By Staff
The age-long mystery behind why men would rather go for married or engaged females, instead of the single and free ones, may have been finally unraveled by Nollywood actress and model, Moyo Lawal.
In a recent Instagram post, the beautiful actress, while sharing a post, followed it up with how she understood the post she shared.
“My male friend told me he’d rather go for a girl in a relationship because he’d only be up against one other boy. But if she was single, he’d be up against 20! Scary” said the shared quote.
“Lool. Now we know why men prefer married or engaged females..you people are just mad… True.” Moyo fumes.

Israel Adesanya angry with White South African UFC star for halting their bout
CC™ UFC NEWS
By Jide Adegoke
Nigerian-New Zealand UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya was left angry as he had to wait a bit longer for his match against Dricus du Plessis.
Du Plessis, a 29-year-old mixed martial artist from South Africa, had to withdraw from the bout initially scheduled to take place in Australia, due to a foot ailment.
The stage appeared to be set for an intriguing middleweight title fight at Sydney’s UFC 293 on September 10 after Du Plessis’ dramatic first-round victory over Robert Whittaker in their unofficial number-one contender matchup at UFC 290 earlier on July 9.
The anticipation for the forthcoming fight had heightened even before Adesanya entered the Octagon to meet his new opponent in a racially tinged battle.
The relationship between the two competitors had been strained as a result of Du Plessis’ assertions that he was the “real African” in the UFC, which infuriated the Nigerian-born competitor whose family had emigrated to New Zealand when he was a little child.
Adesanya tweeted, “I don’t even know how to start this, but Dricus DuP*ssy, you f**king b*tch.
“Your foot’s sore? My knee was jacked for my last fight. Guess what I did? I showed up because that’s what a f**king champion does. Championship caliber, built differently.”
Although Adesanya vs. Du Plessis has not yet been officially announced by the UFC, it was widely assumed that the fight would serve as the main event for the company’s first Australasian event since 2020.
Du Plessis withdrew from the title fight following Adesanya’s social media outburst on Thursday, which revealed the unfortunate news of the South African’s ailment.
After Du Plessis withdrew from the bout, Adesanya immediately asked for a replacement and issued a challenge to sixth-ranked Sean Strickland to accept the fight.

'Flashback: The narrative is always ‘White is better' - Ex-Chelsea director and former Nigeria international Emenalo on systemic racism in football
 |
| Ex-Chelsea and Monaco Sporting Director Mike Emenalo |
Former Chelsea sporting director Michael Emenalo says “the narrative has to change” if black coaches are to be given the same opportunities as their white counterparts.
The issue of racism in society has been given greater prominence in recent months following the killing of American George Floyd by a white police officer in Minneapolis in May 2020, which sparked Black Lives Matter protests across the globe.
Premier League players and staff have shown their solidarity against racism by taking a knee before kick-off at every game, while the players also have 'Black Lives Matter' printed on their shirt sleeves.
Emenalo, though, believes there needs to be a more fundamental shift in how black players and managers are perceived if there is to be true equality in football.
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo is currently the only manager from a black, Asian and minority ethnic background in the Premier League. Emenalo meanwhile is one of only two BAME technical directors in Premier League history along with Les Ferdinand, whose QPR side were relegated three months after his appointment as director of football in February 2015.
“The narrative has to change. The narrative right now is always that white is better,” he told the Guardian.
“So it doesn’t matter what Chris Hughton produces as a manager. There’s always someone saying a white guy can do it better. People need to do the right thing. Like Martin Luther King said: ‘Judge me by my competence – not my skin colour.'
“When I sit behind the bench at a game, I want to be close to my work. But it’s also so that people of my colour could say: ‘I can do that.’ People in the parking lot would say: ‘Oh my God, you don’t know what you mean to us.’ Then I feel even worse because I want to say more.”
Emenalo joined Chelsea as chief scout in 2007 following a playing career that saw him play in five countries and feature for Nigeria at the 1994 World Cup. The 54-year-old was briefly promoted to assistant coach in 2010 before becoming technical director the following year.
He would go on to spend a decade at Stamford Bridge, overseeing a complete overhaul of the club’s academy structure and being credited with the scouting and signing of players such as Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah, N'Golo Kante and Eden Hazard.
Despite those achievements, Emenalo felt he constantly had to prove himself to the 10 permanent or caretaker managers Chelsea went through in that time.
“Everybody has a misconception of my knowledge, insight and experience. I did it 10 times with 10 managers,” he added.
“Each time I climbed the hill and convinced them of my worth. I have a university degree in international relations and diplomacy. I know how to deal with people and with situations. I had World Cup experience and been part of this industry on five continents.
"I said: ‘I’ll give them an opportunity to understand me.’ They all did but it’s not easy starting from ground zero every time.”

Itsekiri leaders task Olu of Warri on tradition, unity
CC™ Global News
Worried by perceived threats to unity in Delta State, some leaders have called on the Olu Of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, and Itsekiri elders to make efforts to restore trust in the area.
The leaders, including Warri indigenes of Itsekiri extraction, also known as Iwere Consultative Forum, made the appeal in an open letter addressed to the monarch, which was made available to journalists in Abuja.
Areas of concerns to the leaders include recent installation and suspension of some chiefs in Warri. Atuwatse III, last April, installed Chief Oma Eyewuoma as the new Ologbotsere of Warri, while Chief Ayiri Emami was still in court challenging his suspension as Ologbotsere.
Emami was suspended as Ologbotsere of Warri and Chairman of Olu Advisory Council, following the crisis that followed the selection of the sitting Olu of Warri, Tsola Emiko, as Olu designate.
Also recently, there was a face-off between a prince of Warri, Prince Yemi Emiko, and a prominent elder, Mene Brown, over the latter’s comment that princes have no say in running the affairs at the Olu palace and the Itsekiri Kingdom.
Chairman of the Iwere Consultative Forum, Prince Clem Ade Omotoye and Secretary, Prince Arubi Ajofotan, in the joint letter, described the recent incidents as unfortunate and embarrassing to the Itsekiri nation.
While they argued that there had not been enough consultations in some of the actions attributed to the monarch, they pleaded that the interest of the people should be paramount.
“The question that comes to mind is: Where are the Olu’s traditional advisers, the chiefs? Where are his handlers and confidants?
“We feel that the Ologbotsere matter, should have been handled differently, with more circumspection and with more regard to Itsekiri integrity.
“The present spat between Chief Mene Brown and Prince Yemi Emiko does not augur well for some parties in the existing legal suit. We feel it does not spell well to the foundation of the coronation.”
They lamented that the situation in the kingdom is moving at a frightening pace required that something be done fast to ameliorate real and perceived wrongs and misgivings.
“Again,we must understand that Ogiame is not sovereign. He, like other traditional rulers in Nigeria, is not guaranteed special protection by the Constitution in a democratic setting, as we have in the country today.
His powers are at the behest of Itsekiri, Ogiame is the Lord of the people but Itsekiri own the Ogiame (mini mini igbo, igbo mini). His powers are derived from Itsekiri. Over time, the powers have been delicately poised to enjoy the loyalty of the people.
It is this loyalty that the Olu must strive to maintain for the crown to continue to be relevant.
“On a final note, it is our humble advice that His Majesty be wary of perambulators and or praise singers on royal corridors scavenging for royal recognition coming with different negative stories about other Itsekiris.”

Saudi Pro League (SPL) appoints former Nigerian International and Chelsea Football Director Michael Emenalo as its first Director of Football
The Saudi Pro League (SPL) has chosen former Chelsea’s Sporting Director, Michael Emenalo, as it first director of football, reports theathletic.com.
The SPL has been on a massive drive to sign top players from around the world, as well as top class coaches and managers for the league, which has become the top draw for talents because of the enormous pay to the main actors.
Emenalo occupied a similar role at Chelsea from 2011 to 2017, overseeing a hugely successful period across the men’s, women’s and academy sides at the west London club.
The former Nigeria international left back was also heavily involved in transfer activity, with the likes of Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah and N’Golo Kante recruited during his Stamford Bridge tenure.
Emenalo went on to spend two years as sporting director for AS Monaco and has since remained active in consultancy capacities.
He is regarded among the best in his field and will be responsible for helping the SPL develop frameworks and applying the kind of principles that are seen in the world’s biggest divisions.
Emenalo is expected to bring a staff with him — tapping into the expertise, experience and connections of people he has worked with before — and add others to bolster the set-up.
It is anticipated the 57-year-old will also keep a close eye on the future by giving opportunities for young Saudis to join his team, learn the industry and enhance their own careers.
Emenalo began his career with Enyimba and also played for Enugu Rangers before moving to the United States, where he attended college at and played for Boston University, from 1985 to 1988.
He played for Molenbeek in Belgium, Eintracht Trier in Germany, and Notts County F.C in England before going back to the US.
He was part of the original allocated players for Major League Soccer and spent two seasons (1996–97) with the San Jose Clash. After that, he played with UE Lleida in Spain and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel.
Emenalo won 14 caps for Nigeria between 1984 and 1995. He played in the 1994 FIFA World Cup, missing the first game through injury but then, played against Argentina and Greece before Nigeria was knocked out by Italy.
