How is it a lie?............ Let the wait for the result of the investigation before concluding it a lie.

Keep dreaming,nailing Saraki on cultists? kai wahala dey o

SirBunky85:
nonsense.can anyone be roped without verifiable evidence?the governor and saraki have some contact with dose arrested guys dats y dey are crying foul

Pls why are you so emotive in thinking as if you are not Nigerian.

ocholawealth:
The whole preemptive tacit and direct move by the justice ministry makes it obvious that there is more to this case than we all thought. please let us allow the police to do her job, after all Saraki is not a saint.

Do you want to hear basic truth,trash from clueless IGP,do they think Saraki is Dino,some of you don't even know much about Saraki but just keeping on being emotional in your comments.

The same Saraki that made sure a notorious cultist Bayo Ajia was sentenced to death until Ilorin emirates wade in and he was pardoned and now IGP want to use the killing of the same Bayo Ajia by rival cultists to nail Saraki.

IGP should find meaningful thing to nail Saraki,not this cos all politicians are guilty of using touts and cultists during elections especially in Lagos.

In Lagos alone we all know how Tinubu largesse has contributed to different division amongs touts and cultists and many have lost their life due to this political patronage.

Ayomivic:
Saraki you are a bad boy. So IGP too is not clean, now that you want to expose his dark secret he has no option than to let it die down

but kwarans know well that its not lie that alligation .Good boys are collecting salaries

Thank you,is it today politicians are using touts and cultists for elections that we are seeing it as new thing.

In the north the same story,the south south the same thing,also south east or do they think we forget how Tinubu was using NURTW touts and cultists during elections and many have die due to this but who investigate but now nabbing cultists in Kwara is now Saraki.

Many of our players are already in the country.

Ahmed Musa in IDP camp

Icon4s:
As we speak Shehu has proven to be more dependable and more solid than Ebuehi.

A right back is first a defender before being a winger. Shehu has better defensive abilities than Ebuehi even though the former is better going forward.

We are up against teams that can mount pressure on our defense for full 90mins. Here, defensive ability advantage far outweighs offensive abilities.

I would pick Shehu's abilities over that of Ebuehi in the game against Croatia.

Shehu is still Rohr's first choice.

Chief i think friendlies will do justice to that not only on Shehu and Ebuehi but other players.

Martz101:
For me i think france 98 was the best, very good football on display

I will pick US 94 WC as the best and always a reference point just like 1984 Los Angeles Olympics games.

Mujtahida:
Aghawonder. Cameroun cheated us. We deserved that Afcon. Our first Afcon since 94.if not for Abacha and Mandela political battles we would most likely have retained out title in 96 and 98

tbaba1234:
When the match was on, i could not eat because of tension.. When it finished, i was too excited to eat.

No dinner that day.

Then people watched Super eagles games with passion cos i remember the sadness that followed our loss against Italy at US 94

Mujtahida:
That match was intense. I even watched a clip of it recently.

Good match and always remember Julius Aghaowa who became a great revelation of Afcon 2000

Luckyroro:
Hahaha. I know that feeling. cheers to the good old days!

It seems you are fond of good old days of Nigeria football.

Mujtahida:
I was in my final year of secondary school during Afcon 2000.I can't recall why I stayed in school till almost close to the kick off between Nig and Senegal. Omo I couldn't find a vehicle to get home, everywhere was silent and it was just around 6pm or so. By the time I got home (I can't remember how now) Senegal was leading one nil

It was a match that Sunday Oliseh showed real patriotism.He came from the bench and took over the midfield from Senegal and settled the game.

MetalJigsaw:
It's a healthy debate if there is

Yes healthy one.Upcoming friendlies will definitely shape things,may be it is Shehu or Ebuehi as first choice.

tolufase:
Politically, Lai Mohammed can't beat Saraki. Saraki is a smart player when it comes to politics. He will definitely outsmart Lai Mohammed. Only time will tell.

You are on point. Lai Mohammed confronting Saraki is like a Lagos state commissioner confronting Tinubu.

nationalbusines:
Senate President Dr Bukola Saraki and Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed are in serious battle for the soul of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara, with both participating in parallel state congress in Ilorin on Saturday, to elect state executives. Readmore http://nationalbusextra.com/2018/05/19/saraki-lai-mohammed-divide-kwara-apc-with-parallel-state-congress/

Lai Mohammed cannot slug it out with Saraki when it comes to Kwara politics,and APC in Kwara is in Saraki's pocket.

iammdshola:
"Saraki's Problem will be solved the day he sits down and read the Constitution to understand the roles of a Senate President. He is not a Commander in Chief, there are 109 Sarakis in the NASS, he's just first among equal..."
Ovie Omo Agege

Pls read the post again and pass sensible comment cos the issue is not Saraki and Omo Agege but Saraki and Lai Mohammed.

Nobody i mean nobody recognise Lai Mohammed in Kwara politics, so he is a toothless bulldog,getting ministerial slot was due to Tinubu influenced not his participation in Kwara politics.

Kwarans especially his constituency see Lai as a Lagosian and that's the more reason he always lose out in ordinary election.

PassingShot:
Anyway, what I know is that PMB will sweep the Northern states more than he did in 2015.

He will win very big in the North except Benue, Kogi and possibly Plateau. He will defeat Saraki hands-down in Kwara and that will be the end of Saraki political dynasty in that state.

In the SW, irrespective of what PDP does, Lagos, Osun, Oyo, Ondo and Ogun are going to go the same way as 2015 (probably 60%:40%) in favour of APC. PDP will need to come up with a VP candidate who can be loved and accepted better than Osinbajo for them to have a chance.

Irrespective of what PDP does, PMB will score well above 25% in Edo, Cross-River, Delta, Imo, Rivers and even Enugu in 2019.

2019 will spell the end of politics for so many known political heavy weights. PMB will ensure that once and for all.

PMB will defeat Saraki in Kwara? keep dreaming.

Icon4s:
Shehu is more dependable and he is first choice.

Yes Rohr first choice.

Icon4s:
He is just a back up. Shehu is more than capable.

Chief don't start Shehu vs Ebuehi debate o.Shehu is more capable?Good to have the two

safarigirl:
Thanks to all who have wished me a happy birthday, and my condolences to fabyom for the loss of your brother. Having lost my mother as a child, I understand the pains of losing a loved one.

I don't think I can even bear such a loss today. May his soul rest in peace, and I pray you grow to fulfill his dreams for you

Happy birthday "MAMA"

fabyom:
I lost my one and only sibling yesterday to the cold hands of death. My elder bro, he was just 40 years old. Got sick the same day he was to start a very lucrative job after years of struggling without a well paid Job. Trying to control how sad I am.

Sorry FABYOM,it's well.

tbaba1234:
Rufai did not play any of the friendlies.

Rufai was in goal in the first half against Holland.

Martz101:
Bros he was not there in SA match, it was just the Zambia match

South Africa match in Uyo under Keshi that ended 2-2 with a brace from Sone Aluko.

Icon4s:
I understand your point.

And I agree that discusing it or not cannot change anything.

We don't have it we don't have it.

if we can make comparisons of the quality of our outfield players of the 90s with the current ones why can't we also make comparisons of our 90s goalies with the current goalies too. Or is it now a taboo to discuss the goal keeping department?

And I agree with you that Rohr didn't handle the issue well.

We are watching and waiting but know that no player is free from critism ones you have put on the national team jersey. If any player does well, we give him credit else we bring out the cane.

Yes Chief you are right and personally i don't see it as criticism but concerns.

Martz101:
yess

Yea but Nkono was Cameroon number one in 1990 cos he kept most of their qualifying matches.

I remeber he was in goal against Nigeria in a make or mar last WC qualifier match prior to 1990 WC.

Martz101:
did you follow up the argument? who compared him to Uzoho? how can one do that

He should be all time africa best everyone know that but he was not the number prior to the 1990 worldcup, bell was. bell was dropped in the eve of the Argentina match.

OK but wasn't rookie and still active with Espanyol as at 1990

tbaba1234:
Uzoho might have a great WC. The talent is there.

Sir am praying for the young man cos is a huge task.

OMANBALA1:
I dont understand,sir. His name is Keanan Bennetts....Where is the Nigerian in that and yes name says alot about who you are. Ekong,Idowu,Ebuehi,Agboola, Ikeme all have Nigerian names...What da F is Bennett. I have never seen a european white person with African name.

I got your point,the boy is more of European than Nigerian even Dele Ali,David Alaba,Robinson Kanu,Remi Moses,Philip Idowu,Christy Ohurougu despite not doing it for Nigeria we can still say they are our own.

Icon4s:
Look, if he cannot face criticisms then he is not ready as a SE Goalkeeper. If you know he is that feeble minded why canvass for him?

Do you know the weight of responsibility resting on a goalkeeper at a WC? You think it is just about staying on the line and "paring" balls. You saw how uncoordinated and destabilized Uzoho was in our last two friendlies. Goal keepers improve over years and not just within weeks.

I just pray we have not shot ourselves on the foot already in that department.

We are taking a very huge gamble, I hope you know that.

I personally do not feel comfortable with gambles.

Chief you are still on this goalkeeper matter,better listen to Mujtahida,just too late to complain but one thing is glaring the Rohr technical led team did not handle the issue very well.

Icon4s:
Those that followed African football in the 1980s and early 90s will know Thomas Nkono very well. Yes he was 3rd choice to Antoine Bell and Jacques Songo'o but he had in his bag several years of experience as a top flight goalkeeper. He was playing for Espanyol as at the 1990 WC. At that stage Nkono had seen it all o. No be be say na Rookie him be before them make him first choice. His case is different from that of Uzoho o.

Thomas Nkono was all time Cameroon best keeper.

He made his debut in 1976 and left the stage after Italian 90 and got a dramatic recalled to 1994 WC squad as a back up to Bell.

Throughout his career with nafional team he was always number one,so comparison with Uzoho should not arise, is an insult cos this was a keeper that had over 241 appearances for Espanyol between 1982 -1990.

The best keeper in Africa football history.

Joebie:
hahahahaha
if that's the case, why were u making unnecessary noise? Don't be like Tunde Disu o

not Tunde Dish but Taju Disu a member of 1983 U20 to mexico.
