Its been a bit of this and a bit of that. I have had some great responses to this blog (even though y'all keep forgettin that I want them comments ON THE BLOG!!!!)
Anyway, thanks guys and keep em coming.
Its a new week and time to look ahead, after the horrors of last week. I live in Ajah area of Lagos, and with all the political and other wars going on, going home from work this past week has been nothing short of horific.
On two occasions, I have seen dead bodies on the highway as I go home from work. Early in the week, my driver was robbed at the bus-stop on his way home after dropping me off. The fighting rascals dispossessed him of his cell phone and a few other valuables. At least he got away with his life.
Can someone please beg these guys to stop it already! Going home this past week has been a case of courage under fire. On Tuesday night, I had to even go catch a movie while i waited for reports that the fighting had abated before I could go home.
Serious.
Enough of that, though. Lets take look forward to a better week ahead but not before taking a look back at what has been, well, a weekend that will put a pendulum to shame.
Football wise, its been great! (Yeah, you knew I was going to go there didnt you? Sorry to the ARSEnal and Ghana fans in advance cos am launching into you like you wouldnt believe. Ha ha).
Anyway, it so happened that Man United started it all off with a 4-1 pounding of Bolton, with some irresistible performances by the two Rs, Ronaldo and Rooney that left me dancing a jig and begging for more.
And then the Golden Eagles went through Ghana's Black Starlets like they didnt exist. BTW, who are those folks who keep saying that the Eagles restored pride 'after a series of losses to Ghana?'
Helloooooo, we have only lost to Ghana once and that was in a friendly game where the real Super Eagles did not show up. The U23 games both ended in draws and Ghana only advanced on goal difference, so puhlease! Ghana still havent beaten Nigeria in a competitive fixture in 15 years, and you can take THAT to the bank!
Moving ahead, all of Nigeria's continental representatives, Nasarawa United, Dolphins and Kwara United advanced to the next round of their competitions, with Kwara coming through a nerve-jingling penalty shoot-out.
And as if that was not enough, Joseph Yobo and Victor Anichebe 'conspired' to help Everton to a 1-0 win over the auld enemy, ARSEnal!
Whew! How does it get any better????
It does and it did and it was in church this Sunday. No, I didnt hit on and get a date with that pretty girl in the front row. It was the Sermon by Pastor Segun Banwo. It felt like he was talking to me.
But that is another story.

i forr one like food but when it come to naiaj na another story
.I mean..these fools in the NFA always believe that a foreign coach is always the answer to any and all the problems just because of what Westerhof did with the eagles in '94..they negate the more pressing, underlying issue and think a foreign coach can do a 'houdini' or 'david blaine'...
It is also very distressing that this particular coach, Berti Vogts does not have any great credentials..in his last job as coach of Scotland..he was bacically 'disgraced' did i say disgraced ..the team probably won 1 match in like 20..and this the best we can afford??? shame on us, A place where your first salary is paid and that's it? Where the football organization is in perpetual chaos? So yeah if Nigeria wants a foreign, am afraid they can't do much better than a failure.personally thought Eguavoen should have been given more resources and assistance..he was not that bad!! chukwu just came to rip us off , yes na me talk
and when ghana played Nig,i was there 2 watch it, walahi, na shame i take carry my self comot 4 there, my fone didn't stop ringing from my ghanian friends......... i nearly deny nija dat day........thank God the junior eglets tried saving us from further embarassment and did well giveing them that dirty slap back, but then e dey pain me gaga, abi na lie oga risky ??since we no fit bend am like beckham. and that got me wondering that we aint seen the end of naija wonder or some miracles in football imagine beckham dey pack 250k for dolla, Chei!, some folks were born to make money o!..me i just pack degree, dey hustle like she-goat... ..especially when dude is 31 and almost at end of career!! and vicky self dey do everything to keep her man,i liked her when she was plumpy , but na him make she go trim down like that eh,,,including looking like a lizard???...good for her sha!! talkin of that man becky I'm also sure he's not the best player in the world..he just happens to be the most marketable!! we talking $250,000,000.00 see the zero as e long, abeg make i go find food eat jare, Nice blog oga Risky laterz
