endorsing any candidate
With the declaration, Doherty, an
engineer, is seeking the party's
governorship ticket in Lagos for
the third time.
Doherty, who arrived at the PDP
state Secretariat in Ikeja with
hundreds of his supporters, said
that he remained the best aspirant
for the ticket.
Addressing the party’s executive
members in the state, Doherty, 52,
said that the large turnout of
supporters was an attestation of
how much the people loved him.
"As a founding member of the PDP,
I have been a governorship
aspirant of the party in 2003 and
2007. I believe I have what it takes
to clinch the seat for the PDP.
"I have developed a 10-Point
Agenda for making life easier for
the masses of Lagos State," he
said.
The aspirant said that if he won
the ticket and was elected, he
would abolish multiple taxation in
Lagos State.
Responding, the Lagos State
Chairman of the PDP, Tunji Shelle,
assured him that there would be a
level playing ground for all the
aspirants.
Shelle said that the party had
many promising aspirants and the
emergence of its candidate would
be determined at its primaries. http://m.news24.com/nigeria/Politics/News/Former-PDP-National-Vice-Chairman-joins-Lagos-guber-race-20140926

Crappy List, Keshi Must Go!!!

Arch1: Shut it !
There is an on-going supremacy battle within the NURTW ranks in Ekiti state. The NURTW thugs are Fayose's thugs.

Since Fayose is the in-coming Governor, the assasinated NURTW boss was most likely killed by some of his lieutenants who might want to occupy his position and enjoy the benefit of working for a thuggish governor.

It is an infighting between Fayose's NURTW thugs that has now resulted into a wider conflict coupled with the attack on the court/Judge yesterday

YOU ARE ON POINNNNNTTTT

Don't They Have Any Policeman In That State?

akpabana: And who told you that Kogi is a muslim state? Because u pass through Okene right. Any way, u are an EXPERT in commenting before reasoning. Keep it up dear.

You Do Not Reason At All, Is It A Must That You See Things As The Way I See Them?

Isn't This A Fp Material, What Are The Mods Doing? So, No Place Is Safe In This World

Sincere9gerian: APC's Liar Muhammed was quick to issue press a statement criticizing the military and Nigerian govt when some of our solders fighting Boko Haram had some challenge that made them make a tactical manoeuvre into Cameroon.
So how come we've not heard any word of commendation or support from APC's Liar Muhammed for the Nigerian military for the successes recorded in the war on Boko Haram in the past 3 weeks?
Why is APC quick to condemn but slow to commend even on an issue that bother on national security and the safety of Nigerians?
These are some of the reasons why most Nigerians hold the opinion that Boko Haram is the armed wing of APC while APC is the political wing of Boko Haram.
APC plus BokoHaram equals twin EVIL of monumental proportion with cataclysmic consequence

North Central Is Crucial For Those Planning To Islamise This Country, So Shut It!

When the ball
ricocheted to him
on the edge of the penalty box on
the 10th of February, 2013, Sunday
Mba had one thing on his mind:
fashioning the shortest route to
goal.
Three touches later, the ball nestled
in the back of the net with
Abdoulaye Soulama rooted to the
spot. The FNB Stadium in
Johannesburg erupted, having
witnessed another decisive moment
in a cup final. In terms of execution,
this was the rival of Andres
Iniesta’s winner in the World Cup
final on the same ground some 30
months earlier.
Hoisted up in celebration, the then-
Warri Wolves player let out a
guttural scream. Joy, unbridled and
a measure of relief too, stood out
on Mba’s exultant face. He did not
know it then, but that goal was the
one to end two decades of hurt in
Nigeria’s football. Also,
unbeknownst to him, that was his
apogee.
The 25-year-old made his debut
just the year before that Nations
Cup campaign, a legacy of the
successful WAFU Cup team of 2010.
He scored a brace in his second
international, a friendly victory over
Liberia, but surely could not have
been the only one surprised to hear
his name read out as part of the
23-man Afcon squad. Indeed, he
was one of six Nigerian Premier
League players called up to the
Super Eagles.
This was not the norm.
Indeed, it was standard practice for
team handlers to opt for foreign-
based players upon qualification,
having given locally-based players
a run-out in the preliminaries.
However, coach Stephen Keshi kept
faith with the likes of Godfrey
Oboabona, Reuben Gabriel, Mba and
Ejike Uzoenyi.
Will it ever get this good again?
That faith would be repaid
handsomely: Oboabona forged an
impermeable partnership with
Kenneth Omeruo at the heart of the
defence, but it was the contribution
of Mba that proved truly decisive.
Keshi is often prone to
experimentation in the middle of
major tournaments, often leading to
strange selection choices (the same
quirk that saw Babatunde Michael
make a name for himself at the
World Cup). It worked a treat for the
pacy midfielder: his introduction in
South Africa brought verticality to
the Nigeria midfield, thanks to his
direct running and dribbling with
the ball. In a crowded midfield zone,
up against physical man-markers,
the ability to turn on the ball is
priceless.
This quality was on show against
perennial favourites Ivory Coast in
the quarter-final, incidentally Mba’s
second game of the tournament.
Both teams cancelled each other
out essentially, until he picked the
ball up from deep and roared
forward past a number of
challenges, before scoring off a
deflection with about 15 minutes
left on the clock. It was a goal that
encapsulated all that Mba is about:
quick thinking, intrepidity and
frightening acceleration. That winner against Ivory Coast
announced him, but it is for the
goal against Burkina Faso that he
will be remembered most fondly; a
strike thoroughly out of place in a
disappointing final. In a cagey, dour
match, his goal was a bright streak
of colour.
The epithet of the local deity of the
Igbo clan Amadioha speaks of his
propensity to take a man’s life at
the height of its sweetness. In
Mba’s finest hour, storm clouds had
begun to gather. An ill-advised
move to Enugu Rangers was
declared null and void in March by
the NFF due to an extant contract
with Warri Wolves. The Flying
Antelopes were directed to pay a
full transfer fee, but were unable to
come to a workable agreement with
Wolves as negotiations dragged on
and on.
In the interim, Mba’s career stalled
with no competitive football. When
eventually the matter was resolved,
it was agreed he would spend the
rest of the league season on loan
with Rangers, before returning to
Warri Wolves. Mba spoke of his
relief at the resolution to BBC Sport,
saying, “Both parties have agreed to
a new decision and this is good for
my football career. I wish to thank
both clubs, everyone that stepped in
and hope to take my career to the
next level from here.”
Unsurprisingly, having been inactive
for such a long period, Mba was
unable to hit the ground running.
However, that did not prevent a
call-up to the Super Eagles for the
FIFA Confederations Cup in June:
Keshi is fiercely loyal to his players,
and expects (and gets) the same
back.
The hope was that a familiar set-up
would evince the same game-
changing ability that brought Mba
to the limelight.
He thoroughly underwhelmed, and
Keshi would later ruefully admit to
Futaa.com, “I didn’t get Mba at the
Confederations Cup.”
Has Mba's Bastia move killed his
Super Eagles career?
However, it seemed the worst had
passed, as the very next month,
Mba was in sparkling form for the
Super Eagles Championship of
African Nations team as they
spanked their Ivoirian counterparts
4-1 to seal qualification for the
2014 tournament in South Africa.
He provided two goals and two
assists, and appeared back to his
best.
Having regained the trust of the
national team handlers, he seemed
poised to lead an impressive local-
based selection to victory in South
Africa. Then came yet another
misjudgement: a January move to
French second division side CA
Bastia, thereby rendering him
ineligible, on the eve of the Chan.
Keshi wished him well, but surely
viewed this as an act of disloyalty.
The Big Boss has a notoriously long
memory, and this showed itself
when preparations for the World
Cup began. Mba’s visa problems
kept him from hitting camp at the
right time; he was ultimately
dropped from the final 23, but it
was telling that Keshi had begun to
seek alternatives as early as the
Mexico friendly in March. He has not been called up since.
As the Super Eagles laboured to one
point against Congo and South
Africa in Afcon qualifying, the hero
of Nigeria’s finest footballing hour
of the past two decades was being
shown a red card in a French
National game against Chambly. In
his absence, Les Noirs rallied to
claw back a goal-deficit in
stoppage time.
From being indispensable to the
Super Eagles to being expendable in
the French Third Division in 18
months is as steep a fall as is
possible.
If ever Nigeria needed a hero, it is
now.
In 2013, Mba answered the call to
deliver glory. Like Disney’s Mr.
Incredible, he may be in no shape to
deliver once again, but God knows
we need him now.

Samson Siasia
could be in line to
replace Stephen Keshi as Nigeria
coach unless the National Sports
Commission stops the Nigeria
Football Federation (NFF.
Goal exclusively gathered from a
top NFF official at the weekend that
the Super Eagles’ poor results
against Congo where they lost 3-2
in Calabar as well as the goalless
draw away to South Africa has
blotted the impressive record of the
trainer.
A top official of the Nigeria Football
Federation disclosed that “there are
many factors standing in the way of
Stephen Keshi to be re-appointed as
the Eagles chief coach and I will
give you a break-down but before
that I must say that Keshi must be
most grateful to the Honourable
Sports Minister (Tammy Danagogo)
for fighting for his retention as the
chief coach.
“The minister has never hidden his
love and preference for him and he
based it on Keshi’s past
achievement which he said was
more than necessary for him to
continue his job. The minister still
believes that the Eagles under Keshi
could still bounce back and qualify
for the 2015 Afcon in Morocco.
“But we at the NFF here know that
the problem with the team is more
than what we are seeing from the
surface. Firstly, there is no
commitment on the part of the
players Keshi is parading for the
2015 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifiers and if something drastic is
not done, Nigeria may not be
among those nations that would
campaign in Morocco 2015,” the
source who begged for his identity
not to be revealed told Goal.
The NFF source also revealed that
most of the members of the NFF
Executive Board are no longer at
ease with the alleged antics and
disrespect of Keshi towards them
and now want another coach who
would listen to them and respect
them as his employers. They have
also not forgotten in a hurry the
way Keshi allegedly humiliated the
Aminu Maigari Board members
during the Africa Cup of Nations
which Nigeria won in South Africa in
2013 and felt highly disappointed
with the way the Coach received all
the accolades and praises from all
and sundry without mere mention of
the NFF Board and Secretariat.
“We all know how Keshi threatened
to dump the team in South Africa
shortly after the Eagles won the
2013 Afcon. The controversies
generated by this singular action of
his put the NFF then in a bad light
and so many other crises including
the Eagles threatening not to play
one of the qualifying matches for
the last World Cup as well as during
the World Cup proper when the
players demanded for their bonuses
are all crises that have put negative
mark on the NFF.
“So unless the National Sports
Commission decides to use its veto
powers, I don’t think Keshi would be
retained as the Eagles coach. Even
the N6 million that the minister
said he is requesting for cannot be
met by the NFF as a matter of fact.
The NFF is broke for now and the
crisis has not helped matters.
