“A lot of people wrote me off” – Kelechi Iheanacho reflects on his early struggles at Leicester City

Super Eagles of Nigeria striker, Kelechi Iheanacho has shared his early struggles when he initially joined English football club, Leicester City.

Manchester City had sold Iheanacho to the Foxes on a five-year contract worth £25 million, but he performed miserably when he joined which led to some critics questioning manager, Brendan Rodgers’ decision to not offload him

His below par performances did not only cost him a place in the Leicester squad but he was also axed from Gernot Rohr’s Nigeria team to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations squad staged in Egypt.

However, he now is in a rich vein of form and has scored 18 goals in 36 appearances to overtake Jamie Vardy as the club’s top scorer this season and says he is focused on just working hard.

Reflecting on his struggles to BBC Sport Africa, Iheanacho said,

“I think a lot of people wrote me off, but I never lost faith in myself.

“I was going through a crazy and difficult time when things just didn’t work out for me.
“But I’ve worked extremely hard, and also have the manager and other staff at Leicester, and most importantly my brother and friend Wilfred [Ndidi] who stood by me.

“It’s been a really tough ride, but I’m just delighted it’s all come together for me.”

He added: “It was truly a bad patch and we all know that some people are always too quick to judge,” he continued.

“To hear some people come out now and start saying positive things again is only normal but I don’t even bother.

“I only have to prove to myself that I can do this consistently, continue to grow, help my club and country when I get the chance to play.

“We have a lot ahead of us. It’s that time of the season where you want to fight for everything in front of you and not get carried away.”

Iheanacho is expected to lead the Foxes’ attacking line-up against Chelsea in Saturday’s FA Cup final.

But in a new development, the full chat released by Iyabo shows Yomi telling her about the “kind regard” he has for her and said he will be the last one to “come for your words or post“.

He went on to tell her he was hurt that she called him out for his words in a video where his utterances gave the impression that he was leaning towards supporting Baba Ijesha.

“When you see the video, knowing how much I value you, you should call me before attacking my stance,” Yomi told Iyabo and added that her post made people subject him to cyberbullying.

At this point is when Iyabo then said she was sorry he was cyberbullied but reiterated that she will keep speaking for the victim.

After sharing the full chat, Iyabo warned Yomi Fabiyi that she’s not the one to mess with. She warned him that he can’t make peace with her on WhatsApp then go online to use her name to chase clout.

Pastor turned stripper reveals sex work has made her a better mum than her church upbringing

A church pastor who has now become a stripper revealed that her new job has given her life skills that have made her a better parent.

Nikole Mitchell, born and bred in a Baptist family in Ohio, US, became very religious in her 20s – spending six years not even kissing a man as she said “Jesus was my boyfriend“.

But when she started evaluating her sexuality she decided to change her career from a pastor to a stripper.

She now says she believes her career change is giving her children a far better start in life than they would have had if she remained religious.

Speaking to the Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast, Mitchell says she and her children freely talk about sex, consent, bodies and what’s right and not.

“[We have] All kinds of conversations and equipping them with tools that I was never equipped with as a kid growing up,” she said.

“It is now so important to me now as a mum to teach my kids these things so they have these skills for a life time, for dating, relationships, for their working environment for who they become, whatever they end up doing these are life skills everyone needs.

“I would say my work has prepared me and helped me with that better than anything else in my life.”

Nikole admitted she “had a lot of fear” leaving religion, as she worried her kids would “go mad” at her for missing out on the “community” of the church.

“Are they going to feel ashamed of me, are they going to be mad at me for embarrassing them with the internet content, all the fears that you can think of, I have thought about them a million times more than any other person?”

But having seen other people be porn stars and have children, she spoke with the pornstars and from it was the right move for her

“Now I am where I am, I feel that not only my sense of sexuality but the sex work I do is so much healthier than this sex mindset that I grew up with in the church,” she said.

“So I think that the most toxicity you can have about sexuality, sex, bodies, can come from the kind of church that I came from aond I remember looking at the big picture and thinking I’m giving my kids a much better gift.”

Now the former pastor earns around £70,000.

“We know where kidnappers are. We are only being careful” – Lai Mohammed

Nigerian Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has stated that the Federal government is not clueless as to providing a lasting solution to handle the alarming rate of insecurity in different parts of the country.

In a statement released, Lai Mohammed who had a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday, May 11, stated that the Federal government knows where different kidnappers with their victims but they are only being careful on how to attack them so as not to put the victims in harm’s way.

“It is no longer news that our dear nation is facing security challenges. However, I have read comments saying the Federal Government is overwhelmed and doesn’t have a clue as to how to tackle the challenges. Some have even gone as far as suggesting a truncation of the democratic order, a clearly treasonable stance.

Well, I am here today to assure all Nigerians that while the government acknowledges the security challenges we face at this time, from terrorism to kidnapping, banditry and farmer-herder conflict, it is definitely not overwhelmed and indeed it has the wherewithal, as you will see in the days ahead, to confront the challenges headlong and restore law and order, peace and security.”

Mohammed explained that the government indeed knew the locations of kidnappers, adding that security agencies were only being careful to avoid civilian casualties.

“One of the most difficult things to do, for a democratically-elected government, is to use the instruments of coercion against its own people. For example, while the nation’s military have superior firepower over the rag tag band of Boko Haram and ISWA, the terrorists most often than not operate among the populace, either in our villages or towns, hence the military, in tackling them, is usually careful to avoid collateral damage.

The same applies to the kidnappers who abduct our school children. Usually, the location of the kidnappers is not unknown to security forces, but they still have to exercise caution in order not to hurt the same children they are trying to rescue. Despite these inhibitions, the security forces have the wherewithal to decisively tackle the challenges” he said

Former Zimbabwean First Lady, Grace Mugabe summoned for ‘improperly’ burying her husband Robert Mugabe

Former Zimbabwean First Lady, Grace Mugabe has been summoned by traditional ruler Chief, Zvimba, for “improperly” burying her late husband and former President, Robert Mugabe at his rural home in Zvimba.

The ex-president died in Singapore in September 2019. After a prolonged disagreement between his family and the government, he was finally buried at his home village in Kutama, Zvimba in Mashonaland West.

The government had wanted to bury Mugabe at the National Heroes Acre in Harare, but his family turned down the offer, arguing that Mugabe had made it explicitly clear that he did not wish to be interred at the national shrine.

His wife Grace has now been accused of committing a taboo by burying the deceased Robert Gabriel Mugabe in a house which is a violation of the culture of the Zvimba people.

In the summons which were served on Grace Mugabe, Chief Zvimba fined her 5 beasts and one goat for going against cultural and traditional rites by burying Mugabe at his homestead. She is supposed to appear at the traditional court on May 20, 2021.

The summon reads,

“You are being summoned to appear before Chief Zvimba’s Court at Gonzo Guzha Hall, Murombedzi Growth Point on 20 May 2021 at 0930 over the following allegations.

a. You’re accused of committing a taboo by burying the deceased Robert Gabriel Mugabe in a house which is a violation of the culture of the Zvimba people. You also let Robert Gabriel Mugabe’s clothes/properties scatter.

b) All of Rober Gabriel Mugabe’s clothes/properties must be gathered and stored properly at the deceased’s house following our culture as the Zvimba people.

c) I also want the deceased – Robert Mugabe- to be reburied according to the culture of the Zvimba people at a place chosen by his relatives and mother.

d) For the above-mentioned violations, you are, therefore, required to pay 5 beasts and one goat.

1) You are allowed to bring witnesses and evidence to the court.

2) If you fail to attend the hearing without permission from the court, the court will rule in favour of the applicant.

3) If you want clarity on the matter, approach the court on the date set for the hearing”.
