Emenike obviously doesn't have the kind of close control that Kanu has. He should have left the ball with Kanu.

GOAL!!! Samuel Etoo turned the defence inside out and passed to Pawpaw, who held off Godfrey Oboabona and fired the ball past Ike Shorunmu.

Samuel Etoo fell in the penalty area, the referee showed him a white card and he showed the referee a yellow card.

Pawpaw passes to Stephen Appiah who puts the ball in the goal, but the referee rules it offside.

Okocha has been absolutely fantastic. He's so good that Samuel Eto'o (playfully) told the coach to sub him.

oseo1:
That was slightly different in that Ovonramwen was overthrown by an act of war, and there were many casualties on both sides. After he was removed Benin then became part of the British empire so they chose the king. Since then it has returned to normal. And the first son of the Oba ascends after his fathers death.
You've stated the point of convergence in your post. You wrote, "After he was removed Benin then became part of the British empire so they chose the king."

Similarly, Benin is now part of Nigeria and is governed according to Nigerian laws.

Think about it this way, if (God fobid) there is a military coup today and the Federal Military Government feels that it is unhappy with the crown prince of Benin and it doesn't want him to be crowned Oba, what do you think will happen? It's the same thing that happened with Oba Ovonramwen. The military government will exile the crown prince and appoint someone else to rule in his place (just like the british got Obaseki to rule in the oba's place). They will then wait until the crown prince dies and see if his son is acceptable to them before approving his coronation.

Remember, the people of Sokoto rioted when Dasuki was appointed as the Sultan, but the government brought in soldiers and mobile police. The people wanted Sultan Muhammadu Siddiki II's son to be appointed as the sultan. Instead the government appointed Dasuki (remember that the sultan was the most powerful traditional leader in Nigeria at this time).

When Abacha became head of state, he removed Dasuki (through the governor) and appointed the late sultan's son (Mohammed Macido) as sultan.

The truth is that the government can appoint who it wants (as long as it is in tandem with the law) and nothing will happen. The only concern is that democratically elected governors might be afraid to lose elections.

The british invaded Benin in 1897, deposed the oba and exiled him to Calabar. The oba's son, Prince Aiguobasinwin Ovonramwen moved to his aunt's house and began farming in order to earn a living. This he did until the british consul eventually called him back to Benin.

In the meantime, the british consul ruled Benin in conjunction with Chief Agho Ogbedeoyo (the Obaseki of Benin).

Oba Ovonramwen died in 1914 and a succession crisis between Chief Agho Ogbedeoyo (who had acted as the oba when Oba Ovonramwen was deposed by the british) and Prince Aiguobasinwin Ovonramwen ensued. It seemed that Chief Ogbedeoyo would be crowned as the new oba, but strong evidence by some Benin chiefs eventually made the british consul rule in favour of Prince Aiguibasinwin. The british consul thus approved the appointment of Prince Aiguobasinwin Ovonramwen as the new Oba of Benin (Oba Eweka II) and that was how the practice of the consul (or governor) approving the appointment of the Oba began.

The Lagos State Government will formally welcome President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday on a two-day working visit to the State. It will be President Buhari’s first official visit to the state since he assumed office about a year ago.

A statement issued by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, stated that this is the first time in about 15 years that a sitting President will be visiting the State on a working visit and is a testimony to the landmark achievements in the last one year of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode as well as the good working relationship between Lagos State and the Federal Government.

Ayorinde added that President Buhari during the visit, would formally commission the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Rescue Unit in Cappa Oshodi built by the State Government to ensure prompt and swift response to emergency situations in the State.

He said the President would thereafter commission the newly constructed Ago Palace Way in Okota, Isolo after which he will pay homage to the Oba of Lagos, His Royal Majesty, Oba Babatunde Rilwanu Aremu Akiolu at the Iga Iduganran, Lagos Island.

The Commissioner disclosed further that the President would later in the day be hosted to a reception rally by the State Government at the Tafawa Balewa Square, (TBS) Lagos where he will also commission and hand over security equipment and vehicles contributed by the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode-led administration to securities agencies to beef up security in the state.

The release added that activities for the first day of the President’s visit would be rounded up with a State Banquet in his honour at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island.

The President will on Tuesday participate as the Special Guest of Honour at a breakfast session with Corporate Lagos to be hosted by Governor Ambode at the Lagos State House, Marina, after which he will have a short session with the public service at the State House, Alausa-Ikeja.

The Commissioner quoted Governor Akinwunmi Ambode as being joyous over this landmark presidential visit to the State that contributed so much to his emergence as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

He added that Lagosians are looking forward with excitement to receive the President in the State, just as he urged residents to bear with law enforcement agents and traffic control authorities who will effect road diversions in some of the routes that the President motorcade will pass through during the visit.
