Argentina beaten blue and white by Nigeria's Super Eagles.


For many Nigerians, the nation won the World Cup yesterday after beating Argentina 4 - 2 in an international friendly played in Russia. Those with that mentality have every right to. It was a thing of pride to cheer your nation on to victory against Argentina. The comedy point for me was Iwobi's kolo on Javier Masherano for the last goal of the game. I haven't ceased to wonder what escaped his lips as he humbly accepted the nutmeg. Trust me, something always escape the lips of the collector. In most cases it's ewo! I will ask Masch for confirmation.

Dear Super Eagles, help the mental and physical health of Nigerians.


I know a handful of football crazy Nigerians who have not watched the Super Eagles play over the years. The decision to avoid Eagles' games wasn't taken in isolation. No one tells a woman whose skirts were blown up by the wind in the market place that trousers are an abomination for women. For them, necessary measures were put in place to keep the heart beating and blood flowing the way it should.

Andrea Pirlo, the last of his kind.


I see football as an art. That is why I rank Ronaldinho,  Zidane and Jay Jay Okocha alongside Michelangelo , Da Vinci and Van Gogh. Anyone who does an ordinary thing in an extra ordinary fashion outside of convention is an artist. By the last sentence, I defined Andrea Pirlo. He makes the list.
