Ibime: He is definitely chopping but it doesn't seem to be affecting the quality of players being called up too much. He must have other ways to chop than selling Super Eagles places.
I think he’s not interfering too much in Rohr player’s call up and squad selection.
I’m still wondering why some people are hell bent on seeing out of the glass house. There has been so type of calm in the Super Eagles since he became NFF President.
The immediate past governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, has filed a suit to stop the Imo State House of Assembly from investigating him over allegations of missing funds.
He filed the suit at the State High Court sitting in Owerri, the state capital.
In his prayers, the former governor sought a perpetual injunction restraining the lawmakers from probing him over the sum of N19.63 billion said to be missing from the Local Government account during his seven-month tenure.
Ihedioha, through an originating summon, also urged the court to grant him a perpetual injunction restraining the Imo State House of Assembly from inviting him and questioning him about the alleged missing fund.
Listed as defendants in the suit are the Imo State House of Assembly, the Speaker, and the Clerk of the House of Assembly.
The former governor filed the suit weeks after the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, announced that the sum of N19.63 billion was missing from the Joint Account Allocation Committee (JAAC) of the 27 Local Governments Areas of the state.
Governor Uzodinma had alleged that the money got missing under the watch of the immediate past administration led by Ihedioha.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo had, however, described the allegation by the governor as mischievous and a deliberate scheme of his administration to loot the resources of the state.
In just 7 months o.
He’s also looking for a perpetual injunction, just like Peter Odili got a perpetual injunction from the court stopping EFCC from ever investigating him.
Ibime: Obasi was criminally underused by Nigeria between 2007 to 2012 while some nonsense, old and decrepit players played in his stead. He was by far Nigeria's best winger during that period, and was tearing Bundesliga down in a lethal Hoffenheim attacking triumvirate with Demba Ba and Vedad Ibisevic. He was past his prime by 2014 though due to injury.
Only SiaSia gave him space to play consistently at underaged level which was again rewarded in Olympics 2008.
God will punish those who consistently hold back Super Eagles for their pocket. It is only during this Gernot Rohr era that I see some element of meritocracy returning to Super Eagles which is why I have never added my voice to those who call for his head. He has brought many new players to Eagles and by and large, the best players are picked for each position.
Only a novice football watcher will watch the era of 2002 to 2014 and not conclude it was fraught with massive corruption and parapoism in team selections. Players in their prime never got selected. Those past their prime continued getting selected many years past their peak, while many unknown and rubbish players made squad having obviously paid their way in.
What about those calling for the removal of Amaju Pinnick?
Roland17: Yea right! So who participated in the Salvation Mega Rally protests across the country that turned violent in some states, particularly the North? Are you saying Buhari did not participate in protests after his loss.
We have on record, APC hierarchy, including Amaechi during campaigns threaten to form a parallel government if elections were rigged against Buhari. Do you understand what it means to form a parallel government?
Bros Roland, if APC had lost the 2015 election and they take any action to “form a parallel government”, it’s a treasonable offense punishable by law.
We have had lots of threats and counter threats on electoral frauds. Anyone that tries to act on it will be dealt with by the law. It as simple as that.
I read all through and I can’t seems to see where they said Buhari called for overthrow of the government or called for revolution. Maybe you can show me where it is.
After the declaration of result and winner, Buhari went to court to challenge the result. He didn’t start calling for revolution and overthrow of an elected government.
raumdeuter: How come you are presenting some evidence without video backup
You were the one who insisted on videos and you are now presenting stuffs without video backup
I already gave video evidence that Sowore called for revolution by overthrowing a democratic elected government.
You claim Buhari also called for revolution showing his statement of the Egypt revolution. I simply gave you the full statement of the statement you quoted.
Provide video evidence that’s Buhari call for a revolution, overthrowing a democratically elected government.
raumdeuter: Did Buhari call for revolution against a sitting govt which he lost elections against? Yes. Did Sowore call for revolution against a govt which he lost elections against? Yes
Buhari called for revolution of the ballot box
Sowore called for revolution to overthrow a democratic elected government.
raumdeuter: So newspaper report is not enough Do we have videos of Buhari attending secondary school, since we don't have such videos we can assume it didnt happen
“Unlike the Egyptians who went through self-denial for 18 unbroken days to achieve their aspiration for leadership change, Nigerians just have to take their voter cards, vote on each election day and ensure that their votes count and are properly counted.
Why did you skip this from the same interview on the Egypt revolution?
Trying to pick out a certain aspect of the statement to make mischief.
raumdeuter: Similar to how Buhari contested elections lost and started calling for a revolution
BUHARI COMMENDS EGYPT’S REVOLUTIONARIES The CPC flagbearer commended the revolutionaries in Egypt, asking Nigerians to emulate them and support themselves regardless of religious divides.
“More importantly Nigerians have to learn from the way faiths integrated to achieve national aspiration. Christians formed rings round Muslims as they observed their Jumat prayers during the demonstrations,” Buhari said.
In 2003 after Buhari lost, he called for a protest against the swearing in of Obasanjo
“Unlike the Egyptians who went through self-denial for 18 unbroken days to achieve their aspiration for leadership change, Nigerians just have to take their voter cards, vote on each election day and ensure that their votes count and are properly counted.
This is from the same interview, pray tell how is this the same with what Sowore is calling for?
diggz: It's amazing you can see the joke in your first paragraph
We should overlook that the Dss tried to arrest someone within the court because of what falana said about el zazaky,right? You're such a political genius
Your president chose to waste taxpayers money on personal ego yet you're here as usual playing the party man. Una deserve everything una dey face for Nigeria!
Is there a Law that says someone cannot be arrested in the court of law? Or we should just accept it because Falana says it’s the first time he’s seeing it?

Did you actually listen to those Sowore videos I posted?
How is calling for protest and revolution the same thing? Can you bring out any video where Buhari said half of what Sowore said in those videos I posted?
Sowore contested an election, he lost and then started calling for revolution in the country. Let him go and try it in the US whether he won’t spend the rest of his life in Guantanamo Bay.
diggz: You are joking right? Your oga at the top owns the judiciary.
And your president is not doing what he likes? Every single crime he accused Sowore of he's committed without anyone jailing him or threatening his life.
I can post links and vids of your president insulting Goodluck and making threats that could've disrupted the peace of the nation without getting arrested. Tell me why your president would choose to waste taxpayers money within this covid19 period so he can prosecute someone who insulted him, if he is not a tyrant?
Below is Femi Falana telling the world he's never seen Dss attempting to arrest someone within the court.
Could you explain why in the history of Nigeria the Dss is suddenly attempting to arrest people within the court premises?
Buhari owns the Judiciary and they are granting bail and even fining the DSS for failing to obey orders?
Is it not the same Femi Falana that was saying on TV that El Zazaky is almost blind and the health of his wife was detoriating and he needs to be treated in India, the court granted the medical request and suddenly 2 days after getting to India El Zazaky is alright and started requesting to come back to Nigeria?
You can post any video where Buhari called for “Revolution” saying when he’s done the DSS will cease to exist and even went as far as meeting with someone thats on the run for treason charges.
The case of the man that was arrested, I haven’t seen the video he was purportedly to have made, he was arrested and charged to court, court gave judgement of a jail term or option of fine of 30k. He paid the fine of 30k and was released.
diggz: Tyrants can go to court simply because they want the world to believe they are not a tyrant.
You've got it twisted my guy. The tyrant owns the judiciary, Police force, Dss,Army etc and everyone must dance to the tune of the tyrant.
Was Abacha a tyrant? Yes or No.
Could you explain why Dss under buhari chose not to obey the courts order on several occasions?
Abacha was a Tyrant. Yes. He wasn’t behold to any court or law or constitution. His word is law. Can the same be said for Buhari as President? It’s even funny that you are comparing a military Junta to a democracy.
DSS has been disobeying court order since they were created. It’s not like it started in 2015. Their excuse has always been “National Security”. You of all people should know better than this twist.
There was even a time that there was discussion on what constitute threat to National security.
BlueRayDick: Bro, the funny thing is other lawyers of people convicted around that same time in Federal high Court if they have money will quickly go and start appealing the cases based on this same technicalities and they may walk too.
It's indeed unfortunate
So it seems it was even OUK lawyers that wrote to the President of Court of Appeal to allow the Judge to sit and finish the trial.
They then use the trap to argue at the Supreme Court.
Both the Court of Appeal President and EFCC lawyers walked into a trap.
diggz: False! Most tyrants do go to court or set up a special panel to launder their images or cover their wicked intent. Because Wike is too daft not to launder his image or waste taxpayers money by going court wont change the fact that you're supporting a tyrant.
Your tyrant took Sowore to his court and failed on several occasions to obey the courts order.
Bros, Tyrant don’t go to court. Going to court means you are subjugating yourself to judicial process.
A Tyrant is an absolute ruler who has “ABSOLUTELY POWER” and is not constrained by Law or constitution.
Tyrants don’t go to court, they are the Law themselves.

That can only be possible if it was the same Judge that gave judgement on their case.
The Judge got a fiat to sit and give judgement on the case, not like he kept sitting for trial on passing judgements on cases in the High court.
