Ikeme: I Thought "it was a Joke"
Sunday Oliseh has named his first squad as Nigeria manager and Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Carl Ikeme first thought his call-up "was a joke".

The 29-year-old has received his first call-up to the Super Eagles squad whilst Chelsea pair John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses miss out.

He told the Sport Today's Steve Crossman what it means to play for Sunday Oliseh now that he knows his inclusion is not just a joke.

Dominic Iorfa (born 24 June 1995) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The son of a former Nigerian international footballer of the same name, Iorfa was part of the youth system at his local club Southend United before joining the academy of Wolverhampton Wanderers at the age of 15.

He moved on a one-month loan to League One Shrewsbury Town on 18 March 2014, and made his senior debut the same day as a substitute in a 0–1 defeat at Colchester.

Having made his debut at the start of a 4-game unbeaten run, Iorfa became a fan favourite and a regular to the first team. In January 2015, Iorfa won the football league's Young Player Of The Month award, and that same day went on to assist a goal in a 3-0 win for Wolves against Fulham. He is signed to the club until summer 2015, with the club also holding the option of an additional year.

Iorfa has been capped by England at under-18 level and under-20 level


Football League Young Player Of The Month: January 2015

Seattle Sounders striker Obafemi Martins has not ruled out a Nigeria return, but admitted he is focusing on his MLS club career.
Martins was called up just once in the last three years, against Kenya, in a 2014 World Cup qualifier.
Despite being his country's most in-form striker last year, alongside Ikechukwu Uche, he was omitted from the Brazil 2014 squad
But Martins is not closing the door on the Super Eagles just yet.

"The opportunity to represent a country of over 170 million people doesn't come often and I will never turn it down.
"But right now I'm just focusing on giving my best to Seattle Sounders and take it from there."
It was widely reported in the Nigerian media that Martins - who scored 18 goals in 39 internationals for Nigeria - had retired from international football after falling out with ex-coach Stephen Keshi.

But the 30-year-old - who made a scoring debut for Nigeria in May 2004 against the Republic of Ireland - has no desire to hang up his international boots and believes he still has a lot to offer the three-time African champions.
"I am a Nigerian and playing for my country is always an honour," he said.
" I never announced my retirement, as wrongly reported. I was a bit disappointed to be treated like a Nigeria outcast but it was not enough to push me into an early retirement.
"I know if I have a good, successful season with Sounders and Nigeria come calling, fair enough. If they don't, then hopefully I'll have something big to celebrate in Major League Soccer."
Martins, who began his career in Nigeria with FC Ebedei, has played in Italy, England, Russia and Spain, as well as the US.
After scoring 46 goals in 125 matches for Inter Milan, he joined the African exodus to the English Premier League, signing for Newcastle in 2006.
Despite scoring 35 goals in three seasons, the Nigerian's time on Tyneside was not a roaring success and he switched to German outfit VFL Wolfsburg in July 2009.
After struggling to settle down in the German top flight, he quit after just one season and headed to Rubin Kazan in Russia in a deal worth £7m ($11m).
But his time at Rubin was blighted by injuries and loss of form, forcing him to switch to Spanish side Levante. He scored nine goals in 29 appearances for Levante before moving to the MLS in March 2012.
Since moving to Seattle, he has scored 35 goals and made 20 assists in 71 appearances for the club.

Nigeria striker Michael Olaitan intends to use a loan spell at Dutch club Twente from Olympiakos in Greece as an opportunity to kick-start his career.
The 22-year-old, who bounced back from a health scare last November, has linked up with the Eredivisie outfit with an option to sign permanently.
Olaitan is hoping to see regular game time during his stint in the Netherlands, allowing him to regain the form that almost earned a place in Nigeria's squad to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

"Twente is an opportunity to get everything back on track," Olaitan told BBC Sport.
"This league and club provides my career with the right boost at the right time.
"My overall aim is to get as many games as possible under my belt and make a significant contribution at this club.
"The club has given me the right motivation, I know I have to start on a clean slate and I am ready."
Technical director of Twente Ted Van Leeuwen has expressed his delight over his club's acquisition of the young Nigerian.
"Michael Olaitan is a versatile striker. Fast, strong, technically proficient with both feet and a cool finisher. There was a lot of interest in him, but he chose FC Twente," Leeuwen said.
"I followed Michael for four years because I think he's a great striker. Very versatile, very disciplined and cool. I find it extraordinary that we have managed to bring together this talent to Enschede.
"Although he's still only 22, he has all the necessary experience and his personality fits very well in our dressing room. His career has just needed a little push."
Olaitan won a football reality show in Nigeria and played for local side Mighty Jets before his move to Greek club PAE Veria in 2011.
He enjoyed a remarkable debut season at Olympiakos, playing a total of 16 games and scoring eight goals.
The highly-rated Olaitan was tipped by the local media to make Nigeria's provisional 2014 World Cup squad before his setback in March 2014.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will offer to help Nigeria's new leader track down billions of dollars in stolen assets and increase U.S. military assistance to fight Islamic militants, U.S. officials said, as Washington seeks to "reset" ties with Africa's biggest economy.
Next week's visit to Washington by President Muhammadu Buhari is viewed by the U.S. administration as a chance to set the seal on improving ties since he won a March election hailed as Nigeria's first democratic power transition in decades.
U.S. cooperation with Buhari’s predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, had virtually ground to a halt over issues including his refusal to investigate corruption and human rights abuses by the Nigerian military.
"President (Barack Obama) has long seen Nigeria as arguably the most important strategic country in sub-Saharan Africa," U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Tony Blinken told Reuters. "The question is would there be an opportunity to deepen our engagement and that opportunity is now."
The improving ties with Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer, come as U.S. relations have cooled with two other traditional Africa powers - Egypt and South Africa.
U.S. officials have said they are willing to send military trainers to help Nigeria counter a six-year-old northern insurgency by the Boko Haram Islamist movement.
Since Buhari's election, Washington has committed $5 million in new support for a multi-national task force set up to fight the group. This is in addition to at least $34 million it is providing to Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon and Niger for equipment and logistics.
Buhari's move on July 13 to fire military chiefs appointed by Jonathan clears the way for more military cooperation, U.S. officials say.
"We've made clear there are additional things that can be done especially now that there is a new military leadership in place," a senior U.S. official said.
Another senior U.S. official said Washington was urging Buhari, a Muslim from the country's north, to step up regional cooperation against the militants and to provide more aid to afflicted communities to reduce the group's recruiting power.
Buhari has said his priorities are strengthening Nigeria's economy, hard-hit by the fall in oil prices, boosting investment, and tackling "the biggest monster of all" - corruption.
"Here too he is looking to deepen collaboration and one of the things he is focused on is asset recovery," the official said. "He is hopeful we can help them recover some of that."
In 2014, the United States took control of more than $480 million siphoned away by former Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha and his associates into banks around the world.
Washington has broad powers to track suspicious funds and enforce sanctions against individuals.
Jonathan fired Nigeria's central bank governor in February last year after he raised questions about the disappearance of about $20 billion in oil revenues.
Johnnie Carson, a former assistant secretary of state, said Washington should not let security issues overshadow the need for closer trade and investment ties.
"Nigeria is the most important country in Africa," said Carson, currently an adviser to the U.S. Institute of Peace.
Now more than ever, "the relationship with Nigeria should not rest essentially on a security and military-to-military relationship," he added.
Lauren Ploch Blanchard, an Africa specialist with the non-partisan Congressional Research Services, said the U.S. challenge was to work with Buhari while giving him time to address the country's vast problems.
How Buhari will handle the campaign against Boko Haram is still an unknown, Blanchard said.

Former Warri Wolves F.C. forward Oke Akpoveta has revealed he is desperate to start afresh with his new Danish side Lyngby BK after penning a one year deal with the second division side.

Akpoveta who notched five goals in nine appearances for Bronshoj took to instagram to thank his former team for their massive support over the years.

"New start,new challenge, new people. But God bless all the members of Bronshoj BK. My stay was fantastic with you guys, TEAM LYNGBY official," Apoveta wrote on his official Instagram page.

Recall the former Brondby forward also featured for Ravan Baku in Azerbaijani league.

Turkish side Eskişehirspor have slapped a €3 million price tag on their Nigerian midfielder Raheem Lawal if he is to force through a move away from the club, completesportsigeria.com can report.

The 26-year-old player's representatives are reportedly in advanced talks with several clubs, with Sivasspor and AS Roma the notable ones. Lawal is keen to leave the club but coach Sergen Yalcin has demanded that prospective clubs pay up €3m for the player who has one year left on his current deal.

"He has made important contributions to the club since he joined but if he decides to leave we will let him on our own terms because he has a contract," Yalcin told Turkish daily Fanatik.

Meanwhile the midfielder who is currently holidaying in Lagos has told completesportsnigeria.com for the umpteenth time that he will leave the club.

He also confirmed completesportsnigeria.com reports of his links to AS Roma. He said: "There was a meeting with the Italian side but it doesn’t end there. I’m confident of a move this summer.

"There are some clubs that want me but they must meet the valuation of Eskişehirspor.”

Former Nigeria captain Sunday Oliseh has frowned at the manner in which his country's football governing body is handling the issue involving goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama.


The Nigeria Football Federation last week summoned the Super Eagles captain and goalkeeper before a disciplinary committee for what it described as "unguarded comments" to the media over its choice of the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna for their 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad earlier this month.


Enyeama did not turn up before the committee on the claims that he did not receive any official notification of such and did not respond to an earlier query given by the NFF. Reports in Nigeria now suggest that the LOSC Lille Metropole goalkeeper could be sanctioned.
But Oliseh is of the view that Enyeama should be treated as a professional footballer and not a civil servant under the full employ of the football federation.
The former Juventus and Borussia Dortmund midfielder believes that Enyeama's view as captain of the Nigerian men's national team "should be respected."


"He is not a civil servant. Why are you querying him?" Oliseh asked in an interview with Brila FM on Friday.
"He is a professional football player, the captain of the team and simply aired his opinion and I think that should be respected.”
Oliseh, 40, further said it was wrong to crucify Enyeama, who he regards as "one of the best goalkeeper in the world."

former governor of Edo state, Lucky Igbinedion on Sunday broke his long silence in the politics of the state by boasting that the next person to govern the state must get his anointing to win the 2016 governorship election.
Igbinedion who left office in 2007 after governing for eight years, declared that he would play a prominent role in the choice of who becomes the Peoples Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate in the state in 2016.
He made the declaration during the birthday celebration of the former Secretary to the State Government (SSG) during his administration, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu and his wife, both of whom share same birthday.
The former governor who noted that there was no iota of doubt that he (Igbinedion), is well loved by the people of the state, added that, till date he remains the only governor whose victory at the polls was never challenged in any court of law.
He said no matter what people say, he remained a staunch member of the Peoples Democracy Party (PDP), adding that by virtue of his high rating in the party, he is in a prime position to anoint who will be the next governor of the state.
“Whoever is going to be the next governor of Edo state must be one of the founding members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state and must also be a member of the family,” he said.
According to the former governor, the people of the state would be happy when the choice of the party’s flagbearer is made, noting that, “there would be celebration all over.”
It would be recalled that Ize-Iyamu is one of those tipped as frontrunners in the PDP to contest 2016 governorship election in the state.

In what appears to be a drastic deviation from the practice in the past, Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, is gradually reducing the power of the Chief Coach of the senior national team, Stephen Keshi to call up players for the national duties.
President of the NFF, Amaju Melvin Pinnick, disclosed that henceforth the invitation of players for Eagles’ duties no longer lies exclusively with Keshi.
Pinnick revealed that invitation of players into the Super Eagles will now go through a process that will actively involve a brainstorming session with the technical study group headed by ex-international, Austin Okocha and the technical director of the federation, Shuaibu Amodu.
“Everything you are seeing has Keshi’s input; the only people that are not working really well now are the technical study group because this is a process. Keshi doesn’t have that liberty any more to say he wants to invite somebody from Greece,” Pinnick told footballlive.ng.


The controversy surrounding the invitation of players stemmed from Stephen Keshi’s call up to an unattached player in the domestic scene and even made the bench of the national team during the 2017 AFCONQ in Kaduna last weekend.
The NFF queried both Keshi and Captain Vincent Enyeama over issues surrounding Eagles AFCON qualifier against Chad.
Keshi was queried by the federation to explain why non-league striker Gabriel Okechukwu made the Eagles substitute bench, while Enyeama was to explain his comments regarding the safety of match venue Kaduna.
Striker Okechukwu features for non-league Water FC of Abuja and he failed to make the final cut for the U-20 World Cup in New Zealand after he was named on a 35-man provisional squad.
Pinnick however noted that if anything goes wrong, the federation won’t blame Keshi. “If anything goes wrong, Keshi will not be held responsible rather it is going to be Amodu and we have communicated that to him because he is also part of the process,” said Pinnick.

Coach Edwin Okon says the Super Falcons have learnt invaluable lessons with their ouster from the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.
Okon, while speaking at the post-match news conference, said the team had gained experience at the competition.
NAN recalls that the Falcons lost 0-1 to the U.S. in Vancouver on Tuesday in their final Group D game to crash out of the competition.
They ended up with one point from one draw and two losses in three matches, after scoring three goals and conceding six.
“It was a great experience for us here in Canada,” Okon said.
He however said his team lost focus, and the US only needed to hold on to their lead after Nigeria were reduced to 10 players later on during the match.
“We weren’t focused enough in a few situations today (Tuesday). And, I wasn’t surprised to see the U.S. make substitutions that were more defensive after our sending-off as they knew they were playing a good team.
“You always have a 50-50 chance in every game. Today (Tuesday), the US made the most of one of their chances and we didn’t, even though we had several,” the coach said.
NAN reports that the Falcons had earlier drawn 3-3 with Sweden and lost 0-2 to Australia.
Meanwhile, the coach of the U.S. Jill Ellis, has praised the Nigerian side for their efforts, saying his team however rose to the occasion to maintain their dominance over the Falcons.
“Nigeria gave us a good fight, as expected. They’re a dangerous team. I’m happy with the way we played both with and without the ball.
“We can attack with confidence if we have a good backline. It’s a shame we only scored one goal but we’re very happy to finish top of a difficult group,” the coach said.

MY father was kidnapped in Nigeria on a Saturday morning in early May. My brother called to tell me, and suddenly there was not enough breathable air in the world. My father is 83 years old. A small, calm, contented man, with a quietly mischievous humor and a luminous faith in God, his beautiful dark skin unlined, his hair in sparse silvery tufts, his life shaped by that stoic, dignified responsibility of being an Igbo first son.

He got his doctoral degree at Berkeley in the 1960s, on a scholarship from the United States Agency for International Development; became Nigeria’s first professor of statistics; raised six children and many relatives; and taught at the University of Nigeria for 50 years. Now he makes fun of himself, at how slowly he climbs the stairs, how he forgets his cellphone. He talks often of his childhood, endearing and rambling stories, his words tender with wisdom.

Sometimes I record his Igbo proverbs, his turns of phrase. A disciplined diabetic, he takes daily walks and is to be found, after each meal, meticulously recording his carbohydrate grams in a notebook. He spends hours bent over Sudoku. He swallows a handful of pills everyday. His is a generation at dusk.

On the morning he was kidnapped, he had a bag of okpa, apples and bottled water that my mother had packed for him. He was in the back seat of his car, his driver at the wheel, on a lonely stretch between Nsukka, the university town where he lives, and Abba, our ancestral hometown. He was going to attend a traditional meeting of men from his age group. A two-hour drive. My mother was planning their late lunch upon his return: pounded yam and a fresh soup. They always called each other when either traveled alone. This time, he didn’t call. She called him and his phone was switched off. They never switched off their phones. Hour after hour, she called and it remained off. Later, her phone rang, and although it was my father’s number calling, a stranger said, “We have your husband.”

Kidnappings are not uncommon in southeastern Nigeria and, unlike similar incidents in the Niger Delta, where foreigners are targeted, here it is wealthy or prominent local residents. Still, the number of abductions has declined in the past few years, which perhaps is why my reaction, in the aftermath of my shock, was surprise.

My close-knit family banded together more tightly and held vigil by our phones. The kidnappers said they would call back, but they did not. We waited. The desire to urge time forward numbed and ate my soul. My mother took her phone with her everywhere, and she heard it ringing when it wasn’t. The waiting was unbearable. I imagined my father in a diabetic coma. I imagined his octogenarian heart collapsing.

“How can they do this violence to a man who would not kill an ant?” my mother lamented. My sister said, “Daddy will be fine because he is a righteous man.” Ordinarily, I would never use “righteous” in a non-pejorative way. But something shifted in my perception of language. The veneer of irony fell away. It felt true. Later, I repeated it to myself. My father would be fine because he was a “righteous man.”

I understood then the hush that surrounds kidnappings in Nigeria, why families often said little even after it was over. We felt paranoid. We did not know if going public would jeopardize my father’s life, if the neighbors were complicit, if another member of the family might be kidnapped as well.

“Is my husband alive?” my mother asked, when the kidnappers finally called back, and her voice broke. “Shut up!” the male voice said. My mother called him “my son.” Sometimes, she said “sir.” Anything not to antagonize him while she begged and pleaded, about my father being ill, about the ransom being too high. How do you bargain for the life of your husband? How do you speak of your life partner in the deadened tone of a business transaction?

“If you don’t give us what we want, you will never see his dead body,” the voice said.

My paternal grandfather died in a refugee camp during the Nigeria-Biafra war and his anonymous death, his unknown grave, has haunted my father’s life. Those words — “You will never see his dead body” — shook us all.

Kidnapping’s ugly psychological melodrama works because it trades on the most precious of human emotions: love. They put my father on the phone, and his voice was a low shadow of itself. “Give them what they want,” he said. “I will not survive if I stay here longer.” My stoic father. It had been three days but it felt like weeks.

Friends called to ask for bank-account details so they could donate toward the ransom. It felt surreal. Did it ever feel real to anybody in such a situation, I wondered? The scramble to raise the money in one day. The menacingly heavy bag of cash. My brother dropping it off, through a circuitous route, in a wooded area.

Late that night, my father was taken to a clearing and set free.

While his blood sugar and pressure were checked, my father kept reassuring us that he was fine, thanking us over and over for doing all we could. This is what he knows how to be — the protector, the father — and he slipped into his role almost as a defense. But there were cracks in his spirit. A drag in his gait. A bruise on his back.


“They asked me to climb into the boot of their car,” he said. “I was going to do so, but one of them picked me up and threw me inside. Threw. The boot was full of things and I hit my head on something. They drove fast. The road was very bumpy.”

I imagined this grace-filled man crumpled inside the rear of a rusty car. My rage overwhelmed my relief — that he suffered such an indignity to his body and mind.

And yet he engaged them in conversation. “I tried to reach their human side,” he said. “I told them I was worried about my wife.”

The next day, my parents were on a flight to the United States, away from the tainted blur that Nigeria had become.

With my father’s release, we all cried, as though it was over. But one thing had ended and another begun. I constantly straddled panic; I was sleepless, unfocused, jumpy, fearful that something else had gone wrong. And there was my own sad guilt: He was targeted because of me. “Ask your daughter the writer to bring the money,” the kidnappers told him, because to appear in newspapers in Nigeria, to be known, is to be assumed wealthy. The image of my father shut away in the rough darkness of a car boot haunted me. Who had done this? I needed to know.

But ours was a dance of disappointment with the authorities. We had reported the kidnapping immediately, and the first shock soon followed: State security officials asked us to pay for anti-kidnap tracking equipment, a large amount, enough to rent a two-bedroom flat in Lagos for a year. This, despite my being privileged enough to get personal reassurances from officials at the highest levels.

How, I wondered, did other families in similar situations cope? Federal authorities told us they needed authorization from the capital, Abuja, which was our responsibility to get. We made endless phone calls, helpless and frustrated. It was as though with my father’s ransomed release, the crime itself had disappeared. To encounter that underbelly, to discover the hollowness beneath government proclamations of security, was jarring.

Now my father smiles and jokes, even of the kidnapping. But he jerks awake from his naps at the sound of a blender or a lawn mower, his eyes darting about. He recounts, in the middle of a meal, apropos of nothing, a detail about the mosquito-filled room where he was kept or the rough feel of the blindfold around his eyes. My greatest sadness is that he will never forget.

Wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame Patience Jonathan has revealed that an ailment she has been battling since 2012, which required a major operation disappeared immediately after her husband lost the 2015 Presidential election.
She spoke today at the Sunday service at the Aso Villa Chapel, the last one she and her husband would attend before the 29 May inauguration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Patience said she was due for a major operation after the election. But after her husband’s defeat in the election, further tests carried out in hospitals abroad showed that she was healthy and no longer required any operation.
She however disclosed that she went through a major operation abroad in between campaigns in January. Although Mrs. Jonathan never disclosed the nature of her illness, she was reportedly battling ovarian cancer.
Patience thanked God for making it possible for her and her husband to leave office healthy and alive.
