[b][size=14pt] Sunday Oliseh To Recall Brown Ideye After Two Years In International Wilderness? [/size] https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/72113Ideye.jpg Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh is contemplating whether or not to invite Olympiakos striker Brown Ideye for next month’s African Cup of Nations qualifying fixtures against Egypt. Gazzetta.gr has speculated that the former Juventus and Ajax Amsterdam midfielder will call up Ideye for the double-header on the heels of his outstanding performance in the Greek Super League. Since Oliseh took over from Stephen Keshi as the Super Eagles coach, Ideye has not featured for the national team, with his last appearance coming against Italy in a pre-World Cup friendly on November 18,2013. Oliseh said in September 2015 : “Ideye is one of the players that I will immediately watch. He is in my plans and I want to see him playing for Olympiakos. “His movement in Greece will be good for him and for Olympiakos. Of course this will help me enlist him to my options.” Ideye has been involved in 14 goals across all competitions so far this season. http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=17939 [/b] |
[b][size=14pt] Obi Mikel Explains Why He Fouled Lucas Moura [/size] https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/66830Chelsea.jpg John Obi Mikel is not writing off Chelsea’s chances of advancing to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League despite the Londoners suffering a 2-1 loss at the hands of PSG on Tuesday night. The Nigeria international admitted that he had to foul Lucas Moura because he was approaching Chelsea’s penalty box. “I had to fall in because he was going deeper and deeper into our 18-yard box,” Mikel told reporters. “I had to, if not get the ball, foul him, which I did. And then the free kick as well just skipped off my feet and went into the back of the net. “But we came back strong as well, but we’re very disappointed to have lost the game.” The Chelsea number twelve added : “We know they’re a very good team. Our aim was to come out here and get a goal and we’ve done that tonight. “We still have the second leg to play back home, so we have to take that back home and capitalise on that and make sure we build on that.” The 28-year-old Mikel played his 58th game in the Champions League against the French opponents. http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=17938 [/b] |
[b][size=14pt] Egypt not as hot as before – Oliseh [/size] Pius Ayinor https://www.punchng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Sunday-Oliseh.jpg Super Eagles Coach, Sunday Oliseh Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh has said that he is confident that the Super Eagles can secure the maximum points against Egypt in their 2017 Africa Cup of Nations double-header in March, disclosing that the North Africans are no longer as good as they used to be. The former Eagles captain is hopeful that a decent preparation ahead of the games in Kaduna and Cairo would give his team a good chance of qualifying for the 2017 AFCON. He said, “The Egyptian team is far from the one of four years ago. So our chances are bright. “We just need to concentrate and try to win for Nigeria.” The Egyptians had been dominant on the continent over the decades but have practically struggled in the last six years having failed to qualify for the AFCON within this period. They last featured in Angola 2010, where they beat Nigeria 3-1 in the group stage. The Nigerian team, which had been returning to fairly good times, dipped again soon after winning the 2013 AFCON, thus leaving both sides on virtually the same pedestal as the battle for Gabon 2017 continues. The first leg originally billed for March 23 in Kaduna had been moved to the 26th – a move the coach believes will help the Eagles to prepare in a better fashion. “Yes, it was my idea to ask for a slight shift to give us time to work,” he told The PUNCH on Tuesday. But despite the Nigeria Football Federation’s announcement that the match will now be played on March 26, it seems the Egyptians are yet to come to terms with the new date as reports credited to the Egyptian FA suggest they have yet to be informed of the change by the Confederation of African Football. Egypt Football Association claims it is not aware of any change and will go ahead with the initial plan to play the game on March 23. “No official letters have been received yet regarding the Nigeria-Egypt game’s rescheduling and we’ll announce when we get confirmation,” EFA board member Ehab Lehitah told efa.com.eg. “Egypt will start a training camp ahead of the qualifiers on February 23, four days before they play Burkina Faso in a friendly in Borg El-Arab Stadium, Alexandria.” Nigeria are two points behind Egypt in Group G of the qualifiers. http://www.punchng.com/egypt-not-as-hot-as-before-oliseh/ [/b] |

The defensive midfielder was not involved in last weekend’s game against Hull City as a result of illness and is doubtful to face the Londoners as well as Hanley and Graham. “We’ll have to wait until the last minute to see how they are. Hope trained this morning after his bug, and we’ll see how Danny and Grant are tomorrow,” Lambert told Blackburn official website on Monday. “They did little bits this morning so we’ll give them every chance to see.” Akpan has featured 25 times in the second - tier and was on target against Sheffield Wednesday (November 28) and Queens Park Rangers(January 12). http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=17932 [/b] |

[b][size=14pt] Nigeria: Moses Ready for Eagles-Pharaohs Match [/size] By Tony Ubani Super Eagles West Ham player, Victor Moses was rattled by media reports Monday over his injury that he called the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, to assure that he was hale and hearty and ready to play his first match under coach Sunday Oliseh against the Pharaohs of Egypt. The Chelsea player who is on loan to West Ham, has not kicked a ball for the Eagles since Oliseh took over the reins of the national team assured the NFF of his availability for the all important Nations Cup double header against Egypt in Kaduna on March 26. NFF's spokesman, Ademola Olajire confirmed yesterday that Moses called the football house to pledge his availability and loyalty to coach Oliseh. "Victor Moses called yesterday about media reports that he was injured. He said he was ready to play for the Eagles and dismissed that he was injured", Olajire said. Nigeria face Egypt in back-to-back 2017 African Cup of Nations fixtures next month. The Eagles are two points behind group leaders Egypt after two rounds of matches with only the group winners guaranteed automatic qualification to the tournament in Gabon. http://allafrica.com/stories/201602160068.html [/b] |
[b][size=14pt] Nigeria: 'NFF Responsible for Oliseh's Stay Abroad' [/size] By Mike Oboh The inability of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to secure accommodation for the Super Eagles' Chief Coach Sunday Oliseh has been attributed to his (Oliseh) failure to stay in Nigeria. Oliseh, who has not settled down in Nigeria since his assumption of office seven months ago, was said to have turned down the decision of his employers to accommodate him in a hotel in Abuja. The coach, who is on N5 million housing allowance, had requested the NFF to secure accommodation for him in the capital city instead of the option of a hotel accommodation. A dependable source told Daily Trust in Abuja yesterday that Oliseh was ready to relocate to Abuja to concentrate on his assignment but the failure of the federation to meet part of their contractual agreement was responsible for his decision to remain in Belgium. The source also said the same applies to his three assistants, whose housing allowance is N2.5million each. His foreign assistant, Jean Francois Losciuto, on several occasions was stranded in Lagos after returning from national assignment with the team because of lack of accommodation. Losciuto has to move to Togo to stay with his friend while Alloy Agu and Yusuf Salihu return to their bases in Lagos and Kano respectively. A top NFF official, who spoke to our correspondent yesterday, said paucity of funds in the federation was responsible for the inability of the federation to secure accommodation for the manager. The NFF spokesman, Ademola Olajire when contacted said the body was working out the best way to resolve the coaches' accommodation problem. "The NFF is working out ways to resolve the coaches' accommodation problem that is all I can say on that," Olajire said. http://allafrica.com/stories/201602160376.html [/b] |
[size=14pt] Unknown Nigerian Okoye lifts Cypriot club [/size] https://africanfootball.com//bp_images/2016/02/Samm_15_Feb_2.jpg Emmanuel Okoye Relatively unknown Nigerian striker Emmanuel Okoye was the hero of his Cypriot top flight league team Paphos as he scored a brace in a 4-1 trouncing of Ayia Napa. Okoye netted in the 17th minute to level scores at 1-1. He went on to complete a brace with a goal in the 38th minute to give his team a 3-1 lead. The striker ended his goals’ drought with a brace on Sunday after he failed to find the back of the net in 19 previous games. The 24-year-old striker has played for Panionios(Greece) and Aris Limassol(Cyprus). Nigeria defender Rasheed Alabi was not dressed for Paphos as he was serving a match ban due to red card. http://africanfootball.com//news/612046/Unknown-Nigerian-Okoye-lifts-Cypriot-club |
[b][size=14pt] Watford striker Odion Ighalo: Arsenal's Laurent Koscielny has been my toughest opponent of the season. James Benge [/size] https://static.standard.co.uk/s3fs-public/styles/story_large/public/thumbnails/image/2016/02/16/10/IghaloKoscielny.jpg Vicarage victor: Koscielny steals possession from Ighalo PAUL ELLIS/AFP/Getty Images. Few defenders have managed to keep Odion Ighalo quiet during the Nigerian international's impressive first season in the Premier League. However Laurent Koscielny was among the few to tame the Watford striker, who hailed the Arsenal centre-back as the best he has faced so far in England's top flight. Ighalo, scorer of 14 Premier League goals this season, was largely marked out of the game when the two sides met at Vicarage Road in October, with Arsenal running out comfortable 3-0 winners. Collecting his award for Nigerian footballer of the Year Ighalo told Goal: "I think I've faced a lot of tough defenders this season. "But I would say that against Arsenal Koscielny didn't give me enough space to do what I want to do and that game was really difficult." This season has seen Koscielny emerge as Arsene Wenger's first-choice centre-back, with Per Mertesacker and Gabriel doing battle to join him in the starting lineup over recent weeks. Arsenal have conceded just 23 goals in 26 games this season, a record bettered only by Tottenham. http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/watford-striker-odion-ighalo-arsenals-laurent-koscielny-has-been-my-toughest-opponent-of-the-season-a3181421.html [/b] |
[b][size=14pt] Arsenal's Alex Iwobi Is A Ticking Time Bomb by Josh Sippie Follow @@sippenator101 [/size] https://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/uploads/getty-images/2016/02/507564246-arsenal-v-burnley-the-emirates-fa-cup-fourth-round-768x0.jpg LONDON, ENGLAND - JANUARY 30: Alex Iwobi of Arsenal breaks past Stephen Ward of Burnley during the The Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round match between Arsenal and Burnley at Emirates Stadium on January 30, 2016 in London, England. (Photo by Stuart MacFarlane/Arsenal FC via Getty Images) Arsenal have a vast collection of youngsters but none of them appear quite as ready as Alex Iwobi. The young Nigerian is ticking down until he explodes into significance. I must admit, I am guilty of not giving Alex Iwobi the credit he deserves. I am so enamored with the likes of Donyell Malen, Krystian Bielik and Jeff Reine-Adelaide that the 19 year old sitting on the Arsenal bench continues to elude more significant notice. But to a certain extent, it is easy to see why. Whereas the 16-18 year old wonderkids are doing fancy tricks and scoring insane goals in the U21 side, Alex Iwobi is just biding his time. He comes and goes in the U21 side, moving up and down between youth squad and senior. While loanees like Jon Toral blasts in goals from distance, Chuba Akpom nets hat tricks and Gedion Zelalem takes Scotland by storm, Iwobi trains behind the scenes and sits and waits. And yet, everyone is eager with the anticipation of what Iwobi brings to the side. And by everyone, I quite literally mean everyone. Arsene Wenger is just the latest to sing the young Nigerian’s praises. Iwobi has been rotating between the U21s and Arsenal’s senior squad bench all season. Which brings me to another reason why he has had so few opportunities to impress. He is caught in that limbo between being a prospect and breaking into the first team. He and Serge Gnabry are both there. The two have made impressive appearances for the first team but that was mostly as fill-ins. There was never actually a spot for them. So now they wait. In the meantime, Alex Iwobi made a brilliant decision in choosing Nigeria over England. By doing so, he is setting himself up to become a major contributor at the international level, as well as a leader, at a very young age. The successes of this endeavor will reverberate into the Premier League. But that success may come before he sticks in the starting XI. Iwobi has gobs of potential. He is a big, strong winger with the ability to drive right at the defense. We have seen him do such things, mainly against Burnley and we even saw him score a rather impressive goal in the preseason. All this adds up to is that Alex Iwobi is like a ticking time bomb. With each brief appearance for Arsenal, Iwobi is going to see how crucial each opportunity is and before long, we are going to see a marvelous effort in which he proclaims his merit to be a member of the first team. Arsene Wenger has saved Iwobi a spot, that’s for sure. The young Nigerian can play left wing or attacking mid. Currently, Arsenal’s two superstars, Alexis and Ozil hold down those two roles, respectively. But they are all Arsenal have in those two roles. So when they need a breather or when a lesser competition pokes in, Iwobi will be ready. Then, all he has to do is explode onto the pitch. http://paininthearsenal.com/2016/02/16/arsenals-alex-iwobi-is-a-ticking-time-bomb/ [/b] |

justiz5: What is constructive criticism by your understanding. When we criticize this government for obvious reasons that are not hidden, you and your likes call us names. Does it me you want us all to keep wallowing in the same ignorance? We all desire something better than what we have seen.

[b][size=14pt] Buhari, time we stopped lying to ourselves [/size] https://leadership.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/buhari.jpg President Muhammadu Buhari Posted By: Abimbola Adelakun President Muhammadu Buhari is not in an enviable position right now. Just a year ago, Nigerians were chanting “FeBuhari” and piling their mountains of soteriological expectations on him. In about six weeks, it would be one year since he won the presidential election and if anything, Nigeria has proved tougher than what body language, or mere force of the President’s much touted incorruptible personality, can successfully heal. For a man who became President by surfing on the wave of democratic discontent lunged at his opponent, it was clear from the start to any perspicacious observer that his administration would be weighed down by the burden of proof: to show the crowd of fawning admirers, supporters and believers that he was in charge, that their truth in him was not misplaced, and that he was indeed winning the war against bad governance. One way to do this was to ramp up mundane government activity and milk it of its highest propaganda value. I have been an adult citizen for a while but I cannot recall any other government that ecstatically wallows in pornography of propaganda like this present one. Everywhere one turns in Nigeria these days, it seems there is a loud raucous noise of government officials emoting over the President’s successes in the past months, a pesky din aimed at drowning dissension, reason and well-meaning criticisms. In the past few weeks, in a bid to share testimonies of government magic, we have been treated to exaggerated claims of government efficacy, larded with what the late Ola Rotimi would have referred to as “terminological inexactitudes.” One example is the claim that the government has saved a whopping N2.2tn in three months, a feat owing to the Treasury Single Account initiative. Let me acknowledge that all governments in the world routinely lie to their citizens but the nature of the lie, and the depth of thought that enshrouds it, shows the level of respect they have for the citizens. I will not dismiss the N2.2tn story as an outright lie but consider the remote possibility that the truth exists somewhere but only as a thin film of truth that is being overstretched to the point of illogicality. How does a country that can barely pay salaries save so much in such a short time and yet nothing still changes in her fortunes? Did they mean they save some existing money from being spent or that sum is the amount that could have been wasted if they had not been so diligent? How does this government begin to even convince us that it saved the nation such exorbitant amount when her 2016 budget is replete with errors, duplications and frauds so massive that reading through the items analysed by various media made one tremble in shame at the outright lack of attentiveness that was invested into its preparations? How can you be so grossly incompetent in one aspect and then claim you are opposite in another? For a President who embodied the image of military discipline and asceticism, this budget deconstructs and demystifies him. From the way the budget was presented and withdrawn amidst lies and denials, a lot has been going wrong suggesting poor administrative capability. Buhari owes Nigerians an explanation and an apology for the inferior effort that went into this budget preparation. Rather than outsource the blame, he should take responsibility for it. In a sane society, whole heads of department would be tendering their resignation by now. One is tempted to ask how Nigeria got to this level but then, has our national existence not been characterised by such slipshoddiness? Rather than continue to peddle propaganda and spread false cheer about the progress we have made, I think it is time we admitted that our systems are warped, unwieldy and unsustainable. Like the budget itself, Nigeria was designed to sustain the mechanisms through which corruption operates rather than advance the nation. We do not need the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Muhammed, to come up with another excuse to cover sheer incompetence. The lies told by this government are not helping anybody – neither government nor citizens. What it does is to further erode our collective integrity and the will to transcend our shortcomings. Telling lies about defeating Boko Haram in order to overshadow the fact that we are fighting a resilient war with largely analogue methods has not as much as deflated reality, so why not try tell the truth for a change? Rather than the hysterical claim about some officials “sneaking” in huge sums items into the budget, we need a more introspective look at how these things happen. We need genuine answers based on sincere analysis of the problem, not more lies or excuses exonerating themselves from these glaring failures. How is it possible for anyone – mafia or not – to sneak items into the budget? What of items that were not sneaked in -such as the huge sums allocated to running facilities in Aso Rock at the expense of poor deprived citizenry? What level of oversight went into the preparation that a number of items escaped scrutiny? This is a part I do not understand: Is the budget manually prepared? I mean, do civil servants compute the national budget through manual calculation or they take the smarter, efficient route of using modern computer software, customised for Nigeria? The scale of fraud and shoddiness in that budget suggests that there are too many human interventions in the process. How does a nation progress when it micromanages itself? For a while, Buhari’s government has had it good with Nigerians who keep extending it a long rope of excuses. Now, the length is enough to hang everyone. Rather than throw up our hands and jump on the same old gravy train of blaming previous administrations, or mouth the same set of impotent excuses of corruption, the government should look inward and admit to itself its own lack of preparations for the huge task that Nigerians handed to it in 2015. There are many days when it seems that the All Progressives Congress was never prepared for the reality of victory until it was too late. That is why they have been floundering, weighing every day of their administration against the unpopularity of their hapless predecessor. For people who were ushered to power mouthing some of the most outrageous promises ever, their days in office should have exposed him to the cold stinging harshness of reality. They – like many of us – would have learnt that there are no easy solutions to Nigeria’s many problems. Our problems are many, twisted, unending but not insurmountable. One only needs to pay attention to President Buhari himself to realise that he is overwhelmed and probably privately haunted by the scale of challenges facing his government. Lately, in a conversation with members of the Nigerian community in the United Kingdom, he stated that he had wondered to himself why fate would deal him an unruly hand – making him President at a time when the nation’s fortunes were plunging; that he prayed for Nigerians who would suffer the consequences of the circumstances. These words, when taken up by the most fanatical of his followers, will expectedly be misconstrued as a testimony of his honesty. Underlining it however is the ruminations of a man yet to understand why he was chosen to occupy office at such a time like this. Buhari has never been a philosopher-king but his private cogitations like this one, voiced out, are less than inspiring. By now he should have known that great leaders are not made in good times. Rather, they are forged in the crucible of dwindled fortunes. Coming into office at the time oil rate is falling is not the problem; not having enough imagination to confront what looms ahead is what dooms us. https://infotrust.com.ng/buhari-time-we-stopped-lying-to-ourselves/ [/b] |
[b][size=14pt] CS Sfaxien Make New Move For Golden Eaglets Star Lukman Zakari [/size] https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/football_pics/52211michael.jpg Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Tunisian Ligue 1 club CS Sfaxien have reignited their interest in Nigeria Under 17 international Lukman Zakari. A proposed move to the Juventus of the Arabs fell through in December due to the actions of rival agents, who approached the defender’s family with imaginary offers from English Premier League teams. In the coming days, the central defender and his bonafide intermediary will jet out to Tunisia to formalize his transfer to CS Sfaxien, with the player expected to append his signature to a preliminary contract that will be activated in December 2016. Portuguese club Boavista showed interest in Lukman Zakari after the Fifa Under 17s only for the youngster to reject the move. The Unity Academy star made seven appearances for the Golden Eaglets in Chile. www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=17857 [/b] |
justiz5:I never mentioned in my post that PMB is the cause of the people's woes. But as a leader and a President of Nigeria and someone who should understand the importance of peace and the role it plays in a multi ethnic and socio cultural society which he happens to lead. The issue of militia by the cattle rearers should have been on top of his priority list. Secondly, the issue of regional militia is a move which will definitely undermine the peace of not only the affected region, but that of the whole country. So leave that issue and raise another better one. But in case you do not have, you can do your self good by keeping quite. No insult intended |
