₦airaland Forum

Whatever nairaland is turning into these days. One day someone will come on this forum to scream "help, I can't find my DSTV remote"

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that David Moyes, the man chosen as his managerial successor at Manchester United, was sixth on a list of ideal replacements headed by Pep Guardiola and four others, who were all “unavailable” at the time, Reuters reports. In his new book “Leading”, United’s longest- serving manager outlines the selection process behind Moyes’ ill-fated appointment at Old Trafford, which lasted less than a year after he replaced the retired Ferguson in 2013. “I asked Pep to phone me before he accepted an offer from another club but he didn’t and wound up joining Bayern Munich in July 2013,” Ferguson wrote. “When we started the process of looking for my replacement, we established that several very desirable candidates were unavailable. “It became apparent that Jose Mourinho had given his word to Roman Abramovich that he would return to Chelsea, and that Carlo Ancelotti would succeed him at Real Madrid. “We also knew that Jurgen Klopp was happy at Borussia Dortmund and would be signing a new contract. Meantime, Louis van Gaal had undertaken to lead the Dutch attempt to win the 2014 World Cup,” he added. Moyes was sacked after 10 months at United but Ferguson defended his fellow Scot’s record prior to joining the club. “We chose David Moyes. He had been consistent in his job at Everton, had a good spell there – 11 years and showed appetite. “Unfortunately, somehow it didn’t work out for David. The process was perfect. It was a good process,” Ferguson said. Instead, the former United manager reserved his criticism for Moyes’ decision to overhaul his backroom staff after taking charge. “I’m sure there are things that David would do differently if he had the opportunity to relive his time at Old Trafford,” Ferguson said. “Such as keeping Mick Phelan (Ferguson’s assistant), who would have been the invaluable guide to the many layers of the club that Ryan Giggs is to Louis van Gaal today. “There is no point suddenly changing routines that players are comfortable with. It is counterproductive, saps morale and immediately provokes players to question the new man’s motives,” he added. Meanwhile, Ferguson has revealed that he refused to allow Wayne Rooney to be paid more than him during a contract stand-off with the striker in 2010, AFP reports. Rooney vowed to leave United after accusing the club of a lack of ambition, only to perform a sudden U-turn and sign a new five-year deal reportedly worth £180,000 a week. But Ferguson reveals in his new book that he engineered a deal of his own ensuring that no player could earn more than him, telling United’s owners the Glazer family and then-chief executive David Gill he “did not think it fair that Rooney should earn twice what I made.” SOURCE: http://www.punchng.com/sports/i-wanted-guardiola-to-succeed-me-ferguson/

Not trying to defend Saraki, but has anyone thought of the possibility of some of these assets being part of his late father's estate which he inherited on his death? I've decided not to have an opinion on this Saraki matter until all the facts are laid bare

In that case, documentation will prove that. If you inherit a property, and all legal documentation and transfer has been completed and all relevant inheritance taxes (if any) paid, he has no choice than to declare that property. Buhari declared properties he inherited from his late sister. Am not a lawyer or law student, they lawyers can shed more light on this.

He and other Governors owing salaries should pay up..

Good development. I support any actions to empower and strengthen our armed forces and security agencies.

I like this guy. Make he no dey do all these flaunting flaunting things like all these small small pikin artists.
#mrIbumyguy.

Mehn! ain't there no love for Saraki in the streets.

Lessons: Tinubu controls the media and feed majority of the public whatever he wants them to know. He uses the media against his enemies!!!

Mr Man, go and rest. These are not the only media outlets we have in this country. We are spoil for choice. I know some other guys who prefers AIT. Tinubu don't and can never control the media. Even Abacha couldn't.

oloyedayo:
Ben Murray Bruce! Is that how to make common sense?

Infact! OYAMILENU O.

There is something wrong with every public servant. The difference is wether the government wants to indict or ignore you.

Every public office holder has done something wrong.

exactly. They are all like the goat destined to be roasted. The wise ones among them keep calm while the foolish ones will still rub palm oil all over their body, by that time, the powers that be will PLAY THEIR SCORES.

@op, did she mention Banana Island?

The guy is a freaking ingrate.

I hear say her papa na pastor. @peculiar chapel Ibafon, Olodi Apapa.

These roads are too narrow na. This should be road within an housing estate.

pcicero:
As usual, you were blind to see that it was Jonathan that appointed him.

I don't know where you read in your history books that Awolowo had anything to do with federal character.

More so, of what relevance is that to the topic?

Only a jaundiced brain like yours will make such conjectures.

Don't mind that guy that calls himself @hinwazaka. I had the cause to argue with (educate) him on a certain issue and in the cause of the engagement he had to tell me that he had As in his Pols in school. I told him that in that case he needs a refund if he couldn't grasp the elements of basic government an SS2 student should know. He was using the opinion of a TV presenter as authority. He is just full of hate tribalism bigotry and something else I can't phantom. I do see his rantings he called posts but they are too unintelligent to warrant a response from me. He doesn't even post like a graduate. You said his brain is jaundiced, I said his case is beyond redemption.

Mutuwa:


i just recalled the story of some 3 guys in the 90's that wanted a good money ritual.The babalawo transformed them into vultures with the agreement that they were to stay as such for a week.The latter went on another job elsewhere and tragically got hit by a car on his way back.Now deceased,his son who was still a novice in the job was only able to bring back their heads and limbs while the remaining parts of their body remained vulture like.

Memory lane. You too you have tayed.

When will this film be out?

dunkem21:
Buhari should just call NOI back

Take time o! which kind joke be that?

Observers are worried.

When Warri kingdom announced the death of the Olu of Warri yesterday, alot of questions run through my mind. Most paramount among them is the issue of the Ownership of Warri.

I was thinking of how the Itsekiri, a Yoruba tribe can really be the owners of Warri in Delta State, it was not until i ran into this article today on who owns warri http://ngr.ng/who-owns-warri-and-the-olu-of-warri-title/ that i begin to understand how Itsekiri may really be the true owners of Warri.

Unfortunately alot of Yoruba do call the itsekiris Omo Ibo out of ignorance.

Can someone throw more light of the ownership of warri and also why the itsekiri are Yoruba?

No true Yoruba calls the Itshekiris Igbo. If you understand Ijebu, Ilaje, Ikale or any of those variety of Yoruba dialects spoken in Ondo state, you will understand Itsekiris when they speak. 80% of their language is Yoruba. They also bear Yoruba names. The CAN president is AYODELE=Joy has come home. ORITSEJAFOR=The lord has given me a (voice) to speak. Oritsefemi, omawunmi, Eyimofe Damijo, are examples of Itsekiri bearing Yoruba names. The Itsekiri culture is also Benin influenced. The itsekiri is related to Yoruba but they are not Yoruba. Yorubas cannot claim Itsekiris because their culture is also Benin influenced but No true Yoruba call Itsekiris Igbo.

Saraki should just go and answer that one simple question. Did you lie about your asset declaration or not. witch or wizard hunt, he should go clear himself if he is clean and shame the devil.

igwedaboss:
JLmao... ah swear.. just like the ikoyi bridge cost 9.3billion while the Niger bridge which is longer and bigger cost 3.3 billion

shuuuuuu! Na where you get this your information from, NIGERIAN PILOT?

sandraokosun:
destroy ke, na im overambitiousnes dey self destruct am already. Funny thing no where to run to. Even im northern guys no go wan resemble rebels against pmb institution

His so called Northern guys see him as a Yoruba man. Of what benefit is Saraki to them? Of what political benefit is Saraki to them to want to make them risk the irk of PMB and to a large extent the anger of their people. How much crowd can the name Saraki pull outside of his Kwara state? Politics is a game of numbers and interests but unfortunately Saraki is a lone ranger and he doesn't even know it.

andy244:
So osibanjo married his cousin? Yuroba people and nonsense life.

It was Pa Awo's wish that one of the Osinbajo's sons marry one of his daughters. Objections were raised, but Pa gave them reasons why it can work. Fast forward many years later, it later turned out that it was that little child of destiny that told a shocked Pa Awo in his office that he should hurry up and vacate his office for he is the next premier that later married Pa Awo"s grand daughter. Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.

chefremy:
wow,so the v.p's wife is the grand daughter of awolowo one of the nation great leader.

Yes, even the Osinbajos and Awolowos are cousins.
Ikene Remo, home of great men. The osinbajos, Awolowos, Tai solarin.

FreeGlobe:
We the enlightened masses will not support political witch hunting as anti corruption efforts. We stand by Saraki, Buhari should update us on his asset declaration.

Sorry, witch hunting is not a defense in court. The DPO hates the local trouble maker does not hinder him from arresting and prosecuting the thug if he engages in public disturbance.
The Tinubu you all love to tag with the toga of corruption appeared in person before the same CCT to clear and defend himself against the charges levelled against him. Why would Saraki's be different?
Thank GOD the anti corruption war started within the APC fold.

you can protest all you like from Geneva to Washington. it cannot affect the process and decision of the tribunal. "Political witch hunting" is not a defense in court. Witch hunting does not say if you are accused, you shouldn't clear or defend yourself. You can only raise objection or appeal if the process is not credible.
Saraki like me enjoys no immunity from prosecution. He is not the first to be summoned by the CCT. A "MERE GOVERNOR" Bola Tinubu appeared before the tribunal to clear his name.

NgeneUkwenu:
APC may not even wait for the Tribunal Ruling to remove him! His colleagues will soon desert him and he will be impeached within seconds! Remember Okadigbo, Wabara and Enwerem. Initially it looked like their colleagues backed them, but within days, in order to avoid the wrath of Nigerians, abandoned them to their fates! Relax and watch as events unfold

Do you think the 2/3 majority to impeach him can be gotten? I don't think The PDP caucus in the house can work with their APC counterpart to impeach him.
