Mr. Universe Nigeria Season 2 gains momentum in Lagos

Accomplished, striving as well as aspiring very charming and very sexy young men from all corners of Nigeria have started gearing up as the quest of who becomes the next Mr. Universe Nigeria 2013; one of the nation’s biggest male pageants draws closer.

The event, which was recently activated in Lagos is exclusively for Nigerian males between the ages of 17-28 years who either live in Nigeria or outside the shores of the country.

The 36 year old Egyptian referee who officiated the match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Chipolopo of Zambia on Friday January 25th, has been dismissed from the on-going 2013 Africa Cup of Nations as a result of poor officiating.

Ghead Grisha awarded a controversial penalty to Zambia in the 85th minute which enabled them draw level in the group C match.

The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF immediately sent a protest letter to the Confederation of African Football, CAF, asking the football governing body to look into the questionable call by Grisha.

A top official of CAF said today that Grisha 'has been sent home. He will have no further action at this Cup of Nations. His decisions did not tally with best practices of the refereeing profession and we would not allow anyone to start re-writing the rules of the game here'

2015: Asari, Boyloaf, Ateke, others cannot blackmail Jonathan – Ajube

As intrigues preceding the 2015 presidential election continued to play up, strong indications emerged weekend that the Presidency has succeeded in splitting the ranks of the leadership of the defunct Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND.
Asari Dokubo, Ebikabowei Victor-Ben(Boyloaf), Ateke Tom and Pastor Reuben, in the past three weeks, have expressed misgivings about the reported aspiration of President Jonathan to seek re-election in 2015, saying the President had done little or nothing to deserve a re-run in the next presidential election.
They have equally called on the President to ease out some of his ministers, particularly those of the Niger-Delta Ministry, Godsday Orubebe, and his Petroleum Ministry counterpart, Mrs Diezani Allison Madueke, accusing them of performance.
