MetalJigsaw:
No doubt about that. He's one of the bankers for World Cup.

Sure

MetalJigsaw:
2 Goals in 10 games. Clearly unimpressive

Na wa for some people ooooooo.

Humility017:
ajagun?
I still have reservations on him...
we need someone who can assist others to score goals....
how many assists for him this season?

how I wish yinka was AM.... that would have been settled...
please let's leave iwobi there for now...AM.
and replace his slot in the winger role...with either yinka or Henry

8 goals and 5 assists in 24 matches he played as an AMF.

Meaning, he contributed in 13 goals directly or indirectly in 24 matches. That's a good one coming from Ajagun.

Is there any Nigerian player that has contributed for a team in the AMF role in the whole wide World currently?

I don't think so.

Humility017:
you're right....I believe that injury will just rest ndidi for a while..he will definitely make it for the world cup....thank God the dude is still young....he will surely heal fast.

but I still fear for Moses Simon....
any good play from Henry or yinka should the latter two get to play for the super eagles... prior the release of the final list....

may erase Moses Simon chances....

a good outing for Henry or yinka in the GWG rohr will not overlook

Henry and Yinka are good but Moses Simon will definitely make the list.

E sure pass.

MetalJigsaw:
Zenith vs CSKA Moscow. Musa is in action.

Honestly, I prefer Musa going to the world Cup than other wingers fighting for his wing because he is experienced and talented.

Na sure banker em dey go world cup.

Humility017:
already? ....I thought rohr still haven't released the 23 man list....

please you and your Dad...should let Ighalo fight for his place...he is no messi or Ronaldo...

Ighalo, Mikel, Moses, Ndidi, Iheanacho, Onazi, Balogun, Troost etc are sure bankers.

Lucque:
If dat happens make we just jejely withdraw from the tournament becos we no go get 1single point without those guys...

Hahahahahaha! Walahi! Na true you talk.

I no go bother put hope again.

BascoVanVeli:
Ighalo with another beautiful finish!!

Another good News from our attack department.

They are on fire.

MetalJigsaw:
hello guys,

"I just read that Mikel, Moses, Ndidi to miss World Cup"

...Wait Let me make a confirmation

No dey play for here with dis kain play ooooooo. It is a very punishable offense ooooooo.

sontoly:
Olayinka with a goal today, this guy really deserved to be looked into, seriously.

That's a good one. Keep it up.

His club and Ajagun's club are really pushing for the Europa League.

I think I will support Ajagun's club to get it because Peter might likely return back to his parent club next season.

MetalJigsaw:
Simy Nwankwo with a goal for Crotone.

Crotone 3- 1 Sassuolo First Half

Modified: Simy with a brace. 3-1 Full Time!

Good one.

I think Rohr should also look his way since we are looking for 2 strikers.

Oliseh don talk am.

Ex-Nigeria Coach Raises Red Flag: Super Eagles Players Will Be Tired Before The World Cup

Published: April 28, 2018

Ex-Nigeria Coach Raises Red Flag: Super Eagles Players Will Be Tired Before The World CupEx-Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has warned of a potential danger ahead of the 2018 World Cup as he reckons that most of the key players in the squad will be fatigued heading into the tournament.

Important squad members such as Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi, Brian Idowu, Victor Moses and Abdullahi Shehu have played at least 27 games in all competitions for their respective clubs this term and this workload might affect their performance when the World Cup begins.

''I am very optimistic with this group. It is a young group and this season has been very tedious for most of the players,'' Oliseh told Channels Sports from Liege on Friday.

''I don't know if it is an advantage or disadvantage but most of our players are tired because of the season. I think and pray we'll be fresh for the tournament.''

The former Ajax Amsterdam, Borussia Dortmund and Juventus midfielder has advised that preparations must be prioritized and warned against a repeat of the controversies in the last World Cups.

''Our team, we can't lie to ourselves, preparation is very important, we have to prepare right. Secondly, let us hope we don't have infighting between the team,'' added Oliseh.

The Super Eagles will do battle with Croatia, Iceland and Argentina in Group D of the 2018 World Cup.

Journalist Claims KAA Gent Winger Moses Simon Forged Passport, Played In Niger For Three Years

Journalist Claims KAA Gent Winger Moses Simon Forged Passport, Played In Niger For Three YearsMohammed Suleiman of Liberty Radio 91.7 FM Kaduna claims KAA Gent winger Moses Simon falsified documents to get a fresh Nigerian passport before his transfer to Europe in 2014.

Suleiman has asserted that the Super Eagles star represented a club based in the Republic of Niger for three years and was certainly not eighteen years when he moved to AS Trencin in January 2014.

Simon's former Nigerian academy, Golden Boot Soccer Academy, was unaware of this fraud because the player falsified documents he presented to the club.

''I proved to the people backing Moses Simon that he is a Kaduna boy playing for Moderate Stars before he was bought by Aminchi Academy,'' Suleiman told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''I know a dirty secret about him, I can prove that he is above that age. Obviously, he was overage that's why he was dropped from U17s and promoted to U20s months later.

''He is not a bad player, he's very clever with the ball. Short, fast and skillful to the maximum but if he doesn't add a little bit of height which I doubt he will, then he will go missing soon.''

Suleiman added : ''Moses Simon is one of the ills of Manu Garba or should I tell the whole world he played in Niger for three years yet was claiming 18?".

Udeze Counters Oliseh On Argentina, Speaks On Eagles Top Striker Crisis

Published: April 28, 2018

Udeze Counters Oliseh On Argentina, Speaks On Eagles Top Striker Crisis. Former Super Eagles defender Ifeanyi Udeze believes Nigeria's group opponents at the 2018 World Cup, Argentina. will be one of the teams likely to reach the semifinals of the mundial.

Udeze was reacting to the opinion of former Eagles midfield maestro Sunday Oliseh who reckons that The Albiceleste will not be one of the four semifinalists in Russia.

Oliseh who starred at the USA 94 and France 98 World Cups had tipped Germany (world champions), Spain, France, Brazil, Egypt and Nigeria as likely to get to the last four stages of Russia 2018.

"That's Sunny's opinion (Argentina not reaching Russia 2018 semifinals) but if you ask me, I will add Argentina,'' the onetime West Brom left back stressed.

"Probably he (Oliseh) omitted them because of the way they have been playing badly without Lionel Messi but I will.

"Argentina have good players everywhere, at top clubs and playing them will not be easy."

On the need for Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr to try out some strikers in the friendlies against DR Congo (May 28), England (June 2) and Czech Republic (June 6) before the tournament starts, Udeze stated:

"It's not time for experiment in the team but we may try out one, two or three strikers in those friendlies because we know we have only one striker Odion Ighalo but in the friendlies we can see what these other strikers can do''.

Eagles coach Rohr has disclosed that the Eagles camp will open on May 21 in Nigeria as the team are billed to play DR Congo in Port Harcourt in a friendly on May 28.

Ok

Chuksonyeike:
In that case when INEC finishes their abracadabra we will spend another 12 months in the court while Dino will remain a distinguished senator of the FRN

It doesn't matter. The rule of law must take effect at the end of the day.

Reference:
Exactly. In the world of diplomacy leadership must raise poultry to feed the foxes if it wants to rid the country side of such savages. Even terrorists know this so they abduct, not for raw show of power but so they can have a currency of exchange. In a three way power equation there is no way you can win with all your pawns intact. You must make sacrifices to win. This win at no cost approach by the three arms has resulted in significant losses for them all. It is mere foolishness for each arm to try and destroy or debilitate the other arm. Granted stability is guaranteed in diametric tension but it all should be done under the canopy of the rule of law. In this we have not matured. All these 'my way or total destruction' is symptomatic of political toddling which is getting us nowhere.

Well said but what is the way out?

potent5:
"See who tackled who". I hope these tackles are very ugly so the victims can sustain serious one year injuries as in football.

To come chop.

Reference:
Nobody obeys laws in Nigeria so nothing will happen. The Executive does not obey laws, the Legislators donot, even the Judiciary does not obey laws. Just a lawless country.

Hence the anarchy.

HAH:
I am telling you that judiciary is not interpret but the fact they the SP is mandated by the constitution to conclude the process and even if we follow the judiciary angle you will agree with me that it will not end up to the end of the present senate thereby making the whole thing an academic exercise.

Inec and Yahaya Bello should not waste their money on something that is destined to be futile

That is your own interpretation but others have different opinions.

In such case, it's the Judiciary that must interpret the constitutional not you, SP or Ekweremandu..

Even if it doesn't end up with this present Senate, it can be used in future if such scenerio pop up.

HAH:
constitutionally the SP is to perform the last function of a recall, have you not seeing a member who eon a case but was refused being sworn in to house by the speaker until the case was finally exhausted at the supreme court in the case of Hembe Herman

The Judiciary will decide, even if the decision must come from the Supreme Court.


Ekweremandu interpretation is inconsequential.

HAH:
but he is the DSP who is empowered to enforce recall in the absence of the SP constitutionally

We practice three tiers of government in order to limit and balance powers.

The Legislative makes laws
The Judiciary interprets the law
The Executive executes and enforces the law


Ekweremandu belongs to the legislative and therefore, not empowered to interpret or execute the law.

If the legislature refuses to act, the Executive will enforce the law by getting interpretation from the Judiciary before taken actions based on the judgement from judiciary.

It is beyond Ekweremandu or Salaki.

HAH:
By Uche Anichukwu

I have followed the mixed opinions on the comments by the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu on how very difficult it will be to recall Senator Dino Melaye from the Senate. Some claim that the 1999 as amended does not envisage any role for debate in the entire process. However, this position is constitutionally flawed.

The problem is that many people just read Section 69 of the Constitution and end it there.

Beside being a senior lawyer, Ekweremadu chaired the National Assembly Committee that midwifed the amendments regarding the recall process. So, if he does not understand the position of the Constitution on the recall process, then I just wonder.

Section 69 of the 1999 Constitution is not the only Section that guides the process of the recall of a member of the Senate or the House of Representatives.

Section 69 (a) stipulates that a petition shall be signed by at least one-half of persons registered to vote in the member’s constituency, alleging loss of confidence in that member. It also stipulates that the INEC shall verify the signatures.

Then, if INEC is satisfied that the signature are authentic, then the Commission goes to effect Section 69 (b), which is the conduct of a referendum within ninety days of the date of the receipt of the petition. A simple majority of votes of persons registered to vote in the member’s constituency is required for the recall to pass.

But, that is not the end of the matter because this Section goes hand-in-hand with Section 68 of the Constitution. Section 68 (1) lists conditions based on which a member of the Senate or the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in the House of
which he is a member. One of the conditions is recall of a member.

Then, Section 68 (1) (h) of the Constitution (as amended) provides that a member of either of the Houses shall vacate his seat if “the President of the Senate or, as the case may be, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, receives a certificate under the hand of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission stating that the provisions of Section 69 of this Constitution have been complied with in respect of the recall of a member”.

But Section 68 (2) further provides that “The President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, shall give effect to the provisions of subsection (1) of this Section, so however that the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives or a member shall first present evidence satisfactory to the House concerned that any of the provisions of that subsection has become applicable in respect of that member”.

So, the key words and phrases in Section 68 (2) are ‘give effect’ and ‘satisfactory evidence’.

It simply implies that if no effect is given by the President of the Senate, it ends as an academic exercise. And if the evidence given is not satisfactory to the Senate; if majority of the Senators vote “Nay” when Saraki puts to question if they were satisfied with the evidence presented by INEC (which Senators are also at liberty to consider in the context of the integrity of the processes that led to the the evidence), how does the Senate President bring it to effect? It ends up, as Ekweremadu put it “an effort in futility”, the hundreds of millions spent on it by INEC notwithstanding.

In the meantime, Senator Dino has alleged that even the name of a dead former governorship aspirant in Kogi as well as his uncles’ names were listed and signatures appended to them in the petition to INEC asking for his recall. That alone could bring the integrity of the process to question.

All these are captured in Section 3 of the 1999 Alteration Act, perfected by 6th National Assembly and signed into law as part of our Constitution (as amended) and signed into law by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Thus, it would have been better if people sift through or interrogate the Constitution rather than just rely on their emotions or just read one part and go to town with it.

In summary, Ekweremadu meant that the recall of a legislator is akin to impeachment of an executive office holder. If it is not rigid, it will be abused, especially in a political environment like ours. Thus, while impeachment, not the ones done by abuse of power, law enforcement agencies, and other critical institutions of democracy, is not impossible, it is very difficult if the rules are religiously observed.

Meanwhile, I believe that the end result of the attempt to recall Senator Dino will prove Ekweremadu right or wrong. It is not a matter of emotions. It is about the law, the grundnorm for that matter.

Anichukwu is an Aide to the Deputy President of the Senate

Ekweremandu is not empowered to interpret the law hence his interpretation is inconsequential.

Why are you like this na. Didn't you see where maidaboi mentioned it and tbaba1234 right above your post?
