Emenike still key to the Super Eagles – Agali

Image
The former Nigeria and Schalke 04 star maintains the forward still has a lot to offer the country despite his move to the United Arab Emirates Ex-international Victor Agali says Emmanuel Emenike is still reliable, insisting he should not be thrown out of the senior national team. The 28-year-old forward was shipped to United Arab Emirates’ Pro League side Al-Ain on loan until the end of the season by Fenerbahçe. With new Eagles’ handler, Sunday Oliseh hoping to rebuild the national team to a formidable force again, the striker famous for his aerial prowess noted that the ex-Spartak Moscow man still has a lot to offer the national team despite barrage of criticisms that greeted his transfer to Al Zaeem. "He has made a move which is best to him, and if he still has the interest of playing for the Super Eagles, I think he should be given a chance because he has done tremendously well for [Nigeria] in the past, Agali told Goal. “Aside from this, he is still within the age ...

Fear Will Keep You From Your Potential

Image
Fear has a way of keeping us stuck in a life of mediocrity. We were never intended to live a life of mediocrity. Got Dreams? Have you ever wanted to start a business, write a book, plant a church, travel the world or even start a non-profit? We all have dreams and desires, but the sad reality is that very few of us will actually grab the bull by the horns and go for it. For some reason we allow fear to get in the way of us embracing a life of extraordinary meaning. We allow fear to control the way we live about our daily lives. We allow fear to set the tone for the story we are currently writing for ourselves. Maybe it’s the fear of failure, the opinions of others, or even the fear of yourself. Regardless of where your fear derives from, its goal is to keep you from being brave and successfully accomplishing the goals you have set before for you. Fear Is A Liar! When I was 6 years old I was afraid of ghosts, at 16 I was afraid of not fitting in, and...

10 Healthy Dating Practices

Image
1. Date with intention. This is going to be for the best of both parties involved. Dating isn’t a game, and the last thing you want to do is get in a relationship with someone when your intentions are anything but pure. If you’re just looking for fun, I’d recommend you be open and honest about your intentions with anyone you meet or connect with. It’s only fair to them and their emotions. 2. Make sure your first date is in a public place. You just never know who you’re going to meet. I’d recommend your first date be in a public place, in front of lots of people and I’d even recommend you let your friends know where you will be in case something were to happen. You never know who the person you’ve chatted with on the phone might act in person, and the last thing you want to happen is end up in a private place with someone whose motives are anything but respectful. 3. Try to learn as much as you can before meeting them. Ahh. Yes, the beauty of social media. If they have...

Standing Out: When You Don't Fit In

Image
  We all want to be liked, cherished, and appreciated by our peers. But what if I told you that God could care less about these things? What if I told you that God didn’t care how many Facebook friends you have, or how many people follow you on Twitter? And what if I told you that God isn’t worried about how popular you are? In fact, what if i told you that the purpose of the Gospel isn’t to fit in at all, but to in fact stand out… Romans 12:2 - Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. In today’s worth-seeking world, being “liked,” and “wanted” is something we all yearn for. And whether we want to admit it or not, It’s how our culture forces us to feel, and not to mention it’s how our culture advertises us to feel. The World Says: Failure is not an option.” “If you are not first, you are last.” “If you’re not somebody, you’re nobody.” But when we begin to look into the depth of Scripture , none of tho...

How the tech industry is redesigning the future workplace

Image
First, the technology sector gave us Google's bean bags and Facebook's feted ping-pong tables. Now these companies are raising jousting skyscrapers into the Silicon Valley skyline. Facebook has just this month moved into new headquarters designed by Frank Gehry, designer of Spain's Guggenheim Museum. Its chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, describes it as the largest open-floor plan in the world. Atop it lies a nine-acre rooftop park. Google, Amazon, and Apple are also creating their own new colossal headquarters. Google, searching for more space, will move shortly into its new "Googleplex". Apple's "spaceship", a vast watchstrap fashioned like a flying saucer, has already attracted the moniker of 'death star' from the unkind. And Amazon's Seattle glass-dome biospheres, planned to open in 2016 and 2017, play none-too-subtly on its name. Each is a stab at capturing an imaginative futuristic high ground - and emplo...

Messenger closes in on Mercury crash-landing

Image
Messenger closes in on Mercury crash-landing After more than a decade in space and four years orbiting Mercury, Nasa's Messenger mission is set to reach its explosive conclusion. The spacecraft is expected to crash into the planet's surface at 20:46 BST on Thursday; its last fuel was burnt in a final manoeuvre on 24 April. After reaching Mercury in 2011, Messenger has far exceeded its primary mission plan of one year in orbit. It is only slowly losing altitude but will hit at 8,750mph (14,000km/h). That means the 513kg craft, which is only 3m across, will blast a 16m crater into an area near the planet's north pole, according to scientists' calculations. The high-speed collision, 12 times faster than sound, will obliterate the history-making craft. And it will only happen because Mercury has no thick atmosphere to burn up incoming objects; for this same reason the planet is struck by similarly-sized meteors once every month or two - and they a...
