We should stop supporting mediocrity, how u saying NIGERIA don't have player that can play as a CM?

Okocha have no business in Nigeria Super Eagles, he is past it already,we should look forward. In his interview i watched some months back in HITV he said he retired because he don't want to disgrace himself.

A player that have not played in a competitive game for MONTHS,you want to take the person to world cup? that silly, In other countries,players are trying to go to clubs they we be playing regularly because they kn that when you are not playing regularly you don't have a world cup space, but in Nigeria you are going on campaign  for someone who has not played ball for months to go to worldcup.

Okocha is no longer a footballer,he is a businessman,

Charles Taylor has denied the charges against him
Former Liberian President Charles Taylor has said he was duped by Nigeria into being arrested and facing international justice.

Mr Taylor was speaking at his trial on war crimes charges at the Special Court for Sierra Leone in The Hague.

He is accused of backing rebels in Liberia's neighbour Sierra Leone, who committed widespread atrocities throughout the 1990s.

He had left power and was in exile in Nigeria in 2006 when he was arrested.

Mr Taylor now says the president of Nigeria at the time, Olusegun Obasanjo - who is currently a United Nations peace envoy - told him lies that caused him to be arrested.

CHARLES TAYLOR CHARGES

Violation of humanitarian law: Conscripting child soldiers
Crimes against humanity: Terrorising civilians, murder, rape, sexual slavery, enslavement
War crimes: "Violence to life", cruel treatment (including hacking off limbs), pillage


Preacher, warlord, president
Mr Taylor was living in exile in Nigeria in 2006 when US pressure to put him on trial for alleged war crimes increased.

Then, Mr Taylor suddenly disappeared while Mr Obasanjo was on his way to Washington to meet his US counterpart, George W Bush.

Then, equally suddenly, the Nigerians announced that they had arrested Mr Taylor for trying to escape.

The former Liberian leader told the court on Tuesday that Mr Obasanjo had earlier assured him he could leave the country freely.

He said Mr Obasanjo had lied to the world when he said that he, Mr Taylor, was trying to escape.

Mr Taylor said he hoped he would live to look Mr Obasanjo in the face one day and ask him to tell the truth about what happened.

Germany and Hanover goalkeeper Robert Enke has died at a level crossing after apparently driving into the path of an oncoming train.

"Robert Enke died today in an accident," a media officer for the Niedersachsen Police told Reuters. "First indications point to suicide."

He was 32 years of age.

Hanover president Martin Kind was returning from a meeting with the German FA on Tuesday when he was telephoned with the news.

"You expect many things, but not something like that," he told German news agency DPA. "I do not know how and why it happened, but I do not think that it had anything to do with football."

Enke's two-year-old daughter Lara died two years ago from a heart defect.

The German FA stated: "The German team has learned of the death of Robert Enke with great shock. National team coach Joachim Loew and manager Oliver Bierhoff said 'we are all shocked, we are speechless'."

Enke became Germany's number one goalkeeper when Jens Lehmann retired after Euro 2008 but had just returned from a bacterial bowel infection which ruled him out of his country's last four games.

He played in Hanover's 2-2 draw with Hamburg at the weekend but was not selected for the upcoming friendlies against Chile and Ivory Coast.

Loew said he was still his first choice for the World Cup in South Africa next year, and that the decision was based on his recent return to fitness. He had eight caps.
