Doyin breaks down in tears after receiving a gift from her friend, an ex-beauty queen. (SEE) – Lifestyle Nigeria
Evicted Doyinsola David, a housemate on Big Brother, broke down in tears this morning after getting a money tower from Beauty Tukura, her best friend who was eliminated from the competition.
As Doyin got ready for her media appearances today, she was surprised with a money cake. While reading the message that was attached to the gift, she started crying.
After Beauty was eliminated, she was renowned for standing up for and defending her buddy the entire time she was in the Big Brother house.
Due to the brief nature of Doyin’s connection with Beauty and the impossibility of demonstrating the kind of loyalty she had for her during that time, viewers accused her of being a hypocrite. She displayed above-average support, which led her housemates and spectators to feel the friendship was one-sided.
Beauty demonstrated to the doubters that their friendship was mutual and that she valued everything Doyin had said and done to uphold her reputation.
Iheanacho scored a consolation goal from close range for struggling Leicester in a 3-1 defeat at Man City, his seventh of the season…
The post nigeria’s Iheanacho, other African players who shone in Europe at weekend appeared first on Daily Trust.
Burkina Faso international Dango Ouattara came off the bench to score the winning goal as Bournemouth shocked Tottenham 3-2 in the Premier League at the weekend.
It was the 21-year-old forward’s first goal since joining the Cherries in January from French Ligue 1 outfit Lorient.
Ouattara became a national hero in his West African homeland last year after scoring to eliminate favoured Tunisia in an Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final.
Here are the African headline-makers in the major European leagues last weekend:
ENGLAND DANGO OUATTARA (Bournemouth)
Ouattara’s superb stoppage-time strike sealed victory for Bournemouth at Tottenham.
Having come on with just over 10 minutes left of normal time, he curled home in the 95th minute.
The south coast team are now six points clear of the relegation zone after a third win in four matches.
KELECHI IHEANACHO (Leicester City) Iheanacho scored a consolation goal from close range for struggling Leicester in a 3-1 defeat at Manchester City – his seventh of the season in all competitions.
The Nigerian international also hit a post as the visitors put Pep Guardiola’s team under pressure in the closing stages.
Said Benrahma
SAID BENRAHMA (West Ham Utd) Algerian Benrahma fired a penalty into the corner of the net to trigger a West Ham comeback that earned a 2-2 draw with leaders Arsenal.
It was a valuable point for the Hammers and the second time in eight days that the Gunners have squandered a two-goal advantage.
The draws have cut their lead over Manchester City to four points, having played one match more.
GERMANY SEBASTIEN HALLER (Borussia Dortmund) Haller scored after 26 minutes for Borussia in a 3-3 draw at Stuttgart.
The goal – his fourth since returning from testicular cancer treatment in January – came from a rocket-like strike as the Ivory Coast striker continued his return to pre-illness form.
SPAIN SELIM AMALLAH/JAWAD EL YAMIQ (Real Valladolid) Moroccan duo Amallah and El Yamiq both struck to help Valladolid earn a shock 2-1 victory over Villarreal, earning three key points in their bid to avoid relegation.
Amallah netted in the second minute after a nice interplay with Cyle Larin, improvising a nudged finish past veteran stopper Pepe Reina.
Then defender El Yamiq surged forward brilliantly before finishing well to net a superb solo goal after 34 minutes.
Inaki Williams
INAKI WILLIAMS (Athletic Bilbao) Ghana international Williams bagged a brace in Bilbao’s 2-0 Basque derby victory over Real Sociedad, continuing his recent hot streak.
The forward hooked home from close range to break the deadlock and then lashed in a superb second.
Inaki has now scored four goals in three games across all competitions, after suffering a long drought before that.
ITALY ASSAN CEESAY (Lecce) The Gambian scored his fifth Serie A goal this season to put lowly Lecce ahead in a 1-1 draw at home to bottom club Sampdoria.
Lecce are five points above the relegation zone with eight rounds remaining.

Ocean surge ravages Ayetoro community in Ondo, residents cry for help
Following the Atlantic Ocean surge which wreaked havoc on Ayetoro community in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State, residents have started evacuating from the coastal town.
A large number of people in the community were left homeless by the ocean surge, which caused chaos in the area and damaged houses worth millions of naira.
The surge also claimed more than half of the community’s land.
The Secretary of the Ayetoro Youths Congress, Emmanuel Aralu, claimed in a statement that the latest surge affected more than 200 homes and resulted in the eviction of lots of residents.
He also claimed that hundreds of homes and structures, including schools, hospitals, and commercial buildings, have been devastated.
He added that the recent disaster had left many landlords homeless while many community members had moved to nearby villages.
He said attempts to get the state and federal government’s attention on the yearly surge had been futile and that “government has abandoned the community at the mercy of ecological disasters.”
