Politics › Re: Breaking News: Buhari Sacks More Than 200 Eastern Army loyal To Jonathan by forgiveness: 7:23am On Jun 11, 2016
chairo:
[i][/i]There embarassed are indications on Friday, June 11, 2016 that about 200 military officers may have been sacked by the federal government through text messages (SMS) over their alleged loyalty to former President Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 general elections.

They affected officers were said to have been carefully selected for backing Jonathan during the last 2015 general election.

Further checks in the military establishment in Abuja, also hinted that military officers who were believed to be loyal to the former national security adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki were also affected in the mass sacking.

The list showed that they were mainly from the South East, South South and a small percentage of them were from the North Central region of the country.

The development which is already causing some ripples in the military, according to political analysts, could cost the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration public goodwill.

A source said, “It is being seen as an act of ethnic card to checkmate those officers who were seen as posing danger to the Federal Government and it was resolved in the Presidency that they should be weeded out.”

But the concern as some observers also said was the implication of the sack on the psyche of the military institution and the public which was felt capable of truncating the nation’s democracy as the “systematic sacking “ of over 200 top military officers mainly from the southern part of the country was a decision difficult to defend by the federal government.

“The affected officers were sent text messages relieving them of their jobs and they were directed to pick their sack letters at specific locations without any reason given for terminating their appointments,” said a source in the Presidency which pleaded anonymity.

According to the source, the move allegedly masterminded by “some hawks“ in the presidency was aimed at weeding out all officers who were perceived to be loyal to the last regime and deemed to have played one role or the other favourable to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in the last presidential election.

“The game plan is to remove all vestiges of the old regime, particularly those officers considered to be too intelligent and smart to challenge the status quo.

“Buhari is weary of being toppled a second time, given his ugly past experience. But unknown to him, this latest move of indiscriminate sacking of senior and middle level officers has divided the military and created rumblings in some quarters”, the source stated.

If what is written here is true then something is fishing and your guess is as good as my and anyone seeing this from my angel.

This will further bring to conclusion the fears of many and it will help to divide Nigeria in the hearts of Nigerians even before Nigeria divides.

Mickael2:
I am trying to answer you but it looks more annoying. So the turkish league is crap? Fernabache, Gallatasary and the likes are hopeless teams? Which teams are in the eredivise? Ajax? European punching bags? Psv? Because of one good season where they actually lost in the Round of 16? Nawa o. Which other club exists there? You are forgetting also that Omeruo played for Ado Den Haag once and he was their best player for that season. So he has been there and he has done it well. Atleast you agreed that Ekong is now on par with Leon and Otigba or isn't that what you mean?

Alba has played as a winger before, play him there now and you will see how hopeless he will be. Mikel was our Amf once, play him there now and see the rubbish. Bale was once a leftback, play him there now. Drogba was once a defender,play him there now. Yaya toure was once a striker, play him there now. Your point is baseless. I have never seen him playing as an AMF myself but okay, maybe he played there when he was in secondary school, i don't know. But this season and last season, he DID NOT play as an Amf for Lazio, except if you know better than whoscored.com. His past position does not matter now, we are talking about the present.

What's the name of Madu's team since you have seen him playing before? Echejile played 18 league matches, 6 were substitute appearances, he was subbed out in 4 others, so much for being so good. 18 matches out of 38, that's 20 matches on the bench. He is a bench warmer, a serious CHAIRman. Constant football improves sharpness and Madu and Oshaniwa both have that right now and that's all that matters.

Onazi is better than John Ogu as a Cmf? That's dead wrong Sir. Even Lukman haruna plays better than Onazi in that CMF role not DMF.

Ighalo has played with Victor Moses and Iwobi( who are our two best AMFs as at now) and he didn't perform well with either of them. So should we reshuffle our entire team just to suit one player? Or replace a single player so as to suit the team? He can't play with iwobi and Moses then he has to shift for now.

I don't have anything against Otigba, he is average or above that slightly but not good enough to displace omeruo or ekong. Do you know the funny part? Otigba and Leon both play thesame foot, so how will they now play together? Omeruo is a sure bet cause he can play with his left, so he is certain. And we can't have 3 right footed CBs and just one left footed CB, so Awaziem comes in for Otigba.

You sef fit score goals for Austria? How many goals you don score for Nigerian league? The highest goals return in our belle face football league prior to two seasons ago was 15. He scored 14 or 15 goals in his first season in Austria. Abeg say the truth na. Even Ideye didn't score so much in the Greek league. Austria is going to the Euros mainly with their local league players. Greek local league players didn't make it to the Euro. Check it na
Is Omeruo playing for Galatasary or Fernabachi? No

How do you rate him about a player who played against best clubs in the world and in one of the best leagues in the world.

So, you mean clubs in Turkey league will trash Ajax?

Apart from Galasatary and Fernaberchi Turkish league can't be compared with the Eredivisie. Fact.

Omeruo did well but was demoted to the Turkish league, that is not a good compliment.

Leon Balogun and Kenneth Otigba are not in the same levels with Troost-Ekong. Fact.

Onazi played as an attacking midfielder for Lazio two seasons ago. I saw it with my two koro koro eyes. No bi dem say.

I have not seen Madu play for his club but I have seen him played for the National team. He was dropped because he was bullied and beaten several times in his last match.

Echiejile bench warmer! shocked grin What will you call father Mikel? shocked grin and he is in ya first eleven. shocked grin Don't you think constant football improves sharpness?ayeee!

Look at his statistics very well and you will see he played 20 league matches this season. If you remove that 20 from 38 it will remain 18. Waoh! The first choice last season is gradually losing his place to Echiejile. Chai! grin

If you say John Ogu is better than Onazi, it your opinion and you are entitled to it.


So, you think Leon Balogun and Kenneth Otigba can't use their left legs?

Kayode no go smell my team for now. No too much story.

first of all, Mikel benched Essien, and Mikel wasn't even a DMF initially so I don't know why Essien can't be benched.
So Shevchenko was wonderful for Chelsea? So Torres was great for Chelsea? So Alex Song has been wonderful for Barcelona? Do you know who Douglas Pereira is? He is a barca player, he was bought from Brazil. I can name 100 players that were bought but didn't play well for big clubs, so you can't say that a big club equates to a good player
Is Shevchenko a poor player?

Is Torres who helped Chelsea to score one million dollar goal a poor player? grin

Is Alex Song a poor player?

Is Fabrigase a poor player? grin

Is Robben a poor player? grin

Is Kaka of Real Real Madrid a poor player? grin

If I begin to mention world class players who flopped at one point, you go tire.

Echiejile has not been deemed flop in Monaco. Meaning he was a good buy. But we never hear Madu don dey market for big clubs to buy. Meaning scout no see am?

They were poor players in top clubs. No matter how you try to spin it. Sinclair is a poor player but he played for Chelsea and Man City.
Yes, they are very poor players who never lasted more than one season but Echiejile just concluded his second season and he is going into the third season. You can spot the difference.

Mickael2:
Your comments are based on the clubs alone. Do you watch the Turkish league? No, because if you do,you would not say such about Omeruo. Omeruo was CONSISTENTLY good this season. Leon lost his spot on the Mainz team at some part of the season, Ekong played every single game,i watch his games on youtube,almost all of them. Did you see Leon when we played against Mali? He was making silly mistakes,so much for him being the best defender we have. And don't get me started on Otigba please.

'in the eyes of the world, Echejile is the best leftback we have', which eyes?! Sir, can you please tell me how many games Echejile started this season. At some point he was only playing in the Europa league alone. Just check what happened in France today, Martial who plays for Manu was benched for Payet. During the match, Pogba who plays for Juve was subbed instead of Payet, who won the match? Payet. Sentiments, so because you do not know his club right? Well that's about it. Just remind me who was our best defender in that...wait a minute, do you even know the match he played for Nigeria? And Oshaniwa too?! Guy, you need to start watching matches before you decide. Just admit that you haven't seen Madu playing before, because he is absolutely fatanstic defensively and even better going forward, and Oshaniwa is better than Echejile by a mile.

Onazi plays as an attacking midfielder for Lazio?! Sir, you need to watch these matches. He always plays as the DMF! You didn't watch the Afcon either, because if you did, you would have noticed that it was even Mikel who was playing as the CMF for us, Onazi was predominantly defensive. Please, a defensive midfielder does not mean the person does not attack ever, it means he is predominantly concerned with defending!

John Ogu is slow? Kroos is not the fastest player in the world is he? I guess that makes him a bad CMF right? Great logic. I won't even reply this.

Based on form Ighalo is better? Based on which form? Form for Nigeria? Have you seen Ighalo playing for Nigeria or you just hear about it? We have given him his chance, he has failed to impress at all so we should give other people their own chance. Kayode was the third highest goalscorer in his Austrian league, Stoke city want him right now if not for his work permit, Anthony Ujah is no longer a starter for Bremen, he lost his spot towards the end of the season.

I have watched Panathinaikos games, I have seen Abdul, I won't doubt the fact that he is very very good, but watch Ibrahim,he is better. The last match that Ibrahim played for Nigeria he was very very good. If we invite both it won't be a crime because Abdul can play as a more attack-minded CMF, but if we must pick one as our back-up AMF it has to be Ibrahim
In addition, the league and performance is the deciding factor.

Omeruo was consistently good in the the Turkish league but it can't be compared with the Bundesliga and Eredivisie where we have our players. Gbam!

Leon Balogun played consistently for his club this season. He was only restrained due to injury at the end of the season. We know na. He never lost his position due to lack of performance. His statistics are there to see. 21 matches out of....


Who caused the goal against Luxembourg?
Troost-Ekong played very very well for em em.. this season mean he is per with Leon Balogun and Kenneth Otigba. You know know. Levels no be the same.

Wetin do Otigba?

I repeat Onazi had played for Lazio as an attacking midfielder. It was where he played before he was promoted to the senior team. And he played in that position seldomly for Lazio. This one I know because I monitored him after John Obuh lost the finals. I have seen him played in that position.

I have seen Madu played countless times but I still rate Echiejile higher than him. Monaco no be beans

Echiejile started 18 good league matches for Monaco this season. So, what are you talking about? Is that fair enough or better playing 50 matches in Slovakia? grin

Where Payet dey play? Obviously, not Slovakia na?

John Ogu is good but Onazi is better. Simple.

Kayode might not enter reserve team not to talk of the main National team. Meself fit score goalsssssss grin for Austria na.


Ighalo needs a natural Attacking midfielder behind him..

If you bring Ibrahim I go still take because I am his fan.

When did you ask player bought? However, Tal Ben Haim, Sidwell and Mineiro were poor players bought by Chelsea. Jeffers was a poor player bought by Arsene Wenger to Arsenal.
Tal Ben Haim performed wonderful well for his Israeli club by helping them to win the league and he replicated when came to Bolton. He was Okocha deputy captain. We know he was noticed because he played well in the EPL and Europa League. And even when Chelsea bought him he performed well too but could not bench John Terry, Richardo Carlvaho and Alex. Where you expecting him to break into that team? He also clashes with coaches and players. So, you know what that means in the Premier League.


Sidwell - do you expect him to bench the one time second and third best players in the world? grin Lampard and Essien? grin You self think am well na. grin

Mineiro was bought to play as a third= choice defensive midfielder to Mikel and Essien.

So, what are we talking about? These players have one thing in common. They never stayed beyond one season but Echiejile is going to his third season this year.

You can spot the difference.

3. Elderson Echejiele: It’s very obvious that Echejiele hasn’t regained his form and composure on the ball after the lengthy injury that sidelined him for weeks prior to the World Cup in Brazil.

The best scenario would have been for Keshi not to have invited the former Wikki Tourist defender for this crucial game and allow him to heal completely and rack up some games for current club AS Monaco before considering him.

Echejiele was woeful at the back and lacked composure to aim and shoot the target with the opportunities he had going forward.

you are going to start Leon Balogun and Otigba ahead of Omeruo and Ekong? Why not just put Ambrose there too?

Echejile ahead of Oshaniwa and Madu? Please Sir, have you ever seen Kingley Madu playing football? An honest question Sir.

Onazi starts as your CMF?! Have you seen Onazi's passing statistics? The guy's passing is poor, apart from a DMF, he can't do much going forward. His long balls are poor,through balls? Abysmal, and you want to push him up the field to go and do what?! Another honest question Sir, have you seen John Ogu playing football? Only God knows the kind of coach you would be. Your sentiments are too much, Ighalo should not start ahead of Ideye or even get invited ahead of him, the sooner we started inviting Kayode the better and I can also assure you that Rabiu Ibrahim has been doing better than Adbul Ajagun.

Finally I have a startimes decoder, I have watched Leon this season, he has played as the LB some times, I dare say most times. I don't know sha but that your team will lose every single match
First of all, I rate players based on club their play, the League, performance and finally talent.

Based on these criteria, I don't think you can compare Leon Balogun with Kenneth Omeruo nor with Troost-Ekong neither can you compare Kenneth Otigba with Kenneth Omeruo nor Troost-Ekong. No sentiment attached.

Echiejile is currently the best LB Nigerian player in the eyes of the World. Then how can he be worse than Oshaniwa and Madu?

What is the name of Madu's club and where it located in the world map? grin Chai! I can't see.

I have seen him play several times but I noticed he is not good at defending and he can't withstand physical or skilful players.

In what position does Onazi play in Lazio? Sometimes as an attacking midfielder.

No be dat combination win us AFCON? grin

John Ogu is very good but very slow for a very fast and mobile midfielder.

Ideye-brown is good but Ighalo for now is better. All he needs is a creative midfielder behind him.

We have Brown Ideye, Kelechi Iheanacho, Odion Ighalo, Anthony Ujah etc na which one Kayode go fit bench?


Rabiu Ibrahim could not take his chances when given hence hmmm! grin make I never talk. Abdul Ajagun is a baller. Give him the chance and you will see what he is capable of doing.

More defensive than he would’ve liked, Echiejile ensured that the opposition couldn’t create opportunities down the left. Struggled at times with Bance, the number three improved as the match wore on before falling down to injury.

You can see them highlighting Echiejile struggling with Bance, although he coped better as time went. Although this is not one of Echiejile's poor games, he still struggled.

Echiejile had more poor games than Oshaniwa, offensively and defensively under Coach Keshi.

How come Oshaniwa can not get a better club if he's that good?

Playing for Sporting Braga in the Portuguese Primeira Liga and in the Champions League is not beans na?

Why play Echiejile on the left back role who can not cross to save his life. Oshaniwa is better. If not for ths sacking of Coach Keshi, Oshaniwa had taken that position for good.

Nigerian coaches are just being unfair denying Oshaniwa his chances. If Oshaniwa plays, he will outperform Echiejile.

Oshaniwa - Left Back.
Well, I have seen both of them play but I will prefer Echiejile to Oshaniwa because he can defend better than Oshaniwa. And that is the primary role of LB.

Supersport9 was showing highlights of our Afcon2013 and you could see how Enyeama was tirelessly organizing his defence,that trait is not found in Ikeme but he is a good GK still.My suggestion would be to blood in Alampasu,he is 18 now or so,if he can become our first choice in 2 years time, then not only will he continue to improve,but even before he gets to 25, he would have been a constant figure and our defenders would respect him and obey him. I also think that the Enyimba goalie is better than Ezenwa, not Femi Thomas, the other guy. Does anyone know where Dani Paul is?!

Your right back and left back choices are spot on. Odubajo and Madu are the best we can think of now so no arguments there. Then in the CB dept, you made mention of Ambrose and Obaobona, no no no please, not those two. Oboabona i can manage but Ambrose?He looks more like TB Joshua than an actual footballer, scrap him please? We have Gbenga Arokoyo and one young blood who plays for Barca's team B. I watched most of the BarcaB games in the segunda division and he was decent, clearly not a starter because let's face it, Omeruo and Ekong are our future right about now so he will just be a bench piece. Also i would not include Leon Balogun in the 'CB list'. He is a right back,we should stop playing people out of position, and he would provide decent competition for Odubajo, Musa is still too young and inexperienced and he is not better than them either.

The midfield gets tricky,I think we only have enough room for either Mikel OR Onazi not the two. No matter the formation that the coach chooses to implement, we can't have them both in a 23-man squad. If we play a double pivot like we normally do(which I do not like), it has to be Ndidi and Mikel, if we play a single pivot then none of them should be in the team or maybe Mikel can get the nod ahead of Ndidi now while Ndidi gains the experience he needs for the future, but Mikel and Onazi won't work in a limited list. Then Etebo,he should try to move into the striking position,your list was quite short of AMFs which we badly need now.Only Iwobi is decent there as an Amf(please don't say Michael Babatunde,I'm still not a fan). And that's where we need the scouts to work because we can't go about with only one Amf. In my dream midfield, we would replicate Barca's midfield, Mikel as the true DMF(Busquets), Ogu as the work horse(I don't know if Ndidi can play as the box to box CMF) and Iwobi as the flair and attacking player(Iniesta's role). You can flip it to Madrid too,their midfield works thesame way, all good teams implement thesame style these days,so playing two DMFs does not work anymore.So if our team has to contain 6 mids, I would go for Ogu, Ndidi,Mikel,Iwobi,Babatunde and Yahaya(the last two are bench pieces and Yahaya can cover for almost any of the midfield positions)

The striking dept is extremely tricky. But i would include Kayode over Ighalo for example(you remember Kayode right?). And also Musa is not clinical for Nigeria, I remember the one he did in that Afcon2013 final, he was sent through on goal and he fell down with no one close to him,lol! All in all we are blessed with enough talent, I didn't even mention Azubuike, Rabiu Ibrahim and so many others, we just need the right formation to click!
Sir, pls be informed that Leon Balogun is central Defender and not right back though he is comfortable playing in that position.

I have been following Leon Balogun since 2010 or there about. So, l know what l am talking about.

He actually started as a defensive midfielder before he was converted to central back and that was where he played before he was converted to RB by his last club.

He continued in that position in his present club but was later restored to his favourite position. Currently, he plays as a CB for his club.


Now, let me arrange from goalkeeper to attack.

Goalkeeper: Carl Ikeme
Substitute Alampasu and Daniel (Under 23 goalkeeper)

RB: Moses Odubanjo
Substitute: Tyronne Ebuehi

LB: Echijiele
Substitute: Oshaniwa

CB: Leon Balogun and Kenneth Otigba
Substitute: Kenneth Omeruo and Troost-Ekong


DMF: Mikel Obi
Substitute: Ndidi

CM: Onazi
Substitute: Raheem Lawal

AM: Alex Iwobi
Substitute: Abdul Ajagun

LW: Victor Moses
Substitute: Ahmed Musa

RW: Simon Moses
Substitute: Isaac Success or Ezekiel Imoh

Attackers/Strikers: Kelechi Iheanacho and Odion Ighalo.


The rest should brace up and fight for shirt.

Lol this guys are based on hit and run and not conventional military
Were I will know we have a problem is when militants start taking over communities, and there location is know

And hit and run is a method that can never win any war

It's takes time to decode (because that's the real job) once u do that the rest is easy
Maybe you are wrong. Rwanda rebel forces used hit and run to overthrow a sitting Government.
