After the 1-4 victory over Levante at the Ciutat de Valencia on Wednesday, Barça are very close to securing their seventh Copa del Rey semi-final berth in eight years. In the Champions League the Blaugrana have qualified for the penultimate round for six consecutive years, and that holds true in the Cup as well.

No team have ever fought back from a 1-4 deficit

History is clear: no team in the history of the Copa del Rey have ever battled back from a 1-4 deficit, there are a total of 55 precedents. Barça went on to win the Cup in 2009 and 2012, they were eliminated from the competition in 2010 when they were defeated by Sevilla in the quarter-finals.

The most recent precedent, ten years ago

The most recent Cup tie between Barça and Levante was played in the 2003/04 season. Ten seasons ago, the men managed by Frank Rijkaard fought back at the Camp Nou from the first leg's 1-0 result. Iniesta, Ronaldinho and Saviola got on the scoresheet (3-1).

If Barça progress to the semi-finals, they could face Real Sociedad, who defeated Racing by 3-1 in the first leg of their Cup tie.

OGUN, FG COLLABORATE TO INCREASE FISH PRODUCTION
As part of measures to bridge the gap likely to be created by the recent ban placed on fish importation, Ogun State in collaboration with the Federal Government is set to introduce the “cage culture system” to enhance natural fish breeding.
The Cage Culture System is a practice whereby nets containing fishes would be placed directly in flowing rivers and guarded with floating materials to make the fishes grow in a controlled environment and protect them from being washed away even when the river overflows.
Inspecting the pilot cage that was presented to the Adijagun Fishermen and Fish Sellers Cooperative Union, Iwopin, Ogun Water side Local Government, Commissioner for Agriculture, Mrs. Ronke Sokefun affirmed that government would continue to take steps to enhance food production .

She said the method would take only four months for fish to reach maturity as against longer time that would be needed for other methods, pledging that more of such cage would be provided for more fish farmers.
“We believe that this will make fish farming easier because our fishes will be protected in the cage, then sorting and harvesting will also be an easy task. It will also increase production because fishes in the cage will grow faster than the ones in the river”, she said.
Speaking earlier, fish farmers coordinator in the area, Mr. Stanley Awe expressed appreciation to both Federal and State Governments for providing cage culture system, assuring that the farmers would make good use of it for the benefit of the people.
On his part, the Balogun of Iwopin town, Chief Oladipo Omoke described it as a welcome development, requesting for government’s support in renovating fish smoking shed, as the old ones were worn out.

How much do you know about this lovely guy? Sit back and read on, as you’ll get to read many details about him in this article.
Odunlade Adekola Biography
He was born on December 31st, 1977 in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. He attended the Saint John RCM primary school, and later Saint Peter’s college, both in Abeokuta. After being into acting for some years, Odunlade Adekola started acting at a very early age. According to him, whenever any anniversary was to hold in his church (the Christ Apostolic Church, Lafenwa, Abeokuta), he and a friend, named “Tunde”, would request to play jesters, and this request was always granted.
He would then write a “script” for a comedy play involving just two characters (him and his friend). That was how it all began for this professional actor, director and producer.
After being motivated by the likes of Taiwo Hassan ( ogogo), Adebayo Salami (oga bello), Lere Paimo, and other genius Yoruba actors in Nollywood, he entered the professional scene in 2005.
However, he never started becoming increasing popular until 2007. He received training and additional motivation from Isola Durojaye (Alasari), now late, who believed in his potential and assisted him in bringing out the best in him.
Odunlade Adekola Movies
Despite having not spent up to 10 years in the limelight, Odunlade Adekola has featured in almost 70 Yoruba movies.
In a recent interview, he admitted that the film Asiri gomina wa, in which he played the role of a state governor, was the most challenging assignment of his career, as criticisms and doubts flew about over his ability to play the role
successfully. However, he was able to play the role perfectly, and according to him, he believes that his role in that film opened up the door of many greater opportunities for him. Odunlade Adekola has written and produced about six
movies. These are
1. Farapamo
2. Emi nire kan
3. Baba super
4. Ila owo
5. Eje fun eje

Recently, in an interview granted by Taiwo Aromokun, a Yoruba Nollywood actress and Odunlade Adekola’s trainee, she admitted that there existed a relationship between her and the actor. However, the duo had to part ways as he was not willing to take a second wife, and of course, she had to carry on with her life. The breakup notwithstanding, the duo is still on very good terms.
To many lovers of Yoruba movie industry, the name Odunlade Adekola is like what Omotola Jalade Ekeinde or Genevieve Nnaji mean to Nollywood. No wonder he is one of
the highest paid actors in that sector of the Nigerian film industry.
Apart from being an actor, Kola, as he is well known by fans, is also a Glo ambassador.

ANGRY Woman Posts Sister’s NÙDE Photos On Facebook [PHOTOS]

Ayanda and her boyfriendA Zimbabwean woman, Ayanda Monica Simango, became infuriated after catching her younger sister having sex with her Nigerian boyfriend. 

Out of anger, the scorned woman posted nude photos of her younger sister on her Facebook wall to humiliate her. Simango posted the pictures recently with the caption, “That’s why l cal u a bi_ch.”

Many of her Facebook friends were against her decision to post the pictures while others posited that her sister is deserving of her comeuppance. The pictures have since been taken downas the family tries to deal with the crisis.

According to reports:
Ayanda is so mad and upset now that she is not entertaining communication from anyone. Unclad photos of the sister as well as the Nigerian boyfriend identified as Martin Arinze from Enugu Nigeria were posted on several popular websites.

We wonder what could have driven the younger sister to do that to her sister, but there is a myth that Nigerian men are known to lavishly pamper and spoil their ladies in stark contrast to most Zimbabwean men.

At least according to the tales that ladies tell. So perhaps this could have been the motivating factor, of course scandals like these happen everyday, but the sister’s reaction has just been epic
