CHELSEA, EUROPA CUP...Are they the BEST?

 

 


 

Football, and most especially Chelsea of England's club supporters went into a frezy last night after they won the Europa cup. Chanting, Singing, Dancing and all the associated gyrations involved in celebrations were all employed by these die hard fans as they celebrated. Pubs, drinking joints were filled to the brim as some "declared" drinks for others...many goats no doubt lost their lives as well, as goat meat pepper filled almost every available soup bowl.

The questions now however on everyone's mind becomes; 
  1. is Chelsea the best?
  2. Can they defeat the Germans?
Please throw in your comments...as some of us remain die hard Arsenal Fans. *tongue out*

"I know why actors are dying in Nollywood" - Prophet Chris Okafor

Prophet Chris
Prophet Chris Okafor is the General Overseer of Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministry. Below is what he told an Encomium magazine reporter about the recent deaths in Nollywood

"This year I gave a prophecy concerning the entertainment industry that there is going to be series of death, and they never asked me for a solution. One problem is that they like to go to churches where they do paparazzi and the rest. They don't want to come to the truth and that is why they are dying this way. If they come to me, I will tell them the mystery why people are dying in Nollywood just like I've been able to tell Nigerians why electricity can't be stable in Nigeria. I know why they are dying. Let them come to me"
