Mourinho Blocks Mikel Moves To Leave Stamford Bridge

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has refused to sanction the sale of midfielder John Mikel Obi, delivering a blow to United Arab Emirates suitors Al Ain and Al Wahda. The Nigeria international, who started only six league games last season, wants to leave Stamford Bridge after failing to hold down a regular starting place.

The 28-year-old, who has two years left on his contract, has been told he remains part of manager Mourinho’s future plans. “There’s absolutely no truth to reports linking Mikel with a move to Turkey or any Chinese club for that matter,” a source close to the talks said. “Only two clubs from the UAE showed strong interest last month but they could not meet his club’s valuation.

“Mikel has a contract with Chelsea until 2017, as things stand he will not be leaving the club this transfer window as speculated.

”Mikel who moved to Chelsea in the summer of 2006 has increasingly become a fringe member of the squad due to the form of Nemanja Matic. With the emergence of highly-rated midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, the Super Eagle has fallen down the pecking order at the club ahead of the 2015/16 season. Fenerbahce are reportedly interested in signing Mikel but Chelsea will only listen to a US $16.8 million offer.

The Turkish club’s president Aziz Yildirim has told the local media they cannot meet Chelsea’s valuation. “Chelsea want 15 million euros and Mikel asked for €5 million a season over four years. We are talking 35 million euros,” Yildirim told reporters at their Topuk Yayla training ground.

Tragedy: 19-year-old Student Stabbed To Death In Kaduna School Hostel

A 19-year-old student of Government Technical College, Malali in Kaduna north local government area of Kaduna state, Mohammed Sani was yesterday found dead on his bed in the school hostel with machete cuts on his body.  

According to the father of the deceased, Alhaji Harisu Sani, he received a call from the Principal of the School around 4:30 am. He asked if he was the father of Mohammed Sani and upon confirmation, he was instructed to rush down to the school because his son is dead.

“Based on this, I dashed to the school thinking my son passed away in his sleep but when I arrived at his hostel, I saw him in the pool of his own blood, stabbed on the right side of his chest with a sharp object which I suspected to be a knife.’’

“What baffled me most was that there are about 200 students in the hostel and I wonder why none of them saw the killer or killers and did not raise any alarm. I believe that my son was killed by somebody within. The school authority and the state government should tell me what happened to my son because as a boarding student, he was in their custody” he said.

Mallam Sani, who resides at Michika road, Tudun Nupawa in Kaduna south Local Government, told newsmen that he is going to use all available legal means to ensure that justice is done on behalf of his son.

Speaking in the same vein, the Uncle of Late Mohammed Sani, Mallam Mohammed Kabir said from available information to the family, this is the third case of a student being murdered within the school premises and no suspect has been arrested so far.

Mallam Kabir also expressed dismay that just across the fence of the school, along Jaji road are brothels accommodating prostitutes and on several occasions, people who patronized them often scaled the fence of the school into the college for safety anytime they ran into trouble.

Kim Kardashian Nude Bodysuit Confuses, Arouses the Internet

We've seen plenty of Kim nude photos over the years.

But we've never seen Kim Kardashian nude photos quite like this before. And that's because Kim Kardashian isn't actually nude.

No matter what your eyes may tell you upon quick, initial glance.
Kim Kardashian Nude Bodysuit Photo
The reality star is featured in a booklet by System Magazine, posing for a series of sexy snapshots from back when she was rocking platinum blonde hair and walking through the French countryside.

Photographed by Juergen Teller, Kim is seen here in a stain bra over a flesh-colored one-piece, along with knee-high stockings and black boots.

Apparently Kanye West, who also appears in the shoot, selected Kardashian’s unusual outfit.
Kim Kardashian for System Magazine
Kim has been open in the past about the sort of influence her husband has on her fashion.

During an appearance on  Live! With Kelly and Michael earlier this year, Kardashian said Kanye and his stylist once threw away practically all of her clothes, leaving her “crying.”

They left her with "cool, designer stuff," though, that she has come to love.

"My style has evolved and changed. But I couldn't see it at that time," she added.

It hasn't evolved and changed all that much, really.

Imagine: Yvonnne Nelson Says Nigerian Guys can Lie for The Whole of Africa

Popular Ghanian actress Yvonne Nelson is the cover star of Genevieve Magazine’s July 2015 issue and in an interview with the magazine, she spills her gut about her relationship with Iyanya, Ice Prince and a whole lot more.



Excerpts from the interview:
On the feeling of being in love: I miss the late night phone calls, and the never-ending text messages. I miss that strong sense of desire that exists between two people who can’t get enough of each other. I miss that rush of adrenaline, the weakness at the knees and that joy that makes you laugh even when there’s nothing funny. I just miss loving someone and being loved in return.

On her next relationship: I don’t know yet. I can’t say I want a Nigerian, or a Gambian or a Cameroonian. When it happens, it happens. But Nigerian men can lie. Nigerian guys can lie for the whole of Africa. They will come with all the lies because they know that women respond to the things they hear. The lies are just so crazy. And I’m not some 19 year-old who just wants to have fun. I’m not in that place anymore. So I’m taking my time to get it right.

On her relationship with Ice Prince: I wasn’t in a relationship with Ice Prince; he was just a friend to me. I don’t understand the kind of attention he was trying to draw to himself by claiming we had a relationship. If he wanted to say the truth, why didn’t he just say it from the beginning? All along he’d been saying that we’re friends and all of a sudden he turns around to claim that it was more than a friendship. C’mon!


On her relationship with Iyanya: We did have a relationship. I loved him at a point. It just didn’t work out.

On the possibility of dating him again: Never! It’s like eating your vomit. No way! It’s not happening ever. As a matter of fact I’m not interested in anybody in the arts, because it is not the right place to invest time and emotions. A lot of entertainers have so much on their table, so they would not give the real thing. I know my values; I am loyal and straightforward, but a lot of entertainers are not like that. They would just lie to you and waste your time. That is because, like pilots, entertainers go around a lot. In every country a pilot goes to, he can decide to have a wife or girlfriend. So they can actually lead like a hundred different lives and none of these women will know.

On learning from past relationships: Don’t believe the hype. Don’t believe all the things men say. A man who is all-sexual from the very beginning is a no go area; he just wants to jump into bed into you. If a man truly loves you, and is ready to be with you, he will be there for you. Relationships are much more beautiful when it starts as a friendship. So you are able to goof around with the person. I love goofing around. I love to be myself and do funny videos. That’s why people think that John Dumelo and I have a thing, because John is such a perfect friend.


My humble oppinion:
Hello Miss Yvonne, try to be diplomatic when speaking on men generally okay....

As a public figure, you should not be talking from one side of your mouth.

Cheating in men is just their nature.....

Because it did not work out between you and Iyaya does not make all Nigerian men liers.

Awesome Movie: Kelly Rowland Joins ‘Empire’ Season 2

https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/599744132811067392/J6NJi2Mp.jpg

Season two of Empire be boring in the least as some of your favorite rappers and singers keep getting added to the show. After Chris Rock, Alicia Keys, Lenny Kravitz and Ne-Yo joined the star-studded new season, Kelly Rowland team up with Terrence Howard and Taraji P. Henson on the hip-hopera.

E! reports that the singer has signed on to play the role of Lucious Lyon’s mother. During season one, Lyon, played by Terrance Howard, routinely experienced flashbacks of his childhood. This season, he will have one that features Rowland as his mother.
 
No details have been released regarding this particular scene nor how long Rowland will appear on the show. Last month, rumors circulated regarding Rowland’s involvement with Empire when she was sighted hanging out with the writers of the show. “Hey, @KELLYROWLAND! Thank you for spending some time with the #Empire writers,” the Empire Writers tweeted along with a photo of the crew with the former Destiny’s Child member.

The addition of Rowland certainly bolsters the star power of the show. A few months ago, FOX was apparently courting the likes of Eminem and Oprah to appear on the second season. While some may consider that a pipe dream, it doesn’t seem far-fetched when it comes to Empire. Who are you most excited to see star on season two?

Empire season two arrives Sept. 23.
