Lalasticlala do you know Mitchell Obi at all? Someone knew him from 9 years here probably you'll have known him from birth.

Dapo Sotiminu spoke with the National SWAN president, Honour Sirawo, this morning (Friday, 10th February 2017) on his refusal to sign the nomination form of Nigeria's Sports Writers' pride - Mitchell Obi but was shocked to the marrow when he said with no inhibition 'Mitchell Obi is not a journalist, he has not registered with #SWAN and #NUJ in the last 11 years. He even presented a fake SWAN identification card, and a Lagos NUJ card signed by Funke Fadugba. We are out to sanitize SWAN, he didn't even study journalism. I am sorry I can't and I didn't sign his nomination form to return as #AIPS Africa president.

Later on when he told the AIPS president that #Mitchell is not a registered journalist, he was shocked.

Olu Amadasun also said he endorsed him in error in the first place. Now, Nigeria will make do with positions in the AIPS Commission." As I listened to the SWAN president, I shook my head in awe, and I knew for sure that the ebullient son of Ogoni land definitely didn't know the damage he just did to his country all in the name of politics. The Mitchell #Obi I know is a first class teacher of Sports Writing in Nigeria, an authority who had more than 10 times given public lectures on the ethics of journalism and the rights of Sports Writers in the midst of oppressive newsroom politics where sports journalist are referred to as second class citizens in media houses.

How I wished Honour #Sirawo knew that, the person he just played some dirty politics with is a professor in sports journalism by virtue of his wealth of experience as a first class Sports journalist. It saddens me more when I recalled the SWAN president saying Mitchell is not one of us.

How I wished Sirawo had painstakingly taken a moment out to pay Mitchel a visit in his office, Masters Sports off Toyin Street, in Ikeja to see what qualifies Mitchell as a professor of Sports journalism in Nigeria.

The sight of the wooden hanger which Mitchell hung his over 200 international accreditation tags, which he used in covering the World Cup, World Championships of various sports across the globe, the African Championships of various sports, the Olympic Games, the #Commonwealth Games, #FIFA Congresses, #CAF Congresses, #Wimbledon finals, US Open finals, Australia Open finals, French Open finals, WBC, WBO and IBF controversial world boxing title fights, numerous NBA finals, Uefa Champions League finals, CAF Champions League finals involving and not involving Nigerian clubside, Pan American Games, Euro Nations Cup, European Championships, #CONCACAF Cup finals, Oceania Cup finals, numerous historic English FA Cup finals and various Asian Championships would have taught the SWAN president a real lesson of life, but he was never there to behold a sight that should have encouraged him as a SWAN president at least to aspire to reach a quarter of where Mitchell had gone to cover strictly international sports events.

Today, the NFF president Amaju #Pinnick is a candidate for the CAF Executive Committee election next month without getting the mandatory endorsement and nominations from the #NFF Congress and the Sports Minister. There is always a way out of a self inflicted quagmire.

In my native Yorubaland, there is a saying which goes thus: "If one commercial vehicle refuses to go a lucrative destination, a million and one vehicles will go there unhindered" (Bi oko kan o re Ejirin, egbegberun e a lo).

Mitchell Obi, with or without SWAN president's nomination to return as AIPS Africa president remains Nigeria's number one Sports Journalist per excellence. An attribute that is in-borne is miles away from ability.

Let me point out one key thing done within two years that has enable you and I to interact - the telecommunications industry which started in 2001 and has powered so many things.

I guess any 780bn accumulated has been manifested in your sight today?

Jesusloveyou:
which area did obj and your ineffectual buffoon work,
Was they able to add 1mw of power. Did they built 1km of road,? Did they plant one seed of rice?How much were they able to recover, even in less than 2yrs, has they ever release 780b naira for capital project?
In all this, you are even comparing those that spend 8yrs and who has spent less than 2yrs

Dear makydebbie, as rightly quoted, women are not given that opportunity to STAND IN POSITION OF AUTHORITY IN THE CHURCH and come to think of it, someone said that then was not as now but gas forgotten that the Bible hasn't changed in it's message anytime nor will change anytime soon.

Cited names Deborah and Esther were not in the dispensation when this was passed out but were representatives at their times.

Paul was never a sadist nor was he trying to be authoritative but speaking as the Holy Spirit directed him then. Reflect back and see if there were any women in positions as of today! Priscilla was even unable to direct Aquilla but guided him on the scriptures because he was not knowledgeable of it then.

Does this now imply that women are USELESS in the church? SINCERELY NO! They build the man as the case was of Timothy and because many are wanting women emancipation or liberation, they've failed to accept the Biblical standards to their own taste leaving out those not working for them in place of others.

As much as God knows who's serving Him, when you're doing otherwise, you'll know too and not be ignorant.

You need to think and rethink again to say OBJ didn't work compared to others. His exploits gave Nigeria headways even after he left. Think positive and embrace your working president with less than 2 years calamities.

Last time I checked, his manifestos are no where near his achievements at the moment. The basics of this administration which they work on are the efforts of the previous ones but like your moniker says Jesusloveyou.

Jesusloveyou:
did obj and ineffectual buffoon work?
They were only stealing and sharing money and contract to their cronies.
Pmb has done more than they all within 2yrs.

This could have been Lalasticlala and......

Well said.... Blogger is quite manageable financially compared to WP but nonetheless, WP is far ahead of Blogger!

Also applicable to students and even unemployed persons too who wants to be engaged.

You cannot lead Nigerians and not deserve break..... Silly points from him.

How long did Obasanjo go on break or GEJ self?

Do right! Most of us are so gullible that we are careless to address things properly and even address the ALMIGHTY as daddy rather than Father.

Daddy is informal while father is formal.

Do I blame them all? NO!!! Some do not know but woe betide that who knows and refuse to change.

Very poor of them to hold on to your money. Any sane organisation will pay you from 27th, 28th of the month or at worst, last day via your account even if you are gone, you'll get money for the days worked for.

Dear Lalasticlala Mynd44 seun Dominique please correct the topic on the FP as PARTNERS is spelt as PARTNES. Thanks

Is he really the 1st this season or the 2nd?

Learn how to appreciate what you have. Most of our stadia are better than those used in the AFCON, so why not laud their efforts?
