikely the 34-year-old will end up at Bayern. “At this stage we’re relatively passive in our thoughts. Speaking logically, this would mean to have another striker,” he told Sky Sport ahead of Bayern’s 1-0 win over Eintracht…
Robert Lewandowski felt Bayern Munich’s 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at the Allianz Arena was far from the best spectacle the home fans will see this season. Bayern controlled the clash with their relegation-threatened visitors, and a spectacular overhead kick from Franck Ribery in the 20th minute was enough to seal the victory. Frankfurt goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky made saves from Juan Bernat, Xabi Alonso – who also hit the crossbar with a free-kick – and Thomas Muller in the second half, but Pep Guardiola’s men were unable to add to their tally. Lewandowski conceded that Bayern’s players were already thinking…
He is a winner of six La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues but Real Madrid great Raul could not find himself in a team ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Raul was asked to name his ideal fantasy side, which unsurprisingly included Madrid’s Ronaldo and Barcelona’s Messi after labelling the pair as “simply the greatest” ahead of Saturday’s blockbuster La Liga Clasico. Once Madrid’s all-time leading goalscorer (323) and the Champions League’s record scorer (71), Raul watched Ronaldo shatter both of his achievements, while Messi has also netted more goals in Europe’s premier competition. “They are simply the…
Angel Di Maria says he left Manchester United for Paris Saint-Germain to win trophies and has not seen anything this season to make him think he made an incorrect decision. The Argentina international, 28, also felt Louis van Gaal’s decision to move him into different positions hampered his chances of settling in the side following his 2014 move from Real Madrid in a £59.7 million deal. After starting only 20 Premier League matches, he joined PSG for a reported fee of £44.3m last July and has already won Ligue 1 as Laurent Blanc’s men chase an historic quadruple. “It’s more…
Laurent Blanc is unsure if Paris Saint-Germain’s 4-1 rout of Nice was the perfect dress rehearsal for their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Manchester City. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was at his brilliant best as his hat-trick inspired the Ligue 1 champions to a comfortable win at the Parc des Princes on Saturday, David Luiz also on target on for the hosts. With the title already sewn up, PSG’s main focus is on making the breakthrough in the Champions League, where they are looking to make the semi-finals for the first time since the takeover of wealthy owners Qatari Sports Investments…
Adrian Ramos came off the bench to score a priceless late winner for Borussia Dortmund as Thomas Tuchel’s side edged a thrilling 3-2 victory against struggling Werder Bremen. The substitute’s intervention proved a crucial one for Dortmund, who remain five points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich, after Pep Guardiola’s side defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 earlier on Saturday. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave Dortmund the lead shortly after half-time with his 23rd league goal of the season, the Gabon international chipping Felix Wiedwald after Henrikh Mkhitaryan played him through. The lead did not last long as Bremen hit back swiftly, Gonzalo Castro diverting…
Javier Mascherano believes Barcelona “were not smart enough” after suffering a 2-1 Clasico defeat at the hands of rivals Real Madrid on Saturday. Barca took the lead approaching the hour-mark at Camp Nou courtesy of Gerard Pique’s header but Karim Benzema tied things up six minutes later with a stunning overhead kick. Sergio Ramos was sent off with seven minutes remaining for a second bookable offence but Cristiano Ronaldo produced a brilliant winner for 10-man Madrid just two minutes later. Mascherano lamented Barca’s inability to hold on in the final stages and rued their missed opportunities in front of goal.…
England manager Roy Hodgson expects Wayne Rooney to be one of the first players on the plane for Euro 2016 but warned the captain that his spot in the starting XI is not certain. Rooney has been out of action since February after suffering knee ligament damage, missing England’s international friendlies against Germany and Netherlands last month. In the Manchester United skipper’s absence other players pressed their claims for a spot in England’s Euro 2016 squad, with Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy scoring, while Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck also featured. However, Hodgson has no intention of leaving Rooney’s name…
