Joseph Yobo set to play for Nigeria at the 2014 World Cup


Joseph Yobo lost his first team in the Eagles to youngster Kenneth Omeruo at the 2013 AFCON in South Africa and even when Omeruo was sidelined by injury, he was not recalled and instead Warri Wolves defender Azubuike Egwuekwe.
 
Nigeria coach, Stephen Keshi, is planning to bring Joseph Yobo back to the team to play for Nigeria at the 2014 World Cup. The last World Cup he featured was in 2002 and 2010.
 
Keshi said "Yobo is very much alive in this team than any other player. Yobo and I spoke before the game against Ethiopia and our ambition is to make sure that he gets that 100th cap and by God’s grace he will get it.”
 
Keshi was asked if Yobo has agreed to come back and play for Nigeria and he said "We have been talking and he has said no problems  so, why not, if he is here he would have his hundredth cap and if he is in shape, why not the World Cup?”

Take Pride In Building A Home

As parents, there are some basic things we shouldn't turn deaf ears to. Even though it might be hard to be there 100%, at least some things shouldn't be ignored. Irrespective of the part of the country or the world we all live  in, this can serve as a general guide to all parents. Some people believe taking care of a child and instilling discipline in them is solely the role of a woman but honestly it's not. Togetherness in parenting I believe will bring out the best in our children

Welcome Back Guys!!! Wondering Why I haven't Been Blogging???

Hi Guys!!! It feels so good to be back here. I didn't think I was going to leave this for too long but you know, this life is full of the unknown!!! Life is full of ups and downs and we all struggle one way or the other to make ends meet. The past year has been very challenging and difficult with a lot of transitions and transformations but I'm thankful to God to be back hale and hearty.
