Since Nigerians are in the habit of supporting, promoting and voting defective and dysfunctional people into elective positions, as recommended by covetous political elites, I will say Kinslay Moghalu will not win, unless the electorates change their mind sets.

And how exactly is he showing face only during general elections? Last I checked, we'restill in 2021 and general elections are in 2 years time. As things stand now, only 2 individuals have declared interest to contest for the presidency; Moghalu and Yahaya Bello.

The only reason people like this cannot be president is because Nigerians unknowingly have an affinity for voting rogues who declare interest 2 months to election. During elections, we somehow find a way to create funny excuses (such as the ones you've given above) why we should stick with the Atikus and Tinubus. Prime examples of excuses we give are:
(1) He cant gather up to 1 million votes, so I'd rather give my 1-vote to an Atiku or Tinubu who have real chances of winning.
(2) He doesnt have political pedigree; meanwhile in the Nigerian sphere, Political Pedigree = Rogue = Thief = Thug = Atikus = Tinubus
honestly this bad mentality of prefering criminal minded people who can bribe their way in the primaries and who have an army of thugs to santch ballot boxes ...this mentality is the real problem of nigeria

What makes Moghalu a good leader, where has he governed? What industry has Moghalu lead?

He might be well spoken and well educated, but Nigeria politics is designed for a skilled political operator who can manipulate their career beyond Deputy Governor of CBN.

Moghalu will make a brilliant Economic Minister.
what you have to do is to do some little research but alas you have because you think he will make a good financial minister but under a thief like buhari and tinubu....but is it possible to do a good job under thieves

I doubt if you have been following him enough to hear his thoughts and views on the issues you raised.

He is solidly behind restructuring even in his first run and has been repeating it since 2015.

It is unfair to make hasty and uniformed comments on such a man.

Abaribe knows this man too well to have endorsed him even with him not in PDP.

While I commend Enyinnaya Abaribe for showing his support for Kingsley Moghalu, I really don't think Moghalu has that political pedigree to pull off a surprise to rake in One million votes in total.



I am not trying to discourage anyone who have the intentions of voting for this fine young man, but you don't just gain political pedigree by appearing and disappearing at every General elections...

Though I prefer him more than the two-faced snitch called Sowore who's currently roaming the streets of Abuja with accute madness.
Yes i completely agree with you!!

he doesnt have the pedigree of the so-called heavy weights who we all know are corrupt and without any moral compass.

seriously do you not have hope that a good man like him should run until he wins?


do you still not know that atiku, tinubu, orji uzor kalu and the kano governor are in the same whatsapp group of stealing and corruption and wickedness

SportsRe: Remembering Nigeria’s AFCON 1994 Super Squad by 49cents(m): 7:01pm On Jun 17, 2021
milann:
The Nigeria national football squad at Tunisia 1994
Africa Cup of Nations Cup (AFCON) tournament
paraded some notable names that made the squad
a fearsome proposition and are arguably the best
Eagles squad in the nation’s footballing history.
The team came into the 1994 AFCON tournament
as one of the three favourites for the title, which
they ended up winning.
This was after their first triumph in 1980.
Though hampered by the baggage of emerging as
runners-up in I984 and 88, coach Clemence
Westerhof was determined to end Nigeria’s long
search for her second AFCON title and it was a
perfect timing.
Grouped alongside Egypt and Gabon in group B, the
golden generation approached the competition with
caution, but the team began their campaign on a
bright note as they dismissed Gabon 3-0 in the
opener with two goals coming from the late Rashidi
Yekini and Mutiu Adepoju.
Their second game was a goalless draw against
Egypt to book a place in the knockout stages.

Zaire were not an easy opponent in the second
round but Yekini’s brace took Nigeria into the semi-
final to face arch-rivals, Ivory Coast.
In what was a pulsating encounter that swung back
and forth, the Eagles triumphed on penalties after
the 90 minutes and extra time ended 2-2.
It was one man against the world as Zambia earned
the sympathy of the football’s global family after its
first team perished on the coast of Gabon during
World Cup qualifiers.

The Chipolopolo drew the first blood through Elijah
Litana but like a rejected stone turned the corner
piece of the building, Emmanuel Amuneke scored
twice to ensure Nigeria smiled home with the
trophy.
Alloy Agu may have watched from the bench, but he
described the tournament as one of the best
moments in his career.
He told PREMIUM TIMES that team spirit and hard
work were key to Nigeria’s success in Tunisia.
“It was a moment I will never forget as a footballer.
Yes, we came into the tournament as favourites, but
it took hard work and team spirit to win in Tunisia.
“We were one happy family, and it was a time when
Nigerian players were getting to the peak. It gave us
the confidence to embrace our career with much
optimism, and that was exactly what happened at
the World Cup,” he added.
The 23-man squad
Goalkeepers: Peter Rufai, Wilfred Agbonavbare,
Alloy Agu
Defenders: Stephen Keshi, Austin Eguavoen, Uche
Okafor, Uche Okechukwu, Isaac Semitoje, Ben Iroha,
Nduka Ugbade
Midfielders: Sunday Oliseh, Mutiu Adepoju, Edema
Fuludu, Thompson Oliha, Austin Okocha, Efan Ekoku
Forwards: Rashidi Yekini, Samson Siasia, Daniel
Amokachi, Emmanuel Amuneke, Victor Ikpeba,
Finidi George

Where are they now?
Peter Rufai
Regarded as one of the best goalkeepers to man
the post for the senior national team.
https://i2.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2020/10/Peter-Rufai-Sports-Village-Square.jpg
We remember him for his panache and near-perfect
reflexes that astounded opposition teams.
Rufai was the Eagles’ No.1 in Tunisia 94. His
ability to organise his defenders and bail them out
in any danger makes him arguably Nigeria’s best
ever goalkeeper.
The former Stationery Stores and Femo Scorpions
goalkeeper also played for Dragon FC of Benin,
Lokeren, Beveren (in Belgium). He also had a
successful career at Farense (Portugal), Hercules,
and Deportivo La Coruna in Spain.
Rufai who jettisoned a chance to be crowned as
King of Idimu kingdom currently shuttles between
Lagos and Spain.
Once an ambassador of Remita, he runs youth
football clinics in Lagos.
Wilfred Agbonavbare (Late)
He was tipped to be No.1 despite his healthy rivalry
with Alloy Agu in the qualifiers, but after weeks of
training camp in Papendal and Amsterdam, Holland,
he dropped to third in the pecking order of
goalkeepers.
https://i2.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2021/06/Wilfred-Agbonavbare-1.jpg
It was an enormous setback for the former Rayo
Vallecano goalkeepers as Rufai rediscovered his
mojo to claim the No.1 jersey.
He watched from the bench as Rufai got better with
matches. Agbonavbare suffered one of the worst
racist abuse in Spain after his penalty save denied
Real Madrid the chance of beating Barcelona to the
title in 1992.
Madrid fans chanted racist slurs like, “Negro
cabron, recoge al algodon” meaning “black bastard,
pick the cotton!”
Agbonavbare retired at the early age of 31 and
resettled in Madrid, and worked as a baggage and
cargo handler at Barajas airport, Madrid.
He also had a brief stint as a goalkeeper trainer. He
lost his wife to cancer in 2012 and died of a similar
disease in 2015.
Alloy Agu
He was the second goalkeeper in the 1994 squad
that Clemence Westerhof listed for the 2006 African
Cup of Nations in Tunisia.
https://i0.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2020/06/Alloy-Agu-credit-Brila.net-jpg.jpg
He was one of the first Nigerian goalkeepers to
feature in the Dutch Eredivisie before calling it quits
with active football. Agu is currently under the
payroll of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) as
Super Eagles’ goalkeeper trainer.
Austin Eguavoen
Converted from a midfielder into a full-back,
‘Cerezo’ was a dominant part of the back-four that
took the Eagles to the 1994 AFCON title.
https://i1.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2021/06/Untitled-80.png
He combined well with the late Uche Okafor, Uche
Okechukwu, and Ben Iroha to keep opposing
strikers at bay. Westerhof handed him the
responsibility of leading the Eagles in the finals
after injury ruled out skipper Stephen Keshi.
He worked as Super Eagles manager at Egypt 2006
AFCON where Nigeria settled for Bronze. He
currently works with the NFF as a member of the
technical committee.
Ben Iroha
He was the preferred choice ahead of Nduka
Ugbade, given the embarrassment of talents at
Westerhof’s disposal, and he justified his inclusion
in the squad with his ability to combine his
defensive and attacking instinct.
https://i0.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2018/03/Ben-Iroha.jpg
His one-two pass gave Nigeria an early lead against
Cote d’Ivoire in the semi-finals and kept a
watertight defence to ensure Nigeria overran the
stubborn Zambians in the finals.
Iroha had an unsuccessful stint overseas and retired
in 2000. He was an assistant coach when Nigeria
won THE 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup in South Korea
and was once on the payroll of Heartland and
Dolphins. He currently lives in the US.
Uche Okechukwu
The ‘Gentle Giant’ will be forever remembered as
the towering presence behind Nigeria’s successful
stint at Tunisia 94.
https://i1.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2021/06/uche-okechukwu_32010m1uogca1go1awni69j6i.jpg
The former Brondby and Fenerbahce centre-back
also featured for Ocean Boys and Bayelsa United
after a successful stint in Europe.
Uche retired from active football at 41 and neither
embraced coaching nor featured in club eventsb]
because of his shyness. He is currently based in
Owerri running his business.
Stephen Keshi
The ‘Big Boss’ is one of the best centre-backs
Africa has ever produced.
Although late Keshi got injured weeks into the
tournament, coach Westerhof opted to pick him
because he was an inspirational captain of the
squad.
He was seen whispering and charging his
teammates to go to this kill as Nigeria went to win
her second AFCON in Tunisia.
https://i2.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2021/06/stephen-keshi-immemoriam_1jd09ugnxhb491w61hrgbyim6e-2.jpg
With a successful career in Belgium, Ivory Coast,
and France, Keshi retired from active football
following a nagging ankle injury and embraced
coaching. He was in charge when flying Eagles
Eagles crashed out of African Youth Championship
in Ethiopia but he was part of the Eagles coaching
crew that qualified Nigeria for the 2002 Korea-Japan
World Cup.
Keshi also qualified Togo for her first World Cup
and handled the Eagles of Mali before returning to
tinker Nigeria to the 2013 AFCON title in South
Africa before leading the Eagles to the 2014 FIFA
World Cup in Brazil.
Keshi died of cardiac arrest on June 7, 2016, in
Benin City.
Isaac Semitoje
The former Super Eagles and Iwuanyanwu sweeper
sat on the bench through the tournament, given the
pedigree of other defenders in the team.
https://i0.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2021/06/Isaac_Semitoje.jpg
Westerhof dropped him from the USA 94 squad.
Semitoje is currently based in Benin and he is into
personal business.
Nduka Ugbade
Popularly known as Sao Paulo by his Eagles
teammates, the former U-17 skipper also watched
from the bench as Nigeria emerged as African
champions after beating Zambia 2-1 in the finals.
https://i2.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2020/12/Nduka-Ugbade-after-leading-Nigeria-to-win-the-1985-U-16-World-Cup-1-e1607171594102.jpg
He had a short stint in Israel and retired from active
football because of injury. Ugbade enjoyed a
successful spell as a youth coach after he assisted
Garba Manu to U-17 World Cup glory in 2013.
He currently handles the NNL side, Giants Brillas.
Austin Okocha
This mercurial midfielder was one of the best
playmakers Nigeria ever produced.
https://i0.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2021/06/jay-jay-okocha-of-nigeria_1dvzcjgsl1wxm1fuw0bhh416ls.jpg

He gave the world a slice of his talents in Tunisia
94 and combined well with Sunday Oliseh to propel
Nigeria to her second AFCON glory.
Jay-jay played for PSG, Fenerbahce Bolton
Wanderers, and retired too early according to his
teeming fans.
He went into business after retirement. Okocha is
the brand ambassador for a long list of companies.
Mutiu Adepoju
The ‘Headmaster’ was part of the squad in Tunisia
and he was on the score sheet in Nigeria 3-0 win
over Gabon in the group opening match.
https://i0.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2021/06/mutiu-adepoju-of-nigeria_17qt8rcz2e86k151cejsiemc8y.jpg
Mutiu Adepoju [PHOTO CREDIT: Goal.com]
The former 3SC team manager spent most of his
career in Spain, where he scored 22 goals from 175
matches. He is the current Spanish La Liga
ambassador in Nigeria and also manages his
personal businesses.
Efan Ekoku
Ekoku featured in Nigeria’s 2-0 win over Zaire in
the quarter-final of Tunisia 94 World Cup and had to
be replaced when he struggled to have a single
shot at goal.
https://i0.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2021/06/134352_gallery.jpg
Efan Ekoku [PHOTO CREDIT: Goal.com]
The former Norwich and Bournemouth striker once
worked as a commentator for Premier League
production. He is based in the UK and works as a
soccer pundit.
Edema Fuludu
A fringe member of the Tunisia 1994 AFCON
winning team, Edema was respected for his hard
work and business-like approach to matches.
https://i1.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2021/06/EDEMA-FULUDU-35f2gt8ix9yg7ou18l6n7k.jpg
Edema Fuludu
The former Julius Berger star played his last active
game for Turkish side Always SK before retiring
from football.
He lives in Delta and is actively involved in politics.
Thompson Oliha (Late)
He was known as the team warhorse for his tireless
play.
[
Thompson Oliha
He came as the best replacement for Moses
Kpakor, who quit the scene because of a career-
ending injury. Whenever Westerhof saw danger from
the opposition, he deployed Oliha to keep such a
player at bay.
https://i2.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2021/06/thompson-oliha-ae258b90-6530-4566-a38c-de620dc401f-resize-750.jpeg
Oliha was Westerhof’s beloved player because of
his work rate and dedication. Oliha worked with the
Kwara football academy before his death in 2013.



Daniel Amokachi
‘Da Bull’ was a key member of the winning side,
and his tenacity and work rate played a huge role in
ensuring that Nigeria emerged champions in Tunisia
and he featured in two AFCON and World Cup
tournaments.
https://i0.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2021/06/daniel-amokachi_13a8t4v1kifio12ksvla08dm36.jpg

Amokachi won the English FA Cup with Everton
under manager Joe Royle and joined Besiktas in
Turkey and tinkered Nasarawa FC and was the
assistant coach to late Stephen Keshi as Nigeria
won her third AFCON in 2013.
Amokachi is currently the special adviser on sports
to President Muhammadu Buhari. He is also an
ambassador for a couple of brands.
Emmanuel Amuneke
Amuneke scored Nigeria’s two goals in the finals
after Westerhof deliberately confined him to the
bench throughout the group matches and knockout
stages.
https://i2.wp.com/media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2021/06/images-2020-02-13T145738.950.jpeg
Emmanuel Amuneke
He took the pressure off top players like Keshi
before the “Dutchgerian” threw the former Zamalek
winger into the fray. He justified his inclusion by
ensuring Nigeria rallied back from a goal down and
later scored the winning goal.
He retired from active football after a brief stint at
GC Barca.
Amuneke had a successful career in coaching after
he led Nigeria U-17 to a World Cup triumph in
2015.
He ensured Tanzania qualified for its first AFCON in
Egypt in 2019, and he is the current youth coach at
Misr Lel Makassa in Egypt.
Finidi George
The former Ajax winger was one of the finest
wingers that emerged from the tournament.
Although he had a quiet tourney, his contribution
cannot be overlooked.
