Drama in Ghanaian League as 'Pressed' Goalie leaves pitch to urinate

Lol, It was drama at Ghana's top-flight league match at the weekend when match was halted for about five minutes for a goalkeeper to attend to nature’s call.

The Glo-Premier League match between Amidaus Professionals and Real Tamale United (RTU) saw some drama as the match was brought to a temporary halt to allow Amidaus goalkeeper, Eric Antwi Ofori, to attend to nature’s call.

The match was barely 30 minutes old when the incident occurred, forcing referee Prince Tawiah to stop proceedings with spectators being kept in suspense as to what was happening.

The GNA Sports gathered that goalkeeper Ofori in the course of the match suffered from a stomach upset and as a result had no option than to attend to nature’s call.

It took about four minutes for the keeper to return into action amidst laughter and cheers from the enthusiastic crowd. When nature calls, you answer regardless of where you are, lol

This is what fast rising Yoruba actress, Tope Osoba said when asked if she believed sex is only for married couples...

"I think sex is meant to be enjoyed by two people who have serious feeling for each other. Sex is good, it is there for two lovers to enjoy themselves and share the secrets of their hearts.

Nigerian Pop Singer Susan 'Goldie' Harvey Died Of Stroke-Pathologists

Medical sources at the Lagos State  University Teaching Hospital have revealed that Big Brother Africa singing sensation Oluwabimpe Susan Harvey aka "Goldie" died of Intracranial hemorrhage as a result of hypertension.

Several of the sources told Saharareporters exclusively that Mrs. Harvey had bleeding in her brain which could be attributed to hypertension.

The confirmation put to rest earlier speculation by her managers and fans that she died of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) as a result of her long journey  from the Grammy's Award in the US.

One of our sources said that they could not immediately determine if drugs consumption triggered the excessive amount of bleeding that killed her as it was rare for someone her age to die of stroke.

The medical source stated that a toxicology test would be required to find out if her death was caused by drugs, a process that would likely take months as conclusive  tests could only be conducted outside Nigeria.

The pop singer died on Valentine day shortly after returning from the US.

The cause of death has been a source of speculation and resentment as her fans, and friends objected to suggestions that she might have died due to drug addiction.

PHOTOS: Dare Art Alade's 'Love Like A Movie' Concert feat Kim Kardashian

 

Kim Kardashian was in Lagos on Sunday 17th February 2013 for Darey‘s “Love Like a Movie” event. The event was spectacular – it definitely upped the standard of events staged in Nigeria in terms of theatrics. The stage, lighting, music and dramatic circus arts took things to the next level.

As everyone knows, Kim was one of the major attractions of the event.  Kim was clad in a black leather dress which hid her baby bump paired with high-heeled black sandals.

There was no need for Kim Kardashian at Darey's concert! None Whatsoever... Charles Novia

I first met Darey in 1999 at Jazzville, a unique and bohemian music club of sorts which was the core pulse of the Lagos weekend social scene for many years up till 2001 when it was officially closed. Darey was a quiet young man then who would perform a few songs and play excellent notes on the keyboard. Then, I was somewhat of a total artiste moonlighting with stand-up comedy every friday night there as the in-house emcee who took over from the late Mohammed Danjuma of blessed memory. For over a year, every Friday night I would guide the good-natured revellers through the program for the long night, with occassional singing with the band on my part. Within that period, I met Darey who actually was honing his skills through the Jazzville experience with the help of Muyiwa Majekudunmi, the founder of Jazzville.

Darey and I maintained some staccato contact for a few years after that and I have admirably watched his growth and ascendency on the Nigerian Music Scene with pride, being a 'Jazzville alumnus' like him.
