South Africa VS Nigeria Preview: Depleted Bafana Bafana face Africa’s champions

South Africa and Nigeria resume their rivalry during the Nelson Mandela Challenge on Wednesday night.

South Africa will need to steel themselves for a tough examination against Africa Cup of Nations champions Nigeria at the Moses Mabhida Stadium on Wednesday night.

The match, to be played in honour of the ailing 95-year-old Nelson Mandela, should serve as perfect preparation for both outfits as they ready themselves for crucial World Cup qualifiers in early September.

Nigeria returns to the country where they ended a 19-year title drought earlier this year, with a strong squad and an exceptional record against hosts South Africa.

Stephen Keshi has included the likes of Chelsea star Victor Moses and Africa Cup of Nations hero Sunday Mba in the traveling party, while Emmanuel Emenike has withdrawn from the squad following his move to Turkish club Fenerbache.

Chelsea's Kenneth Omeruo will also not take part in the match, as the defender is still recovering from a shoulder injury he picked up during the Africa Cup of Nations.

John Obi Mikel, expected to lead Nigeria against Bafana Bafana, has also pulled out of the match with the team citing an infection as the reason behind his withdrawal.

Gordon Igesund’s initial Bafana Bafana squad has been weakened due to the withdrawal of six Orlando Pirates players, who have Caf Champions League commitments this weekend. Igesund will also be without Anele Ngcongca who failed to arrive for national duty on Tuesday, with club side Genk claiming the full-back has sustained an injury.


SuperSport United defender Bevan Fransman will miss out due to personal matters, while Innocent Mdledle has been replaced by AmaZulu’s Marc van Heerden after suffering a hamstring injury.

Another injury has ruled out Bennett Chenene from participating in the match, with South Africa likely to rely on their host of in-form Kaizer Chiefs players in the squad.

Gordon Igesund has called up two uncapped players, with Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Bongani Zungu and Free State Stars striker Luyolo Nomandela joining the squad of 22.

Tokelo Rantie joined Bafana Bafana on Tuesday, while hard-working midfielder Dean Furman completes the list of overseas-based players named in the squad.

DID YOU KNOW?

•     South Africa has only defeated Nigeria once in seven attempts, with the Super Eagles winning five of the matches. There has been one draw between the two sides since they first met in 1992.

•     In their first meeting in 1992, Nigeria welcomed South Africa back to international football with a 4-0 thrashing in Lagos.

•     Bafana Bafana were able to overcome a weakened Nigerian squad 2-1 in 2004, during the Nelson Mandela Challenge.

•     Since regaining the Africa Cup of Nations title, Nigeria have produced mixed results, only notching up three wins in their last nine matches.

•     South Africa has included seven players in their squad which took part in the Cosafa Cup earlier this year.

15 Useful and Helpful Tricks For Your Body

One of the complex machine in the world is nothing but Our human body. There are lot of amazing things that are yet to be learned from the human body. Not all things are know to our body, there are few cool tricks that we can teach our body. So, let’s see those cool tips…

1.) If you've got an itch in your throat, scratch your ear. When the nerves in the ear get stimulated, they create a reflex in the throat that causes a muscle spasm, which cures the itch.

2.) Having trouble hearing someone at a party or on the phone? Use your right ear it's better at picking up rapid speech. But, the left is better at picking up music tones.

3.) If you need to relieve yourself BADLY, but you're not anywhere near a bathroom, fantasize about RELATIONS. That preoccupies your brain and distracts it.

4.) Next time the doctor's going to give you an injection, COUGH as the needle is going in. The cough raises the level of pressure in your spinal canal, which limits the pain sensation as it tries to travel to your brain.


5.) Clear a stuffed nose or relieve sinus pressure by pushing your tongue against the roof of your mouth then pressing a finger between your eyebrows. Repeat that for 20 seconds it causes the vomer bone to rock, which loosens your congestion and clears you up.

6.) If you ate a big meal and you're feeling full as you go to sleep, lay on your left side. That'll keep you from suffering from acid reflux it keeps your stomach lower than your esophagus, which will helpskeep stomach acid from sliding up your throat.

7.) You can stop a toothache by rubbing ice on the back of your hand, on the webbed area between your thumb and index finger. The nerve pathways there stimulate a part of the brain that blocks pain signals from your mouth.

8.) If you get all messed up on liquor, and the room starts spinning, put your hand on something stable. The reason: Alcohol dilutes the blood in the part of your ear called the cupula, which regulates balance. Putting your hand on something stable gives your brain another reference point, which will help make the world stop spinning.

9.) Stop a nose bleed by putting some cotton on your upper gums right behind the small dent below your nose and press against it hard. Most of the bleeding comes from the cartilage wall that divides the nose, so pressing there helps get it to stop.

10.) Nervous? Slow your heart rate down by blowing on your thumb. The vagus nerve controls your heart rate, and you can calm it down by breathing.

11.) Need to breathe underwater for a while? Instead of taking a huge breath, HYPERVENTILATE before you go under, by taking a bunch of short breaths. That'll trick your brain into thinking it has more oxygen, and buy you about 10 extra seconds.

12.) You can prevent BRAIN FREEZE by pressing your tongue flat against the roof of your mouth, covering as much surface area as possible. Brain freeze happens because the nerves in the roof of your mouth get extremely cold, so your brain thinks your whole body is cold. It compensates by overheating which causes your head to hurt. By warming up the roof of your mouth, you'll chill your brain and feel better.

13.) If your hand falls asleep, rock your head from side to side. That'll wake your hand or arm up in less than a minute. Your hand falls asleep because of the nerves in your neck compressing so loosening your neck is the cure. If your foot falls asleep, that's governed by nerves lower in the body, so you need to stand up and walk around.

14.) Finally, this one's totally USELESS, but a nice trick. Have someone stick their arm out to the side, straight, palm down. Press down on his wrist with two fingers. He'll resist, and his arm will stay horizontal. Then, have him put his foot on a surface that's half an inch off the ground, like a stack of magazines, and do the trick again. Because his spine position is thrown off, his arm will fall right to his side, no matter how much he tries to resist.

15.) Got the hiccups? Press thumb and second finger over your eyebrows until the hiccups are over - usually, in a short while.

Oyindemilade and Oyinkansola (A humourous traditional love poem)

 Oyindemilade and Oyinkansola (A humourous traditional love poem)

I
In my beautiful 'dansiki'
I saw a black lady like 'amala dudu'
Shining like a diamond
Heart purer than white pap
Face tender than mushroom
Words she possess melt iron
Beads worn on her hands and neck
Dangle to the rhythm of 'ewi'
I read romantically to her ears.

II
My Oyindemilade,
I can only close my eyes and dream,
While honey coated words flow
From his lips to my heart
Oyindemilade, the world is unfair
We can only reach out and touch
The wind blows away our hope to feel
Each others pulse therein
While the alps and briny barricade
Part us like day and night.


III
The breeze of her scents
Spreads through my bamboo fence
Calling on the tree to tell me
That her touch have made the gods run mad
Admiring her yellow paw paw skin
Her blessed smiles made the village town-criers
Forget to share their messages to the land
Her gaze melts the heart of amadioha
To perfume the land in the encantation of justice.

Ugly Truth

Ugly Truth

Your face isn't appealing
My appeal you repelled
You unmasked my face
For all to see your face
I hid behind the sunset
But you found me out
When you appeared with sunrise.

Castigation I avoided by denying
But your sudden appearance
Revived the cocooned past
Faking it by falsifying
Had united me with my revilers
But you stormed in
In your beautiful ugliness
And displaced the pretty lies.

A beauty contest was held
To verify my words
Ugly truth contested with my pretty lies
But to my bewilderment
The truth emerged victorious
But She wouldn't persecute me
She moved closer in her ugliness
And embraced me Informing me that her ugliness Was nothing but an illusion
Created by an enemy-fear.
