Sports / Mourinho Is Greater Than Wenger & Guardiola – Fabregas by DarhBlack(m): 12:17pm On May 05, 2015
The Spanish international midfielder
believes the Portuguese coach has a
“magic touch” and believes his desire
to win places him above Pep Guardiola
and Arsene Wenger
Cesc Fabregas has claimed that Jose
Mourinho is the best manager he
has played under.
Chelsea wrapped up their first
Premier League title in five seasons
with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace
on Sunday and Fabregas believes
Mourinho’s influence on that
triumph cannot be underestimated,
crediting his winning mentality as a
key factor in Chelsea’s success.
The Spaniard has worked under
esteemed coaches such as Pep
Guardiola, Vicente del Bosque and
Arsene Wenger in his career, but
says that Mourinho is number one.
“He (Mourinho) just loves winning,”
the 28-year-old said. “I’m not just
saying other managers I have played
under don’t, but he has some edge
that goes above anyone else I have
ever been with.

“The mentality shows every single
training session, or game. I now
understand why he has won what
he has won in his career.
“Yes, Mourinho has a touch of
magic, 100 per cent. He knows how
to manage a team, he knows how to
get the best out of you, and that’s
what you want from a manager. 100
per cent.”

Fabregas also warned the Blues’
rivals that this season could be just
the beginning of a protracted spell
of dominance for Mourinho’s side.
“Hopefully it will be the start of a
new era, a new team. Hopefully the
new players now feel this winning
mentality can go on for a long time,”
he added.

“Even obviously we have the likes
of John Terry, Didier Drogba, Petr
Cech, Branislav Ivanovic and Jon Obi
Mikel, they have all been here seven
or eight years, even longer.
“I have always said since the
beginning of the season that it is a
very young talented team, and that
as well is one of the causes that
made me sign for the club, is that,
potentially, this team can be one of
the best in Europe.”

Sports / Van Gaal Bans Van Persie From Taking Penalty Kicks by DarhBlack(m): 10:51am On May 05, 2015
Manchester United boss Louis van
Gaal, has confirmed that Robin van
Persie has dropped down the pecking
order for penalty-taking duties.
The Dutch striker missed from 12
yards against West Brom on
Saturday, as the Red Devils trailing
1-0 at Old Trafford – a game they
eventually lost by the same margin.
Van Gaal revealed that he will soon
appoint a new player for the role,
with captain Wayne Rooney not in
contention having missed a few
weeks ago too.
When asked if his compatriot will
continue taking penalties, he
replied: “No. He is now at the end of
the road.
“It’s always like that. Wayne has
missed also so, when you miss, you
are at the bottom again.
“Wayne has already missed – twice,
I believe – so we have penalties and
we miss them.”
Van Persie, who just returned from
injury lay-off, has netted 10 times in
26 league games this season.

Politics / Jimi Agbaje Challenges Ambode’s Victory, Drags Him To Tribunal by DarhBlack(m): 8:13pm On May 04, 2015
Agbaje, who had congratulated
Ambode on his victory, filed the
petition on Thursday, April 30, 2015.
The petitioners in the case are
Agbaje and the PDP while the
respondents are the Independent
National Electoral Commission
(INEC), Ambode, the APC and the
INEC Resident Electoral
Commissioner (REC) for Lagos State,
Akin Orebiyi.
According to documents filed by the
PDP candidate’s lawyers, the
petitioners are contesting Ambode’s
victory on three grounds:

1. INEC’s non-compliance with
Section 7 of its own 2015 Election
Guidelines which provides for the
use of card readers in all polling
units.
Agbaje is therefore seeking the
cancellation of the results of all
polling units where card readers
were not used.

2. APC’s non-compliance with
Section 85 of the Electoral Act 2010
(as amended) which stipulates that a
party must give INEC 21 days’ notice
of the convention where it intends
to choose its governorship
candidate.
APC’s letter notifying INEC of the
convention where Ambode was
elected was submitted on November
18, 2014 while he was chosen as the
party’s candidate on December 4,
2014, 5 days shy of the official
requirement.

3, Ambode’s alleged conflicting
claims of his state of origin. Agbaje
is alleging that the APC candidate
stated in his JAMB form (REG No:
646789) that he’s from Ilaje Local
Government Area in Ondo State
while in his governorship form, he
claims, under oath, to be from Epe
in Lagos State.
An insider said that Agbaje was
hesitant to pursue the case against
Ambode but was pressured into it
by members of his party.
“He already accepted the result but
they [PDP] convinced him to
challenge it,” the source said.

The Lagos State election tribunal
will begin sitting on Tuesday, May 5,
2015.
Ambode won the gubernatorial
election in Lagos with 811,994 votes
to defeat Agbaje who polled 659,788
votes.
Agbaje reportedly placed a phone
call to his opponent at 6.58pm on
Sunday, April 12, before the official
results were announced, to
congratulate him on his victory.

Politics / Buhari Plans Mass Retirement Of Corrupt Military Leaders by DarhBlack(m): 12:05pm On May 04, 2015
One of the first major actions to be
taken by President-elect
Muhammadu Buhari on assumption
of office is a massive shake-up of
the military, TheCable understands.
There will be a “mass retirement” of
senior officers who are believed to
have corruptly enriched themselves
or “who abandoned professionalism
for politics”, sources in the know of
the plan told TheCable.
Already, a small group has been set
up quietly to work out the
modalities for the shake-up and
scout possible replacements for
those to be weeded out.
Most likely to be affected are
officers who allegedly mismanaged
funds meant for military operations,
those who colluded with crude oil
thieves and those who engaged in
political activities in breach of their
professional duties.
Former President Olusegun
Obasanjo, in his congratulatory
letter to Buhari after the March 28
election, had urged the president-
elect to reform the military, saying
“so much harm [had been] done to
many national institutions including
the military, which proudly
nurtured you and me”.
Obasanjo, on assuming office in
1999, retired all officers who had
held political appointments — an
action thought to have helped
prevent a possible coup after several
military interventions in the nation’s
history.
Buhari is a retired major-general
who had commanded all the
divisions in the Nigerian army
before becoming head of state in
1983 after a coup. He was retired in
August 1985 following his ouster his
chief of army staff, Ibrahim
Babangida, now a retired general.
An insider in Buhari’s circle told
TheCable: “The military has been
politicised and bastardised in the
last few years. Corruption has
reached unprecedented levels with
the oil theft in the Niger Delta and
haphazard anti-terror war.
“Nobody can say sincerely that the
leadership of the military has lived
up to expectations. We need a
professional military. We cannot be
relying on neighbouring countries to
be bailing us out of our internal
issues. Buhari will transform the
military to an institution of pride for
all Nigerians again.”
TheCable could not ascertain the
extent of the planned purge, apart
from the expected change of service
chiefs and division commanders.
But the primary aim of the planned
changes, the source added, is to rid
the military of “greedy and
unprofessional officers”.
The military has come under
scrutiny in recent years over its
seeming failure to curb terror and
oil theft as well as corruption in the
top hierarchy.
In the north-east operations against
Boko Haram, there were reports that
monies meant for the allowances of
troops were being diverted to
private pockets.
Instead of the monthly allowance of
N30,000, the troops were reportedly
getting N15,000 with no satisfactory
official explanation on what
happened to the balance.
The troops were also allegedly being
given only three sachets of “pure
water” per day in the desert heat
and lacked sleeping kits.
Their food supplies for the day were
allegedly brought at once in the
morning, a situation that saw them
eating cold lunch and sour dinner.
Many troops were also battle-weary
and suffering psychological trauma
but did not get the necessary
support from the authorities, leading
to several cases of mutiny which
resulted in death sentences for
soldiers found guilty of refusing to
fight.
At some stage last year, troops fired
shots at the commander of the 7th
division in Maiduguri, Borno state,
Ahmed Mohammed, a major
general, who narrowly escaped
death in the hands of the frustrated
soldiers.
He was immediately transferred
from the division, which was
created by President Goodluck
Jonathan specifically to fight Boko
Haram insurgents.
These deficiencies, compounded by
the perceived superior firepower of
the Boko Haram militants, were
largely held responsible for the
prolonged war against terror which
only came to live when the February
14 presidential election was
postponed by six weeks.
Also, Daily Trust newspaper
reported last year that the army top
brass had shared part of a land
meant for barracks in the Asokoro
District of Abuja, a further evidence
of the rot in the military.
It said the 439 beneficiaries of the
landgrab included spouses,
relations, friends, associates and
companies owned by senior army
officials.
Kenneth Minimah, a lieutenant
general and chief of army staff, and
his predecessor Azubuike Ihejirika,
a retired general, were allocated
2035.41sqm and 3909.35sqm of land
respectively, the newspaper
reported.
Those who got allocations along with
their wives included two former
chiefs of defence staff, Oluseyi
Petinrin, a retired air chief marshal,
and Ibrahim Ola Sa’ad, a retired
admiral.
Former chief of air staff,
Mohammed Dikko Umar, a retired
air marshal, also got his share, while
Ihejirika’s wife, Gift, got Plot 4882
which is 2385.59sqm.
One other beneficiary named “Oke
Ihejirika” was given 1,583.59sqm, in
addition to three more ‘Ihejirikas’
who were listed as Goodok Oil and
Gas’s directors: Ihejirika
Okechukwu, Ihejirika Chika and
Ihejirika Goodluck. The company got
7476.95sqm of land.
Daily Trust came under attack from
soldiers after its report, with soldiers
seizing copies of the newspaper and
detaining its distribution vans.
Military authorities defended the
action, maintaining then that the
operation was based on a tip-off
that terrorists wanted to use
newspaper vehicles to transport
explosive materials.
