UK man held hostage by Nigerian militia for more than six months finally released

From kidnappings in Kaduna to Somali pirates holding sailors and cargo hostage left and right even after 3 of them got sniped by SEALS, can the continent of Africa ever look darker? At least a UK family have some respite from the anarchy that's persistent in the continent. After more than six months of being held captive by Nigerian militia knows as "MEND" (Emancipation of the Niger Delta) Robin Hughes was finally released.

Nigerian Fraudsters targeting football youth

This breed of Nigerian fraudsters are a pretty despicable bunch. With scams like the Nigerian letter, you can at least put some blame on the victims due to the fact that it's mainly their greed that caused them to fall victim in the first place. But targeting innocent Nigerian kids who are naive and desperate in pursuing their dreams of playing professional football abroad is WRONG in all sorts of ways. It's pure unadulterated scum like these guys that will help Nigeria retain the infamous title of being one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

Oba Femi Martins PSA

 

Yes Marrins we know, it's a very very bad disease. Marrins is a good boy sha. Enough props for doing that PSA, even though he stated the obvious lol. Now wonder if he's going to stick around with the sinking ship that is Newcastle or move to greener pasture...most likely the former I reckon!

Person of the day-Bobby Ologun

Some of you guys have probably heard of Bobby Ologun. If not, he's kind of a big deal in Japan. The dude is friggin hirarious and quite sharp I think if it's hopefully one big elaborate ruse his act is...I truly hope it is. His shtick is based on him exploiting old skool stereo types of African gaijins in Japan by bulging his eyes out (that must hurt) from time to time and speaking Japanese in an exaggerated deep voice as he intentionally butchers the language. And the dude is milking the whole thing for what it's worth.

His career took a big hit in 06 after he allegedly assaulted one of his Ogas over fuck you pay me issues. But he seems to be making a comeback as of late by appearing on talk shows and taking part in b-list celebrity shows.

Enough props to Bobby Ologun, how many Nigerian celebrities can lay claim to being in a videogame....Bobby San can!!!

Tyson vs Ali

VS

Just had to post these bad boys up, these trailers are fuckin amazing. I watched the Tyson documentary like a week ago, and it's pretty awesome. It gave some good insight of who Tyson the actual person is. And I have to say, he did redeem himself in it a bit. Just a pity he got sidetracked with the excesses that come with fame and fortune.

Haven't seen the Ali documentary yet, but that insane trailer has asserted that he's truly the greatest!
