Family petitions AIG, wants Ladipo market closed to enforce court order

T

he family of Owoyemi Motors and Finance Co Ltd, the rightful owners of the land where Ladipo Market, Mushin, Lagos, is situated, has petitioned the Assistant Inspector General of Police, Zone 2 Command, Onikan, to as a maĴer of urgency, close down the market so as to enforce a court judgement which ordered spare parts dealers at the market to vacate the land. In a petition wriĴen by the family through their counsel, Barrister Debo Adeleke, the family said the traders has refused to obey the 1998 judgement of the then Justice of the Lagos State High Court, Justice K.M.O KekereEkun(now of the Supreme Court) as well as that of Justice O.A. Adefope Okojie which gave the rightful ownership of the

land to the family. Mushin local government had, in 1996, dragged the family before the court over the rightful owners of the 5.154 acres of land which the court later delivered judgement in favour of the family. An appeal which was later ęled by the local government was also dismissed as lacking merit by the Court of Appeal. A recent Stay of Execution of the judgment ęled by the traders before Justice Lateefa Okunnu of a Lagos High Court was also struck out on February 3, 2016, by the court, while the court ordered the Deputy Sheriě to proceed with the execution of the judgement earlier delivered in 1998 by Justice Kekere-Ekun. The petition stated that having seĴled the maĴer with the local government through Alternative Dispute Resolution in

which a portion of the land was seceded to the council by the family for the construction of modern market, as well as the discontinuance of collection of rent from the traders by the council in 2011, the family has made several aĴempts to eject the spare parts dealers from the market through the warrant of execution with no positive result. The petition stated that an ultra-modern market is to be constructed on the land with large parking space after the ejection of the traders It accused the traders of always causing chaos each time aĴempts is made to enforce the court judgment at the market, adding that the recent crisis in which one of the traders was allegedly shot by hoodlums was caused by the traders. It absolved one Monday

James, a representative of the family at the market of causing the mayhem, adding that the traders had also refused to pay rents totalling N196million to the family since 2011, and urged the police authority to wade into the maĴer. “We urge you to use your God given good oĜces to provide our client some security men to enforce the right of our client to possess its lawful and legal property. We also want you to help us get rid of some squaĴers cum trespassers who erected make-shifts tents on our land without authorization. The family members are hungry since the traders have refused to pay them. ” it stated. It added: “This will help to prevent possible break down of law and order by the miscreants who are using the place as their hide-outs in carrying out their nefarious activities.”

Sijuwade , Ogunwusi families deny alleged N400m forgery Michael Olanrewaju, Osogbo

T

he families of the immediate past Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, Olubuse 11 and Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja 11 has denied any alleged case of forgery and subsequent quizzing of Ooni of Ife by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC). In a statement signed by Prince Adetokunbo Sijuwade and Adesina Ogunwusi and made available to Newswatch Times in Osogbo, it described the report ȁas an aĴempt by some enemies of progress to cause an unwarranted disharmony not only between the two royal families of

Sijuwade and Ogunwusi but also to disrupt the peace that Ile-Ife has enjoyed.’ “We urge the public to ignore this sponsored campaign of calumny and advise the promoter of this sacrilegious statement to desist from such an aĴempt only capable of embarrassing a well respected royalty and causing needless acrimony between two royal families which may take the generations unborn to resolve,” it stated. According to the statement, ‘the relationship between the late Ooni of Ife, Okunade Sijuwade and the current Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, then a prince, was a father and son relationship

which translated to a business relationship through their companies. “It is pertinent to say that the cordiality that existed between the late Ooni Okunade sijuwade (Olubuse II) and Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja II) has rather gone beĴer subsequent to Ooni Ogunwusi’s coronation as Kabiyesi almost on daily basis communicates with members of Sijuwade family led by Prince Tokunbo, who is in charge of the business empire left behind by the late Ooni Sijuwade. His Imperial Majesty Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi(Ojaja II) has always prior to and after his coronation been law-abiding

ęne gentleman of clean and unquestionable character who has not been involved in any fraudulent transactions and he has never been invited or quizzed any anti-graft agency. We thus remain unruĝed as the Ěaccid hoax of 400 million naira fraud is incapable of bringing the much valuable hard-earned name to a targeted disrepute before the general public by the so-called Comrade Alimi Sulaiman known to have been hobnobbing with a politician in the town who has refused to accept the unchangeable reality of the destined enthronement of Ooni Ogunwusi against his unpopular choice,” the statement stated.

he Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, yesterday described as misplaced the call made by the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) to President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) over the abandonment of duty posts embarked upon by some of its Osun State branch members. NMA had on Thursday issued a statement appealing to President Buhari and APC to call Aregbesola to order to succumb to the doctors’ demands. Aregbesola, in a statement by the Director, Bureau of Communications and Strategy, O΀ce of the governor, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, said the NMA’s appeal should rather go to its members in Osun, who have

abandoned their duty posts for about 11 months now. He said that the striking doctors initially created the problem themselves by going against the accepted modulated salary regulation applying to over 40, 000 workforce of the state and so, it is normal that they should also be the ones to extricate themselves from the logjam. The governor disclosed that his administration had exhausted all avenues to solve the problems through dialogues and negotiations. He stated that all moves to resolve the problem amicably were turned down by the doctors, who incidentally were being paid their monthly salaries without working up until September 2015. The governor noted that the NMA appeal is better directed to its Osun State Chapter members rather than President Buhari or the APC.

Traders storm Lagos Assembly over planned market demolition

T

raders at Daleko market, Mushin, trooped to the Lagos State House of Assembly yesterday to protest the planned demolition of their shops in the market. They accused the Mushin Local Government Council of conniving with a developer to demolish the market and re-allocate the shops to unknown persons. One of the traders, Mr Segun Okunola, said the protest was to appeal to the House to stop the demolition of the market. A spokesman for the traders, Mr Adebayo Egunjobi, said however, that the traders were not

opposed to rebuilding the market to an ultra-modern shopping complex. He said that the House should ensure that the traders got a shop each when the new shopping complex was completed. Responding, Hon. Olayiwola Olawale, representing Mushin 11 Constituency, accompanied by three other members of the House, assured the traders that their grievances would be looked into. Olawale commended the traders for their peaceful protest, promising that they would meet with the Executive Secretary of the council to get details of the planned demolition.

EFCC amends charge against Me t uh, adds third co unt Cyprian Ebele, Onitsha

T

he Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), yesterday, amended the charge of destruction of document against Peoples Democratic Party (PD) National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh. The charge was amended at the resumption of the proceeding by its counsel, Sylvanus Tahir, at an FCT High Court presided over by Justice Ishaq Bello. Tahir said the third-count of Mischief contravened Section 326 punishable under Section 327 of the Penal Code. Testifying in the case, an EFCC witness, Mr Junaid Said, told the

court that Metuh tore the commission’s document. Said, a Special Task Force Team member of EFCC, led in evidence by Tahir, said that the team received a petition in January 2016. He said that the petition was from the o΀ce of the National Security Adviser (NSA), retired Col. Sambo Dasuki, which alleged that he transferred N400 million to Destra Investment Limited, a company owned by Metuh. The EFCC witness said investigations revealed that the transfer was done without any contract approval, adding that the team visited the resident of Metuh at Prince and Princess Estate, Abuja, on Jan. 5

and invited him to the commission. “My Lord, when he concluded writing his statement which was on four sheets of the EFCC statement form, I collected the statement and read over it, I then handed the statement over to my superiors Musa and Wetkas. When I was handing over the statement, the defendant said he was surprised that he had written that much and that he felt he had given too much information. Because of the comment, I was worried I gave him the statement sheets one after the other for endorsement,’’ the witness said. He said Metuh endorsed the Àrst and second sheet, but tore the

third sheet. The witness told the court that the third sheet was where Metuh disclosed that he received the money for PDP political activities, settle his personal needs and made reference to former President Goodluck Jonathan. “He said he did that (tore the sheet) because he was no longer willing to give the information on that statement sheet,” the witness said. Under cross examination by Metuh’s counsel, Mr Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), the witness said that the issue of the tore sheet was not written in his statement. The matter was adjourned till March 16 for continuation of trial.

Retiree,UTC, in cour t over ter minal benefits Ayodele Olalere

A

retired staě of UTC Nigeria Plc, Mrs Abolade Ajala, has dragged the company before the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Lagos, over the alleged refusal of the company to pay the balance of her terminal beneęts. Mrs Ajala alleged that the company withheld the sum of N26, 558,012.ŝ6, being the balance of her retirement beneęts, since she retired from the company on August 12, 2011, having worked for the company

for 29 years and rose to the position of Senior Management OĜcer before retiring. The claimant, through her counsel, Barrister Olatunde Adejuyigbe (SAN) told Justice O.O Oyewumi, that the defendant had been served court processes since January 16, 2016, but has refused to ęle its defense. The judge therefore ordered the defendant to ęle its defense within seven days and adjourned the case to March 16, 2016 for report on the compliance of the order. The claimant is alleging that her leĴer of retirement

from the company dated August 12, 2011 indicated that a total sum of N35, 558,012.ŝ6 being the total sum of her retirement beneęt would be paid to her ‘on her exit date’. She stated that she was surprised that only N9million was later paid to her against the correct sum of over N35million which she was entitled to. She further stated that the defendant also owes her ‘post retirement contract salaries at the rate of N200, 000 per month from April 2013 to January 2014 totalling N2million.’ The claimant is therefore

seeking for ‘an order of the court compelling the defendant to pay to the claimant the sum of N28, 558,012.ŝ6 being the outstanding retirement beneęts and unpaid salaries due to the claimant from December 1, 2011 till February 28, 2015. Also ‘interest on the sum of N28, 558,012.ŝ6 at the rate of 11percent per annum from December 1, 2011 until judgement and thereafter at the rate of 30percent per annum until the debt is liquidated.’ Other relief sought by the claimant is the sum of N3million ‘being the legal fees incurred by the claimant.’

N2.3bn Scam: EFCC presents 3 new witnesses against Akpobolokemi Bernard Taiwo

T

he Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday presented three new witnesses against a former Director- General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, Patrick Akpobolokemi. Akpobolokemi, alongside Àve others, are standing trial before Justice Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos in a N2.3billion money laundering charge preferred against them by the EFCC. At the resumed hearing of the matter on Thursday, prosecution counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, led three witnesses Yahaya Mohammed Yusuf and Wakili Dauda, (both bureau de change operators) and Olamide Ogunsanya , an Assistant Director with NIMASA, in evidence. Yusuf who is the 7th prosecution witness told the court how he received the sum of N230, 926,000 from Extreme Vertex Nigeria Limited through an account: Kofar Fada Nigeria Limited, owned by his brother. Extreme Vertex Nigeria Limited is one of the companies alleged to have beneÀted from the disbursement of over 2bn Naira from the Committee on International Shipping and Port Security (ISPS) in NIMASA. Yusuf said that the second accused person, Captain Ezekiel Bala Agaba, was his long- time customer . According to him, on 7 November, 2014, Kofar Fada Nigeria Limited received the total sum of N145,350,000 in three tranches from Extreme Vertex Nigeria Limited. On 14 November, 2014, another N 5, 576,000 was also paid in by the same company into Kofar Fada Nigeria Limited’s bank account. Yusuf said that after the money was credited into the account, he took the dollar equiva-

lent of the entire sum to the second accused person’s o΀ce in NIMASA and handed it to him. When pressed to disclose his dealings with the other accused persons, he denied knowing any of the accused persons apart from the second accused person whom he had dealings with. Wakili Dauda, the th prosecution witness and one Dahiru Garba are the sole owners of Kofar Fada Nigeria Limited. In his testimony, Dauda conÀrmed the testimony of Yusuf but, added that he is one the signatories to the account of Kofar Fada Nigeria Limited. He conÀrmed all the transactions of 7 and 14 November 2014 as disclosed by Yusuf. He told the court that he never had physical contact with any of the accused persons. Olamide Ogunsanya, the 9th prosecution witness told the court that her department is in charge of revenue collection, processing and payment of contracts and that all payments in the agency were approved by Akpobolokemi . She pointed out that no payment could be made in NIMASA without the approval of the former Director- General. Ogunsanya identiÀed the second accused person, Captain Ezekiel Bala Agaba, as the Chairman of the Committee on International Shipping and Port Security and that he was reporting directly to Akpobolokemi . She also conÀrmed that the approval for constituting the Committee was obtained from the presidency through the o΀ce of the National Security Adviser. According to her, it was Akpobolokemi that obtained the approval. The instruction for payments through the Committee, she explained, normally emanates from Akpobolokemi to Agaba, who will then issue a memo to the Director, Financial Services to make payments to any

beneÀciary stated in the memo. The witness told the court that on four occasions , between June 2013 and August 2014, the ISPS account received monies in the sum of N2,060,000,000 ( Two billion, sixty million Naira only); N1,123, 400,000 ( One billion, one hundred and twenty- three million, four hundred thousand Naira only); N795,200,000 ( Seven hundred and ninetyÀve million, two hundred thousand Naira only) and N447,000,000 (Four hundred and forty seven million Naira only) respectively. She identiÀed the account

opening packages of the Committee domiciled at Access Bank and Zenith Bank. The documents were then admitted into evidence as exhibit P1 and P19. According to the witness, all approvals for the release of the above sums were obtained from the O΀ce of the Accountant General of the Federation by Akpobolokemi . Ogunsanya was shown the approval for the release of the sum of N1,123,400,000 which she identiÀed and same was admitted as exhibit P20. Justice Buba adjourned the matter to 1 March, 2016 for continuation of trial.

Magu reassures lawyers on judiciary’s integrity Ayodele Olalere

T

he acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu has reassured lawyers and judges that comments aĴributed to him in recent media reports regarding the conduct of judicial oĜcials, was not intended at impugning their integrity. In statement by the EFCC’s spokesperson, Wilson Uwajeren, his comments, and activities of the Commission, should not be interpreted to mean a blanket indictment of all lawyers and judges but, rather directed at a few bad eggs within the system. “There is no way one can make a blanket statement on the integrity of lawyers and judges. Nigeria is blessed

with some of the best lawyers and judges on the African continent. My worry is that the bad ones amongst them are giving the good ones a bad name�, he said. He emphasized that the Commission deeply appreciates the support of most conscientious, upright and patriotic members of the bar and bench (including defence counsels), leading to the Commission’s unbeaten prosecution and conviction record. Magu stated further that, mindful of the fact that judges are constrained from publicly responding to criticism against them, the Commission only employs legal and administrative procedures, including investigation of errant judicial oĜcers and laying complaints against them before the National Judicial Council (NJC).

El-Rufa’i urges ABU Zaria alumni to generate N800m yearly

G

overnor Nasir ElRufa’i of Kaduna State has urged members of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria Alumni Association to raise N 00 million yearly in support of their Alma mater. The governor, who is an alumnus of the institution made the call when members of the National Executive Committee of the association paid him a courtesy visit yesterday in Kaduna. El-Rufa’i said the amount could easily be raised if each of the 00,000-member association made a yearly contribution of N1,

``This will ease transportation problems often faced by the students of both campuses.’’ Mora said the association would begin a laptop computer loan scheme for students to pay gradually during their stay on campus as undergraduates. He added that the projects were carefully selected to serve as the association’s corporate social responsibility. He announced that President Muhammadu Buhari, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Obi of Onitsha were expected to grace the launch of the alumni’s publication at a future date.

...Scraps multiple taxation in Kaduna ... Signs tax, pension bills into law Baba Negedu, Kaduna

K

aduna State G o v e r n o r, Malam Nasir El-Rufai yesterday signed the new Tax CodiÀcation and Pension bills into laws, harmonizing the collection of revenue in Kaduna State under one agency. The Governor insisted that with the new Tax CodiÀcation Law, investors, business owners and citizens of the state will stop paying taxes to any other agency apart from Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service (KADIRS). Speaking shortly after signing the bills into law, El-Rufai said, the tax law enacts a comprehensive, all-in-one tax code for the state, which harmonizes and centralizes the collection of all revenues in a

single agency. He said, “The Kaduna State Tax (CodiĂ€cation and Consolidation) Law is an investor-friendly tax code that consolidates all taxes payable in the state in one law and in one document. The tax law enacts a comprehensive, all-in-one tax code for the state. It harmonizes and centralizes the collection of all revenues in a single agency, the Kaduna State Internal Revenue Service. Its objectives include improving the revenue base of the state, making payments easy for the taxpayer and raising the e΀ciency of tax collection.â€? According to him, “The law ensures that any investor in Kaduna State can see all state and local government taxes in one document and be assured that all companies and individuals can pay with ease to

only one revenue collector. “The new tax code has the advantage of assuring that businesses treasure. Investors know precisely what taxes are payable and can arrange prompt settlement of their obligations, secure in the knowledge that they will be dealing with only one agency. “It is our expectation that this law will help improve the ease of doing business in the state, attract more investors and create more jobs. It will also protect taxpayers from harassment by multiple revenue-collection agencies. “In the interest of accountability, the law prohibits the collection of cash revenues. All payments are to be made through the banks or by electronic means. “In furtherance of these goals, the tax law repeals sections of previous laws that have a tax component.

All state laws and sections in the existing laws that empower any other person or authority to collect any tax, levy charges and rates on behalf of the state cease to have eÍżect. “The laws that have been abrogated include the Local Government Revenue Harmonisation Law of 2014, the Hotels and Resorts (Room Rates) Levy Law of 2012, and the Board of Internal Revenue Service Law of 2015. The taxes charged under the repealed laws are now listed in the new tax code. “Let it be clear that the new tax code comes into eÍżect immediately. Henceforth, no local government in Kaduna State, or any other agency other than the KADIRS can approach individuals and businesses for the purposes of collecting taxes and levies payable to the Kaduna State Government.

he Senate will expunge Section 4 of the Anti-Frivolous Petitions Bill, popularly known as ‘AntiSocial Media Bill,’ to give the media the freedom it deserved, the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, has assured. This is contained in a statement signed by the Special Assistant on New Media, Mr Bankole Omishore and issued to newsmen yesterday in Abuja. The statement said Saraki gave the assurance while delivering a keynote address at an interactive session of Social Media Week in Lagos. He promised that the National Assembly would not pass any bill that would gag the media or infringe on the rights of Nigerians. Saraki recounted the critical role played by online media in the successful conduct of the 2015 general elections. He said that social media ensured that manipulation of votes was reduced

to the barest minimum because results were posted online as the elections progressed. He urged Nigerians to continue to contribute to the development of the country through dialogue and debate on social media. The president assured that the legislature would be open to Nigerians as part of its eͿort to ensure transparency and accountability. He said that the recent interactive session between the National Assembly and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) was part of such eͿorts. Saraki assured that the legislature would, from 2017, engage CSOs in budget hearing process to ensure inclusiveness. The Deputy Senate Leader, Bala Na’ Allah sponsored a Bill for Act to Prohibit Frivolous Petitions, and other matters connected therewith, 2015. The bill scaled second reading on the à oor of the senate and it is scheduled for public hearing in March.

Obiano inaugurates new revenue collection system to check leakages

G

overnor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, yesterday, inaugurated a Point of Sale (PoS) Consolidated Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) system to eliminate leakages in the collection of revenue in the state. Inaugurating the project in Awka, Obiano said that the new revenue collection system was in conjunction with eight bank partners and would employ no fewer than 10,000 agents. He listed some of the approved levies in the state to include, sanitation, market development, loading and oÍż-loading, traders, decongestion and stallage. CCAnambra State Government expects the monthly IGR to increase to N2. 2

billion from the present N1.3 billion. So l urge all the stakeholders in the state’s revenue generation scheme to carry out their task with diligence,’’ Obiano said. In his speech, one of the state’s IGR Consultants, Mr Olisa Aniuno, said that the PoS revenue collection system was simple and eͿective. Aniuno noted that the system Àrst adopted by Anambra, entailed the use of debit card to pay for the approved fees, straight into the state government account. The consultant explained that the system would ensure that government revenues due the state were not diverted into private pockets, especially this period of falling federal allocation.

How David Mark won Benue South rerun election Mansur Oladunjoye, Asst. Politics Editor

T

he Benue South senatorial district rerun election held last Saturday was perhaps one of the most highly anticipated reruns in Nigeria’s current election cycle. The initial contest between Senator David Mark – Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Daniel Onjeh of All Progressives Congress (APC) on March 28, 2015, was seen by many as a contest between a political neophyte and a colossus, with the perception of some pundits that Onjeh had little or no chance against his rival. The eventual results of the election, though annulled by an appeal court under controversial circumstances, reÁected earlier assumptions that Mark was the candidate to beat. With the annulment of the election by the court of appeal, the storyline by supporters of Onjeh has replayed itself. The pro-Onjeh narrative remains that Onjeh, a largely unknown candidate with some youth followers coupled with the might of his party making wave across the country, will against impossible odds emerge victorious against Mark, a four-time senator regarded by many as heavyweight. But a critical study of electoral results and trends from this zone C had already showed a strong, almost certain, likelihood of Mark emerging victorious. For instance, historically, the Benue South senatorial district has always overwhelmingly voted the PDP since the return of democracy in 1999. Until the 2015 general elections, no other party won elections into any electoral o΀ce in the zone. Now, this is a pretty telling the second fact that; in the just held general elections, the PDP won 10 of the 11 House of Assembly seats. It is widely believed that the PDP only lost the seat for the OtukpoAdoka constituency because residents of the area voted for the APC candidate in protest of the candidacy of Hon. Joshua Ogbole. It is also instructive to note that the PDP won all four seats at the House of Representatives election in March 2015. One of those seats is still the subject matter of litigation over the qualiÀcation of the PDP candidate. Despite the strong showing of the ruling APC in the presidential and gubernatorial elections in the state, the PDP candidates in both elections won the zone by strong margins.

Mark

It would be recalled that Onjeh faced disunity in his camp with most of the political bigwigs from the zone refusing to go all out to support his candidature. Chief Audu Ogbeh, the minister of agriculture battled seriously with the petition allegedly written by Onjeh to the Senate opposing his nomination as minister while Ogbeh was in far away Rome. The likes of Chief Mike Onoja, Steven Lawani, Jerry Agada

and Sam Ode were said to have refrained from backing Onjeh to the hilt based on the belief that Mark will probably leave the upper legislative chamber in 2019. These APC bigwigs reckon that an Onjeh victory will make it more di΀cult for any one of them to vie for the senatorial seat upon Mark’s exit. To make matters worse, the two biggest grassroots mobilizers in the Benue South senatorial district

True to these permutations, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), last Saturday declared Mark as the winner of the Re-run election, having polled 84, 192 votes against Onjeh’s 71, 621

are in the camp of Mark. Comrade Abba Moro, former minister of interior, serves as his campaign director general, and in a rare boost, Alhaji Usman Abubakar (aka Young Alhaji); a pro-APC political inÁuence also endorsed Mark, rolling out his grassroots campaign machinery in support of the former Senate president. This meant that signiÀcant inroads were made into Onjeh’s primary support base. More emphatically, and importantly too, the people of Benue South saw the election as a battle between Idoma liberation and Tiv domination. Onjeh was backed by powerful interests from the Tiv ethnicity of the state, chief amongst whom was Sen. George Akume, the former governor of the state, now a serving senator. The popular notion in Benue South is that more than any other son of Benue South, Mark stands out as the greatest beacon of hope for the liberation of Idoma/Igede people. Despite the grievances some of his constituents may have, the prevailing sentiment is that Benue South will not replace a “Lion” with a “Goat” in the Senate. Taking all these into consideration, one is hard pressed to see Onjeh bridging the gap between the 50,115 votes he scored during the March 2015 elections, and the 99,530 scored by Senator Mark. True to these permutations, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), last Saturday declared Mark the winner of the Re-run election, having polled 84, 192 votes against Onjeh’s 71, 621. Mark won in Àve local government areas while Onjeh won in four. The result was declared by Prof. Ishaku Eneji. Mark was declared winner amid protests by his challenger, who demanded that the election be declared inconclusive. Declaring the results of the rerun at 5.51am on Sunday, the Senatorial Returning O΀cer (SRO), Eneji said, “Having satisÀed the requirement of the law, David Bournaventure is hereby declared winner.” While 522, 713 were registered for the election, only 165, 093 were accredited, indicating voters’ apathy across the senatorial zone. A further breakdown showed 159,557 was the number of total votes cast, of which 155,813 votes were held valid, while 3,744 were rejected as invalid. According to the results, out of the nine local government areas of which the district is composed, Mark secured victory in Àve local government areas: Ado, Agatu, Continued on Page 35

Ogun at 40: Amosun has no equal –Monarch Oba (Dr) Musiliu Afolabi Onipede, Olu of Itori-Oke in Egbaland (Firorun Gbade Olojoru 1) in Ogun State is a king rich in culture and traditional values. The Ifa priest and traditional medicine practitioner speaks with Assistant Politics Editor MANSUR OLADUNJOYE at his Lagos home on the many achievements of Governor Ibikunle Amosun, politics and tradition as well as laments intrigues employed by some contestants to kingship and other sundry issues. Excerpts:

Y

our highness how is life as an ordinary person diͿerenW froP WhaW of an oba? On the day you are crowned, you have ceased and restricted from leading a normal life; all by and large, royalty is good, I savour it. ,s Whis Whe reason why soPe people will do anyWhing Wo realise iW? It is not so. We all know that kingship is of a lineage; we all know that ascension to the throne ought not to be seriously contested; it ought not to be a do-or-die aͿairs. As a matter of fact, it is an abuse of tradition and culture for people who are not entitled to kingship or throne to attempt vying for it. My own case ought to play across the land; i had no rival before I was made the king. I am not ruling out rivalry among the ruling house but it should be with modesty. +ow Flose is goYernPenW Wo your people? Let me seize this opportunity to applaud Governor Ibikunle Amosun for his fatherly role across the divide. This gentle man also extended desirable governance to our people in the rural areas. We thank God for the governor and the masses. :haW are Whe PaMor Fhallenges in your doPain? Well i cannot really pinpoint a major challenge in my domain because there is nothing we ever demanded of the governor that he denied us. We are only appealing to him to help with the MokolokinOgbeleaye road that is in disrepair now; we want him to tar it for us because government only grade it from time to time. it is a pathetic situation and strenuous too to always take Papa to Iro and Owode. The road if constructed would also boost economy in our areas and also surrounding areas. %y ways of adYiFe whaW are your obserYaWions of 3residenW 0uhaPPadu %uhari¡s

goYernPenW? We are thankful that Buhari has started involving the tradition rulers in his government; this ought to be so because we are the closest to the grassroots, by extension, we are the closest to the electorate and as such deĂ€nitely have greater inĂ uence on them. by this, let me urge our political representatives to be closer to us, not just to remain in Abuja or at the centre only to return to us for electioneering campaigns, this is not too good. How do you assess Governor $Posun¡s weeNlong FelebraWion of Whe sWaWe¡s years anniversary? We thank Amosun for all his achievements in Ogun State; he has turned the state into a serious competing one in the comity of states. We however plead with him to consider more, the rural areas like Obafe, Ogbeleaye, Moko and others, no doubt he has tried but we still need more because rural areas are pivotal in assessing foods. :haW is your WaNe on Whe sWruggles for Frown Ningship? Thank you very much. Let me tell you that in Yorubaland, we have culture and tradition. It is our belief

that Kingship in this part of the world is always earned by the Àrst settler in a particular community or area. it is government that determines when and where deserves a kingship, when a government decided to zone or give crown to a community, the same government may through its agencies investigate the true owner/settler of the fortunate area ask for the families of the Àrst settler for this lofty opportunity. However, whereby we have nonindigenes attempting to either by connection or Ànancial base usurp this opportunity, the family of the Àrst settler with genuine documents must move swiftly to challenge this and appeal to the reasoning of an average kingmaker and the citizenry. Sir, a case study is what is happening in Obada-Oko where

I am aware that Ijemo belongs to the Ijemos; also, I trust the sense of judgement of our paramount ruler, Alake of Egbaland as well as the entire council of traditional rulers, this time, only the just would ascend the Obada throne, we cannot continue to wallow in injustice and unfairness. We must sanitise tradition, we don’t want jungle justice and winner takes all

the land owners were once denied ascending the throne; what do you have to say about this? The truth is that I pity the Sangodina Koole family and our traditional system; i also pity the Omotayo stock who have been at the forefront of sustaining the Sangodina Koole the founder of the said town. Before being crowned a king, i bought land and also worked there so i can say with all sense of decency and authority the town, its ownership as well as the administration there. It is unfortunate that the town was once ruled by a stranger (Mufutau SoÀdiya) who leased land from one Lasisi Oladunjoye, a son of Omotayo (both deceased). Now that Mufutau is dead, it is commonly expected that the owners take over, alas! We saw about 10 people from far and near the town attempting to take over as if Obada is a no man’s land. Thank God the number has been reduced to four. However, as a member of Egba council of traditional rulers, I am aware that the said community belongs to the Ijemos; also, I trust the sense of judgement of our paramount ruler, Alake of Egbaland as well as the entire council of traditional rulers, this time, only the just would ascend the Obada throne, we cannot continue to wallow in injustice and unfairness. We must sanitise tradition, we don’t want jungle justice and winner takes all. Look at me now, my own alias is Àrorun gbade (ascension to the throne with ease) nobody struggled it with me because all the concerned knew who ought to be the oba so I never contested it with anybody.

Sports/News Why Oliseh resigned ...Tijjani Babangida vows not to return to Eagles over ‘shoddy’ treatment from NFF

M

GBOLAHAN DADA

ore facts last night emerged why Former Nigerian captain, Sunday Oliseh resigned as coach of the national team with immediate eěect. Tijjani Babangida’s reluctance to return to Eagles after he was pronounced sacked as his Personal Assistant by the Nigeria Football Federation, (NFF), must have triggered up Oliseh’s sudden change of heart. Oliseh, who took over the Super Eagles job in July 2015, has had a topsy-turvy relationship with the NFF and also had a few run-ins with players. His tenure as coach was characterised by incessant tiěs with the football ruling house that culminated in an eight-minute rant on social media chiding agents, journalists and his assistants whom he claimed were working against him after Nigeria’s ousting at the 2016 Chan tournament in Rwanda. Oliseh sent in his resignation after collecting the back-log of his salaries that were owed him by the NFF. His friend, Babangida, had also made up his

mind not to return to Eagles, even as Oliseh insisted that he would pay him from his purse before he ęnally resigned. Oliseh had been having a running baĴle with the NFF bigwigs after he was informed that Babangida will no longer act as Super Eagles coach Personal Assistant. Babangida was reported to be earning N600,000 per month before NFF decided to terminate his contract as Oliseh’s Personal Assistant. Not happy with the way NFF handled the case, Babangida told Oliseh to forget about him, saying that he’s no longer interested in the job. According to Babangida media aide, the former player was devastated and demanded an apology from the NFF oĜcials who celebrated that case as if he was the problem of the team when they recorded poor outing at the last CHAN tournament in Rwanda. “As a former national team who contributed well to the Super Eagles, Babangida deserves a beĴer bargain from the NFF. It is unfortunate that he is not respected by those who did not even play the game before. It’s a shame that a

person like Babangida is messed up by NFF. I am so shocked to believe it,” he said. Several reports conęrmed that Oliseh has chosen to retain his former teammate and pay him out from his pocket. Oliseh is also arguing that his contract stipulates that he is entitled to appoint two members of staě who are independent of the NFF. The Minister for Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung had lambasted the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) over its decision to terminate the appointment of Babangida. Dalung was not happy that despite his eěorts to end the crisis between the NFF and the embaĴled Oliseh, the federation allegedly went ahead to sack Babangida. It was gathered that Babangida was sacked by the federation, following Oliseh’s YouTube ran, as the NFF claimed the former Eagles winger did not play his role as a P.A to the coach. The minister blasted the NFF, calling the decision an ‘unnecessary ego ęght’ which could jeopardise the teams upcoming 2017 African Cup of Nations qualifying ęxtures against the Pharaoh’s of Egypt.

Okpekpe organisers set for great show in Edo

T

he organisers of the 4th Okpekpe 10 kilometer Road Race holding on May 7 at Okpekpe, Etsako East Local Government Area, Edo State, are living no stone unturned to this year’s event the best in recent time. The organisers are puĴing ęnishing touches to their preparations, even as one of the indigenes, announced his plan to sponsor some Nigerian athletes to defeat the Kenyans this year.

The Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami’s Special Adviser, Barrister Sylvester Imhanobe, an author of diěerent law books and a former lecturer with the Nigeria Law School, said he has identięed some local talents at the Old Parade Ground, Abuja that could breast the tape before the Kenyans. He told Newswatch Times Sports that “I practised this morning. I go to the old parade ground in Abuja here to practise and I have identięed some

local athletes that I will sponsor to come and run in Okpekpe. This is because we must beat the Kenyans.” The lawyer was proud that Lagos is now taking a cue from Okpekpe in term of road race. He said : “We are prepared because you can see we have had it for three years now. Good enough, you can see that Lagos is taking a cue from Okpekpe . They had their ęrst marathon and we watched Lagos marathon closely and we are rated on the international body. We intend to move higher. We are well prepared .” Similarly, the Ede of Okpekpe, Engr. Donaldson Eshilama, who also spoke with Newswatch Times Sports on telephone yesterday, noted that he has already invited three of his friends that have keen interest in sports to grace this year’s event. Eshilamah is a professional engineer with one of International Oil Company (IOCs) in the country.

CCL: Snakes, ladders as Enyimba face Vipers

T

wo-time African champions, Enyimba Football Club of Aba, will be under pressure to overturn a shock loss at SC Vipers of Uganda so as to advance to the ęrst round of the continent’s biggest club competition. Vipers marked their debut in the CAF Champions League a fortnight ago when they won 1-0 in Kampala, but they face a tougher task in the southern oil city of Port Harcourt tomorrow against the seven-time Nigeria champions. The overall winners of this match-up will face the winners of the game between Liolo FC (Lesotho) and Vital’O (Burundi) in the next round in March. Vipers’ experienced defender Yusuf Mukisa said they are conędent they can progress to the next round at the expense of Enyimba. “We have prepared ourselves well and know that we don’t have the pedigree, but our conędence will inspire us to win,” Mukisa told his club’s website. Mukisa’s conędence was based on the return to training of Siraj Sentamu, Shaęk Bakaki and Ismail Watenga, who all missed the ęrst leg through injuries. “Perhaps the return of experienced players such as Watenga will be an incentive for us, we need to be solid as well,” he added. But Enyimba goalkeeper Femi Thomas predicted “The People’s Elephant” will put away the chances they after

they failed to do in the ęrst leg in Uganda. “We have been playing good football, people who have watched our games can testify to that. It’s just that the goals are not coming. But I am assuring our fans that will change from our next match, which will be against Vipers in a CAF Champions League game,” he assured. South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns are another team who will have to make the most of their home advantage this weekend after they were upset 1-0 by Zimbabwe’s Chicken Inn in the ęrst encounter in Bulawayo. Uganda international goalkeeper Denis Onyango said “The Brazilians”, as the South Africa league leaders are known by their fans, will win on Saturday under Ěoodlights in Pretoria to move to the next round of the competition. “It was not good that we lost in Zimbabwe. They caught us on the counter as

they were siĴing back when we aĴacked them,” he said. “We know it’s not over yet because they are still coming here. That was just like the ęrst half of the game. Now, we have to go back and change the results in the second leg.” Saint George of Ethiopia, Kaizer Chiefs from South Africa, V Club from DR Congo and Recreativo Libolo of Angola are expected to advance to the next round after they recorded convincing wins in their respective ęrst leg encounters two weeks ago. Nigeria’s Warri Wolves and Ferravario Maputo from Mozambique have already qualięed for the ęrst round after they enjoyed walkovers. Defending champions TP Mazembe, Etoile du Sahel from Tunisia as well as Egyptian giants Al Ahly and Zamalek will all feature in the ęrst round of the competition between March 11-20 after they were handed byes.

Love Tips

U

nconditional motivation: The perfect partner is the one who seeks your success with little complaints. Your partner inspires you to be a better person. It doesn’t mean that you are not a fabulous person, but your partner will likely inspire in you a drive to do your best at everything, strive for even greater things, and in the end, make you a better person. 2. Give support: At the same time, your perfect partner won’t pull punches when you need them. Part of growing and developing as a person and in your relationship is to know when you go wrong, and your partner understands that, but they also know that you deserve support, even when you have messed up. 3. Work out your differences: Even when you have glaring differences, you find ways to make them work. When you meet someone that is ready to make differences work in less than a month, then stick to such person. It’s a good sign. 4. You don’t get tired of each other: When you are in a relationship, you need a little bit of time to be alone now and then. But when you’re with someone you’re meant to be with, you just can’t get enough of each other. You want to go everywhere together and do everything together. When you’re apart, all you can do is think of the other person. 5. Selfless plans: When your partner makes goals, he/she does so with you in mind. We all have hopes, dreams and goals for ourselves. Many times, they concern only us; but in a perfect relationship, your partner will always keep you in mind. When your partner dreams, he/she dreams with you. 6. Your partner finds ways to make you feel special: Like I said before, he/she knows you insideout and exactly what’s going to bring a smile to your ambush. You partner ensures that you are happy every time. Your partner sacrifices him/ herself to make you happy. 7. Easy emotional expression: Your right partner easily shows his/her feelings. Some people have a hard shell. Your right partner most times opens up to you on first date, never allows you to go through any stress nor spends too much money or give material things before he or she gives in for growth. And that’s a good sign. 8. True confession: One of the most fantastic ways that you have found the right partner is that both of you know each other better than

Your partner will know what you are going to say before you say it, good or bad. Your partner will know what you’re thinking. You won’t be able to hide much of anything from him/her. And they won’t be able to hide much from you either. No matter how terrible any issue is, you will be free to tell your partner if you are will the right person and that will not lead to separation, but not in the case of infidelity which opinion also varies on individual’s submission.

9. Scare you: Your right person will scare you sometimes to make your heart jump up a little. This is sometimes a way to know if you mean the business of loving or not. With persistence spirit thereafter, it’s a good sign as most people attempt that on first date. 10. Open up: Your partner never hides anything from the moment you commence a relationship, never lies, and never despises you or where you live, but rather support you to grow anyhow.

’m in love with my aunt’s man

I recently went to live with my aunty during my NYSC. I met her fiancé for the first time. He’s literally tall, dark and handsome and I want to steal him from my aunt since she divorced her last husband. She is 40 now and he looks really young and hot even though he is 42. The problem is that I am 24 and really want him. I have a feeling he wants me too because from the first time he saw me, he had a twinkle in his eyes. I don’t want to embarrass myself in front of him. What do I do? Vivian Orokododo, Markudi Vivian You sound like a love-struck teenager. I guess you have a mad crush and you chose your aunt’s man! Number one, don’t you think this guy is a bit too old for you? Secondly, you don’t even know for sure that he even sees you let alone, likes you. In matters of the heart, it is best to keep it away from close people - spread your love tentacles far away from home. Look at him like he is already married to your aunty. He is technically your uncle. You see, in all ways, this guy is wrong for you. Don’t embarrass yourself. You are a young woman and there are many young men out there waiting for you. Good luck!

Crouch attends Brit Awards after party with wife

S

toke City striker, Peter Crouch, enjoyed an evening out at the Brit Awards on Wednesday night and aĴended the event’s gliĵy after party in Covent Garden. The 35-year-old was on hand to support a tired-looking wife Abbey at the Freemasons Hall after watching pop star Adele win four prizes, including best British female and best album. Crouch has not played for the PoĴers since the 3-0 Premier League defeat by Manchester United at the start of this month and has scored just two goals in 13 appearances this term. Stoke City striker Peter

Crouch and supermodel wife Abbey aĴend the Brit Awards’ after The journeyman forward has played for 10 diěerent clubs in his career and won 42 senior caps for England between 2005 and 2010. Now in his twilight years, however, Crouch has found ęrst-team opportunities limited at Stoke with Mame Biram Diouf and Jonathan Walters preferred instead. Stoke are currently 10th in the league table and chasing a third successive top half ęnish under manager Mark Hughes. After a ęrst win in four league games, a 3-1 success away at

Bournemouth to arrest a mid-season slump, defender Erik Pieters is conędent that his side can push on. Crouch has played for 10 diěerent clubs over the course of his career and won 42 caps for England The left back told the BBC Radio Stoke after the victory over the Cherries last time out: ‘It’s hard when we lose a couple of games 3-0 and people say we can’t play football anymore. ‘But we showed we’re really conędent in our play.’ Pieters added: ‘There are 12 games to go and the top 10 is always on our mind. We have to keep focused on that.’

Rodgers gets down on one knee in Times Square as he proposes to girlfriend

F

ormer Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, has proven his love for the big occasion once again by proposing to girlfriend CharloĴe Searle in New York’s Times Square. The Northern Irishman, who was never one to shy away from

important decisions at Anęeld, showed similar traits as he got engaged in one of the world’s most-iconic locations. Rodgers divorced his wife of 14 years, Susan, in December and just 68 days on he has taken the ęrst important step towards another trip down the aisle. Tourists in Times

Square were shocked when they identięed Rodgers as the man crouched in front of his 33-year-old girlfriend after he had handed her a bouquet of roses. He was spoĴed doing so by Liverpool fan Craig Allen, who said he saw him hand the mother-of-one a bouquet of roses before geĴing down on one knee. Allen - who was waiting outside a store when he spoĴed a man down on one knee told The Sun: ‘I was gobsmacked when I saw it was Rodgers. ‘They stopped oě in a Mercedes, he popped the question in front of a photographer, put the ring on and away they went.’ Miss Searle was Liverpool’s travel coordinator when she ęrst met Rodgers - who was paid £5milliona-year as the club’s manager - in 2013.

West Ham trio fix first claret seats as club prepares for Olympic Stadium

est Ham trio

Cheikhou Kouyate, Pedro Obiang and academy goalkeeper Sam Howes took a hands-on approach to the club’s imminent move into the Olympic Stadium, helping to install the ęrst claret seats. The three Hammers donned hard hats and dropped into the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to help out with the moving in process, which takes place in the close season. Anticipation is gathering at West

B i l i c hails retu r n in g Allardyce ...As Emenike, Moses promise to destroy Sunderland

W

est Ham boss, Slaven Bilic paid tribute to Sam Allardyce ahead of the Sunderland manager’s return to his former club in the Premier League on Saturday. The match at Upton Park sees Allardyce, who managed the Hammers for four seasons between 2011 and 2015, face his successor for the ęrst time. Bilic, who at 38 per cent has the best win rate of any Hammers boss in the Premier League era, congratulated his counterpart on his accomplishments ahead of the clash and talked up Sunderland’s chances of avoiding relegation.

“Sam did great for West Ham,” said the former Croatia boss in his press conference on Thursday. “He has managed for 20 years very successfully and he took over West Ham at a

moment when we were in the Championship. He got us up straight away and stabilised us in the Premier League, so he did a great job here. “Sunderland are very organised, they are showing

not only the quality, but the character. They have a quality not only on breaks, but also in diěerent ways. “There is still a long way to go for them, but they have a big chance to stay in the league.” West Ham impressively moved into the FA Cup quarter-ęnals with wins over Liverpool and Blackburn Rovers this month, but could do with a victory over Allardyce as, in the league, they have won only one in ęve and slipped down to seventh in the table. Despite their league dip the Hammers are Ěying at Upton Park having not suěered defeat there in the top Ěight since August, while Sunderland have struggled on their travels, winning just two of their last 15 away league games.

Ham, who are entering the ęnal few months of its time at the Boleyn Ground, following 112 years as the home of the east London club. Things are beginning to take shape, with Kouyate, Obiang and Howes the latest members of Slaven Bilic’s squad to take stock of the developments at their future home. The club has sold more season tickets at the new Stadium than the 35,016 capacity of Upton Park and the new East Stand will have ‘West Ham’ and the club’s iconic crossed hammers emblazoned across its claret and blue seats. Kouyate comically appeared to struggle with the use of a drill, but the Senegalese midęelder is relishing the prospect of playing in front of a sell-out crowd at the 54,000-

seat stadium every fortnight. ‘When I signed it was an ambition to play here, but it felt far away,’ he told the club’s oĜcial website. ‘Now, it’s only a few months and it’s exciting for everyone. ‘It’s going to be full, which is amazing. The fans have shown that we belong at a stadium like this, one of the best in Europe. ‘The colours are very important. It’s our history and our identity. This is our home and it’s going to look like our home. The fans are going to love it.’ ‘The fans are incredible. The away support at Blackburn was mad! It was like a home game for us. They make a big diěerence to us and we look forward to playing in front of them here.’

Idoko rewards Lobi players with N.1m each

C

hairman of Lobi Stars FC of Makurdi, Mike Idoko, has rewarded the players of the club for doing the State and the club proud by kick starting their league on a very bright note last weekend. Idoko disclosed after the encounter with 3SC in Ibadan that the players would receive what he described as special bonus of N100, 000 for defeating 3SC away in Ibadan. He described the victory as heart warming particularly as it was the first game of the

new season. Lobi happened to be one of the few clubs that recorded away victories last weekend even as FC Ifeany Ubah shocked Giwa FC in Jos, the Plateau State capital while league champions, Enyimba suffered 0-1 defeat in the hands of their hosts Rivers United FC in Port Harcourt. With about three away victories and some home draws, this new season promising to be an exciting one. Enugu Rangers also suffered away defeat in the hands of Kano Pillars.

Heartland were held to a goalless draw by visiting Warri Wolves in a very thrilling encounter at the Dan Anyiam Stadium on Sunday. Meanwhile, Premier league debutant, Mountain of Fire Miracle FC at the weekend shocked Nasarawa FC, the Lagos based team who just gained promotion against all odds ran away from Lafia with victory against their more favoured opponents. It is very interesting to note that four away victories and three draws were recorded.

We’ll bounce back –Uwadiegwu

E

nyimba veteran left-back, Ugwu Uwadiegwu, has assured the club’s teeming fans that the two time African champions will bounce back despite the initial poor run. The league champions suěered a 1-0 defeat to Rivers United on match day 1 of the 2015/2016 Nigeria Premier League, making it three defeats on the trot but Uwadiegwu insists the club will stem the string of defeats in their next game. “We have lost the game in Port Harcourt but it is not the end of our season,” he told EnyimbaFC.net. “In fact, the season is just starting so these games we have lost are teaching us some lessons that I believe we will learn from and start winning matches again.” An Obomate Fredrick free-kick just after the hour mark that curled past the wall on the

edge of the box and past goalkeeper Femi Thomas - who got his ęngers to it - dealt a cruel blow to the People’s Elephant after an impressive opening half, but Uwadiegwu says some games can turn out just that way.

“That’s football. Some games you play well and win, others you play well and lose, just like it happened in Uganda [against Vipers SC]. We could have beaten them but didn’t take our chances in the ęrst half. The same thing happened against Rivers United. “But I believe that we will win our next match. The players are not happy and so too are the technical crew. We want to go out and win our next match, God willing. Our fans our worried right now but this bad form won’t continue. We will show the world again that we are Enyimba, that we can be the winning team again.” The Elephants will host Vipers SC in Port Harcourt in a CAF Champions League preliminary round second leg ęxture. Vipers secured a one nil victory in the ęrst leg in Kampala nearly a fortnight ago.

Cooreman attributes Akwa’s victory to motivation, fitness

M

aurice Cooreman has revealed that his men were able to hold Sunshine Stars in Akure because they were ęt and well motivated. Friday Ubong proęted from goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa moment of carelessness to cancel out Afolabi

Okikiola’s early minute eěort. The Belgian tactician praised his men’s doggedness against a diĜcult Samson Unuanel’s team despite playing a man down. “We played very well, defended very well and the goalkeeper was superb,” Cooreman told Goal.

‘NPFL loss won’t count in Cup tie’

N

asarawa United head coach, Kabir Dogo has said Sunday’s top Ěight match day 1 clash 1-2 loss to newcomers, MFM FC will count for nothing at the Senegalese side, AS Academia Generation Foot. The Solid Miners will be the guests of Senegalese Cup holders in Saturday’s reverse ęxture clash of the preliminary round of CAF Confederation Cup at the Stade Demba Diop in Dakar, Senegal. The ęrst ęxture clash at the Abuja National Stadium on Sunday,

February 14 ended 2-1 in favour of the Nigerian representatives. Dogo said his side

merely experienced their worst day in football against the Lagos outęt not that the newly

promoted side were exceptionally beĴer than his charges on match day. “There is nothing to worry over the loss to MFM as it concerns the weekend return leg clash against the Senegalese side, Generation Foot. “Yesterday (Sunday) was a bad day for us, we played quite well as well as created several chances at goal but at the end of the day we still lost 1-2 to newcomers, MFM. “MFM are good side no doubt about it but they were not exceptional only that they made their chances at goal count positively.

“When you play with 10 men, it’s always very diĜcult but my players were very motivated and the result shows that they are very ęt. “After seeing our player sent oě, we were scared not to get another marching order and we were glad we held on and got a point in Akure.” He said the host’s inability to convert begging chances cost them victory while revealing that the draw would put his men in good shape for their CAF Confederation Cup game against Club Mokanda. “I must confess to you, Sunshine Stars are a very good team but lost many scoring chances and when you do that, you cannot win,” he continued. “Our form no doubt has been superb and that is a good preparation for our CAF Confederation Cup return leg. We will now have a liĴle rest till we play our Congolese opponents on Saturday. “Once again, I salute my players who are very motivated and are giving their 100 Ɩ eěorts,” he concluded. Akwa United secured a crucial 1-0 victory against Vita Club de Mokanda in their CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round, ęrst leg match played at the Stade Municipal de Pointe Noire. Ubong Ekpai’s ęrst half strike handed the Promise Keepers a massive win ahead of the second leg baĴle in Uyo.

I am particularly excited to be part of this new construct designed to foster horizontal growth across the entire regions of the Americas. We now have the board of trustees at the continental leadership level and the board of directors at the country level managing the day-to-day operation of our esteemed

organization at each member country. Upon this premise, I have passionately championed eͿorts that encouraged parallel engagement of our member regions across the entire United States of America. In this new structure, NIDOA USA alone has 7 geographical districts with over 25 active and chattered chapters spanning the many regions of the US. We’re now gradually budding many more chapters in the USA like Orlando and Miami Florida, Denver Colorado, Seattle Washington and Minnesota. My approach has been to encourage a parallel and unrestricted engagement of our many chapters in a way that encourages new membership and initiatives. We have recently reached out to our consular missions in both

Atlanta and New York to partner in extending consular services through passport interventions to our Nigerian communities as a way of alleviating the constraints and often expensive process of passport renewals and so on. I am truly very proud of the progress we are making in that regards, as that also doubles as a means to lure our professional Nigerians into joining our engagement platform. More in the pipelines are eͿorts to establish a Nigerian credit Union in the USA championed by our Houston chapter and the establishment of young adult professional platform currently being developed by the board of directors. Other initiatives such as our alliance with “Citizenship Public Engagement” with the United States Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS), designed to engage the Diaspora communities on immigration oͿerings through town hall meeting is currently gathering traction. We deeply commended the eͿort of our continental chairman, Sam Adewusi who brokered this alliance that will greatly beneÀt the Nigerian Diaspora community in the USA. We recently brokered reduced Áight cost through corporate sponsorship by United Airlines, which oͿered discounted Áights on their Mileage Plus program through NIDO Americas to all Nigerians in the USA. Our USA board of directors is much energized to serve towards advancing the needs of our communities here in the USA. There has been murmuring among members of NIDOA that the last administration under Chief Gabe Okoye which you were part of was said to have misappropriated some funds meant for the organisation. How true is this assertion? This is Áat out false. It is important to recognize that since the establishment of NIDO (Nigerians in Diaspora Organization) through a federal government vision to galvanize and refocus its Diaspora human capital towards nation building, we as a body have grown stronger, more structured and more matured. This is not to underscore growth gaps as an organization, but we are constantly evolving and becoming better. NIDO today is the only global Diaspora body in Nigeria with presence in all the 5 continents of the world. NIDO has produced the best and the brightest in its Àfteen years plus existence. Rather than all the criticism often coming from disgruntled elements in and outside

of NIDO, we are actually beckoning on all well-meaning Nigerians to avail themselves of this giveback platform, and be a productive resource for our motherland. This need cannot be overemphasized and particularly in these challenging times, as the Nigerian economy is critically struggling. You can either be part of the problem or the solution. To your speciÀc question, the organization received a handsome donation from a well-meaning Nigerian, ear-marked for a particular project in response to security issues in Nigeria at the time, which was accordingly disbursed for the same. Disagreements at the time by a few board members as you alluded to, was more on the lines of the reporting method. All that was eventually hashed out by the board of directors and resolutions passed to address or prevent future misunderstandings. There were clearly no misappropriations as insinuated. It seems President Buhari does not recognize NIDOA by appointing any of its members into his cabinet, considering the bulk of appointments made so far. What is your reaction? Let me Àrst underscore an oftenmisleading concept from many that the membership of NIDO Americas or any of the NIDOWORLD entities for that matter attracts governmental favours. This organization was formed with a giveback concept as the founder, former President Olusegun Obasanjo had the vision of creating a uniÀed platform of all Nigerian Professionals in the USA that can be leveraged by our home government in many respect. I remembered being in the launching event of a national organization founded by NIDOA in Atlanta. A Nigerian trained physician in addressing the event audience recalled how cheap his college tuition training as a doctor in Nigeria was, compared to his colleagues here in the USA who spends well over $400,000 in tuition cost. In his speech, reiterated a very compelling reason to give back to his beloved country that put him through such a life changing training at literally no cost comparatively. That frankly re-a΀rms the motivating factor behind the services of men and women of this noble body who gives their invaluable times and eͿorts selÁessly. Make no mistake about it, our burning passion has always been to be a productive resource for our nation. Continued on Page 36

Politics

IGR, poor planning, corruption bane of LG administration – Kappo Elizabeth Kappo is the Executive Secretary of Badagry Local Government in Lagos State who began her political career 26 years ago. As a teenager, she had passion for grassroots. In this interview with BIANCA IBOMA, she expresses concern over the rate at which young people engage in crime and; ways to curb the menace. She also spoke on good governance, grassroots development, women in politics, local government reforms and policies among other issues. Except:

T

ell us how you ventured into politics?

I was in SS1 when my uncle a notable politician asked me to accompany him to a political meeting that later created a youth arm and I was appointed the pioneer secretary of the ward. Also when Sen. Ganiyu Olanrewaju contested the House of Representatives, I was his campaign secretary; a board member in the Local government and was the Vice Chairman of the last administration and now the Executive Secretary. What is your view on Grassroots Government? Basically grassroots government brings governance closer to the people. It could be described as Democratic power vested in a local community. The system is diͿerent from representative system that allows local communities or national memberships to elect representative who makes decision on their behalf. Political processes are practically shifted to the lowest geographic level. It equally has a variety of structures depending on the type they want to run. The idea of grassroots development often conÁict with participatory democracy. It’s an action from the local level to eͿect change locally. How would you describe the structure of local government? Governance at the local level has been a recurring decimal in our political history. Local

government started in the colonial era. Although power was vested in traditional rulers who operated undemocratic system. However, eͿorts were made to develop and democratize the councils and make them responsive to developmental needs. Inadequate planning, poor implementation of policies, poor revenue generation internally, corruption and lack of man power kept local government in the state at its present state. Considering the structures and administrations of local governments, do you think its reforms will be considered? The local government as a tier of government in Nigeria is the most neglected, undemocratized and most cheated of government. An overhaul reform is needed in our local government democracy; i mean a complete transformation that will change the face of grassroots government. There is need to amend the constitutional rights of the local governments. TraditionalA rulers should be involved directly and positively. This is because traditional rulers have ideas that can be adopted. For instance the security challenges we now face in the nooks and crannies across the nation would not be there in the Àrst place, if the local government administration is in proper footings. What are some of the factors hindering eͿective performance of council Bosses? Our local government has not

been able to meet it’s obligations through internal sources. Revenue generation internally is so poor. They depend mostly in statutory allocation from the FG account. Also, harnessing the various resources at their disposal poised to be di΀cult. Administrators’ must appreciate their role as change agent. Various interest group and grassroots constituencies have not been able to reach an understanding of how Local government works and operates. More so, there is stakeholders’ inability to develop action plan that will aid growth of local government. Governor Akinwunmi Ambode recently pledged to review council reforms so as to make grassroots government more responsive, what is your opinion on this? Generally, LG and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in Lagos have performed poorly in the area of internally generated revenue, because they greatly rely on federal allocation. If the governor plans to review it then the state government should provide a functional template that can assess the performance of the councils based on available resources and context of operations. What is your take on women shying away from politics? Women are so matured in taking decision and running aͿairs. They have excelled in business world but politically

had not really penetrated because men had not opened the door for them; no woman has really risen as Governor although in Taraba a woman almost broke the record Mama Taraba (Al-Hassan) but the opportunity did not give her victory. An initiative should be created that will prepare women politically. Women should be granted their 35 per cent in governance. It was debated in Beijing, China. The chance for women should be created. We don’t want to just stay in the kitchen we want to build the nation the way we have built our homes. It is the only way we can contribute to development. They are ready we must prepare them to take up such position. Now that there is economic downturn bothering on poor revenue from oil how, do we sensitize Nigerians especially the youths to go into farming? Agriculture is an important sector towards reviving our economy. I am of the opinion that we develop agric. The development I am talking about is not just to grow crop but educating those who are into agriculture. What I mean is to add some value to the produce, do processing and improve packaging. Badagry has coconut plantation if the government Ànd other ways coconut can be processed it. will generate income compared to what the Individual owners of coconut get. An industry would be created and coconut processing machines and packages that will

Kappo

increase the amount and income of the community due to the reÀned process that would be prepared by the industry. More employment opportunities for our youths who will be gainfully employed thereby reduced the number of unemployed youths. I will seize the opportunity to call on Lagos state government and meaningful individuals to invest in Badagry. When our local resources are harness it will speed up development. If concerted eͿort is made by Nigerians there would be enough farm produce to cover our need. Badagry generate fund from the boarder for FG in return we get some percentage. We equally have a list of revenue generation source which the state has allocated to us. Lagos state government should concentrate on Badagry and developed the area and resources. Twenty years ago there was a coconut processing factory located in Badagry, Topo but maybe it is mismanagement that made the factory pack up I cannot really tell but it should be revived. We lack maintenance culture because if that factory is Àxed it will go a long way to support our growth as a people.

No Nigerian President can relegate us, says NIDO Chair Continued from Page 35

Many of us are truly saturated here in the United States in our diverse professional careers and will certainly love the opportunity to serve our beloved nation in any capacity. It is also why I personally project this organization as a giveback platform. To suggest that our services are predicated on governmental favours will be disrespectful to our sworn commitment and dedication. As a pressure and advocacy group, we often charge our governments to leverage their Diaspora expertise as many countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and India to name a few has greatly beneÀted from same. The Diaspora community clearly received many appointments from the past administration and NIDO Americas has formerly

extended our partnership hand to this administration since coming into power. What I am saying is that very many developments so far witnessed in Nigeria are by-products of the involvement of the Nigeria Diaspora community working in collaboration with our peers at home in many levels of the economy. The point here is that at the end, we are all stakeholders to the indivisibility and growth of Nigeria. It will be counter-intuitive in my opinion for the government to employ the services of expatriates when its Diaspora human capital can fulÀl same. It will be unpatriotic and silly really when they have unfettered access to their Diaspora expertise. This is a no-brainer! In the USA alone, the Nigerian communities are signiÀcant members of corporate America. Therefore, daring our government to vet its perusable

resources should not be an overstatement. Do not forget that the former chairman of NIDOA was nominated as one of the people who took part in the Confab under the last administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan? Glad you brought that up.

Certainly that also validates many eͿorts of the Diaspora personnel in driving our government initiatives. Many NIDO members have been called upon to work in diͿerent capacities to advance the government vision 20/20 in the past and still do. We are very committed to engaging our government positively and have shown great leadership in the past doing that. NIDOA leadership in partnership with the embassy o΀cials in Washington DC last year for example, coordinated the reception of President Buhari. We coordinated the vast Nigerian organizations in the USA to ensure wide representation on the President’s town hall with Nigerians. Our record speaks for itself as we are even more united in our resolve to inÁuence more economic development in Nigeria. We call on our

government to fully leverage their Diaspora expertise across all engagement platforms. Our goal is to ensure that our brain drain can be converted to brain gain for the nation. As you may recall, our hard and long fought Diaspora commission bill got passed by the 7th National assembly and yet to be signed by His Excellency President Buhari. This we hope will Ànally establish a long sought social contract with the government and its Diaspora community. Many of our comrades as well as politicians like Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa poured their heart and soul into the passing of this bill and we are quite grateful to their service to our course. Let me assure you of our renewed commitment to emboldening the Diaspora discourse and steadfast position of facilitating economic and national development for our great country, Nigeria.

Poor training programmes for teachers, insecurity, bane of education –ANCOPSS Gyang Bere, Jos

A

group under the aegis of All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS) has blamed the decline in the level of education in Nigeria to lack of training and retraining of teachers by government and insecurity in the country. This was contained in a communiquĂŠ signed by the National President, Dr. Fatima Abdulrahman and National PRO, Livinus Odiong which was read to Journalists in Jos at the end of National

Executive Council (NEC) meeting of ANCOPSS held at the Nana Country Home Hotel, Jos-Plateau State. The communiquĂŠ staed that the inability of the government at all levels to adopt and implement the 26% annual budgetary provision for education as recommended by the United Nation Educational ScientiĂ€c and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) is a hindrance to the realization of education goals and that the responsibility of government in training and retraining of teachers has reduced. According to the communiquĂŠ, “Government at

all levels should as a matter of policy adopt and implement the United Nation Educational ScientiĂ€c and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO)26% of annual budgetary allocation for the Education sector to enable her perform credibly. “Government should take seriously issues of training and retraining of teachers if education at all levels is to achieve the desire result. Parents should see themselves as role models in the family as their actions and inactions shape the life of the child. “There is need for guidance and counselling in schools. Parents and the school should work to-

gether in meeting the career aspirations of the child and there should be well articulated and enduring educational policy for the positive educational development of the child and the society. “Government at all levels should put in place remedial measures in form of career counselling and family care personnel in schools to rehabilitate and argument parenting deĂ€ciencies in our youths and that education in the 21st century should not only be for acquisition of knowledge, values, skills and attitudes but to liberate the mind to function according to its natureâ€?

dling revenue from oil. He noted that to optimally enhance the operation of FIRS as tax authorities, the Federal Inland Revenue Service and State Internal Revenue Service have outlined areas of collaboration through exchange of information, staě capacity building, joint tax audit and enlightenment among others. He explained that this is a conscious eěort towards bridging the gap between the federal and state governments and increasing eĜciency in tax administration . The Executive Chairman of FIRS who was represented by the Secretary, Joint Tax Board, Mr. Lawal Abubakar said FIRS is making arrangements to automate all its

collection and payment processes in all sectors and on various taxes. According to him,� In this regard therefore, the ęrst phase of this arrangement involves automation of Value Added Tax and Withholding Tax payment and collection processes at the oĜce of the State Accountants General, when payments are to be made to contractors and other beneęciaries on relevant transactions� He further pointed out that FIRS has wriĴen a leĴer seeking to connect the state pay points to FIRS portal to allow seamless collection of taxes adding that the arrangement will be in favour of state governments as 85 percent of the total VAT collections

goes back to the states and local governments at 50 percent and 35 percent respectively. Meanwhile, the acting chairman, Plateau State Internal Revenue Services, Mr. Dashe Arlat Dasogot, who said tax administration in the State was in the past characterized by many problems stated that the state has commenced implementation of various actionable strategies and initiatives. He said the state has also embarked on a massive awareness campaign to sensitize the public on their tax obligations towards the state adding that the State Revenue Service is also reaching out to the informal sectors of the state to harness its IGR.

E

xecutive Chairman of Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) Mr. Babatunde Fowler, has advised that peculiarity of Plateau state in terms of tax revenue potentials and economic activities should be considered as added advantage in revenue generation for the State. Mr. Fowler who gave the advice at the 2016 Plateau State Stakeholders on Taxation and Tax Performance awards in Jos, said both the states and federal government relied largely on the eěorts of various tax authorities more than before due to the dwin-

he National Drug Law E n f o r c e ment Agency (NDLEA) at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, said it apprehended four suspected drug tra΀ckers with 6.822kg of narcotics worth N61 million.

Budget, Planning ministries operate jointly in Nasarawa –Commissioner Godwin Ojoshimite, /D¿D

T

he Commissioner for Budget and Planning in Nasarawa State Hon. Othman Muhammed has disclosed that the state has long been running Ministries of Budget and Planning jointly since the inception of Governor Umaru Tanko Almakura’s administration. The Commissioner, who made the disclosure to newsmen in Laęa, yesterday, was reacting to the directive given on Thursday, by the Minister for Budget and Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma that all states should merge its Ministry of Budget and

Ministry of Planing to gain the desired result. Othman who said that such structure already existed in the state explained that the merging was imperative because of the fact that budgets must be planned in accordance with the data provided by the state. The Commissioner commended Governor Umaru Tanko Al-makura for his foresight in implementing such policy saying it has given the state a lift in terms of budgeting. Othman outlined other achievement of his ministry as cuÄ´ing down excesses in budgeting and discipline amongst its staÄ›.

Sports Update

Gianni Infantino elected FIFA President

G

ianni Infantino has been elected as the President of FIFA for the remainder of the current term of oĜce (until 2019) by the Extraordinary FIFA Congress held in Zurich. He was elected as the ninth FIFA President after the second ballot with 115 of 207 total votes. In line with the FIFA Statutes, the mandate of the new FIFA President started after the conclusion of the Congress. At the beginning of the proceedings, it was conęrmed to the Congress that 207 FIFA member associations were entitled to vote (the member associations of Indonesia and Kuwait could not vote due to their respective suspensions). The candidate Tokyo Sexwale withdrew from the election after his address to the Congress. Earlier in the day, the Extraordinary FIFA Congress approved a set of landmark reforms to FIFA’s governance strucg

ture, including improvements to the governance of global football, a clear separation of commercial and political decisionmaking, greater scrutiny of senior oĜcials, and commitments to women in football and human rights. In a surprise, UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino, the accidental candidate who was only running because his boss Michel Platini was banned from soccer, beat AFC president Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim alKhalifa, the 50-year-old member of the Bahraini royal family, on the second round for FIFA president. U.S. Soccer voted for Prince Aliin Round 1, but 20 of Prince Ali’s 27 votes and Jerome Champagne’s seven votes went to Infantino and put easily him over the hurdle of 104 votes. U.S. Soccer president Sunil Gulati congratulated Infantino’s victory without saying whom U.S. Soccer voted for, but

Gulati was seen huddling with Infantino throughout the break between the two rounds. Sheikh Salman’s camp had expressed optimism it had more than enough votes from an Africa-Asia bloc, but it fell apart, signaling the end of the FIFA bloc system as we know it. It was the ęrst FIFA presidential election that went to the second round since Brazilian Joao Havelange beat Stanley Rousin 1974. Infantino grew up in Swiĵerland ęve miles from BlaĴer’s hometown. Every FIFA president has been European except Havelange with the very European name of JeanMarie Faustin Godefroid de Havelange (his parents were Belgian). The call for a nonEuropean leader was powerful in a game increasingly dominated by a small elite of European clubs, but Sheikh Salman fell short in swaying enough voters to go with him.

Renard’s agent told Oliseh of Nigeria interest –Babangida

E

x-Nigeria Ni i international, Tijjani Babangida, has revealed that it was Herve Renard’s agent who informed Sunday Oliseh his client has been

contacted t t db by th the Ni Nigeria i Football Federation (NFF) in connection with the Eagles coaching post. “They were talking with Renard about him replacing Oliseh and it was his agent who told us,” said Babangida, who was the ex-Eagles coach special assistant. “The agent wondered what is wrong with the NFF, but he assured him Renard won’t be coming to Nigeria.” The former Ajax Amsterdam Ěying winger also gave more graphic details of Oliseh’s frustrations when he was in charge of the Eagles.

“It was always going to end this way because he was disappointed his contract was violated and there were many problems at the CHAN and he was not supported,” he said. “He planned to go and watch an interesting striker (Fanendo) Adi in the United States of America, but they did not approve it, claiming there is not money. “They did not reply his emails and they kept insisting he aĴend the technical commiĴee meeting in Abuja even when he had yet to compile his list of players for the Egypt matches.

Rivers Utd now to fly to league venues

R

ivers United will Ěy to their away games in the Nigeria league and no longer embark on road trips. This followed the successful talks between sponsors of the club, the Rivers State Government and an airline. Explaining the rationale behind the move, Rivers State sports commissioner, Boma Iyaye, said it is in line with the blueprint of making the club the

foremost Nigerian side in the country. “It’s now oĜcial. Rivers United will now travel by air for all away matches to Northern and Western regions of Nigeria (United are based in Port Harcourt, Southern Nigeria),” Iyayi said. “This is courtesy the Rivers State Government as we strive to become a truly professional football club. “It is also a form of motivation for our players in the shape of

reducing fatigue of as a result of long road trips to honour league ęxtures.” The commissioner of sports, while addressing the players, encouraged them not to disappoint Rivers State citizens in their quest to be the foremost football club in Nigeria. United are currently in ninth place in the NPFL standings with three points from two matches in the two-week-old season.

FIFA passes sweeping reforms

F

IFA approved major reforms at a congress yesterday, part of world football’s eěort to end the culture of corruption that has plagued its governing body for years. The measures were adopted by 179 members, while 22 voted against and six abstained at a congress in Zurich that will also elect a replacement to FIFA’s disgraced president Sepp BlaĴer. The reforms were developed since June by a commiĴee led by Francois Carrard, a Swiss lawyer tasked with a similar cleanup eěort at the International Olympic CommiĴee more than a decade ago. Among the most crucial measures are changes in the role of FIFA’s president and its executive commiĴee. The president’s job has been altered to function like a corporate chairman of the board, providing strategic guidance but with less management authority. FIFA’s executive commiĴee, which had become an epicentre of graft, has been re-branded as a FIFA council, and will operate similar to a corporate board of directions. FIFA’s secretary general, previously No 2 to the president, will serve as world football’s CEO. Those measures were designed to contain the authority of FIFA’s top brass in a bid to prevent a repeat of the patronage and waste that prevailed during BlaĴer’s 18-year term as president. The president and council members will also be limited to three consecutive four-year

tterms. Several measures to improve ęnancial transparency at the multibillion dollar organisation were also approved. Revenues will be published, as will compensation for senior oĜcials, while auditing will be more independent and more robust. The number of commissions, seen as bloated and wasteful in the past, has been cut from 26 to 9. There was also a mandate to expand the role of women in global football governance, with at least one woman required on the council of

each national federation. Broadly, the reforms include measures to promote “culture change” at FIFA, as well as more ethical and accountable leadership. There were calls to end political interference and conĚicts of interest in executive decision making, two factors that most agree led FIFA into crisis. Before the vote, a Palestinian representative addressed the congress to lobby against approving the reforms, arguing that a period of crisis was the wrong time to push through a major restructuring.

Kaita shocked by Oliseh’s resignation

F

ormer Ni Nigeria i international, Sani Kaita, is in uĴer shock after he learned that Sunday Oliseh resigned from his position as the Super Eagles head coach. Kaita’s shock over Oliseh’s resignation stems from the fact that Nigeria have just less than a month before their 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games against Egypt on March 25 and 29. The 29-year-old midęelder, who featured at the Fifa 2010 World Cup in South Africa, believes the development is not a good sign for the West African nation ahead of their two games against Egypt. “At this time the resignation (of Oliseh) is not a good sign at all,” said the former Kano Pillars’ man to supersport.com on Friday. “We have just

few weeks to the games against Egypt and having a new coach will make it diĜcult for the team.” However, Kaita wants the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to draft in Shuaibu Amodu to take charge of the Super Eagles. He believes the current technical director of the NFF has the “experience” to salvage the situation. “Honestly they should bring in Shuaibu Amodu to lead the team because he has the experience and I am sure he will link up well with the players,” he said. Kaita also stated that he cannot pass judgment on Oliseh for resigning at this time as “he has his reasons for doing that.” Oliseh had only been in the saddle as Nigeria manager for eight months after replacing Stephen Keshi in July last year.

Sports Update Niger ia’s AFCON hopes in tatters after Oliseh shock exit

N

igeria’s campaign for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations has suěered a massive setback after coach Sunday Oliseh quit on Thursday. Oliseh, who is just eight months into a three-year contract, said he quit after he did not enjoy the support of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), who also breached his contract severally. And this comes just a month to a crunch home game against Egypt in the northern town of Kaduna with the reverse leg two days later in Cairo. He is owed at least four months’ pay and has been unable to tour Europe as proposed to visit some of the country’s top stars ahead of crucial Nations Cup qualięers against seven-time champions Egypt. “We have received Oliseh’s resignation and we will meet and decide on what next,” said a shaken NFF general secretary Mohammed Sanusi, who spoke from Zurich where delegates have gathered for today’s FIFA presidential polls. Last year, Nigeria failed to defend the Nations Cup title they won in 2013 in South Africa after they were upstaged by South Africa and Congo Brazzaville in the qualięers. The three-time African champions are also in danger of missing out on a second straight tournament as they are two points behind Egypt after two rounds of matches with only the overall group winners guaranteed

automatic qualięcation to next year’s competition in Gabon. Former national team oĜcial Ben Alaiya said Oliseh’s resignation has further compromised the country’s qualięcation chances. “It’s a shock. He should not have quit, it was like abandoning the ship in the middle of the sea. It was a big slap to 180 million Nigerians,” he said. “But we must move ahead and look at the options because we have very important games against Egypt next month.” Former Nigeria international Dosu Joseph said the NFF must move quickly to appoint a successor to stay on track for Gabon 2017. “Many of us saw this coming, but we now need to move forward because we have beat Egypt at least at home or else kiss goodbye to the Nations Cup,” he warned. “The NFF must now sit up for the matches against Egypt because it will be a disaster if we failed again to qualify for the Nations Cup.” Former Nigeria coaches Shuabu Amodu and Samson Siasia are the early front runners as caretaker coaches before a substantive coach is named. The experienced Amodu has severally handled the Eagles, qualifying Nigeria to the 2002 and 2014 World Cups, and he is currently the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) technical director. Siasia posted a short stint as Eagles between 2010 and 2011.

Onigbinde okays consortium for Eagles

F

ormer Super Eagles manager, Adegboye Onigbinde has called for consortium of coaches in the interim for the side in the sudden resignation of manager, Sunday Oliseh. Oliseh barely seven months on the saddle as Eagles manager on Thursday tendered his resignation to employer, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) less than a month

to crucial 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) double header against the Pharaohs of Egypt. Onigbinde said though unfortunate the Oliseh’s resignation the football house must move in quickly to cover the vacuum for the sake of Nigerians. “I was really shocked with the news of Oliseh’s resignation but not totally shocked because of the unfortunate trends between the employee and employer in recent weeks may be we were merely waiting for the accident to happen. “The contents of his resignation leĴer are between him and the NFF though the nation’s fate and core interest are at stake. “It’s unfortunate we waited helplessly to see it happens as the hand writing has been clearly on the wall.

NFF installs Siasia, Yusuf, Amuneke for Egypt

N

igeria has re-appointed Samson Siasia as Head Coach of the Senior National Football Team, Super Eagles. He will work with respected tactician Salisu Yusuf, FIFA Under-17 World Cup Ȯwinner Emmanuel Amuneke and Alloy Agu for the upcoming 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualięers against Egypt. The combination was recommended by the NFF Technical and Development CommiĴee following Sunday Oliseh’s resignation on twiĴer in the early hours of Friday. Siasia served as Super Eagles’ Head Coach between December 2010 and October 2011, before his contract was terminated following the team’s failure to qualify for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. Amuneke led the Nigeria U-17 boys to a ęfth FIFA World Cup title in Chile last year and was hailed for his excellent comportment and maturity, as well as the tremendous skills of his players. Salisu Yusuf and Alloy Agu were in the immediate past crew led by Oliseh and will serve as the bridge with the new team as Nigeria gets set for a potentially Ȯexplosive double date with the Pharaohs in March. Siasia and Amuneke are among few ex-Nigeria internationals who boast impressive track record in coaching. Amuneke, who has a UEFA Pro licence, was assistant to Manu Garba when the Nigeria

U-17 squad won a fourth FIFA World Cup title in 2013, and then headed the crew that successfully defended the trophy last year. Siasia steered the Nigeria U-20 team to the African title in 2005 and led

the team to runner-up spot at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in The Netherlands the same year. He also led the U-23 to silver medal in the men’s football tournament of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, and two months ago, led the U-23 to win

the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations in Senegal, in the process qualifying the team to this year’s Olympics. Both men scored as Nigeria achieved an impressive debut at the FIFA World Cup in the USA in 1994.

Nigeria, Brazil confirm date for friendly match

T

he Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Confederacao Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) have conęrmed that their Under-23 squads will play an international friendly match in Brazil on Thursday, March 24. “The CBF is happy to host the champions of Africa, Nigeria Olympic team on the 24th March FIFA date at 7pm at the stadium of Kleber Andrade in the city of Cariacica, Vitoria, Espirito Santo. “The match will serve as preparation for both teams for their participation in the Olympic Games Rio 2016,” the statement from CBF read. NFF’s FIFA Match Agent, Jairo Pachon of Eurodata Sport told theně. com: “The match is sealed. We are happy to be able to swing this one and it will serve as good preparation for the Nigeria Olympic team ahead of Rio 2016.” Both teams were involved in one of the most memorable matches in the history of the men’s football tournament of the Olympics, back in 1996, when the Dream Team

came back from 1-3 down to eliminate Brazil in the semi ęnals. Nigeria beat Argentina 3-2 in the ęnal to claim Africa’s ęrst Ȯever Olympics football gold. Meanwhile, Coach Samson Siasia, has listed a total of 30 players for the international friendly match against Brazil coming up towards the end of next month. The list is a mixture of old faces that Siasia has worked with over the course of the qualifying matches for the All-Africa Games and the Games proper and the qualifying matches for the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations and the championship proper, as well as new faces he intends to take a close look at. Siasia told theně.com on Friday: “For now, I want to assume that I don’t have a team, as every Nigerian player within the age bracket that is good get a chance to ęght for a place in my team to the Olympics. I intend to use friendly games like this to try out as many players as I can, so that as we get closer to the games I will have a mental picture of the play-

ers I will be taking for my ęnal training camp before the Games. “For now, I invited this large number of players because I know not all of them will be able to make it even though we have sent out invitation leĴers to all of them. My major concern now is for them to come with leĴers from their clubs indicating that if they are eventually selected for the Games, their clubs will allow them report to camp when needed.” Siasia added that as a lot of overseas-based players have shown interest in playing for the country at the Olympics, he intends to utilize all FIFA free windows so as to enable him and his assistants assess as many of them as possible. “For now, we are concentrating on those players we have no picture of how they will adapt to our playing paĴern. We intend to invite more of such players as we go ahead. We already know some of the overseas Ȯbased pros we intend to work with, so we will be inviting those known faces as we progress in our build up to the Games.”
