Perhaps inhibited by the fact that he is in the home stretch of his presidency, Barack Obama has been dropping truth bombs left, right, and centre during this trip to Africa. Before even leaving his country, he made it well known he would tackle some of the most vexing issues on the continent . And he did just that when he raised the issue of gay rights in Kenya, despite knowing nobody would actually take him seriously on that score. And he raised another vexing issue when he addressed the African Union Assembly in Addis Ababa- the issue of African leaders refusing to step down. The US President pulled no punches in telling those president’s for life that is not how a system is supposed to work, even giving examples such as the Burundi crisis.

Angel Di Maria does not do calm and patient. Much of the first three years of his life were spent running around the house breaking things and, on one occasion, falling into a well. Still a toddler, he was taken to a doctor by his exasperated mother. "Sign him up for a sport" was the professional verdict and, even at such an early age, he was on his way to the top - at his own speed. This 100mph, haphazard approach to his first few years on this earth will come as no surprise to anybody that saw him play for Manchester United last season. A substitute appearance at Anfield in March serves as a microcosm: introduced 10 minutes into the second half to take advantage of Steven Gerrard's red card, Di Maria hared around the pitch like a loose dog at the local park.

Source:Goal.com The mention of Yakubu Aiyegbeni within any context in a Nigerian conversation invariably elicits a roll of the eyes and a snide comment. A lot of the time, this is not unconnected to that incident at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. In hindsight, it is immeasurably harsh that that miss from inside four yards was the interment of his international career. A few months shy of his 28th birthday, he inexplicably contrived to divert a Yusuf Ayila square-pass inches wide of the Korean goal in the 66th minute, with the scoreline at 1-2.

Obama had made it quite clear that raising the issue of equal treatment for same seks individuals would be a key part of his engagement with African leaders. As expected however, Kenya’s President was in no mood to be lectured on equal treatment for all his citizens, calling gay rights a ‘non-issue’. “If you look at the history of countries around the world, when you start treating people differently, not because of any harm they’re doing anybody but because they’re different, that’s the path whereby freedoms begin to erode and bad things happen. When a government gets in the habit of treating people differently, those habits can spread.” Obama said, during a joint press conference with the Kenyan leader, Uhuru Kenyatta.
