After failing to secure a
move to Europe, the
midfielder returned to
Abuja on Monday. Goal
reveals what went down
in France and why the
player’s progress has now
been stalled
GOAL EXCLUSIVE
Goal can authoritatively
reveal that it was sheer
greed on the part of
Nigerian club officials that
cost Super Eagles
midfielder Sunday Mba the
opportunity of kick-
starting his professional
football career in France
with modest French Ligue
2 club CA Bastia in a two-
year-deal said to be worth
around €1 million.
The fans of Bastia had
thronged out to welcome
the Africa Cup of Nations
hero to their city when he
arrived last week. They
screamed his name every
time he was seen through
the window of his hotel
room: “We love Sunday
Mba” and “Welcome to
Bastia Sunday Mba, we
love you,” they shouted.
He had begun to feel at
home.
But the hope of having the
25-year-old play for their
darling club ebbed near
European transfer
deadline day when the
midfielder left France
when he realised that
forces beyond him would
not allow him make
progress.
Mba jetted back to the
country on Monday and
moved to the
Metropolitan Hotel Camp
of the Super Eagles in
Calabar on Tuesday after
his Bastia deal was thrown
to the trash can by the
Warri Wolves officials and
other two prominent
partners involved in the
deal.
Goal discovered from a
prominent contact who
was privy to the contract
and it was discovered that
the sharing of the
€150,000 involved as
transfer fee was the major
cause of the deal not
materializing in the first
place.
Super Eagles coach
Stephen Keshi allegedly
demanded for €50,000
from the deal which Warri
Wolves boss Amaju
Pinnick perceived was too
much and believed that
the remaining €100,000
won’t be enough for him
and Emmanuel Ibru, who
was also involved in the
sale of the player, to share.
Ibru was involved in the
controversial transfer of
late Super Eagles defender
Olubayo Adefemi before
he joined Skoda Xanthi.
They all disagreed on Mba
putting pen to paper for
Bastia unless the transfer
fee was jacked up to at
least €600,000 so that
they could have enough to
go share.
The player, though not
happy, couldn’t help the
situation. According to a
close friend of his, Mba
sobbed uncontrollably in
his hotel in France because
he had already started
feeling at home in Bastia
as a result of love and
affection shown to him by
Bastia fans.
Goal can also
authoritatively reveal the
terms of agreement Mba
could have signed with
Bastia as follows:
If Bastia gains promotion
to Ligue 1, they have the
right to buy Sunday Mba
at a preferential price of
€800,000 minus the
amount they have already
paid while a bonus of
€100,000 will be given to
Warri Wolves, Mba’s club.
Also a partnership deal of
2 years will be agreed
between the two clubs
(Bastia and Warri Wolves)
to organize friendly games
and trials at Bastia for the
best players of Warri
Wolves. This agreement
will work at the moment
they maintain their place
in the league or get
promoted and the
contract can be renewed
every 2 years.
The player also cannot be
sold for less than
€800,000. In the case
where he is sold on to
another club, Warri
Wolves would be given 50
per cent of the fees.
In case the player is
injured for more than 4
months, Bastia have the
right to release him and
have to give him back to
Warri Wolves without
asking for their money
back and don't have to
pay the rest of the money
due.
In case CA Bastia get
relegated, Sunday Mba will
go back to Warri Wolves
as being specified in the
contract that Mba couldn’t
sign.
With the failure of Mba to
move to Europe this
summer, it is yet to be
seen how this would
affect the career of the
player who helped Nigeria
to victory at the 2013
Africa Cup of Nations.

The problems PHCN is
causing Nigerians have
gotten to an alarming
state. If you are a visitor to
the country, you would
not need to be told that
the country is having a
serious issue with power
supply. While majority are
complaining of serious
power problems, some are
still saying that there is no
problem and that power is
being dispensed equitably.
These are some of the
opinions as compiled by
SATURDAY VANGUARD.
The sector is epileptic —
Arthur Oguezeh
The inconsistent nature of
PHCN service in the
country is so bad that
some experts have
described it to be epileptic
in nature. This has been
one of the major reasons
why most industrialists
are afraid to invest in the
country and it is making
the rate of unemployment
to be very high. In my
area in Ikotun,Lagos State,
though they say that they
are sharing the supply, we
cannot still differentiate
between when it is our
turn and when it is not
because, it is complete
blackout all through.
Power supply is not
consistent. It is so bad.
It’s not that bad here—
Ogeri Ndume
We don’t really have much
problem in the area where
I am staying. But other
parts of the State are...

Thumbs Up!

Their government and economy will make it conducive for them to cope. God bless America.

Efemena_xy: You're looking at it from one perspective. The American soldier's side of the story and you expect people to go "Awwww....touching!"

What about the story of the people on the opposing side? The Iraqis / Afghanistans / unfortunate civilians caught in the middle? Those that have lost family members leaving behind widows, orphans, and utterly destitute relatives with no hope of surviving?

You give us pictures of an American soldier getting the best health care and physio therapy. What about the others? Do they too not have a story to tell?

At least he has show us one side. You can help us with the other side.

A Moscow court has
found late whistle-
blowing lawyer Sergei
Magnitsky and his
former boss guilty of
tax evasion.
Magnitsky, who worked
for the Hermitage
Capital investment fund,
died in pretrial
detention at age 37
after being allegedly
beaten and denied
medical treatment.
It is the first time Russia
has put a dead man on
trial, deepening
concerns over human
rights and the rule of
law in the country.
Magnitsky was accused
of tax evasion in 2008
after exposing a $230
million tax scam
implicating Russian
police and government
officials.
High-Profile Case
Magnitsky's 11-month
detention and his death
in 2009 sparked an
international outcry,
with the United States
imposing sanctions on
Russian officials
involved in the case.
The court on July 11
also found the head of
Hermitage Capital,
William Browder, guilty
of evading about $17
million in taxes.
He was sentenced to
nine years in prison.
The U.S.-born British
investor, who was tried
in absentia, has
spearheaded an
international campaign
to expose corruption…

If tonto go use her head, make she deny responsibility and claim that her account has been hacked. That will end the case.

Apparently fed up with
all the insinuations about
celebrities not showing
enough support for OJB,
Ghanaian actress Juliet
Ibrahim has put in her
own two cents on the
matter.
OJB is currently very ill
and his camp has said
that the legendary
producer needs a $100,
000 fro a kidney
transplant.
Juliet Ibrahim however, is
suggesting that a kidney
transplant doesn’t cost
more that 50,000 USD,
and that there are
cheaper alternatives.
According to the light
skinned actress, she owns
a kidney foundation and
so knows about these
things. She also added
that those in charge of
the fundraising activities
should reach out to the
right people and stop
harassing celebrities for
funds.
www.hiphopworldmagazine.com/2013/06/27/stop-harassing-celebrities-for-funds-juliet-ibrahim-tells-ojb/

We cant say all the
celebrities are not
trying to do their part
to save OJB as the
Okoye brothers, Peter,
Paul (P-Square) & Jude
have donated N5
million to help save
OJB. They personally
delivered the check to
OJB when they went to
visit him at his home
in Surulere, Lagos.
Joy Tongo, the group’s
agent in the US also
confirmed the story via
her social media page.

Abu Mikey: Read the Post I quoted above!! You idioot

Thank you.

Abu Mikey: The Old woman might be saying the truth tho!!

How? Or is it because she is an old woman?

dangiwa09: Ignorant Nigerians, no wonder the country is such a sewer. Someone died in a car accident, and another man, who was nowhere near the scene is now blamed for the accident and deaths, all in the name of tales-by-moonlight believe called "rituals". And the media actually reported this, and some people buy it hook line and sinker. At this rate, it will take Nigeria/Nigerians over 100 years to get civilized, big shame!

Thank you. And if I be Emeka Morgan, I go sue for defamation, live.

Nigeria should just be left
out of this neo-
colonial agenda. Please
pass this on.
Nigerians are a great
people and they are
usually
positive additions to any
culture they join.
Proudly Naija.

British/Nigeria, colonial master/colony. Na we we... A mother who called her child bad authomatically calls herself bad. They definately will address this culprits as 'britain-nigeria', thereby sharring from the bad image this will result to. The culprits where grumed under their government. They are more Britain than Nigerian. Na we we o, but na them get those guys pass.

Dewze: See how Nigerians think one-sidedly. We just dont want to see the bigger picture.
If this were to be a white community this man wld be supported by the people (however old he may be). This is because they wld know in the back of their mind tht this man even though it seems tht he is fighting for himself, in the real sense he is fighting for something much bigger.
When (if) some day some of u who ve jocked on this man's expense wld ve the cause to run to the Government for help and you get ignored then u wld see the significance of his actions.

The blacks and other ethnic groups in America did not over whelmingly vote for Obama simply because he was handsome and charismatic. They voted for him because they knew tht tht was d chance they had to brake tht jinxs and open the way for evry other tribes to take a surer shot at leadership in America.
This man Bash Ali is not fighting for himself alone he is fighting (unknowingly maybe) for the liberty of U and I.
Think outside the box Nigeria.

My brother, tell me one person, whos name is in guiness book of records that was sponsored by the govt of his or her country. He is just being funny.

maryjames9: You get Government? Where dem? Oh,those ones for Rock Aso,abi na Aso Rock? Those old men went to represent their pockets and family,not you. Again,this man deserves attention from his government. He has served the nation well, won titles for his country. Now,he want to cap his career with this "historic fight",except if there's something i'm yet to read,he deserves to be listened to by his president like most normal nation. I guess ours is obviously abnormal. We'l rather pump billions to build a house for First lady,have minister made deal of 56triln than spend millions to hold a fight so desperately important to a common Bash Ali. Do we even "give a damn" about each other b4? FG should listen to him as a citizen as they should to any man out there.

. Yes! I agree that he should be listen to, but he shouldn't be given the chance to commit sucide. Who ever should send this man to the ring should be considered a wicked person.

alpha conde: May be the presidency hates boXing like I do

Not really... The president know that Bash Ali stands the chance of meeting any of the Klishkow brothers and he didnt want the man to die in his regime. Obasanjor escaped it, Yar'adua did, Jonathan will follow suit.

I may not be a boxer, but I will kill this man. He is old for christ sake. Na so them do, Klichtko nearly kill Samuel Peter for us, since then we never hear from am. Hope this story is a joke sha.

Just sunday, no wednesday.

Maybe if Ini Edo had
known that posting a
picture of her in the
kitchen cooking what
looks like spaghetti
would bring her
insults, she would
not have released the
photograph online.
But rather than getting
commendations, angry
fans used the
opportunity to vent
their anger on the
actress.
“Mtchewwww! So
disgusting! What kind
of yama-yama food is
dis? So this is what u
eat everyday & u re
proud to show it off.
See how messy d
environment is jst because
of common spag,” an
angry fan on NFC
posted.
Another wrote, “Ini
dearest brown sugar,
that looks like dog
food o, abi you cooked
it for ‘ginny’ to come
chop? Anyways, if that
dog food is for ‘ginny’,
you need to add
ketchup!”
“Goshhh, see dirt
everywhere! Just 4
ordinary spaghetti,” a
fan also wrote. “heiii,
ini dis one na
otorogbagbue nne efi,
my 9months old baby
go reject dis one now,”
wrote another fan.
Some others went on
to vent their angers on
the beautiful actress.
Some of their
comments are
presented below;
“what type of food is
this? u know how to
dress well and look
good but u don’t know
how to cook good
food and clean ur
kitchen well while
cooking,”
“I want to vomit
oooooo. Ini pls as
much as i am your fan,
i have to tell you the
truth. You just cook
r*****h.”
“I can’t stop laffing too
oooo. What is this
biko? Oh no! Pls take

“Ini, which kin

So, na dis tin u dae

“You really disappoint
me. How can you show
the world that you
cook this food. The
kitchen is very dirty.
You only dress outside
but inside is na**y. No
joking, please go and
learn how to cook in a
way people will feel

splashbaby: US Boston Marathon bombing: 2 killed and more than 6000 officers deployed. Nigeria Boko Haram bombing so far: Over 4000 killed and 2000 officers deployed plus probably another 2000 already on ground making 4000. GEJ is a joke

Must we disappriciate anything that comes from GEJ? Can you suggest remedy for this matter? SMH.

Yomii: The most ridiculous bride prize i have ever had in my life was #2 That was when my friends elder sister got married to an Igbo Man. Now that my brother want to marry an igbo lady, they told him to bring #500,000

Your friends elder sister must be around her late 30's or early 40's. That is why she is very cheap. And probably that igbo girl must have finished her nysc, then the difference is clear.

God abeg o...

Mr A went to his bank to deposite N500,000 into his account. On the counter, haven filled the teller, he fowarded his N500,000 together with teller to the cashier. In the process of counting the money, armed robbers came in and robbed the N500,000 from the cashier in Mr A's presence. What is the position of the parties involved? Or who should bear the loss between parties involved? Please give your reasons. Thanks.

head_to_to: OP. shame on you. A guy should be able to spend anything on her woman without making a public show out of it.

Spend anything? U must be a Mugu.
