It hasn't even been a full 24 hours since OBI and Kwankwaso made the significant decision to join the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and already we are witnessing a dramatic shift in the political landscape. The Alternative Democratic Congress (ADC) has reportedly lost more than 9 million members in response to this development, which underscores the impact these high-profile defections have on party dynamics. In the midst of this tumultuous situation, we are confronted with individuals who are now resorting to nonsensical babbling in an apparent attempt to mitigate the damage that has resulted from these events. It's quite disheartening to see such reactions, as they seem to reflect a desperate effort to regain some semblance of control in a rapidly changing political environment.

Haha 9 million just defected like that,una too dey lie

Zadok and AIK react to claims winger has been named in Nigeria squad for Unity Cup

Zadok Yohanna and AIK sporting director Miika Takkula have responded to reports in the Nigerian media claiming the teenage winger has been named in the Super Eagles squad for the 2026 Unity Cup.

It had been suggested that the highly sought-after forward received an official invitation from the Nigeria Football Federation ahead of the tournament at The Valley, but both Zadok and Takkula have dismissed the claims.

Nigeria manager Eric Chelle is rumored to be monitoring the youngster, who has played fewer than 18 senior matches since turning professional, despite being eligible for both the Flying Eagles and Olympic Eagles.

The 18-year-old has emerged as one of AIK's brightest prospects following an impressive start to life in Stockholm, registering eight goal involvements (5 goals, 3 assists) in 17 appearances across all competitions since his arrival last summer.

Zadok and Takkula insist that no contact has yet been made with the Nigerian Federation.

"It's not official yet, I don't know ... I've seen it on social media, but I don't know," Zadok told Sportbladet.

When asked whether he had been approached by the Nigeria Football Federation, he added:: "No, not yet. But I hope they call me."

A potential call-up for the Unity Cup, which is not part of the Fifa international match calendar, could see Zadok miss key AIK matches, including an away derby against Hammarby and a home clash with league leaders Sirius.

"It's not up to me, it's up to the club. If I get selected but AIK says I'm going to stay, I'll stay, there's no problem," Zadok said.

Clarifying the club's position, AIK's sports director Miika Takkula said: " I have heard the rumors but I have not received any official contact from their federation. We will see if it comes and if so, take it from there.

"First of all, we have to wait for contact from the Nigeria Football Federation and then see what the situation looks like. But it is only speculation."

Zadok's goal in the ninth minute salvaged a point for AIK in their 1-1 draw against IF Elfsborg on Sunday.

Hmm atleast he's young, let's hope he improves

Yes baba his age gave him that advantage and a trained Europe goalkeeper always come good with time cuz they learnt the basics

Its in good order to say the Presidential Elections in 2027 will mark a new, interesting & significant chapter.

The Chances of Peter Obi & Kwankwanso ticket just gained additional traction with 30% more probability and thats with the move to join NDC.

1, PO's mantra and his last campaign of not giving shi-shi especially in the Party Primaries resonates with so many youths and moral Nigerians. Corruption is Nigeria's biggest problem.

2, PO knows and has been well advised that he remains the biggest "Target" of the ruling party. As such had kept the last card close to his chest whilst retaining and expanding his Obidents followership.

3, Peter Obi as stand-alone candidate with a fluent and respectable hausa speaking Kwankwaso will make geniue in-roads in the NE & NW whilst recruiting loyal Party agents in the core-north through Kwankwanso's reach and spread.

4, An Atiku on the ballot will be a disadvantage for NC votes. The killings in the NC escalated since the Buhari regime as such a Fulani Man in power is a no-no for the Middle Belt and PO retains his large cult-like Christian base he enjoyed in 2023.

5,The core North resent PBAT for Nasir-Elrufai, the US sokoto Bombing and Malami. They gave PBAT 60% of his votes. Take it or leave it Nasir-El Rufai will be the most suitable fulani man for Presidency not Atiku. Thats 2031 not next year.

Without rigging & manipulation, PBAT will be reduced to a Regional Candidate (SW).

Haha see political analyst...did I heard you PBAT reduced to Regional candidate abi no be Tinubu you dey talk about?una go just dey amuse person.... election never started una dey shout rigging rigging like rigging tone....Oga just take your PVC and vote for your candidate

BascoVanVeli:
This should not even be a hot take. He has done enough to regain his spot.

If he has done enough to regain his spot,based on his stats then Sadiq Umar and Taiwo Awoniyi should get a look in too,for Unity Cup since our A list players will not be available.

Subzero0477:
OH I've always heard he was error prone

Yes he is...I thought he would be a better replacement for Okoye who was on AWOL from national team then,this made me to have interest in Okonkwo,watching him several times,sir he is not better than Uzoho,my only hope on him he is still young cuz Okoye proved that with his performance with Udinese....I just hope Okonkwo comes better with time just like Okoye

Meliforme:
I don't make opinions on just a single instance.

I just pointed out areas he needs to improve.

Okay but how many of his matches did you pointed this out, especially during Afcon...

Karlovich:
Uzoho and his Omonia Nicosia side won the Cyprus premier league

Happy for Uzoho

NaijaHelper1:
I'm struggling to understand this crap. You mean you arrested a civilian because soldiers discussed the bad conditions they're facing with him? Bad conditions created by corruption you fostered?
What gave the army the right to arrest abi pick up a civilian in the first place? What kind of country is this for God's sake?

Oga no need to rant here,if you get the mind just did like Justice Crack and know wetin dey....better leave Army and their wahala,nothing concern civilian for their matter

Egbon 😂😂

Yes Wrexham would have wrapped it up by few matches ago but Arthur lose of form denied them the playoff,well good we are having Hull and Millwall in the playoff,also cool Coventry made it,hope big Frank made small Frank loan permanent.

Meliforme:
It is so sad to remark that Calvin Bassey's defending is not yet Elite.
Good defending is not all about duels.

Positioning, good anticipation, are all components of good defending.

Alex Iwobi may not bring much to defending, but this Fulham team is missing the stability, coordination and creativity that he offers.

Just a game off now poor positioning,bad anticipation....Oga,Calvin Bassey of this season has good positioning,very good ianticipation and reason why he is highly rated in Fulham or abi not the same Bassey of Afcon

TheSuperNerd:
I believe that is why he said "form". He meant Okonkwo's form in the last 2 games or so before Ward began benching him.
The 5-1 loss vs Southampton - Committed error that led to a goal.

The 2-0 loss vs Birmingham - Committed another error that led to a goal.

That was back to back. His form in those games definitely saw Wrexham slip up in the battle for 6th place.

Thank you for the clarification

Subzero0477:
Na wa o

I followed Chuckwuezugo Okonkwo as a fan judiciously and happy when he moved on loan to Crewe Alexandria from Arsenal,later to Stum Graz and don't know why the moved was not permanent cuz he did well.... very ambitious Wrexham came in and signed him,made him first choice,and was instrumental to their promotion to championship but at the very later part of this season he lost form when he was needed most,conceded some school boy error goals and it cost Wrexham some viral points cuz Hull City shouldn't have made it ahead of Wrexham.

TheSuperNerd:
FT Udinese 2-0 Torino

Okoye now has 9 Serie A Cleansheets. Way more than the 4 cleansheets he kept in 2024/25, and 5 he kept in 2023/24.

Infact, his 9 cleansheets this season (25/26) is the combined sum he had for the last 2 seasons (24/25 & 23/24) in Serie A.

It shows that Okoye has improved tremendously

TheSuperNerd:
Derby 1-2 Sheffield Utd
Hull 2-1 Norwich
Wrexham 2-2 Boro

Ayaji's Hull are now in the final Promotion playoff spot.

Arthur Okonkwo poor form cost Wrexham playoffs position

Last year Tunde Ayeni visited my house to see my big bro and funny I sat down just looking at him, everyone in the sitting room stood up to greet him but I refused cuz he doesn't deserve my handshake,when he left my siblings where asking why and I said that man na big thief....He encouraged Alaimeiyesha to finish Bayelsa treasury,close pal to James Ibori,very fraudulent man and fully participated in most money laundering during GEJ era,very closed to Patience Jonathan......I only respect hardworking entrepreneur not all these fake billionaires like Tunde Ayeni

AMINDA:
No. Tinubu lost Lagos and the entire South to Obi, winning only 4 Yoruba states out of 17 Southern states. He became president because the North bailed him out with 5.6m votes. He would have been toast.

Hmm,North indeed,very hype region that used military rules to deceive us,This is democracy that produced Obasanjo,GEJ and now Tinubu,so keep on living in the past.

Saladdin:
Nigerians are hoping that this'll be the makeup in 2027:

1. ADC: Atiku & Makinde
2. APC: Tinubu & maybe Dogara
3. NDC: Obi/Kwankwaso.

Should this fly, trust me, a certain person will come third

Atiku and Obi on ballots again then Tinubu is winning with ease, repetition of 2023 again

AMINDA:
All I see is fear disguised as confidence. This ticket will effectively kill the "turn of the South" campaign mantra. If this materialises, the probability of Tinubu emerging third as predicted by Elrufai may be a reality. Obi/Kwankwaso will be a solid ticket and with the right momentum, will sweep Tinubu away in the South. Unlike in 2023 when the North provided him with 5.6m votes as buffer after being defeated by Obi in Lagos, Tinubu will see a greater chunk of his 2023 Northern votes going to Atiku with the rest mopped up by OK. Even the middlebelt Tinubu thinks he has flipped is dicey and might slip out his fingers if he repeats the muslim-muslim ticket.

Meanwhile, Atiku picking a Seyi Makinde as Vice will mean states like Oyo, Osun (Aregbesola and LG funds factor) and Lagos are up for grabs. Tinubu is not as popular in the Southwest as his lackeys like to pretend and resorting to tribal rethorics to galvanise his base in Lagos like we saw in 2023 will further shut him out in the rest of the South.

Daydreamer,imagine Tinubu will comes third...Tinubu is not popular in South West...I just don't know why you guys keep on deceiving yourself with lies abi no be the same Atiku,Kwankwaso,Makinde, Aregbesola and Obi of Nigeria politics you're talking about....

LagosOrigin:
Probably his next move with Peter Obi

We will follow them to NDC

Confusion everywhere,today ADC, tomorrow NDC,next tomorrow which party again?

Atiku is funding Melaye Dino,Dele Momodu and Deji Adeyanju Wella,they're living on Atiku largese

Police should not divert our attention from that polica ASP Nuhu who gun down a young man...awon werey

DLSReigns:
How exactly did Obi failed Nigerians? I don't understand. Thank your God you are not having the one on one with me. You for explain tire.

Any governor that failed his state failed Nigeria,not only president but all politicians who're in elective positions and failed to deliver as promises....on Peter Obi it's left for Anambra people to judge.

Yes he is right, failed politicians wants to replace failing president,this country na joke and failing Edo governor said this oh

Sheuns:
Well, Tinubu is failing Nigeria at an astronomical rate. He must go. Not negotiable.

Hmmm,and replaced with set of failed politicians? Nigeria don cast tey try, imagine Atiku now beautiful bride
