Lionel Messi’s wife, Antonella Roccuzzo, who reportedly arrived Russia today to support her star husband – has reacted to Argentina’s victory over Nigeria.
The 30-year-old took to her Instagram page few minutes ago to share a picture of her husband celebrating after opening the first goal of the match as she hailed him in Spanish.
She wrote; VAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSS MI AMOOOOOORRRRR!!!!!
It’s been a miserable tournament thus far for the Barcelona superstar, as his missed penalty in the opening game against Iceland was followed by his side’s capitulation against Croatia in a 3-0 defeat.
Antonella Roccuzzo, hasn’t been in Russia until today as she explained why she hadn’t flown out sooner to support her husband at the world cup tournament.
She said; “I did not go because I have very young children and because it was scheduled like this,”. “Moreover, I want to enjoy some time with my family who I am not going to see until December.”
With Nigeria bound for a last-16 spot, Argentina defender Marcos Rojo popped up with a spectacular late goal to help La Albiceleste to a 2-1 victory, thus, seeing them progress at the expense of the Super Eagles.
A non-governmental organization identified as Come Alive Initiative raised an alarm over the use of Indian Hemp as gift items during public functions in Onitsha.
According to reports from Punch Metro, the alarm was raised on Tuesday.
The organisation alleged that Indian hemp is sometimes served at burial ceremonies and other private functions to willing guests.
The national coordinator of the CAI, Mr. Victor Enwezor, raised the concerns during a symposium on drug abuse in Onitsha to mark this year’s International Drug Day, themed, “Drug/Substance Abuse: Its effects on the socio-economic development of communities.”
Enwezor said that drug abuses had posed socio-economic challenges to the development of Onitsha.
He said, ”If you come to some burial ceremonies or other events here in Onitsha, you will see cannabis wrapped like pills and served in tray with lighters.
“These things are in the open and nobody seems to want to talk about it.
“We need to begin to expose some of these things, unless we want to continue to live in illusion.”
Enwezor said the purpose of CAI was to end the menace in Onitsha and environs.
While urging government to resist any temptation to legalise hard drugs, Enwezor said security institutions and the judiciary should be equipped and funded to tackle what he called “inducement of officials by drug barons.”
He said that CAI, in the past three years, had rehabilitated 28 victims of drug abuse, while 11 others were undergoing treatment.
Speaking, the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, said drug abuse and cultism were the major causes of crime in the area and called on parents and guardians to monitor their children.
Achebe, who hailed CAI for its efforts in rehabilitating drug victims, called for the sustenance of the awareness.
In his speech, the Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Garba Umar, warned youths to avoid drug offences or face the wrath of the law.
A young Somali man who married two women on the same night has granted an interview to the BBC asking men to do the same thing.
Bashir Mohamed said he courted both women for about eight months and convinced them to marry him.
“I used to bring them together to socialise with me at my home,” he told BBC Somali.
“I used to say openly to both of them that I love them. They were satisfied,” he added.
The advantage of marrying both at the same time was that they would not get “jealous” later, and would know from the beginning that they were in a polygamous marriage, Mr Mohamed said.
He had taken two wives because he wanted “many children”.
“I will encourage other men to do it if they can afford it,” Mr Mohamed said.
Polygamy is allowed in Somali culture, but it is unusual to marry two women at the same time, BBC Somali’s Mohamed Mohamed says.
It has happened a few times in the last few years, suggesting that a new trend may be starting, he adds.
Mr Mohamed married the two women, Iqra and Nimo, in Sinai village in the breakaway state of Somaliland on 22 June, the private Somaliland Informer news site reported soon after their wedding.

Meanwhile, Super Eagles hero, Ahmed Musa is still basking in confidence to score again for Nigeria ahead of tonight’s crunch clash against Argentina at the ongoing World Cup in Russia.
He has assured he’d score against Argentina and is optimistic they’d win the match.
Former BBNaija 2017 housemate, Uriel Oputa is now the brand ambassador to the Chinese clothing company, Unaku Upenda Fashion.
According to her, they traveled all the way from China to meet her in Lagos for the signing.
Read her post below:
“Unaku Upenda Fashion Ambassador. UU Oputa ( im wearing Unaku) They travelled all the way from China to meet little old me..

Super Eagles hero, Ahmed Musa is basking in confidence to score again for Nigeria ahead of tonight’s crunch clash against Argentina at the ongoing World Cup in Russia.
Super Eagles star, Ahmed Musa became ‘Lionel Musa’ on social media in Argentina last Friday after his two goals against Iceland which not only put Nigerians back on course for a last 16 place, but also restored the World Cup hopes of the South Americans, Reuters reports.
Musa has warned his new-found hero status in Argentina is likely to end abruptly on Tuesday night when the two countries meet in a decisive Group D game in St. Petersburg.
“Whenever I play against Argentina, or whenever (Lionel) Messi is playing against me, I score.
“Four years ago, in Brazil when Messi was playing against me, I scored two goals,” said Musa, referring to the 3-2 win for Argentina over Nigeria in a group game in Porto Alegre where Messi also netted twice.
“When I transferred to Leicester City and we played against Barcelona and Messi was in the pitch too, I scored another two goals, so I think in the next game anything can happen. Possibly, I’m going to score another two goals.”
Musa’s brace for Leicester came in a pre-season friendly in Stockholm shortly after he had signed for the then English champions from CSKA Moscow in 2016.
The 25-year-old is now the first Nigerian to score at different World Cups and with four goals the country’s all-time record scorer in the finals.
“I’m very good at breaking records and I’m happy now to be the top scorer at the World Cup for Nigeria. It’s not easy but I have to thank my coach for his support because if he didn’t believe in me he wouldn’t put me in the pitch.”
Musa was restored to the line-up after Nigeria’s opening Group D loss to Croatia and repaid the faith with two fine individual strikes.
It ensured Nigeria, with three points, went second in Group D, behind Croatia who have already qualified after successive victories, but ahead of Argentina and Iceland, both on one.
Nigeria’s success also ensured a renewed window of opportunity for Argentina, who were hammered 3-0 by Croatia in Nizhny Novgorod on Thursday, but now have a realistic chance to qualify if they beat the Africans on Tuesday.
“We know the importance of the last game, it’s do-or-die,” added Musa. “We have to win, we can’t afford to lose. By the 95th minute we will know who carries the day and, by the grace of God, we are going to work very hard.”

I know we can’t wait for the game ….. but pls Nigerians, let us use this opportunity to tell our leaders that they have failed us ? … they don’t value human beings anymore? and pls don’t be distracted, if by the grace of God Nigeria wins …. pls congratulate the players and pour out your mind and speak out at the same time …. it’s about time we let the whole world know that, as we celebrate we are also mourning ? God help us all ?
Meanwhile, Argentina fans who are in Russia to support their nation at the ongoing world cup have described Nigerian forward, Ahmed Musa as a big threat to their continuous stay at the mundial.
Some of the Argentines in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Moscow, the Russia capital, said the Super Eagles were in better state of mind going into the match.
To Santiago Lautaro, the Super Eagles are more of a team than the Argentines.
“We only have only individual talents but not a team.
“Ahmed Musa is as dangerous as Lionel Messi but you know he has done better than the Barcelona star in Russia 2018,” Lautaro said.
Matias Franco told NAN that Musa had good statistics against his country but wished the CSKA Moskva player would not have a good day when the Super Eagles filed out against them.
“Our performance has not been good in this competition but it is not over yet.
“I hope we can have a better performance against Nigeria on Tuesday because it will be sad to leave the World Cup now.
“Our defenders must be weary of Musa’s threat, he is a good player and you remember he scored two goals against us the last time we met,” Franco said.
Augustin Nicolas, believes that his country will beat Nigeria in the last group game on Tuesday in St. Petersburg because they are the better side.
Nicolas boasted that the Argentines would get themselves better in the game against Nigeria even though he admitted that the Super Eagles are a better side.
Bishop David Oyedepo has reacted to the killing of over 86 people in Plateau state where about 11 villages where attacked by Fulani herdsmen.
He placed a heavy curse on those behind the attacks while speaking during the Covenant Hours of Prayer.
He was quoted as saying:
“One of the leaders in Plateau State spoke yesterday that since the crisis started, 52 villages were now desolate.
“For everyone behind this crisis, may they and their generations be destroyed. May their generations perish. May they never be remembered.
“Anyone who has made people’s land and families desolate, we declare them desolate today.
“Let the arrow of God locate them. Let it locate their sponsors. Let it locate all the perpetrators. Let it locate anyone backing them in government from today.”

A woman identified as Mrs. Grace Williams shared her testimony yesterday, at Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel) branch in Jimeta, Adamawa State.
Read the testimony as shared on the official Facebook page of LFC Yola:
Dead Baby Bounced Back to Life My daughter returned from school on Thursday 21st June, 2018 safe and sound with no traces of ailment whatsoever. After taking her lunch she decided to sleep, but after long hours of sleep I went to check on her and discovered that she was lifeless.
I quickly raised alarm but all efforts were to no avail. Her body became stiff and cold. All hope was lost. I quickly rushed the baby to the church amidst crying and wailing with the slogan “Operation 615 is blessing and not sorrow”.
The Pastor collected the baby from me and laid her on the altar praying. While the prayer was going on the Resident Pastor kept saying “Jesus the God of my father Bishop Oyedepo do it again”. Miraculously, I suddenly saw my baby moving her body and crying.”
I have come to return all the glory to the God of my father Bishop Oyedepo.
Nigerian celebrities have come out to condemn the attacks in Plateau state which left about 86 people killed and several others injured.
The Plateau State Police Command had earlier confirmed the killing of 86 persons in the attacks on Razat, Ruku, Nyarr, Kura and Gana-Ropp villages of Gashish District in Barkin Ladi Local Government.
This followed claims by the Chairman, North Central zone of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) Danladi Ciroma, that the killing of the 86 persons was in retaliation to the killing of over 300 cows in the last few weeks by the villagers.
However, reacting on social media, some of the celebrities said the inability of the security agents to stop the incessant killings in different parts of Nigeria could be a deliberate act for political reasons.
Here are some comments:
@official2baba, “For how long shall this continue? This has become more than an emergency situation. I weep, I weak, I tire. Knowing that the solution is very simple but politics will not allow. How heartless?”
@Ramsey Nouah, ”This is sad and honestly becoming unbearable. How long shall we continue?. It’s beginning to look like a deliberate act by our security to neglect this issue for political reasons. Human sacrifices for political goals???.. What has the world become???..the height of dehumanization. This is heart wrenching.”
@Adesua Etomi, lamenting about the value for cows rather than human lives took to her Instagram, saying “When Cattle have more value than human lives. How did we get here?”
“Dear Nigerian Government, we don’t want any more condolence messages. Do something, lives are still being lost. When you’ve done something, release a statement to let us know what you have done and how you were successful.
“Saying people should boycott cow meat will not solve anything. The problem is bigger than cows.”
@TiwaSavage, “My God! What is really happening to Nigeria? Pray for Plateau. No more killings. We just want peace.”
@Frank Donga “Too much blood, too much pain, too much poverty. God please heal Nigeria with your love. Fix us by your power.
“We cannot sit down and expect things to change, we need reforms in politics, judiciary, police and military.
”This country needs help, God has given us all we need already, let’s stop sleeping.”
@Frank Edwards, “It is well with Plateau state and its people. Let there be peace again in Jesus name, the type money cannot buy.”
@TimiDakolo wrote, ”If our government will not help to stop these senseless killing, I think as citizens we should begin to plead with countries to come to our aid. And just because it is happening Plateau, Borno, or Adamawa State doesn’t mean we are safe.
”We do not feel safe at all. Let’s tag foreign government and agency to come to our aid. We really need help.”

Former BBNaija housemate Vandora sure has some moves!!! and may just be giving fellow ex-housemate, Alex a good run for her money as the best dancer from the reality game show.
Vandora has shown that she can be very energetic as she showed off her dancing skills at a club.
Many would say she is not the dancing type, as we already know that dancing is a typical description of Alex and her vibes.
The video really showed that she was having a good time dancing to Small Doctor’s ‘Penalty’.
Motunrayo Anikulapo-Kuti, one of the daughters of the late Afro singer, Fela has taken to her Instagram page to narrate a bitter experience she had at an accident scene, where people just stood and watched the victims while they writhed in pain.
According to her, she had to scold the men around the scene before volunteering to take the victims to the hospital in her car. Unfortunately one of the men died on the way to the hospital.
She wrote:
Tonight I witnessed how incompetent even men that claims to be men are. I was driving to my destination in agidingbi when I noticed these marwa keke poeple parked recklessly blocking both ways of traffic that I had to squeeze my car through only to come down and see 2 men helpless on the floor.

“I can not believe that this man is a pastor and now the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Prof Osinbajo @profosinbajo , you can not serve God and Man at the same time. If the root cause of these senseless killings are not addressed it will keep repeating itself. It’s been blood bathe since this your regime because we are no longer in a democratic nation so I won’t call it administration. Resettlement and rehabilitation of these farmers is not going to stop these hoodlums from invading again. What happened to using the full force of the Nigerian arm forces to fight against these killers. If the non violent protesters of the Biafra agitators are met with killings and beatings by the Nigerian Army and armed forces ordered by your regime, what happened to using that same forces in tackling this menace ravaging our nation. It is time you begin to speak truth to power. Enough is a Enough. Extending your condolences will not change anything. Protect Nigerians with your military and save them from these herdsmen killing them. You pastors in Nigeria have bastardized religion in Nigeria that even the people have become docile to fake miracles and prayers. Fellow Nigerians, go and get your PVC, fasting and prayer points will not count. Only your votes will count. God will not do for man what he has given Man the ability to do for himself. Your vote is your power. They’ve used Cambridge Analytical to sow religious tensions and hate amongst us, so that their divide and conquer strategy will work. Don’t allow it this time around.

President Muhammmadu Buhari on Monday appealed to the integrity of his ministers who, according to him, are in charge.
At the Presidential Villa in Abuja while hosting a delegation of the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria, the President said:
“You cannot accuse me of stealing,” he added, “I have appointed ministers and they are in charge. I appeal to their integrity. When they come here (Federal Executive Council Chambers), we ensure they follow the due process. If I owned an oil well, I would have gone to jail.”
President Buhari said he had no regrets being a person of honesty and integrity.
He said: “I am satisfied with what I am. I am happy I have kept myself and people close to me from benefiting from government contracts,”
He said he did not award contracts and did not care about who got them so long as they did a good job at a cost that is justifiable to the nation.
“I have been in many places including Ministry of Petroleum. I would have gone to jail if I had taken an oil well. For integrity and honesty, I have no regrets. By this, I have contributed to my social safety. I won’t go to jail.”

The professional footballer who plays as a forward and left winger for English team, Leicester City became the heat of the moment after he pushed the super eagles team to second in their group, D.
He’s had people talking about him ever since and in light of this, we thought y’all should know a lil something about his lifestyle, peculiarly his cars.
At just 25, Ahmed Musa has already carved a niche for himself from his professional football career. And as such, some of his acquisitions include some top of the range automobiles.

A Twitter user, as Tobi Samson with the handle, @tobisampson has taken to the platform to share the precautions some Nigerians had apprised D’Banj to take over the unprotectivete state of his indoor swimming pool before the untimely death of his 1-year-old son.
Although, most of their concerns ended up in the archives of Instagram’s data, Tobi has in this moment, pointed out that the seemingly inevitable could have been prevented weeks ago when people showed just how dangerous the pool actually was for any child.
Tobi who shared comments of social media users warning Dbanj over the swimming pool’s threat to the life of his young son wrote;
“Not 1, not 2, not 3… up to 7 angels in the form of followers raised an alarm 5wks ago when they noticed the indoor pool in a video dbanj posted with his now late son. My heart is crying.”
