And by virtue of this, the husband of the former Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria 2008(Adaeze Yobo) & the father of one (Joey Jnr) is probably set for life.

Born on October 4, 1968, Mr. Oliha would have clocked 45 in October of this year, if not for his untimely death. He apparently slumped inside the toilet and was immediately rushed to the hospital by his wife Irish Oliha, but he had given up the ghost before help could come his way.

May the soul of the dearly departed rest in peace!

VICTOR MOSES & TAYE TAIWO- PLS PLS WHAT'S THE TRUTH?

 

TAYE TAIWO

VICTOR MOSES

Some days back we came across some messages, where some Nigerian's were either joking or claiming that Russia based Nigerian left full-back Taye Taiwo was celebrating his so called ''25th'' birthday in Russia, while his supposed twin who lives in Nigeria was celebrating his ''33rd''. It was hilarious in a way, but also got us curious. Could Taye Taiwo have lied all this years and given a football age, that we all took hook, line & sinker? Does that mean that the average Nigerian footballers age including those now retired cannot be less than plus 10 of whatever age they are claiming. Meaning someone like KN is actually in his late 40's going on early 50's or AO about 40 going on to 45? Would this be the reason that many of them have not been able to really excel like they should. Is there no way, one can detect the actual (real age). If truly Taye is really 33 years old, it must mean he would soon be retiring soon and no wonder the ''laws of diminishing returns'' has set in. 

In the case of Victor Moses, who is having one of the best seasons of his life in football right now. Having moved from a relatively small football club in England, to one of the top 3 best in the UK & one of the best in Europe presently, in the shape of Chelsea FC of England. The young man contributed so well to his club achievements in only his first season there. Not forgetting he was also fantastic in Nigeria's Nations Cup win in South Africa earlier this year. The gist currently going on about is that contrary to his claim to have lost his parents a few years ago to sectarian riots in the Northern parts of Nigeria (Kaduna State to be more precise). That claim might well be very farfetched and totally away from the truth. According to some reports, his parents are said to be hale & hearty, very alive in Edo State of Nigeria presently. 

According to the old media reports Mr & Mrs Austine & Josephine Moses- supposed parents of Victor Moses, who were said to be missionaries and were supposedly killed in 2002 during the sectarian riots in Kaduna. The 11 year old had gone out to play football, only to return to a home already destroyed and parents murdered. Victor Moses hence had to travel to the UK to seek for asylum. And the rest his now history. 

With this new discovery now as claimed by Sunday Express of Sunday, May 26 to June 1, 2013 on their page 6. So what is the true situation of things? What does Victor Moses have to say about what has been discovered? Is this a case of doing all one could do, to seek for the golden fleece abroad? 

Please Taye & Victor let's know the Truth!

KESHI TAKES THE CUP

THE MAN & THE GOAL THAT MADE IT HAPPEN

It's so good we never gave them any chance. Thank God we didn't jinx them with our supports. This is one of the best times to be a Nigerian. The boys went, saw and they conquered against all odds.

We sincerely congratulate them from the bottom of our hearts. At least for the next few days, the whole Nation's attention would be shifted to the discussions on our win.  A respite sort of for many of our politicians. 

Most especially we congratulate our beloved captain- Joseph Yobo. This is a good crowning glory after all these years. The longest serving player in Nigeria's history lifted the cup after a hard fought victory over the very resilient Burkinabes. 

Congratulations again boys!!!It took 19 good years for us to win our 3rd Nations Cup and it is well worth it. 

Now let's plan ahead for the World Cup in Brazil.  You just don't know? Anything can happen, impossible is nothing!
