Like A Boss!! Real Madrid Manager Zidane Equals Mourinho Incredible Away Record In Football (See Details)

Real Madrid’s 1-1 draw with Barcelona on Saturday, means their manager Zinedine Zidane, has gone 17 matches unbeaten to the road.

This sees him equal Jose Mourinho’s record.

Luis Suarez opened scoring for the hosts, before Sergio Ramos headed in a late equalizer.

The first half, which was a drab affair, ended without goals, although Luis Enrique’s men played much better than the visitors.

Suarez eventually opened scoring in the second half, heading in Neymar’s free-kick, after Raphael Varane failed to pick him up inside the box.

Lionel Messi and Neymar had great chances to settle the tie and close the gap on their eternal rivals to three points. But it was Ramos who had the final word, heading in powerfully from a free-kick.

Madrid remain six points clear of Barcelona at the top of La Liga.

Zidane’s team are yet to lose a game in the league this season.

Toke Makinwa Talks Giving Marriage A Second Chance

Fresh out releasing her book "Unbecoming", popular radio girl/ media personality, Toke Makinwa, has said she may consider getting married again.

Toke’s 18-month-old marriage to Maje Amaju Ayida hit the rocks when the 31-year-old officially divorced her husband over adultery, cruelty and irreconcilable differences.

In a chat with Encomium, the popular OAP, who recently revealed shocking experiences she had before her divorce, said she has not given up on marriage.

Asked if she could ever give marriage another shot, she said, “It was a journey, we all go through different stages, we learn from them.

“Marriage is a beautiful thing. Next time we would be talking, I might be a married woman, who knows. Life is a journey. You are allowed to grow, it is a journey of growth, and be open, do what you are supposed to do when you are supposed to do it, so that you can learn from your mistakes, become who you are supposed to be.”

On her perception about marriage, she said, “It is a beautiful institution. I am not coming from a bitter place, you would accept what happened.

“For me, it might be a marriage, for the next person, it might be a sick child. The most important thing is what you do with what you learnt from the situation.

“You are allowed to grow, it is a journey of growth, and be open, do what you are supposed to do when you are supposed to do it, so that you can learn from your mistakes, become who you are supposed to be.”

DJ Jimmy Jatt: How My Parents’ Separation Affected My Life

Most celebrities had their fair share of growing up, legendary Nigerian disc jockey, Jimmy Jatt, speaks on how the separation of his parents has affected his life from childhood.

The reknowed DJ, who has made a name for himself in the Nigerian entertainment sphere, told a popular daily that he came from a broken home, which motivated him to put his home in order so that his children would not go through some of the things he experienced.

In his words, “There are things that guide me, I am not from this generation; so family is key to me and I have to keep it together so that my kids can say they grew up in a very stable and intact family. That is very key to me because I did not have that. I come from a broken home and I know what that means. I don’t want that for my kids or anybody.

”The fact that I am from a broken home has motivated me to ensure that my family is intact because I know how life is for a young person who comes from a broken home. I guide against it by all means. It affected my growing up without a doubt even though I turned out to be a good child.

”’My parents would never tell you there was a time I caused any trouble, I was never a troublesome kid but when you look back, you would know that if your parents were together and the guidance was double without competition, things would have been better.
I know that there are certain things which my mother did which I liked but my father reversed such because he did not want my mother to have her way. For me, family has always been the essence at every stage.”
