The Nigerian well worked beauty against the
Foxes has been nominated for the Blues’ monthly
goal contest Victor Moses' goal against Leicester City has been nominated for Chelsea’s Goal of the Month competition alongside four other strikes. After first half strikes from Diego Costa and Eden
Hazard had set the Blues on course for victory, the
impressive winger drilled the final nail into the
Foxes’ coffin. The former West Ham player showed playing in a
wingback role has not affected his goal scoring
know-how after a combination of bravery, poor
defending - from Claudio Ranieri’s men - and a
perfectly executed backheel by Nathaniel
Chalobah saw him beat the onrushing Kasper Schmeichel to wrap up a deserved 3-0 victory for
Antonio Conte’s team. His strike is pitted against Diego Costa’s wonderful
efforts against Hull City and Southampton, while
Willian’s curler against the Tigers also made the
shortlist with N’Golo Kante’s solo effort against
Manchester United capping it off. The winner will be determined by a voting system
via the club’s official website.

The Brazilian, who was predecessor to Sepp
Blatter at world football's governing body, serving
as president between 1974 and 1998, has died in
his native Rio Former FIFA president Joao Havelange has died in
Rio de Janeiro at the age of 100, according to
reports in Brazil. Havelange was the first non-European chief of
world football's governing body between 1974
and 1998, when he was succeeded by Sepp
Blatter and received the title of honorary
president. He resigned from the latter largely ceremonial role
in 2013 after a report by FIFA's ethics chairman
Hans-Joachim Eckert ruled he had taken bribes as
part of a scandal involving the now-defunct
International Sports and Leisure (ISL) sports
marketing agency. Havelange competed as an Olympic swimmer for
Brazil at Berlin in 1936 and was a member of their
1952 water polo team in Helsinki. At the Melbourne 1956 Games he was Brazil's chef
de mission before joining the International
Olympic Committee in 1963. As the IOC's longest-serving member, Havelange
stood down in 2011 with an ethics hearing
pending over the ISL affair. The Olympic Stadium at the on-going Rio Games,
which began three months on from his 100th
birthday, is named in his honour.

Top-level football these days is often divided into
the “haves” and “have nots”; those teams with the
money and those teams who don’t have it. The
thing is, for clubs like Bayern Munich and
Barcelona, “haves” and “have nots” could signify
not only cash in the bank, but possession of the ball too. Bayern and Barca – two clubs obsessively fine-
tuned by Pep Guardiola – are no doubt endowed
with fortunes beyond comprehension but they
also lead in Europe in being dominators of the ball
in any given match. Guardiola’s teams – first at Camp Nou and then in
Bavaria – have always sought to starve
opponents of possession. Even if their adversaries
managed to win it back – however momentarily –
they would be immediately swarmed upon and
duly cough it up. The Catalan is about to set English football on a
course it can scarcely understand at present. By
the time he’s done with Manchester City, elite
football will look a very different place. It all began last weekend with Aleksandr Kolarov
playing centre back against Sunderland and
Bacary Sagna and Gael Clichy in midfield when City
were in possession of the ball. As Joe Hart found
out to his cost, the revolution extends to the
goalkeeping position too. Willy Caballero started the season between the sticks for City with huge
question marks over Hart's status as a future City
player. That is because an integral component in
a Guardiola team is the goalkeeper. Pep –
schooled in the traditions of Johan Cruyff and a
keen student of Gusztav Sebes’s golden Hungary
team of the 1950s – has always remained faithful
to those early lessons learned about goalkeepers. The idea of having a keeper acting as an 11th
outfield player is neither new nor revolutionary.
Guardiola has sought to build on those examples. Gyula Grosics did it for the Magic Magyars –
Hungary won Olympic Gold in 1954 and were
desperately unlucky not to win the 1954 World
Cup – while Cruyff never quite fulfilled his dream
of fielding an outfield player in goal. He came
close. Cruyff regarded it as a waste of a player having a
goalkeeper who would merely save the ball but
who could not facilitate the maintenance of
possession. He – along with manager Rinus
Michels – petitioned for the inclusion of Jan
Jongbloed in the 1974 Dutch World Cup squad when most of the country could see Jan van
Bevern was patently a better keeper. Van
Beveren, however, could not do what Jongbloed
could behind the defence – sweeping, passing
and initiating attacks. While in charge of Ajax, Cruyff promoted Stanley
Menzo to the position of starting goalkeeper due
to his ability to maintain possession. Menzo’s
starting position was often far from his goal – just
as Manuel Neuer’s has been for Bayern under Pep
– in order to be available for passes and to also extinguish quick counters. Frans Hoek was the goalkeeping coach recruited
by Cruyff to train Menzo; Hoek went on to work
with Louis van Gaal at Ajax and Barcelona, where
he developed the styles of Edwin van der Sar and
loyal Pep custodian Victor Valdes among others.
Having a goalkeeper who can sweep is not a luxury for a Guardiola team; it is a necessity. Teams like Bayern and Barca seek to smother
opposition team by keeping the ball for up to 75
per cent of the game. To do that and to gain the
advantage they need to make use of their
goalkeeper as an outfield player. The Cruyff-Guardiola style of play relies heavily on
players gaining numerical advantages
somewhere on the pitch. With a goalkeeper
outside his box and playing passes, this is much,
much easier to achieve. That kind of goalkeeper
can be relied upon to receive the ball in the right position, take a first touch, have a look and find
the right pass. They are part of the team. Neuer’s accurate pass percentage for Bayern was
up at 80 last season, with Claudio Bravo’s at
Barcelona at 84. Worryingly for Joe Hart, his was
around 53 last term.

Gernot Rohr bags 2-year contract to lead Nigeria

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Tuesday gave 63-year-old Franco-German Gernot Rohr a two-year contract to lead the country's team.

According to the Twitter https://mobile.twitter.com/thenff/status/762987710600675328 handle of the NFF, Rohr has signed a two-year contract as technical adviser of the Super Eagles.

Officials disclosed he will be presented to the public and media next week.

At the weekend, the NFF technical committee recommended to the executive committee that the former Gabon and Niger coach be appointed after they met with him in Abuja.

His immediate task will be to qualify Nigeria to the 2018 World Cup after the Eagles failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations for second straight time.

Nigeria begin their qualifying campaign in Zambia on October 3.

They are also drawn against Algeria and Cameroon in a difficult group.

The France midfielder has returned to Old Trafford
from Juventus, a mere four years after departing
the club for a nominal fee, and becomes the most
expensive transfer everManchester United have
completed the signing of Paul Pogba from
Juventus for an initial £89.5m. Pogba left United to join Juve in 2012 but Jose
Mourinho has now re-acquired the France
international midfielder for a world-record
transfer fee. The 23-year-old, who has long been linked with a
return to Old Trafford, has now become the most
expensive player in football history, overtaking
the deal that took Gareth Bale from Tottenham to
Real Madrid in 2013. "Manchester United is delighted to announce that
Paul Pogba has completed his transfer from Italian
club Juventus," the club wrote on their official
website. "Paul joins on a five-year contract, with the option
to extend for a further year." Pogba is reported to earn an astonishing £104m
pre-tax salary over five years, a figure that put off Real Madrid, who were also in the running for his
signature, with Cristiano Ronaldo the only Los
Blancos star to earn more than that amount.

The controversial songwriter, composer, comedian and performer ruled the Nigerian entertainment scene for several years, hitherto became a constant
feature in the country’s polity and state. To suit his biddings and appeal to his numerous fans while taking on the government – mostly the military rulers - Fela coined, rejigged, and rephrased words that have today became more popular as a result of the singer’s constant usage. Listed are words commonly used by the citizenry but which we owe to the King of Afrobeat!

ZOMBIE

Zombie is the name given to any individual who obeys before complain or follows orders from above blindly. The word was made popular on Nigerian streets by fela after he used it in a track entitled Zombie to describe Nigerian soldiers mentality and brutality to fellow human beings like them

GO SLOW

This is a word coined from what the english dictionary refers to as TRAFFFIC JAM. Go slow became popular on the streets in nigeria after the fela's 1972 song Go slow, which satrise the infrastructural chaos of modern Nogeria

FOLLOW FOLLOW

This simply refers to individuals with no mind of his or her own but prefer to follow the crowd. Follow Follow is a track released in 1976 by fela to lampoon the lack of imagination of the Nigerian middle class.

OYINBO

The word oyinbo has been a regular parlance in the Nigerian western and south eastern states to describe a white man or any person with light pigmentation

SHAKARA

Shakara oloje, as used by fela is an act of feigning an offensive look.

YELLOW FEVER

The term yellow fever is actually a word for an acute viral haemorrhagic disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes. But in 1976, the phrase which was commonly used by people in mushin to describe traffic wardens, was re-christened and made more popular by fela who decided to refer it to skin bleaching people.

AREA BOY

Area boy was borne out of the need to distinguish between residents of fela's kalakuta republic and rascals living around the area where the kalakuta was situated .

CHOP AND CLEAN MOUTH

Another title of one of fela's unreleased songs "Chop and Clean Mouth" became popular among the citizenry when describing an act of getting away with corrupt practices or illegality

successfully carried out its second kidney
transplant on a 38-year-old unnamed male
patient. The Chief Medical Director, Prof. Adewale Oke,

hospital’s determination to sustain innovation in
healthcare delivery in the country. “We are pleased to inform you that this is yet
another feat in the hospital’s quest to provide

exchange. Also speaking, the Head of the surgery team, Dr
Olugbenga Awobusuyi, who expressed
