Dorobucci, the latest hit single/street anthem from the Mavin crew got a lot of hype with many anticipating the roll out of the video.
After months of anticipation, the video was finally released on July 23rd but it seems not many loved it as it didn’t have the ‘wow’ factor.
The video which features Don Jazzy, Tiwa Savage, Dr Sid, D’Prince, Reekado Banks, Di’Ja and Korede Bello was directed by Nick Roux of Molotov Cocktail Productions and shot in South Africa.

Well, growing up was fine and awesome. I grew up in a loving home. I am the first child of my parents. My parents tried to make us comfortable. I had my primary school education at O&A Nursery and Primary School, Ikenne Remo, Ogun State, after which I proceeded for my Secondary School Education at Ikenne Community High School where I spent all my days in the boarding house. Upon the completion of my Senior Secondary School Certificate, I gained admission into Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijebu ode, also in Ogun State.

On her foray into acting:
I have always loved acting. When I was very young, I used to stay in front of mirror and mimick my favourite actors and actresses. As I grew up, I discovered that I actually have passion for acting. I joined the movie industry in 2008. At the time, Afees Eniola came to my school to shoot a movie entitled Bamitale. Somebody introduced me to him. It was then that I got a form from him and joined his caucus. I have featured in numerous movies but the first movie I featured in was Bamitale. It was however the movie, Opolo that brought me to the limelight. It was written and produced by Shola Akintunde, popularly known as Lagata. Also, the role I played in the movie Bella, written and produced by Sobola Tayo (Sotayo) also helped boost my career. I joined the league of producers in February this year when I produced my first movie entitled Aruga. The movie was written and produced by my humble self and will soon be released.

On challenges she faced when she started acting:
The only challenge I faced when I started was that my parents didn’t want me to go into acting. However, when they realised that was where my passion was, they had no other choice than to let me do what I wanted to do. Other than that I would not say I had any challenge. Every other thing that came in the line of my job, I took in my stride and so far, it is so good. The journey has been good.
On whether she faced the sex for role challenge:
Hell no!
Her first experience on set:
It was wonderful but trust me, it was not easy to face camera at first. However, I soon got the hang of things.
How she’s coping with competition:
I am not competing with anybody in the industry. I am always on my own lane and I believe in myself and the talent that God has given me. Moreover, the sky is wide enough for all birds to fly.
Her role models in the industry:
Bukky Wright and Mercy Aigbe.
Philosophy of life:
No matter how long a road might be, it will lead you to your destination.

Definition of style:
Style to me is about looking good at all times. This is because your dressing speaks volume about you, it tells people the kind of person you are. Don’t forget that it is the way you dress that you will be addressed. If you want to command respect from people, you must look good and beautiful in a decent way.
Beauty regimen:
I don’t really have a beauty regimen. I try to eat good food. I try not to stress myself and I maintain my skin by using creams that are suitable for my skin type and that is the Extreme Glow beauty products. It does not cost me much to look good because I’m naturally blessed with a good body and skin.
Favourite designers:
H&M.
Favourite perfumes:
DKNY.
Choice of accessories:
I love Christian Louboutin shoes and LV bags. For jewellery, I don’t like costume jewellery, I prefer gold.
Accessory she can’t do without when going out:
My gold neck chain.
Special treat:
If I want to pamper myself, I will go on a shopping spree. I enjoy buying clothes and footwear.
Opinion on toning:
I don’t think that toning is good. I will never support it. I don’t like anything that is artificial, I love natural things.
On cosmetic surgery:
I will never ever consider going for cosmetic surgery. Moreover, there is nothing that I will want to change about myself. I appreciate everything about myself and I am thankful to God for how He created me. I’m blessed with the way God made me.
What she can’t be caught dead wearing:
Bum bum.
Her opinion on provocative dressing:
I don’t believe in ladies exposing sensitive parts of their bodies but we all have our different mode of dressing. The fact that I don’t like it does not mean another person won’t like it. Everybody has the right to do what she wants. If you are comfortable in dresses like that then you can wear them, but as for me, I am not and that is why I don’t wear them.
Favourite pastime:
I love swimming.
Marital status:
I am single. My ideal man must be nice, humble, cool headed, caring and cute. I don’t really want to marry a fellow actor but if I find an actor who understands me, then I will.
On whether she is sexy or not:
Since some people said I look sexy then, I consider myself to be sexy.
How she handles advances from my male fans:
I make friends with them and nothing more. I love and appreciate all my fans, male and female, young and old.
Miss Solaja is also a movie producer and a script writer. She recently produced a movie titled ‘Aruga’, making her the youngest producer in the Yoruba film industry.
An Abuja High Court on Friday remanded in prison the former chairman of the House of Representatives ad-hoc Committee on fuel subsidy, Farouk Lawan.

Also remanded in custody was the committee’s former secretary, Boniface Enemalo.
They were arraigned for allegedly soliciting for and collecting a bribe of $620,000 from the Chairman of Zenon Oil, Femi Otedola.
At the resumption of trial on Friday, the duo pleaded not guilty to the seven-count charge filed against them. The counsels to the lawmakers, Rickey Tarfa and Mike Ozhekome, both Senior Advocates of Nigeria, had earlier filed a bail application on their behalf.
However, the presiding judge, Justice Mudashiru Oniyangi, ruled that both Lawan and Emenalo be remanded in Kuje Prison pending the ruling on their bail application.
He subsequently picked February 8 for ruling on the application.

The Lagos Chamber of Commerce & Industry, LCCI, Monday said Nigeria currently suffers from dearth of business and investment statistics needed for strategic planning.
Speaking at the Presentation of the Nigerian Business Confidence Index at Commerce house, the President of LCCI, Mr Goodie Ibru said, If Nigeria must achieve the desired level of development, the place of data and statistics is crucial and that Nigeria currently suffers from dearth of business and investment statistics needed for strategic planning.
“In fact, decision-makers lack regular access to useful leading economic indicators to aid them in making business decisions even in the midst of rising risk profiles in Nigeria. The Lagos Chamber has decided to mitigate this concern by producing a template for the Nigerian Business Confidence Index (BCI)” he said.
According to him, the objective is to produce an initial BCI that will form the basis for a continuous quarterly BCI survey, analysis and report for the country.
It is a tailor made estimate of the business environment from the perception of top private sector players in Nigeria. Among several benefits of the BCI, we expect to see an increase in the quality and flow of information through the business and regulatory landscape, decision makers can begin to make more timely and better informed decisions.
Ibru said the time has therefore come when the Nigerian government would be aided with results of various surveys to be conducted by various interest groups like consultants, the media, research institutes, chambers of commerce and statistics bureaus in this country.
This development is expected to strengthen the policy response of the government.  The Business Confidence Index is one of the several indices computed in developed economies to measure the pulse of the economy and particularly the level of confidence the business community has in any particular economy. These indices, no doubt have aided the progress we see today in the most developed economies of the world.
He urged government to give more financial support to national Bureau of Statistics (NBS) to strengthen its capacity to provide the needed data and statistics for information users in this country. I also task the statistical agencies on timely release of data as appropriate for decision making and planning.
The Director, Research and Advocacy, Mr Vincent Nwani while presenting the Maiden edition (Q1, 2013) of Business Confidence Index (BCI), said aggregate BCI scores show that business expectation in Nigeria is currently less confident with a weighted score of 10.5 per cent,  This is the aggregate of OECD index indicators score and the localised BCI indicators.
“Kindly note that, BCI indicators are designed so that the score fluctuates between -100 per cent and 100 per cent. For Instance, as investment optimism grows, the indicator would increase from 1 per cent to 100 per cent with a similar decline from -1 per cent to -100 per cent if business leaders become more pessimistic. We ensured that a Nigerian survey take account of the local context that impact businesses in our model. For now, Nigeria lags far behind the 50 per cent minimum benchmark for high business confidence level” he said.
The death toll of the Lagos robberies which occurred in various parts of the state on Saturday and Sunday, has risen to nine after it was reported at Ajah Police Division that a mother of two, Badejoko Akinrujomu, was killed by one of the robbers.
According to a friend of the deceased, the robbers had while attacking Akinrujomu’s home on Sunday night, tied up all the occupants of the house.
It was learnt that while the 37-year-old was being tied up by the robbers, she was able to identify him and the robber opened fire on her, killing her instantly.
She said, “What the neighbours told me was that the robbers came around 3am on Sunday and brought all the neighbours out of their houses. Badejoko (Akinrujomu) lives in the flat on the ground floor and was also brought out.
“The robbers then tied all of them and collected their car keys. As she was being tied up, she identified one of the robbers and the guy killed her. They entered the vehicles and drove away immediately. The deceased, who is a trader, had just moved into that area a few weeks ago.”
The police were immediately alerted of the development and rushed down to the scene.
It was gathered that the policemen were on their way to the robbery scene when they were ambushed and killed by the robbers.
An aide of the former minister of finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala have come out to deny a report by Sahara reporters that the former minster has handed “dossier of Corrupt Deals”to President Buhari as totally false. 
According to the Media Adviser to Dr Okonjo-Iweala, Paul C Nwabuikwu.
“The recent report by the integrity-challenged website, Saharareporters and some other media that former Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has handed over a “dossier of corrupt deals” perpetrated by the Jonathan administration to President Buhari is completely false and without foundation.
This sponsored lie is part of the political attack by the pay masters of Saharareporters against Dr Okonjo-Iweala.
These attacks will continue given that these individuals are bent on a political and personal vendetta against her.
Why are they angry? It is simply because she tried to bring integrity and transparency to the management of Nigeria’s public finances which obviously did not suit their interests.
Okonjo-Iweala Calls Oshiomhole Names Over Allegations
Saharareporters which has a long history of publishing falsehoods and distortions against Okonjo-Iweala is a paid tool of these individuals.
But the lies of Saharareporters and its cohorts will never stop Okonjo-Iweala from loving her country or make her regret serving it, not once but twice.
As always, we are confident that the truth shall prevail,” he concluded.

The former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been under fire since the end of the last political dispensation. This is not unconnected to her role as the coordinating minister of economy under President Goodluck Jonathan.
Okonjo Iweala have been in war of word with the Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomole with the governor referring to her as “the coordinating minister of economic fraud and financial malfeasance.”
She in return said the governor has diarrhea of the mouth.
Garba Shehu, the senior special presidential assistant on media and publicity, shared the position of the Buhari administration on several critical questions ahead of next week’s official visit to the USA.
Adeola Fayehun, a Sahara TV correspondent, interviewed Buhari’s aide on Saturday, July 18, 2015.
Shehu confirmed that President Buhari vowed to the bring back money stolen by past administrations. He also denied that Onyaku, a former minister of commerce, asked the president to not probe the immediate past leader of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan.
Fayehun also asked Shehu about the ongoing war against the Boko Haram insurgency, and the notable presence of the Hausa tribe among the appointees and the recent replacement for the sacked service chiefs.
“Merit was the yardstick that was used to generate these appointments. I don’t think it will be helpful for us to be counting the number of Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo appointments. That’s why the country is in the position where it is today.
“[President Buhari] has over 6,000 appointments to make. Now why would anyone use less than 10 appointments to judge the president on this matter? Again, it balls down to the lack of patience,” Shehu replied.
 Buhari Replies To Accusation Of Lopsided Appointments
Commenting on the recent re-emergence of Radio Biafra, the presidential aide said it plays a negative role in the unity of the country.
“The issue of the oneness of the country had been settled by the civil government, and Nigerians have moved on. I don’t think people should take this fringe group seriously because they do not represent the majority of the country,” he added.
Speaking about the speculation that Obama will try to push Buhari to abolish the anti-gay law signed by Jonathan in 2014, Shehu noted that the opinion of the whole country must be respected:
“The president of Nigeria will address the question when it is raised. Even if President Buhari holds a contrary opinion, he is one person, and he cannot ignore the domestic opinion of the country.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s upcoming visit to his American counterpart, President Barack Obama, is evidently the most anticipated political event of the near future.
Since the visit was announced there has been much speculation about the objectives and expectations on both sides, and issues to be discussed during the encounter. We have gathered the most notable facts about next week’s meeting.
Find all the things you do need to know below:
1. The major meeting of the two countries’ leaders is to be held on Monday, July 20, although the whole visit will last four days.
2. In an unexpected development Obama decided to break his administration’s tradition and host Buhari as his personal guest at the Blair House and not in the White House. This might be an indication of a US readiness to demonstrate an individual approach in diplomatic relationships with Nigeria.

3. In an official statement the presidency disclosed that the focus would be on the issues of the economy and security.
4. The American side is to pressure Buhari to reverse the Nigerian anti same sex marriage law passed in January 2014. This is not simply speculated, but was clearly stated by the US assistant secretary of state for African affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield.
5. Apart from the Obama, Buhari will meet with several other senior officials, and with  representatives of Nigerians in the American diaspora.
6. Buhari will be accompanied by the governors of UImo, Nasarawa, Edo, Borno and Oyo states, the CBN governor and several ministers. The presence of the Borno state governor, Kashim Shettima, is of special interest, as Borno is the state worst affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.
 Ramadan End: I Understand Your Hard Feelings, But I Need Your Support – Buhari
7. Some believe that the recent sacking of service chiefs and appointment of replacements might be connected with the upcoming visit, and that such a decisive move by Buhari shows that he is ready to completely change the military strategy in the fight against the insurgency. Under Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, accusations against the military leaders by American government finally resulted in a deterioration in relations between the two countries and noticeable withdrawal of US military support. Is there a chance that the chiefs’ sacking is something like an apology for the previous cabinet?
Moreover, if asked what has been done by Buhari’s administration with the huge funds, including foreign money, allocated for the fight against Boko Haram, the president will be able to answer: “I have a new team in place: trusted, with integrity, and primed to actualize my mission of ending Boko Haram insurgency,”, a Vanguard source commented.

Benue state governor is very much concerned about gay activities in his state. In Samuel Ortom’s opinion, there are at least 400 gays in Benue state, whose activities must be prosecuted.
Benua state governor
Benue state governor has annoinced he is not going to tolerate gay activities in the state as well as corruption.
According to the recent estimates of Grace Ashi Wende, the executive secretary of Benue state Aids control agency, 0.009 % of Benue population are gay. It means that there are about 400 gay people among 4,500,000 Benue state inhabitants.

The Governor of Benue state Samuel Ortom has expressed his deep concern on that issue, saying that no gay activities in the state would be tolerated. Samuel Ortom has made this announcement while meeting with the Prelate of the Anglican Communion of Nigeria, Archbishop Nicholas Okoh in Makurdi.

Ortom has told that gay lifestyle is promoted by the Western world and it is alien to the African customs and the church.

He has also assured the public that he is ready to fight corruption in the state with the same willingness he is ready to fight gay activities.

Earlier the Prelate of the Anglican Communion appealed the people of all faiths in Nigeria to unite in the fight against gay culture, appealing to the Benue governor to do everything possible to help in the church’s struggle against gay marriages in Nigeria.
Archbishop Nicholas Okoh is among many people in Africa who strongly oppose to gay people. Bishop Emmanuel Badejo of Oyo, Nigeria, earlier compared gays with drug addicts and terrorists, saying that despite “gay people have a right to be accepted as human beings,” nevertheless, “there is a distinguishing factor between human rights and human behaviour. I don’t have to accept homosexual behaviour, just like I don’t have to accept drug addition, robbery, and terrorism.”
 Nigeria’s Anti-Gay Law Sparks International Outrage!
In a bid to gain popular support ahead of presidential election the then-President Goodluck Jonathan toughened Nigerian anti-gay law, which says that  “persons who enter into a same-sex marriage contract or civil union commit an offence and are each liable on conviction to a term of 14 years in prison. Any person who registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organizations or directly or indirectly makes public show of same-sex amorous relationship in Nigeria commits an offence and shall each be liable on conviction to a term of 10 years in prison.”
 Woman Resigns From Work Over Legalized Gay Marriage 
According to UNAIDS estimates, Nigeria has the second largest HIV epidemic in the world. An estimated 3.4 million Nigerians or around 4 % of the general population, are living with HIV, and UNAIDS argues that tough anti-gay laws undermine initiatives to fight the disease. “The provisions of the law could lead to increased homophobia, discrimination, denial of HIV services and violence based on real or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity,” UNAIDS representatives told the press. “It could also be used against organizations working to provide HIV prevention and treatment services to LGBT people.”
Besides Nigeria, one of the most harsh anti-gay laws were adopted in Uganda in 2014.
Ugandan president  Yoweri Museveni, signing the bill that made homosexual activity punishable by life in prison, told the press that “gays are disgusting“.
President Muhammadu Buhari, has been urged to take a cue from the United State and cancel the same sex marriage prohibition Act of 2014.
This comes days after the Supreme Court of the United States of America finally legalised same sex marriage throughout the whole country.
In a report on Sahara Reporters, specifically aimed to attack the “Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act of 2014”, leading human rights organisations, PEN America and PEN Nigeria urged President Buhari to scrap the law as it encourages evictions, mob attacks, police torture, and public whippings against gays.
The recent opinion poll has shown the shift in attitude towards gay people and same sex marriages in Nigeria. According to that poll, Nigerians have become more gay than they used to be five years ago – or at least more gay-friendly.
A 56-year-old pastor at the Christian Proctor Church in Vermont, USA, has been sentenced to one year in federal prison after refusing to marry gay couples.
This comes shortly after the Supreme Court’s ruling to legalise same sex marriages in all states.
NBC reports that Pastor Paul Horner, had his lawyer speak to journalists on his behalf.
“We are currently disputing the guilty verdict and I am confident my client will be a free man here shortly. Horner was just using his best judgement according to his rights and religious freedom in this country,” said the pastor’s lawyer Tom Downey.
Addressing the pastor, Judge Myron Danus handed down the harsh sentence:“Religious freedom goes both ways, Mr. Horner. It is not your place to deny individuals the same rights that everyone else has, rights that were passed down and agreed upon in a court of law, the ultimate court, the Supreme Court. It is not your decision whether or not you agree with the law but more importantly that you follow it and enforce it.”
 How Nigerian Taxi Driver Was Punished For Insulting Gay Passengers
The criminal investigation found out that the Christian Proctor Church is registered in the state as a “religious corporation” limited to performing “one-man-one-woman marriages as defined by the Holy Bible.” However, the church is also registered as a for-profit business; therefore, its owners must comply with state and federal laws.
Meanwhile, Steve Shand, the president of the Vermont Family Research Committee, wondered:“Homosexuals are gay. Why should Christian ministers be forced to perform and celebrate any marriage that conflicts with their beliefs? It is a slippery slope my friend. Pretty soon these same pastors will be forced to wed animals or kitchen appliances. This is not my America!”
The former American president Jimmy Carter has thrown his weight behind the recent approval of same sex marriage by saying: “I believe Jesus would approve gay marriage, but that’s just my own personal belief.”


He said this when he received the prelate of the Anglican Communion of Nigeria, Archbishop Nicholas Okoh, at the old banquet hall in Makurdi, the state capital.

 
He said gay culture was against African culture and beliefs and was being promoted by the West.
The governor, who said his administration would shun corruption, commended the Anglican Communion for its strong stance on homosexuality.
“Gay marriage is not a belief of Africans and the Church. The issue is a new development and is a reflection of the event of Sodom and Gomorrah, so we must reject it,”  he said.

Archbishop Okoh in his response urged the government to help in the fight to resist gay relationships in the state. He cited the fact that the three major religions in the country were against same sex relationships.
Meanwhile, Okoh has urged the federal government not to accept same sex marriage especially as it is being legalised in other countries.


Ahead of Muhammadu Buhari’s meeting with his American counterpart, Barack Obama, Project for Human Development (PHD), a civil society organisation, has cautioned the Nigerian leader.
Muhammadu Buhari and Barack Obama

Members of PHD urged Buhari not to listen to the US government on issues of gay rights in order to protect laws and values of Nigeria.
PM News reports that the call was made on July 19, Sunday, at a rally titled “Gay Marriage: Obama, Please Leave Nigeria Alone”, which was held in Lagos.
Jerry Okwuosa, the director-general of PHD, said that the aim of the rally was to hint the president that Nigerians are worried that Obama might ask him to decriminalize the same-sex prohibition law of Nigeria. According to him, promotion of gay rights is a part of America foreign policy.
 US TRIP: President Buhari Leaves Abuja, Heads To Washington (Photos)
“The US is now the major exporter of gay rights in the world. It has recently pressurized Uganda for a reverse of its anti-gay law. Under the influence of the US, Mozambique has recently decriminalized its anti-gay law. At the moment, US is putting pressure on Kenya to legalize gay marriage.

“President Obama is meeting with President Buhari tomorrow to discuss issues which include security, economy, Ebola and gay marriage legalisation in Nigeria. Fear is being entertained that Obama might trade off US assistance to President Buhari’s government with shooting down Goodluck Jonathan’s anti-gay law. We are however, urging President Buhari to reject such a trade-off,” he said.
Sonnie Ekwowusi, a director of PHD, stressed that homosexuality is not Nigeria culture; it is a taboo or abomination.
“Every society has its own values and should grow with those values. Nigeria has her own values and we must stick to our values and tradition. Laws are made in consonant with the values of the people. Every country is interested in protecting what it holds dear.”
 Nigerians Not Really Happy On Obama-PMB Meeting, Expect The Two To Go On A Date
Speaking on behalf of people taking part in a rally, Ekwowusi concluded:
“Our view is that homosexuality is an acquired habit that ought to be eradicated and not be transformed into an acceptable human conduct by law (in Nigeria). Our recommendation with regard to same sex marriage is absolute prohibition”.
It would be recalled that Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US assistant secretary of state for African affairs, said that America would continue to pressurize Nigeria until it legalizes same-sex marriage.
Earlier this month, leading human rights organisations PEN America and PEN Nigeria urged President Buhari to take a cue from the US and cancel the same sex marriage prohibition Act of 2014.

Both had been said by critics to hate each other massively due to the fact as they are always in the hunt for the World’s Best Player.


Well Ronaldo has said he actually has no issues with now or ever.
He said: “It’s not at all true that we have a bad relationship. We are colleagues and have a professional relationship,” the Portugal star told Marca.
“We don’t have a relationship outside of football like I have with some other players. He tries to do his best for his club and national team and I do the same. There is a certain rivalry where we are each doing our utmost for our teams.
“This rivalry is part of my life. It is only normal that people compare us. The same happens in Formula 1 with Ferrari and Mercedes. I’m used to it. This has been the case not only since I joined Madrid, but already when I was still at Manchester United.
“I hope that we can both laugh about all this. Football is a game, it’s something fun and something we both like. We must face this rivalry in a positive way because it is a good thing. Football is something beautiful that all the fans enjoy.”

Ronaldo began the 2014-15 campaign in wonderful form netting three goals in four games for Los Blancos.

Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo has denied calling his colleague, one of Barcelona FC’s and world top scorers Lionel Messi, offensive names.
In the new book titled “MESSI”, Ronaldo is accused of often referring to Messi in the insulting language in the Los Blancos dressing room.
Despite the fact that the two best footballers of the modern times often come hand in hand in the world ratings, Ronaldo rejected the insults allegations saying he would never treat a fellow professional with such disrespect.
It was also provided in the book that CR7 jokingly compared the FCB striker with a dog or puppet kept in one of Ronaldo’s designer bags.
The 29-year-old was outraged by the allegations saying:
“This is absolutely false and I have assured my lawyer takes action to sue those responsible. I have the utmost respect for all my professional colleagues, and Messi is obviously no exception.”

The Argentinian nailed down his success on the international level with a hat-trick at the November 25 Barcelona’s 4-0 win against APOEL, Goal.com reports.
The yesterday’s clash in Group F became historical for the striker in particular and Barca in general, as Messi broke Real Madrid legend Raul’s record of 71 goals in Europe’s premier club competition.
Moreover, Barcelona’s new striker Luis Suarez shot his debut goal for the Catalan club, after 5 goalless matches for the team.
Despite the fact that Suarez opened the score, it was definitely Messi’s night and he struck twice in the second half assuring Barca’s place in the last 16.
It would be recalled that the star footballer has recently made a worrisome comment about his vague future in the club, for which he has played for more than 13 years. Messi said that football is very “changeable” adding:
“I always said that I’d like to stay there forever, but things don’t always work out as you want them to.”
The ambiguous claim triggered hot discussion among Barca fans, and not only. However Messi’s father shed light on the situation having calmed down the excited football lovers.
He said that his son’s quit was not “even on the agenda” adding that “as people read between the lines there is exaggeration”.
Real Madrid became the first club in Champions League history to win all their group matches on two occasions after  4-0 win over Bulgarian side Ludogorets on Tuesday.
Already through to the last 16 as group winners, Real, who are the holders, eased to a 19th straight victory in all competitions, surpassing the record of 18 they jointly held with Barcelona.
