Nigeria’s Super Eagles midfielder John Mikel Obi is set to leave Chelsea for Galatasaray. Mikel told Sabah, a daily Turkish newspaper that the Turkey football club had made an offer which  he's pleased with and he is looking forward to being in Istanbul.

He said:

'I asked Drogba for advice and he told me that Istanbul is a fantastic city, that Galatasaray is a huge club and that I have to make the move. I have played at Chelsea for a long time and it's now time for me to leave.

'I'm still only 26 and it's great to receive an offer from a club (Galatasaray) playing Champions League football and doing well in the competition.'

Talks have reached an advanced level between Chelsea and Galatasaray. Chelsea won't make the move difficult and regarding my salary there won't be a problem. All that is left is for the clubs to reach an agreement.'

*Sigh* If it's okay with you, then it's okay with us. Just ensure it's the right thing to do Mikel

Update On Military Troops Activity Against The Boko haram Sect In North Eastern Nigeria: Residents of Bornu Flee!

After the Nigerian Military troops had killed some people suspected to be members of the book haram sect, most of Nigerian dailies have reported that more than 2,000 Nigerians living in border villages in Borno State have fled because of the ongoing military operations aimed at defeating insurgents from the area since the declaration of the emergency rule.

Many of the villagers have been reported to flee to neighbouring Niger Republic. The fleeing residents did not only head to Niger, they also fleed to neighbouring states such as Kano and bauchi states.

Some reports has it that the Joint Military Task Force extricated the boko haram sect from the Sambisa Game Reserve and other camps on in Borno State.(one of the North Eastern States of Nigeria).

Come to think of it, this people have been left with no choice than to flee: A popular Nigerian saying goes thus: When two elephants fight, the ants and the grass surely suffer. They sure don’t want to be caught in the line of fire! So the only option for them as they presume is to flee!

Kim K, On High Heel With Swollen Feet (Edema), But Why Do Women Experience Edema?

 Now that's Kim K, Squeezing her feet into high heels! *Sigh* the babe no gree sha! And heels it must be!

But Why do women have swollen feet during pregnancy? The condition is called Edema.

Answer is:

During pregnancy, body fluids increase in order to nurture both mother and baby. As the body tissues accumulate and retain fluids, you may experience the swelling particularly swollen ankles and feet. Research says it’s pretty harmless and perfectly normal.

 It's also just as normal not to experience noticeable swelling (I read that 25 percent of pregnant women don't).

So that’s it! Just in case you were wondering!

Former Ryanair Air Hostess Reveals How They Were Forced To Buy Their Own £360 Uniforms and Are Forced To Take 3 months Unpaid Leave!

Ryanair’s former air hostess who was employed by Crewlink, a contractor for Ryanair, has revealed the harsh treatment she was subjected to. 

She said working conditions were 'a total nightmare'. She also described how she was forced to take three months unpaid leave a year, during winter, her contract did not allow her to take another job and she had to pay £360 for a Ryanair uniform.

This is how The Independent is reporting it:

They tend to look pretty miserable, and now perhaps we will understand why. A former member of Ryanair's cabin crew has blown the whistle on the conditions of work at Europe's largest budget airline.

Sophie Growcoot contacted her local MP to reveal that her employment contract with Crewlink, a contractor for Ryanair forced her to take three months compulsory unpaid leave a year – in the quiet winter months – during which she would be forbidden to take another job but receive no money.

Made her pay £360 for a Ryanair uniform. She had to pay another £1,800 towards a mandatory safety course.

Only paid her for the hours that she was actually "in the air". She was not paid for pre-flight briefings, turnaround time between flights, sales meetings and time on the ground due to delays and flight cancellations. The hourly flying rate was just £13.07 an hour with no contractual review for three years.

Paid her for only four days work a week. On the fifth she was expected to be on call and to turn up for work with an hour's notice. Standby days were not paid unless she was called in to work.

Dividends of Emergency Rule, Boko Haram's Camp Captured by Troops In Borno State

After President Jonathan declared the emergency rule on Thursday, reports from several media indicates that the Nigerian Troops deployed had captured three of the local government areas where insurgents had been in control in Northern Borno.

Boko haram had been in control of the following areas in Borno Marte, Magumeri, Mobbar, Gubio, Guzamala, Abadamin, Kukawa, Kaga, Nganzai and Monguno local governments.

President Goodluck Jonathan had said that all efforts to bring the violence in the area under control had failed hence the need to use force to flush insurgents out of the states, especially Borno.

Here’s how a major report culled from Punch

EARLY reports of military operations in the three North-East states under emergency rule, on Thursday, indicated that Nigerian soldiers had recaptured three of the local government areas where insurgents had been in control in northern Borno.

The names of the recaptured councils could not be confirmed out of the lot in possession of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram. The areas where the insurgents were said to have been in total control before the military operation launched on Thursday were Marte, Magumeri, Mobbar, Gubio, Guzamala, Abadamin, Kukawa, Kaga, Nganzai and Monguno.

Also, the troops reportedly invaded and took over a training camp of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, known as Sambisa on the outskirts of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, in the early hours of Thursday.

Do you Know: That The Flood Continues In Ejigbo L.C.D.A

Last Week, a post was put up about the Flood in Ejigbo L.C.D.A it's Here if you missed it. This week, Lagos has experienced more rains, and like you'd suspect, more floods.

The people who live here are lamenting about this situation as it is pathetic, cars gets broken down because of the flood, the traffic is heavy daily, because of the cars (broken down),  plus life becomes excruciating for the residents of this area.

That's not all, who would send a child to school in this flooded main road, the drainages are filled to the brim and overflowing with murky water to mention a few.

I'm speaking the minds of the residents of Ejigbo L.C.D.A in Lagos state, we pray the L.C.D.A Chairman to do something about the flood! Particularly the drainages. Many of them have been in existence for more than 2 decades with little or no maintenance.

This is an opportunity for the L.C.D.A chairman to educate his people via publications, media e.t.c about environmental care.

President Goodluck Jonathan's Quote

Thank God that our dear president has finally taken a stand. We are kinda tired of hearing that he condemns the terrorist attacks that have been ravaging the northern part of Nigeria. I guess this is a sign that God has answered our prayers, as we expect more ACTION from the ASO Rock! 

Here's a quote from his speech/declaration of state of emergency in Bornu, Yobe and Adamawa!

“I want to reassure you all that those who are directly or indirectly encouraging any form of rebellion against the Nigerian state, and their collaborators; those insurgents and terrorists who take delight in killing our security operatives, whoever they may be, wherever they may go, we will hunt them down, we will fish them out, and we will bring them to justice. No matter what it takes, we will win this war against terror.” - GEJ
