The proposed plan of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to move the Super Eagles World Cup 2018 Qualifiers from the Godswill Akpabio Stadium has been rejected by coach of the team Gernot Rohr.

Issues regarding logistics and attitude of the crowd made the NFF to toy with the idea of moving the games of Nigeria from the stadium, amidst reports of the stadium being placed under a spell by aggrieved residence of the land, who are claiming their land was forcefully collected from them to build the stadium.

Nigeria lost her last game at the stadium to South Africa 0-2 in their first AFCON 2019 Qualifiers, and their next competitive game which will be against Cameroon in the race to be at the World Cup 2018 is rumoured to have been shifted from the ground.

However coach of the ‎Super Eagles Gernot Rohr has kicked against the idea of moving the team from the Godswill Akpabio Stadium insisting it will affect the psychology of the players, who have taken the venue as their home.

” I am in constant touch with the team’s captain (Mikel Obi) and other senior players and they all agree that the team remains in Uyo to finish all qualifiers. Changing the venue will put the boys under pressure. The players are at home with Uyo fans”, Rohr stated.

The coach insist that the pitch didn’t contribute to his team’s loss against South Africa as speculated by many, and wants them to remain in Uyo to finish both the World Cup 2018 Qualifiers and AFCON 2019 Qualifiers as well.

The coroner in charge of the inquest constituted by the Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola to probe the cause of death of Senator Isiaka Adeleke, Olusegun Ayilara, has blamed the lawmakers death on drugs overdose.

Adeleke died on April 23, 2017.

Ayilara, while giving his verdict on Tuesday ruled out poison as the cause of death.



He stated that no trace of poison was found in Adeleke’s system according to the autopsy and toxicologist reports.

According to Ayilara, “The high dose of sedatives and analgesics with the mode of administration caused aspiration which culminated in death.”

The coroner which has been sitting for over three weeks had summoned 15 witnesses including nurse Alfred Aderibigbe who treated the late lawmaker before he died.

It makes the baby appear to take steps or dance when held upright with his or her feet touching a solid surface. It lasts until the baby is about two-months-old and helps babies develop and survive.

This however, hasn't restricted people from joking about the phenomenon.

"Gotta stretch the legs after a 9 month journey," someone wrote on Reddit.

"That baby's name: Usain Bolt," another person joked.

"That kid is going places," someone else quipped.

Nigeria's Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, has stated that FG will focus on Energy, (power and Petroleum) Industrialization and Transport infrastructure for the next two years in addition to the anti-corruption war, agriculture and security, as promised by President Muhammadu Buhari during campaign.

“It is for a country that no longer has to import petroleum products, and develops a lucrative petrochemical industry.

“Very importantly it is for a country whose fortunes are no longer tied to the price of a barrel of crude, but instead to the boundless talent and energy of its people, young and old, male and female as they invest in diverse areas of the economy,’’ he said.

"The vision was to create a country where the wealth of the many would no longer be stolen by or reserved for a few.
