Nigeria vs Cameroon: NFF could face FIFA punishment after Ighalo’s goal celebration


Nigeria could face sanctions from FIFA, following Odion Ighalo’s yellow card after his goal celebration.
Ighalo lifted his shirt to reveal a message and was instantly booked by Egyptian referee, Ghead Grisha, after scoring the first goal in the Super Eagles’ 4-0 victory over Cameroon in Uyo on Friday.
“He told me that the message on my shirt was about religion because it’s ‘thank you Jesus,” Ighalo told KweséESPN.
FIFA has outlawed the display of unsanctioned commercial, political, religious or personal slogans or statements in undershirts.
Sanctions are mainly fines.
Referee Grisha is expected to include the incident in his report for further action by FIFA.
Ighalo, who hobbled off with an ice pack, also insisted his injury was not serious.
“It was just a tight hamstring, but I am fine now,” he said.

WTH? Man tries to rape a woman in an elevator in the presence of her daughter

A man tried to rape a woman in an elevator while her child was present. In the video reportedly shot in an elevator in China, the unsuspecting woman is seen getting in with her daughter while a man followed behind. As soon as they were in the elevator and it began ascending, the man can be seen checking out the woman's butt. Then when the elevator stopped and she tried to get out, he pulled her back inside, punched a button to shut the doors, then proceeded to attack the woman. The man throws the woman to the floor and slaps her multiple times as she struggles. The elevator door opens multiple times after that but each time, he makes sure to prevent her from leaving and holds her down. The struggle continues for long until the woman finally pulls her high-heeled shoe and attacks him with it. Watch the shocking video below.
