I BELIEVE THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN IN 2019
In the circumstance, everyone waited with bated breath for the returning officer from Rivers State. But if they had expected a serious-looking returning officer from the battle front in Rivers State, they were grossly mistaken. An unimaginably calm Efeotor literally turned his own declaration of results into a session of comedy.

It began with INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega’s observation that unlike other returning officers before him, he was not reading his own results from the original result.

“Prof, I observed that you are not reading from the original result sheet,” Jega said.

“Yes sir,” Efeotor concurred.

“But you have to read from the original result sheet. That is where everyone reads from.’

“Okay sir.”

By the time Efeotor resumed reading, he went back to the sheet Jega said he should not read from.

“But Prof, I told you to read from the original,” Jega protested.

“I am reading sir,” Efeotor quipped.

“Yes, I know that you are reading, but not from the original INEC master sheet.

“I only read typed materials sir.”

Efeotor attempted to read from the original result sheet but could not make progress as the figures he voiced out did not correspondent with those in the copy Jega held in his hands.

After a few attempts and repeated correction by Jega, Efeotor protested: “Sir, I told you I only read typed materials.”

“But Prof, who wrote the figures?” Jega asked.

“I did, but under special conditions?” Efeotor responded, sending the audience into a bout of laughter.

At this point, an INEC official, who felt that additional light would help Efeotor, brought a big phone. Still, the professor could not make progress.



As he struggled to read with the additional light from the phone, the INEC official appeared with a halogen lamp.

“Thank you!” Efeotor exclaimed in a tone that set everyone reeling with laughter. But even at that, he still could not read.

At this point, Jega suggested that the INEC official, who had been supplying the additional light, should read out the results while Efeotor supervised.

Efeotor’s action, especially his claim that he wrote the results under special conditions, has since provoked a debate as to whether his action at the collation centre was natural or orchestrated to achieve a desired end. Some say the professor could have deliberately generated the drama to douse extenuate public apprehension of what had transpired in Rivers State during the elections or generate a comic relief to douse the tension generated by the cantankerous action of a former minister of Niger Delta, Elder Godsday Orubebe, who a few minutes earlier had nearly subverted the announcement of results.

SportsMikel: Referee Admitted Ball Touched Argentina Defender’s Hand by Jilo83(op): 7:26am On Jun 27, 2018
Super Eagles captain John Mikel Obi said last night Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakin accepted that the ball struck the hand of Argentina’s defender Marcus Rojo in the 82nd minute, but refused to award a penalty.

The penalty, if awarded and scored at a time the match was 1-1, could have wrapped up a second round ticket for the Eagles.

Speaking at the post match briefing in St Petersburg, Mikel said: “I asked the referee if he thought the ball struck Rojo’s hand and he said ‘yes;. The refeee told me that the ball came off Rojo’s head before it hit his hand.”

Mikel added:” I then asked Cakur why he didn’t award the penalty to Nigeria, he said: ‘ I don’t know.’ That was sad because we checked the match video in the dressing room and it was a clear penalty kick.



“When the ball touches your hand in the penalty box, it’s a penalty. No two ways about that. Maybe he didn’t want to give us the second penalty. It is sad we had to exit the competition this way.

The same referee was inconsistent. Twenty four hours earlier in the same circumstances, he gave a panelty to Iran against Portugal.

Yesterday’s match ended 2-1 in favour of Argentina.

Nigerians had looked forward hopefully that Eagles would get a draw to move to the second round.

However, the Eagles failed to defend well in the crucial moments of the game. They were on the defensive most of the second half.

Lionel Messi struck early before the Victor Moses equaliser in the 51st minute via a well taken penalty. Messi’s goal was fantastic. He collected a diagonal pass from Ever Banega with his thigh, dragging the ball into position before hitting it beyond the reach of Francis Uzoho.



It could have been a brace for Messi, but 19-year-old Nigerian goalkeeper Uzoho pushed the Argentine’s terrific free kick off the far post.

Wilfred Ndidi blazed a shot over the bar in the 71st minute as Nigeria looked to put an end to all doubt.

Odion Ighalo also had two glorious chances to put Nigeria ahead but The China-based striker fluffed them to the dismay of Nigerians.

Speaking about his future with the national team, Mikel said he would be most delighted to lead the boys going further into the future.

I’m happy playing with this bunch of players. I expect them to grow into a great side and I think this team would make a good imression in the next four years. They are good boys with bright future,” he said.’Of course, we did everything we could; we pushed and pushed to get the goal but it was to be.

“We want to thank all Nigerians for their support; and we have to keep going.”
