REJOICE DANIEL

As a kid, I always aspired big. In Jos where I grew up, I prefered to share the field with those who were quite older than me and sometime in 2001, I registered for a club to play in the Igbo League. It was a kind of drama and a surprise to my mates but I knew I could cope. Playing a lot of games for club and country is not something I consider extraordinary. It is my dream to play football for a living and get to the top. If I have to achieve my dreams I can only do that when I’m young. I am still hungry for more. I want to win the World Cup for Nigeria.

Playing for Chelsea at the final of the UEFA Champions League and winning the title is great. I realise there are Arsenal, Man United, Real Madrid fans in Nigeria, but I also know there are many Chelsea fans in Nigeria. Whatever I achieve with Chelsea,...

Last Friday, while the world mourned literary icon and academic, Professor Chinua Achebe and I remembered his fame, what came to my mind was the joke about a certain woman, in her tribute to a departed hero. The story goes that this woman, while trying to underline the fact that although the man had died, his legacy lived on, told the deceased’s wife: Although your husband is dead, his manhood is alive. While the gloaters may gloat and the mockers rejoice over this woman’s supposed wrong use of word, the truth is that the message was clear. Therefore, in borrowing from this woman, whether the story is right or wrong, I would as well say that while Achebe may have died, his manhood lives on. Before you begin to have ideas, let us look at the meaning of manhood. According to Thesaurus, manhood is the “qualities and attributes conventionally thought to be appropriate to a man, especially physical strength, courage, and determination.” Yes, as these relate to Acheb...

In fact, the Edo State born entertainer describes  herself as  “ a woman who desires  to be  loved and wooed by the opposite sex.” Speaking exclusively with WG on her love life, Karen expressed disappointment that men are not bracing up to woo her, despite the fact that she is not as difficult as they  thinkMen are supposed to woo  me. I’m a woman and I’m very soft. They shouldn’t be scared of asking  me out.  I want a decent man, and not any kind of man.” Karen  said, in a  recent chat with WG. Declaring however  that she’s still “single and ready to mingle”, Karen who only few months ago debuted as a radio personality with the fast rising Lagos indigenous radio station, Naija fm 102.7, se...
