Cash-strapped Portsmouth manager Steve Cotterill hopes that Nigeria striker Kanu will agree a new contract.

Discussions have taken place between the former Arsenal star, his boss, chief executive David Lampitt and Pompey administrator Andrew Andronikou.

Cotterill is eager to keep a player of Kanu's quality and experience as the Fratton Park club prepare for their Championship opener against Coventry on Saturday against the backdrop of ongoing off-field problems.

Portsmouth's manager told The News: "I've had a chat with King (Kanu), David Lampitt and Andrew Andronikou.

"Let's see where we go with that now. It would be really nice to have King around.

"Not only is he a great footballer, but he is a great man. Maybe there'll be some developments on that this week.

"If there is any chance we can keep him here I'd be delighted with that."

mr bigs, kfc, mac donalds, chicken republic.

stop those eba without etc.

All Nigerian politicians should be forced to patronise the Nigerian health system. No more traveling overseas for headaches etc. Thats the only way that there can be real improvement in the health sector.

hope his benin republic counterpart would educate him on being modest in spending for independence celebrations.

Is there honour amongst thieves.

Why dont they start from their own minority whip, the PEADOPHILE SENATOR AHMED SANI YERIMA.

[color=deeppink]I don't know if he was ranked low or high.

All I know is that there were better goalkeepers in the world cup that performed better than he did.

But he's still an amazing goal keeper.[/color]

His mask is a symbol of the facelessness of Nigerians, it's common for musicians to carry a symbol with them like Flava Flav and his clock. . .

Maybe, but putting on the mask every and anywhere should be dropped. Its turning into a tasteless stunt.

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan threatened Monday to keep his nation's troops out of UN peacekeeping missions unless rules of engagement are changed to help prevent soldiers' deaths.

[b]"I wouldn't want to lose one soldier carelessly, and for that reason, the UN also needs to change rules of engagement if Nigeria's soldiers must be involved in peace operations," [/b]Jonathan told an international seminar on peacekeeping.

He did not specify what new rules of engagement Nigeria wants.

Nigeria, currently a member of the UN Security Council and Africa's most populous nation, lost seven soldiers in 2007 in an ambush during peace operations in Sudan.

Last year, a Nigerian soldier was gunned down near his home in the capital of Sudan's South Darfur state by unknown attackers who stole his car.

Jonathan said militia groups ambushing and killing troops was "totally unacceptable."

The country has also notably participated in peace operations in Liberia and Sierra Leone.

Nigeria's UN mission says on its website that there are more than 6,000 Nigerian troops serving under United Nations mandates worldwide, but it was unclear whether that number remained up to date.

Jonathan also blamed arms manufacturers in rich nations for contributing to violence in Africa.

"In Africa, one of the greatest problems is the dumping of small arms and light weapons by the industrialised countries. This encourages a lot of criminal activities, the militia groups and all kind of conflicts," he said.

Nigeria will hold presidential elections early next year, and Jonathan is widely expected to run.

X Fio:
I don't care if Joe is gay he has talent

he is completely rubbish, average voice and lacks stage presence. Olly should have won.

If he is gay, he should keep it private as the world is not interested what he does in his bedroom. He knew his popularity has severely waned so he wanted to say sth dumb to put himself back in the papers.

[size=20pt]NONSENSE[/size]

Nigeria could as well sack all police officers in the country. Their presence would hardly be missed.
