Why Cristiano Ronaldo is hated by many and loved by more

Image
By Michael Hlophe, in South Africa Special to USAfrica multimedia networks (Houston) and USAfricaonline.com @USAfricaLive Hated by many, loved by more, but respected by all. This is normally the case for all the individuals that perform at the highest level. I have always felt that CR7 has had to prove himself more than most athletes. He is on fire as an exceptional athlete, but gets burnt by haters more often than not. Any individuals that feel that he deserves no respect should google his accolades and use YouTube as a reference of his abilities. Football lovers are aware that Ronaldo is a goal scoring machine and the most influential player for Portugal and Real Madrid. The same could be said about him in his time as a Manchester Uniteed footballer. He has won everything there is to win (except for a FIFA World Cup gold medal) at club and national level. He is labeled selfish when he outscores his counterparts such as Lionel Messi. When the likes of Luis Suarez outscor...

Here are 7 foods you've probably been storing wrong your entire life:

Image
1. Storing yours eggs in their original carton on a shelf in the fridge keeps them fresh at least 3-4 weeks past the sell-by date. TIP: don't store your eggs on the door – this makes them more susceptible to temperature changes. 2. Store milk in the very back of the fridge where it's the coolest. 3. Always put your leftovers in the fridge within 2 hours after cooking it. Use a wide and shallow container and don't keep the leftovers for more than five days. 4. Store apples in plastic bags in the fridge. If you're storing apple slices, squeeze some lemon juice on them to prevent them from turning brown. 5. Do not wash your mushrooms before storing them. Place them in a paper bag in the fridge and keep them dry. 6. Keep your grapes in the bag you bought them in and wrap them with paper towel. This will absorb any moisture which could cause mold to grow. Don't wash them until you eat them. 7. Separate your bananas and wrap each ...

Over The Counter (OTC) Drugs The New Craze Among Youths - Mr. Otunba Ipinmisho, Former DG NDLEA

Image
When we watch foreign movies and television shows and see young people abroad using hard drugs like cocaine and heroin, we can’t help but be grateful that our children are not gone that way. Despite being labeled as one of the top drug peddlers across the world, Nigeria remains one of the lowest when it comes to cocaine and heroin usage. The common argument is that these drugs are too expensive and far away from our youths’ reach. Also, we believe that our strict moral and religious teachings have kept our youths safe from drugs and only a few ‘wayward’ kids and transport operators are into the habit. This, according to new reports, is a wrong notion. We are quick to equate hard drugs with cocaine and heroin. Meanwhile, your child may be high on hard drugs right now without you knowing it, yet they appear not to have ever touched any of those drugs. The former Director General, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Mr. Otunba Ipinmisho, pointed out that “40 per cent of our y...
