Does Osinbajo have right to rejects any of the aides if he is not comfortable?

Addme:
All I'm seeing here are Advisers to the President and not to the vice President.
If these appointees are to work with the Vice President from the president sides then your heading is wrong OP.

Nigeria U20 women's team are through to the 2019 African Games semi-finals after earning a 1-1 draw against Cameroon in Rabat on Wednesday.

The Falconets went into the encounter on the back of Saturday's opening 3-0 triumph over South Africa.

The Central Africans started the encounter brightly and were rewarded with a lead through Claudia Dabda in the 26th minute.

In the second half, the West Africans came alive in the contest and found a breakthrough when Chinyere Igbomalu levelled matters seven minutes after the restart.

The two sides pressed high in the final stages but neither could find the back of the net before they shared the spoils at Stade des Chenes.

The result means Nigeria are through to the next round with four points after two games, while Cameroon will have to battle South Africa for the other place in the last four on Saturday.

Nigeria’s Flying Eagles recorded their first victory in the men’s football event of the ongoing 12th All Africa Games,
edging out South Africa 2-1 on Tuesday at l the Stade Hassan Moulay, Rabat, reports Completesports.com.

The win was Flying Eagles’ first at the Games after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Burkina Faso in their first Group A fixture last Friday.

The Amajita dominated the opening exchanges, but it was the Flying Eagles that took the lead on the hour mark through Collins Sor following a cross from the near side.

The Flying Eagles had other chances but failed to double their lead before the end of the first half.

The South Africans went in search of the equaliser after the break and their efforts were rewarded when Ofentse Mashiane hit the back of the net in the 55th minute with a powerful shot following a superb delivery by Siyanda Msani from a set piece.

Abubakar Ahmad however netted the winning goal for Nigeria 14 minutes from time.

Paul Aigbogun’s charges will take on hosts Morocco in their last group game on Friday.

What type of qualifications be this?? That's too much. We are Africa's best and we need no more qualifiers except they don't want any African representative. By the time u include almighty USA and Japan in a pre-qualifier how do u expect us to qualify.

That rule is a complete Bullish*t!!!

How can an Olympic tournament not have a continental representative

African sports administrators are very slow.

The massive gains that our heroes past (people like Tessema) fought for are being reversed and African sports administrators can not see it.



Once upon a time, it was virtually impossible for African teams to qualify for global competitions like the World Cup and World Championships. People like Tessema fought to ensure that Africa got adequate representation, but that's being reversed at the moment.


I'll use an existing example to illustrate my point. Once upon a time, teams like Red Star Belgrade and Steau Bucharest could win the European Cup. Then the system was changed and a new competition called the Champions League was introduced.

Gradually some countries were given more spots than others (previously, only champions played in the Champions League/European Cup, but now second and third placed teams from some nations are allowed to play in the competition).

Then, some countries were made to play a qualifying series in order to get into the competition, while others could skip the qualifiers.

And now it's impossible for teams like Red Star and Steau to win the Champions League (the odds are stacked against them).


This is the case with the proposed enlarged FIFA World Cup and it's also the case with FIBA's new Olympics and World Cup qualifying system. Soon there will be no African teams in those competitions.
