That Tammy get grace o
Wetin him dey play, wey him dey see correct clubs

Cheap option (£18m including add-ons). Also EPL experience.

charlesemeka85:
Besiktas and FC Porto interested in Terem Moffi

Besiktas will need to replace Tammy Abraham. I would prefer him to go to Porto though

muyico:
But why this man no leave Seyi makinde alone?? Trouble you caused with OBJ, yet to finish

They have a long standing feud even when both were PDP governors.

Cajal:
Signs of frustration
It's not easy to loose power
30billion wouldn't have been discovered
If we're to be bukhari Osinbajo

Oyo n pee
Omoluabi pinbele

He is really frustrated. He is losing it big in Oyo State, party loyalists moving to Accord party to challenge his anointed candidate which he promised to name this January but yet to.
Another headache is the political party He is going to contest his presidential ambition, Fayose had said they will never allow him in PDP.
He won't escape EFCC after his tenure, he indebted oyo state, majority of the land he grabbed will be questioned, hidden state money will be unveil.
"Oyo npe o" has changed the polical calculation of 2027 in Oyo State and PDP will be heavily hit.

CAF Champions League

Power Dynamos (Zam) 0 vs Rivers United (Nga) 0

AMINDA:
Congratulations, Nigeria. We are now back to the dark days of do-or-die politics, characteristic of the Obasanjo era. Very shameful comment to be coming from an Ambassador-designate. These are the people Tinubu is empowering in the Southwest while proper omoluabis are tagged as betrayers.

P:S: Those who think Seyi Makinde will cower and support Tinubu in 2027 are on a long thing.

“I personally miss you as the Vice President. Things have not really been the same in this present administration” — Governor Seyi Makinde showers heartfelt praise on Prof. Yemi Osinbajo.

Do you also miss Prof Yemi Osibanjo?🤔👀 pic.twitter.com/VKwgjOPuAB

Obasanjo said in 2007 during campaign that "the next election will be do or die affair".
He even boasted in open campagn in Akure and made a threat against Mimiko that EFCC will pick him up, just because Mimiko left PDP to contest in LP against Agagu.
Obaseki also used the phrase " do or die affair" for 2024 Edo gubernatorial election.
So what is new here?

iwaeda:
As expected, he will be one term governor, just like Tinubu.

2023 gubernatorial election result in Kano state was very close between NNPP and the APC. With the faction of NNPP the governor is bringing to united APC, it will be a landslide victory for him, this is the reason Kwankwaso is bothered. His leverage is gone.

Papi85:
NEW: Salim Fago Lawal is close to leaving Istra 1961, with talks at an advanced stage and a move to a well-funded Central European club could be potentially completed within days.

Lawal is unlikely to travel to Poljud, with Istra expecting a record sale; exceeding €2M. [Sportske Novosti]

According to soccernet, the new club is likely Qarabağ FK, Azerbaijani champions. I wish he can get offer from French league

DeLaRue:
I suspect there is a Chief of Staff - Wike - Fayose loop. That group is in the innermost belly of the Presidency.

Mr Fayose is probably the public face of that group. He does the dirty job that needs to be done.

The disclosure of a N50 billion (N30 billion) Federal government gift that the Oyo State Governor did not disclose to his people for over a year is one such dirty job, and it was very effective.

It has basically destroyed any hope that Governor has of contesting for the Presidency.

Notably, Mr Fayose made a statement in his Channels interview that many appear not to notice. He said the Governor will not produce a successor. That means whoever the Governor presents will not win the next Governorship election.

That's serious. They are out for the Governor.

It is no surprise the Governor went to meet the President to seek a soft landing. Seems that effort did not yield the right result for him.

Don't mess around with a Nigerian President that knows how to use power.

You are correct regarding Fayose. Makinde will not produce a successor in Oyo, he saw it himself with event that happened last weekend at liberty stadium. Fayose also said that Makinde will never get the ticket in PDP for his presidential ambition, that he can contest in another party but they won't allow him in PDP.

With Oriyomi in Accord, Makinde will never produce a successor. He has taken Class D and E members of the PDP to Accord party

chrisooblog:
Toor! Pesin wey headbutt fellow teammate.

Let's not forget during the AFCON 2000 finals he punched a Cameroonian player who tackled him roughly. Had VAR existed then would definitely have been sent off yet he goes around pontificating.

The late Mark Aku was the sport minister then, Oliseh was very rude to him, when they asked him to apologise for his action, he publicly said the minister was not older than him, he refused. The problem he created in super eagles goalkeeper department affected the team for many years before Nwabali came over.
In the video, he was talking of the dwindling fortune of the team and inability to qualify for AFCON and worldcup. Did he forget he was the coach when the team failed to qualify for 2017 AFCON, before SIasia could turned things around, it was too late. Yes, we lost the playoff to DR congo via a penalties, Oliseh as a coach lost to the same DR Congo.
All what he accused Osimhen of, he did the same, even worst as a player

Mujtahida:
I tire for Oliseh. He's been unduly unfair on Osimhen.

Don't mind him. Was Vahid Hashemian not his teammate at Bochum that year?

Mujtahida:
Omo, Oliseh has finally put off all disguise and come out plain to say that the reason why we lost the semi was because Osimhen broke Lookman's spirit by publicly verbally abusing him.

Remember I sensed it in his last podcast where I stated that he praised Lookman and Akor lavishly but kept mute on Osimhen.

A public spat is what Oliseh has deviously recast as 'public verbal abuse' of Lookman by Osimhen. How na? Something that whole world watched. How did Osimhen telling Lookman "it's a team game" amount to public verbal abuse. Oliseh has set down his own agenda where Osimhen is the abuser and Lookman is the victim. Is this not a crock of lies? This is something we all watched oo, yet see the spin Oliseh has put on it just to paint Osimhen as the villain.

Against Morocco, our attack line was blunt because the midfield couldn't get Its act together. He said Osimhen broke Lookman's spirit. It wasn't only Lookman who didn't play well. Even Osimhen himself and Akor did not play well. Did Osimhen broke Akor's spirit too.

Truth is that even in the Algeria match, Oliseh had stated that Lookman did not play well because of the spat. So that was the foundation. He's building on it.

Oliseh does not like Osimhen. That much is clear. If he were the coach, he would have benched Osimhen against Algeria as punishment for the spat and we could possibly have been beaten by Algeria.

Oliseh cannot coach Nigeria oo. He create division and unhealthy atmosphere of rivalry.

Oliseh thought people have forgotten his own story. He did worst than Osimhen

Ofunaofu:
But Sanwo-Olu is not Lagos’s 001

So who should be the 001 of APC in Rivers State again if not the Governor? Wike is a PDP member

Tinubu is in the good book of General Babangida. His son is even part of this government. maybe OBJ went to convince him to withdraw his support

Odin13:
Tinubu knew that Malami is not in good books of majority Arewa.. so he picked the soft target to deal with. However he knows his limit… already this arrest is beginning to raise sentiments for malami, he was given a hero’s welcome after release.. then rearresrting him has drawn lots of sentiments in northwest.. why only him?
When lots of former ministers from Buhari’s government are marching around free with escorts and singing on his mandate? Malami simply chose not to sing along .. and has pushed his limits for going for his state governorship ambition.

To kill malami is just to upset the entire Arewa and burn every Yoruba being alive .. it’s a welcome one forget media noise. A billion oduduwa and oraminyan can’t dare such.
Tinubu has already lost northwest.. let him go and fight for sentiments In north central

27 is not how he thinks and plan is what the reality looks likes for him

Which hero welcome after release? The video you were referring to here was fake..he only met his bail conditions yesterday before DSS picked him again

Morocco is ready for a big fight with CAF ..lol

Sarsaparilla524:
🚨 👤 NFF President Ibrahim Gusau 🎤: "As the head of a hard-working technical crew, Mr. Chelle has done exceedingly well within the one year he has been with us. He has shown enormous capacity and we will continue to work with him."

I listened to Amaju interview this morning where he said he and Alhaji Gasua discussed with Arsene wenger on the possibility of getting Chelle attached for an internship.

plankyjacky:
Ask yourself before you bring tribal dimension to crucify him . Is Nigeraa worth dying for .

If you know your employer will owe you, it is better to decline their job. Since you know NFF will owe you, respectfully reject their invitation and remain with your club, better than sabotaging the team and go on strike on the eve of important match.

lbrichman2:
Remember NFF got $4m just last year when we finished 2nd..
Now they'll get $2.5 for 3rd place.
Tomorrow dem go open mouth say NFF is broke..
They've been selling this false narrative for years, while they loot and embezzle these funds

I think the earning is cumulative, so they are likely earning more than 2.5M.
CAF said, "if a team goes all the way (the winner), it can reach a maximum total of 11.6 million USD, adding bonuses from each stage of the tournament"

yinkeys:
Morocco will win tonight
Don’t know how Senegal are gonna do it
Hostile crowd & bad officiating

Super Falcons shocked them infront of their supporters in a fully packed stadium. Anything can happen tonight.

Three players didn't get any playing time at the AFCON.


Amas
Akinsanmiro
Usman Mohammed

Super Eagles stars Victor Osimhen, Paul Onuachu and team captain Wilfred Ndidi have returned to Turkey following Nigeria’s AFCON 2025 outing and will miss the official medal presentation.

The trio, who are all based in the Turkish Super Lig, departed immediately after Friday night’s match on a private jet arranged at the request of their respective clubs.


https://bsnsports.com.ng/post/AFCON-2025--Ndidi--Onuachu--Osimhen-Return-to-Turkey--To-Miss-Medal-Presentation

Dele Momodu a big fish in ADC? Lol...In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.
Momodu, a former presidential candidate, now an aide to a presidential candidate. "No be juju be that?"

press9jatv:
yes and that will give APC victory in 2027 governorship election. You really know Oyo State politics well.

Oriyomi just declared at liberty stadium now to contest under Accord Party. Panic in Seyi's camp now, they even instructed NURTW not to convey any supporters going to liberty stadium for the event..lol. APC will largely benefit from this split.

yinkeys:
I hope they keep Chelle for stability sake
Regragui is over 4 years on the job
A new coach means starting afresh with new model or identity
Chelle just needs to add plan B & C, instead of building up through Iwobi
He also needs assistance particularly in 2nd half in game management
Morocco kept Regragui despite South Africa loss in last Afcon
East Africans can’t win the next Afcon right now so that turf will be a neutral ground

It is not really about the NFF, it is about Chelle himself choosing whether to stay or move to a better offer. There was a reason he accepted the NFF offer and the Super Eagles job with a reduced salary, and now that decision has paid off. If Tunisia offer is genuine, he will definitely leave

wunmi590:


Makinde is really trying alot for H.E Oba Ladoja, after naming the circular road after him, he has done this again....

People will surely vote for his candidate come next election, that if he has...

He played politics with King Ladoja and wanted to frustrate him in becoming the king, Ibadan elders had to prevail on King Ladoja to accept the reform and directive set by Makinde which was pure vendetta.
Naming circular road after Baba Ladoja was in 2022, during election campaign, it was election strategy.

lbrichman2:
We should be easy on Chuks and Bruno

Adepoju didn't get his fact right here because Chukwueze was not among the penalty takers at Unity cup.


K. Iheanacho
M. Simon
T. Arokodare
B. Onyemaechi
C. Uche

Goke7:
It’s obvious the team doesn’t prepare well for penalties or they are too tired I don’t know

Yes, I doubt if they train for it. I have never seen Chukwueze playing penalty before for super Eagles, not even at club level. Ejuke should have subbed in instead of him. Chelle will always getting it wrong here. Same mistake against DR Congo when he substituted a good penalty taker, Tolu and brought in Awazien instead of Ekong

Clint02:
Chukwueze has always missed penalties for us. Maybe he shouldn't have been the next to go.

I have never even seen him taking one before. Under Chelle, we ain't been fortunate with penalties

press9jatv:
oriyomi Hamzat doesn't have the structures here. APC leaders and members are heavily united to defeat Seyi Makinde candidate and oriyomi Hamzat here.

He will actually split/divide PDP votes.

press9jatv:
most of the victims haven't been compensated. Don't you see their cries here niii.

I listened to a radio program on Sunday regarding the issue, tax was still deducted from those who got paid.
Saturday, 17th January will define the fate of Seyi Makinde if he will install a successor in Oyo. Oriyomi will declare at liberty stadium, spoiler for Oyo PDP.
