Unofficial, Unscientific Ranking of the 2014 World Cup Kits. Where do you Think Nigeria's Kit Lies in the Ranking?

When the 2014 World Cup in Brazil kicks off on June 12, we'll be treated to one month of the world's best and most exciting football. But sports nerds of a certain stripe are also in for an added bonus: World Cup uniforms ("kits" in football parlance), which by many estimations represent the coolest gear the entire sports world has to offer.

The World Cup of style is dominated by football’s big-boy brands: Nike sponsors 10 of the World Cup's 32 teams; Adidas sponsors nine; Puma sponsors eight; Burrda, Marathon, Uhlsport, Joma and Lotto sponsor one apiece. But each company is busting out the best it has to offer for the millions of football fans (and apparel consumers) who will tune into the World Cup from points around the globe this summer.
We've been nerding out over World Cup kits all spring, so now it's time to gather them all together in one place. What follows is our very unscientific ranking of all 32 outfits (Okay, 31; Bosnia and Herzegovina isn't expected to officially release its duds until early June) as done by Mashable.com. We've ordered them from here from snazziest to meh-iest.
Check them out, and then tell me  in the comments section below.

which are your favourites and what position you think Nigeria's kit should have been ranked.

Is Don Jazzy the King of Social Media or What? Hot on the Heels of Doro Bucci, Another Track - Adaobi is About to be Born on Instagram

It started out like a joke while Don Jazzy was away in Dubai for Tiwa and Tee Bills’ wedding. He posted a video of himself on Instagram singing the chorus to Doro Bucci and the whole of Instagram went berserk with his fans home and abroad uploading videos of themselves doing their rendition to the Doro Bucci song. The rest is history as they say, for we now have two tracks born out of that skit and they are both hott.

Today, the new track baking in the oven is called Adaobi and it is coming out following pretty much the same master-script: Don Jazzy yesterday uploaded a video on his Instagram page and explained that a friend of his called Adaobi came to visit him at the Mavin Headquarters and requested that he “make a jam with her name” he obviously decided to oblige her and the video was a prelude of the track as he promised that the full jam is coming soon.

Fast-forward just one day and there is already a promo pic for the track with the caption “food is almost ready”.

What do you think about this absolutely ingenious method that the Mavin Boss has adopted to introduce his new artistes to us the listening public?

This 17-Year-Old Nigerian-American's Academic Achievements Show That You Should Never Judge a Book by its Cover

Akintunde Ahmad, a senior at Oakland Tech in Oakland California, USA, has achieved a 5.0 GPA and 2,100 in the SAT. As a result of the achievements, he has his choice of attending Yale, Brown, Columbia or a slew of other prestigious universities but the people he meets don't believe him thanks to the clothes he wears and dreadlocks he sports so he has to carry around proof of his 5.0 GPA and sky high SAT score because he looks like a 'street dude.'

“People looking at me funny is so common that it doesn’t stick out for me anymore, it’s something that I’ve gotten used to.” Says Ahmad
