Ivory Coast President Promises - I Will Give You 32 million CFA Francs If You Beat Greece

Ivory Coast president Alassane Ouattara has promised his Ivorien national team over 30 million CFA Francs if they qualify for the FIFA World Cup round of 16.

Ouattara said this yesterday and his revelation was revealed to the players by president of the National Assembly Guillaume Soro, when he visited their World Cup home in Sau Paulo.

The Ivorien players are due 16 million CFA francs ($24,400, 17,900 euros) per player if they win against Greece and with the recent incentive, that will double to 32 million CFA francs, FIF revealed on their website.

It was revealed that the new promise was to motivate the players more to go out and give their all to make the next stage of the competition.

Ivory coast are currently second with three points in group C after beating Japan 2-1 and losing to Colombia 2-1. To make the next round the ivoriens need to win, a draw will leave them at 4 points and they will hopw Japan doesn't beat Colombia in their final game.

This money might seem as a paltry sum for some of the big names in the team like Manchester City’s Yaya Toure or Galatasaray’s Didier Drogba who earn more thann that monthly but for reserve goalkeeper Sylvain Gbohouo it would be welcomed.

People who say I sell sex toys are mistaken. It's not a new thing that some people don't want another person's progress for reason best known to them.

'Do Not Eat Suya Without Onion, Cabbage' - Nutritionist Warns

A nutritionist, Prof. Ignatius Onimawo has advised regular consumers of grilled and barbecued beef and chicken popularly called  suya, to always eat the delicacy with generous portions of the slices of onions, cabbage, tomatoes and other vegetables.

Speaking during a workshop organised by Coca-Cola Nigeria for health writers in Lagos, Onimawo, who is a Professor of Nutrition and Director of Academic Planning at the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State said research has shown that while there is a strong link between consumption of suya and increased risk of cancer,  consumption of suya garnished with onions and other vegetables, has a strong cancer-lowering effect.

He said, "Breast cancer is everywhere. It is even killing people in the village. When we carried out studies to try to look at the aetiology of the disease, to find out where it all started, what we discovered was that we could trace the origin to suya consumption."

Onimawo explained that during suya preparation, the meat is cooked over an open fire, and oils from the meat undergo complex chemical reactions that produce toxins that are carcinogenic (cancer-causing) in nature and causes the formation of toxic compounds known as Heterocyclic Amines, HCAs, which are carcinogenic compounds.

He said cancer is due to  oxidative processes in the body and onions are powerful antioxidants that effectively stop the oxidative process triggerred by consumption of suya from taking place.

"The onion and other vegetables are actually added to act as antidote to the effect of the oil from the suya. Onions neutralise the oxidative effect of the chemicals in the oil and help prevent cancer.

"I’m not saying suya is bad, on the contrary, it is a great delicacy, but beneficial only when eaten in moderation and along with the onion and cabbage," he stated.

Gunmen Kill Couple, Two Others Die In Fadan- Chawai Crisis

A man and his wife, Ayuba Kure and Sarah Kure were reportedly killed by unidentified gunmen in Rikarwan village of Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State, at the weekend.

In a related development, two people were also killed during a violence that erupted at Fadan- Chawai in Kauru Local Government Area of the state, following government appointment of a new Chief for the Chawai people.

It was gathered that rampaging youths in the chiefdom destroyed properties worth millions of naira during the crisis.

Augustine Audi, the National President of Chawai Development Association (CDA) told newsmen that the governor asked the Chawai Council of King Makers to nominate and send the name of the son of the late Res Tsam for appointment.

“As a result of the appointment and announcement of the new Res Tsam by Governor Ramalan Yero, violence erupted in the chiefdom leading to the killing of two people. We do not see the need for the urgency in appointing the next Res Tsam when the customs and tradition of the Chawai people do not support the hurry.

“There are traditional rites that were to be performed before the appointment which is why unlike the Hausa or Emirate system, it takes time before a new Res Tsam is appointed.

“Moreover, there has been a distortion and mutilation of the history, culture and laws of the Chawai people by the government which published in its official gazette appointing two hitherto unknown houses as the Chawai Ruling Houses: Kingwai and Kuka instead of the originally known six ruling houses: Zambina, Maizanko, Pari, Kizakoro, Baduru and Kidundun .

“Ascension to the throne, according to Chawai history, native law and customs is not hereditary. We wish to inform the world that so long as the governor took the decision at the pendency of our action in court and so long as the court had ordered him to stay action, pending the hearing of our motion on notice which he is aware, we wish to put it on record that no Res Tsam has yet been appointed until the determination of the case in court” Audi said.

The CDA president, however, urged the youths to patiently wait for the court's decision.

When the state Police Public Relations Officer PPRO, Aminu Lawan was contacted for official confirmation, he said he was not aware of the crisis while the media aide to the governor, Ahmed Maiyaki denied the report, saying . no one was killed as everything has returned to normal.
