“They were hosted in London, they will be hosted in Abuja” – Minister’s aide clears air on Paralympians

Ohimai Godwin Amaize, the Special Assistant to Bolaji Abdulahi, the Minister of Sports, has come on Twitter to debunk the stories, that the athletes that represented Nigeria at the Paralympics were not properly welcomed. An earlier report today, claimed that no one from the Nigeria’s Sports Commission, was on hand to welcome the glorious athletes. “Negativity sells very well in times like these. Be very careful to believe whatever is reported. I know what I’m talking about,” he wrote. “There is no iota of truth in some reports flying around that our Patalympic athletes were not received by Nigerian officials.” “The report is not only false but a careless attempt at falsehood. NSC officials were on hand to receive our Paralympians as they arrived. As a matter of fact, President Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR will host our Paralympians in Abuja this weekend. Ignore the lies flying around.” He also went on to state that the athletes were hosted to a grand reception in London by the Nigerian High Commission, shortly before they returned to Nigeria. And at the grand reception in London, the Gold medalists received $7,000; Silver medalists received $5,000 while Bronze winners received $2,000.

Robben, who missed an extra-time penalty in the Champions League final against Chelsea, with the score 1-1, was repeatedly booed by a section of the 33,000 fans who came to see a friendly match between Bayern and the Netherlands. Robben played for the Oranje throughout the game, and Van Marwijk said: “It’s scandalous the way in which Arjen was treated on Tuesday in Munich.

“Drogba is undoubtedly a Chelsea legend,” London club confirm Ivorian’s exit

After it was reported in the French media that Didier Drogba was set to leave Chelsea, his agent denied the claims. But the chief executive of the club, Ron Gourlay has confirmed the 34-year-old is indeed leaving. “Didier is undoubtedly a Chelsea legend and will always be part of the Chelsea family,” Gourlay said. “He is certainly leaving on a high after Saturday night but he feels the time is right for a new challenge. “Of course Didier has contributed so much to all of Chelsea’s recent successes. He has been a consummate professional during his entire time here and as one of the natural leaders in our squad he has been an inspiration to a lot of our younger players. “We have known for some time that this outcome was likely but Didier and the club only made a final decision on that in the last couple of days, because for obvious reasons neither Didier nor the club wanted to distract focus away from the Champions League Final. “The talks were amicable all the way through and we wish him all the best for the future. He is welcome back to Stamford Bridge at any time – either as a player or as a guest of ours.” The Ivory Coast captain scored 157 times in 341 appearances for the Blues and won 10 trophies – the last being the Champions League where he scored the winning penalty.
