Manchester City have been handed a severe blow ahead of the Champions League showdown withBarcelona with the news that Sergio Aguero is likely to miss a month with a hamstring injury.
The Argentina striker, who has scored six goals in his last five games since returning from a calf injury he picked up in December’s win over Arsenal, tweaked his hamstring shortly after opening the scoring in Wednesday’s 5-1 thrashing of Tottenham at White Hart Lane.
City, who returned to the top of the Premier League in midweek, are due to face Tata Martino’s side in the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie at the Etihad Stadium on 18 February, with the return fixture at Camp Nou scheduled for 12 March.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini said: "[Samir] Nasri continues treatment. Javi Garcia and Kun Aguero are injured. [The] doctor has seen Aguero and he will be out for a month."
"It will be difficult because he is a top player for us but we have the players to replace him.
"He has just come back from injury and Alvaro Negredo, Stevan Jovetic and Edin Dzeko can replace him."

New Year New Things: Farmer Harvests Potatoes Shaped Like Male Organs
A farmer from Filabusi in Matabeleland South, Zimbabwe is singing the blues after he harvested potatoes shaped like a human male organ which buyers find strange and refuse to buy. The farmer, who only preferred to be identified as Mr Moyo, said he was still in shock about the strange harvest that had hindered his business. “I grew potatoes on one acre and when it was harvest time, three quarters of my potatoes had a funny shape which looked like male private parts. “Buyers are reluctant to purchase my potatoes and now I’m forced to mix then with other potatoes. I cannot sell them separately,” he said. Moyo revealed that he was even ashamed to take his potatoes to the market as he ends up being the joke of the day. “When I go to the market with these potatoes, they laugh at me saying here comes the man of organ potatoes and they refuse to buy them,” he said. Moyo said in all his farming life, he has never seen nor heard of ‘anaconda-shaped’ potatoes. He said he would be engaging experts to get to understand why he harvested such ‘male potatoes’. However, a local agronomist, Mr Lovemore Nyakazela, said there was nothing wrong with shapes ofpotatoes. “The funny shapes of potatoes are usually caused by the variety of the soil. If they are grown on very hard soil or rocky areas then they are likely to have those funny shapes,” he said

#Do you Know - CHAN 2014 Semi-Final: Ghana Vs Nigeria Today At 7:30Pm
Two countries intensely familiar with each other cross swords once more at the semi-final stage of the 2014 CHAN. Who wins?
Traditional rivals Ghana and Nigeria contest an all-west African semi-final at the ongoing African Nations Championships on Wednesday in what promises to be a high-octane thriller.
Nigeria's debut at the CHAN has been somewhat underwhelming, although Stephen Keshi's team have won all but one game, namely, a 2-1 loss to Mali in their Group A opener. In front of goal, the Super Eagles have been absolutely prolific, firing in goals at will. Twice at the tournament, Nigeria have put four past their opponents - the latest coming in a rousing comeback from three goals down against Morocco in the quarter-finals stage - and have racked up a total of 12 strikes.
At the other end, though, Nigeria have disappointed, letting in eight goals and giving little promise of improving in that regard.
It is hard to imagine the Black Stars exploiting Nigeria's defensive frailties, however, if the Ghanaians' own attacking deficiencies are anything to go by.
Ghana, in quest of a second appearance in a CHAN finale, has recorded just a goal in each of their four games in South Africa but have been more than impressive in preventing the opposition from scoring, having conceded only once.
Local Black Stars trainer Maxwell Konadu would be eager to have injured stars Godfred Saka, Kwabena Adusei and Sulley Mohammed return to shore up an already well-knit unit.
With each side's fortes and weaknesses almost perfectly balancing the other's, this could prove no ordinary game between these eternally feuding regional cousins.

Kanye West Pays $250,000(n41m) To The 18year Old He Beat Up
The way God blesses people is unimaginable....really! Report has it that Kanye has paid off The 18year old Guy he Punched.
According to TMZ it's $250( 41 million
naira) and some family members say it was a fraction of what the boy demanded for.
They say this is the reason to why the boy has been uncooperative with the DA's office. He has not answered questions or gone to see them so they
could file a battery charge against Kanye.
If you recall, Kanye beat up the boy after he called Kim a Naughty Lady and nigger lover.
I am sure kids will start insulting Kim just to get money...hehehe Before Nko!

Jonathan seeks death penalty for cyber crime
President Goodluck Jonathan has proposed a death sentence on persons who hack into the Critical National Information Infrastructure or computer networks resulting in the loss of lives.
The proposal is contained in the Cyber Crime Bill 2013, which is before the House of Representatives.
However, where there is no loss of lives but the offender causes “grievous bodily injury” to another person, the bill recommends a prison term of not less than 15 years.
Using any computer network for terrorism purposes also attracts life sentence.
The bill defines Critical National Information Infrastructure as “certain computer systems, networks and information infrastructure vital to the national security of Nigeria or the economy and social well-being of its citizens.”
The bill frowns on child badography, as it imposes a 10-year jail term for offenders or a fine of N20million or both.
The bill criminalises the use of force to engage children in sexual activities.
Offenders are liable to being convicted to10 years imprisonment or a fine of N15m
