https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/320/cpsprodpb/BD3A/production/_88024484_emenike_getty.jpg Emenike arrives on loan from Turkish club Fenerbahce
West Ham have signed Fenerbahce striker Emmanuel Emenike on loan, with an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.
The Nigeria international has been on loan at Qatari club Al Ain this season.
"I'm very happy and very excited that I'm here," 28-year-old Emenike told the club's website.
"I have always known West Ham as a great club. I have known [manager Slaven] Bilic for years and thank God we are here together."
Bilic previously managed Besiktas, based in Istanbul, Turkey - the city rivals of Fenerbahce.
Emenike, who has scored nine goals in 37 international appearances, becomes the club's second signing of the January transfer window, after Leeds defender Sam Byram. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35456479 |

XperiaZ6: Well, Nigeria needs to review some of it's outdated laws . Did you know that the tallest building in the entire Southern Nigeria(apart fom lagos ) in the 70s was in Oron ? A 7 storey building which still stands there today. It remained the tallest building in akwa ibom/crossriver if not the niger delta until Godswill akpbaio built the 15 storey hotel at ikot ekepene . I heard The owner wanted to build a 30 storey building with elevator,but the eastern governor along with his entourage raced to Oron to put a stop from going further.All because They feared that it would fall . It's a debate that keeps going back and forth. There were also concerns about the centre of gravity of double decker buses (routemasters) in the UK in the late 1990s and this led to the introduction of articulated buses (the so called "bendy bus" ). However, it was discovered that the bendy buses are even more dangerous than double decker buses and so bendy buses are now out while double deckers are back in. But I do agree with you that they should be used in Nigeria. Katsina State never had any problems with them in the late 1980s, neither did the inter-state transport companies, so I don't think they would cause unusual safety problems. Regarding the tallest building in southern Nigeria: remember that Cocoa House in Ibadan was completed in 1965. |

Double decker buses have been used for public transportation in Nigeria in the past. The new state of Katsina used it as its main form of public transport in the late 1980s and interstate transporters, eg The Young Shall Grow Motors, also used double decker buses in the early 2000s. Lagos and Cross River States also have open top double decker buses, but these are used as tourist buses, not for public transportation. However, it's against Nigerian law to use double decker buses. Nigerian law places limitations on the height of vehicles (I can't remember how many metres) because of the high centre of gravity and fears that high vehicles could easily tip over. That's why the FRSC threatened inter-state transporters that they would seize their double decker buses and prosecute their drivers. byrron: I remember seeing this buses in my childhood day's in kaduna state and all of a sudden, they all vanished into oblivion. Pavore9: l travelled with one from Enugu to lagos. way back in 2000. We had passengers who sat on the stairs who paid for "attachment". |

The 19-year-old Nigerian is no stranger to City fans but is yet to receive a great deal of recognition elsewhere, something which is sure to change in the coming weeks and months
It's time to talk about Kelechi Iheanacho. Manchester City fans know they have got a serious talent on their hands and, soon enough, the rest of the world will know what all the fuss is about.
The 19-year-old Nigerian, recruited after lighting up the 2013 Under-17 World Cup, only got his papers through last February and spent time at Colombus Crew in the United States and was even stationed out in Barcelona as work permit issues dragged on. He was wowing City fans before he was officially a City player - showing flashes on two pre-season tours and impressing for the club's Elite Development Squad - and moments like today feel a long time coming.
After more than a year's worth of red tape, he has wasted little time showing what he's capable of, but still he is far from a household name
Just seconds into his second ever competitive senior appearance, against Crystal Palace back in September, he drifted into exactly the right area at exactly the right time to score a vital, last-gasp winner for a team who had established themselves as runaway favourites for the title.
https://u.goal.com/2606800/2606892.jpg
Unfortunately for him, that fell the same day as Anthony Martial made his first impression on English football, coming off the bench to score a fairytale goal against Liverpool on his first appearance for Manchester United.
Chelsea had lost to Everton that lunchtime as Jose Mourinho's second spell at Stamford Bridge began to unravel, leaving Iheanacho pushed off the back pages and shunted towards the end of Match of the Day.
Wider exposure would have to wait. Until today, perhaps. City boss Manuel Pellegrini has been criticised by many fans for failing to give Iheanacho more first-team action, even as Sergio Aguero and Wilfried Bony have missed out through injury, meaning he has largely had to strut his stuff in cup competitions or in late league cameos. It's hard to say he could have done much more.
The youngster scored on his first senior start, against Palace in the League Cup, and was - finally, in the eyes of some - handed a full Premier League debut against Norwich City in the next game at the end of October. That was one opportunity he failed to grasp and found himself limited to late substitute appearances, often when the game was long lost, for the next 10 weeks: he did not start another league match until January 16.
In that time another League Cup goal against Hull City seemed to have fallen off the radar of the general football conciousness, and he was very fortunately credited with another dramatic winner, this time when Yaya Toure's shot deflected off his back and looped into the Swansea net.
It was at Norwich City in the last round of the FA Cup when he made it five goals in four starts with a cool effort from the edge of the box, but that strike and an impressive wider performance was limited to short internet highlights for the majority of City fans, let alone neutrals, given the FA Cup's limited television audience - and lack of illegal streams - around the world.
He had linked up well with Aguero in a 4-4-2 that day but the experiment was not particularly successful when tested again in the league against Palace a fortnight ago.
On Saturday, though, he was chosen as the lead striker in a 4-2-3-1 shape and took full advantage. Just four minutes in he bundled home a corner - another instinctive strike - to put City ahead. Fabian Delph, the former Aston Villa man, had a toy snake waved at him by a young boy as he lined up the set-piece. Instant karma at work in the Midlands.
If Iheanacho's first goal of the day was somewhat scrappy, the second highlighted his huge confidence. Raheem Sterling had looked set to take the penalty he had won seconds earlier, but Kelechi took the ball - without argument, seemingly - put it on the spot, stuttered his run-up to fox Brad Guzan and then slotted the ball slightly to the left of centre of goal. It was one of those penalties that can look terrible if not done properly. But Iheanacho knows what he's doing.
Clearly. Having been put through on goal thanks to a dreadful back-pass, he advanced on Guzan from just inside the Villa half, kept his cool, sized up the big American stopper, picked his spot and rolled in his hat-trick.
The evidence is there. Playing up front is no easy task for the best of strikers, let alone a 19-year-old, but he has shown that he has what it takes to play the role. The goals will speak for themselves but a fine cross-field through ball to Jesus Navas, reminiscent of his assist for Manu Garcia earlier in the season, was also sublime.
Iheanacho has scored in all three competitions in which he has played this season and is set to be included in City's Champions League squad when the squad list is re-submitted on Tuesday.
With Wilfried Bony still a couple of weeks away from fitness - and, frankly, having failed to convince - and Aguero unlikely to play every single game from now until the end of the season, Iheanacho is ready to take centre stage.
Given that his previous exploits - largely in the cup - have failed to earn him recognition as one of the Premier League's top propsects, if not one of the best young talents in world football, a stellar showing in the FA Cup against the worst Villa team in recent memory is unlikely to win over a great deal of new followers.
But ignore him at your peril http://www.goal.com/en/news/780/fa-cup/2016/01/30/19829292/remember-the-name-kelechi-iheanacho-is-a-manchester-city-star-in- |
Politics › Re: Southern Governors' Forum Should Be Established by naptu2: 1:48pm On Jan 30, 2016 |
id911: It was established sometimes ago, yes! But is it still functioning at present compare to the one in the north? No! Can it be resuscitated for our common good? Yes! You should at least understand where I'm coming from Finally! We are now on the same page. Someone who read your opening post and the title of the thread might have thought that there was never a southern governors forum and that it's impossible for southern governors to cooperate. The forum was quite useful up to the 2003 elections. The fallout of the 2003 elections affected it a bit, but it continued to function until c2006 (the run up to the 2007 elections). So the main problem they faced was partisan differences (PDP vs AD/AC vs ANPP vs APGA, etc). All through this period the north was dominated by the PDP and the ANPP. So I believe that they can meet again, but the main question is whether they can overcome their partisan differences. |
Politics › Re: Southern Governors' Forum Should Be Established by naptu2: 1:26pm On Jan 30, 2016 |
id911: So what was your reason for bringing them up Southern Governors' Forum Should Be Established id911: There is Northern Governors' Forum where all governors in the north, irrespective of party affiliations, meet once in a while to discuss issues affecting the north thereby always coming out with one voice when issues of national importance occur.
Sometimes they meet the Head of State to present their position on what will better the lives of their people in the north. But here in the south, we don't have such.
Please my brothers and sisters, we should ask our governors in the west, SS/SE why they have refused to cooperate for our common good Southern Governors' Forum Should Be Established 1) The Southern Governors Forum was established a long time ago. 2) You can call for a meeting of the forum, but it's strange to call for the establishment of something that has already been established. 3) Governors of the SW, SE, SS have "refused to cooperate for our common good". That's not true. It was the Southern Governors Forum that met to coordinate the lawsuits against the Federal Government during the onshore and offshore dichotomy crisis. They often met to take positions in the interest of the people of the southern states. |
