Read Super Eagles star Ogenyi Onazi's exclusive interview with LIB

From his burst into the international scene as a 16 year old in the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup, Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi's climb to the top has known no bounds. From impressive performances with the Super Eagles at the Nations and World Cup to stellar outings with Italian top-flight club side SS Lazio, there is no stopping this Jos boy.

 

In this exclusive interview with Linda Ikeji's Blog, the star midfielder shed some light on the Super Eagles, his beautiful wife Sandra, contractual situation with Lazio and many more. Read after the cut.

 

LIB: How did you feel when you heard of Sunday Oliseh's resignation?

Onazi: I was really sad though, i said to myself not again!

LIB: Why were you sad, did you have a personal relationship with him?

Onazi: Not really, but the reason i was sad was because on several occasions when we have important qualifiers like this something always comes up. Either the coach is sacked or something happens ,then we start looking for solutions.

LIB: What was the general feeling among players when they heard of Oliseh's resignation?

Onazi: Well, everyone has their own opinion which i respect and i just listen. But the coach has his personal reasons of doing what he did and i respect his decision.

LIB:  Tell us about your family and siblings

Onazi: This is personal, i do not want to talk about my family for some reasons.

LIB: How did your family react to your decision to play football professionally?

Onazi: Well as we all know parents always want their children to become lawyers and doctors and all that. My dad never wanted to hear football but at the long run he had to agree. I started playing for the National U-17 football team in 2009 and when my uncle told him his son will be among the 21 players to represent Nigeria he was really shocked because he didn't know my whereabouts as at the time.

As God may want it, he watched me play football for the first time when we played at the World Cup (U-17) ,then he changed his ideas about how and what his children should do.

LIB: How do we prepare against the Pharaoh's of Egypt in the upcoming AFCON qualifiers?

Onazi: Well we have a short time to prepare but we are all professionals . I believe in coach Samson Siasia's ability to prepare us within the short time to confront them and win. I am very confident we will win the game. 

LIB: What was your best moment with the Super Eagles?

Onazi: When we won the Nations Cup.

LIB: Your worst moment?

Onazi: When we drew against South Africa and didn't qualify for the Nations Cup and also when i got injured at the World Cup.

LIB: Congrats on your marriage to Sandra.

Onazi: Lol Thanks. White wedding will be by June, by God's grace.

LIB: What attracted you to Sandra?

Onazi : Well she has been the one i knew i will get married to, since the first day i met her four years ago.

LIB: There have been allegations of players bribing their way into Super Eagles' teams of the past by offering cash incentives and gifts to the coach. Whats your take on this?

Onazi: Well i have never done that and if i heard before i have not seen it since i came to the Super Eagles. Before the Nations Cup, Coach Keshi watched me play and invited me on merit. Till now i have been doing all i can, doing my best for Lazio and the National team. I have no other job apart from football and i have no other passion asides football. I always make sure i give 110% in every game because i know people are passionate about the game.

LIB: With two years left of your contract with SS Lazio is your club planning on giving you a new deal?

Onazi: I have been here all my life, like 6 years. I would love to have another contract but i also want to move on and change environment, experience another football life else where.

LIB: Nigerians love you because of your work ethic when on the field of play. What makes you so passionate and energetic when playing for Nigeria?

Onazi: Well i bless God for his grace in my life to have such energy. Also whenever i play football i think of people that can't eat or will have a bad day if we play badly, so i try to do my best to make them happy  because some people will feel hurt if i play badly.

When we won the Nations Cup, the welcoming at the airport made me cry and i made up my mind to give my best whenever i play for my country.

The National Team is no man's house or village, so now that we have the opportunity to represent our country i do my best to even break records more than others who have served the country in the past.

LIB: Any last words for Nigerians?

Onazi: We love their passion for the Super Eagles and we will always do our best to put smiles on their faces as God gives us the grace to play for the country.

..and here's what Wendy Williams thinks of Kim K's nude selfie

The queen of 'tell it as it is' shared her opinion on Kim K's nude selfie on her talkshow yesterday. Wendy said (you can watch the video after the cut...)

"I think she looks great but I'm so over it. Doesn't every other girl on TV now have this exact same body? Every girl is got a big giant, smelly booty...and they buy those waist cinchers and pull their waist in and some girls wear it under their clothes to exaggerate your mess, the layers of spanx, the push up bras, the breast implants, the whole bit.

Men and their hidden sexual issues

                              

Problems in the bathroom may be related to problems in the bedroom for many men, as they get older they may develop urinary tract problems caused by an enlarged prostate, such as getting up many times during the night to urinate, may be associated with erectile dysfunction and other problems relating to sex in older men. 

The prostate is a small, muscular gland in the male reproductive system. Your prostate surrounds your urethra and produces most of the fluid in your semen. The muscular action of the prostate helps propel the fluid and semen through your penis during sexual climax. Benign prostatic hypertrophy, or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), occurs when the cells of the prostate gland begin to multiply. These additional cells cause your prostate gland to swell, which squeezes the urethra and limits the flow of urine. Obstruction may be so severe that no urine can leave the bladder at all. Indicators of sexual function are inversely related to the severity of urinary tract symptoms. As the men's urinary symptoms increase, the level of sexual function decreased which will lead to an erectile dysfunction.

Erectile Dysfunction can be defined as the inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity. Urinary tract symptoms resulting from an enlarged prostate that are most strongly associated with erectile dysfunction are:

·         A feeling of urgency

·         Getting up several times at night to urinate

·         A weak urine stream

·         Difficulty in urinating

At Mens Clinic we treat those suffering from erectile dysfunction, early ejaculation, low libido, and men’s general sexual health and we carry out tests relating to the Prostate Gland. You can call

Migrant Crisis: EU, Turkey Close In On Deal

The EU and Turkey said that they are close to reaching a deal on how to ease the migration crisis at a summit in Brussels.

European Council President, Donald Tusk on Tuesday, said that irregular migrants arriving in Greece will be returned to Turkey.

For each migrant returned, Turkey wants the EU to accept a Syrian refugee on a one-for-one basis, and offer more funding and progress on EU integration.

Mr Tusk said that leaders had made a “breakthrough”, and he was hopeful of concluding a deal next week.

He said the progress sent “a very clear message that the days of irregular migration to Europe are over”.

Talks would continue ahead of an EU meeting scheduled for March 17 and 18.

Europe is facing its biggest refugee crisis since world war two. Most migrants came via Turkey, which is already sheltering more than 2.7 million refugees from the civil war in neighbouring Syria.
