Arsenal have completed the signing of Brazil defender David Luiz from Chelsea in an £8m deal.
Luiz, 32, joins the Gunners on a two-year contract, with the deal following Arsenal's £25m deadline day purchase of Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney, 22.
Arsenal manager Unai Emery said Luiz brings "huge experience" and "adds to our defensive strength".
Luiz takes Emery's summer spending over £130m after deals for Nicolas Pepe, William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli.

And they will be shouting end of Saraki dynasty... Smh

bro, forget it. That is d end of Saraki's dynasty. Bukky is d backbone of d dynasty. Her sister was a senator between 2007 and 2011 wen ABS was a governor, but when his tenure as governor ended, he took over d Senate from Gbemi, Olusola tried to use Gbemi as governor, ABS disagree with his father nd used his gbewudani governor (Fatai Ahmed ). Since then Gbemi has been stylishly silenced nd hibernated by her brother. It is only ABS enjoying what their father laboured for in politics among his siblings.

MrAJQ:
Lols IPOB sighted

u dey mind him?
As at yesterday, d only I place where PDP won is Oke Ero with low margin. APC cleared Every polling unit in my town, Offa with wide margin. I don't know where they dish dis story out!

9jahotblog:
KMC admin is in jittery mood, election in offa are always 50-50 votes.bukola saraki coming to offa has increased the voting strength of pdp candidates. saheed popoola of APC candidates only control offa local government. he cannot control the whole kwara south senatorial district.

so u think election in Offa can only be determined by Popoola's influence and it will give PDP opportunity to win Kwara South. Apart from Offa, go to d remaining six L.Gs in d district and see d political ground Lola Ashir has gained. The addition of Rafiu Ibrahim and Fatahi Ahmed cannot defeat Arc. Lola dis time around.

Johnnyessence:
since the huge turn out of voters that came out from offa yesterday, Rasak Atunwa has been getting huge voting strength from the good people of kwara state. the so called Apc group called ''kwara must change '' hasn't have it cool again. Rasak Atunwa is the next governor of kwara state.omo babaoloye is a goal. I trust ilorin people.

this how Saraki and his people's legs were swept out after their departure. No hope for Saraki in Offa and he knows dat.

If the President can remove a Chief Justice based on a
"court order".....then he can also remove ALL Supreme Court
Judges and the INEC Chief...
The President can also replace the entire elected Legislature
with "court orders"
The Governors can also remove State Chief Judges...
The world will not end in 2019.....
Be careful what you condone in 2019.

Bukola did so when he was a Kwara state governor, he removed Kwara CJ den and he is part of people condemning Buhari for suspending CJN.

ajalawole:
u people just like saying nonsense.... was he the one who send those pboys to rob offa.... if I work for a company now, and I went out to rob those that mean the company is responsible. until that oloju apolo take over kwara like osun una eye go clear. trust me, am from osun and have been base in Ilorin for the past 15yrs. we Nigerian are our own problems

Good, I'm very happy dat u re from Osun.
Do u think d way Saraki is ruling and managing Kwara is best ideal?
Since when last or how many times have you visit Osun state since u started residing in Ilorin?
When was Osun state created and when was Kwara state created? compare d developments in both states to know what Kwarans re suffering from. I'm not neither Buhari nor APC pro, but Saraki's godfatherism is very poor and not favoured to d masses.
If it's Tinubu dat will make Kwara to be better dan how it is, he is very welcom. Saraki's dynasty needs to be restricted for better Kwara. Forget d fact dat Saraki is only a Kwara Central senator, he's still a Kwara state governor. Fatai is only Gbewudani governor.

funsho4man:
we Kwaran have been praying for these for so long, thank God its time for looters to park there load and live us for good people. O To Gee is our slogan, Li Lo ni yio lo is our rhyme. Let put hands together to move Kwara up by real people who have the love of our State in mind. Sai Buhari Sai AbdulRaman Till 2023 In shaa Allah

o to gee

lilo ni e lo

come February Inshaa Allahu, Seriki n Tulasi (Sarakill) era of political dominance in Kwara will become thing of d past.

Villarreal 1

Real Madrid 2

tsannee:
We offa people have rejected sarakill

I'm an Offite, Offa people have never once accept or see Sarakill or any of his candidates as d best option. All his candidates won because of d party they belong to in 2015 election. Saraki's political dominance in Kwara is gradually coming to an end

gooooooooooooooal, Gabriel Jesus

Mani receives straight red card. Bye Bye bro

Salah missed another chance, or is it bcoz sallah is over

Likewise Kwara, no salary, no any infrastructure except commissioning untouched project with mouth.

The number one ghost worker in Kwara Stete re so-called Bukola's puppets (elected officials) including state camouflag governor Fatai Ahmed.

He is loved by all Kwarans or he's loved by ur dubious Kwara family?

What of Pa Chukwudi44? the baddest idiot ABOBAKU ever liveth.


This dude (Sarathief) needs to dismiss out of senate ASAP.

only Sarathief (Saraki) bellongs to u, what about ur hero GEJ nd Fayosane?

Fayose is nothing but FayoSane.

If you think this man (Saraaki) will not surely survive his trial, HIT Like.

If he will surely survive HIT share.

I doubt it, Buhari's administration is a joke. I dnt think they re competent enough to defeat dat dubious Ilorin man.

I know vividly why u called Kwarans world best in term of AGO, all because of Kwarans silence on all atrocities he (Saraki) had committed. But if Kwarans re world best in AGO, what will u call Nigerians or our NASS?



at least he had showed/done what he does to Kwarans to our so called NASS!

Eden Hazard replaces under performing Pedro.

Diego Coasta equalized 2:2 one more goal from Costa to finish Watford.

who is to be blamed now for this my team's downfall?


anyway, I still remain blooded Chelsea fan!

A post by Farooq Adamu Kperogi on non-payment of salaries of
Colleges of Education in Kwara State:
Who Will Save Kwara COE Lecturers from Saraki’s Deadly Grip?
By Farooq A. Kperogi, Ph.D.
Twitter: @farooqkperogi
Senate President Bukola Saraki is called Kwara State’s “Governor-
General” for a reason: He is, for all practical purposes, the state’s
de facto governor, and Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed is merely his
impotent, obsequious caretaker. Ahmed must dutifully take orders
from Saraki or risk losing his cushy surrogate governorship. This
isn’t a flippant, ill-natured putdown of Governor Ahmed, who
seems like a nice person; it’s an uncomfortable truth that many
Kwarans know only too well.
So when I ask who will save lecturers in Kwara State’s colleges of
education from death and starvation because they haven’t been
paid salaries for six or seven months now, I am not barking up the
wrong tree. Saraki is the main character in the movie of Kwara
politics. Nothing happens there without his imprimatur.
Lecturers in the state’s three colleges of education located in Ilorin,
Oro, and Lafiagi—including the College of Arabic and Islamic Legal
Studies in llorin—are being owed salaries, which has caused at
least 13 of them to die as of the time of writing this column. This,
dear reader, is unconscionable, officially sanctioned mass murder,
and Saraki can stop it if he so desires.
This issue is personal to me on many levels. As regular readers of
this column know, I am from Kwara State—from the Baatonu-
speaking part of the state called Baruten. So this isn’t an abstract
subject-matter for me. Several of my former secondary school
teachers, friends, and former high school classmates, with whom I
am in regular contact, are lecturers at Kwara State’s colleges of
education. I am intimately familiar with the heartrendingly
excruciating existential torments they are undergoing as a result of
the non-payment of their salaries. A lot of them are literally on the
edge of existence; they can’t feed their families, pay their children’s
school fees, or even pay their rents. After more than half a year in
this state, their agony has reached dizzyingly crushing heights.
When entreaties to traditional rulers and leaders of thought in the
state to prevail on Senator Saraki and his caretaker governor to
pay salaries owed to them haven’t yielded any results, the
lecturers resolved to embark on a strike from October 16. But
instead of addressing the lecturers’ grievances, the state
government’s information managers have been busy unleashing
deliberate, sustained but pathetically unimaginative propaganda in
the mass media against the lecturers. The government first
claimed that no state government employee was being owed any
backlog of unpaid salaries. When this nakedly insensitive lie was
laid bare to the world, the government changed its story several
times, and now insists that colleges of education must pay their
lecturers from internally generated revenues.
It is worth noting that since 2011 until about seven months ago
when the government stopped paying salaries outright, lecturers in
Kwara State’s tertiary institutions were paid only 70 percent of
their salaries. No one knows what has happened to the other 30
percent.
As I write this, there is intense turmoil in Kwara State’s colleges of
education. A younger brother of mine who was supposed to start
the last year of his studies this week at one of the state’s colleges
of education lamented to me that his lecturers had started a strike
and that his graduation was in danger of being derailed indefinitely.
But why should the lecturers not strike? Why should they teach
others when they can’t send their own kids to school? Why should
they teach when they can’t eat? Why should they teach when the
callousness of a duplicitous state government has caused them to
vegetate in agonizing misery for months on end?
When Muslim worshipers stoned Senator Bukola Saraki at the Eid
praying ground in Ilorin in September this year amid shrill screams
of “Ole!” (Yoruba for “thief!”), they weren’t taking sides in the Code
of Conduct Bureau’s politically motivated trial of Saraki; they were
spontaneously ventilating pent-up rage against what they rightly
perceived as Saraki’s suffocating stranglehold on the state, which
ensured that the state’s civil servants were owed backlogs of
salaries. It was anger touched off by hunger. (I am told that regular
civil servants, who couldn’t buy rams for the Eid-ul kabir festivities,
have now been paid their salaries after the stoning of Saraki). But
the state’s college of education lecturers are still left in the lurch.
Unfortunately, except for Daily Trust’s October 10, 2015 report on
the issue titled “Kwara gov’t, tertiary institutions’ staff lock horns
over salary arrears,” the traditional media in Nigeria seem to have
blacked out the plight of Kwara State’s college of education
lecturers.
But the dire existential predicaments of these lecturers are too
scandalizing to ignore. “Some of us even lost our children. Some
of our members’ children couldn’t write WAEC because of this.
Many of us also live in darkness because we couldn’t pay our
electricity bills and we have become objects of mockery before our
landlords because we could not pay our rents. It is devastating,”
AbdulKareem Amuda-Kannike, a college of education worker, told
Daily Trust.
How can you not be touched by this? The state government
received millions of naira from the federal government as bail-out
funds, ostensibly to pay the backlog of salaries owed to workers.
Where did the money go?
Most importantly, who will save starving, defenseless lecturers
from the double-dyed villainy of a rapacious, conscienceless,
power-mongering cabal led by Bukola Saraki and his servile crony,
Abdulfatah Ahmed?
People of conscience in Kwara State and beyond should quickly
intervene to halt the scarcely visible, barely known, but
nonetheless vicious official mass murder of lowly, voiceless
lecturers in the state’s colleges of education.

JUST imagine!!! not a single woman from the south nor east, i tell you BUHARI knows what he is doing. "i hope he realises that he is a president of NIGERIA not the president of the north and west.

may be because some of the women in South are looters. what was the outcome of Madueke? is she not from the South? this administration cannot tolerate looters like dat anymore.

that doesn't guarantee him of becoming senate president if Saraki fortunately stripped out of the seat.
He's still a learner in NAAS.

good riddance for bad rubbish,
jail loading for Madueke.
