Nigerians should not be so quick to jubilate as they going to play against Argentina next week tuesday being the 26th of June,2018.Though we Nigerians are optimistic that Nigeria is going to beat Argentina,we are keeping our fingers crossed.The first half of the march was a little bit boring and Island was mounting pressure on the Nigerian post.But the second half,Nigeria showed them they are the giant of Africa.I was really impressed with our goal keeper,his doing a good job.Changing their formation for this game,did Nigeria a whole lot of good.That penalty was not necessary but God was on our side,because from different view,I believed the Island player hit our player first.Well I thank God for this victory.More photos below.

      According to the magazine '' One humid afternoon in Atlanta , Cardi B, the new princess of hip-hop, wakes up in an endless white mansion flanked by tall trees. This is her fiancé's castle – he's Offset from Migos – and there are enough six-figure cars parked outside to form a small-town parade. By the curved dark-wood door, his friends smoke blunts in tracksuits as bright as British guardsmen's jackets. Cardi, 25, and Offset, 26, are buying a new home shortly, and building a dream house too. But for now, this is the spot. Waking up late, Cardi pads around the house barefoot in a yellow cotton dress pulled tight over her swollen, nearly seven-and-a-half-months-pregnant belly. She eats a salad, manages the feat of typing on her phone with three-inch rhinestone-encrusted fake nails, and relaxes into a leather chair. Half zoning out, half watching  Avatar,  about a different princess and her race to save a far-off moon, she lets out a deep sigh. We are in the
