![]() Kelechi Iheanacho begged and sneaked into viewing centres in Nigeria just to watch the English Premier League as a child. He endured a very difficult childhood in Nigeria, but now serves as a hero figure for kids who are eager to catch a glimpse of him. Iheanacho revealed he couldn't afford to pay N50 as a child to watch the English Premier League. According to him, he most times have to sneak in or beg just to have a glimpse of the action as his parent also couldn’t afford a television at that time. "We didn't have the money. "Maybe after the game I'd hear the scores and all that. I'd be at home playing football and my friends would come back after being there to tell me. We didn't have a television at home. "Sometimes I watched the Spanish league – it was a bit cheaper, maybe N30. But the Premier League was N50. Sometimes I'd watch the Premier League if I found the money, or I'd go there and beg them to let me in. Or sneak in for the second half and pay half the money." He revealed the hardship his family went through when he lost his mother. "It was hard for us when my mother left us. We couldn't do anything so I said to myself "move on and keep working hard. "She makes me work harder. When I'm not doing something right, or when I'm not playing or working hard enough, then I remember her. She pushed me to work hard. "There are jobs (back home) but football has always been with me. When I was growing up they didn't want me to do it because my mother was a teacher- they wanted me to go to school. But I love football and wanted to play – they wanted to stop me but couldn't. "They wouldn't allow me to play outside after school but I went out anyway. Maybe I lost a bit of focus om my studies. "It's amazing when you go back home now, when you remember how you were before. You go back home and all those people are calling your name, shouting. I get mobbed by the kids. They want to see you want to know you." Now a first team player with City, Iheanacho described playing alongside Yaya Toure a dream come thorugh. He said: "I support Barcelona because I watched the Spanish league. I saw Yaya (Toure) playing for Barcelona… And now I'm playing with him. It's a dream come true. "I have to be my own man but he is a big influence in Africa. He has done a lot in Africa and I hope to do that as well. "I wasn't expecting that. I was working with the EDS (Elite Development Squad). He (Manuel Pellegrini) said I was going with them to Australia in pre-season and after we came back I was in the first team. I was a bit surprised. "You feel a bit nervous, these are great players. It's important to listen. "I'm happy playing with them now and they give me confidence to play, they encourage me a lot. That doesn't mean I'll disrespect them or feel I'm one of them now. I wouldn't just do anything I like – I've got to keep my head down, keep working hard." Up #ManCity. Wish u d best at leicester. 1 Like |

Mr. Kanu was arrested in 2015 on an 11-count charge bordering on terrorism and treasonable felony. Justice Binta Nyako, said that she was convinced that Kanu was ill and needed more medical attention than the Nigerian Prisons was giving him. Justice Binta Nyako however gave 11 conditions which Mr. Kanu must fulfill to be released on bail, and to continue to enjoy the temporary freedom. — Mr. Kanu must not hold rallies. — He must not grant interviews. — He must not be in a crowd of more than 10 people. — He must provide three sureties in the sum of N100 million each. — One of the sureties must be a senior highly placed person of Igbo extraction such as a senator. — The second surety must be a highly respected Jewish leader since Mr. Kanu said his religion is Judaism — The third surety must be a highly respected person who owns landed property and is resident in Abuja — The IPOB leader must deposit his Nigerian passport — He must also deposit his British passport with the court — He must provide the court with reports on the progress of his health and treatment on a monthly basis. — The order for him to deposit his Nigerian and British passports also mean he cannot travel out of the country (If this is considered, it is the thirteenth condition). Maybe the Judge who gave these orders is no more......#Lawless #Country... Free the niccur biko! |

This coward however was giving 12 conditions which he must fulfill before bail, and to continue to enjoy the temporary freedom. The conditions are: — Mr. Kanu must not hold rallies. — He must not grant interviews. — He must not be in a crowd of more than 10 people. — He must provide three sureties in the sum of N100 million each. — One of the sureties must be a senior highly placed person of Igbo extraction such as a senator. — The second surety must be a highly respected Jewish leader since Mr. Kanu said his religion is Judaism — The third surety must be a highly respected person who owns landed property and is resident in Abuja — The IPOB leader must deposit his Nigerian passport — He must also deposit his British passport with the court — He must provide the court with reports on the progress of his health and treatment on a monthly basis. — The order for him to deposit his Nigerian and British passports also mean he cannot travel out of the country (If this is considered, it is the thirteenth condition). How effective are the Laws giving to this man by the federal high court in Abuja? They won't react to this nonsense... Foools 1 Like 2 Shares |

From my own viewpoint, the mother thought the niggah was rich; maybe he had been buying the girls stuffs and that was why her mother took the matter slightly before the issue of pregnancy came in. Come to think of it, your 13-year-old daughter is sleeping with a man and "you keep warning her to face her studies".. Lol. For the mother to have demanded 800k, that tells a lot. The niggah only deceived 'em.. Career ruined! Lesson for aspiring mothers on Nairaland. 3 Likes |

I sometimes do not blame these ignorant gangrels called Igbos when matters of no importance like this arise here; I blame the Yorubas for devoting their time to those wrongheaded yardbirds. Haven't we had a bellyful of their moaning enough? These badly educated thugs are only condescending reluctanctly with great sense of affront our superiority.. Giggles! Let them continue to bicker over irrelevant issues... Yorubas are their headaches and never in their miserable life will they be able to meet up. If they need our support, then they should accost us like people with IQs - then we can help their so-called dream come through... As for that good-for-nothing old slowpoke insulting Tinubu, even if I should insult you, I doubt if you are bright enough to understand the simplest insult I will throw at you, buffle-headed march warden with the physiogonomy of an irrawaddy Dolphin. Anyway, When a true genius appears in matters like this, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces around are all in confedracy against him.. Impalas. God Bless Nigeria! |

I am totally dumbfounded... Wait, are these netizens supporting what the white man did really Nigerians? Nigerians!!! Stupidity is also a GIFT from God to us but please make una no dey misuse am.. Darn! Have we suddenly become a scardy cat in our own territory again? Nigerians will continue to answer for their foolishness, can a Black man threaten a white man in his country... And even involve the cops? Well, sometimes I do not underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups, for me, what I read is totally a no-no and this should be the last ultimatum for that perhendinancer threating Nigerians! 2 Likes |

Five factors sometimes responsible for this act..
1. The foundations are too weak
2. The building materials aren't strong enough
3. Workers make mistakes
4. The load is heavier than expected
5. The strength isn't tested.. |

Know what to look for if you suspect your pet is bitten by a snake: Sudden yelp of pain, especially if your dog is playing in a potentially infested area Rapid swelling on the legs or face Apparent, intense pain Fang/puncture marks Oozing blood at puncture Drooling Rapid breathing Dilated pupils Pale gums Weakness Collapse Treating a Rattlesnake Bite on a Dog Stay calm. If possible, identify the kind of snake responsible for the bite. Restrict your dog’s activity — this will reduce the effect of the venom. Seek immediate veterinary treatment. Your vet can determine the amount of toxicity injected by the reaction of your dog and/or blood tests. If a veterinarian is not immediately available: Administer diphenhydramine, an antihistamine such as Benadryl, to reduce the allergic reaction from the snake bite. If the bite was to the throat, temporary airway support may be necessary. Medication for pain should be administered. Medication for infection will be necessary. Seek professional medical treatment as soon as possible. Recovery will depend on response time and treatment. Most dogs survive crotalidae bites with few if any complications. DO NOT use a tourniquet. Restricting the blood flow may cause serious tissue damage. DO NOT cut an “X” and attempt to suck the venom out. Human saliva contains bacteria that can create a greater infection. Remember, your dog is suffering and may be in shock. Even the most docile dog can bite out of fear and pain. Protect yourself and your pet from additional harm. 7 Likes 1 Share |
