Popular TV personality Ebuka Obi-Uchendu in an exclusive interview with Pulse TV revealed how he was able to keep his relationship with his fiancée Cynthia Obianodo. According to him, he was able to keep his relationship away from the media because his fiancée is not in the entertainment industry. “I would say I was probably lucky using the word because I was dating someone who wasn’t in the entertainment industry at all. So it was easy for me to be with her, and have moments with her that nobody really knew about” he told Pulse TV. When news of his…

Hollywood actor Will Smith said he is considering running for the office of the President of the United States. The top actor revealed his political ambition last week during an interview with CBS correspondent Tracy Smith. “If people keep saying all the crazy kinds of stuff they’ve been saying on the news lately about walls and Muslims, they’re going to force me into the political arena” said the Men In Black actor. Will Smith was referring to Donald Trump and his outrageous statement that he would ban Muslims from entering the United States if he gets elected. “I gotta be…

Well looking at Denrele’s tweet today (December 16), it seems that Denrele is finally coming out of the closet. Denrele Edun tweeted a picture of him and an unidentified man in a bathroom.

The picture has raised eyebrows, but Denerele’s words in the tweet are indicating that…
Super Eagles midfielder Mikel Obi could be on his way to Turkish giants Galatasaray in the January transfer window. Mikel has been a bit-part player at struggling Chelsea, having made just nine appearances this season. Mikel also made just six league starts in Chelsea’s title-winning campaign last year due to the form of first-choice defensive midfielder Nemanja Matic. According to talksport, Galatatasary are now planning to make contact with Chelsea in the coming days to try and agree a fee for the 28-year-old. Mikel’s current deal with the Blues runs until 2017 but the club are unlikely to offer him…
The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has released the final list of nominees for various categories of the 2015 Glo-Caf awards with the Super Eagles noticeably missing from the team of this year’s nominees. There is also no Nigerian player in the top three for the prestigious African Player of the Year ( APOY) award.

However, Nigeria were nominated in the Women Player of the Year category as well as getting nominations in…
Aston Villa face plenty games against three other clubs down at the bottom end of the Premier League over the Christmas period with manager Remi Garde calling them “must-win” games. Bottom club Villa are without a league win for 15 games and Garde knows that dismal run must end over the congested holidays fixtures if their battle to stay in the top flight does not start to look like mission impossible. Garde’s men take on 15th-placed Newcastle United on Saturday and are also up against Norwich City and Sunderland soon. “I knew the size of the challenge before coming. Now…
Swansea’s actions in dismissing boss Garry Monk were “crazy” and a “very bad decision”, says Southampton boss Ronald Koeman. Monk left the Liberty Stadium on Wednesday but guided the Swans to eighth place in the Premier League last season. “He can’t do every season what he did last year,” Koeman said. “It’s not what Monk deserves. Why couldn’t he turn it around?” Koeman was widely praised for leading the Saints to a seventh-placed finish last season – one position above Monk’s Swansea – but has seen his side fail to win their last four games. He added: “It’s strange. It…
Swansea defender Ashley Williams says he has “lost a mate” after Garry Monk’s sacking as manager. Monk left the Swans after a run of only one win in 11 Premier League games. Williams and Monk had been together at Swansea since 2008, first as team-mates and latterly as captain and manager. “It’s been even more difficult than a normal kind of situation because he’s a mate – you feel like you have let him down,” Williams told BBC Radio 5 live’s Wednesday Night Club programme. “Then he goes so you have lost a mate that you see every day. It’s…
<img src="https://www.theinfostride.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Jose-Moeague. The sides have faced each other in the past two seasons and it's fair to say that familiarity breeds contempt. Last year, at the same stage of the competition, PSG prevailed via the away goals ruling. A 1-1 draw in the French capital was followed by a dramatic second leg at Stamford Bridge where former Chelsea cult hero David Luiz cancelled out a Gary Cahill goal to net a late equaliser and send the tie into extra time. Eden Hazard restored the Blues' lead from the penalty spot, but Thiago Silva levelled the match at 2-2 sending PSG…
Manchester United have a clause in place to recall James Wilson from his loan spell at Brighton, the Championship side’s manager Chris Hughton has revealed. Wilson, 20, joined Brighton until the end of the season last month and has already scored two goals in four appearances for the club. United’s problems up front have been well documented this season, having scored just 21 goals in 16 Premier League games, so recalling the striker could be an option for Louis van Gaal. Under the rules of any such arrangement a player cannot return for the first 28 days, meaning Wilson could…
It is a strange moment for Manchester United. There was a time when it seemed that all that needed to be fixed was the team’s midfield, yet now there are considerable concerns over the defence and the attack too. “Considerable” might seem to be a strong word, given the club’s fourth place in the Premier League table, but there is a sense of stagnation that suggests the team are unlikely to rise much higher on the domestic or European stage if things continue as they have been. A compelling question is why, after so much investment, there is still so…
It feels like a long time since Manchester City were unbeaten in the Premier League and were putting in the kind of performances that made it appear as if they’d win the competition at a canter. Five games into the campaign, City fans were beginning to feel like their club could make this one of the most dominant top flight seasons in the last 20 years. But from the moment Manuel Pellegrini’s side conceded the equaliser in their 2-1 home defeat to Juventus in September, the team have been on a downward spiral — and it’s largely come because of…
With Barcelona currently in Japan for the FIFA Club World Cup, the players decided to put on a bit of a display for the sparse crowd watching them train in Yokohama by unleashing a few trick shots at a miniature goal set up on the opposite touchline. However, when you happen to have Lionel Messi in your team, most skill challenges rarely last longer than a few minutes — the Argentinian star stepping up and nonchalantly tucking one away from 50 yards at the first attempt. The rest of us should really just give up.
It is not unusual for Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard to strike a discordant note. England spent a decade waiting in vain for them to click as a central midfield partnership so perhaps it is no surprise that, on the subject of Aaron Ramsey this past week and a half, their opinions have jarred. Ramsey’s performances since assuming a central role for Arsenal in the wake of Santi Cazorla’s long-term injury have engaged the brains of two of the greatest Premier League midfielders. Last week, speaking ahead of Arsenal’s 3-0 Champions League win over Olympiakos, Steven Gerrard first championed Ramsey…
Madrid city officials have rejected Real Madrid’s plans to upgrade the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. The city says it will only accept a remodelling proposal that does not affect the interests of local citizens. A Spanish court earlier this year annulled permission granted to Real Madrid by the previous city government, saying it broke Spanish land use law. The city said on Wednesday that a new project will only be considered if it is “in the best interests of the general public.” Real Madrid wanted to remodel the stadium’s exterior, and add a hotel and a shopping centre. Opened in 1947,…
