Chelsea Clueless About Terry Return

-

Chelsea interim manager Rafa Benitez admits he has "no idea" when captain John Terry will return to fitness.
Terry has been out of action ever since sustaining a knee injury in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on November 11.
A return date was originally set for December, but the centre-back remained sidelined and missed the Blues' trip to Japan to compete in the FIFA Club World Cup just before the Christmas period. 
Now in January, the former England skipper is still yet to resume full training, and Benitez admits that he does not know when the 32-year-old will be available again.
"I talked with John on Wednesday morning and he is getting there and can start to do the warm-up with the team soon and then we will see how he will progress," Benitez is quoted as saying in the Daily Mirror.
"Talking to the doctor, the problem is a build-up of fluid on the bone. So at this stage we have no idea when he will be back."
Benitez is also facing problems involving several other key players. Goalkeeper Petr Cech is set to be out for up to three weeks with a groin injury while Nigerian pair John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses will soon be departing for the African Nations Cup.
However, the Blues could be boosted by striker Demba Ba completing his transfer from Newcastle in time for Saturday's FA Cup tie at Southampton after the Senegalese completed his medical without a hitch.
"If we can do the business I hope he can play in the FA Cup," Benitez added.

Nigerians Are Good People Indeed

The dispatch with which ordinary Nigerians rescued the motorist whose vehicle plunged into the Lagos lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge on Saturday, January 26, 2013 proved once more that Nigerians are great people. Unlike most stories from Nigeria that usually end on a sad and demoralising note, this story ended on a happy note like a Nollywood film. It was nothing short of a miracle. The sole occupant of that vehicle was brought out of the lagoon alive. But he was not rescued by the Nigerian Navy or the Nigeria Police Force; neither was he rescued by the National Emergency Management Agency or Lagos State Emergency Management Agency or any agency of Lagos State. Mr Shola Oladimeji was rescued by fishermen.  These were not fishermen that used modern boats with special gadgets or equipment. These were men with old-fashioned canoes with paddles. They saw a car plunge into the water and went swiftly and got the occupant of the vehicle out, alive.  Before the government a
