Iwobi good assist

BascoVanVeli:
The national FA is funded by federal government it is the same thing. If FIFA wants to be fair they would ensure the whole thing is completely taken out of the hands of the government.

In Africa it is a normal thing for the National Governments to fund FA activities. FIFA understands this but yet they still do not want government interference except as mentioned in the area of funding.

The prophet has simply taken his time to read the writing on the wall

You see, we need to tell ourselves the truth..All things being equal, removing Buhari will only be possible if our laws are changed to allow presidents rule for only one term..and it's too late

That's how one prophet from Ghana prophesied recently that the next president of Nigeria will have his name starting with "S"...it has to be Sai baba

Sai Baba abi Saraki?

BascoVanVeli:
Yes there is. Pinnick was Delta FA boss because he was the chairman of warrri wolves. The government gave him that job and who will go against the state government in elections?

Well, that is it. State FAs mostly depend on state government's funding. He who pays the piper dictates the tune but I don't think FIFA has any issues with state government appointing State FA chairmen.

What FIFA cares more about is the national FA.

BascoVanVeli:
I don't think I saw any hate speech from you but others have not been so nice.

I know he has been poor but the hate was too much. The value of a man shows when he falls and stands back up. Ighalo has shown his mental strength, most players would have been feeling sorry for themselves but not Ighalo. We are not Rohr so why can't we acknowledge the man. It is not like saying the guy try will automatically give him an invite.

Wait, so you believe because he has scored 1 goal in China now he has resurrected?

2022 is a long time from now. Let's start building a new striking force abeg. This Chinese delicacy don tire me.

BascoVanVeli:
At the state level? But FIFA says there should be no government involvement. I think Jay Jay Okocha had that post in Delta.

We are in trouble because most state chairmen are chairmen of NPFL clubs and we see their "great work".

State FA level. No government involvement in this.

BascoVanVeli:
That guy that most people hate scores another goal.

Ighalo issa goal

Nobody hates Ighalo.

We only hate the fact that he has not been giving us (the national team) good goals returns.

He can score 1000 goals in the Chinese league this season, if he likes, but what I care about is his goals returns for the GWG.

BascoVanVeli:
Ok thanks but please sir do u know what the criteria is to be able to run for the NFF boss? Why are our ex internationals always left out?

The eligibility of a candidate for the post of NFF chairman is as enshrined in Article 12 of the NFF communiqué. One of such requirements is that one vying for the post must be a Serving or past member of the NFF executive committee. Executive committee members are State Chairmen. Meaning you must have served as a state chairman or currently serving as one.

So my brother, the politics starts from the state level.

BascoVanVeli:
I would ave wanted someone like him to head the NFF.

He had always nursed that ambition but seems he is aiming at something higher now.

Correctgist:
The Edo State Police Command on Friday, paraded a 14-year-old girl, who allegedly killed her septugenarian madam in Benin, Edo State by smashing her head with a stone.

Anna Amos, a secondary school student was arrested by the police on Tuesday, for the murder of 71-year-old Hellen Adodo, whom she had lived with since March, 2018, as a house-maid.


Anna, from Abuja, gave the step-by-step description of how she committed the murder, when she was paraded alongside 101 other criminal suspects arrested by the police.

The teenager who was in tears all thorough the period, narrated how her victim had treated her fairly all the years she lived with her.

She however blamed her dastardly act on influence of unseen voodoo spirit which possessed her.


According to the suspect, in the morning of that fateful day, she boiled water for the deceased to bathe, after which she served her her meal, before she killed her.
“After that?, I packed the dirty plates outside to wash them. As I opened the door and stepped on the varanda, something just came into my body as if possessing me. I no longer know what I was doing and I abandoned the plates? I was supposed to wash. I stood on the stone, and later took it, went inside with it and hit it on her head,” she narrated.


"I do not know what entered my body. It was a spirit. It told me to go and kill her. She did not offend me.” she added.
The deceased was initially reported to have died after her head was smashed with a stone by unknown persons who allegedly sneaked into her residence on Guobadia Street, in Benin, at about 7am. The assailants suposedly blindfolded the teenage suspect before killing the septuagenarian.


When asked why she earlier said some people came into their house, gagged her mouth before smashing the head of the late woman, Anna blamed her dastardly act on influence of unseen voodoo spirit which possessed her.
“The thing that entered into me was controlling me, it told me that if I expose it, it will kill me.”
She later confessed her crime to the son of the deceased, who handed her to the police operatives.


A clip obtained by journalists on Wednesday showed the teenager confessing to the crime in the presence of some residents in the area.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Chidi Nwabuzor, had stated that the Command received a distress call over the matter at about 8:30 am.


Nwabuzor also disclosed that the case had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation.
“At about 8:30 am, the Divisional Police Officer of New Etete Police Station received a distress call that the woman in question was murdered. The DPO went there and found her lifeless body in her house in a pool of blood from the head region and a stone close to the body. The (distress) caller said that two men came into the residence, murdered the woman and went away. The DPO went there with operatives only to find the body on the ground in a pool of blood from the head region.


Then on investigation, it was revealed today that a girl who was staying with her, named Anna Amos, who came from the North with the help of the daughter of the late woman, was the one that killed the woman.


“Confession was made by this Anna Amos that she actually killed the woman. Anna Amos is 14 years old and by law, she is still a minor. But we will do all we can to see what we can do. We will not rely on the confession of that girl because she might not be the one responsible for the killing of that woman.

According to investigation, the woman has been going through a lot of challenges with her health and before her death, she was down with a stroke. Perhaps somebody else did and asked this little girl to own up as the culprit. So, investigation in ongoing. We will try our best to unravel the situation and the report will be made public,” Nwabuzor said.

Something is fishy here.

Some one must have threatened her to confess to the crime.

Baba is just looking for title of a "former governorship aspirant" to his name

Time will tell bro. Anything is possible.

If I was in Ogun State I would not only vote for him I will personally campaign for him.

And who says Labour Party cannot win in Ogun State. After all Labour Party through Segun Mimo once won in Ondo state.

Mathematical7 For Governor Ogun State.

Kog45:
Oga humility let's take it easy on Moses.

He has done his best for Nigeria in his chosen profession and achiecved a lot which i think average football fans must appreciate but really surprised seeing gurus here trying to downplay his achievement.

If i don't remember anything i remember his awesome contribution during 2018 WC qualification matches.

Super eagles legend or not is debatable cos personally i don't see Kanu Nwankwo as super eagles legend but to a lot he is super eagles legend.

I don't think anyone is downplaying Moses' contributions to the SE. No doubt he is one of our best players in the last 5-6 years. But the discussion is on whether he is one of our legends of all time. Does he belong to that class?

Joebie:
Well I have my own way of defining it. I’m not a TYPICAL Nigerian, that can swear anything out of sentiments.

As regards your example, Nigeria’s golden generation were the first to take us to the World Cup. You can hardly mention Nigerian football without talking about that 94 set which was a culmination of Westehof’s building for about 5 years. IMO our most impressive players in that era will definitively make the list of Super Eagles legends, and of course together with other iconic players before their era. These names would be first names to be mentioned for a long time to come BECAUSE OF THEIR EXPLOITS IN THE GREEN WHITE GREEN.

Modified
Yekini was very well celebrated even before Tunisia 94. I remember as a child always hearing his name. I didn’t know him until after the World Cup lol.

But yes talking about legends, let people who really followed the game and know the history speak — Iconic monikers like icon4s (pun unintended) and Kog45

I have previously made my list of legends and would only want to add two omissions to the list: Muda Lawal and Joseph Yobo.

Okonkwo!!! Hooooooh!!!!!!

Ebube Dike Hooooooh!!!!

elyte89:
So na only one match we play for AFCON 2013,we no play group stage or knockout phase

Sunday Mba also rescued us against CIV. If you tag Moses a legend because of 2013 AFCON then Mba is also a legend. That is his point.

Osinbajo should please sack that useless Dalung . This embarrassment is too much.


World’s Football governing body, FIFA have turned down a proposed visit by a Nigerian delegation, led by the Minister for Sports, Solomon Dalung in a bid to discuss the ongoing leadership tussle rocking the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Nigeria are facing a race against time to avoid a worldwide ban from football after FIFA gave Nigeria until Monday, August 20, 2018 to handover the administration and offices of the Football Federation to Amaju Pinnick and his Secretary, Mohammed Sanusi.
In a bid to circumvent FIFA’s judgment,
www.aclsports.com exclusively scooped that Dalung wrote to FIFA on Wednesday, August 15, through the office of the Nigerian Ambassador to Switzerland, seeking to meet with the FIFA President Gianni Infantino alongside members of his reconciliatory committee and Chris Giwa, head of the other faction.
However, FIFA, in a swift reply to Dalung’s request, signed by its Secretary General Fatma Samoura and made available to
www.aclsports.com rejected the idea while reiterating the stance of the Bureau Council of FIFA to ban Nigeria on Monday if they fail to do as requested.
“While we are aware of the seriousness and urgency of the matter, we regret to inform you that we are not in a position to respond favourably to your request for an appointment with the FIFA Ieadership. In fact, the FIFA President is indisposed during the proposed period,” stated FIFA in their response.

Those on Dalung’s proposed delegation to Zurich include; Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Youth and Sports Olusade Adesola, former NFA Chairmen, Ibrahim Galadima and Anthony Kodjo Williams, former NFF Secretary General Bolaji Ojo Oba, Amaju Pinnick, Mohammed Sanusi and Chris Giwa.
“Moreover, we would Iike to recall that one member of the proposed delegation, Mr Chris Giwa, is currently under a worldwide ban, in accordance with the decision of the FIFA DiscipIinary Committee dated 10 January 2017 to extend the five—year ban from taking part in any kind of footbaII-related activity imposed by the Nigeria FootbaIl Federation’s (NFF) Disciplinary Committee on 12 May 2016,” added FIFA.
The governing body also reminded the Minister that the only channel with which it relates to its member bodies is through the legitimate Football Federation and advised him not to use other means in the future.
“We would Iike to emphasise that we normally communicate with and through our member associations, in this case the NFF under its Iegitimate President Amaju Melvin Pinnick.
“Consequently, we would be grateful to have any future correspondence be routed through the NFF directly,” said FIFA.
The Nigerian government have been making efforts to ensure that Nigeria escapes the FIFA hammer and the Acting-President, Yemi Osinbajo has held meetings with the NFF President Pinnick and with the rival Chris Giwa on resolving the impasse. It remains to be seen to what effect or reason the Minister’s latest move is hinged on.

Okonkwo is back in the first team of Bologna

Good one.

brunofarad:
Hi
Sorry for not replying on whatsapp, was in a meeting with clients


Your messages must have been duely replied by now ..pls check your whatsapp thanks


FARAD

No issues here. You have been responding, I was only responding to Kaybthaniels comments on me not responding to his messages on whatsapp.

BTW are you one and same person or two different people?

tbaba1234:
Jerome Akor (under 20 forward) passed his trial with Norwegien Club Sognal and has been signed on loan from Jamba Academy, Kaduna.

Good one.

Kaybthaniels:
It's not me oo or maybe that message hasn't come through yet.

Who then operates the WhatsApp number 08062873386?

isan:
Nigeria the better team In the second half

Which game did you watch?

They were so uncoordinated, running upandan without doing anything meaningful with the ball.

Kaybthaniels:
Oga you are not responding to your messages on WhatsApp.

Nops. We have been chatting. I was the one that told you I preferred a single color. And gave you an example with a stamped wall.

ChrisKels:
We are done. Spain is too big for us

The players are lacking in quality.

chrisooblog:
boss you can't abrogate and reprobate at the same time. you said victor moses is not worthy of being called a legend because he didn't win apoty but when i highlighted some great nigerian players who didn't win you then said apoty is not the only determining factor so boss which is which

False. How can I say so when I have players who didn't win it listed among my Legends.

The comparison was simply between Kanu and Moses.

chrisooblog:
yes true but you brought the apoty award into the equation . even at that odegbami never won, christian chukwu never won [b][/b] but would you say kanu was more ''legendary'' than them

Oga, it is not just all about winning the APOTY, after-all, Finidi, Okocha, and Keshi, never won the award yet they are classified as Legends.

Citing Kanu winning the APOTY award while Moses never won it is just highlighting one area Kanu trumps Moses.

chrisooblog:
el hadji diof won 2 apoty back to back was he better than okocha, benni mcCharty, aboutrika who never won one?

Those are Legends in their respective countries.

We are talking Nigeria here.

tbaba1234:
None are legends tbh. Ikpeba goals against Brazil, Bulgaria and Tunisia were memorable .

Against Brazil, his goal gave us a way back into the game.

Against Bulgaria, His goal took us to the second round of the WC.

His goals helped secure a win in the 2000 Afcon opening game.

Victor Ikpeba was APOTY 1997.

edi287:
Based on his club form.

Make me up when Kanu scores and makes team of the tournament in either AFCON or WC

Yes, you will continue to sleep. Maybe till when Kanu's son does that.

edi287:
Kanu never performed at major tourneys with the Super Eagles. That is a fact.
Super talented guy but he didn't do too much with the national team.
Vic Moses at AFCON 2013 is better than anything Kanu gave us at AFCON AND World Cup

Wake me up when Victor Moses wins APOTY.

edi287:
If Kanu is on that list, so should Vic Moses. We are talking about national team performances. What Major tourney did Kanu perform at for us minus Atlanta 96(which is an age grade competition)?
Unless you want to add their club performances, then fine.

How can you compare Kanu with Moses? Kanu is even an African legend.

I don't classify players like: Martins, Yakubu, Ike Uche, Utaka, Taiwo, Osaze as legends, yet I rank them ahead of Moses.
