Sylva was a former governor and a former highly ranked minister, yet he was still not satisfied. He wanted more at his age, even if it meant setting Nigeria on fire. He allowed greed and selfishness to ruin him.

Odunayaw:
Sincerely hope Osimhen put clause in his contract that will enable him escape whatever happens soon.

Emotions defy logic o. Gala don invest emotionally into am

Galatasaray didnt sell in the winter because of Champions League. Reaching last 16 alone is a big money. They also didn’t sell Icardi in January and even preferred to let him leave for free in the summer, all because of the Champions League. But by summer, anything can happen if they receive a good offer.

Were you trying to say they died mysteriously abi miraculously?

But some ppl get mind ooh.. first person go no come out, second person enter dsame thing, I fit forgive the second person but what was the third person thinking going in especially without safety measure?

I think there is a gas leakage in there, experts should be called to investigate properly..

May dem souls rip..

And those that entered next that detected and brought the dead bodies out used common sense

All odds are against Atiku in my opinion. He couldn't win before Tinubu became the president, and he wants to win now. I laugh in Swahili. He needs to ask Bode George who Tinubu is. Lol. Obi is even better positioned in my view.

And for the fact that Tinubu has managed to pull the US to his side, Atiku should forget it as long as the Republicans are on the throne.

As for me, improvement in the electoral laws is what I am after. We just should find a way to make the senate provide a dedicated server for direct and real time transmitting and votes (without glitches....we have the money to do it, but they wont easily until we press their necks very well). And also sentence electoral criminals to a minimum of 10 years.

We may not achieve everything like I wrote in my previous post during this Tinubu's era, but the win we have already is a progress. Let's see if the opposition can use this Abuja issue to make the senators return to the house to add more clauses that favor the common man who wants free and fair elections. The more favorable clauses we can add now, the closer we are getting to liberation. So, I really don't care who wins the next election....I just want the process fixed...and we are getting there gradually. Every election we have been having since democracy returns to Naija especially after we introduced BVAS has been giving us significant hope that we are getting closer. It is taking so long, but we will get there in Jesus' name. Amen.

My prayer now is that Atiku and Obi should fight for more clauses to be included in the law before the next election. Such that people like Wike are barred from going round to supervise his "will" imposed on voters while pretending he is doing the right job. People like that should get 10 years inside kirikiri "straight up".

The election reform bill that President Bola Tinubu signed into law or which one again?. He assented to the amended Electoral Act 2026 already.

Lateef fagbemi is a very silent and coded brilliant lawyer!


As in!

I even respect him more than Femi Falana

Habib Beye, the new Marseille coach will be earning €90k per month. Why is it that low?

zicky:
i think he's talking about ATM Lookman here.

Oh, thanks. Will remove it

Solomon Dalung is now also a leader in ADC? He was even endorsing a candidate. Wonders shall never end. A corrupt minister who disgraced Nigeria’s name over the IAAF money mistakenly sent to AFN. Too dull as a federal minister not to know in 2016 that Gongola State no longer exists in Nigeria. And these are the ADC leaders who want to rescue Nigeria… yeye.

zicky:
Better question, cos some of this 'yes' men are ready to feed on that statement, ignoring the fact he's less than 2months in the club, with immediate impact.

.

destinytreasure:
Unfortunately, the man who won the PDP seat (Kasim Mohammed) will eventually decamp to APC. When you can′t beat them, you join them.

The same format Wike used in Rivers state local government election. He still kept a seat for PDP.

BankyGee:
The league is important too, it was stupid resting players when you know you're only leading Fenerbahçe with 6 points, now we lost Osimhen no go ever see that rest till season end or till he injure.

Not 6 points, but 3. If Fenerbache should win tomorrow (which is likely), they will be level on point with Galasatary. The team paraded was still good enough to win the match against the lowly opponent

SmartPolician:
People are actively voting for individuals, not necessarily their parties. Voting for parties makes no sense.

How come no individual in ADC has even been voted for? Considering all the by-elections and local government elections conducted since last year, I have never heard of any ADC candidate winning any. Obi even lost his polling unit to APC in Anambra.

Papi85:
Galatasaray collect for Okokoyaspor hand this evening. I for wetin mk here calm this evening 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Juventus and Galatasaray mean business on Wednesday, they both lost today...Galatasaray to go through though

Sugarboyy:
Atiku also came out to campaign for Dr Mo. Though it wasn't like how Obi campaigned for the LG chairmanship candidate 🤣
Imagine Tinubu coming out to campaign for such

So Emperor Wike neutralised them all..wonderful. infact, if PDP still manage to win a local council in this election (which is likely), Wike will still be praised. Another political structure built by him in Abuja

demstone:
it's like u've forgotten obi campaigned like his life depends on it.. he even campaigned at 12 midnight.. i'm not even sure apc campaigned

A presidential candidate campaigning vigorously for a local government election… Atiku has class, sha.

Indigbo:
Na so una dey do. Una posted more than this in the last election. Only gulibble will take una fake results serious...

Lol..I was hoping he will show more of that result. The results coming out is really bad for ADC. Wike just built another structure in Abuja

FIFA RELEASED STATEMENT AS NIGERIA, DR CONGO EXPECT RULING ON 2026 WORLD CUP PETITION.

FIFA has released its 2025 CAS & Football Annual Report without mentioning Nigeria’s petition against DR Congo.

The Nigeria Football Federation' (NFF) filed a petition to FIFA alleging DR Congo used ineligible players during their World Cup playoff against Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The Super Eagles are still waiting on a ruling that could reopen their 2026 World Cup path.

The World football’s governing body, FIFA, has published its CAS & Football Annual Report 2025 at a time when Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo are anxiously awaiting a ruling on the Nigeria Football Federation’s (NFF) petition over alleged use of ineligible players in the African play-offs for the 2026 World Cup.

In the report, FIFA made no reference to Nigeria’s protest, which was filed on December 15, 2025, following the Super Eagles’ dramatic penalty shootout defeat to DR Congo in Rabat last November.

The omission of the case from FIFA’s latest publication has sparked fresh debate, especially after expectations had risen that a decision could be announced around mid-February following a scheduled Ethics Committee meeting.

Reports suggested a conclusion may already have been reached internally, but only FIFA’s Executive Committee, chaired by Gianni Infantino, is authorised to make any formal announcement.

Nigeria’s protest centres on claims that DR Congo fielded several players who allegedly did not meet eligibility requirements under their country’s domestic laws.
Among the names referenced were Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Axel Tuanzebe, both of whom previously represented England at youth levels before switching international allegiance.

According to BBC Sports, the NFF argues that the clearance process for these players contained irregularities and that DR Congo may have submitted incomplete documentation when seeking approval for their participation. On this basis, Nigeria asked FIFA to disqualify DR Congo and reinstate the Super Eagles as Africa’s representatives in the Intercontinental Playoff tournament scheduled to take place in Mexico next month.

DR Congo, however, has consistently rejected Nigeria’s claims, maintaining that FIFA’s rules on sporting nationality, rather than domestic citizenship laws, govern player eligibility.
This legal grey area has helped turn the dispute into one of the most closely watched cases in African football. Instead of addressing the Nigeria vs DR Congo dispute, FIFA’s newly released document focused on the broader role of football in global sports arbitration.

According to a statement published on FIFA’s official website, 77 per cent of all cases registered with the Court of Arbitration for Sport in 2025 involved football-related matters. The report outlines how CAS continues to serve as the main independent body for reviewing appeals against FIFA decisions, in line with Article 49 of the FIFA Statutes.

It also provides summaries of key case law from both CAS and the Swiss Federal Tribunal, drawn from FIFA’s quarterly legal updates.

Has the case reached CAS?

My brother, if na me, I go no where oh

If a top European club comes with a big cheque, Galatasaray will surely do business. It would even be another transfer sale record for them in the Turkish league.

COOL10:
Nigerians are cursed. Seriously cursed with the spirit of self sabotage.

The same so called O.A.Ps, fake sports journalists and ex internationals that asked for the sack of Gernot Rohr few weeks to an AFCON and for Peseiro to be let go despite taking us to an AFCON final are now asking for Eric Chelle to be let go because according to them, his "demands" are too much (Same thing they said about Peseiro).

Ask them for a possible replacement and you'll hear them bring up local coaches. 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

How did I find myself in the same country as these self harming idiots? We're not ready for any form of progress in this country. At this rate, our football will continue to be like our epileptic power supply. Tueh 🤮

NFF will not listen to them. I doubt if they will ever appoint any local coach for the Super Eagles again. Who among them is even qualified at this stage? Is it Siasia, who ain't coached any team in over 10 years? Or Amuneke, who relegated Heartland and is still not getting it right in the NNL? Or Finidi, after the last disaster? Eguavoen? Oliseh? Never.

Haluk Yürekli: "Victor Osimhen is truly a gift from God. It's a very big cost, but If you're feeding a lion, you don't look at what it eats.' Osimhen is a complete lion. When Galatasaray reach the round of 16, they will probably have earned a total of more than €50 million!"

Osimhen said he encouraged his teammates after the third goal to score more so they would have a better advantage in the return fixture

Victor Osimhen: "Üçüncü gol sonrası topu aldım evet 2-3 yeterli değil bu takımlara karşı. Sürpriz yapabilecek kapasitelerini biliyoruz. Daha fazla gol atman gerekir. Topu taşıdım, takımı motive etmek için. Daha fazlasını atabilirdik. İkinci maç var."pic.twitter.com/CfVVybB2Gb

Lol. He betrayed Ribadu in 2011 by supporting Jonathan of the PDP. You will be back to claim the ones currently supporting him didn't support him once he wins. How many APC state governors delivered their states? APC had 21 governors in 2023 and Tinubu only won 12 states. Half of those 12 were not even APC-governed states. Did Tinubu deliver himself in his bourdillon polling unit in Lagos state, which he governed and in Osun where he originated from? Why expect Elrufai to do the impossible by marketing alcohol in the middle of Mecca? Tinubu was simply bad market in 2023 and it wasn't due to Elrufai. Tinubu got 400k votes in Kaduna and 500k votes in Kano. Aside Lagos which he lost to Obi, tell us one Southern state where he polled better numbers than that of Kaduna.

Don't go with this mentality in 2027. Having 30 governors will not make Tinubu win 30 states. Don't come back to say the governors worked against your tin-god. Not all of them will kill their people like in Rivers just to deliver your tin-god. It was simply an impossible task. Seyi Makinde will be joining the ADC, I guess it's safe to say that he will deliver his state to the ADC then. You see how that sounds?

Oyo state. You can check the figure and compare it with Kaduna State

AMINDA:
Lol. Okay Harvey Spectre, till then. Just wondering why the courts didn't accept Sowore's video of Reno Omokri calling Tinubu a "drug dealer and a criminal" as evidence.

Misleading. Court rejected the evidence because the prosecutor witness, which is an official of DSS said he did not know anything about them (evidence), making them inadmissible. Why did Sowore not present a witness and submit the evidence through his own witness? DSS and EFCC won't help El Rufai in this case just like Sowore wanted to play smart.

I am happy that his effort was appreciated today.

Papi85:
I no dispute am

And some seasons ago in the ucl Sheriff beat Madrid for Bernabeu 😉

Hahaha. Galatasaray even defeated Manchester United at Old Trafford 2023/2024 season.

Add Tobias Lawal and Gift Orban. Afterall, they are Nigerians

Eric Chelle is seeking to double his $50,000 monthly salary to $100,000 to extend his contract with the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF)

EyeCumInPiece:
But when they tapped Obi's phone conversation, it was not criminal. 😁

But Obi denied it, calling it fake, even threatened a lawsuit.. even though everybody knows the truth.

The announcement will be made tomorrow, not today

minfelix:
judgement day is upon us, its now or till 2030.
Give us this day oh lord🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏

Punch newspaper today reported that Iran football federation and NFF are already negotiating for a friendly match in March..hmmm
