Why Many Women Are Single — Rapper, CDQ

Popular Nigerian rapper, Sodiq Abubakar Yusuf, better known as CDQ, has disclosed why most ladies are still single.

According to him, they are unmarried because of bad advice from bad friends and ill assumptions.

CDQ stated this in a video message shared via his Instastory recently.

He said, “Do you know why many ladies are single nowadays? It is due to bad advice from bad friends or ill assumptions. Normally, when you meet a guy and he confessed his love to you. He calls you every day and night, he buys you flowers. Then the moment that the man discovers that you’ve already fallen in love with him, then maybe those things are now reduced. Then you now start assuming that ‘Oh! he doesn’t love me anymore.’

“Trust me, that doesn’t says if he loves you any more or not. Men generally, our brains are wired about hustle. Men just think about hustle every time. But that time that he saw you, he was just trying to win you over. Then after you guys are now together, his brain is like ‘unto the next thing’.”

The rapper added that ladies are wired to love while men are wired to hustle.

Chelsea: I Don’t Recognise My Club Anymore – Drogba Speaks

Didier Drogba, the former Chelsea striker, has talked about the club’s recent woeful performances.

He says he does not “recognise the club” compared with when he played at Stamford Bridge.

His comment comes after Chelsea’s faint Champions League dreams were dashed on Wednesday.

Speaking with Canal+, Drogba said “It is not the same club any more. I don’t recognise my club. There is a new owner and a new vision.

“We try to compare with what was done under the Abramovich era, where there were many acquisitions of players, but the choices were very intelligent.

He continued, “Bringing in players like Petr Cech, Andriy Shevchenko, Hernan Crespo, Michael Essien, Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda, and I go on. It was to win titles and they are players who already have some experience. Here the strategy is different, they bet on young players.

“I think they certainly lack charismatic players and leaders. It needs players who take responsibility.”

Drogba won 12 major awards between 2004 and 2012 under previous owner Roman Abramovich, whose generous backing transformed the Blues into serial trophy winners following his takeover in 2003.

The 56-year-old was forced to sell the club last year after the UK government sanctioned him for alleged links to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
