Yobo and Odemwingie back in Nigeria squad



JOSEPH YOBO IN ACTION

Nigeria's Joseph Yobo (L) is challenged by Burkina Faso's Jonathan Pitroipa (R) during their African Nations Cup (AFCON 2013) Group C soccer match in Nelspruit, January 21, 2013.
Norwich City defender Joseph Yobo, who has not played for the national team for over a year, and in-form Stoke City striker Peter Odemwingie were both included in Nigeria's preliminary World Cup squad on Tuesday.
Odemwingie fell out with coach Stephen Okechukwu Keshi after being left out from last year's African Nations Cup but his inclusion in Tuesday's squad suggested the duo had patched up their differences.
Ike Uche's acrobatic goal celebrations, however, will not be seen in Brazil after the Villarreal striker failed to make Keshi's 30-man shortlist for the finals.


Keshi said the final 23-man list will be announced on June 2.
Nigeria are expected to play a friendly against Scotland later this month before travelling to the United States to complete their final preparations for the June 12-July 13 tournament.
Nigeria will play Argentina, Bosnia and Iran in Group F during the World Cup.
Squad:
Goalkeepers - Vincent Enyeama, Austin Ejide, Chigozie Agbim, Daniel Akpeyi
Defenders - Elderson Echiejile, Juwon Oshaniwa, Godfrey Oboabona, Azubuike Egwuekwe, Kenneth Omeruo, Joseph Yobo, Kunle Odunlami, Efe Ambrose
Midfielders - John Mikel Obi, Ogenyi Onazi, Ramon Azeez, Joel Obi, Nosa Igiebor, Michael Uchebo, Ejike Uzoenyi, Sunday Mba, Reuben Gabriel
Forwards - Ahmed Musa, Shola Ameobi, Emmanuel Emenike, Obinna Nsofor, Osaze Odemwingie, Babatunde Michael, Victor Moses, Uche Nwofor, Nnamdi Oduamadi

Take your time to read this... It’s worth understanding the root cause of body odor in order to make an effort to improve the issue at the source. Some common causes of body odor can include stress, illness and eating certain foods. Let’s examine some of the other complex biological mechanisms behind B.O. First things first, where does sweat come from? Science tells us that there are actually two different kinds of sweat. Regular sweat come from the eccrine glands, which are located all over the body and open directly onto the skin. If you are in hot conditions or are physically exerting yourself, your body temperature will rise. The eccrine glands are stimulated and release perspiration, which is mostly made up of water and salt. This basic type of sweat is virtually odorless and is used as a simple mechanism to cool down the body through evaporation. The sweat that causes odor is a separate type. It comes from the apocrine glands, which are located near hair follicles...
