The current incumbent sums up just how hard it is to take the reins at one of the world's most demanding sporting institutions.

What Ronaldo really needs to overtake Pele

The star's agent Jorge Mendes claimed he was 68 goals short of O Rei's professional record, but if friendlies are included the number is unreachable

Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes is rarely shy when it comes to extolling the virtues of his elite clients. It is part of the job, of course, and one of the reasons that stars like Cristiano Ronaldo continue to place their trust in the wily businessman to take care of their affairs.

Last week, however, Mendes made a fairly startling assertion that immediately sparked widespread debate. At its heart was Ronaldo, fresh from adding to his already impressive goal tally for the Portugal national team with a landmark strike, and none other than Pele, owner of the biggest – and, for many, most contentious – scoring record in professional football.

Kanye West once considered quitting rap and even confided in his pastor about it.

In a new interview, Kanye West's pastor, Adam Tyson, told Christian media outlet Apologia Studios that Kanye was done with rap because the rapper considered the genre to be "the devil's music."

Tyson said: "One time, he told me that he wasn't going to rap. I said, 'Why not?' He said, 'That's the devil's music.' I said, 'Hey, man. Rap is a genre. You can rap for God.' I think he was already thinking about it a little bit, but I definitely said, 'Hey, bro. I think you need to use your talents that God's given you and use that platform for God.'"

Kanye started attending Tyson's church, Placerita Bible Church in California, back in May. Tyson says Kanye reached out to speak with him.

After two years of living together with a man as wife, popular Yoruba actress, Bose Oladimeji, says she’s had just about enough and walking out fast. Her reason is none other than domestic abuse, which she says has become not only brutally violent but life-threatening as well.

I can’t just allow someone to kill me like that and I want to address some ladies out there that they should not love a guy because of what he gives them. They should be sure the love is genuine and not be fooled by money and comfort. I’m leaving right now, I need to run away for my life. I need to save myself. My life will be in danger if I continue to stay with him, so I’m leaving right now," she said in a chat with Potpourri.
