KOBI SPORTS: NOT FINISHED…UNTIL MANCINI SAYS SO...




On the 19th of December 2009, As Mark Hughes waved to the Manchester City crowd after a Disjointed 4-3 win over a dour Sunderland side, it is alleged that Roberto mancini was in the then “City of Manchester Stadium” after being awakened from slumber by Khaldoon al Mubarak to Improve the fortunes of Manchester city..

His Mandate???..  1, Qualify the team for the Champions league
2, Win a Domestic trophy
3, Win the EPL
4, European domination must follow.

Enter cool Blue and white striped Scarves and model like Italian suits.. Mancini carried his own style wherever he went to..

Good thing too, because it seemed to work at first glance with four wins on the bounce after the good looking but not so grey haired Italian began to strut his stuff.
But on May 5th 2010, the first objective was not reached as Peter Crouch’s goal for Tottenham ensured that Manchester city would fail to Qualify for the UEFA champions league and would have to play Europa league football….

Texas Day Care Owner Gets 80 Years For Murdering 4 children

Jessica Tata


The woman who ran a day care in Houston that caught on fire, killing four toddlers, was sentenced to 80 years in prison yesterday.
Jessica Tata was found guilty of felony murder last week, for the one of the deaths.
Prosecutors say, back in February 2011, Tata left a pot of hot oil on the stove, while she went shopping and left the children alone. The building went up in flames, killing four children and hurting three.
After the fire, Tata fled to Nigeria, and the U.S. Marshals Service named her one of its most wanted fugitives. The service said it worked "with international investigative resources in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, to bring Tata to justice."
She was arrested in Nigeria and brought back in less than a month.
Prosecutors say Tata put her own needs before the children. Her defense attorney argued she was a caring woman who made a mistake.

As at Saturday evening, the group has collected close to 70,000 signatures. But how these efforts will persuade President Jonathan not to sign the bill into law, remains to be seen.
Nigerian lesbians: impending law prescribes jail term

The group claims to be working with partner organisations in Nigeria, such as Changing Attitude Nigeria, Improve Your Health Initiative, Initiative for Advancement of Humanity, International Centre for Advocacy on Right to Health, Sexual Minorities Against AIDS in Nigeria, the Initiative for Equal Rights, Nigerian LGBTI’s in the Diaspora against Anti-Same Sex Laws.
The anti-gay bill, was first passed by the Senate on 29 November 2011.

The Senate increased the punishment for gay marriage from the five years’ imprisonment originally proposed in the draft bill, to 14 years. The legislation must be passed by the House of Representatives and signed by President Goodluck Jonathan before it becomes law. To continue Reading Click Read More::
