Messi battling with kidney malfunction, may undergo surgery

lionel-messi-baby

Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi is likely to undergo a minor kidney operation on Tuesday, according to reports in the Spanish media.

Messi, 28, missed the Club World Cup semifinal in December due to renal colic, a type of abdominal pain commonly caused by kidney stones, and will undergo further tests to be certain of the severity of ailment.

The five-time ballon d’Or winner featured for 90 minutes in Barca’s 2-0 win at Levante on Sunday, but was reportedly excused from training with the team on Monday and is a doubt for the club’s Copa del Rey semifinal second leg against Valencia on Wednesday.

Spanish daily Sport writes: “FC Barcelona striker Lionel Messi will undergo several tests on Monday and Tuesday to assess the evolution of the kidney problems he suffered last December. Messi will return to his normal duties with the first team on Wednesday.”

The defending Copa del Rey champions take a commanding 7-0 lead to the Mestella with Messi grabbing a hat-trick and Luis Suarez four in the Camp Nou rout.

Barcelona released a statement Monday explaining that Messi’s absence is due to “several tests” regarding his kidneys, but stopped short of saying he was having surgery:

“Leo Messi will be submitted for different tests on Monday and Tuesday to assess the development of the kidney problems suffered in December.

“On Wednesday the player will return to training with the first team.”


Messi
has missed just one game for Luis Enrique’s men this year, as Barca have won 10 and drawn just one in all competitions.

Buhari is Not Sick, He Only Went To Rest – Femi Adesina

1AA (1)

Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, says contrary to opinion held by some people, Buhari’s five day vacation is for him to rest and that he is not sick.

Adesina who was a guest on Channels TV yesterday night, said Buhari had worked for eight straight months since he assumed office and needs rest

“Any man can fall sick, old or young, but the president is not sick, the president is well. The president has worked for more than eight months non-stop, and he felt it was time to take a respite and he asked for six days leave and he did it the proper way. He communicated it to the national assembly, handed over power to his deputy and nothing is wrong with that.”he said

He denied claims that Buhari’s vacation appeared sudden.

“Do you go on vacation because you are sick? You need respite from time to time and when you think it is time for respite, you take it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with his state of health. “Nigerians have been lied to for so long that they are now finding it difficult to believe the truth and that is the problem. You have told the truth yet they did not believe it because they have a carry-over of those who have lied to them for many decades but this government will not lie; it will tell the truth.”‎he said

See Their Outfits? Beyoncé’s Super Bowl Show Was a Subtle Tribute to Michael Jackson

uyoiuoo

The Super Bowl 50 halftime show was homage to great performances of the past and Beyoncé paid tribute to Michael Jackson in a moment that was far too easy to miss.

It was right in front of our faces the whole time. Her outfit was almost a dead ringer for Jackson’s from Super Bowl XXVII.anigif_enhanced-15591-1454896207-3

The black and gold was complete with the gold bands across her chest and shoes that were almost identical to Jackson’s.

Who else noticed where the inspiration for Beyoncé’s outfit may have come from?

BaseOne-Werey-Re-O-Remix

2016 is BASE ONE’s year and these are not just empty words, as the ‘Headies 2015 Rookie Of The Year’ nominee follows up the release of his singles WEREY RE RMX and SKON SKON, with the visuals for Werey Re RMX, which features hiphop heavyweights PHYNO & OLAMIDE.

The video was put together by the same team that brought us QUE PELLER’s ELENIYAN video, with ace filmmaker FRIZZLE directing and dance maestro KAFFY co-directing. The featured artistes PHYNO & OLAMIDE came through and put in a lot of energy and support.

A strong contender for ‘Video Of The Year’, the video is creatively crafted with many tasking scenes coming together to form the body of work. From having Base One hanging from the ceiling to get an upside-down shot, to building amazing sets for other scenes.

AQUILA RECORDS LYRICAL MACHINE-GUN, as BASE ONE is fondly called, has most definitely come of age after investing years into developing himself as an entertainer before getting signed, and this video is set to cement his stance as a serious contender for ‘Artiste Of The Year’ anywhere.

“But on hearing the sad news last week, the man who was the immediate senior brother of Lowo’s dad could not bear the shock. He developed complications and later died of high blood pressure in the early hours of Monday,” the source explained.

How Nigerian Pastor Brought a Dead Baby Back To Life (Photos)

On Sunday, February 7, 2016, a dead child was allegedly raised back to life at the Mountain Miracle and Liberation Ministries, a.k.a Liberation City.

The occurrence which was like a scene from a Nollywood movie left everyone in the church stunned.

The 6-month old child said to have been ill for weeks was brought to the church by her parents for prayers. Unfortunately, the child gave up the ghost as soon as they arrived the church.

Her frantic parents eventually wept and pushed their way through to the podium where the man of God, Dr. Chris Okafor, ministered to other people, and he immediately took the child from them and prayed fervently.

Then he dropped the child on the altar and commanded her spirit to come back and the child moved!

The congregation exploded in tumultuous praise as the child continued to move and even later drank some water!

Hannah Yarker, 20, gave birth to twin girls who have different skin tones. One of the girl’s inherited her mum’s fair complexion, while the other took after her dad who is mixed race.

Hannah says her black and white daughters now turn heads whenever she takes them out.

She constantly has to explain that the 10 month old girls are hers and that they are in fact twins as it is a rare occurrence, said to have a million to one chance of happening.

twin-01

She spoke on the attention they got and how happy she is to have one of each, she said:

“Kyle is mixed-race and I’m white, so from the word go, our friends joked: ‘What would you do if one came out dark and the other was fair?’ Laughing it off, I replied ‘I don’t think it’s very likely!’ Now our girls turn heads wherever they go and it is not just because they are so cute”,

“I can’t walk down the aisle at the supermarket without getting stopped. People always comment, ‘Are they both yours?’, ‘are they sisters’, ‘are they related? As well as looking different Anaya and Myla are already developing their own personalities”. Myla is always on the move, she’s already crawling, although backwards, while Anaya’s more laid back”,

“We can’t believe they’re twins, they’ve got the same birthday and the same mum and dad but they’re just complete opposites in every way.”

She added:

“At first, both the girls had a purple tone to their skin, but they looked darker so I assumed they’d both taken after Kyle. But after two weeks, it was clear Myla takes after her dad with dark skin, brown eyes and brunette locks, while Anaya is more of a mummy’s girl with a pale complexion, fair hair and light eyes. We couldn’t believe it. Kyle and I told all of our relatives and friends, ‘We’ve got one of each.
