Sorry Eagles lose yet again, Fatherhood with the Doggfather, Facebook U.K probe and lots more

“Good morning my neighbours...”
“Fcuk u!”
Yes...yes, fcuk u too!
Do u remember this dialogue? It is from a very popular American movie, infact in my opinion, one of the greatest movies of all time, ‘Coming to America’, starring the very humorous Eddie Murphy and others. Well, a very good morning to y’all, hope u had a splendid night rest cos I sure did. It so good to be alive!
I am in good mood today, despite the fact that Super Eagles were defeated yesterday by Didier Drogba and his men. Eagles lost their first game 1-0 after a very dull and uninspiring game in Sekondi (somewhere in Ghana...). I am not feeling bad not because i don’t want the Eagle to win but because in my opinion, they did not deserve to win. The Ivorians were not particularly spectacular, but the Eagles were notably worse! They were playing like they were nursing a bad hangover after a drinking binge the night before. There was no creativity in the middle of the pack like what we were used to have during the days of our mercurial former skipper, Jay Jay Okocha. They just kept knocking the ball around so much that u get the feeling they had no idea of what they wanted to do with it. Just when I thought the game was probably going to end in draw, the Elephants stuck. Salomon Kalou, the Chelsea striker took on what looked like our entire defence and slotted home their first goal of the tournament. I wasn’t surprised, if we were not scoring, someone had to.
All hope is not lost however, we can still qualify if we buckle-up and win our next two games which by the way, is not going to be an easy task. Mali is going to be a tough nut to crack and the boys from Benin are no pushovers either. Let’s keep our fingers and hope for the best. I predicted a 2-1 win for the Eagles and I goofed! (lol). I guess I still need some schooling if I want to be a good soccer analyst, but honestly I don’t think I really care. I am good in some other things... that u don’t want to know about lol!
Enough of football. To other issues this morning, I caught an episode of Snoop Dogg’s new reality show, Fatherhood on T.V over the weekend and it was really cool. For those of us who have not seen the other side of Snoop apart from what we see on stage or in music videos, it was very revealing. I also got to know that despite his notoriety, Snoop actually has a close-knit family; a very beautiful wife, Shante, and three lovely kids to go with it, unbelievable isn’t it? Most hilarious, however, was the part where Snoop squared up with David Beckham on the football pitch, he was pathetically out of his element. The concept of the show is a good one and indeed very funny.
Nollywood’s delectable actress Ini Edo declared recently in an interview that she only wears skimpy clothes on set and do not wear it when she is not acting. Hear her “I don’t wear skimpy dresses when I’m going out, even if it’s a party. I prefer trousers. I can’t remember the last time I wore a skimpy skirt to a party. I would rather wear a pair of jeans trousers. I’m not very good at wearing short skirts and being conscious of the way I sit, I prefer to wear something that I would feel comfortable in. Yes I wear skimpy skirts in movies, but it’s only because of the characters that I play. I hardly wear skimpy skirts in real life.”
That’s a pity, if u ask me. That sweet figure all wrapped up in clothes...what a waste!
I read a disturbing news about the U.K probe of popular urban and youth website, Facebook over privacy issues. According to the news, Facebook's data protection policies are to be investigated by the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), after a user complained that they were unable to fully delete their profile after terminating their account. Currently Facebook users who wish to remove their profile are given the opportunity to deactivate their account. However, although the information from deactivated accounts is no longer accessible, it remains on Facebook's servers so the account can be reactivated at a later date. According to Facebook, this is in "full compliance with UK data protection law" and the social-networking site says it does not use the information from deactivated accounts. "We take the concerns of the ICO and our user's privacy very seriously and are committed to working with the ICO to maintain a trusted environment for all Facebook users and ensure compliance with UK law," said a statement from the site. Facebook advises its users to "log in and delete all profile content" but this concerns the ICO as it can be a very laborious process.
I know a lot of Nigerians are users of Facebook, I am myself so I just felt u should hear about this. As for me sha, nothing do me cos i no get anything to hide. Anybody wey wan check my profile content can go right ahead lol.
So folks, i gotta run, but I will be back so join me tomorrow same time, same station for another wonderful package of the programme... come to think of it, I will certainly make a very good T.V/ radio personality. Soundcity, STV and the others... watch out for the newest kid on the block! lol.
Do have a wonderful day today and make sure u make someone smile, it is worth the trouble.
