I Was One of The Reasons Why US Barred Nigeria from Visa lottery Eligible Countries – Kemi Olunloyo

Nigerians bombarded me with questions today on why the visa lottery ended. Did I not tell you that I was one of the reason it was gonna END? Why does America need Nigerians? Our people have killed their wives. 17 Green Card lottery winners were in the bloodbath of wife killing across the years in the USA, Nigerian youth are continuously scamming Americans, our people hate gays and lesbians and we even have one terrorist over there serving a life sentence.
So when I wrote the State department in 2012 and posted the letter on Facebook you were all cussing me out that I am discouraging opportunities for others. Come on, you guys ruined this country for people like me that lived 30 years in America and came home to violence in 2006 forcing me to flee back thru Canada. The Canadians aren’t wanted either. So now, Nigeria and some other countries will no longer be eligible to participate in the America Diversity Visa lottery program. I am very happy because it will give Nigerians the opportunity to build their own country.
Information from the United States Department of State sighted on Sunday said Nigerians and citizens from few other countries were not eligible for DV-2015
The department said Nigeria was excluded since over 50,000 Nigerians had immigrated into the United States in the last five years.
The department listed other countries not eligible as Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China (mainland-born), Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador and Haiti.
Others are India, Jamaica, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, South Korea, United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) and its dependent territories, and Vietnam
However, many African countries would continue to enjoy the lotto.

Ha! Ha! Stay home and fix your country.

Nigeria vs Ethiopia: Elegbeleye Warns Eagles

The Director General of the National Sports Commission, Gbenga Elegbeleye said that he was relieved that Nigeria would be playing against Ethiopia in the 2014 World Cup qualifier instead of traditional heavyweight nations like Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana or Egypt.

He however added that facing Ethiopia would bring up fresh challenges and excitement.

He urged Stephen Keshi and the players to treat the match against Ethiopiawith all the seriousness the two-legged encounter deserved in order to ensure that Nigeria booked a place in the finals in Brazil. The former legislator who received the news of the final play-offs with satisfaction added that the Eagles should not underrate the Ethiopians, who according to him, are also a strong side in African football.

He said, “This pairing is nice if we consider the fact that we were able to avoid the big names in African football like Cameroon, Egypt, Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana but that doesn’t mean that we will stroll over Ethiopia to get the World Cup ticket.

“We all watched how well the Ethiopians played against the Super Eagles in the last group match of the last Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa which eventually ended in 2-0 Nigeria’s favour. One may say that if not for the individual brilliance of Victor Moses the Ethiopians could have held Nigeria to a draw.

“I believe we have the edge and quality players in the Eagles to deliver the World Cup ticket by beating Ethiopia.”

Elegbeleye said the NSC would fully back the team.

“I am also assuring the Nigeria Football Federation and the Eagles that the National Sports Commission will do all we can to support the team to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.”

Ronaldo Renews Contract With Real Madrid

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has renewed his contract with the club, which had been due to expire in 2015, the Spanish giants confirmed on Sunday.

The Portuguese international will attend a ceremony at 1:45 pm (1145 GMT) with Real president Florentino Perez at Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu stadium to mark the renewal of his deal, the club said on its website.

The 28-year-old’s record since joining Madrid from Manchester United for a then world record 94 million euros back in 2009 has been phenomenal with the Portuguese scoring 203 times in 203 appearances.

Real Madrid did not give details of the contract extention, but Spanish newspaper El Pais reported that the deal will run until 2018 and make Ronaldo the best paid player in the world.

“The salary of the player will be close to 20 million euros, making him the best paid footballer in the world,” it said.

Four-time World Player of the Year Lionel Messi was the previous highest paid player in Spain with a salary of 16 million euros a season.

The deal ends a series of drawn out negotiations that began back at the end of the 2011-12 season.

Speculation then mounted that the Portuguese would leave the Spanish capital after he said he was “sad” in September last year and was believed to be upset at the lack of support offered to him by the club in his quest to reclaim the Balon d’Or, which Messi has won for the past four years.

However, any chance that Ronaldo could make a sensational return to Manchester United or indeed to big-spending French duo Paris Saint-Germain or Monaco now seems a long shot with the player set to under contract until he is 33.

Despite the speculation, Perez was always confident that the player would renew his contract and end his career at Real.

“Ronaldo wants to retire at Real Madrid, and we want him to retire here, just like [Zinedine] Zidane and so many other great players did,” Perez said in July when asked about the reports that Ronaldo was planning to leave the Spanish side.

Since then Perez has splashed over 90 million euros once more on Gareth Bale.

The Welshman’s transfer from Tottenham was finally sealed at the start of September and he made his debut for the club alongside Ronaldo on Saturday, with both men scoring in the 2-2 draw at Villareal.

Bale is just the latest in a string of “galactico” signings, Real president Perez has made during two spells in charge of the club, in a drive to boost their commercial revenue and success on the pitch.

Auditors Deloitte’s latest Money League report showed that Real had become the first football club to generate more than 500 million euros a year, whilst Forbes ranked them as the most valuable sports team in the world last month with an estimated value of $3.3 billion.

MOURINHO: IT CAN BE A VINTAGE LEAGUE

Posted on: Sat 14 Sep 2013

Jose Mourinho has consistently stated he believes six clubs are genuine title challengers this season, and nothing that happened before the transfer window closed has changed his mind.

In general, the Chelsea manager rates the other top clubs as stronger than last season. Manchester United kept together the player that won the championship and added Marouane Fellaini, a player who knows the requirements of the league and David Moyes well.

Last season's runners-up, Manchester City, have supplemented an already impressive group of players with new names who are at the peak of their careers rather than works in progress, and Liverpool can only benefit from three wins out of three so far.

'Brendan [Rodgers] did his work well with what he has at his disposal,' Mourinho says, 'and a good start is always a good start.

'A good start is always very motivational, it wakes up the people around the club and creates something buzzing around, so it is very important for them.

'Tottenham of course lost the player of the year but they bought incredibly. They spent a lot of money and despite losing a player like Gareth Bale, they have two teams.'

It was Arsenal who at the last moment made English football's big signing with the transfer of Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid, a player Mourinho knows well, but he already ranked the Gunners as potential champions.

'You look at their players and Theo Walcott is not a 17-year-old boy anymore. Jack Wilshere is a starting player for England. Santi Cazorla is a European champion. We are not speaking about that young team that we played at Cardiff in a Carling Cup final.

'They are a team with top players and with the most experienced manager in the Premier League, so they were title contenders without Mesut.

'When they lost the first match against Villa, I told people that defeat means nothing because they have a good team and after that, they started winning matches and some of them very difficult ones, butMesut Ozil is a fantastic player so they are better.

'My squad is a very good squad too. I have solutions for every position with a good balance between the experienced players and the young boys with great quality to develop.

'So I think we can have a great Premier League when speaking about the contenders, but of course the other 14 teams are very important for this league and they will decide a lot of things, because it is with them that we win and we lose points, and it is with them that matches become great or not so great.'

Chelsea made an offer for Wayne Rooney this summer but no transfer materialised and by and large the leading clubs have not purchased English players. Mourinho has a suggestion why.

'It can be for different reasons but financially the situation is not simple,' he says.

'I like a young English player, and the market is closed but I asked a question to understand a little the position where he is in the market. We are speaking about a very young player and it is like he has 50 caps when he has zero caps. The price for English players is very high, the market is very difficult.'

That, Mourinho believes, is due to the financial stability of clubs in England compared with some elsewhere, including big outfits in economic difficulties who are not in a position to resist offers for their players.

'It is a healthy situation for English clubs and from that point of view it is good,' he adds.

Now the identity of his squad is fixed, it is a straight-forward case of getting the best out of the group of players and winning matches.

'I don't know if I keep them happy or not, but I am happy because I have so many good players and I will let them speak on the pitch,' Mourinho explains.

'I will judge them on the pitch. I will not judge them on words, not on interviews, not on agents or parents or friends commenting in the press or Twitter or anything like that.

'I will let football speak and I will let football decide, and if one guy is the man of the match, he has to play the next match.'
