Barcelona are the reference. They are the reference for everyone in terms of quality, football and the amount of titles. They can beat any team in the world but so can Chelsea. If I didn’t believe that, I would quit the game. I am not going into the game with a losing mentality. I know their game like everyone does. We all want to sit down and watch them play.”

Andre Villas-Boas, coach of Chelsea, responding to reporters on the chances of his team winning this season’s UEFA Champions League.

“I sent the song over to Jude via email and he listened to it. The next day I called him for his opinion and he said exactly these words ‘Stephnora the song is good but don’t release it like that because it doesn’t meet the standard of the Nigerian market’. I asked him what should be done and he suggested that I return to the studios and brush it up.”

“Although we are reluctant to respond to these type of press reports, the rumours circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together and, our marriage is still intact.”

 “I don’t know how to explain the fact that no matter how much I try to be a politician.., I just don’t seem to be able to do it. In Politics.., everybody is pretending. There are numerous hypocrites and sycophants. They will be looking at a black thing and will be saying it is white. Pls pray for me oooo. I don’t wanna change now. I strongly believe in truth as the only means to integrity. God help Nigeria.”
