Now I do not watch a lot of football/Soccer, but when I watched the final FIFA U-20 game live that faithful day in 2005, one player stood out and that player was Mikel Obi. Yes Nigeria lost the game but Mikel gained fame. It was touching to see how he handled the defeat but hey the game continues.Glad to see he is doing well with Chelsea. Who is your favorite player?

I am not a therapist so I decided to go ahead share this email I received with you my dear loyal readers! Dear Naijagal, I am currently torn, you see I have a job i am not so crazy about, it pays ok but my manager is a pain. She is a micro manager to the core. She gives unreasonable deadlines. I try to explain to her but she would not listen and some times asks if I know what I am doing. Mind you I have over 8 years experience in the area I am working in, which is a complex part of technology. I have been receiving recruiter calls that would pay $15k-20k more than what I make but I wanted to go back to school to try out another industry. What should I do should I take the new opportunity and wait once more? Thanks ps I love your blog, TORN CHIC

Check out the styles from the Nigerian fashion week thanks to purefoto.com! thanks once again to purefoto.com here are threads from Nigeria's fashion week! What have I learned from blogging thus far? 1. you will always get the anonymous folks placing silly comments with made up names like Pamela Lerin 2. You laugh it off because it means someone is taking notice 3. Comments are not the determinant of how well your blog is doing 4. You determine the scope of your blog 5. You have fun with it, may I say it is a calling! Also a new picture of the guy who brings a lot of visitors to Naijagal Van vicker! photograph taken by fab nacha So having said that!
