Yesterday it was MACBAN agreeing with the ban.

Today it is Kautal Hore telling its members not to obey the ban.


Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) is different from Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore.

If desire name is not there, then the NFF has just told us about the hidden corrupt practices going on in the glass house....where leave out your best legs in a tour like this? What about Courtney Ozioma Dike? No one remembers her because she refuse to part away some of her bonuses for the NFF....
When EFCC, ICPC or government wades in now, they will shout crying n run to FIFA to remind us we should not interfere in football matters..but do the right things at the right moment, they won't.
What a country!
Courtney Dike's case is very different.


The reason that Courtney did not accept the reward money was because she was playing for Oklahoma State University (OSU Cowgirls) at the time and the NCAA (the US version of NUGA) has strict rules about amateur university players receiving money for playing sports. Many university athletes in the US have been unable to compete because they received some form of monetary reward for performing.

She has played for Nigeria several times after that and she even competed in the 2015 World Cup.

However, she was absent for a long time and that was because she was studying for her masters degree and CPA certification. She played for Nigeria in 2019, but she has been absent again because she is working full time as an accountant in New York.


Courtney Dike Is Now A Certified Public Accountant (CPA)

More like Texas tour.
naijaman2225:
OR HOUSTON TOUR.
GboyegaD:
These are just two cities in Texas na and not US.
grin The term is new to football, but it's quite common in cricket and rugby.

A sports tour occurs when one country goes to play a series of matches in another country. They are usually friendly matches. The games usually hold in 2 or 3 cities (obviously not in the entire country). It is called a tour of the US because the Falcons are guests of the US Federation, not of the Texas Federation and it is the US National Team that is taking part in the competition, not the Texas team.

It obviously can't be called a tour of Houston because the Falcons are not only going to play in Houston. They will also play in Austin.

It's common in rugby and cricket and the visitors are usually called "The tourists".

Who is the coach of the falcons?
Randy Waldrum (check the second post).

Desire Oparanozie's name is missing. She has been frozen out of the team since leading a protest over bonuses and pay during the 2019 World Cup in France. It has been alleged that some members of the NFF are keeping her out of the team to punish her for leading that protest. It was also alleged that the former coach, Thomas Dennerby resigned because he refused to allow anybody interfere with his team selection (that is, to exclude Oparanozie from the team).

In my humble opinion, although the Falcons have a lot of great strikers, I believe that they still need Oparanozie's experience and free kick taking ability.


9 home based players made the list and one of the reasons for this might be the fact that the new coach, Randy Waldrum, watched the Nigerian League Super 6 Tournament in Ijebu Ode last month.


Monday Gift continues FC Robo's tradition of supplying phenomenal players to the Super Falcons. She follows in the footsteps of Asisat Oshoala and Rasheedat Ajibade.

Phones › "Subscribers Not Required To Submit IMEI Number" - NCC by naptu2(op): 7:09pm On May 21, 2021
Press Statement: Subscribers not required to Submit International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) Number

WRITTEN BY MEDIA TEAM PUBLISHED: 21 MAY 2021


The attention of the Nigerian Communications Commission has been drawn to several media publications to the effect that the Commission will require Nigerians to submit the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of their phones to it from July, 2021.

At no time did the Commission issue a Statement regarding the registration of IMEI by subscribers and it has no plans to do so.

The reports in question have emanated from a section of the Revised National Identity Policy for SIM Card Registration recently launched by President Muhammadu Buhari and which has been uploaded on the Commission’s website.

It is pertinent to state that the Commission is in the process of deploying a Device Management System (DMS). The DMS will essentially protect subscribers against phone theft and will identify and enable the elimination of fake devices from the networks.

The system will capture IMEI automatically without any requirement for subscribers to submit same.

The general public is advised to disregard the said publications, which have created the erroneous impression that telephone subscribers will be required to register their IMEI with their networks.

Crime › Insecurity: No Kidnapping Recorded In Lagos State - CP Odumosu by naptu2(op): 6:26pm On May 20, 2021
See previous threads here: Kidnappers Storm Admiralty Way, Lekki, Lagos. Several Persons Abducted

and here: Kidnapping: Be Vigilant, Lekki Alerts Residents, Calls For Okada Ban


Lagos State Police Command @LagosPoliceng

POLICE PRESS RELEASE, LAGOS STATE COMMAND, DATED 20TH MAY, 2021

NO KIDNAPPING RECORDED IN LAGOS STATE... CP ODUMOSU

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has again debunked the rumours of alleged kidnapping in any part of Lagos State.

He made the declaration today Thursday 20th May, 2021 while reacting to the false news making waves on the social media that kidnappers have taken over the Admiralty Way in Lekki, Ozumba Nbadiwe Way, Lekki/Ikoyi Link Bridge and some parts of Lekki Community in Lagos.

The news was not true as the command has not recorded any case of kidnapping in the state in recent past.

The only isolated incident recorded by the command on 18th May, 2021, which went viral, was a case of "One Chance", reported by one Adegoke Joel, m, on behalf of one Adenike Kosoko, f, who boarded a private car at Admiralty Way, opposite Zenith Bank, Lekki on 18th May, 2021 at about 7.30pm. Unfortunately, the two (2) male occupants of the car turned to be One Chance operators that drove her around Lekki and Ikate, Lagos before she was dropped.

In the course of investigation, it was revealed that she was dropped by the culprits same day before 12am at Ikate Area, Lagos State. The hoodlums only used her ATM card to withdraw the sum of One Hundred and Ten Thousand naira ( ₦110,000) from her bank account.

The Command therefore wishes to state categorically that it was a pure case of "One Chance" which the command has been tackling in the state and more efforts are being channelled towards eradicating the menace and other social vices in the state.

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has however ordered that the matter be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, for discreet investigation as he promised to fish out the culprits in no time.

The police boss further appealed to Lagosians to always patronise Lagos State branded and registered commercial vehicles to avoid any of such incident in the state.

There's a difference between MACBAN and Kautal Hore.

Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) is not the same organisation as Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore.
