Barcelona right-back Dani Alves eats banana thrown onto pitch during La Liga match

Barcelona defender Dani Alves responded to a racist taunt when a banana landed at his feet during Sunday’s game at Villarreal by picking up the fruit, peeling and then eating it before proceeding to take a corner kick.
Alves said after the match that humour is the best way to combat racism in sports.
“We have suffered this in Spain for some time,” Alves said. “You have to take it with a dose of humour. We aren’t going to change things easily.
“If you don’t give it importance, they don’t achieve their objective.”
Alves had already played a key part in sparking the team’s 3-2 comeback when his off-target shot was turned into an own goal Gabriel Armando in the 65th.
And shortly after the banana incident, Alves launched a cross that Mateo Musacchio headed into his own goal in the 78th before Lionel Messi scored Barcelona’s winner.
The win kept Barcelona four points from league leader Atletico Madrid.
Alves has often been subjected to racist taunts and called fighting racism “a lost war” in January 2013, after segments of Real Madrid’s fans abused him with monkey chants during a match.

When asked by Nigerian Tribune if Nigerian men are romantic ..Toke said ‘
“I think they could do with a little bit of help, but on the average they try. People need to understand that being romantic doesn’t equate with money, you don’t have to spend money to be romantic. Nigerian men believe that in other to be romantic, money has to be involved or maybe it is the women that make them feel that way, but I think romance is all about the little things and the joy that they bring.

A God-fearing guy, a guy that is fun, someone with a kind heart, just like the guy I married
