Ighalo blames goal drought on Eagles

-

SUPER Eagles forward, Odion Ighalo has blamed his involve­ment with the Super Eagles for the goals drought that befell him in his club, Watford.
Ighalo who equally fired blank in the Eagles said travelling home to honor national team call made things difficult for him.
The 25-year-old striker who is on the shop list of top EPL sides stated in an interview granted From The Rookery End Podcast that the international week was very tiring.
In his words: “After you play at the weekend you have to fly to and play with the national team. You then play twice in six or seven days after a long flight. I remember that [in March] I flew from here to Ni­geria. It was seven hours. Then we flew to Egypt, back again to Ni­geria and then back to England. It was really difficult and telling on me. We are humans, not robots. So it’s really tiring. But what can you do? It’s your national team. We are all working to represent the national team.”
Meanwhile, Ighalo would be al­lowed to leave Watford this sum­mer if the money is right, Watford sports consultant, Nicola Salerno disclosed. “Everything will depend on what offers we get for Ighalo,” Salerno told Africanfootball.com.
“He is an extraordinary player, who could interest a lot of clubs. He has done really well this sea­son, scoring so many goals.” This may ignite battle for his signature between Arsenal and Manchester United, according to The Daily Star.
Ighalo had scored 14 Premier League goals this season, but just one of those had come in the sec­ond half of the campaign.

Fast rising Yoruba actress, Mimisola Daniels, became more known when it was alleged she had replaced Toyin Aimakhu in the life of her estranged husband, Niyi Johnson. In fact, so many people went to town with the gist that Niyi had got over Toyin since Mimi (as she is fondly called) entered his life. And to make the story look more credible, a picture of Niyi proposing to Mimi went viral thus making more people believe there was really something going on between the two. However, in a recent chat with  Saturday Beats , Mimi claimed the picture was a location photo taken while on set. “No, I am not engaged to him, the picture that went viral with him proposing to me happened on set of a movie,  Risk (Ewu) produced by me. He is a senior colleague and a friend. I addressed the controversy the next day when I found out it was all over the news, even Niyi Johnson did but the bloggers who went on saying I was engaged to him didn’t say it happened in a movie. We both deb...

Emmanuel Ikubuese became popular when he won the Mr. Nigeria contest few years ago. But now, his popularity somewhat went a notch higher with his ‘sex’ role in  Fifty , a Mo Abudu movie. Of course, the sex scene he played in the movie got many buzzing with not a few people wondering aloud how Ikubuese could be so brazen in the movie. Explaining his role, Ikubuese said it was it was a job and he had to do it very well. “I see acting as an art and you need to prove yourself. The film does not have anything to do with our cultural values.  Fifty  has a vision and the vision is not only to sell in Nigeria but an international vision to show the world.  I believe movie is about bringing life into an act.” However, Ikubuese said he had hoped his parents didn’t get to watch the movie and see the role he played. “Actually, I didn’t want them to see it, they always come out to watch my movies at the cinemas but I did not tell them about  Fifty . But it was s...
