<p>
	In honour of her mother, <strong>Mrs Shola Jalade</strong> who she lost 10 years ago ‘after a brief illness’, the Nollywood star enrolled the women in her ‘<strong>The 20 Widows Makeover</strong>’ programme, one of many projects under her <strong>Omotola Youth Empowerment Programme</strong> (OYEP).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">
	‘<em>We put the information out on BBM (Blackberry Messenger), and Twitter, but especially Hints magazine</em>’, Omotola tells NET how OYEP found the 20 lucky women. They were all pampered from head to toe, first with a total makeover, including facials and massage by the reputable Fresh Look Spa and celebrity choice – <strong>H and H</strong> Spa. Each widow had her hair done by celebrity hair stylist – <strong>Ugo Igbokwe</strong>of ‘<strong>Make Me</strong>‘, while they were made up by House of Tara.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">
	After the make-over, it was time for shopping galore with Omotola at a top fashion boutique, and after selecting their outfits, the icing on the cake; a photo session with top photographer – <strong>Kelechi Amadi-Obi</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">
	The women were also given various gift items such as sets of designer pots and other cooking utensils, as well as foodstuff, and a make-up kit from <strong>House of Tara</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">
	‘<em>This is something I wish I or someone had done for my mother.  If you give these women money, they would spend it on their kids. This time it’s about them</em>’, said the actress, who also lost her dad 21 years ago.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">
	The actress, who has been commended for this program, told NET she isn’t sure OYEP will repeat it next year; ‘We attend to different things every year. Last year, it was children , we did this with Unicef’.</p>

<div>

<div>
	Botswana went into this game hoping to put to bed the memories of that 6-1 defeat to Guinea behind them with a positive performance. While The Zebras could have qualified for the last eight, they needed an incredible score line to do that.</div>

	<div>
		Botswana were put under pressure early in this game, as they had every man behind the ball as Mali played with confidence.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		The Eagles’ Modibo Maiga did well to turn his marker inside out but his cross was over-hit when a goal looked certain in the 15th minute.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Again in the 26th minute, Maiga, who had been seeing a lot of the ball out wide for much of the match, got his head to a deep cross but failed to keep the effort on target under pressure from the Botswana defence.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Bakaye Traore with a wasted a great scoring opportunity to round off a super build up for Mali, although the ball did bobble horribly just as he hit his shot from the edge of the box. There must have been 30 passes on the edge of the Botswana box as the Eagles tried to find space in which to attack.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		In the 42nd minute, Abdou Traore found some magic in his feet with a fantastic turn as he tried to open up the Botswana defence, but to no avail, before Drissa Diakite drove in a fierce cross that Marumo did well to palm away. The Zebras are showed great discipline in defence.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		In the second half, the Zebras looked a lot more attack minded in the opening minutes and it came as no surprise when they opened the scoring. In the 51st minute, Mogakolodi Ngele powered the ball into the back of the net with his left foot after latching on to a great cross from the right-hand side from Moemedi Moatlhaping to make it 1-0.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		But Botswana’s happiness did not last long as Mali responded within a matter of minutes. Garra Dembele restored parity from close range for the Eagles.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		A great cross from Traore from the left-hand side was headed on target by Maiga and it was well saved by Marumo, but Dembele was first to react and smashed the ball home from just outside the Botswana six-yard box.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		In the 68th minute, Coulibaly smashed the ball against the crossbar after an incredible run following a link up with Dembele. The substitute raced into the box before unleashing a bullet of a shot.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Seydou Keita renewed his side's hope of progressing with a super finish in the 75th minute. The Barcelona man curled the ball into the top left-hand corner of the net after linking up with substitute Diabate, who just managed to poke the ball back to his teammate with Motlhabankwe unable to clear the ball while sitting on the deck.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		After the goal, every Botswana player was behind the ball as they attempted to stifle the Mali frontline, who were buoyed by their goal and went in search of another.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Phenyo Mongala’s late influenced did not repay the Zebras as Mali went on to win 2-1.</div>

<div>
	Guinea chased a winner to no avail, but Mali's 2-1 win over Botswana saw the Malians through and Guinea go out. The tournament's final pair of group games were finely poised at the beginning of the night, with Ghana, Guinea and Mali all in with a good shout of progressing from Group D.</div>

	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		And Guinea started the brighter in Franceville, putting the Black Stars under pressure, but unable to create any clear early chances.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		“We didn't want to get into a situation of problems. It was just important that we qualified for the next stage.” Ghana assistant coach Kwesi Appiah</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		The Guineans had the ball in the back of the net first, but Ibrahima Traore was adjudged just offside, after getting in behind the Ghana defence and nut-megging Adam Kwarasey in the Black Stars goal.</div>
	<div>
		Almost immediately, Ghana responded with the opener and a major contender for goal of the tournament.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Badu calmly collected the ball on the right edge of the Guinea area, before flicking it up with his left and hammering it into the top corner with his right.</div>
	<div>
		It was Ghana's first real clear-cut chance of the game, and they happily slotted back into their comfort zone in its wake, happy to soak up Guinea's pressure.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		The Syli Nationale duly obliged, earning a series of corners that put Kwarasey under real pressure, but the Ghana goalkeeper showed much more composure than he did in Botswana's 2-0 win over Mali, punching several Guinean crosses away well.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Guinea then almost handed Ghana a second, after confusion between their defence and goalkeeper Naby Yattara allowed Asamoah Gyan to almost get in before the ball broke to Samuel Inkoom, who chipped just wide.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Ghana looked to be headed for the break in front, but Guinea got their equaliser and put themselves briefly back in contention, with a goal from nowhere, right on the half-time whistle.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		"We all know that Ghana is a great team but it didn't need the help of the referee”Guinea coach Michel Dussuyer.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Camara ran down the left channel and chipped into the box at pace, before watching it sail right over Kwarasey and nestle in the net to put the sides level at the interval.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Guinea's Mamadou Dioulde Bah earned a suspension just after the break with a second yellow card of the tournament, and it would get worse for the Stuttgart midfielder, as he earned a second of the match and was dismissed for a trip on Kwadwo Asamoah.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Guinea tried to press for a second, but Ghana closed the game out well, retaining possession, and taking advantage of the extra man after Bah's dismissal.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		The Black Stars finally took the sting out of the game and added a 1-1 draw to their two previous wins in the group to send them through, while Mali's 2-1 victory over Botswana sealed Guinea's fate.</div>
	<div>
		Ghana assistant coach Kwesi Appiah paid tribute to his side for getting the result they needed to advance.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		"We didn't want to get into a situation of problems,'' Appiah said.</div>
	<div>
		"It was just important that we qualified for the next stage.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		"At the end of the day, the most important thing is making sure you qualify.''</div>
	<div>
		Guinea coach Michel Dussuyer said his players had shown a good will to win, but criticised referee Daniel Bennett for decisions made during the match, including Bah's first yellow card.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		"We all know that Ghana is a great team but it didn't need the help of the referee,'' Dussuyer said.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		"I am very disappointed with the performance of the referee.''</div>
	<div>
		Ghana will take on Tunisia in their quarter-final in Franceville on Sunday, with Mali meeting co-hosts Gabon in Libreville.</div>

<p>
	Speaking during an AU session on peace and security on Monday, Mugabe asked: "Well, well that was Libya. Who will be next?"</p>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	Mr. Mugabe urged the AU not to rush to recognize Libya’s national transitional council, but examine Gadhafi’s post-capture killing.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	The president said Western nations have run out of resources and are now scrambling to Africa as the continent discovers more natural resources.</div>
<div>
	The state-controlled Herald newspaper said a Libyan National Transitional Council official who took the floor shortly after Mr. Mugabe was clearly livid.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition Regional Coordinator Dewa Mavhinga said the AU should have intervened in Libya long before the NATO allies took action.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	“So if the AU fails again to deal, for example with Zimbabwe, then it means we are left with the same scenario where the west would have to intervene on humanitarian grounds in a case where the AU should have long sorted it out,” Mavhinga said.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	He said Mugabe’s question asking which African country will be targeted next after Libya was significant, saying it shows the “state of panic ... prevalent amongst dictators.”</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	Political analyst Livingston Dzikira praised Mr. Mugabe’s comments as the first strong criticism of the AU to come from an African head of state.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	Dzikira added that the AU's role for the continent remains mostly symbolic. “The AU is just a political get-together where resolutions are made but there is no mechanism to implement conflict resolution,” Dzikira added.</div>

<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	“The FIFA Task Force Football 2014, the medical committee and the football committee support the proposal in order to maintain the technical level until the 120th minute and to protect the health of the players,” FIFA said Wednesday.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	Goal-line technology tests will return to the agenda of the rules panel, which is known as IFAB.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	The panel will receive progress reports on tests involving eight systems, and decide which will proceed to a scheduled second round of testing starting in March.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	FIFA said a final decision to approve goal-line technology can be taken at a further IFAB meeting on July 2. It could take place in Kiev, the day after the 2012 European Championship final in the Ukraine capital.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	IFAB will also study trials of the five-referee system, using additional assistants beside each goal to support referees’ decision-making, which conclude at Euro 2012.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	The panel will reconsider allowing Islamic female players to wear a hijab, five years after the headscarf was banned for safety reasons.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	FIFA vice president Prince Ali of Jordan has urged IFAB to respect cultural traditions and approve a headscarf held in place by a safe Velcro fastener.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	IFAB, which is comprised of the four British associations plus FIFA delegates, could also amend the so-called “triple punishment” of sanctioning certain fouls with a penalty kick, red card and suspension.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	FIFA acknowledged that the current system is “widely considered to be too severe.”</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	A suggested amendment calls for a red card only when a player prevents “an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball, by holding or an offense committed from behind inside his own penalty area when he has no opportunity to play the ball.”</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	Other proposals on the agenda include assessing tests at the 2011 Copa America where referees used vanishing spray on the grass to mark the 10 yards (9 meters) that defensive walls must retreat from the ball once placed for a free kick.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	FIFA wants the word “blatantly” removed from definitions of a handball offense, and the English Football Association suggested that players must only use tape of the same color as their socks.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	“This can cause confusion particularly for assistant referees who may need to look at the sock to determine who last played the ball before it has gone out of play,” the IFAB agenda stated.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	Rules are amended with six of the eight available votes. Each British association—from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales—has one vote and FIFA officials have four.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	Changes typically take effect on July 1 ahead of the following season, but can be fast-tracked for a major tournament if the panel agrees.</div>

	<div>
		"It was not easy because we were already qualified for the quarterfinals. But thanks to the professional attitude and fighting spirit of the players, we won to finish top of the group."</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Tunisia coach Sami Trabelsi said he rested several players – goalkeeper Aymen Mathlouthi, skipper Karim Haggui, Khaled Korbi and Mejdi Traoui –because they would have been suspended for the quarterfinals had they been booked.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		"We rested some of the players because they have already been booked and we did not wish to risk them before the quarterfinals," said Trabelsi.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		"However, those who played today showed many good qualities because we played well but we could not win the match."</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Skipper Daniel Cousin could have doubled the co-hosts’ lead in the 67th minute but his shot from a rebound was well off target as Gabon seemed to be a revived team after the recess.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		The north Africans fought to restore parity but the home team were resolute in defence to hold on for another famous victory.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		All the same, the 2004 champions played with ease despite the wet conditions at the Franceville Stadium and after seven minutes Youssef Msakni fired a low drive from distance which was cushioned by Gabon goalkeeper Ovono.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		The Carthage Eagles continued to attack their opponents with Aymen Abdennour coming close after 22 minutes with a header off a corner kick as Gabon struggled to put together a decent attack.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		It was not until the 25th minute that Gabon had a clear sight on goal when Roguy Meye headed wide of the mark as goalkeeper Jeridi came out to catch a long ball inside his box.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Andre Poko then tried another shot from distance three minutes later, but it was always going wide and never troubled the Tunisia goalkeeper.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		In the 36th, Meye somehow got the better of his marker Abdennour on the edge of the box, but the header by Poko off his cross was not well directed at the Tunisia goal.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Soon after Bruno Zita blasted his free kick wide after Cousin was fouled around the left hand corner of the Tunisia goal area.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		In first half stoppage time, the co-hosts came closest to opening the scoring when Aubameyang’s low cross was not properly cleared by the Tunisia defence and from the loose ball Cousin scuffed his shot wide from 10 yards.</div>

	<div>
		"The crisis after the second game (3-2 defeat to the co-hosts) was terrible, but the players stood up and showed the first signs of life tonight, that's what I needed to see.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		"My players tried to leave this Nations Cup with their heads held high, having said that our campaign was catastrophic."</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		With 2014 World Cup qualifying starting in June the Belgian confirmed he would not be walking away from his job.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Rolland Courbis, the team consultant who assumed control of Niger from manager Harouna Doula after their shambolic opening loss to Gabon, said Morocco had deserved to win.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Like Gerets a former coach of Marseille Courbis added: "We didn't attain our objectives so I congratulate those 'experts' who said Niger would finish fourth, we're fourth.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		This video is not available in your region</div>
	<div>
		"Our biggest regret was our first defeat to Gabon, that complicated things.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		"Niger has lots of qualities and limits, but we were in a difficult group, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the two qualified teams goes alll the way."</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		With all of Gabon glued to events up in Franceville the L'Amitie stadium was nearly empty.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Morocco enjoyed near total possession in the early stages without causing Niger keeper Daouda Kassaly too much concern, Kharja and Youssef Hadji both shooting over the bar.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		On 34 minutes Dynamo Kiev's Celtic recruit Badr El Kaddouri had Kassaly charging out of his goal with a close range shot, Niger defender Kofi Dankwae's outstretched foot clearing to safety.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		But the best chance of the first half fell to the always dangerous Moussa Maazou who shortly after neatly controlled a high ball into the area, turned and smashed a shot only for the ball to ricochet off the bar with keeper Mohamed Amsif beaten.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Five minutes from the break Houssine Kharja's Cup came to a premature and painful end when the Morccan captain and joint top scorer in the competition left the pitch on a stretcher with a knee injury. Adil Hermach came on in the skipper's place.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Niger, 45 minutes away from an historic first Nations cup point, held a prayer session before the restart.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		They were looking at grabbing all three points as Karim Lancina's pinpoint 25m freekick headed for goal on 46 minutes only for Amsif to safely extinguish the danger.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Approaching the hour mark and another well worked move by Morocco saw Belhanda find Mbark Boussoufa in the box, with Kassaly falling at the Russian-based midfielder's feet to smother the ball.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		The biggest cheer of the night came in the 65th minute....when Gabon took the lead up in Franceville.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Back in Libreville, good work from Kassaly was keeping Morocco at bay until the 89th minute when Marouane Chamakh fed Montpellier midfielder Belhanda whose sliding right-footed shot broke Niger's hearts and likely keep Gerets in a job.</div>

	<div>
		Nine minutes later Wilfried Bony created a chance out of nothing when he ran through the middle before firing a low shot which drew a brilliant one handed save from Wilson as he pushed it around the post.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		It was all Ivory Coast as far as taking shots was concerned and in the 22nd minute they were awarded a free kick just outside the box when Emmanuel Eboue was tripped by Andre Macanga; the ball was nudged into Kolo Toure’s path but his low drive went wide off the target.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		The opening goal arrived in the 33rd minute when Bony beat two defenders for pace on his way into the box before playing a low cross from the left side; Angolan defender Miguel tried to intercept the pass but the ball fell kindly for Eboue to bury into the back of the net at the far post.</div>

	<div>

	<div>
		The second half started as slowly as the first half with the Sable Antelopes not showing too much urgency to get back on level terms, perhaps because they were trying not to concede more goals.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		However, it all backfired in the worst way in the 64th minute when substitute Abdel Keita delivered a long pass that looked like a routine catch or punch for the goalkeeper.</div>

	<div>

	<div>
		However, lack of communication saw defender Dani Massunguna heading the ball over the advancing Wilson, leaving Bony with the easiest task of pushing the ball into an open net.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		The Elephants could’ve extended their advantage ten minutes later when Max Gradel’s corner was flicked on by Igor Lolo but Sol Bamba headed wide from point blank range.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		The Angolans started committing men forward and came close to pulling one goal back in 80th minute when Manucho connected with a corner at the near post, but his glancing header drew a brilliant reflex save from Daniel Yeboah, who had not had much to do throughout the match.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		The Sable Antelopes then had another good chance two minutes later when a cross was delivered into the far post towards Nando Rafal and Marco Airosa, but the latter’s header was cleared off the line by Kolo Toure.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		With Sudan beating Burkina Faso 2-1 in Bata, it spelt the end of the road for Angola as the Falcons of Jediane pipped them to second place on goal difference.</div>

<div>
	Mudather Tayeb scored both of Sudan's goals at Estadio de Bata to deliver the nation's biggest football moment since it won the African Cup on home soil in 1970. It was Sudan's first victory in the four tournaments it's played at since that triumph.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	Mudather broke clear to beat Burkina Faso goalkeeper Daouda Diakite in the 33rd minute and then punished a mistake by the keeper with 10 minutes to go to dramatically carry Sudan through, despite a goal in the seventh minute of stoppage time by substitute Issiaka Ouedraogo which caused a nerve-fraying final few moments for the Sudanese.</div>

	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		"This generation has achieved a good victory for Sudanese football," coach Mohamed Abdallah said. "We proved that we can play against big teams with a completely local team, and the second youngest team in the championship with the average age of 24.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		"We won the championship in 1970 and now we're back with this generation that I hope have the confidence to continue the winning ways."</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		It came down to overall goal difference for Sudan and Angola — who both finished on four points — after the teams drew 2-2 in their group meeting.</div>
	<div>
		Burkina Faso slipped to its third straight defeat and didn't help Angola's cause by missing a string of chances, the worst of which came from Ouedraogo in the 85th when he shot over from right in front of the goal.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Sudan will play Group A winner Zambia, while tournament favorite Ivory Coast meets co-host Equatorial Guinea in the last eight on Saturday.</div>
	<div>
		Sudan was forced into an early change when defender Nagmaldien Abdullah was left dazed by a boot in the face from a Burkinabe striker inside the first three minutes. He stayed down and was taken off on a stretcher.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Burkina Faso continued its early pressure as Jonathan Pitroipa made a surging run into the Sudan penalty area and laid off a pass to Narcisse Yameogo, but his shot was deflected into the side netting.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Sudan rallied and Mohamed Al Tahir's free kick ricocheted off the Burkina Faso wall and went just wide.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Mudather pounced as he rode a poor challenge from last-man Mamadou Tall and then opened up his body to flick the ball past Diakite and into the far right corner.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Burkina Faso was again the more dangerous team in the early stages of the second half but kept wasting good chances.</div>

<p>
	Clotilde Drogba, who personally does the traditional home cooking of fried plantain chips, pepper soup, white rice, tomato sauce and attieke, said it was her contribution to nation at the tournament by feeding the supporters so they could have enough strength to cheer the team to final victory.</p>
<div>
	Every match day, some 60 members of the national committee of the Elephants supporters (CNSE) queue up with empty bowls to collect food free off charge from the mother of the most influential Ivorian player, before heading to the stands to sing and clap.</div>

<p>
	<strong>More from newjerseynewsroom:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
	<div>
		President Barack Obama used to have an easier job in the Illinois senate. And instead of needing bulletproof transportation, he spent a few of his years in Illinois driving in a grey 2005 Chrysler sedan.</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
	<div>
		That car has had three owners, and is now on eBay for auction. If you think gas prices are high, all this car’s going to cost you is $1,000,00.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
	<div>
		The woman handling the auction, Lisa Czibor, said to ABC News, “How do you put a price on something like that?” The eBay listing says Obama drove his Chrysler 300C sedan from July 2004 through summer of 2007, putting more than 19,000 miles on the car before trading it in for a 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid.</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
	<div>
		The seller listing says the sedan comes with “the original paperwork and the title showing that this vehicle was actually used by Barack.” Czibor has a 100 percent positive feedback rating on eBay.</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
	<div>
		According to the New York Times, Obama had been criticized in 2008 for driving a V-8 Hemi-powered auto that ate gasoline while at the same time complaining about auto companies not building fuel-efficient cars.</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
	<div>
		Apparently the price is based on historical value. The Christian Science Monitor reports that the Kelley Blue Book value for a 2005 Chrysler 300C maintained in excellent condition with an odometer reading of 20,800 miles is $16,558.</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
	<div>
		In 2009, a Russian billionaire bought a blue Mercedes said to be owned by Adolf Hitler for $8 million. But Franklin Roosevelt’s Cadillac V-16 convertible presidential limousine sold for a mere $270,000 at a recent auction.</div>
</blockquote>
<div>
	No bids have been placed on the Obama vehicle at this writing. Full payment is required within ten days of purchase. The auction ends February 1.</div>

<div>
	Equatorial Guinea were without their inspirational captain Rodolfo Bodipo due to injury, while Lawrence Doe was suspended after his red card against Senegal.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	Inside the first five minutes, Zambian skipper Christopher Katongo broke through the centre before squeezing his shot high and wide of the target from just outside the area.</div>
<div>
	 </div>
<div>
	Soon after Zambian goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene did well to collect a testing cross by Javier Balboa from the right.</div>

	<div>
		Mweene was called into action again in the 10th minute as he saved Juvenal Edjogo's stinging free-kick from 35 yards out.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		At the other end, Emmanuel Makaya tried something special as he headed over the crossbar with his back to goal.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		In this free free-flowing contest, there was plenty of space to exploit. In the 28th minute, Equatorial Guinea goalkeeper Danilo acrobatically punched clear a cross from the right to bring the crowd to its feet.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		Mweene did superbly to thwart Ivan Bolado in a one-on-one situation by racing off his line to close the angle in the 43rd minute.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		At the break, it was goalless in Malabo.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		In the second stanza, the game remained open and Zambia looked the more promising of the two sides.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		But after numerous failed attempts, Katongo finally managed to break the deadlock in the 67th minute: he stepped in off the left flank before sneaking the ball past Danilo at the near post from just inside the area to make it 1-0.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		After the goal the match took a different dimension from which goal scoring opportunities were limited and as a result Zambia walked out 1-0 victors.</div>
	<div>
		 </div>
	<div>
		This loss serves as a double blow for Nzalang Nacional. Not only will they probably end up facing Cote d’Ivoire in the next round, they won’t play the match in their stronghold of Bata.</div>
