No fewer than 570 key members of the Peoples Democratic Party in Bayelsa State are planning to dump the party for the All Progressives Congress on Saturday (today).

But an association within the PDP in the state called the Unity Group begged the aggrieved members to reconsider the move.

The group made the appeal at a news conference in Yenagoa on Friday against the backdrop of mass defections of prominent members of the party to the APC.

Addressing journalists on Friday, Coordinator, PDP Unity Group, Mrs. Marie Ebikake, urged the aggrieved members not to defect to another party.

Ebikake, a former Commissioner for Transport in the state, who was recently relieved of her position because of her alleged closeness to the former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, said the group was committed to the unity and resolution of the crisis confronting the PDP.

She said, “We cannot deceive ourselves. Some of our people have vowed to go to the APC. We want to use this medium to appeal to them to return. The home they have built, they cannot allow it to collapse.

“We are a group in the Bayelsa State PDP that is committed to the unity of our party, particularly after the outcome of the recent general elections.

“We believe that losing power at the centre after 16 years should unite rather than divide us. We salute the commitment of our members and supporters in the last 16 years.

“However, we are not oblivious of the most recent defections from our great party in Bayelsa State to the opposition APC. We cannot also pretend to be unperturbed of the planned defection of our esteemed members on Saturday (today) in Yenagoa.

“There is no doubt that some of these defectors are men and women of high political substance and pedigree who have contributed to our past achievements.”http://www.punchng.com/news/pdp-begs-as-members-plan-defection-today/

1. Pedro Leon



Jose Mourinho is renowned for his bitter and acerbic comments, whether it is about certain players or with the media. The Portuguese manager mocked Pedro Leon on several occasions, benching him most of the time.
Pedro Leon never got on good terms with Jose Mourinho, playing just 132 minutes during the 2010/11 season. Leon was a verbal punching bag under Mourinho, never getting the chance to show his worth.

Yes!! Jose Mourinho can be one of the best manager in the world but he is liable to making Mistake also… Here is a list of 10 Players Mourinho has destroyed.

See list below:-

10. Hamit Altintop



Back on May 2011, Real Madrid announced that they had reached a deal for the transfer of the Turkish midfielder Hamit Altintop for £4.5 million. He made his debut for the club on September 2011 in a match against Ajax, but as a substitute. He didn’t start as a regular until January 2012, with Jose Mourinho refusing to give him more playing minutes. Hamit Altintop spent most of the season sitting on the bench.

9. Mohamed Salah



The Egyptian international was snapped up by the blues in January 2014, after beating the competition for Premier League rivals Liverpool.

Mohammed Salah caught the eye of Jose Mourinho after beating Chelsea almost single-handedly while playing for Basel. The Portuguese manager didn’t take this lightly and as revenge, he benched Salah for most of the remaining season. Meanwhile, the Egyptian ace is flourishing at Fiorentina.

8. Juan Cuadrado



When the Colombian ace joined Chelsea during the January transfer window for a reported £26 million, everyone thought that the duo Cuadrado-Hazard would wreck havoc in every opposition team. However, that has been not the case. Making absolutely no impact at Chelsea so far since joining from Fiorentina in January, Juan Cuadrado looks another big mistake from the blues. Jose Mourinho hasn’t given him a chance either!

7. Nuri Sahin



Also known for being a total flop in a brief stint with Liverpool, Nuri Sahin was a strange signing by Jose Mourinho during his time at Real Madrid. When he moved from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid in the summer of 2011, many people were expecting the Turkey international to become a superstar at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Sahin had all the talent to succeed, but Jose Mourinho never bothered to give him the time to adapt.

6. Lassana Diarra



The French midfielder completed his move from Portsmouth to Real Madrid on January 2009 for a fee in the region of £18.8 million. He had a good start to the season, earning the respect and admiration of Real fans. However, when Jose Mourinho stepped in as the new manager in 2010, Lassana Diarra fell down the pecking order. With the arrival of Sami Khedira, Diarra lost his place as a regular at the Santiago Bernabeu.

5. Juan Mata



Jose Mourinho might as well be one of the best managers in the game, but he has his fair share of mistakes.

Benching Juan Mata is one of them; the Portuguese coach preferred Oscar as a playmaker. The Spaniard won Chelsea’s Player of the Year in 2012 and 2013, playing a pivotal role for the Blues. Mourinho benched Mata on several occasions, an action that sparked the anger of Chelsea fans. Well played Jose, well-played!

4. Sergio Canales



It is not easy to start as a regular at a club like Real Madrid when you are young and inexperienced, but things get worse when you are overlooked and ignored. That is the case for Sergio Canales, the former Racing Santander attacking midfielder. Canales was one of the most promising players at the time, but with Jose Mourinho taking the rains in the summer of 2010, his talent and huge potentials were simply ignored.

3. Kaka



In 2009 Real Madrid paid 68.5 million to make Kaka their latest Galactico. At that time, the fee made the former Ballon d’Or winner the most expensive transfer of all time. In his first season, the Brazilian ace was a general success.

However, when Jose Mourinho stepped in as the new manager in 2010, Kaka lost his place as a regular, mostly due to an injury that kept him off the pitch for more than 8 months. Mourinho never made full use of the Brazilian’s talents.

2. Iker Casillas



Iker Casillas has been the Spanish No. 1 for successes in two European Championships and one World Cup and the custodian of Real Madrid since 1999; Jose Mourinho was just a Portuguese man in charge of Real Madrid.

Casillas

Arsenal disappointed me but Barca is nw making me happy

Ahead of the December 5 governorship election in Bayelsa State, there are indications that the wife of the former president, Dame Patience Jonathan, has thrown her political weight behind the candidacy of Chief Timipre Sylva, the immediate past governor of the State.

Sylva wants to contest the gubernatorial election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

It was gathered that in a meeting convened by Mrs. Jonathan recently, in Otuoke, she read the riot act to members of her group, asking them not to support the re-election of the incumbent governor, Hon Henry Seriake Dickson.

Sun reports that the former First Lady prefers Dr. Weripamowei Dudafa, ex-presidential aide to the immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan and Commissioner for Local Government under Sylva.

It was gathered that Mrs. Jonathan directed members of her political group to support the aspiration of Sylva.

According to those present during the meeting, when some persons reminded the First Lady that the former president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan had openly declared support for Dickson, she told them that Jonathan won’t support Dickson when the chips are down.

Among those who attended the meeting, it was learnt were a former acting governor of the state and chairman of the defunct Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN) in Bayelsa State, Hon Werinipre Seibarugu, Dr. Dudafa; former Commissioners for Transport and Sports, Mrs. Marie Ebikake and Hon Ebikitin Diongoli, a female politician, Mrs. Remi Kuku and a host of others.http://dailypost.ng/2015/08/07/bayelsa-guber-patience-jonathan-dumps-pdp-backs-apc-candidate-sylva/

My Birthday? Chai, Impossible!

Nigeria has three major ethnic
groups: Hausa/Fulani, Yoruba
and Igbo. The Hausa/Fulani
Empire has Hausa people
stretching all through the Sahel
to the Sudan. They are mostly
Muslims and they have contact
with the Arab world. The Yoruba
nation has Togo, Benin Republic,
Sierra Leone and even up to
Brazil and Cuba to run to where
their kinsmen are. The Igbo
nation has no outlet anywhere in
the world where the language is
spoken. Therefore, they must see
Nigeria as where they belong and
work for its survival.
Nigeria provided a big space for
the Igbo to spread their
tentacles, explore, excel and
blossom. The South-East is too
small for this highly mobile and
dynamic people to thrive.
The world pays attention to
Nigeria today because of our size
and population. If Nigeria splits
into smaller countries, the world
will pack their bag and baggage
and leave. Population and size
make a nation a destination.
Ndigbo control between 60 and
70 per cent of all the imports in
Nigeria and other Nigerians,
Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani, Ijaw, Efik,
Birom, Tiv, Idoma etc provide a
huge market for Igbo mobile and
big-time traders.
Monumental inter-marriages
between the Igbo and Yoruba and
other ethnic groups have thrived
for close to 70 years now that we
cannot just dismiss all these with
a wave of the hand.
Ndigbo own huge and massive
investments in property in Lagos
and Abuja, and other state
capitals in Nigeria. Now, are you
going to wish all this away?
Other Nigerian cities have
provided safe havens for the Igbo
as places to run to cool off
whenever self-inflicted crises
arise or other problems. When
kidnapping became a way of life
in the South-East, our people
moved to other parts of Nigeria
to settle. Now, where will the
Igbo go when confronted with
these problems in Biafra?
How can the Igbo thrive without
their Lagos and Abuja or Port
Harcourt? What happens to all
their connections and
relationships in these places?
We have been so intermarried,
interwoven, intertwined, inter-
related that the idea of
separation may not be
encouraged. I do not want to
lose my friends from the other
parts of Nigeria for anything.
I can go on but there is no need
to continue to do so. We must be
strong enough to stop this
world’s old problems of looking
down on people who are different
from us. This is the problem of
Nigeria. Nigeria’s diversity is a
big plus for all of us to excel.
United we stand, divided we fall. I
confess that the Igbo have not
played better politics in Nigeria
since 1970 and that has been our
bane. Anytime Nigeria wants to
change a bad leadership in the
country, the Igbo as a bloc will
resist it. It happened in 1993 and
we lost everything. In 2015, the
Igbo were at it again but forces
of history prevailed. The Igbo can
do better than this.
However, I want Nigerian leaders
to show leadership by carrying all
Nigerians along in distributing
power and resources. If there is
no justice, there will be no peace.
If there is no peace, there will be
no progress. Let justice prevail.
Let us be fair to all concerned. If
the truth must prevail and it
must prevail, Nigeria has not
been fair to Igbo since the end of
the civil war. They tell us that
there is no victor and no
vanquished but in actions and
deeds, the victors are still
celebrating and enjoying the
spoils of the war while the
defeated are still languishing in
abject neglect. For instance, of
all the six zones in Nigeria, only
the South-East zone has five
states. We have found solace in
all these because we have found
out that those who are still
oppressing the Igbo in Nigeria
are not better. We also take
solace in the findings of the
Fathers of the Second Vatican
Council that all acts of indignity
against human persons, against
human society debase the
perpetrators more than the
victims. It is not that the
offended cannot forgive but have
the offenders repented? This
injustice must stop now for the
sake of unity of this country. I
wrote Igbos: 25 Years After Biafra
in 1995 thinking that the book
will prick the conscience of other
Nigerians but they have not paid
any attention. It has been
business as usual. Now,
President Buhari must address
this injustice. Case rested!
Igbokwe wrote in from Lagos http://www.punchng.com/opinion/why-nnamdi-kanus-biafra-project-must-be-stopped/

Ever since former President Goodluck Jonathan lost the presidential election on March 28, 2015 which some of us knew he would never win based on the facts that we all knew and the statistics available, a majority of the Igbo have been unhappy and angry. They have been cursing and abusing the President and the All Progressives Congress leaders wishing that President Buhari never existed and the APC never formed. Many of them have been so frustrated after the election that they are now looking for a way to get back to the APC-controlled Federal Government. Now, one Nnamdi Kanu who has been dreaming about the State of Biafra has provided a space for them to vent their anger. Some of them have joined him to begin to wish for the State of Biafra. Suddenly, the so-called Radio Biafra has created a momentum for them. On Facebook, I have watched with keen interest what these guys dish out on a daily basis in the name of fighting for Biafra. They tell blatant lies, create havoc, make terrible noise, they abuse other Nigerians, and they preach unimaginable propaganda and hate that at once put Igboland in potential danger. I have been waiting for the South-East governors to speak up but they have maintained a deafening silence that suggests complicity. I have also waited for our elders to caution this young man but nothing has happened. With the so-called Radio Biafra, Kanu has unleashed an unimaginable trailer-load of lies and potentially dangerous propaganda that have put the Igbo nation in danger. It is now 45 years after the Nigeria- Biafra Civil War and I think that Igbo must rise up to stop this man who apparently never saw the 1967-1970 Civil War and who may not know the implications of what he is doing. He has never consulted anybody to seek his opinion. He has been speaking to the gullible and not too educated people in Igboland, and very soon these uneducated people will take a dangerous decision that may decimate and destroy Igboland. Soon, our people will start complaining that they were not consulted. To be fore-warned is to be fore-armed. Last week, I saw a photo of a group of people that gave the impression that they are getting a military training somewhere in Igboland. Later, I saw another photograph on Facebook with some youths bearing guns and Kanu standing with them. I may not know where these pictures came from and what they are planning to do but this is the time to speak out and I urge anybody who is anybody who understands where we are coming from to stand up now to be counted. Woe betides a nation whose leaders are children. If we elders do not talk about this evil, posterity will never forgive us. Let us speak out and if these children do not hear us, then it should be on record that we spoke. About a month ago, the barrage of lies and uncontrolled propaganda Radio Biafra dished out everyday drew the attention of the National Broadcasting Commission which asked Nigerians to stop listening to the pirate radio station. Now, here are compelling reasons why the Igbo must remain in Nigeria in their own interest: The Igbo fought a civil war of self-determination between 1967 and 1970 and lost about one million people. This should be taken as a huge price for the unity of this country. Having made this monumental supreme price, I think the Igbo should work for the unity of this country based on social justice, equity and fair play.

Nigeria Professional Football League top scorer award will be named after legendary Rasheed Yekini, the League Management Company has hinted. According Shehu Dikko, chairman of the league organising body, the move is to immortalize the fallen Super Eagles hero for his contribution to Nigeria football in his playing days.

Aside from this, plans are in place for an end-of-the-season award for the top division which to him will create commercial value and additional revenues.

“There is a broad plan to institute awards and honour outstanding players, officials, key stakeholders and fans in the league at the end of every season and there are a number of factors that led us to reach the decision to name one of these awards, that of the highest goal scorer after the late Rasheed Yekini,” said Dikko.

“The awards is part of strategic plans of the LMC to create commercial value and additional revenues out of the assets inherent in the league property.

"We considered the aspiration factor which seeks to let the players know that they too can become national heroes if they achieve excellence and make a success of their career.

“It says to them that they too can become legends of the game and the society will honour them as we have sought to honour the late Yekini,” he concluded.

Yekini played for UNTL Kaduna, Shooting Stars, Abiola Babes, Julius Berger and Gateway FC.http://m.goal.com/x/en-ng/news/13550102
