Welcome to yellowdanfo

The picture of the Kidnapped Lagos School Boys, seems to show some interesting features. Chelsea, Barcelona, Arsenal and United...they clearly love football, and despite their challenges, they still showed their love for their various teams....

Manchester United and Jose Mourinho, finally unveiled their £40million new signing from Chelsea, Nemanja Matic. The player who signed a three year contract with United, is set to make yet another reunion with Jose Mourinho for the second time.

The top gist from NBA right now, is that of Cleveland Cavalier and the possible trade of Kyrie Irving, who was rumoured to have gotten over eight teams interested to trade. But incoming and one time NBA Most Valuable Player Derrick Rose is asking Kyrie Irving to stay, as he hope to play alongside him and Lebron James, for a possible Championship win next season. As reported by NBA.COM, the agent to Rose, Mr Armstrong, while speaking on Rose and his intentions to leave New York and join Cleveland, said: “Did we miss something?,”  “Is there something going [on] in New York we didn’t see? We all would agree they are on a different timeline than Derrick — a young team with great young talent there and trying to build something for the future. They’re not on the same timeline as players who are a little older and experienced. He said on New York trying to build with Rose.

Nigerians especially politicians have been talking and complaining about the President being away for too long, that some are beginning to count the number of days the President have been away from the Country.  But the question still remains, by being away on medical leave for almost 100days now, is the President violating the rules of the Nigerian Constitution?  The 1999 Constitution clearly answered the above question, and I would like to share for those who do not know about this.  The 1999 Constitution, even as amended, made no provisions as to how long a sitting President can be away or stay outside of the country. The only thing that came close and which President Buhari already fulfilled before leaving for London, is this section:(145).

The Time Table for next season UEFA Champions League are out, with group stage set for August 24th. See the Table:

Real Madrid and Portuguese Star, Cristiano Ronaldo, today reported in Court for his hearing on tax fraud, after Spanish Authorities accused him of not paying taxes to the authorities. Ronaldo who has threatened to leave Spain as he feels he is been targeted, refused to speak to the huge media presence in front of the Court, as he steps out of his Car. But when one Journalist shouted, asking why he was in Court, the World best footballer, said:

Chelsea and Premier League management, celebrate Antonio Conte as he clocks 48 today. The Italian who made his managerial debut in the Premier League last season, and won the league, is been celebrated by his Club, as they put up some pictures celebrating him. See some of the pictures:

Sometimes you wonder why some Nigerians like to talk-down on their leaders and Country, on every 'little issues'. Most times, once a foreign President or personality say degrading things about our country (which most times are not correct), rather than stand up and correct such people or insinuations, we join the bandwagon to further pull down the country. I woke up this morning, to see on social media, the program i saw on CNN last night (The GPS by Fareed Zakaria on CNN) was making headlines in Nigeria News media...which such headline as: "CNN MOCKS NIGERIA" Just because of the above question. Now, you ask yourself, was CNN like they claimed really 'mocking' Nigeria or Nigerians or we are the ones making a fool out of ourselves, by giving such an headline it did not deserve? Does Fareed understands our how Constitution operates, and what does the 1999 Constitution say about President's absence from the country?

Barcelona could in the next 48hours, be saying their goodbyes to their player, and Brazilian International, Neymar.  A fresh report from Qatar suggests that Neymar who did not travel back with Barcelona after their pre-season tour, is waiting behind for his medicals with Paris Saint Germain. Though Barcelona officials gave reasons why Neymar did not travel back with his other team mates back to Spain, as because of his scheduled endorsement deals in China he had to sign; so he left US for China to sign the contract papers, and will join the team afterwards. But the Arab Newspaper suggests otherwise, saying Neymar, will be in China, sign his Contract with a Chinese sponsorship outfit, from where he will be meeting with PSG officials, to finalize his move to the French Club, with a possible Medical, as early as Tuesday, 1st of August, 2017.

Real Madrid Captain, Sergio Ramos after their defeat to their rival, Barcelona, responded to the transfer rumour surrounding Neymar. The Spanish International who was disappointed in their results so far in the preseason, said he would be happy if Neymar should leave, insisting that would be a great relief for Madrid. He said: "I have a good relationship with him. We don't know. I changed shirts with him and I hope it will be his last for Barcelona as it would mean us getting rid of a problem. He has not said anything to me and I am not going to talk about personal things, everyone is free to choose their future. I think he is a great footballer, a vital player for Barcelona and he will decide his future. It would get rid of a problem for us as in the big games he makes the difference." On the huge Madrid fans in miami, he said:

Chelsea have agreed a transfer fee of £40million with United, for midfielder, Nemanja Matic. The player already completed his medicals, ahead of his official unveiling tomorrow. The 29 year old,former Chelsea man who has won the English premier league twice in three previous seasons, will also earn a week wage of £200,000, plus add-on and other benefits, could get to £250,000  per week. Not bad for a player looking forward to retirement soon. Matic could play his first game for Manchester United as early as next week, as United take on Real Madrid in the Super Cup. He will be announced on Monday, and reunite with Jose Mourinho again, for the second time. Manager Jose Mourinho signed him for second time in 2014 for £21million, after leaving Chelsea in 2011, and now he is bringing same player back to work with him.

Luiz Suarez and Tiger (image: twitter) Barcelona Star, Luiz Suarez just revealed to the world, who is Idol is, and the motivation behind all those goals. It is not Maradona or any of the world greatest footballers, as any football fans would have guessed; but no, his Idol is a Golf legend, Tiger Wood. The Barcelona Striker took to his social media handle, to share the picture and captioned it with a lovely message. I am sure Tiger Wood would be proud a footballer such as Suarez sees him as his idol. See his Tweet:

The European Champions, Real Madrid suffers yet another defeat from Spanish rival, Barcelona, as Lionel Messi scores as early in the early minutes of  kick off, to give Barcelona a well deserved victory. Goals from Messi and Rakitic gave Barcelona a 3-2 win over Real Madrid in Miami. The Real Madrid fast rising star, Marco Asensio came in and showed the big boys of Real Madrid how it is done, as he put one back, to level the game before the break. The game was without the usual el clasico drama, as both teams gave the fans some real el clasico challenge, which the packed up fan in the stadium loved. Unfortunately for the thousands of Real Madrid fans, their team without Ronaldo were beaten from goals from usual suspects on the Barca side. But shortly before the break, the referee waved away Messi's claims for a penalty as he went down under the challenge of three Real players.

After the misunderstanding between him and fellow team mate at the training ground, Barcelona Star, Neymar has reported back to the team, ahead of the clasico game tonight. But the talk of him leaving Barca to Paris Saint-Germain, has been one hot topic in the mouth of everybody, most especially his team mates. Since the news broke out that he wanting out, his fellow teammates have been voicing their views, and one of such people, has been Gerard Pique. who when asked by ESPN, said all that has been going on, can only be stopped by Neymar himself, and the earlier the better for everybody. He said:

The Battle between PSG and Barcelona over Brazilian International, Neymar seems to have been drawn, as Barcelona has gone to dust-off the History books of PSG; as relates to Financial Fair Play Rules in the transfer market. They threatened to use PSG previous offense and report to FIFA, should they continue their pursuit of their player, Neymar. The Spanish giant are willing to report PSG to FIFA and UEFA, if at the end, PSG goes ahead and signed their player, whose father have been rumoured to have already agreed a £500,000 per week deal with PSG for his son.  This move according to Barcelona, will be violating the FIFA Financial Fair Play Rules, which could cost them (PSG) the Chmapions league  next season.

Keeping Up with the Kardashian star, Khloe has taken to her social media page, to share a stunning picture of her 'mommy' and grandma, 61year old, Kris Jenner, whom she referred to in the picture as 'Bad'. Khloe who seems to be shocked at this 'new' Kris, shared the picture on her twitter page, with a caption: '6kidsAndBad!'. I am sure Caitlyn Jenner will be like...'What d****k have I done'...lol....See her tweet:

Maradona in 1986 World Cup (image:twitter.com) One of football greats, and the man with the 'Hand of God', plus  world cup winner with his country Argentina, Diego Maradona has given his take on the new technology introduced in football, by FIFA. He said while urging world football governing body, FIFA to adopt same in all its competitions. Maradona who granted an interview to FIFA.com, talked about the role of the new technology in football, his experience playing without them among other things. The technology which was first used in FIFA youth competition in 2017, and the Confederation Cup in Russia, attracted alot of comments, some in favour, while others kicked against it. Maradona on his part said:

Chelsea 1-2 Inter Milan Leicester City 0- 1Wolves Forest 1-1 Burnley Werder Bremen 2- 2 West Ham Aston Vila 0-0 Watford

English Premier League last season runners up, Spurs has announced that their player, Marcus Edwards has put pen to paper, to extend his contract with the club, till 2020. The 18year old Marcus Edwards who has been praised by manager Pochettino, whose abilities on the ball, has been likened to that of Barcelona Star, Lionel Messi, has attracted alot of interest from rival clubs.

A mom who claims to have used her breast milk to a recipe for her brownies, have been receiving alot of some hash comments on her facebook page. The news which according to  Allthemoms.com, was said to have happened with a mom who wanted to make brownies (not amala oh) for her child, discovered she was out of milk and could not go out and get one at the store, so she decided to use her breast milk for the brownies instead. Afterwards, she took to her facebook page to post a question asking if it was right to do so. Is like your wife or mom serving you milk with her breast milk...lol..see her post and the reactions:

Pacers new Jersey (Image: NBA) The Indiana Pacers of the Eastern Conference of the NBA league, yesterday, unveiled their new Jersey logo for the next season, as they look forward to a better outing in the conference, next season. As reported by NBA website, the Indianapolis who are celebrating 51st season, decided to marks the beginning of a new chapter with a new logo on their jersey.

Arsenal are set to kick start their Emirate Cup against Benfica at the London Emirate, after their preseason tour of Asia. With the likes of new signing Lacazette and Ozil dropped to the bench, the French manager is continuing his experiment of the Antonio Conte's three at the back. Meanwhile, manager, Arsene Wenger has welcomed the over 400 brave men and women firefighters at the Grenfell Tower disaster, to the game, honouring their good work at saving human lives and bravery. Here are the Arsenal team list:

The question of if Alvaro Morata was worth all that millions of British pounds or not, has started pouring in, after just two games, and they are not kind comments. Some Chelsea fans has taken to their twitter handle, to troll the Spanish striker on after losing yet another game to Inter Milan in Singapore, felt the former Real Madrid man, is not the ideal Chelsea striker, and questions Conte's decision to sign him.

Manchester City and Pep Guardiola, has made an incredible offer of £400,000 per week deal to  Arsenal's player, Alexis Sanchez, and are also offering Arsenal £50million for the signature of the Chilean International. A fee, I feel they will find hard to turn down, given Sanchez has just one year left in his contract. Alexis Sanchez who is reported to be back to London, is yet to report to team camp, as he is rumoured to be sick and under medication. But it is yet unknown if he would agree to a new deal of £275,000 Per week, which Wenger offered the player, or force in a transfer request, so the club can allow him leave.

(Image: Chelsea FC) English Premier League Champions, Chelsea, fails again in Singapore, as they were beaten by Italian side, Inter Milan. The English Champions missed alot of chances, and could have easily beaten Inter by many goals as possible, but the Italian side did their best to contain the English side, while they ran home with a 1-2 victory on the night in Singapore.

Finally Pictures surfaces online of Everton's officials, actually presenting a club jersey to one of African's long serving President, and a dictator, Yoweri Museveni of Uganda in his office. This to me, is very disappointing to see, and you would want to ask, what was the Jersey meant for? to make him encourage football in his country or what?  There is no doubt for the last few years, the Ugandan Football has seen alot of improvement, but what  can a man that cannot encourage popular participation in an electoral system in his country do to encourage football development. Since he cannot give Uganda people popular democracy, he is sure not capable of encouraging Sports.

After losing to Bayern Munich, Chelsea are set to face Italian side, Inter Milan in the second game of the competition. Manager, Antonio Conte has given a starting role to new signing, Morata, while Ruediger has been called to the bench. All eyes will be on Perisic, playing for Inter, and also Manchester United target. United were reported reported to have dropped their interest on the player, but his performance today could change all that. See the lineup:

Osinbajo and Wike (Image:NGRPresidency) Acting President Osinbajo was in Rivers State today to inaugurate what has been said to be the largest Fertilizer plant in Africa and possibly the largest in the world.

Hector who signed for Chelsea in 2015, could not make it into the Chelsea first team, and has now been loaned to Hull City, for more game experience. Hull City on their handle, said:

Talk of 'Gbaju eh' If you are Yoruba, you should be able to understand that, if not...wait for our London translator. The manager of Manchester City Pep Guardiola, just days after bringing in World Most expensive defender, Benjamin Mendy from French side Monaco, for a record transfer fee of £52million , is just realizing the 'product' he bought, was ab-initio, faulty (I am laughing my primary school laugh). Pep Guardiola who spoke in a press conference after his win against Real Madrid, said, the French man Benjamin Mendy, is injured and will not be available for about six weeks; and he was just taking a guess, meaning it could be longer.

Relationships in America can be funny sometimes, or should I be saying, are actually funny. I mean Blac Chyna with Lamar Odom? in same event in the presence of another Baby Daddy, Tyga (He careless anyway), how funny and crazy can that be...watch the space Khloe... Lamar and Chyna were at the launching of the iGo.Live Apps, and Tyga too. It was all fun and laugh, as she stun in her lovely dress, Chyna claims she is happy and good, as she is all about positive energy, and no bad blood with no body...referring to Tyga at the event. She said, since Tyga is the father to her son, they have no choice, but to be good for their son. The last  person you did want to see Blac Chyna hanging out with after her social media fracas with Baby Daddy, Rod Kardashian, is Lamar Odom.This advise actually goes both ways! as I just cannot imagine these two together (disaster waiting to happen). Rob could use this as a mean to get full custody of his daughter, if ever these two end up together.....

After the Nigerian Senate passed the Bill supporting the 'Not Too Young To Run' Group, in their amendment of the 1999 Constitution, on age limit, the lower House has followed their colleague to support the bill. The House of Reps who were unable to vote on the same Bill yesterday, due to some 'test run' being carried out on the voting system; ended up voting today (Thursday). The out just like that of the Red Chamber, was in favour of the Bill, supporting the move.

Reactions have been trailing President Donald Trump's move to stop transgender from serving in the US Military, sighting heavy cost of medical care. It is said that it will cost the Government about $8million in medical bills for the transgender soldiers, who are just about 1.5% of the entire US military population. This according to the President, would be better is they do not serve in the Military, so that such 'unnecessary' expenditure will be channeled to other pressing needs. He also insists that what it takes to maintain a transgender (medical wise) in the Military, is far more than what is being spent on a non-transgender person serving in the same US military. This surely is a bombshell to the transgender community and those already serving in the US military. It seems to me, like he tricked them; especially the likes of Caitlyn Jenner who openly supported Trump during his campaign in the Presidential election. The President who has had a rough week, (it ha...

The Governor laying the foundation (image:KogiGovernor'office) The Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello who has been tagged as the 'Action' Governor, who talk less and do more, has once again, lived up to that nicked-name, as he flagged off yet another Project in the state. The new project is the construction of 240 blocks of two classrooms in 80 Primary schools across the 21 Local Government Areas of within the State.  The Governor who along his Commissioners and Project manager, kicked off the first phase of the Project at the GYB Model Primary School, said his administration will do everything possible to provide comfortable edifice and quality education for the children of the poorest of the poor in the State, and those that cannot take their children to private schools.

The group, 'Not Too Young To Run' who in the last few days, have caused gridlock in the road leading to the Nigeria National Assembly in Abuja, all in their quest for a political inclusion of 'Youths' in running the affairs of the country, has released a press statement. The Press Statement released by the  group, commended the Leadership of  the Nigerian Senate, especially the President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki, for his leadership so far in the Senate, and passing the bill as they have requested. The Group which stormed the National Assembly during Senate deliberations on the review of the Country's 1999 Constitution, asked for age reduction in running for offices such as Federal Legislative offices, Governor, and Office of the President.

Fury (image: Mirror) The news coming from former Heavy Weight Boxing Champion, Tyson Fury is one that will not go down well with lovers and fans of the sport boxing, especially those in the UK. Fury who was in pole position to take on Anthony Joshua, after his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko, yet again, announced his retirement from the sport, via his social media page.  A report yesterday by The Mirror, suggest that the former boxing Champion, could have giving up his fight to return to shape, as he keeps struggling to stay in shape after defeating Wladimir Klitschko in 2005. He parties hard, failed drug test, and hardly goes to the gym, all these, even the current Heavy weight Champion, Anthony Joshua slammed him for in their numerous social media rants, asking him to go take care  of himself, then he can come and ask for a fight, which he promised to give Fury, for the sake of the UK fans.

English Premier League side, Liverpool has placed an outrageous amount of £133million on 25year old, and their key man, Philippe Countino; as Barcelona move inches closer, at securing the signature of the Brazilian International. Liverpool who have consistently said the player is not going anywhere, as he is not for sale, could see the player leave, as rumour has it that his agent has already had talks with Barcelona officials in London, for a possible move to Spain. Countinho, who himself signed a five years contract extension with Liverpool in January 2017, has told friends (Messi and Neymar), he is ready to switch the Premier League club for Barcelona. He said, even if it means him getting a pay cut, he would leave, so he can go to club where he is sure of winning trophies...ouch!

Chief Femi Fani Kayode, a member of the PDP opposition party, has taken to his twitter handle as usual, to 'advise' President Buhari who his in London on medical vacation, to resign and go home to rest. This is coming days after a picture of the President surfaced online with some Governors from the 'six geopolitical' zones who paid him a visit in London, with the President whom was rumoured to be in life support, laughing and eating dinner with his visitors. Femi Fani-Kayode who has been the number one critic of the President and his administration, after seeing the pictures took to his twitter page to what in a way look like a 'political advise' to the President. His tweets reads:

Justin Bieber have been reported to have struck a 57year old paparazzi with his truck, as he tries to escape them while leaving an event in Beverly Hills.

After paying a visit to President Buhari in the Abuja House in London, the Governor of Imo State, Rocha Okorocha, who led the delegation of  some APC Governors, the Party's Chairman and a Minister, said he was shocked to find that the President is doing fine, contrary to the rumour being spread. The Imo State Governor lambasted rumour mongers for giving Nigerians false information, as he said, the President is well, and not in Hospital or in any life-support, as he is full of humour. He said further that, the President is doing well and in the Abuja House, taking a rest, and being giving some vitamins in order to gain some weight where necessary, as Doctors recommend.

The Transfer market so far this season, has seen some of the craziest deals in the history of world football, and most especially in the English Premier League. The top teams have made some big signings, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City, all spending big in order to make an impact next season. As the League sponsorship money increases, clubs are no longer shy to spend, and sell as they know wining or remaining in the league, sure will bring alot of money. But the focus is on Manchester City, who are desperately in need of success, and are bringing in players to make sure they have it.

Bardsley (Image:BurnleyFC) Former Stoke City defender, with alot of Premier League experience, Bardsley today, signed for Burnley. As the club look to build for next season, and maintain their premier league status, they are bringing more experience. Bardsley, 32, will be their second signing from Stoke, after bringing in Walters, and the two of them are coming with alot of experience...  While unveiling the new signing, manager Sean Dyche insist: “Phil brings experience. He knows the division and his way around it and he knows there’s a real competitive element to the squad and he’ll have to earn the right to play,”

Manchester United midfielder, and French International, Paul Pogba might have just confirmed the likely exit of Zlatan Ibrahimovic from the club, as he tweets calling himself the leader of the team. Though it is not yet certain if Zlatan will continue playing for United after his recovery, and with the departure of Wayne Rooney, the team will surely need a leader aside the captain. Zlatan Ibrahimovic even with Rooney around, provided that, as his presence alone was all the other teammates needed and they were all good to go. He even led the way in front of goals, as his goals got them the trophies they won last season. But Pogba who lacks that leadership qualities, is stepping up, as he feels since the exit of Wayne Rooney and possible Zlatan, the onus lies on him to resume the mantle of leadership of the club.

Talking of protecting what you have, especially if they have brought you so much success; and that is what Golden State Warriors has just done, penning down the most important players in the team, aside Green, to a contract, as they look to retain the NBA Championship next time around.  The NBA franchise put up a post regarding this on the social media page saying: "The 2017 NBA Champion Golden State Warriors have re-signed free agents Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Andre Iguodala, Shaun Livingston, Zaza Pachulia and David West to contracts, the team announced today.
