Try and read the content and understand what you read.... The Report says that the Senators-Elect are pushing for 2011 standing order which supports open ballot system which is what APC want also... The 2015 distributed by Sani-Omolori who happens to be Saraki boy is not legal yet....

did u use open ballot to vote Buhari..in this 21st century u still advocating for open ballot wat a primitive stupidity...

YoungAncient1:
Let him go for the U-20. He is still young and has alot of years ahead of him. Besides, wingers are not so much a problem for the eagles at AFCON level.

wats special in having him in under 20 why not allow another unknown quantity take his chance dee...chukwueze is already known...imagine Holland telling de ligt to go for under 20 and develop...wat nonsense...

roundman:
How he wan take know, kids talking anyhow for talking sake, if anyone deserve appointment it should be people like Mr kokori who was among those that fought for the Democracy we are enjoying today.

tell us how he fought for democracy....na only kokori bring democracy pre 1999...pple like gani,ken wiwa,enahoro,soyinka,tinubu,sowore etc fought too...make una old generations stop rubbish of kids no sabi anything...

OKorowanta:
You won't say this if you are aware of Kokori and the NLC struggle years back.
Kokori is one of the few Nigerians alive with integrity.

integrity my ass...na only him do the struggles...he is Just selfish...using thugs to picket ngige and wailing unnecessary is not a comradeship stance...

Nbote:
How exactly is he using d NLC wen d NLC are d ones saying he's their choice for d position?

NLC is stupid wats special in frank kokori holding this position...they won't shut down the country to protest inability of pple getting decent jobs,casualization of workers, contractual slavery,...they should go and sit down nonsense

no be you go vote na. There's no player who has done well as Messi thus season. Messi is by far the best player in 2019. Just deal with it. Iconic performances v united v Liverpool and title winning goal with a Copa del Rey final to come plus a likely 50plus goals, would be weird seeing someone pick it up. Ahead of him.

oga which useless copa Del Rey final u de talk of..if modric can win it last time out who say another person can't win it... the best Messi ll get is best forward in champions league...pple remember the last moments coaches and captain plus journalist are the once voting and with the abysmal performance of Barça in second leg Messi is no longer favorite...copa America ll further diminish his chance...if im and Argentina node do well...afcon and euro final is dee for salah Mane and dijk to show why de should be given a chance... a particular year Ronaldo won it was due to how he steer Portugal over Sweden to world cup 2014 plus his performance for Madrid...

if modric can win last time out who says someone else can't win it... wat is a useless copa Del Rey final to judge a player...if na by winning league Ronaldo has won la liga to...we ll have a new winner d best Messi ll get is best forward of champions league..

Caseless:
why we want to consider the other guys is because those voting are tired of the 2 that have dominated the scene for over a decade.

It does not help the game if the award is just about 2 individuals. If messi had made it to the final of the UCL , I'm sure that would have brightened his chances more.

I don't know how many times messi won the award without winning champions league.

Ballon d'or is now Separated from fifa award for best player. Abi?

yea France football handles it...let me sound it Messi might not win ballon dor or even FIFA best Award... like someone said we have Euro final,copa America and afcon...its open for anyone now van dijk has a chance Now...even salah,mane others have chance like Messi

henrixx:
all of you are funny. Salah that isn't even shortlisted on pfa list. Or is it the Salah that has four goals only in ucl. Come on. Wake up.

Messi is gonna be the world player of the year. He has the highest goals in laliga, highest goals in eeurope, highest in champions league. Plus hes so far the best champions league player. I see him winning. Maybe vandijk, Ronaldo, mbappe, son could come next.

oga Messi is not winning this stop this he is highest in laliga..salah is highest in premiership,mpabbe has scored more in ligue one..ronaldo won serie a... I repeat Messi don't deserve any award...except he go and win copa America which looks impossible

Caseless:
van dijk does not deserve it more than sallah except if you're saying because he's an African. As usual, they'd prefer an European winning it than an African. But sallah should be considered since no Arab or any asia-linked man has ever won it!

yy playing d victim card here...last season MO salah won every award in England...was he not African...or u think dos player's who pick van dijk as player of d season are foolish...moreover the year Neva finish Euro final copa America nations cup de...so it open for anyone Now...

olassy239:
it's gonna be The other way round, the two London teams. And following the trend, I don't think arsenal will go through to the final, playing in Spain is hard for English team

una don start again awon Spain pple

traditional rulers are ceremonial lords in modern Nigeria...my is let's hold our elected leader's to account

internationalman:
But you know it will be very hard for Liverpool players to win it considering the season Messi has'd so far..

which season...he won LA liga same as Ronaldo won seria A mpabbe won ligue one...sterling might win premiership...or even Liverpool with van dirk who had been outstanding...so man Messi is not a favorite between Euro nations league,copa America and nations cup dee dee...so u see anything can happen to tilt d advantage for anyone

internationalman:
yeah Ronaldo lost out bcoz probably it's a World Cup year..

but nevertheless I still see a Messi as the front runner though, not a stroll in the park now that they have been eliminated

which world cup year 2010 when Messi won it was it not a world cup year...even wen Schneider and xavi had done enough to win...a Messi who did not score won..it's individual award...last award Ronaldo ought to have won...so to balance equation pple like dijk shd win it...

e Don tey wey pple like dalung and Co wan bring down pinnick...yes we must fight corruption but wen politics enta den wahala de...pple like green and others wan bring down pinick by all means...

internationalman:
Nay.. As much as I like Liverpool and his players, hell I'm even rooting for them to win the trophy.

But I still think Messi has an edge over every other contestants..

if Ronaldo who had the positive odds to win balon dor lost out to modric den forget it...it's not a stroll in the pack for Messi...

but this Messi aigbe fine wella sha...

Same Bayern he failed never lost Bundesliga under his watch. After he left Dortmund won the league. They sacked ancelloti in same Bayern but pep resigned willingly to move to England. We are talking of 4 England cups here not 3. Na only man city start the season? Where are Liverpool, Chelsea, man utd, arsenal and Tottenham? He's making a mockery of EPL already. Last year he won with 19points, he defeated all his oppositions in EPL for 2 years straight, something that last happened in 1986 or so. How many ucl did Alex Ferguson win in 26 years at man utd if champions league was that easy? People like u called him a scam in his first year at EPL when he was still building his team, now he is bossing all of u around in the so called most competitive league. Is he the only coach in EPL? Mourinho never won ucl with Chelsea and Madrid despite spending enough at both clubs but was able to win with Porto and inter with lesser revenue . Cr7, Kaka, bale, modric and Co were signed but didn't even enter the ucl final until 5years later, Chelsea started spending millions in 2004/5 but didn't win a ucl cup until 2013. Football isn't mathematics cos it seems u wanna start judging him on UCL alone without considering other cups he's winning. U can say whatever u like but even Mourinho, Klopp, Conte, Sarri, Emery and Co dey envy Pep . He is the best right now and has won in every country he as coached. He is the Messi of coaches

pelegrini is still greater than pep in man City...what pep has done Ferguson has done,same as wenger who went a whole season unbeaten with arsenal,conte won this league in his ist season...so wat so special In pep...he is a good coach one of the best in this generation like mourinho,kloop,ancelloti,zidane...the hype is unnecessary even zidane who conquered Europe thrice in succession wasn't hype like this...

Beedude:
It's funny how u easily forgot the team wasn't winning when he came. Cos he made it look easy in ur eyes right? Disaster at Barça or Madrid is quite different from ur own point cos even a 3rd position is considered a disaster in those clubs. Not winning any cup in 2 years is even a catastrophic disaster at Barça and Madrid. Either u accept it or not, the guy came and stabilize a team in crises,brought an identity to Barça, broke the players power given to the likes of deco and dinho and succeeded even when it was his first year coaching a senior team. Right now everyone is shouting Liverpool played well all season but man city will likely win 4 cups this year. Na rocket science? The guy is good and u have to give it to him

mourinho won 3 cups in his ist season at Man Utd leave cup matter...nobody say pep no good but ina to De magnify am...since leaving Barça he hasn't match wat he achieve in Barça winning the Champions League...his employers at Bayern said he failed..u might be surprised but for Bayern wining d league wasn't why he was brought..he took over a treble winning Bayern the previous year and in three seasons couldn't win in Europe...three seasons at man city de can't make it to semis...so cool down...pellegrini achieve pass pep in man city simple and short...

sped1oro:
So emotional to see this great sport patriot suffers and so unfortunate to see comments from some ignoramus saying the man should have saved for old age and asking was he not paid entitlement when he played for Nigeria.
I know some stories about this great man because we once lived under the same roof in Baruwa Ipaja town. He was a mentor to a lot of us who later became good footballers in our own way, every weekend, he usually took me and host of friends to the National Stadium for training and it was all for Free and for the love of the country. He also had a brother Austin Fregene, who also played for Nigeria but the guy is late. Peter Fregene was not really paid as much as other players that showed up in the early eighties, I knew quite well that he was always going to the sport ministry to pursue one payment or the other. He was also Coach Manager Of NEPA in Lagos and also in Warri. He mentored the likes of Peter Rufai and Okala and host of other Nigerian goalkeepers.
I have visited him in Ibadan at a specialist hospital couple of years back when his predicament started with severe back pains,his children are really trying their best but the government needs not forget our heroes past for their selfless service to the country. Peter Fregene is an Urhobo man from Delta state.

Stop commenting rubbish about him just for the sake of nairaland attention.

it's not rubbish..how about the civil servants who gave their all don't they deserve govt attention too...lets be honest wat we need is a working system...i learnt ikpeba still collect pensions from contributory earnings of his play abroad...can't we have such in Nigeria...how many ex players or sportsmen will govt keep remembering...fregene case is evidence of a failed system...a dysfunctional Society...as it is now players playing in Nigeria ought to have a working system of contributin for their future...cases like this should make us weep that we need to rejig this country..

sod09:
I don't just understand always trying to blame the government for everything.
I'm sure the man has children, the footballers I know are always successful at least until they squander there savings.
Every one think the government owe them even the celebrities, it's just pathetic

how much do u think dis guy made...im no play abroad and hw lucrative is football in Nigeria even now except you play foreign league... if there was an organized framework am sure this man would still be getting pensions from the game...more so it shows how deep our country is na cos im na popular guy what of those who no sabi any body...lack a good social security framework...

toffyz:
Football wasn't so lucrative then in their days, I'm sure this guys would've been better off now...In regards to that, the sport ministry should been given this guys token every month for up keeping..I mean those that belong to that category.

if our football is well organized u won't see things like this...there is this former Madrid legend who had issues Real Madrid came to his aid that's cos they are well off...imagine a situation where clubs like rangers,enyimba,pillars etc are incorporated well...abroad players have contributory pensions ikpeba still collect his own...this thing ll continue until there is a proper structure...Now how about those civil servants who after 35years are owed and struggle to get their due did they not serve their countries...

Beedude:
Pep brought Henry from where ? Shey na Henry wey dey play for obalende fc or which one? He actually met Thierry Henry at Barca. A barca team that hasn't won any tangible thing in 2 years,even gave Madrid a guard of honor a year before pep came. Sold players like Ronaldinho, deco, thuram, zambrotta, Marquez, Motta and Co. His highest signing was Alves from Sevilla for 32 or 35m. Brought Pique, busquet and Pedro, gave Messi a good handling. With Madrid boasting players like Schneider, van daar vart, arjen robben, Raul Gonzalez, Robinho, Casillas and other great players, even as a barca fan I wasn't sure we would perform that year. But beating Madrid 6-2 at Bernerbue and winning the treble isn't about buying players or anything. The guy is tactically sound and knows what he wants from his team. U can hate him or like him, it still doesn't change the fact that he is one of the best 3 coaches in the world right now

oga stop whining pep still had good players otherwise he would have won nothing...Messi and eto,were great the year he won the treble same as thuram there was yaya toure...if Barça was a disaster they wouldn't make it to the champions league afta winning it in 2006... all this one una de do na unnecessary magnification...

cr7lomo:
The same Ajax that's about to knock out one of the best teams in the EPL...u guys underestimate Ajax...a team that is heading to the final ...I laf at u guys....Na till then win CL una go know say football no b by name

Tottenham one the best for wer a team struggling for top four....mtcheeew

Moukandjo:
Pep actually took over a Barca that were trophyless for 2 good seasons. During those two years, they were bashed home & away by Madrid & even has an abysmal league record of 19 wins 10 draws & 9 freaking loses in one of those years!
Pep came, did major shakeups in the squad by releasing Deco, Ronaldinho, Zambrotta, Giovanni, Edmilson, Thuram, & introducing Busquets & Pedro & brought back Pique. Do you need me to remind you what he won in his first season?

Enrique won treble in his first season so whats the big deal.... Barça were not a disaster like what u have in Man Utd...stop yeye sentiment...pep is good but he took over a Barça team that had Messi and eto needed to throw ego players like deco ronaldinho et al...however aside his achievements at Barça he has not done anything significant where he went..at Bayern he failed to win d champions league...same at man city too not minding the conducive environs he always meet..

Jacobx007:
U are only wasting your time arguing with him, take Atletico Madrid to EPL and they will win it back to back

see ur mouth...atletico dat couldn't beat a juve a young Ajax beat...

DissTroy:
Guardiola took over in the 2008/2009 season and dominated the league and continent in just 4 years.

2009 - Barca.
2010- Semi final
2011 - Barca.
2012- Semi final.

Guardiola won the Super Cup in those times too but record-breaking statistics. He did all of these with a relatively young and inexperienced team.

Now he's moved to England and chased you all and owed the yard.

even Satan is amazed u can lie pass am...how was Barça who had eto deco ronaldinho Messi before pep took over inexperienced? pep took over brought in Henry had eto ist den ibra...plus puyol pique etc dis guys are inexperienced...i tire for una warp analysis...

Raydos:
Ooh really are you telling me no EPL fan watch El classico??


Do you even know that El classico is the most watched football match In the world?? ?

bro epl has tremendous value than LA liga stop useless arguments u hear...

Angelfrost:
Not trying to hate, but even Wolves will get relegated in the not too distant future, except they keep pumping in the cash... This is just a bubble... Premier league is a different animal entirely.

Some teams will always fall short in the long run: Newcastle, Brighton, Wolves, even Burnley, and Crystal palace

the good thing is English football is quite profitable for all...second division of England has value than French ist division...some teams in English championship are richer than some ist division teams in Spain Germany France...every one can't be at d top...but some measure of stability can be achieved...

Tundexxy:
All these kick and follow team.... Hope they won't act another Cardiff city next season

I will love to see Biesla's Leed United in Epl

they will have to beat Lampard derby County in play off semis...

who is zamfara governor elect because I think after appeal Court rule recently that Apc has no candidates in zamfara Inec said they will wait for Supreme Court judgement before giving certificate of return...may 29 is around the corner no news in that direction...
