RONALDO CROWNED FIFA'S BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD

The Real Madrid superstar enjoyed a staggering 2016 and has now been awarded the title of the best player in the world, beating Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann
Cristiano Ronaldo has been crowned the world’s best player at FIFA’s annual awards gala in Zurich.

The Real Madrid superstar enjoyed a fantastic 2016, and has now beaten his perennial rival Lionel Messi and Atletico Madrid’s Antoine Griezmann to the prize.

"It's a great feeling, as I mentioned many times last year was a dream year, no doubt about that," the striker said at the ceremony shortly before receiving the prize.

"Real Madrid win the Champions League and the national team won the Euros for the first time in history. Unbelievable season. I'm so proud and happy.

"I have to say thank you to my team-mates of Real Madrid, and team-mates of Portugal and the coaches. It was an amazing year."
Ronaldo scored a total of 59 goals for both club and country throughout the 12 months, as his career reached new heights.

The Portugal international, despite suffering an injury in the final, guided his country to Euro 2016 glory, scoring three goals and cajoling his team-mates from the sidelines after being stretchered off.

Eder’s late goal ensured that Ronaldo lifted the trophy in France, with Griezmann – the player to outscore him in the tournament - on the losing side in the showpiece.

Ronaldo also scored the winning penalty in the Champions League final, as Real defeated Griezmann’s Atletico at San Siro in Milan, and was rewarded with a staggering new deal until 2021.
The 31-year-old’s incredible year – which also saw him named the world’s highest paid sports star – was capped in December, when he was awarded his fourth Ballon d’Or award.

While Messi, the man who has forever threatened to overshadow Ronaldo during an era of individual footballing dominance, scored a sensational 55 goals throughout 2016, he was topped by four goals by Ronaldo, though he did guide Barcelona to La Liga glory.

Ronaldo was recently linked with a mind-boggling move to China, with a £257 million bid mooted, but the former Manchester United star appears set to continue his battle for supremacy with Messi and Griezmann in La Liga.

Vitu vya kushangaza vilivyopewa jina la Barack Obama

Rais Barack Obama anapojiandaa kustaafu nchini Marekani wiki ijayo, kuna vitu vya kawaida kama vile maktaba, barabara na shule ambavyo vimepewa jina lake kama heshima kwake.

Kutakuwa na Maktaba ya Rais Barack Obama mjini Chicago. Aidha, kuna shule nyingi zilizopewa jina la kiongozi huyo wa kwanza Mwamerika Mweusi nchini humo.
Lakini kando na hayo, kuna vitu vingi ambavyo huwezi kutarajia vilivyopewa jina lake vikiwemo vimelea na buibui.

Kimelea

Mnyoo ambao kwa kisayansi hufahamika kama Baracktrema obamai ndio kimelea cha pili kupewa jina la Obama.
Mnyoo huu ambao ni mrefu na unafanana na uzi huambukiza kasa wa maji yasiyo na chumi Malaysia na unaweza kuua.

"Hili ni jambo bila shaka, ingawa ndogo tu, ambalo tumefanya kwa heshima ya rais wetu," anasema Dkt Thomas R Platt, mtaalamu wa vimelea wa kasa ambaye aligundua aina hiyo ya mnyoo.
Anasema ni jamaa wa Bw Obama, kwa mbali.

Watafiti wamewahi kuupa mnyoo unaopatikana nchini Kenya jina
Paragordius obamai. Mnyoo huo uligunduliwa karibu na nyumbani kwa rais wa Obama.

Samaki

Kama sehemu ya kutoa heshima kwa Bw Obama kwa juhudi zake za uhifadhi wa viumbe wa baharini katika bahari ya Pasifiki, wanasayansi walimpa samaki mmoja anayepatikana eneo la Kure Atoll katika hifadhi ya Papahānaumokuākea, pwani ya Hawaii jina la rais huyo. Samaki huyo ana rangi ya damu ya mzee na rangi ya dhahabu.

Mwaka 2012, watafiti walimpa jina Etheostoma Obama samaki mwingine wa rangi ya samawati na manjano. Samaki huyo hupatikana katika mito ya Duck na Buffalo inayotoa maji yake kutoka kwa mto Tennessee.

Mjusi

Mjusi wa urefu wa futi moja na aliyekuwa na meno yaliyosimama wima alipewa jina Obamadon, kutokana na tabasamu la Rais Obama. Mjusi huyo aliangamia.

Mlima

Bw Obama ni miongoni mwa marais wa Marekani ambao wana milima iliyopewa majina yao. Taifa la Antigua lilibadili jina la mlima mrefu zaidi nchini humo, mlima wa Boggy kuwa Mlima Obama siku yake ya kuzaliwa mwaka 2009.

Kuvu

Mwaka 2007, watafiti walizipa kuvu (ukungu wa miti na miamba) jina
Caloplaca obamae, Bw Obama alipoanza kufanya kampeni yake ya urais. Walichukua hatua hiyo kwa sababu ya Bw Obama kuunga mkono masomo ya sayansi.

Kituo cha mafuta

Kijiji cha Moneygall katika eneo la Offaly, katikati mwa Dublin na Limerick nchini Ireland, kuna kituo cha mafuta ambacho kilipewa jina la rais huyo wa Marekani.
Katika Barack Obama Plaza kuna kituo cha mafuta, mgahawa na kituo cha wageni ambacho hutoa habari kuhusu uhusiano wa Bw Obama na Moneygall.
Kijiji cha Moneygall ndicho asili ya babake babu wa babu wa Rais Barack Obama

Mkate

Kabla ya Rais Obama kuzuru Ireland, waokaji wa mikate walikimbia kuoka mikate maalum.
Mkazi wa Moneygall Joseph Kearney aliwasilisha mikate maalum kwa watu wa jamaa za Bw Obama nchini Ireland waliokuwa wakijiandaa kwa ziara ya O'Bama.

Ndege

Kuna ndege anayepatikana Amazon magharibi ambaye amepewa jina Nystalus obamai.

Shule Kenya

Katika kijiji cha Kogelo, alikozaliwa babake Obama, kuna shule mbili, Senator Obama Kogelo Primary School na Senator Obama Kogelo Secondary School.
Zilipewa majina hayo Obama alipokuwa seneta wa Illinois.

Buibui

Kuna buibui kwa jina, Aptostichus barackobamaiwa aina ya trapdoor, ambao wamepewa jina hilo kutokana na Rais Obama, ambaye ni shabiki waSpider-Man.

Aina hao wa buibui hupatikana California, na ni miongoni mwa buibui 40 wa familia ya Aptostichus.
Wengine huitwa Aptostichus stephencolberti (kutokana na mchekeshaji Stephen Colbert) na
Aptostichus angelinajolieae (kutokana na mwigizaji Angelina Jolie).
