NEST OF CHAMPIONS!!!

NEST OF CHAMPIONS!!!

The beautiful City of Uyo is the perfect setting for the opening of a new chapter in the history of sports in Nigeria. Come November 7, 2014, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, His Excellency Godswill Akpabio, will lead the government and people of Akwa Ibom state in opening the Akwa Ibom International Stadium nicknamed the Nest of Champions.

The truly amazing sporting edifice is an Olympic Sized stadium. It is a 30,000 capacity ultra modern complex that is already regarded as the best in the West African region and compared with South Africa's Soccer city, the major difference being the sun city stadium has higher capacity. 

Nest of champion is equipped with grass(natural), high tech solar flood lights, bullet proof VIP, 36 emergency exits and standard size training pitch and many more

Sports// Bayern Munchen// DAVID ALABA// INJURY

David Alaba reportedly sustained a ligament injury during Bayern Munich's 2-0 win over AS Roma.

According to multiple sources, David Alaba was seen leaving the Allianz Arena on crutches following Bayern Munich's 2-0 win over AS Roma. Adding fuel to the fire is Sky Germany are reporting that David Alaba has ligament damage and will be out for several weeks.

Considering Alaba left the pitch under his own power and with a slight limp that looked to be no more then a tight muscle, this is in most ways unexpected and in all ways is thoroughly unwelcome. If a correct diagnosis, this is a massive blow for Bayern Munich as David Alaba has been in incredible form lately and has morphed into one of Bayern Munich's most critical players. His absence will have to cause Pep Guardiola to rethink their whole tactical schema in the coming days.

The impending international break will give Alaba some time to recuperate without missing matches, however the phrase ligament damage is never ever something one wants to hear. That's a scary proposition and often times, no one knows the full extent of the damage until a throough medical evaluation is done. That will most likely occur tomorrow, so wait for the official club word before you start throwing things off balconies onto your neighbor's car.

Koenigsegg Concept Dials Up the Rage

When Koenigsegg delved into the supercar scene with its CC8S in 2002, the Swedish automaker heralded the design virtues of clean, efficient, and elegant styling – resulting in a car with simple lines and a terrifying turn of speed.

Over the years, those lines have subtly evolved, shifted, and reformed to become today’s barnstorming Agera hypercar. But what of an all-new design language for a Koenigsegg of the future? Graphic artist Maher Thebian has the answer.

Thebian calls his creation the Koenigsegg ‘RAGE’ Concept, and just after giving it a quick once over, it still looks identifiably like a Koenigsegg. At the front, the RAGE nose and spoiler resemble an evolution of the current Agera. Follow those lines back, and the rakishly sloped windshield and louvered roof look like a clean snip from the CCXR. And at the back, Maher keeps the breed consistent with a center-routed single exhaust.

Thebian hasn’t however noted his prospective engine of choice, but if the RAGE’s powerplant continues on track with its Koenigsegg design language…you can bet there’s a big supercharged V8 somewhere underneath those haunches.

Sure, it’s just a concept. It probably won’t get built. But crucially it doesn’t try to adopt the shapes of today’s Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari hypercar royalty. It isn’t a drastic tangent in supercar design, but it remains an outright shape we haven’t seen before and one we’d like to see in reality very soon.

Notorious B.I.G's Son Graduates from High School

Entertainment By Florence Adu-Yeboah June 3, 2014 13:02

The son of the late rapper Notorious B.I.G has
graduated two weeks short of what would have
been the hip-hop icon's 42nd birthday.
Christopher Wallace Jr honoured his father's
legacy when he walked across the stage to
accept his high school diploma from Santa
Margarita Catholic High School.
The 17-year-old, who is the 2nd child of R&B
Star Faith Evans and bares a striking
resemblance to his late father, smiled his way
through the Graduation Ceremony as family
and friends looked on.
Evans married the late hip-hop star Biggie in
August 1994. The couple welcomed their son
in October 1996. At the time, Biggie and Evans
already had daughters Tyanna and Chyna from
previous relationships.

A beaming Evans posted a photo of the proud
moment on her instagram page with the
caption "My first born son & #proud"

At the time of his father's death Wallace Jr.,
was just one year old. The celebrity tot, who is
now all grown up and goes by the initials CJ,
is already creating music of his own and has a
growing following on social media sites.
The Notorious B.I.G was killed in a drive-by
shooting in Los Angeles in March
1997. Wallace's murder remains unsolved but
it has been widely speculated to have been
caused by the East Coast-West Coast feud in
the hip-hop scene.
