Big match feature: Iran v Nigeria

Nigeria will go into their first group game
against Iran looking to bury the ghosts of
World Cup past by winning their first game
at the football showpiece event for the first
time since France1998 .
Coach Stephen Keshi, in particular will look to make history
as the first Nigerian to captain and coach a Nigerian team
to the World Cup finals by nicking a first win in six attempts
as the Super Eagles look to lay a marker in Group F of the
2014 Fifa World Cup.
Iran will be lead by Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz, who is
a proven tactician and has molded a strong defensive unit
with Team Melli.
The Iranian team have been set up to be difficult to beat
and usually use the counter-attacking style of play to
devastating effect.
The 61-year-old Portuguese coach, who has had stints in
England, Spain, the United States, Japan and South Africa,
will be leading Iran into their first World Cup since 2006
and will look to build on their recent progress with a strong
showing against Nigeria and other Group F teams.
Previous meetings:
Nigeria and Iran have clashed only once at full international,
with the Africans coming out tops at the 1998 Carlsberg
International Invitational tournament held in Hong Kong
Ahmed Garba's 50th minute effort was the only goal as
Nigeria defeated Iran at the Hong Kong Stadium ,on their
way to clinching the invitational tournament ahead of Chile
and a selected Hong Kong XI.

Form going into the game:
Nigeria:- D D D L
Iran:- D D D W
Team news:
Nigeria:
Defender Elderson Echiejile, who has been ruled out of the
tournament, has been replaced by Ejike Uzoenyi, while
Kenneth Omeruo, who sat out the loss to United States has
made progress and is expected to start against the
Iranians.
Iran:
Queiroz has the full complement of his squad to chose from
as there are no major injury worries. Veteran skipper Javad
Nekounam will lead from the midfield ably supported by
Dutch-born forward Reza Ghoochannejhad.
What they said:
Mikel (Nigeria)
"We know we're the African champions and people expect
us to do well, to represent the African continent. That's a
bit more extra pressure but it's pressure that we love. We
love to be African champions."
Carlos Queiroz ( Iran)
"This is our 'Mission Impossible' once, twice and three
times, but this is what makes the tournament attractive."
Players to watch:
Nigeria:
Victor Moses:
The Chelsea winger has arguably been Nigeria's stand out
performer in the build up to the World Cup as the Super
Eagles struggled in their preparatory games.
Blessed with pace, the former Crystal Palace player can be
a handful for opposing defenders to deal with. He will be
Nigeria's main attacking threat against Iran as the Super
Eagles look to end their no-win hoodoo.
Vincent Enyeama.
First choice for both club and country, Enyeama goes into
the tournament as the best African player in the French top
division, which will do a lot for his confidence.
A tremendous shot-stopper, he has clearly improved his
ability to deal with crosses which were his Achilles heels.
Brazil 2014 will be his third World Cup appearance and is
among the most experienced member of Coach Stephen
Keshi's squad.
Iran:
Steven Beitashour:
The American-born defender is a late comer into Queiroz
squad, and will be playing his first international tournament
for Team Melli after making his debut last October.
A full back that loves to bomb forward, Beitashour was
drafted at the number 30 pick in the Major League Soccer
draft in 2010 by the San Jose Earthquakes and will hope to
continue his steady rise with a decent showing in his first
World game against Nigeria.
Ashkan Dejagah:
The poster boy of Iranian footballer who had a good season
with Barclays Premier League side, Fulham despite the
London team being relegated.
Dejagah is a combative midfielder who also plays in
advanced midfield positions where he sets himself to be
among the goals for club and country. Queiroz will surely rely
on him to provide the front line with needed support to
trouble Nigeria.
Odd tale:
A survey conducted before the start of the 2014 Fifa World
Cup by Yougov, an online survey firm showed that Iran
alongside Argentina and the United States are the most
hated teams at the tournament.

Blessed Are The Peace Maker: 7 Ways To Avoid Conflict As Much As Possible

NEGATIVITY AND DRAMA ARE NOT GOOD FOR YOU MENTALLY OR PHYSICALLY. THEY CAN CAUSE STRESS, WHICH IS HARMFUL TO YOU IN MANY WAYS. AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, CUT THESE PEOPLE OUT OF YOUR LIFE. IF THEY ARE SOMEONE YOU CANT DO THAT WITH, LET THEM KNOW YOU ARE ON A JOURNEY TO GET RID OF NEGATIVITY AND DRAMA. 

 

 It is always good to know ways to avoid conflict. Conflict is something we sometimes have to have, but there are other times when it is better to avoid it. That is a personal call we each have to make. However, if you are in a situation when you need to do so, these are some ways to avoid conflict that can help you out. 

 

 1. BE KIND 

 

 Conflict can come in many different areas of our life and there are ways to avoid conflict in each of them. Conflict can be in our jobs, our family relationships or other relationships. Whichever way conflict is coming at you, being kind can help. Kindness can disarm conflict. It can also have many other wonderful results. 

 

 2. DONT GET IN THE MIDDLE OF SITUATIONS 

 

 Sometimes we get in the middle of other people's situations because we want to help. While the motivation is pure, it isnt the best action. It can draw you right into the middle of a conflict. Then, if you express any opinion on either side, you may have a new conflict to deal with. It is best to just let other people work out their own situations without you. 

 

 3. BE A PEACEKEEPER 

 

 Another way to avoid conflict is to be a peacekeeper. Be a person that likes peace and strives to have it. Dont be anxious to jump into a conflict. Even if you arent a natural born peacekeeper, you can learn the skill. Ask someone to whom it does come naturally for tips. 

 

 4. WALK IT OFF 

 

 In other words, when stress is getting to you and the temptation to give in to conflict is there, choose to deal with the stress in another way. It can help to take a walk to get some perspective. Get away from the situation for a bit to cool off. Putting some distance between yourself and the person you may have conflict with is helpful. It can defuse the situation. 

 

 5. DONT ENGAGE 

 

 Sometimes people try to force you into conflict. If this is the case with you, choose not to engage. This means that you dont give in to their ploys to draw you into conflict. This has a hidden benefit, too. It will more than likely cause them aggravation because they could not get to you, so you win without having any conflict. 

 

 6. AVOID TRIGGER PEOPLE 

 

 We all have trigger people. Trigger people are those that make us want to have a conflict with them. They do not bring out the best in you. They make you want to go head to head over something. It is best to just avoid the trigger people in your life. 

 

 7. CUT NEGATIVITY AND DRAMA OUT OF YOUR LIFE 

 

 Negativity and drama are not good for you mentally or physically. They can cause stress, which is harmful to you in many ways. As much as you can, cut these people out of your life. If they are someone you cant do that with, let them know you are on a journey to get rid of negativity and drama. This should let them know to take those things somewhere else. 

Northern Monarch Under Probe Over Boko Haram Links

here were strong indications, yesterday, that the

 Security services have commenced a high-level investigation of a monarch in northern Nigeria, suspected to have links with the members of Islamist sect Boko Haram, indications have emerged.

 The investigation followed the intelligence gathered from Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, regarding difficulties being faced by Nigeria in extraditing Aminu-Sadiq Ogwuche, the alleged mastermind of the April 14, 2014, bombing of Nyanya motor-park, near Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, where over 100 lives were lost.

 Situation was so embarrassing that the jet, provided by the Nigerian government to convey the suspect from the Sudanese capital, Khatoum, returned after waiting for three days without making a headway in the extradition process, a source told vanguard.

 According to information gathered from the traditional ruler's base, Sudan and Abuja, suggested that the focus of the investigation of the monarch had to do with funding and remittances allegedly made with a view to blocking the extradition of Ogwuche.

 The sudden uncooperative disposition of the Sudanese government in the matter, Vanguard gathered is not unconnected with the influence which the traditional ruler is known to wield in Sudan, as well as his contacts over the years in that Islamic country.

 All efforts by Vanguard to get official confirmation from the National Information Centre, saddled with the co-ordination and dissemination of information regarding the war on terror, proved abortive. Sources in the intelligence community however insisted that a good lead was being followed in the matter concerning the monarch.

 It is something that is very discreet that we are doing but I will neither confirm nor deny to you that we are carrying out investigation to substantiate the claims of complicity by the monarch, a highly placed source said.

 It was discovered that the main reason for the forceful blocking of the extradition of Ogwuche is to stall any possibility of his return to Nigeria and buckle under intense interrogation and possibly reveal the names of the sponsors of the insurgents, the source said.

 President Goodluck Jonathan is ready to go to any length, working with the security agencies, to get to the root of the matter and ensure that Nigerians are spared the terror unleashed by insurgents. Nobody, no matter how highly placed in the society, would be spared and the country is ready to ensure that Ogwuche is brought back to this country to face the consequences of his alleged action, said the security source.

 Saturday Vanguard had, yesterday, reported that Sudans refusal to extradite Ogwuche followed the alleged intervention of the monarch. He was said to have moved in to stop the extradition of the suspect using the instrumentality of his alma mater, African International University, in Sudan.

 Apart from this, Sudan whose President, Omar al-Bashir, is wanted by the International Criminal Court, ICC, for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur, has no bilateral agreement with any country in the world on extradition of criminals.

 The monarch, who was said to have used alma mater on several occasions to recommend and secure admission for some Nigerian youths in Sudan, allegedly used his influence to reach out to some old students of the university to frustrate the extradition of Ogwuche possibly to prevent Nigerian security from getting details from the suspect on some of the financiers of Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria.

 Ogwuche was declared wanted by the Department of State Services, DSS, after linking him to the deadly blast in Nyanya which claimed over 75 lives.

 However, the arraignment in absentia was again allegedly questioned by the Sudanese government which also doubted the genuineness of the allegations against the suspected terrorist, saying that he (Ogwuche) could have been framed. [Vanguard

Ivory Coast Coach Sabri Lamouchi Hails Game Dider Drogba

Ivory Coast coach Sabri Lamouchi hailed the impact of Didier Drogba after his team's come-from-behind 2-1 win over Japan. 

 

  Tweet 

 

  Drogba injured his thigh in training on Thursday and started on the bench in Ivory Coast's FIFA World Cup opener on Saturday, with Lamouchi selecting Wilfried Bony up front in Recife. 

 

  Without Drogba, who had scored seven goals in his past nine appearances for his country, Lamouchi's side appeared to lack ideas in attack as they chased Japan, who took the lead in the 16th minute at the Itaipava Arena Pernambuco through Keisuke Honda. 

 

  Lamouchi brought Drogba on in the 62nd minute and although the 36-year-old did not create or score either of Ivory Coast's goals, the French coach claimed the bustling striker made a big difference. 

 

  "We didn't start the game very well by conceding through a lapse in concentration," Lamouchi said. 

 

  "After that, we got into a lot of good positions. For us it was really important to start well this tournament. To have a player like Didier Drogba in your squad, as a starter or a sub, changes a game." 

 

  Within a minute of coming off the bench, Drogba almost set up a goal with a clever back-heel in the area, which Gervinho could not capitalise on. 

 

  Soon after, Bony equalised with a header from Serge Aurier and when the right-back crossed for Gervinho two minutes later, Ivory Coast were in front. 

 

  Drogba could have stretched his team's lead even further late in the match as his powerful free-kick was parried away by Eiji Kawashima and a shot from the edge of the box was deflected just the wrong side of the post. 

 

  But despite that, Ivory Coast held on to win their opening game at a World Cup for the first time. 

 

  At the previous two World Cups finals, the Ivory Coast failed to get out of their group after missing out on victory in their first match, although Lamouchi underlined that winning the opening game was not a guarantee of reaching the round of 16. 

 

  "The players are very happy with the victory but we are not yet qualified," he said. 

 

  Ivory Coast face Group C leaders Colombia on Thursday in Brasilia.

SisQó Debuts New Music at Summerstage Concert in Brookly NY

Brooklyn locals and NYC music lovers gathered to Betsy Head Park in Brownsville Wednesday night to watch R&B artist SisQó perform his greatest hits. The former Dru Hill member who recently performed in Australia,  had fans signing his lyrics verbatim as he delivered an energetic live show in the Brownsville neighborhood. Sisqo opened the concert with a fast-paced new record called “A List”.  The “Thong Song” singer revealed that he is currently working on an album titled The Last Dragon. Sisqo’s final studio album is scheduled to release this summer.
Memorable moments of the show include SisQó performing “Unleash the Dragon”. The platinum blonde crooner sang while moving in unison with his back-up dancers, proving that he didn’t lose his touch. SisQó was at the top of his game in the early 2000’s, having two of his singles reach top three of the Billboard Hot 100.
Towards the middle of the show, SisQó scanned the crowd and said “I’m gonna slow it down for all the people that know me from my R&B days”. Suddenly the DJ drops “Incomplete”, a smooth sounding record from SisQó’s first album. After SisQó performed some of his solo hits, he channeled his career beginnings by performing Dru Hill records. SisQó was once the lead vocalist of that particular 90’s R&B group.
Songs such as “Tell Me” and “Sleeping in My Bed” had concert- goers two-stepping and snapping in the park. The concert came to a close around sunset. SisQó’s final performance of the night was the “Thong Song”, which happens to be his most famous record. Summerstage’s next Brooklyn show will be the Salute to Hip Hop, taking place June 18th at Herbert Von King Park.
