Uche Okafor Former Super Eagles Player Found Dead In America.

Former Nigeria international, Uche Okafor, was found dead at his Dallas, Texas home in the United States of America (USA) early Thursday.

Ben Iroha, a former Nigerian team-mate of Uche between 1990 and 1994, told SuperSport.com that he received the shock news via a telephone conversation from the United States that the 43-year-old has died.

"Seriously I still find it hard to believe when I got the call from the US yesterday (Thursday) evening. This is a really sad way to begin the year," said Iroha.

Iroha added that he is yet to know what really transpired up to the death of his former teammate. "I am yet to know what happened. But I feel so sad to hear this because he was a very marvelous friend and brother," said the former Heartland assistant coach.

However, there are still no details concerning surrounding the death of the former winner of the Africa Cup of Nations. The former Nigerian footballer was said to have taken his daughter to school early Thursday and was later found dead in his US home.

The police in the United States are said to have cordoned off the home of Okafor, as a coroner is carrying out an inquest into circumstance surrounding his death.

Okafor's professional career began at defunct ACB of Lagos before he moved to KRC Mechelen.

The late Nigerian player has also played for Hannover 96 before ending his career at Sporting Kansas City, formerly known as Kansas City Wizards.

Late Okafor also featured in one of the four matches of Nigeria's Super Eagles at the 1994 Fifa World Cup in the USA. He was also a football pundit on African football for ESPN until his death.

Tennis Stars Rafael Nadal And Roger Federer Play Match On Floating Court In The Persian Gulf .



Posted by Picasa
When tennis legends Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer face each other, the last thing you want is for rain to stop play. But in their latest clash, a flooded court was unavoidable - it took place on a floating platform on a lagoon in Qatar. Federer of Switzerland took on his Spanish rival, the world No 1, on the specially made stage in Doha ahead of the Qatar Open, which marks the start of the tennis calendar. They have 25 Grand Slam titles between them, though 29-year-old Federer, older by five years, has won 16 - the male record. Flooded court doesn't stop play: Spain's Rafael Nadal (left) and Roger Federer of Switzerland warm up at the Westbay in Doha during an exhibition match to promote the city one day before the Qatar Open Gods of the tennis world: Nadal (left) and Federer (right) volley to each other on the specially made floating court in Qatar The Swiss star will be looking to bounce back from a string of Grand Slam defeats in 2010 while his biggest rival Nadal is hoping to resume the dominant form that saw him capture the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open titles. Spectators can expect to see much of the pair in 2011, starting with the tournament held in Doha, the Qatari capital, which begins today. Last year, Russian Nikolay Davydenko came from a set down to defeat Nadal 0-6, 7-6, 6-4. And the year before that, Great British hope Andy Murray took the crown. Floating: The two best players took each other on in an exhibition match on a submerged court A taste of the Nadal-Federer rivalry was also on display in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, when Nadal edged Federer 7-6, 7-6 to defend his title at the invitational World Tennis Championships. Before leaving for Doha, Federer said he saw Abu Dhabi and Doha as a chance to try out some new shots. He added that he was looking forward to resuming his duel with Nadal that will get its first big test at the Australian Open where the Swiss player is the defending champion.

Vivica A. Fox Engaged to Young Concert Promoter PopEater Staff

Congrats are in order for 'Independence Day' actress Vivica A. Fox, who got engaged over the holidays to her much-younger boyfriend, Omar "Slim" White.

According to a Page Six source, the 27-year-old concert promoter asked for Fox's hand in marriage on Dec. 26 with an eight-karat rock while the two were staying at the Ritz Carlton in Miami Beach. Fox, 46, showed off the huge ring at LeBron James' 26th birthday party a few days later.

Her rep has confirmed the engagement but the star has not commented.

Fox said she and Atlanta native White are hoping to have a baby in 2011.

"My career has been my baby for such a long time and I've done well by that," she said. "I waited for God to send me a good man, and he's a good Southern man."

On concerns it may be a challenge to get pregnant at 46, Fox explained, "I'm very fertile, so I don't think that I would have a problem."

This will be the second marriage for Fox, who divorced singer Christopher Harvest in 2002 after a four-year union. The actress, whose films include 'Kill Bill: Vol. 1' and 'Juwanna Mann,' also made headlines in 2003 for dating rapper 50 Cent.
Vivi has been flaunting her engagement ring since then.

Basket Mouth was on hand to compere the event. The book was preceded by a Red Carpet session in a cool breezy evening.

Mrs. Fisayo, Principal Christ the Cornerstone International School ( CTC), also rained praises on her former student, as well support the book launch. Just to make the audience feel the grips of the book, as several short verses were read by Doyin Fisayo, Odunayo Balogun and Mitchell Udeze. It was the turn of Geraldine Iheme to speak about her book, according to her it took her three years to write the book. She decided to write it, because a lot of issues are not been talked about and it is hurting in every sense. In her words “it is a fiction novel, it’s in a world that exists only in my head”, as she invites everyone to come experience that world. To her her it’s a captivating and intriguing story of unspoken truth and a definite ‘must read’. Fellow housemates from South Africa and Mozambique were present to give their own support. The night was blended with comedy by Basket Mouth and Fx and musical performances by super vocalist Bez and sensational Modele and chike. It was indeed a memorable evening, and a book launch experience that has never been experienced before.

Gbagbo Refuced To Take Obama's Call.

The incumbent president of Ivory Coast is hardening his resistance to international pressure to stand down, even refusing to take a phone call from Barack Obama.

Laurent Gbagbo, who is widely viewed as having lost a recent election, is refusing to leave office despite attempts to persuade him from West African leaders and others in the broader international community.

Lanny J Davis, a lawyer who used to work for Bill Clinton, has resigned from his job advising Mr Gbagbo, claiming that the president had stopped taking his calls, and refused one from the US president..

Oprah Winfrey Finally Launched Her New TV Cable Network.

Oprah Winfrey finally launched her new TV cable network this Saturday and it's only a matter of time before its popularity with viewers is gauged.

The network, called OWN aims to capitalise on Winfrey's phenomenal fan base as a presenter.

"Happy New Year everybody and welcome to OWN. This is a very exciting day for me kicking off the next chapter of my life with all of you. Yes, the Oprah Winfrey Network is finally on the air," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.

Her very first programs to be aired on the channel are "Finding Sarah", hosted by Ms Ferguson, and "Why Not?" with Grammy-award winning Canadian diva Shania Twain.

But will the show strike a chord with viewers?

"Oprah has a very powerful brand name, but it's really difficult to get people to change their viewing habits and find a new channel," said Derek Baine, an analyst for industry consultant SNL Kagan.

"Plus, the fact that she'll still be on her syndicated show will probably be confusing to some people."

Winfrey admitted in a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal that it may take time to translate the success of a show she'd done 140 times a year into a network which airs 24 hours a day.

"If you're on the outside looking in, of course it looks like a big risk. But for me, it's not so much about going wider. It's about going deeper, so that you have a platform that has a deeper impact," she said.

The chat show queen added that for the first time she had given cameras full access to the "very private world of Oprah Winfrey".

Denrele Is Adamant About His Scandals.

Last year he was in the papers , BB ,internet blogs etc for a controversial photo shoot with Charly Boy,he seems to be adamant about the whole story.hear him in a recent interview with Vanguard.


"I feel on top of the world, trust me. I'm used to people pointing at me. I just shut my mind to negative criticisms. I was thinking of how I could make positivity out of the situation, but I just didn't see it .I couldn't find a way to switch it around .Truth be told ,Charly Boy is a well defined brand but I was at the centre of it all. It was me people kept buzzing about it."


But I love Denrele because he's got talent and poise.
Yes and if you think Denrele doesn't have a girlfriend ,he does her name is Tilewa,so he's not a FAG ok.Leave him alone.
