Duru1:
The only reason shall be rigging by APC. Nigerians shall be watching you and APC.

Let's not act like PDP didn't rig elections for 16 years

All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday dismissed the plan by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to win the February 16 presidential election.

He delivered a firm verdict on PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar’s ambition, saying he cannot win because Nigerians “will not go back to the illusion of the PDP”.

He said no matter the attempt to dress up the former ruling party, “the leopard cannot change its skin”.

The PDP ruled for 16 years during which Nigeria earned so much money from oil but made no corresponding progress in infrastructure development — so goes the popular thinking.



Asked if he was jittery about Atiku’s meeting with his party chiefs in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai), Tinubu said: “We don’t fear, whether it is in the jungle or in Dubai or in Abu Dhabi; people are free to meet and strategise in anyway they want but we are not going back to the illusion of the PDP. It is not possible; Nigerians will not do that.


“They say slow and steady wins the race. We inherited that from our forefathers and knowledgeable people. We can’t go back to the pit that we inhabited for 16 years. They can strategise from anywhere but a leopard cannot change its skin,” he said.

Tinubu spoke after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso Villa in Abuja.

The meeting is believed to be part of the trouble-shooting effort by President Buhari on the issues that emanated from the APC primaries.

Tinubu, who arrived at the State House at about 3.56 p.m, moved straight into the President’s office.

The President’s meeting with the APC stalwart and National Chairman Adams Oshiomhole came less than 24 hours after Buhari hosted aggrieved APC aspirants to a dinner at the State House.

At the dinner were governorship, national and state assembly aspirants who failed to secure the party’s tickets. Oshiomhole did not attend the dinner.

President Buhari had also met with Borno State Goveror Kashim Shettima.

Asked if he is in support of Oshiomhole’s removal, Tinubu said: “No. We all have to respect party supremacy. You were all here when we had the Congress, we elected the new executives, the convention we had it, the NEC was formed and we surrendered to avoid conflict, to avoid domination, to avoid abuses of power, we surrendered our rights, all rights to the National Working Committee headed by Adams Oshiomohole.

“That the National Working Committee should set up electoral bodies to supervise various state congresses and elections. ‘We signed off for it’. So, if it is not in our individual favour, so be it.

“We gave three options, consensus; where there is no consensus because if you are more than two or three and you cannot agree to one candidate, you go to the next level.

“The next level is the stakeholders delegate and you have to be supervised by the National Working Committee of the party, national election committee of the party. That shows party supremacy or the freest option; the less cumbersome is to open direct primary, line up and count the number, 1,2,3. If you win, you win and if you fail, go home.

“Then appeal committee was set up to listen to all appeals; internal mechanism for conflict resolution. It was there; you cannot turn round against that, you cannot turn against all of that.

“No. Party is supreme; party must be respected. Abuses will not do it and anger will not do it. It is party politics. Somebody will win and somebody will lose, too bad.”

On the purpose of his visit to the Presidential Villa, Tinubu said: “The meeting is about the nation, the country, our people, peace, stability and economic progress.”

Super Eagles’ Head Coach, Gernot Rohr said the team’s 0-2 loss to Croatia in their opening match of Russia 2018 was due to “many mistakes’’.


Rohr, while speaking Saturday at the post-match conference of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Group D fixture, said he and his players were aware they made some grave mistakes during the game.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that in the match played in Kaliningrad, the Eagles lost through an own goal by Oghenekaro Etebo and a Luka Modric penalty kick.

“We know we made some mistakes, too many important mistakes, and it is clear that we need to get better in order to move on,’’ the coach said.

He said the entire team was disappointed at the result, adding that they needed to work on being professional with the set-pieces.

“Our organisation was good, that is clear just as the tactics were not wrong, but we need to be more professional in the way we take the set-pieces. We need to be better before our next game,’’ he added.

Rohr, who admitted that the loss had made their task more herculean, said team Captain, Mikel Obi’s performance in the game was satisfactory just as he equally praised the defenders.

“Mikel has since I took over always been playing the way we deployed him today, and this has yielded results for us.

“But, he couldn’t have done better than he did today, because of the quality of those he was playing against.

“He had Ivan Rakitic of FC Barcelona and Luka Modric of Real Madrid playing against him, and they are of good quality and playing for clubs bigger than that of Mikel who plays in China.

“So, he really did well,’’ he said.

On the 62nd minute substitution of Alex Iwobi, the coach said it was not done out of poor performance by the Arsenal FC player.

“Iwobi deserved his starting place, based on his performances in the last few days. He only had big work to do with the full back, and this took much out of him.

“However, he did well and I don’t think he shouldn’t have started the game,’’ he said.

Rohr, however, assured that he and his assistants would go on to ensure the team was improved upon before their June 22 date with Iceland in Volgograd.

“We will improve because it is important for us. We have to get better in order to move forward,’’ he said.

The Nigerian football team have ‘officially’ been crowned the kings of the fashion for the 2018 FIFA World Cup after their travel outfits to Russia were hailed by the reputable fashion magazine,VOGUE

The stylish traditional attires was designed by GT Stiches, a reputable Warri based clothing brand in collaboration with PiolaFootprints, a fast rising Lagos-based footwear brand.

As reported by VOGUE

Let’s hear it for the Nigerian soccer team: the “Super Eagles’’ World Cup jersey is the most popular in the world right now. Nike’s Nigerian “Naija” kit, which sells for $90 a pop, has broken records, as fans have already pre-ordered 3 million of the green and white, zig-zag–printed jerseys.
The team has proven to have some off-duty swagger, as well. Today, they uploaded an image of themselves on a plane en route to Russia looking dapper in optic white tunics with a green soccer ball print at the collar. And instead of their usual swishy shorts? They wore tailored white trousers.
But that’s not all. The Super Eagles’s accessories are, well, goals. They wore natty boater hats with a grass green ribbon and matching feathers. The players may have started a new footwear trend that sure beats the humble cleat, too: White loafers with a green tassel bouncing off the front. Sounds like a clear win to us.

And the colour of the Nigerian flag is not black or brown, those are ceremonial shoes to match the outfit, not your everyday black, brown jammer-jammer

SoNature:
Those shoes no make sense at all

I hate to see shoes or flip flog with plenty of designs

As a guy, I like my shoe black or brown

Any other colour is not acceptable

Babaalawo:
We are going to the world cup to make a fashion statement,not to win the world cup,just like the slay queen on Instagram without anything upstairs.

You are talking about winning the world cup as if the other countries came to pick beans, no African team has even made in past the Q/Finals.

So if we can get into the Q/Finals, that's a massive achievement already.

Emekus92:
Go Nigeria.

Qualifying making 1st or 2nd is Nigeria number 1 priority now

Yes o, Q/Finals self... who knows?

hisgrace090:
If this will motivate them, it is accepted.

To be honest the NFF really tried for them this time, wonderful jersey and native outfit, world class preparations, even paid allowances in advance, they have absolutely no excuse to perform well this time.

KELVINXY:
Only God knows who much Nigeria spent on this yet another publicity stunt.

Mathematical:


ABEG MAK UNA STOP ALL THIS LEGBERE FASHION SHOW..

GO AND MAKE US PROUD..

Legbegbe Fashion show...that's hilarious

kristonium:
World cup is a serious business!
Not fashion parade!
Enough of all this paparazzi!

The 'paparazzi' is one of the things that light up the World Cup!

It's once in four years.

Support the team instead of ranting, they just concluded an intense training camp in Austria and are ready to make us proud.

The Nigerian team is already the talk of the 2018 FIFA World Cup as they landed in style in Russia on Monday with stylish traditional attires designed by GT Stiches, a reputable Warri based clothing brand in collaboration with PiolaFootprints, a fast rising Lagos-based footwear brand.

The outfit comprise of a beautiful south-south styled white hat with a green feather, a smooth white native attire with green embroidery of the Super Eagles emblem with an eagle on top of a ball crested on the chest, then with a nice pair of white shoes with green tassels.

“First it was the announcement of their tournament kits that sent football supporters crazy. Now it is their travel attire that has got everybody talking,” The Daily Mail wrote.

“They nailed it with their kits, and have delivered the goods yet again as they boarded their plane to Russia wearing traditional Nigerian clothes, Buba and Sokoto’s

“From head to toe, the Nigerian squad have indulged in their culture and clearly have no intentions of blending in with the crowd other nations looking to upset the odds in Russia.

“While sticking to tradition, however, designers of their outfits have also kept faith with the football them by placing footballs on the collars of the white and green outfits.”

BBC Sport reporter and presenter John Bennett tweeted: “First the amazing shirts, now these outfits… The Nigeria team are only just getting on the plane to Russia but they’re already winning.”

United Kingdom news outlet, The Sun also bared their thoughts on Nigeria’s impressive travel outfit.

“Nigeria once again won the fashion stakes at this year’s World Cup with their incredible travel outfit,” they wrote.

“The Nigeria squad looked every inch the dapper chaps as they arrived in Russia

“This formal look has sent everyone into a frenzy all over again, with the immaculate design being complemented by matching shoes and hats.”
