Iwobi fires Super Eagles to World Cup

By -
Alex Iwobi’s second half goal guaranteed Nigeria’s place at the 2018 World Cup, the Arsenal forward earning a 1-0 home win against Zambia on Saturday.



The three-time Afrian champions defeated the Chipolopolo 2-1 away earlier in the group and they appeared set to do so again with few problems, Mweene making relatively straightforward saves from Moses Simon, Wilfried Ndidi and the lively Victor Moses.
Towards the end of the first half, Zambia’s glorious opportunity went begging with Alex Ng’onga at fault as he failed to convert with goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa to beat, firing wide from close range.

Alex Iwobi came on as a substitute and broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute with a calm finish from close range converting Abdulahi Shehu's low pass.

It is in those moments when you hunger for the answers that you become someone else, a monster, a human being, or simply a skeptic perhaps worst of all, dead. This is what Inala Felix's July 12 th : The Movie directed by Onome Egba stages in the mind of the viewers but you can never be too sure because in the game of love and mental health, there is not a single stable story as every thought in you asks: what do you believe? Starring Chinonso Ukah as Jumoke and Tony as Doctor Oche, July 12th brings to life the imaginative coherence in the sc...

According to the  Express , by George Simpson AVENGERS INFINITY WAR saw Captain America killed by Thanos, but was brought back with the Time Stone, claims an amazing new theory in the wake of Avengers 4. In the climax of Marvel’s Avengers Infinity War, Thanos arrived in Wakanda ready to pluck the Mind Stone from Vision’s head. During his walk towards him, the Avengers tried to stop Thanos, but he swatted them aside with ease.

Thanos ended his short battle with Cap with a punch to the back of the head. “Many wondered how Cap recovered in mere seconds from a punch that even took out the Hulk and the most logical explanation is that he didn’t. “As Thanos used the time s...

Rafael Nadal will finish 2017 as year-end number one in the Emirates ATP Rankings after beating Hyeon Chung 7-5, 6-3 on Wednesday in the second round of the Rolex Paris Masters. The 31-year-old Nadal will be the oldest year-end number one and first season-ending number one over the age of 30 since the Emirates ATP Rankings were established in 1973.
