Popular Nollywood actor Wale Ojo has said he may not marry a Nigerian woman when the time comes for him to finally get married. 
Wale Ojo said this in a recent interview with E24-7. He also said women are easily carried away by one’s fame rather than see their personality.
Speaking on raising a family with a woman, the actor said: “It will be, but it’s as God decides. If it doesn’t happen that way, there’s nothing I can do about it. With the way things are going, I may end up not marrying a Nigerian woman.”

The actor explained why he is not considering having a Nigerian as wife.
“You know how it is; you meet people every day. Recently, I shot a movie in Senegal and I fell in love with Senegal. It’s a beautiful country with lovely people. It’s a place I would love to go back to. So in my career, you meet different people and they will spin your life the other way. But yes, I would love to marry a Nigerian; it just hasn’t happened yet. If you have any options, please let me know.”
Wale Ojo began acting as a child. He turned professional in the United Kingdom at the age of 21. He is the  founder of the New Nigeria Cinema whose aim is to improve the quality of Nigerian films.

The English Football Association has resolved to change the emphasis in school soccer in an effort to increase participation and enjoyment of the game. Specifically, they aim to make the focus less result-orientated and more child-centred. The decision has caused some fresh arguments to break out between those parents and teachers who believe that school sport is for all children to enjoy and those who feel that it is never too early to foster a competitive spirit in young people. It is even more interesting to consider if the same change of policy should apply to the professional game.

A Federal high court has ordered all accounts belonging to former captain of the Super Eagles, Nwankwo Kanu anywhere in Nigeria be frozen.
 According to Saharareporters.com, Kanu’s accounts and those of his company Hardley apartments anywhere and in any financial institution in the country have been ordered frozen.
The accounts were frozen because of the ex-footballer’s inability to recover a debt of N924,788,754.56.
“NFF Sinks LMC Funds On FA Chairmen” Director of Hardley Apartment, Ayoola Gam-Ikon was also reportedly affected by a suit which was filed by the Asset Management Corporation Of Nigeria (AMCON) in an affidavit sworn to by a Credit officer in the Directorate of AMCON, Mr Victor Igabor.

Stephen Keshi

Kate Keshi, wife of former Super Eagles Coach Stephen Keshi, died of cancer, her family has confirmed.
A statement from Emmanuel Ado, on behalf of the Keshi family, confirmed that the 54-year-old lost her three-year-long fight against the sickness on Wednesday night in the United States.
“With gratitude to God the Family of Mr. Stephen Okechukwu Keshi CON announces the death of our dear wife, mother, daughter, sister Mrs. Kate Keshi née Abureme,” the statement said.
“She died in the United States of America. She has in the last three years battled with cancer. She gave a good fight, until she finally succumbed yesterday.
“She is survived by her husband of 33 years, 4 children, her mother, brother, sisters and numerous relatives. We ask for prayers for her,” the statement said.
Already, the Nigeria Football Federation has sent out condolences to the Big Boss as the NFF president, Amaju Pinnick, described the death of Keshi’s wife as a big loss.
“Keshi is a Nigerian hero and we mourn deeply with him at this time. This has come like a big blow, but we pray that he receives divine strength to cope with the situation, and we also pray that the Almighty God will grant the departed eternal rest,” Mr. Pinnick stated.

Aside from being the second elected vice-president of Nigeria, not many can say too much about the private life of Atiku Abubakar.
The 69-year-old politician worked in the Nigeria Customs Service for twenty years, rising to become the deputy director, before he finally retired in April 1989 to face politics full time.
However, aside from all these ‘butterflies’ about the Ahmadu Bello University graduate, not many know what his home front looks like. According to reports, he has 26 children from his five wives. In the book titled ‘Atiku – The Story Of Atiku Abubakar’, the former vice president explains why he opted for polygamy as a young man. Atiku said: “I wanted to expand the Abubakar family. I felt extremely lonely as a child. I had no brother and no sister. I did not want my children to be as lonely as I was. This is why I married more than one wife. My wives are my brothers, my sisters, my friends and my advisers and they complement one another”.
 Atiku @ 69: Nigerians Want Him To Be President
Atiku Abubakar married Amina Titi Atiku Abubakar at the young age of 25 secretly in December 1971, at the Ikoyi registry in Lagos, because her family was initially opposed to the union.
In January 1979 he married Ladi Atiku Abubakar. He married his third wife, Princess Rukaiyatu Atiku Abubakar, daughter of the late Lamido of Adamawa in 1983. He married Fatima Atiku Abubakar his fourth wife in 1986. He later divorced Ladi, allowing him to marry, as his fourth wife, Jennifer Iwenjora, who then became Jamila Atiku

The first wife gave birth to four children, Fatima, Adamu, Halima and Aminu while the second wife, Hajia Ladi has six children, Abba, Atiku, Zainab, Ummi, Mariam and Rukayatu. The third wife, Princess Rukaiyat (current Lamido Adamawa’s 13th child) had  seven children, Aisha, Hadiza, Aliyu, Asmau, Mustafa, Laila and Abdulsalaam. Hajia Fatima has six children, Amina, Mohammed and two sets of twins, Ahmed and Shehu andAisha and Zainab. And Hajia Jamila has three children, Abdulmalik, Zahra and Faisal.

I started Social Security benefits early because I needed the income. Can I stop my benefit now, get a job for a couple of years and then get a higher amount on either my own record or my ex-husband's? Doesn't the amount you get increase up until age 72?
-- Joan
Dear Joan,
Social Security retirement benefits max out at age 70, not age 72, so there's no reason to delay benefits beyond that point.
You do have the option, once you have reached full retirement age, of suspending your Social Security benefit through age 70 to let it grow, even though you started early, says economist Laurence Kotlikoff, co-author of "Get What's Yours: The Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security." Full retirement age is currently 66, although it will rise to 67 for those born in 1960 and later.
If you're receiving spousal or divorced spousal benefits, though, you need to be extremely careful because it's possible your check at 70 would be no higher and you would have given up years of checks for no reason, Kotlikoff says.

Unlike your own benefit, spousal benefits can't earn delayed retirement credits. If your own benefit grows, your spousal benefit can be reduced dollar for dollar to offset that increase.
The math is pretty complicated, so consider getting outside expertise or using software such as that found on Kotlikoff's MaximizeMySocialSecurity.com website to make sure you don't make a dangerous move.

Police ordered around 50 chanting demonstrators to disperse at about 4 a.m. and soon began removing tents and equipment while firefighters extinguished campfires. Dump trucks carried away tents and supplies while crews removed makeshift barricades that had been blocking the street in front of the station and erected a high fence to keep people off the lawn and sidewalk.
"It was time," Mayor Betsy Hodges said at a news conference. "We have been balancing the safety needs of the precinct with the right for people to protest and have their voices be heard." Demonstrators, led by the local Black Lives Matter group, had gathered outside the 4th Precinct station since shortly after the Nov. 15 shooting of 24-year-old Jamar Clark. He died the following day.
Police officers responding to a report of an assault in which Clark was a suspect said they arrived to find him interfering with paramedics who were trying to treat the victim. Police say a struggle followed and Clark was shot. Some community members have alleged that Clark was handcuffed when he was shot, but police dispute this.
State and federal investigations are underway. Protesters have demanded the release of any videos showing the shooting and called for a special prosecutor to be appointed instead of leaving it up to a grand jury to decide whether the officers should face charges.
Seven people were arrested during the eviction for obstructing the legal process and another was arrested for trespassing, Police Chief Janee Harteau said. Nobody was injured, she said. "I do want to make notice to future protests that we will continue to support and facilitate your First Amendment rights and freedom of speech. But, we will also support and enforce the ordinances of the city of Minneapolis and the laws of the state of Minnesota," Harteau said.
Protesters won't be allowed to set up similar encampments or block streets for extended periods, the police chief said. It wasn't immediately clear when operations would return to normal at the station. The new temporary fence blocked the sidewalk along the entire block and public access to the front door. A new fence across the street left the sidewalk open, a potential place for protesters to gather.
About 200 protesters and their supporters regrouped at 4 p.m. inside Minneapolis' City Hall, and speakers continued to press their demands for the release of videotapes and racial equity. The protesters then took to the streets, chanting and disrupting traffic in downtown Minneapolis.

The seven officials — including two FIFA vice presidents, one member-elect of the FIFA executive committee and one FIFA staffer — were arrested in early morning hotel raids. All face extradition to the United States in a process which could last months. Only then could they be questioned about involvement in alleged racketeering, money-laundering and wire fraud in a $150 million bribe scheme spanning more than two decades.
Here are some things to know about the ongoing legal process in Switzerland

The FIFA president's future was being determined by the governing body's ethics committee at meetings in Zurich, with Blatter at risk of being suspended after a criminal case was opened against him. Blatter associate Klaus Stoehlker, who has no role at FIFA, told The Associated Press and other media outlets the ethics committee's adjudicatory chamber recommended a 90-day suspension for the sport's most powerful official.
"Blatter has heard that from several sources," Stoehlker said. "He has not got any message from the committee ... and he is perfectly under control. He is going to the office tomorrow." Blatter's lawyer, Richard Cullen, said the president "has not been notified of any action taken by the FIFA ethics committee."

On Sept. 14 in Zurich, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch will join her counterpart from Switzerland, Michael Lauber, for a news conference about their separate investigations of corruption in world football.
The joint conference will explain the "status of the two criminal proceedings," Swiss officials said in a statement on Tuesday. Though the cases are separate, the officials involved are cooperating in their investigations.
Lynch, who helped kick off the FIFA case several years ago as a U.S. Attorney in Brooklyn, is scheduled to attend an annual conference of federal prosecutors which is hosted this year by Lauber's department.
Across town, Blatter is working through the last months of his 18-year presidential spell after citing pressure on FIFA from the criminal cases as a reason to go early. Before deciding on June 2 to leave office, Blatter criticized Lynch — who was sworn into office in April — for conducting her case in Zurich.
"Listen, with all the respect to the judicial system of the U.S. with a new minister of justice," Blatter said in May, "the Americans, if they have a financial crime that regards American citizens then they must arrest these people there and not in Zurich when we have a congress."
The American case alleges bribery, fraud, money laundering and racketeering, including in the award of hosting rights for the 2010 World Cup to South Africa and broadcasting rights for World Cup qualifying matches and other international competitions.
FIFA was rocked on May 27 when Swiss federal police arrested seven officials, including FIFA's vice presidents for the North and South American regions, in a dawn raid at a luxury hotel in Zurich at the request of U.S. authorities.
They were among 14 football and marketing officials named in a 47-count U.S. indictment unsealed that day. Former FIFA vice president Jeffrey Webb, a Cayman Islands banker, accepted extradition to the U.S. and six others remain in Zurich-area prisons fighting the process.
Four more men — including Chuck Blazer, the most senior American in world football for 16 years until 2013 — had their guilty pleas unsealed on May 27. "They corrupted the business of worldwide soccer to serve their interests and enrich themselves," Lynch said at a news conference in New York hours after the arrests.

On Wednesday, Blatter's staff gave him a standing ovation. As ripples of the scandal reverberated from Europe to Africa to the Middle East, the embattled president showed up for work at FIFA's gleaming headquarters in Zurich, where FIFA spokeswoman Delia Fischer said he met with staff and received their applause.
On May 27, Swiss police raided a luxury Zurich hotel on the eve of FIFA's annual conference and arrested seven soccer officials. They were among 14 current and former sports and marketing officials indicted by U.S. authorities on bribery, vote-rigging and other corruption charges.
In a separate investigation, Swiss authorities seized documents at FIFA headquarters in their probe into the bidding contests for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup tournaments. The 79-year-old Blatter has not been officially implicated so far in either investigation, and he won re-election to a fifth, four-year term Friday during the FIFA congress. But just four days later, he announced that he would resign and call for a new election to find a successor in a process that could take up to a year.

12:35 p.m. With investors predicting a bold package of stimulus measures from the European Central Bank later, there is a risk that it fails to meet expectations and that could see the day's stock market gains evaporate and the euro rise.
Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets, cautioned that it's "highly improbable" that ECB President Mario Draghi will deliver everything that many investors expect it to and cautioned that the outcome of the policy meeting "is more than likely to disappoint."
However, Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at OANDA, argues the opposite is the case. The ECB under Draghi, he said, has a "history of exceeding market expectations when it comes to monetary stimulus and I expect the same to happen again today."

U.S. Anti-Doping Agency CEO Travis Tygart will join former USA Swimming president Jim Wood for a meeting with FINA executive director Cornel Marculescu in Lausanne, Switzerland, next month to check in on the anti-doping actions of the sport's governing body.
"This is an effort to see if we can understand what's going on and maybe why certain decisions were made the way they were," USA Swimming executive director Chuck Wielgus told The Associated Press on Wednesday in a telephone interview from his office in Colorado.
Unlike with the IAAF and the ongoing corruption scandal at FIFA, though, there is no explicit concern about the people in charge. "We've been extremely supportive of FINA's leadership," Wielgus said. "(Marculescu) was very quick to agree to a meeting so we were very pleased by that. We saw that as a very positive response."
The concern lies with the way doping cases involving China's Sun Yang, Australia's Kylie Palmer and Russia's Yuliya Efimova were handled. USA Swimming wants to ensure the likes of Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky compete against only clean athletes at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
"There are two great concerns we have about the Rio Games. One is that there is clean competition. And No. 2 is that the water is clean for open water swimmers," Wielgus said, adding that water quality will not be discussed in the meeting with Marculescu.
Sun, the gold medalist in the 400- and 1,500-meter freestyle at the London Olympics, served a three-month doping suspension last year for using a banned stimulant. His punishment began immediately after he tested positive in May 2014, but Chinese officials kept the test quiet for six months and FINA also waited until late November to announce the sanction.
Sun was then named male swimmer of the meet at the world championships in Kazan, Russia, in August. Palmer, a member of the Australian 4x200-meter freestyle relay team which won gold at the 2008 Beijing Games, tested positive for low levels of a banned masking agent at the 2013 worlds in Barcelona, but she was not notified of the failed test until earlier this year.
Palmer denied taking performance-enhancing drugs but she accepted a provisional suspension, ruling her out of the Kazan worlds. Then FINA's doping tribunal issued Palmer with only a reprimand and warning in September, allowing her to resume her bid to compete in Rio.

The justice ministry says both men have opposed their extradition to the United States at Zurich police hearings on Thursday. Napout, who is from Paraguay, and Hawit, who is from Honduras, were arrested at the request of U.S. authorities in early morning raids on the Baur au Lac hotel in Zurich. Napout is president of the South American confederation and Hawit leads the North American regional body.
They are the third past or current presidents of each continental body to be indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice since May in a widening corruption investigation.

9:50 a.m. Britain's defense secretary says British Tornados struck at oil fields that help finance the activities of the Islamic State group — the first strikes to follow after a vote in Parliament authorizing military action in Syria.
Defense Secretary Michael Fallon told the BBC that the Omar fields in eastern Syria were targeted to strike "a very real blow at the oil and the revenue" on which the Islamic State group depends. The strikes follow within hours of Parliament's vote to attack the group, also known as Isil, Isis and by its Arabic acronym, Daesh.
Fallon confirmed that eight more jets were on their way to Britain's base in Cyprus to join attacks and warned that military action against Islamic State should be expected to continue not for months, but years.
9:40 a.m.
Germany's defense minister is heading to Turkey as Berlin prepares to send reconnaissance jets and other help in the fight against the Islamic State group in Syria.
The Defense Ministry tells the dpa news agency that Ursula von der Leyen plans to meet with her Turkish counterpart Thursday afternoon in Ankara.
The government plans to send up to six Tornado reconnaissance planes, tanker aircraft and a frigate to help protect the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle in the eastern Mediterranean, but won't actively engage in combat. It's also planning to commit up to 1,200 soldiers to support the international coalition fighting the Islamic State group.
Two Tornados and a tanker could be sent to Turkey's Incirlik air base next week if Parliament approves the mission Friday as expected.
8:40 a.m.
France's government is welcoming the first British airstrikes in Syria, saying they are a sign of the European solidarity promised after the Nov. 13 attacks that terrorized Paris.
In a statement Thursday, the president said the British vote to begin airstrikes in Syria — and an upcoming German vote Friday to take part in the operation — were a sign that Europeans would stand together after the Islamic State attacks that killed 130 people in Paris.
