Baxter names first Bafana squad
Stuart Baxter has named his first Bafana Bafana
squad since returning to the hotseat for a 2019
African Nations Cup qualifier with Nigeria in Uyo
next month.
The match will start at 18h00 (SA time) at
Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on June
10.
Baxter has notably handed recalls to striker
Tokelo Rantie and KICK OFF Magazine cover
star Bongani Zungu , who is impressing in
Portugal for Vitoria Guimaraes.
Cape Town City talisman Lebogang Manyama is
joined by clubmate Aubrey Ngoma in the national
team set-up for the first time, while Thulani
Serero misses out due to inactivity for Ajax
Amsterdam.
Newly crowned champions Bidvest Wits are
represented by goalkeeper Darren Keet and
defenders Thulani Hlatshwayo and Sifiso Hlanti.
"I am quite pleased with the squad we have
assembled. We have a small element of
development with a couple of young players. We
also have some players who are returning to the
squad, the likes of Zungu and Rantie," said
Baxter, who is yet to finalise his technical team
and appoint a captain.
"We have players who have been outstanding in
the PSL the whole season, we also have
continuity with a number of players that SAFA
has invested much time in and we have them in
the team. I believe we have a good mix.
"We have also looked at aerial strength and tried
to spread that well throughout the team, it
means if we can have good preparation before
we go, then we have a squad that is capable of
giving Nigeria a good game."
Baxter is juggling responsibilities as he will
continue coaching SuperSport United until the
end of the domestic season, which culminates
with Matsatsantsa's Nedbank Cup title defence
against Orlando Pirates in the final on June 24.
The Brit was appointed by SAFA earlier this
month on a five-year deal following the sacking
of Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba in December last
year.
The ex-Kaizer Chiefs boss previously steered
Bafana from May 2004 to November 2005,
recording 10 wins from 23 matches before being
fired after South Africa missed out on the 2006
World Cup.
Bafana squad:
Goalkeepers: Khune, Williams, Keet.
Defenders: Mphahlele, Coetzee, Hlatshwayo,
Mathoho, Gordinho, Mobara, Langerman, Hlanti.
Midfielders: Kekana, Dolly, Jali, Mokotjo, Furman,
T. Zwane, Zungu, Ngoma.
Strikers: Vilakazi, Tau, Manyama, Rantie,
Gabuza, Erasmus. http://www.kickoff.com/mobile/news/75594/stuart-baxter-names-first-bafana-squad-since-returning-to-hotseat-for-afcon-qualifier-with-nigeria

SportsWhy My Father Call Me Daddy _ Moses Simon by jieta(op): 2:02pm On May 22, 2017
he's just 21, yet moses 'Daddy' simon has
become something like a wonder player in Belgian
Pro League club KAA Gent and a regular in Nigeria
Super Eagles. Arriving Gent only two seasons ago,
the pocket dynamite has conquered the hearts of
Buffalo fans. Simon has scored 13 times in a
remarkable 71 games, the steady player in the
heart of Genk, almost elusive to defenders while
stealing away into the box to score.
Simon will not forget his hat trick against Lokeren
in his third league game, after which he was
named Belgian league player of the week. He
quickly became a key player in coach Hein
Vanhaezebrouck’s formation and helped Genk win
their first ever national Championship title in May
2015. Two months later, Simon assisted in
winning the 2015 Belgian Super Cup against cup
winners Club Brugge.
Simon is modest and deeply religious. He enjoys a
close relationship with his father, who gives him
the nickname, Daddy, something that has stuck
on him in Belgium and among his teeming fans.
‘Daddy’ is my pet name. My father always calls
me like that. In fact, he still does. I love my
father. That’s why I always put ‘daddy’ between
my first and last name. Sometimes my mother
also calls me daddy, but actually my father is
fond of calling me by that name. As for Moses, I
think my parents just fell for that name as a
biblical figure……..I read the Bible constantly in my
room. In all I do, I put God in the first place. I
also talk about God in interviews: to glorify his
name. I always pray to God because I believe in
Him. In all I do, I seek His blessing. I trust Him
and call His name. He is everything for me.
Sometimes, Nana Asare and I talk religion
because he is also a Christian. We share thoughts
because you cannot know everything about the
Bible. We also pray in our free time before or after
the training.’
Simon speaks more about life in Belgium, offers
from other notable clubs and the Super Eagles.
He spoke with Taiwo Alimi. Excerpts:
Beginning
When I was 8 years old, I fell in love with the
game. It brings joy to me. Becoming a footballer
has always been my dream. I followed all major
players on TV. First I played street football, like so
many African boys with boyfriends and my
brother. Sometimes it happened that I don’t even
remember to eat nor get hungry when I am
playing football. I began playing competitive
football at school, when I was 9 or 10 years old,
and got noticed by the Golden Boot Soccer
Academy, who took my brother and me in. They
believed in me and helped me achieved
professional skill. My trainers told me I had
qualities, but I had to believe in myself and my
skills. My brother is still playing in the Academy.
And who is the best among the two of you?
(Laugh) I can say I’m the best. But he can’t say
that too. God knows who the best is.



Who is your role model?
My role model while horning my skill at the
Academy was Ronaldinho. I followed him on TV
and became a big fan of his. He was my hero. I
also like the style of Cristiano Ronaldo, but
Ronaldinho remains my hero of all time.
How did you get your nickname ‘Daddy’?
‘Daddy’ is my pet name. My father always calls
me like that. In fact, he still does. I love my
father. That’s why I always put ‘daddy’ between
my first and last name. Sometimes my mother
also calls me daddy, but actually my father is
fond of calling me by that name. As for Moses, I
think my parents just fell for that name as a
biblical figure.



Are you religious?
“Yes! I read the Bible constantly in my room. In
all I do, I put God in the first place. I also talk
about God in interviews: to glorify his name. I
always pray to God because I believe in Him. In
all I do, I seek His blessing. I trust Him and call
His name.
He is everything for me. Sometimes, Nana Asare
and I talk religion because he is also a Christian.
We share thoughts because you cannot know
everything about the Bible. We also pray in our
free time before or after the training.


How is life in Belgium?
Life in Belgium is good. I’m glad I’m here. In my
spare time I go out with some of my teammates
for drink and sightseeing, no alcohol, a coke or so
for me. I don’t take alcohol because my religion
forbids it and I am happy about it.
Though I miss Nigeria, I’m comfortable here and
I’ve had time to go to Nigeria. On average, I go to
my country three to four times a year. And my
families have come and go too. They love it here
too and they want me to settle here and stay in
Belgium.



What about offers from other clubs?
My intention is to stay in Belgium, but only God
really knows my next move. Maybe I’ll leave the
club, maybe I’ll stay here for twenty years.
Imagine: A big club comes with a lot of money.
But I get injured and the transfer will not go on.
That’s why I say it’s God that will determine
where I will go.



It is believed that Nigeria chances to World Cup
2018 are bright?
Nigeria are four points ahead of Cameroon that
alone should give me confident about our chances
of making it to the World Cup, but we have
games to go before the qualifiers comes to an
end, so we have to stay focus and not give other
team the chance to put us under pressure or
catch us.



What is the secret behind Eagles good form under
Gernot Rohr
I can’t really say but I believe we are stronger as
a unit now and more experienced. Even the senior
players we have in the team have also played a
part. You see most of us in the team have played
together at various youth level for Nigeria in the
past as well, that has also helped cohesion both
on and off the pitch. http://thenationonlineng.net/father-calls-daddy-moses-simon/

PoliticsNigeria Army Picks Date For Regular Recruit Intake by jieta(op):
The Nigerian Army has picked May 27 to June 9
2017 that it would conduct the zonal screening
for its 76th regular recruitment intake for trades/
non trades men and women.
The announcement was contained in a statement
issued on Friday by its Chief of Administration, I.
M. Alkali, a Major-General.
An earlier statement in January by Army
spokesman, Sani Usman, a Brigadier-General, had
disclosed that the screening initially scheduled to
hold from January 22 to 3 February 2017 had
been postponed due to the activities of fraudsters
demanding money from applicants.
The statement reads: “The Nigerian Army wishes
to announce to the general public that 76 Regular
Recruits Intake Zonal Screening Exercise earlier
postponed will now hold from 27 May- 9 June
2017,” Mr. Alkali said in the new statement
He said successful candidates from the pre-
screening examination are to attend the zonal
screening at the designated zonal centres for their
respective states.
“Candidates are advised to come along with a
pair of white vest, a pair of blue short, white
canvas, white socks, original/photocopy of
credentials, four passport photographs, two full
size post card photographs and writing
materials”.
“Note that candidates selected after the zonal
screening exercise will commence training
immediately at Depot Nigerian Army, Zaria,” he added https://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/nigerian-army-picks-date-for-regular-recruit-intake-screening.238955/
