The letter from FIFA, addressed to NFA President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari, described the Golden Eaglets as worthy winners.

“The FIFA U-17 World Cup UAE 2013 lived up to all its promises with some thrilling matches, fantastic goals, incredible emotions and unbelievable twists and turns.

“All of these combined to keep the fans on the edges of their seats on the final day in Abu Dhabi last Friday.

“In the end, the Nigeria U-17 team saw off the challenge of their Mexican counterparts to claim an unprecedented fourth world title following previous triumphs in 1985, 1993 and 2007.

“On behalf of the international football family, I would like to extend our warmest congratulations to the team.

“I also want to congratulate their coach and the entire technical, administrative and medical team, and to all your fans,” Blatter said.

The President of FIFA observed that the team’s victory was a product of hard work and professionalism.

“Victories such as these are always based on hard work, professionalism, and attention to detail, as well as passion and a love for the game.

“I have no doubt that all of these bode well for a very bright future, and wish you continued success with your work in the years to come,” Blatter concluded.

Meanwhile, FIFA has invited the Eaglets, Kelechi Iheanacho and Dele Alampasu, to the FIFA Ballon D’or (Footballer of the Year) gala in Zurich, Switzerland on January 13, 2014.

The Golden Eaglets won their record fourth U-17 World Cup title at the latest edition of the tournament which was held from October 17 to November 8, 2013.

Nigeria took the title following a 3-0 defeat of Mexico who they had earlier beaten 6-1 in the preliminary stage.

MAKE HER LOVE YOU: Four Things Every Man Needs to Know About Women

There are a lot of things that can cause conflict in a relationship and sometimes it boils down to couples not understanding each other.

Here are 4 things men should know about women to make things a bit easier.

How to Buy a Woman a Drink

You should be able to sense whether she's into you before you approach. First, make eye contact. If you feel a connection, walk over and ask her if you can buy her next round. If she says yes, you're in. If she turns you down, then leave her alone. You can be confident without being aggressive.

How to Plan Dinner at Your Place

"t's all about setting the scene. If you can cook, cook. If you can't, order in. That's fine. But then put dinner plates on the table and bring out the candles, flowers, and wine. She wants to see that you're being proactive and that you've put some thought into this.

How to Show a Woman You're Thinking About Her

We love flowers and we love sweet text messages. We don't mind if it's a cliche as long as you make the effort to surprise us. After my husband leaves the house in the morning, I sometimes find little notes saying 'I love you' or 'I'm thinking about you.' That's really all it takes to make my day.

How to Talk to an Angry Woman

First, listen to her speak. Then say, 'Yes, dear.' It's that simple. If you have to get something off your chest, save it until she cools off. Remember: If you really care about her, nothing is worth turning into a blowout fight.

How To Build Strong Relationships - 10 Tips

It is not a secret that any relationships face hard times and problems. It is better to be aware of the basics that will help to start building strong ties from the very beginning to feel comfortable with the partner.

1. Use relationships to teach you how to be whole within
Relationships aren’t about having another person complete you, but coming to the relationship whole and sharing your life interdependently. Learn to love the distances in relationship as much as the togetherness.

2. See your partner for who he or she really is
The romantic tragedy occurs when one partner attributes to the other the qualities the latter doesn't possess. When you realize that more often than not you don’t really know your partner, you begin to discover who they are and how they change and evolve.

3.Learn from each other
Be able to see the other as a mirror and learn from the reflection how you can be a better person. When you feel upset, don't blame your partner, remain awake to what has yet to be healed in yourself.

4. Get comfortable being alone
In order to accept that love can’t rescue you from being alone, learn to spend time being with yourself. By feeling safe and secure to be on your own within the framework of relationship, you will feel more complete, happy, and whole.

5. Look closely at why a fight may begin
Some couples remain in a vicious circle by fighting and then making up over and over again. This allows you to continue the romantic trance, creating drama and avoiding real intimacy. If you become aware of what you fear about intimacy, you’ll have a better sense of why you’re fighting—and likely will fight far less.

6. Own who you are
Own who you are. We generally grasp at romantic love because we’re yearning for something that is out of reach, something in another person that we don’t think we possess in ourselves. But then we discover that we didn’t get what we were looking for. True love is about loving yourself first. You can only get from another person what you’re willing to give yourself.

7. Don't be scared of ordinariness
After the fairy-dust start of a relationship ends, we discover ordinariness, and we often do everything we can to avoid it. The trick is to see that ordinariness can become the real “juice” of intimacy. Then everyday life with the partner becomes extraordinary.

8. Expand your heart
We all want to be happy, which also includes the desire to be close to someone. To create real intimacy, discover the spaciousness of your heart and bring awareness to what is good within you. It’s easier to find the good in your partner when you’re connected to the good in yourself.

9. Focus on giving love
Genuine love is first about giving. The unintentional outcome of loving others more deeply is that we are loved more deeply.

10. Let go of expectations
You may look to things such as romance and constant togetherness to fill a void in yourself. This will immediately cause suffering. If you unconsciously expect to receive love in certain ways to avoid giving that love to yourself, you will put your sense of security in someone else. Refer to your own resources: offer love, attention, and nurturance to yourself when you need it. Then you can let love come to you instead of putting expectations on what it should be like. 

12 Reasons Women Don't Date 'Nice Guys'

If you are a guy reading this, you have probably noticed that, instead of opting for a nice and calm partner who would treat her right (you), the girl usually chooses a 'bad boy'. If you are a girl, then you probably are wondering why you are attracted to and end up with a man who treats you badly. We've tried to come up with sensible reasons why this happens, but you are very welcome to add some new insights on the matter in the comments!

1. Not real. Nice guys are too nice. No one can always be that nice unless they're a saint. They are busy being nice instead of being real and women instinctually don't trust that. Bad boys "keep it real." Nice guys don't want to upset the apple cart.

2. Respect. No one respects a doormat. Nice guys don't set boundaries or make any real demands. A bad boy doesn't let a woman walk all over him or control him. Women can't respect a man they can control. No respect equals no attraction.

3. Predictable. Most people lead boring, predictable lives, so they're attracted to people who are exciting and a bit unpredictable. Bad boys are always a challenge.Nice guys are never a challenge. Predictable plus no excitement plus no challenge.

4. Mother Nature. Women are designed to nurture. However, instead of doing this with children, they often end up doing it with bad boys. They think their love will save them. Nice guys rarely need to be saved.

5. Fixing. Nice guys don't usually need to be fixed. Bad boys usually do, so they become a project. Women think if they can "create" the perfect man, he will never leave them. Also, if they're busy fixing someone else, they don't have to look at what needs to be fixed in their own lives.

6. Genetic wars. Women are designed to procreate with the strongest possible genes. Bad boys are sending an unconscious message that they have great genes, so they're not afraid of losing the woman by misbehaving. Nice guys are sending a message that they don't think their genes are good enough, so they won't misbehave.

7. Fear of intimacy. If a woman is afraid of intimacy, she subconsciously knows she can avoid it with a bad boy, since she can never get close enough to him to have to go there. A nice guy will eventually want a commitment, and that's scary.

8. Low self-esteem: We don't feel comfortable with people who treat us better than we treat ourselves. If you don't think much of yourself, the bad boy is simply reinforcing your negative belief. A nice guy is treating you in a way you're not familiar with.

9. Sex. Women feel a nice guy won't be good in bed. They sometimes like to be manhandled and think a nice guy won't be able to take control and get the job done. A bad boy comes across as being able to deliver, even though that may not always be the case.

10. Hot. Have you ever seen a bad boy who wasn't hot? They probably wouldn't be able to get away with half the stuff they did if they didn't look so good. Meanwhile, when a woman describes someone as a nice guy, she means, "He's not hot."

11. Charm. Nice guys don't always know what to say and are sometimes at a loss for words. Bad boys can be very charming and know exactly what women want to hear. However, they eventually switch over to being selfish. By the time they reveal their true colors, the woman has fallen for them and has a hard time letting go.

12. Protection. Historically, men have protected women — physically and otherwise. Bad boys give the illusion of being able to protect women, while withnice guys, women aren't so sure. Life is about balance. Most men fall into either the bad boy or the nice guy category. The ideal man is neither, but walks that fine line between the two. Until men learn how to do this, more often than not, women will choose the bad boy, until they realize that his bad qualities outweigh his good ones.

The Secret To Getting Any Girl To Have Sex With You

Getting to have sex with a girl you desire is a dream come true. You may want to date her or you may find her extremely sexually attractive.

Get these ten moves right, and she’ll be more than happy to have sex with you!

1. Let her see your great side:If you want to have sex with a girl, you definitely have to be good enough to get her attention. If she thinks you’re desirable and everything she wants in a great guy, half your work’s cut out for you already.

2. Let her know you’re interested in her: Talk to her, spend time with her, and let her catch you staring at her discreetly now and then. Make her wonder if you’re interested in her without revealing too much. If you ask her out without making her like you first, she’ll lose the excitement of the mysterious relationship. Make her wonder what’s on your mind and you’ll make her fall in love with you without even asking her out.

3. Get out of the friend zone: Unless you’re dating her already, the friend zone is a scary place to be. Friends don’t have sex with each other and they avoid getting sexually attracted to each other. Be her friend, but don’t be just another friend who’s got no sexual interest in her. Make it clear that you find her attractive and sexy. Tease her sexually, compliment her outfit with sexy remarks and talk dirty with her. Both of you may be friends, but let her feel the sexual tension when you’re around her.

4. Spend more time with her: If you want to have sex with a girl, the only time you can work your magic is by getting some alone time with her. You need to flirt sexually and make her feel comfortable to be with you. But you can’t do that when there are other friends around. Behave normally when there are other friends with her, but the second they walk away, say something like, “whew… now I get to spend some alone time with this sexy girl…” or something else that makes it clear that you find her attractive in a more-than-just-friends kind of way.

5. Go out with her: You don’t have to fix a date to take her out. Grab lunch together at work or help her run an errand now and then. By doing that, you’re already taking the place of her boyfriend in her mind. But always remember to keep the sexual excitement on a high. Or she’d just look at you as a friend.

6. Touch her and excite her: The touch is a very powerful way to send the right signals across without seeming desperate. Look for ways to touch her arm or clasp her hand at the opportune moment. The more you touch her delicately and sensually, the more sexually turned on she’d get.

7. Invite her to your place: Invite her to your pad, or get invited back to her place. You’ve built the sexual tension already. She knows you’re not just a friend, and she definitely knows you’re attracted to her already. By getting comfortable in each other’s places, it’s taking you one step closer to her bedroom and into her pants. After all, if you’re going to get a girl to have sex with you soon, you need to make her feel comfortable with you in each other’s private spaces.

8. Give her a few sneak peeks: So she thinks you’re a nice guy who’s attracted to her. But that’s really not enough. You need to arouse her and force her to take little glances at your sexy side. Look away from her and stretch casually when you have a hard on inside your jeans. Let her catch a sneak peek of your obliques and your rather low trousers when you’re changing your shirt at your place. Always look away when you’re flaunting your body to her. It gives her enough time to admire you sexually without the fear of getting caught. These moves will involuntarily make her get sexually attracted to you and desire you.

9. Watch a movie together: Go out on a date or stay back at home and watch a movie. A movie involves a few hours of quiet time where both of you sit really close to each other. This is where you can touch her ever so slightly with your arm or your foot. Do it the right way and be patient, the chemistry can be electrifying. If you want to seduce a girl, absentmindedly graze your arm against hers with the slightest of touches while sitting next to her. It’ll turn her on before you know it!

10. Arouse her the right way: If you want to know how to get a girl to have sex with you, you really need to remember that all the focus is on sexually exciting her and arousing her into making out with you. Never seem pushy, instead play it safe and slow instead of going too fast.

These ten tips on how to get a girl to have sex with you can help you do more than just kiss the girl you like or touch her breasts.

The Foreplay Your Man Secretly Desires

Aren’t men always ready for sex? A quick kiss, a gentle nibble and they are up for action.

But there are times they crave some foreplay too. Turning him on slowly and seductively is the way to go.

Here are the foreplay moves which they secretly crave but rarely openly accept.

Seeing you naked: Your man must have seen you naked numerous times, but what he really wants to do is, take some time out and admire your naked body. Don’t be shy, let him examine every curve and contour and feel proud that you belong to him. It’s a major turn-on.

Breath play: Men love it when you use your breath to turn them on. Slowly breathe on his neck, letting him know that you are ready to get hot and heavy with him. Breathe near his bare chest and even stomach. The rush of hot air speeds up arousal and makes lovemaking even more interesting.

Rough game: Guys often like a forceful approach to foreplay, while women prefer love tender seduction. Take charge and play boss. Don’t let him touch you, instead kiss him with all the passion you have. Using your nails will also add to the pleasure and drive him crazy.

Tantalising touches: Don’t always head for the package when trying to touch your man. Surprise him with long nail strokes or even butt squeezes. Your man will love the fact that you are making love to his entire body.

Role play: It maybe an age-old trick, but men love it when you behave like an entirely different person behind closed doors. So go all out with a wig, change the way you wear your make up, acquire an accent for the night and even give yourself a new name, if that's what floats his boat. Make it sound like a one-night stand and enjoy it like there's no tomorrow.

Playing footsie: Why not start the foreplay much before you have reached home? Play footsie with your guy when out with him. Kick of his shoes and lock toes with him. Caress his legs and even tickle your man. If you are lucky and the table cloth covers you entirely, place your leg on his lap and play gently. He will rush for the cheque and before you know it you'll be having the time of your life.

Nipple nibble: Not many know it, but men’s nipples are just as sensitive as ours. Play with your man's nipples and he'll get all charged up. Lick and suck on them and gently blow them during foreplay and see them perk up with passion.

Tip-tease: After your man is hot and hard for you, don’t let him enter you immediately. Just play with the tip of his penis and allow him to enter. Then squeeze your cervix muscles and do not allow him further entry. Do it a number of times and drive him crazy with lust.

7 Worst Foods You Should Never Eat For Breakfast

You know that eating breakfast is important. But did you realize that some a.m. choices can set the tone for how you feel the rest of your day.

Not only that, but eating a healthy breakfast every morning can reduce the risk for diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Here you will get the scoop on which breakfast foods to avoid.

Bacon, ham and sausage

Processed meat has nitrates that are associated with colorectal cancer. In fact, the Institute for Cancer Research published a list of the top ten things you can do to reduce your risk of cancer. Avoiding nitrates is a number one of them. What does that mean for morning meat eaters? It is time to find a different breakfast option.

Sugary cereals

How can you tell the difference between a bad sugary cereal and a good one for your health? Some cereals are full of carbs and sugar. When you eat them, your blood sugar rapidly spikes and then bottoms out. Since you probably do not want your energy to crash at the beginning of the day, it is best to avoid those cereals.

Instead, choose cereals with higher fiber and protein. Do you seek for another option? Add ground flaxseed or walnuts for more protein and fiber.

Packaged pancakes with artificial  sweet syrup

There are many artificial types of sweet syrup on the market that are full of high fructose corn syrup. The sweetener, which is derived from corn, is also present in most processed and packaged foods.

High fructose corn syrup can lead to more abdominal obesity and visceral fat, which is stored between the organs. This is the fat that leads to cancer. A recent study in one journal also linked high fructose corn syrup consumption to diabetes.

Toaster pastries, doughnuts

Not only are these pastries made with refined white flour, but there is much sugar added. Sugar is the worst way to fuel you in the morning, because it results in a rapid rise in blood sugar. That means you will be hungry sooner and increase your chances of high blood sugar, obesity and diabetes.

If all those health risks are not enough to put you off pastries, there is the other way they can be detrimental to your health. As many scientists believe sugar and cancer are linked.

Microwavable breakfast sandwiches

Healthy options exist, but many are packed with preservatives and sodium. In this case best idea is to make your own by microwaving a beaten egg and toast a whole grain muffin.

Light Yogurts

They may have only hundred calories and come in flavors such as red velvet cheesecake, but they are usually filled with artificial sweeteners and chemicals. Go for low fat yogurt instead.

Muffins

They top the list of the most caloric breakfast foods. What is the reason? They are extremely dense and what they are packed with is generally not what you need - white flour, oil or butter and a lot of sugar.
