European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)David Moyes Slaughtered By Manchester united Fans After Everton Loss by Etumgbe(op): 9:29am On Dec 05, 2013
It’s safe to say that
David Moyes’ first
game against Everton
as Manchester United
manager didn’t
exactly go to plan.
Try as they may,
United just couldn’t
score and a 1-0 loss
leaves United 12
points off the top of
the Premier League.
Following the loss,
there were plenty of
fans who immediately spat vitriol towards Moyes on any social media
platform in what was a tirade of abuse in reaction to the result.
On both the official Facebook account and The Peoples Person Facebook
account, fans made their opinions abundantly clear – Moyes out.
There is no denying that this year has
not gone to plan so far but in the
biggest season of transition at United,
it is to be expected at least at the
start.
You simply cannot replace nearly
three decades worth of experience at
the helm of United and not have any
teething problems. Just like Marouane
Fellaini needs time to settle and find
his feet at Old Trafford, so does
Moyes.
The squad that United have wasn’t
built by Moyes, he inherited it and is
yet to give it his own identity. That is
something that will take time. Football
has always worked in cycles and
United are starting their cycle this
season.
We all know that the midfield is our weak point and so does Moyes. Even
though he signed Fellaini, he failed to adequately strengthen but at least he
tried with Ander Herrera and Cesc Fabregas.
Patience is not a virtue in football but United fans need to have some.
Results against Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen show what United can do
under Moyes when it clicks but right now, that consistency hasn’t been
found.
Don’t jump on the bandwagon and slam Moyes at any given opportunity, he
isn’t going anywhere. Scapegoats aren’t necessary after every loss, it’s
always a collective effort. If he fails to make the top four, that may change
but as of right now, some United fans need to stop acting so spoilt and
remember that success is never guaranteed.

Fans reactions


dfan says: 12/05/2013 at 03:03 Rubbish, the fact that Man Utd management is still backing
Moyes is starting to make them look STUPID!!!
His substitutions during then Everton match shows his lack of tactical
knowledge, had he taken Welbeck off for Hernandez instead of Kagawa,
would have resulted in a goal for us when the header opportunity came
our way, and the removal of Rafael instead of Giggs caused us the goal
because Valencia is not a natural right back, instead he should have
moved Valencia into the middle in place of Giggs and let either Nani or
Janujaz take the right wing. Such a simple tactical move seems to elude
Moyes, his substitutions cause our team to lose its attacking
momentum and also destabilize the defense.
Everyone seems to point to the middle as our problem which is rightly
so, BUT a 40 year old Giggs is not the solution, instead Valencia would
have provided better cover in the middle as he is used to playing in the
middle for his country.
This simple account should clearly highlight Moyes’s tactical deficiency,
and the fact that he let Rene go is also another Big mistake.

John Tring (@JohnTring) says: 12/05/2013 at 03:40 Just because SAF tricked the Glazers into appointing DM
doesn’t mean DM has a divine right to hang on and carry Utd
down the drain. He’s been incompetent, naïve and it seems, to a lot of
people, he doesn’t have the total backing of players. RVP clearly dislikes
him, Rooney is playing well not because he likes him but surely to prove
the old fogey wrong. Sadly, Utd’s decline is now well and truly underway
and only SAF is responsible. HE BOUGHT RUBBISH PLAYERS and
managed to install an unworthy guy as manager.

players alongside Rooney, Kagawa, Valencia and the others but

Just a fan says: 12/05/2013 at 05:13 What has moyes done, besides show up to work on time, to
deserve our unconditional support? We are 9th in the league and
playing horribly. “But we beat arsenal and leverkusen!!!” Big fucking deal.
Leverkusen stinks and Arsenal had 3 starters go home because illness
swept their locker room. We won because we had a perfectly executed
set piece from two world class players. We had 36% possession in that
game and created 2 or 3 chances at the most. I will admit that I was so
excited when we won but I am back to reality.
Everything has gone to shit since moyes showed up. I was excited when
we hired him because I liked what he was able to do with minimal talent
at everton. Now he is managing quality players straight into the ground.
“But this is SAF’s team and not moyes’ preferred players.” Adapt to
what you have to work with. This same team + fellaini won the league
last season and now every team in the league expects to beat us. If this
team was not good enough for moyes, he had ALLLLLL summer to bring
players in…but instead he sent clowns like phil neville out to list a bunch
of united players and say (paraphrasing) “these guys are good!” and “we
want to add quality to the side, not just bring in extra players.” Clearly
these jokers thought that the team they had was good enough to win
the league (they were until a new manager came in).
We, as united fans, have every right to bitch and moan when our team
is playing the way they are. We tune in to watch every game, buy shirts,
subscribe to the teams websites, etc. Supporting gives us license to call
them out on their bullshit. I call it how I see it. I am not going to sit
around and patronize moyes until his contract expires and we are a
lower half team with no talent because all of our great players left to win
trophies for a manager they respect. If the 11 players on the field are all
playing like shit, it is the fault of the manager.
You fans up on your high horse that think you are so special because
you have supported this club for X amount of years have been drinking
the kool-aid for too long. Living in a fantasy world and pretending that
the team is fine and moyes will get it sorted and we will find a way to
win the league does not make you any better than those of us who are
watching the game with unbiased eyes and living in the real world. We
are calling out moyes because we love this club and we demand better.
Allowing moyes to coach this team to play at such an embarrassing
level and get away with it sets a new precedent. He needs to be
ridiculed so that he understands that this is not acceptable at united.
9th place is never good enough with this club. There is too much quality
in this team for any manager to screw up this badly. I can pick 11
names out of a bucket and get a result against these teams we are
losing and drawing too. Clearly there is no motivation in the side to play
hard and honorably. Moyes is setting the standard and it is not good
enough. I am not saying “moyes out” but I am saying to pick it up 5
notches or go home and let me coach.

SportsIheanacho Not Ripe For 2014 FIFA Worldcup -keshi by Etumgbe(op): 10:12am On Dec 02, 2013
Super Eagles gaffer, Stephen Keshi has on Monday morning
ruled out any world cup plans for teenage sensation Kelechi
Iheanacho stating that the player is still very young and needs
to get involved in a proper team set up with a club.
Iheanacho was adjudged the most valuable player of the 2013
edition of the FIFA U17 World cup in the UAE helping Nigeria in
the process to win the tournament to become the most
successful country in the history of the competition.
“It’s not done; Iheanacho is a good player and he just finished
with the U17 but he needs to be in a team for him to player
regularly and gain league experience”
“His performance at the U17 level is not a guarantee that he
will be picked at the senior level, it just doesn’t work like that”
Keshi exclusively told BrilaFm.net
In a swift reaction, the midfielder's father, James Iheanacho
says his son can surprise the world if included, despite his
young age and inexperience.
“I believe that if he moves to the senior team, he will surprise
the world; they might say he is still young but playing football
is in his blood”
With many top European clubs hot on the heels of the player,
a move abroad is on the cards for the young star player.

PoliticsHow Diezani Alison-madueke Plans To Sell Refineries To Fronts by Etumgbe(op): 7:41am On Nov 27, 2013
The planned sale of Nigeria's four refineries next year
is a well-designed scam calculated to hand over the
country's premium downstream assets to associates
and fronts of the Minister of Petroleum Resources,
Diezani Alison-Madueke, who is also representing the
financial interests of President Goodluck Jonathan in
the deal, SaharaReporters can report.
According to several senior officials at the ministry,
four of the minister's friends have been penciled in to
emerge as preferred bidders by “any means necessary”
even as the Bureau for Public Enterprise (BPE) has
announced its readiness to commence the sales next
year. Top on the list of the “preferred” buyers is Mr.
Jide Omokore, the multi-billionaire PDP figure who
has received numerous juicy deals since Ms. Alison-
Madueke was made Minister of Petroleum Resources
by President Goodluck Jonathan in 2010. Mr. Omokore
is the chairman of Energy Resources Group, whose
subsidiary, Atlantic Energy Drilling Concept Limited,
was involved in a highly scandalous operatorship
take-over of the oil mining licenses (OMLs) of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in
2011.
Mr. Omokore, whose private jet is regularly put at the
disposal of Ms. Alison-Madueke (as do jets by her
other fronts and associates), famously funded an
obscene wedding in Dubai for his son, Oluwatosin, last
June. Some estimates put the cost of the wedding,
which was attended by state governors, ministers,
senior civil servants, senators, former governors and
political godfathers, at $10 million. Oluwatosin’s bride
is Faisal AbdulKadir-Fari, a daughter of Ambassador
Abdulkadir-Fari, then the Permanent Secretary in the
Ministry of Petroleum Resources.
Another “preferred” buyer, Kola Aluko was also
involved in the controversial OML operatorship deal
through his company, Septa Energy, a subsidiary of
Seven Energy. While Mr. Omokore's company got oil
bloc numbers 26, 30, 34, and 42, Igho Salome's
Taleveras got OMLs 4, 38 and 41. In the questionable
deal, Shell divested its operatorship in the OMLs. By
law, the ownership automatically reverted to the NNPC
which manages oil assets on behalf of the Federal
Government of Nigeria. At first, the NNPC had
transferred its operatorship to its exploration
subsidiary, Nigerian Petroleum Development Company
(NPDC).
But in a curious twist, the NPDC said it did not have
the financial resources to operate the OMLs. The
group then organized a “strategic loan” deal with
Atlantic Energy and Septa Energy to provide the funds.
Under the questionable deal, Mr. Omokore and Mr.
Aluko's companies were to receive crude oil allocation
of over 40,000 barrels per day as “loan repayment.”
An oil industry expert told SaharaReporters that the
deal, which was officially called “strategic alliance and
service contract,” will cost Nigerian taxpayers billions
of dollars.
Another NNPC insider told Sahara Reporters, “Where
in the world would you own seven lucrative oil blocks
and then claim you do not have the finances to
operate them? Those are enormous bankable assets.
There is no bank NPDC will approach in the world that
will not jump at the opportunity to finance the
operations. Remember these are not mere oil
prospecting licenses (OPLs). They are OMLs. Oil had
been found there. Shell had been producing oil from
the wells. It only decided to relinquish its interest to
focus on in its offshore wells.”
Several of our sources questioned NPDC’s claim that
it needed to bring in Atlantic Energy and Septa Energy
to finance the production. “It all had to do with the
minister’s financial stake,” said one of them, insisting
that Ms. Alison-Madueke had a reputation for tailoring
oil policies to benefit her pocket.
“The same NNPC that claimed it could not secure the
finances to operate the oil blocks later took out a loan
of $1.6 billion to pay dubious debts owed to shady oil
dealers,” another insider told Sahara Reporters, further
highlighting how greedy and selfish government
officials strangulate the country. He said the minister
cannot come up with any satisfactory justification for
her scandalous policy of mortgaging the country's oil
assets to her friends.
Meanwhile, our sources identified the other two
“preferred” buyers for the refineries as Talevaras, a
firm owned Mr. Igho Salome, and Sahara Energy,
owned by the trio of Tonye Vole, Tope Osinubi and
Ade Odunsi. Talevaras has increasingly come under
the spotlight because of its sudden rise to prominence
in Nigeria’s business scene. The firm was recently
declared the “winner” of the bid for the Afam Power
Plant, despite its lack of any experience in the power
sector. The Afam Power Plc was among 18 assets of
the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) which
were put up for privatization. Initially, none of the bids
received for Afam Power Plc was deemed qualified. But
the government suddenly announced Taleveras as the
winners of the bid.
“I can assure you that the same style will be adopted
to hand over Nigeria’s refineries to the minister's
fronts, usually referred to as preferred buyers,” an
official of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources said.
He continued, “It is not a coincidence that the minister
went to announce to the whole world that the
refineries would be sold first quarter next year even
when there were no such plans disclosed to the BPE.
It should be of interest you that the BPE made its own
pronouncement a week after the minister's, just to
rubber-stamp it. BPE indirectly exposed her plot when
it said the process would commence first quarter next
year, rather than the refineries being sold first quarter
next year as pronounced by her.”
Sahara Energy was also indicted in a report by a
Swiss non-governmental organization, the Berne
Declaration. The report revealed that Nigerian oil
marketing companies perpetrated widespread subsidy
fraud running into several billions of dollars. Titled
“Swiss Traders’ Opaque Deals in Nigeria,” it also
accused the NNPC of colluding with international oil
traders to defraud Nigeria. The report revealed that
Sahara Energy, Rahamaniyya Group, Aiteo Energy
Resources Limited, Ontario Oil and Gas Limited, Tridax
Energy, Mezcor Limited and MRS Group had
established subsidiaries, also called "letter-box"
companies, in Geneva, Switzerland, with no real
business activities.
The report disclosed that these companies established
the subsidiaries primarily for tax advantages, and also
for easy access to international capital. But four of the
companies, namely Sahara Energy, Rahamaniyya,
Aiteo Energy and MRS, were investigated by the
House of Representatives Ad Hoc Committee and
cleared in a widely discredited report that culminated
in the infamous $620,000 bribery scandal involving
the chairman of the House probe committee, Farouk
Lawan, and billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola.
According to the Swiss NGO report, the opaque
partnership between NNPC and the Swiss oil traders
ensures that the profit generated escapes state
coffers. Describing this as “not trivial,” the report
stated: “By way of example, in 2011 the amount
withheld from state coffers came to $8.739 billion.
The public coffers were directly penalized. The same
year, the revenues from oil fell by 39 per cent against
the amount budgeted. And this is despite a rise in the
price of oil.”

CelebritiesKaren Igho Celebrates Becoming A British Citizen by Etumgbe(op): 2:40pm On Nov 21, 2013
Karen Igho, ex-Big Brother Africa winner has dumped hre Nigerian passport for British citizenship.
The controversial reality show star announced this via her Twitter handle @karenigho this morning and invited all her friends for a drink in her home.
“I just became a citizen of the UK…I’m so happy…Drinks for everyone,” she tweeted in the early hours of today alongside a provoking bikini photo.

While announcing her good news of procuring the British red passport, Karen did not reveal how her application for the United Kingdom citizenship sailed through.
P.M.NEWS learnt that among the processes through which immigrants could become a British citizen include marriage, British parents or the most common, settling in Britain.
But Karen has been living in the UK for many years before she won the Big Brother Africa competition. And with her British red passport, she can travel almost everywhere in the world.
Karen won the 2011 Big Brother Africa’s amplified edition. She is arguably one of the most controversial but loveable Nigerian celebs on the scene.
She is an actress and on-air personality with Lagos-based Naija FM Radio.

PoliticsFashola Bans Skating On Expressway by Etumgbe(op): 5:32pm On Nov 20, 2013
Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has vowed to arrest and prosecute Mr. Michael Ekundayo, an official of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, caught on video collecting N8,000 bribe from a motorist and is now on the run.
The governor also banned children and others from skating on the highways, saying that anyone caught violating the order would be arrested and prosecuted according to the dictates of the law.
Fashola, who spoke at the Blueroof Hall, Lagos Television Complex, Agidingbi in Ikeja, Lagos, western Nigeria on Tuesday before a gathering of professionals and respectable members of the society who constitute volunteers of the Special Traffic Mayors, also called for the abolishment of the Federal Housing Authority, FHA.
The governor said the LASTMA official caught negotiating bribe inside a citizen’s car had brought disgrace to the outfit and would be hunted down and prosecuted.
“I want to first salute the citizen that got the video of the LASTMA officer who was caught negotiating bribe inside a citizen’s car. We must all nail and shame him and we must all use that kind of medium to fish out all the bad eggs in the society and bring them to justice.
“That LASTMA officer is still on the run and we have declared him wanted. I can assure you today that we will get him. And as soon as we do, we will give him all his rights and he will have his day in court,” he vowed.
On skating, Fashola said he noticed that the youths had also taken to skating because the road is safe, saying government was not going to discourage them but that they should do that in designated places like recreation centres, stadia and others.
“They cannot skate on the highways. It is a violation of the traffic law 2010. I implore all parents to call their children and their wards to order because any child found skating on the highway will be arrested and will be brought to justice. It must stop today. Skating on the highways has to stop now. The danger is too much and it is the responsibility of the government to safe lives,” he stated.
On the position of the government concerning road development in FESTAC Town, Fashola explained that the state government was having an issue with the Federal government, pointing out that the taxes and land charges being collected by the FHA were being sent to Abuja.
“I have said that the Federal Housing Authority is an anathema to the current constitution. The Federal Government does not own land, so, I don’t see how it can have a housing authority. But it was created during the military and now that we are in a civilian dispensation, as I made a case on Saturday when we were in Sokoto, this is one of the laws that the National Assembly should simply amend or repeal to bring them in conformity with the current dispensation,” he said.
On LASTMA, the governor pointed out that its primary responsibility was to keep the state traffic moving, stressing that “this is the reason why the agency exists. Arresting traffic offenders is secondary. If making an arrest will increase the traffic, let the offenders go. I say this not because I don’t want law breakers to be apprehended and brought to justice. But law breakers cannot undermine our main objective.
“The longer people stay more in traffic, the more money is wasted and fuel are burnt and when people stay more in traffic, this leads to increase in the price of goods in the state. But with a moving traffic, price of goods will be stable.”
Fashola explained that the challenge of managing traffic in Lagos State necessitated the need for the meeting with the Special Traffic Mayors, while stressing the need to pay attention to road safety measures for the betterment of all.
“Over the last few days, we have begun to experience traffic gridlock within the state. There are couples of factors that we all must be aware. We promised to address inner roads and at the moment we have commenced work on 200 inner roads in the state. It shouldn’t be surprising that the construction is causing traffic in the state because these are areas where people are already living especially on Joel Ogunnaike, Kodesho and others.
“The access to those roads will definitely be impaired. That is part of the problem. Also, we are getting closer to the Christmas and New Year. At this time, there is heavy movement of people at the same time on the road,” he explained.
