See Reason Why Wijnaldum Refused To Drink During CL Final Celebrations

The Reds midfielder had his fun at the post-final celebrations - but he was refusing to overdo it

Liverpool's Champions League celebrations were boozy affairs.

From Jurgen Klopp pouring out beer on to the head of Rhian Brewster to Virgil van Dijk sinking a cold one at the post-match press conference, the Reds' contingent made sure they celebrated a sixth European Cup in style.

In fact, Liverpool's desire to party was so strong, Klopp was caught on camera boldly asking: "where is the drinks!?" as he prepared to mark his first Champions League triumph as a manager.

The fun reportedly continued long into the Madrid night as the Reds squad partied at The Eurostars Madrid Tower in the Spanish capital before returning to Merseyside.

And after a 97-point Premier League season ended with the lifting of the biggest prize in club football on Saturday night, who could blame Liverpool 's players for savouring the moment?

Almost to a man, the Reds squad made sure they toasted their achievement as more than 750,000 supporters lined the city streets to cheer on their heroes' homecoming on Sunday afternoon.

However, one player who was refusing to indulge too much was midfielder Gini Wijnaldum.

The Dutch international had his fun atop the bus on Sunday, dropping his phone while attempting to record the sea of red in front of him, much to his own amusement.

Wijnaldum though, was unwilling to let his hair down completely ahead of the Nations League semi-final with England on Thursday night.

While his international colleague Van Dijk was keen to savour a beer or two during the party, Wijnaldum was firmly focused on the clash against Gareth Southgate's Three Lions in Portugal.

AD quote Wijnaldum as saying: "Alcohol is for the holidays, not now. The Nations League is just a great prize to win."

Very sensible, Gini...

Virgil van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum

Wijnaldum will set off on his post-season holidays when the Nations League concludes on Sunday evening.

That well-deserved break will afford him plenty of time to celebrate.

A seasoned administrator and chartered accountant, Francis Oluwagbenro Meshioye, the Olori Oluwo (Supreme Leader) of the Reformed Ogboni Fraternity has said being a member does not stop members from practising religions of their choice. In an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, he explained the fraternity takes its roots from Nigerian culture. On the negative perception of the group and what attracted him, Meshioye said: “I wanted to understand my culture, to know why I am here. Why was I not born in India as a Hindu or in China to embrace their culture and religion?

Meet The Man Who Sold Nigeria To The British For £865k In 1899

This is the story of the first oil war, which was fought in the 19th century, in the area that became Nigeria. All through the 19th century, palm oil was highly sought-after by the British, for use as an industrial lubricant for machinery. Remember that Britain was the world’s first industrialised nation, so they needed resources such as palm oil to maintain that. King Koko Palm oil, of course, is a tropical plant, which is native to the Niger Delta. Malaysia’s dominance came a century later. By 1870, palm oil had replaced slaves as the main export of the Niger Delta, the area which was once known as the Slave Coast. At first, most of the trade in the oil palm was uncoordinated, with natives selling to those who gave them the best deals. Native chiefs such as former slave, Jaja of Opobo became immensely wealthy because of oil palm. With this wealth came influence. However, among the Europeans, there was competition for who would get preferential access to the lucr...
