By
The ‘Derby della Mole’ (the Turin derby) between Torino and Juventus is the pick of round 16 in the 2018/19 Serie A, with most of Italy hoping the ‘Old Lady’ will be stopped in their tracks in what should be a fearsome derby.

Make sure to take your front row seat to the best football action in Italy with the match aired on DStv & GOtv.

The match at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Saturday night is the latest instalment of a rivalry which dates back over a century, but it is very much the ‘here and now’ which concerns the two teams.

Juventus will be looking to maintain, if not extend, their eight-point advantage at the top of Serie A and continue a remarkable run which has seen them claim 43 points from a possible 45 this term. They beat potential title rivals Internazionale at home this past weekend, but a cross-town trip to face ‘Il Toro’ is another challenge entirely, and manager Massimiliano Allegri will be urging his team to maintain their high standards.

As for Walter Mazzarri’s side, they come into the game on the back of a goalless draw away to Milan and will hope African defenders Nicolas N’Koulou, Koffi Djidji and Ola Aina once again help them keep a clean sheet.

If Juve do drop points in the derby, Napoli will hope to close the gap with their match away to Cagliari on Sunday evening though their mental state may depend on how they fared in a crunch UEFA Champions League clash away to Liverpool this midweek.

The Milan sides Internazionale and AC will also hope to make up ground and you can catch their matches, aired live on DStv. Inter feature in the opening game of the round as they host Udinese on Saturday afternoon (in a match likely to feature African stars such as Keita Balde, Seko Fofana and William Troost-Ekong), while the latter are away to Bologna next Tuesday night in a clash which wraps up the round.

Other African stars hoping to make headlines in this round of Serie A matches includes Gervinho for Parma in their trip to Sampdoria, Khouma Babacar and Alfred Duncan (who both scored this past weekend) for Sassuolo at Frosinone, Christian Kouame for Genoa in their trip to Roma and Musa Barrow for Atalanta when they host Lazio on Monday.

No 'Shower Hour' On Big Brother Naija - Says MultiChoice

By
As preparations are in top gear for the second edition of social reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria, organisers have revealed that there will be no broadcast of nude footage called ‘Shower Hour’, when the show returns on January 22, 2017. This comes to some fans as ‘decent’, following the controversies generated by that segment of the show, during the now rested continental edition, Big Brother Africa (BBA). MultiChoice is bringing back the Nigerian version of the series after 10 years. It had announced after the last edition of BBA that each African country will stage the show henceforth. Renamed Big Brother Naija, the show will have 12 housemates who will compete for the prize of N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car. Sponsored by PayPorte, the program will run for 78 days, starting 22 January 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised launch and end on 9 April 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised finale.

The Weird BBNaija All-Stars Parrot Come Alive Tonight!

By
When the Big Brother Naija All-Stars house first opened on July 23, the curious eyes of fans picked up on the parrot. It wasn’t just that it seemed out of place; it was also a little weird and didn’t match the decor. So the guessing game began with everyone wondering if it was just a decorative piece or if it held some significance that we had to pay attention to. Those who guessed that it had some relevance we must pay attention to were correct. A little secret you should know first - the parrot is an all-hearing one, and it will spill all the secrets it's heard at 9 pm today. It’s about to be pure mayhem, and we are here for it! For the past two weeks, the parrot has carefully listened to all the drama and gossip in the house, and it is time for the parrot to do what parrots know how to do best, gossip. Big Brother will bring the parrot to life for the first time today, Friday, August 4, at 9 pm, and you best believe the drama is about to go up a notch higher.
