2F91690300000578-3370366-Cristiano_Ronaldo_gave_a_guided_tour_of_his_plush_4_8million_man-a-2_1450797471624

Real Madrid star forward, Cristiano Ronaldo is one player whose future outside the game has been the object of much speculation.

The 31-year-old even went as far as to state that he would not be getting into coaching or football management when he eventually retires from the game that has brought him immense fame fortune, maintaining that he would like his break from the game to be total.
However, the Portuguese international has given a hint into what he would most likely be doing after hanging his boots.
In an interview with Portuguese fashion magazine, Sacoor Brothers Ronaldo said he would like to go into acting.
Recall that the prolific forward recently starred in a documentary movie named after himself.
He said: “I would like to learn being surrounded by good actors because only then will I learn since it is an area I do not control because it has nothing to do with football.
“Why not? It’s not my goal at the moment, but I have had some invitations.
“Do not close the doors because it is an area which I like.”
But he said he still has much more to offer to the beautiful game on the pitch, declaring “I feel good, I feel young, so I want to continue.”
Other footballers who have also gone into acting after their retirement include Manchester United legend, Eric Cantona, who has acted in many movies, and former Wimbledon FC defender, Vinnie Jones.


Cute kid.....who knew he would be doing what he is currently doing in the music industry today?


The picture you are looking at is the first photo of Kanye West and Kim K together. If this beautiful lady on the left (Alexis) had known that the lady on the right (Kim) will end up snatching her boyfriend (Kanye), maybe should would not have allowed her take a photo with them that day.

Kanye was engaged to Alexis after dating for years, before he dumped her to marry Kim. #loveisblind

The Ghana Immigration Service has rescued 42 children who were being trafficked to Nigeria from Tatale and its surrounding communities in the Northern region. The children were aged between 10 and 17 years.

Two persons were arrested over the crime. The suspects identified as Paul Waabem, 24 a Ghanaian from Tatale, resident in Nigeria, and Moses Yaw Kumah, 27, a Togolese, who also lives in Nigeria were remanded in prison custody and reappeared in court yesterday, February 23, 2016. Thirty-three of the children were rescued first and nine others later.
The Northern Regional Commander of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), Assistant Director of Immigration (ADI), Mr Eric Afari,(pictured) who disclosed this in Tamale on Saturday, February 20, said the command had intensified its border patrols in the eastern corridor of the Northern Region to clamp down on the activities of child traffickers.
He said child trafficking was on the ascendency in the area and, therefore, appealed to residents in the area to assist the service with credible information to track down child traffickers in the area.

Afari was speaking during the visit of members of the GIS Board. The team was led by its chairman, Mr Cletus Avoka (pictured) Members of the GIS board interacted with officers and men of the service in the Northern Region to know their operational challenges and how best they could be resolved.

Mr Afari said the command faced a lot of logistical constraints, including means of transport, the problems of inadequate number of offices and lack of residential accommodation, which together are hampering their operations in the region.
Increase in approved routes.

He called for an increase in the approved routes in the area since the stretch from Oti-Damanko to Nakpanduri was a ‘weak link’ because there were only three officially gazetted entry points which were outnumbered by the unapproved crossing points on the stretch. The stretch constituted the gateway to the inflow of criminal elements, Fulani herdsmen, arms proliferation and the smuggling of contrabands.

The Director of Immigration, Mr Felix Yaw Sarpong, charged personnel at the various entry points of the country to eschew extortion and other negative practices that had the tendency to tarnish the image of the service and send bad signals to foreigners such as investors and tourists.
Mr Afari cautioned parents who give their children to foreigners to be sent away for monetary gains, to desist from such acts warning that anyone caught would be severely punished.

There was outrage on Tuesday by pensioners of the Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State after a local government pensioner, identified as Sunday Oboite, slumped and died during screening.


It was learnt that Oboite, 75, died at the reception of the local government secretariat.

The late pensioner, who retired from the Works department of the council, was at the secretariat for screening which the council had directed the pensioners to undertake before they would be paid their 10-month pension arrears.

He was offered a bottle of beverage and some water by a Good Samaritan after he complained of 
hunger.

He, however, slumped at about 1.20pm, before he was confirmed dead by some doctors at the council.

According to a source, his death sparked a protest among other pensioners, who were enraged by what had befallen their colleague.

The source said:
 “Some of them complained that they had presented themselves for screening at the secretariat at about 8am, but were later informed to go to Urhokpota Hall, about 100 metres away. They also decried the delay in the exercise, which took hours before it commenced.”
The Chairman of the council, Mrs. Sweet Ikpomwosa, could not be reached for comments.

The Secretary of Oredo Pensioners Association, Mr. James Erhunmense, said that the late Oboite had arrived at the venue of the exercise alone and complained of not having any money to buy food and drugs.

He also said that the late pensioner was unable to go to the designated hall with his colleagues but chose to wait at the reception due to tiredness.

Another pensioner, James Omorogbe, said the computers used for the screening were always shutting down, adding that it took the death of their colleague for the council to provide them with chairs.

He said the death of Oboite could have been avoided if the council officials had prepared for the screening.

“Sunday said he had no money to buy food and drugs. For 10 months now, we have not been paid. Many others have died without collecting their benefits,” Omorogbe added.

A drunken plane passenger on a flight from India to Birmingham shocked passengers when he pulled down his trousers and urinated in the aisle.




“About 40 minutes prior to landing he removed his trousers and stood in the aisle.
The hospital porter named Jinu Abraham, 39, had to be restrained until the plane had landed after being aggressive to cabin crew.


John Cardiff, prosecuting, said Abraham had boarded the Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner on January 19 this year with his 10-year-old son.

During the flight he had become aggressive after drinking alcohol, refusing a request to return to his 
seat, the Birmingham Mail reports.

There also came a point when cabin staff refused to serve him any more booze because of his state and he was warned about his behaviour.
“He pulled down his boxer shorts exposing his buttocks and then began urinating on the floor and seat of the aircraft. 
He was restrained by crew with plastic handcuffs and seat belts for the rest of the flight and was arrested on landing.”
Mr Cardiff said the estimated cause of the damage was £500.

When later quizzed Abraham said he had drunk two whiskies, that he was on anti depressants and could not remember anything about his actions.

Alan Newport, defending, said both the defendant and his wife, who had been married for 11 years, worked for the NHS. His wife is a theatre nurse.

He said he had been on medication after one of his children died at birth and that his wife had already returned from India on a separate flight with their 15- month-old child.
“Unfortunately because of a mix up at the airport in India his medication had been placed in the hold. He was without medication and nervous about flying and was concerned about his wife’s welfare. 
He effectively tried to self medicate and it went dramatically wrong, not just for him, but the passengers on that flight. Fortunately no one was injured and the flight was able to land without an emergency request. 
He was shocked and surprised about what was said about his behaviour. He accepts it must have been incredibly upsetting for passengers and crew and possibly frightening for those people on board in that confined environment.”
Jinu was fined £300 at Birmingham Magistrates Court. He was also ordered to pay £500 compensation, a victim surcharge of £30 and £185 costs.

A woman who was on her way to a funeral has tragically died after a foolhardy driver smashed into her.

A van driver using two mobile phones smashed into a family car and killed a mum-of-two who was on her way to a family funeral.
According to Mirror Online, the driver, Robert Munce, 47, was trying to undertake another vehicle when he smashed into the side of Peter Nile’s Ford Focus – causing a six vehicle pile-up.

Mr Nile was with his son Steven and wife Margaret, 65, when Munce swerved into them in his Ford Transit. The family on the way to a relative’s funeral.
Emergency services rushed to the A1 in Newark, Nottinghamshire, but tragically Margaret was pronounced dead at the scene.
The careless driver was messaging and using the internet on both his phones before the tragic crash at around midday.
Robert Munce
Munce, of Grimsby, Lincolnshire, admitted causing death by dangerous driving and was jailed for four years and three months at Nottingham Crown Court yesterday.
The Judge, Michael Stokes QC said: “It is quite clear, from what I have read and have heard from her son that, like any mother and wife, her death is devastating to her family.

“She is irreplaceable. The impact on her family will never cease. It is a fact of life that we must all die eventually. But when death comes sudden and in these circumstances, the impact is always much worse.”
Mrs Nile had been travelling in the back seat of the family’s car on the way to the funeral at Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Her husband, Peter, was driving and her son, Steven, was in the front.
The victim, Margaret Nile
The court heard Mr Nile screamed “Oh Hell” moments before Munce – who was undertaking another car in his van – veered into the family’s car.
When arrested, Munce admitted he had used his phone, but tried to shorten the amount of usage.
Weeping Margaret’s son Steven said: “The events which occurred on the morning of Tuesday, November 11, will live with me for the rest of my life. Our vehicle was hit from behind, as we were slowing to exit from the highway.”
 
He added that he did not have a chance to say goodbye to the mother he described as “wonderful, kind, loving and caring”.


In what is can be said an unbelievable turn of events, a policeman stormed a polling booth while the election was still ongoing and took off with the ballot box.
 
The photo was taken at the just concluded Ugandan presidential elections where the sitting president, Yoweri Museveni, who has been in power for 30 years, emerged victorious.
In the picture, a Ugandan policeman can be seen with a ballot box trying to bolt from the polling centre while the election was still ongoing.
The opposition has cried foul over the final results and it is clear to see why. The entire process may have been marred by irregularities.


A woman who bought a can of beans for consumption was literally shocked out of her skin when she found a severed snake’s head in it.


The woman found a severed snake’s head in her can of beans Troy Walker from Farmington, Utah, was making dinner with church members when she discovered a very unsavoury addition to the meal, a severed snake’s head.
The beans came from a can of Western Family Fancy Green Beans. Initially, she thought the beans was burnt as she scooped it out of a cooker, a closer inspection revealed the gross find. She returned to the store where she bought the beans and received a full refund on all the 30 cans she bought previously.
But Walker said it wasn’t about the money. “My biggest concern was that someone else would get the body,” she said. She then sent a photograph of the serpent’s decapitated head to Western Family.

The Oregon-based company said it was investigating the bizarre discovery and as a precautionary measure, it has suspended shipments of beans from the same batch.
“Foreign matter is not something we take lightly,” Western Family’s chief financial officer Peter Craven said.
He refused to confirm whether it was a snake’s head, but said that the product was “on hold” at the wholesale level.
Walker meanwhile couldn’t stomach the beans in which she found the snake’s head, she she chucked it all in the bin. “It was just terrible,” she said.

A 70-year-old widow, Mrs Elizabeth Adeoni, was on Wednesday arraigned in an Osogbo customary court for owing rent arrears for 20 years.
Lateef Adegoke, the landlord of the widow, told the court that Adeoni had not been paying house rent
since 1995.

Adegoke, therefore, prayed the court to assist him to recover his money from the septuagenarian.
The landlord urged the court to order Adeoni to pay the rent and vacate the house.

He said that he needed the money to take care of certain financial obligations.
In her response, Adeoni said life had been very difficult for her since her husband died many years ago, adding that things became worse when she lost her two children.
Adeoni, who wept in the court, pleaded with the court to beg the landlord not to eject her from the house because she had nowhere to go.

The President of the court, Ladipo Balogun, urged the woman not to lose hope and charged her to find something to do so as to be able to pay her rent.
Balogun then adjourned the case until March 15 for further hearing. (NAN)
