Ronaldo: I love Modelling and hope to become a movie star soon

Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the world’s greatest footballers of all time, says he will become a Hollywood star “sooner or later”. In an interview with Sacoor Brothers, the multi-Baloon D’or winner said he has gotten a number of invitations to star in Hollywood movies but football has made it almost impossible. “Becoming a Hollywood star? Why not? 

This is not my objective for the time being. I had some offers but my agenda is actually full,” he said. “I will not close the door, I like this field. But I do not close the door, as it’s one thing I like…” “I think being an actor is a different job, it’s a very difficult job. I think it’s a very beautiful and difficult profession. 

So, as I say, I’m sure that sooner or later I will be part of a cast in a movie, I have no doubt.” But Ronaldo added that his main aim is to build an eternal name that his sons can enjoy. “I will do small things to start, gain experience and then we’ll see. 

The future is bright. For now, my primary objective is to make Cristiano Ronaldo’s name eternal for my sons. “The players who were able to stay in the top for many years like me are really few. I feel special for being able to reach that level.”

A peep into Manchester United 2016/2017 home kit

Adidas are plotting a massive change to Manchester United’s kit for 2016-17 inspired by the first Newton Heath shirt.

Today it seems the ever reliable Footy Headlines were bang on point again as are they have posted photos of a jersey that perfectly matches those initially rumoured designs.

Like all of the other recent Adidas releases, the iconic three stripes have been moved to the side of the body, while there are two different shades of red used.

The main colour scheme of the shirt consists of a two-tone red design – harking back to the green and gold kit of the club’s infancy.

Manchester United were originally founded as Newton Heath back in 1878 and wore a striped green and gold kit. However, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902, simultaneously changing their colours at that time to the infamous red shirt that we know today.

Check out the leaked images of Manchester United’s gorgeous 2016/2017 home kit below;

Premier League vs. La Liga: Why the EPL Wins Every Time but I Can't Prove It

One thing about voicing an opinion is that you open yourself up to criticism, hatred and most certainly: controversy.

The title of this article will no doubt achieve all of the above on it's own, but for me it's not even a debate.

I'm sure I'm probably biased being an Englishman, but the Premier League offers so much more competitiveness that there is rarely a televised game that I wouldn't watch.

Real Madrid and Barcelona can offer up some of the most entertaining attacking players that have ever lived—in Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi but in terms of a competitive league, it's a two-horse race every season.

People could argue that more goals, the superstar players or the amount of Champions League appearances could all be testament to which is the better league, but for every valid point there is an equally valid rebuttal.

For example, what if more goals in a league comes down to the league having poorer defenders? Or does it mean they have better strikers?

Does Barcelona winning the Champions League mean that La Liga is a better league? Or does it mean La Liga's top team is stronger than the EPL's top team?

Any of the lower placed clubs in the Premier League can certainly go to Old Trafford, Anfield or the Etihad Stadium and have a shock result, and that is what football is all about.

I'm not sure I could say that about visiting teams to the Bernabeu and Camp Nou.

The Premier League can certainly boast a higher average attendance than La Liga based on last year's figures, but that doesn't clarify whether the league is better or not.

There will never be a proven way of concluding the answer to this quandary, and it will continue to divide opinion for years to come—much like the argument of whether Ronaldo is better than Messi.

At the end of the day, people have their own views on which league is better and you can't prove them wrong.

Just remember they can't prove they're right either

Customs intercepts container with live ammunition from US

The Tin-Can Island command of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has intercepted a 40 ft. container with 980 rounds of 9mm type live ammunition and a pistol imported into the country from the US. Chris Osunkwo, public relations officer (PRO) of the command, made the disclosure in a statement made available to reporters on Tuesday. 

According to the statement, Bashar Yusuf, area controller of the command, said the ammunition including a camouflage military face cap, camouflage belt, a pair of hand gloves and a pair of shoes were concealed along with other personal effects in two vehicles. Yusuf said the arms and ammunitions and a suspect who was arrested in connection with the seizure, had been handed over to the Department of State Security Service (DSS) for further investigation. 

“A 40 ft container with number CLHU452754/2 with these items have been seized and it is with us and we are transferring them as appropriate to the relevant agency,” the statement quoted Yusuf as saying.

“The items were concealed because nobody can just import these things without full authorisation to do that. No unauthorised passenger or trader should trade in arms and ammunition all over the world. It is not allowed. “You have to go through due process; authorisation with permit, before you move even one piece across the border of another country.

“The suspect is with the directorate of state security service for further investigation so that we will get the full details of how he came about these items as well as if there are collaborators within Nigeria or outside Nigeria. “It is within their purview to do that.” James Udo, officer-in-charge of DSS at Tin Can Island Port, explained the danger such importation could have on members of the public, if it had escaped customs’ attention. Udo said security must be a collective responsibility. He said the DSS would conduct further investigation on the importation to unravel those behind it.

Saved by charity… Foreigner saves Nigerian child abandoned after being accused of being a Wizard

Nigeria has recently been prominent in the international media for all sorts of reasons. This time around, it is not about the economy; it is about the rejection of a two-year-old boy for alleged witchcraft. New York Times, Huffington Post, Telegraph, The Independent, Mirror of London and many others are reporting the country for the decision of a Nigerian family to reject a child believed to be a witch. 

Anja Ringgren Loven, the Danish woman who saved the little boy, has been able to raise $1 million for his road to recovery. The boy, who was named Hope by Loven, was left to feed off road-side junk thrown at him by passers-by for eight months in Uyo, capital of Akwa Ibom state. Putting up a post about Hope’s rescue, Loven lamented that thousands of children in Nigeria were being accused of witchcraft in the country, leading her to sell all her belongings to care for them.

“I’ve seen much here in Nigeria over the last 3 years. I have spared you for many experiences when we’ve been on the rescue operations,” she said. “Thousands of children are being accused of being witches and we’ve both seen torture of children, dead children and frightened children. This footage shows why I fight. Why I sold everything I own. 

Hope Recuperating

“Why I’m moving out in uncharted territory. Why the new documentary is so important for dinnødhjælps work so we can shout world leaders up so we can get focused on superstition in Nigeria!” 

With Hope recuperating, Loven expressed hope that he survives, and shared pictures of his gradual recovery before seeking funds to support his medical bills. “I hope you will all see with when Anja Africa is being shown on TV. Together we can make the biggest difference.

 I have chosen to call the boy ‘Hope’, for right now, we all hope that he survives. “He is in the hospital and you guys want to support Hope with medicine and hospital bills as you daily pay for hospitalization here in Nigeria, [you] can make a contribution on dinnødhjælps mobilepay: 27 21 24 34”. She appreciated Danes, who had “donated about $1 million” for the child, saying “where there is love, there is life”. She also appreciated another child in the orphanage for keeping him with smiles.

TODAY IN HISTORY: Archaeologist opens tomb of King Tut

On this day in 1923, in Thebes, Egypt, English archaeologist Howard Carter enters the sealed burial chamber of the ancient Egyptian ruler King Tutankhamen.

Because the ancient Egyptians saw their pharaohs as gods, they carefully preserved their bodies after death, burying them in elaborate tombs containing rich treasures to accompany the rulers into the afterlife. In the 19th century, archeologists from all over the world flocked to Egypt, where they uncovered a number of these tombs. Many had long ago been broken into by robbers and stripped of their riches.

When Carter arrived in Egypt in 1891, he became convinced there was at least one undiscovered tomb–that of the little known Tutankhamen, or King Tut, who lived around 1400 B.C. and died when he was still a teenager. Backed by a rich Brit, Lord Carnarvon, Carter searched for five years without success. In early 1922, Lord Carnarvon wanted to call off the search, but Carter convinced him to hold on one more year.

In November 1922, the wait paid off, when Carter’s team found steps hidden in the debris near the entrance of another tomb. The steps led to an ancient sealed doorway bearing the name Tutankhamen. When Carter and Lord Carnarvon entered the tomb’s interior chambers on November 26, they were thrilled to find it virtually intact, with its treasures untouched after more than 3,000 years. The men began exploring the four rooms of the tomb, and on February 16, 1923, under the watchful eyes of a number of important officials, Carter opened the door to the last chamber.

Inside lay a sarcophagus with three coffins nested inside one another. The last coffin, made of solid gold, contained the mummified body of King Tut. Among the riches found in the tomb–golden shrines, jewelry, statues, a chariot, weapons, clothing–the perfectly preserved mummy was the most valuable, as it was the first one ever to be discovered. Despite rumors that a curse would befall anyone who disturbed the tomb, its treasures were carefully catalogued, removed and included in a famous traveling exhibition called the “Treasures of Tutankhamen.” The exhibition’s permanent home is the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
