Salah poised to break even more of Drogba's records

Didier Drogba would be well advised to stock up on the tissues.

The former Ivory Coast striker joked that he 'wants to cry' as the unstoppable Mohamed Salah closes in on more of his records at an astonishing rate of knots.

'If he continues, he's going to destroy all my records!' said Chelsea legend Drogba in conversation with Mido on Mehwar TV in Egypt.It came after Liverpool's in-form striker Salah recently became the most prolific African player in Premier League history.

Top Premier League scorers from Africa 

108 - Mohamed Salah (Egypt)

104 - Didier Drogba (Ivory Coast)

102 - Sadio Mane (Senegal)

97 - Emmanuel Adebayor (Togo)

95 - Yakubu (Nigeria)

68 - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon), Riyad Mahrez (Algeria)

62 - Yaya Toure (Ivory Coast)

54 - Kanu (Nigeria)

52 - Efan Ekoku (Nigeria)

51 - Wilfried Zaha (Ivory Coast)

43 - Shola Ameobi (Nigeria), Demba Ba (Senegal), Frederic Kanoute (Mali)

His hat-trick in that 5-0 thrashing of rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford last month elevated Salah beyond Drogba's tally of 104 Premier League goals.

With Salah also on target in last weekend's 4-0 drubbing of Arsenal, the Egyptian star now has 108 in the competition (two for his old club Chelsea and 106 for Liverpool).

Remarkably, Salah became the first ever visiting player to score a Premier League hat-trick at Old Trafford, his treble the highlight of an astonishing scoring run of 14 goals in 10 consecutive matches in all competitions.

Salah looks likely to establish a benchmark for African players in England's top-flight that probably won't ever be beaten even if he barely scrapes into the top 30 of overall Premier League goalscorers.

And the bad news for Drogba, who netted 100 times in his first Chelsea spell and four in his second during the 2014-15 season, is that he could soon be third in this particular list.

Liverpool's Sadio Mane, from Senegal, has also zoomed up on him, reaching 102 Premier League goals after he too netted against Arsenal.

With Mane in sparkling form this season, it's only a matter of time before he moves ahead of Drogba and it could be neck and neck between him and team-mate Salah from then on.

Drogba though may not be too bothered - his tally of four Premier League titles with Chelsea is unlikely to be bettered by either Liverpool star and his legendary status is secure.

French footballer Benzema guilty in sex tape trial

 France and Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has been found guilty of conspiring to blackmail a fellow French footballer with a sex tape.A judge handed Benzema a one-year suspended jail term and ordered him to pay a €75,000 (£63,000; $84,000) fine.

Benzema was one of five people put on trial last month over the attempt to extort Frenchman Mathieu Valbuena.

The scandal has stunned the football community in France and both players lost their national team places.

The case dates back to June 2015, when the two footballers were at a French training camp.

At the camp, Benzema put pressure on Valbuena to pay off the blackmailers, whom he had conspired with to act as an intermediary, prosecutors said.

Benzema has always denied the allegations and insisted he was only trying to help Valbuena get rid of the compromising video.

Queen Zaynab, the former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi has opened up about her divorce from the monarch and how it shaped her current work.

In an interview with Vogue Arabia, she said, “To be the first queen out of Africa to end my marriage with a king — interesting to hear that that’s considered a thing. It wasn’t easy to summon the courage for such a decision. I wanted to stand for what I believed in.

“My epiphany came at a moment during my separation from the King. I talked to myself, deciding to uplift all those who are downtrodden.”

On her namesake foundation founded in 2019, which is aimed at helping women achieve financial independence, offering young girls scholarships, and helping domestic abuse victims, she said, "I want to uplift all those who are downtrodden.”

“But what I’m really excited about is what we’re going to introduce next year, which is, I think, going to dramatically increase the utility of cryptocurrencies, by enabling somebody who holds a cryptocurrency in a PayPal account to instantaneously transfer that crypto into fiat currency at a step rate. So, volatility is taken out of the equation, with no incremental fees charged for them to do that transaction from crypto into fiat

Why Bitcoin might go for $3 million in 2025

People have no idea what it will look like when large banks and countries start holding bitcoin in their treasu

Published

November 5, 2020

As the world’s flagship crypto – Bitcoin, continues to record astronomical growth, seen at unprecedented levels, some top fund managers anticipate this might just be the beginning.

Jason Williams, Co-Founder and Partner at Morgan Creek Digital, a digital asset-focused investment fund, recently spoke on why he believed it was just a matter of time, that the world’s most known crypto would hit at least the million-dollar status.“Bitcoin could hit 1–3M dollars in the next 5 years. People have no idea what it will look like when large banks and countries start holding bitcoin in their treasury.“To this, he also added that Bitcoin’s digital scarcity is a key feature in its continued growth across institutional contexts. If you’ve read any of our previous articles on Bitcoin’s value, then you know that we, at NBX, believe that digital scarcity is the crux of Bitcoin’s value, alongside its efficiency as a diversifier, among other factors.“In other words, to pin down Bitcoin’s complete value proposition is a complex undertaking, which is why it’s important to nail down aspects of it that we haven’t mentioned yet.”

What it means

A major factor helping the hedge fund’s manager bias, is that the flagship crypto is a way out into the future. It is scarce and can never be forged by the International Monetary Fund or any single government, meaning it will always be scarce in principle.

Robert Breedlove, the CEO of Parallax digitals, also spoke via Youtube on Bitcoin’s safe-haven asset properties.“Bitcoin is the first social institution in human history with laws that cannot be corrupted. There will never be more than 21 million Bitcoin, only the owner of a private key can move their Bitcoin, and (when properly kept) Bitcoin cannot be forcibly confiscated. Bitcoin is the only money maximally resistant to misappropriation in a world increasingly under siege by overreaching governments.
