Their new Brazilian import starts ahead of him. But good MCI is giving them some whooping anyway. Success smile in bench.

There was pandemonium earlier today at premises of Kwara State High Court in Ilorin during the hearing of a N4 billion libel suit involving the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the founder of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore. According to multiple reports, the comrades, journalists, and supporters of one of the parties involved were allegedly prevented by political thugs from gaining access into the court premises.

The vehicles which conveyed the journalists and others to court were attacked and smashed by the thugs before the intervention of policemen who were on ground.

FIFA under Blatter was very corrupt. Even the 2010 world cup rights given to South Africa was fraught with allegations of bribery.

However under same Blatter, a certain qualifier had also been replayed, so stop this persecution complex stuff about it being because it involved Africa. How many times have matches been replayed? Before you shout persecution, you have to answer that question.

And before you shout Africa, please, do read up on events following the ban from FIFA. This same referee had earlier been excluded from officiating at the AFCON 2017 because of his abysmal performance in the South Africa vs Senegal match. CAF must have thought he was becoming rusty, not knowing that he had been bought.

FIFA have explained how they nailed him. FIFA follow trends of betting on its matches. They must have heard reports on the referee and began watching him. Every match he had officiated seemed to have ended as betted by major betters in the Middle East, especially. Also, the trend of major wins for matches officiated by this corrupt official brought on the suspicion.

In addition, watch that South Africa vs Senegal match. It was abysmal to say the least. The two South African goals were aided. The whole match was played to unfairly favour South Africa.

Lastly, it was the Senegalese football association that sent a complaint to FIFA. It was not FIFA that just rose up one morning and started persecuting Africa.

BluntBoy:
That is UEFA's call, not for FIFA. FIFA is for countries, not clubs.

And you need to watch that South Africa-Senegal match. The referee did not even try to hide his act. His calls were suspicious from his offside call on Diouf to his added time. He killed that match for Senegal. Even the South African commentator for that match said something about "homeside ruling" or something like that. I watched that match but I can't really remember how that commentator put it. The match was disgusting.

All we need is just a win.

I am in agreement with you.

Nwakali on this thread is being considered on past glories but glories in youth football. He has spent a season at low rated Dutch club. If he was making waves he would be well known in the Eredivisie but he is not. Currently he doesn't merit a call up. The SE is not for boys but those who have proven themselves worthy.

It's quite obvious that we do not have a replacement for Mikel. I really would have liked to see Ogu in that midfield to see what he can do, particularly in the latter stages of today's game. His composure and calmness could possibly have calmed down matters for us opposed to the frantic play we adopted towards the end.

I actually would consider Sone Aluko for that role as a quality option.

FabioPeter:
When you win 4-0 there is hardly any lesson to learn. In the first leg Ezenwa was hardly tested but he did the forbidden for keepers in two occasion, first he left his line for a cross that was out off his reach, the second he fumbled a weak shot to the attack line.
Keepers/players make mistakes but when you reapeat basic errors there is more than enough cause for worry. We need Eyeama back.

ofuonyebi:
Oliseh failed woefully as Super Eagles Coach and resigned to avoid further embarrassment..

Why did he NOT simply apply for a third division side here in 9ja like the Dutch team he is now coaching?

Anyway, he has learnt his lessons in a bitter way that, a little boy does NOT imitate a man like the 'Big Boss"

by biting more that what he can chew!

komekn:
I can assure you 100% that Sone Aluko exclusion had nothing WHATSOEVER to do with ability but everything to do with SETTLEMENT and a complete lack of understanding of egunje politics and or a refusal to play the game the Nigerian way.

Do your homework, consider Gabriel Rueben, signed a 3 year contract with lowly Kilmarnock played maybe 30 minutes was so bad he never played all season and was released shockingly he went to the World cup for us meanwhile Aluko was a regular for Hull in the EPL. Check who Reuben's is agent was at the time and the arrangements concerning match bonuses, and you may be opening a very smelly can of worms, I am mindful of defamation his agent was Tony Harris.

Consider players who were omitted and mediocre players like Uchebo and others were selected and you know big wahala deh many questions arise that are indicative of sharp practices.

Clementoke:
Not surprised at all. Uganda drew with Ghana away so........?

Slimydude49:
Vincent aboubakar has four goals in 4 games this season.. Balogun and ekong better be sharp all day.. Basogog vs echejiele.. Scary

When Chalatans come online to sing Wikes praises or hype Rivers State I just laugh and shake my head. Rivers State has been in distress since the days of Peter Odili. The state is economically comatose. Big businesses have closed and moved. Insecurity became rife after the Youths realised that kidnapping was a faster source of money. There are no good paying jobs in Rivers State outside of the Banks and Oil Companies. The economy of the State is not just one tracked but also stagnated. Michelin Nigeria has abandoned base. Other big companies are paying an arm an a leg in security fees to the Police and Army. Have you seen Shell Nigeria moving their personnel in Rivers State? The only thing lacking is an attack helicopter. When these companies are not paying for security they are settling community Chiefs, Youths and touts. I can count the number of companies that have been blockaded by Youths and Juju severally. Nigerian Breweries na regular customer for Oginigba Youths. The Rivers Man is too intellectually Lazy to even do Yahoo business. It's always "Contracts" and "Government appointment".

Wike can't do shiit about it cos he can't turn his back on the community people and touts that helped him into power. Obio Akpor and Phalga Local Government Agents are all touts harassing the small business owners for one ridiculous levy or tax or sticker. The day the Oil dries up the State is finished. Look at Lagos.. Multiple sources of income for their economy and they keep opening up newer avenues. The tallest building in Rivers State was built in the 1970s. The biggest hotel remains the Presidential Hotel built about the same era. The States Ineternational Airport isn't fit to be a motor park. The Seaport in Onne is just for bragging rights and nothing else. The Railways are none exiting. Agriculture is not in the books of the Rivers Man and Even the States owned Palm Plantation which uses to be the best in Africa has been sold off. NAFCON which was the National fertilizer company is a thing to be remembered. Even Shoprrite will not open a branch in the State despite Ibadan and Enugu all having same. Real Estate business is A new concept to the state (Don't call Gulf Estate cos we all know how that came about). Almost all the businesses in the State are store and supermarket business.

This insecurity can't be stopped by Guns.. The streets are filled with hungry and lazy youths. The Government does not care as long as they keep the PDP Monopoly going at the expense of state security. Islanders, Greenish, Dey Bam, Dey Well and co have always existed in Rivers State but ever since they got the backing of the Government for political purposes, they grew into something else.

Rivers State is a State in distress and until the Government comes out with an honest approach to fixing the economic stagnation and rot in the State, the insecurity will keep rising.

Anybody with even 500k value wey want ehn peace of mind will not stay in Rivers State if they can. I know many People who relocated their families from Rivers State and only remain in the State for work and fly out almost every weekend to visit their families.

Bro north is blessed with talented footballers but nobody give them a chance

Ratello:
Can peace ever reign in the North? No! This is because they have spilled innocent blood in the past and these innocent ones are crying against that cursed land for vengeance I am talking on the angle of authority mind you. Boko Haram will continue to kill unless the killings of innocent Christians up North are stopped and the fundamentalists up there turn over a new leaf. North is practically a land of blood. I rest my case

Lol that's what you like to believe. If Spain wanted him, he won't blink an eye. Like he even stands a chance...

This road was built by RCC under the Yaradua/Jonathan regime.

It's really a pitiful sight when a road that has not even been commissioned has started falling apart even before the contractor has left the site.

Sorry you are wrong. That bridge has been there since I cannot remember when.. It was only asphalt overlay that was done during Yaradua/Goodluck tenure. I think what we are lacking is still the maintenance culture especially Concrete repairs. Its a pity and its a very busy road.
