- Jonny Marsh is the private chef who cooks for Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne

- He also prepares meals for City team-mates Ilkay Gundogan and Kyle Walker

- Marsh was recently contacted by Manchester United star Luke Shaw

Jonny Marsh is the private chef of Belgium international Kevin De Bruyne, and he turned down a two-Michelin-star restaurant job for him to work for the Manchester City star.

During the last Christmas celebration, Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne was said to be looking for a cook before he met Jonny Marsh who has been cooking for him since then.

Having started with De Bruyne, Marsh also looks after the diets of other players such as Ilkay Gundogan, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kyle Walker, Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, John Terry, Watford striker Troy Deeney and Crystal Palace pair Scott Dann and Conor Wickham.

''The player liaison officer at City rang me and was like look Kevin needs a chef over Christmas, are you available?

''I just had that feeling that something was going to come and I ended up cancelling quite a few events for Kevin. But it has obviously paid off now. It was one hell of a risk to cancel events at Christmas. I had a fully-booked Christmas before taking Kevin on.

''It was a massive gamble. I had two huge opportunities; to even get a response from a place like Noma is ridiculous, but to then be chosen and told your start date is here, it was overwhelming; then to get this call from City to tell me a player wanted my help. What's happening since has just been mad,'' Marsh told Sportsmail.

He said: “People fail to understand that a lot of baby daddies are better fathers than a lot of husbands. The kind of role I play in my children’s life, I don’t think some husbands do that. I have time for my children, I love my children but some married men don’t even have time for their kids. They don’t show their kids love, they don’t know what it means to be a father. It doesn’t have anything to do with money; it’s about love and attention. Even my daughter sometimes wonders why I make babies if I was not ready to get married yet but I tell her that if I don’t make babies then she won’t be born. “My life is in stages, I don’t think I want to get married now. It is not something I would want to venture into for now.”

Timaya has three kids. Two of them are girls from his first baby mama, Barbara, while his son is from his second baby mama in the US, identified as Tama.

- A Canada-based Ghanaian pastor, Martin Kofi Danso, has made headlines

- According to reports the self-proclaimed prophet was dragged to court for getting a congregant pregnant

- This is coming up two years after members gifted the pastor a private jet as his birthday present

What would Jesus do is the right question to ask when one starts losing faith in religion due to the actions a man who is suppose to lead members to Christ. Canada-based Ghanaian pastor, Martin Kofi Danso has many Christians asking questions after it was revealed he put a member of his church in the family way.

The self-proclaimed prophet was gifted a private jet by his members as a birthday gift in 2016. All that pampering and the 'man of God' has disappointed the ones who revere him the most.

According to reports, a DNA test confirmed that Pastor Kofi in fact put a congregant in the family way which yielded a son who is now 6-month-old. Danso attempted to conceal the grave sin and requested that Ontario Superior Court Justice, Fred Myers, extend a publication ban and sealing order on a court file related to allegations that he fathered a child with former congregant Chris-Ann Bartley.

Senate president, Bukola Saraki has revealed that he is considering running for the presidency in 2019 against the likely candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), President Muhammadu Buhari.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Saraki who recently defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) expressed confidence that he can make the change the country needs.

Below are nine important things he said during the interview:

1. I believe I can make the change

2. If a government can go and lock up an arm of government -- and it’s never happened in our history -- we should all be very concerned; We should not be surprised that they would use security agencies for elections

3. Most of the inflows that have come in are merely hot money, and that is because the oil price has gone up. Investment in the real sector is not seen. The private sector, in my view, has probably taken a position that the confidence is not there in the government. The country requires a government that is truly pro-business, and a president that sees himself as a chief marketing officer

4. There has been a persistent disregard for due process and a lack of neutrality for some of these issues. For you to have credible elections, you must have safe elections. Security agencies are actively getting involved in the politics

5. The fundamentals of whatever we are going to develop is going to be based on sound democracy, credible elections, freedom of choice of Nigerians. If we don’t have that as a foundation, then everything else cannot happen

6. If we are going to have a subsidy, we should have a budget for it. Because once we have a budget for it, the private sector can also play a role in the importation of petroleum products. And if the private sector plays a role, definitely the cost of the subsidy will go down and there will be more efficiency in the delivery of products. But in the environment we are in today, where it’s only the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. that’s doing that, it’s going to be inefficient, it’s not going to be transparent

7. The PDP has learnt its lesson from the loss in 2015, and I think unfortunately the APC did not learn from their victory

8. While negotiating with the PDP “we listed a number of issues. We talked about how to sustain and improve the fight against corruption; the issue of providing more powers to the states; inclusion and having a more nationalistic approach on things we do; to continue to improve the environment that will ensure investments. We listed a number of items during the discussions with the PDP, and there is a written agreement to that. We trust that we can hold them to that

9. We would ensure that the party is strong on security. The APC too have not done well on the issue of security. We have the opportunity with the right kind of presidential candidate and president to provide the leadership for the party. The party has a good opportunity to lead the country in the right direction

- Nigerians have reacted to Senate president Bukola Saraki's plan to contest against President Buhari in 2019

- Saraki told Bloomberg that he's considering running for the highest political office in the country

- He would be running against the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, if he wins the PDP's primary ticket

Mixed reactions have continued to trail the Senate president Bukola Saraki's plan to run against President Muhammadu Buhari during the 2019 general elections.

NAIJ.com reported that Saraki, who recently defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to his former party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), told Bloomberg that he was considering running against President Buhari in 2019.

It was gathered that while some Nigerians could not hide their grievances over Saraki's intention to run against President Buhari in 2019, others believe it is his constitutional rights to contest for any post in Nigeria, including that of president.

In his comment, a Facebook user, Nofiu Adio Olalekan, who said he knew from the outset that Saraki would run against Buhari in 2019, added that the Senate president could not stop the president re-election next year.

He said: "I Knew this from outset, that is why he used to look Baba Buhari anyhow on many occasion, either u like it or not Buhari till 2023."

Another Facebook user, Omolola Gbenga, said: "Saraki is the best for the job, but for PDP to win they should give it to Hausa man from either northwest or northeast because they would not vote for Saraki. But Saraki is the best candidate for president."

Ikolo Ola, another Facebook user, challenged Saraki to mention any change he made in his Kwara state as the governor for eight years and the Senate president for three years.

"The change you couldn't make in your 8 yrs as Kwara governor in the state 3yrs as a Senete president. My advice: people pushing you are automatically leading you to your early grave wake up", he said.

Tunji Davies said: "That will be very interesting as all of them will know their electoral values against Buhari. I am loving it as many overrated politicians will know their real worth next year at the polls.

Prince Cool Adewodu remarked: "That is finally end of road for Saraki and PDP, parties of satanic looters group

In his reaction, Moses Ejah, said: "Uncle Saraki....wait wait I say wait.We know you are smart but you contest against Buhari you will fail and lose your Senate seat... we like you in Senate till Baba finishes another 4yrs."

Kenechukwu Victor said: "Obviously he has the support of north central, south-south and south-east. The southern parts of northwest likes him, southern part of northeast likes him. Na only west dey stubborn."

Owolabi Muyiwa Alexander reacted: "Trouble is on the way, if it happen to be. Can this guy tell us what he has done and done perfectly for his years in PDP before crossing to APC. Buhari might not be too good but this guy I don't trust him."

In his comment, another Facebook user, Adesuyi Oluwaseun Opeyemi, said: "I am not interested in the 2019 elections because, I am very sure Buhari will win, only if he contests. I am only interested in PDP primaries and how PDP would be shared or scattered after the primaries, by those selfish gangs.

"I am watching out for these teams: Obasanjo Vs Atiku, Obasanjo Vs Fayose, Atiku Vs Saraki, Saraki Vs Tambuwa and others. There will always be part 2."

Louis Chieke said: "If PDP gives Saraki presidential ticket, believe me, their will be more defection from APC to PDP."

In his tweet, Mr A @abumunara described Saraki's plan to contest against Buhari as infantite. He tweeted: "Infantile running. President of Kwara central."

Senate president, Bukola Saraki, is said to be considering to run against President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 general elections.

According to Bloomberg, Saraki said in an interview at his residence in Abuja: "I am consulting and actively considering it. I believe I can make the change.

“The PDP has learnt its lesson from the loss in 2015, and I think unfortunately the APC did not learn from their victory."

About 28 ministers allegedly attended the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo at the Council Chamber, Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday, August 15.

According to Vanguard, the unprecedented number of ministers at the FEC meeting may not be unconnected to the ‘no-nonsense’ stance of the acting president since he took over the realm of leadership from President Muhammadu Buhari who is on a 10-working day vacation in London, United Kingdom.
