He calls on Nigerians to remain vigilant and report any suspicious persons to security agents as his administration continues to give the highest-possible priority to eradicating Boko Haram and ensuring greater security of lives and property across the country “Already, the intensified onslaught by the military on terrorists’ strongholds has led to significant seizures of weapons and vehicles, a blockage of their sources of arms and ammunition, and a decimation of their fighting men. President Buhari assures Nigerians of the ability and readiness of the country’s armed forces and security agencies to contain the frantic resort by the terrorists to attacks on soft targets such as crowds and places of worship.”

Fifa postpone 2026 World Cup bidding process

The bidding process for the 2026 World Cup has been postponed, following allegations of corruption in the bids for the 2018 and 2022 tournaments.The decision was due to be made in Kuala Lumpur in May 2017, but that date will now be rescheduled, according to Jérôme Valcke, the Fifa secretary general.
“Due to the situation, I think it’s nonsense to start any bidding process for the time being. It will be postponed,” Valcke said on a visit to Samara, one of the Russian cities that will host the 2018 World Cup. Canada, Mexico and Colombia have confirmed interest in bidding for the 2026 tournament, though the USA are considered favourites, while Greg Dyke, the FA chairman, has reiterated his stance that there will be no England bid while Sepp Blatter is Fifa president. Blatter may leave his post as soon as December 16, the date Fifa have earmarked for an emergency meeting in Zurich to determine his successor. “It was decided to place the administrative process on hold for the 2026 Fifa World Cup bidding due to the current situation,” Fifa said.

Where Do We Go From Here?

NIGERIA IN MY THOUGHTS

I start this piece with a question so simple yet capable of many interpretations; what is CHANGE? To me it is the discovering of NEW ways of doing things and adopting same, outside the OLD method. This is because you CAN’T keep doing a particular thing in the same old way and expect a different result.

Hence, leadership is about CHANGE but if we do not need change, then we need no leaders. By change in leadership here, am referring to both structure and personnel although there can still be structural change without a change of personnel vice-a-vise, but in a situation whereby it is the same set of persons that have over the years continue to struggle to bring about the much needed change, then we can achieve but a little as in the case of Nigeria. Therefore we need both personnel and structural change.

Political parties sing and dance about this much anticipated change but permit me to state it categorically that they have disappointed my expectations, am not saying this because I’m partisan but I advocate for good leadership and it can only be provided by selfless, sacrificial and vibrant leaders because this is what the Nigeria project requires. Please permit me to say this, I actually expected APC to field the likes of; Rochas Okorocha, Babatunde Fashola, Rotimi Chibuike Sunday Amaechi, Tambuwal etc. Show me one institution whose leader is over seventy (70)years of age and I’ll tell you such institution is dead on arrival. Ordinarily isn’t 35years of service or 65years of age whichever comes first the official retirement age in Nigeria? For one to be 70years old and still be in service then one must be a lecturer and a professor in that matter.

Who says we cannot stipulate retirement age for politicians in Nigeria? Since they all would rather die in office than retire voluntarily. Please can somebody tell me who is going to live by the policies put in place by a 70years old and above, governor or president? Is it him or his children of 50years and below? No wonder some of the delegates to the national conference who also voted for most of its resolution had died before the conference was over and some could still pass on within the next 10years now tell me who exactly is going to live by the resolutions of the conference?

It is time the Nigerian child and youths take their rightful place in leadership and make laws that would govern them, and stop living by laws made by their forefathers whom majority are long dead. It beats my imagination when I see the Nigerian youth clapping under the sun and dancing in the rain for politicians especially for those who have long passed their prime without him or her aspiring to take over mantle of leadership little wonder Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babagida rtd made bold to say that Nigerian youths are not ready to take over leadership yet.

Now let me ask the Nigerian youth some questions; the politicians you are jeering for, did any of them perform any miracle outside delivering on few i.e if any, of the duties of his or her office as stipulated in the constitution? Or did he sacrifice his personal salaries to feed the poor on our streets and provide shelter for the homeless? Or did any of them take out of his salary to pay the fees of our numerous school drop outs? They have only given us just a little if at all out of our very own yet we raise our voices to praise and brag about them even to the point of mortgaging our future and precious life for them while they build for themselves and family; hotels, hospitals, companies, private universities and other Empires.

Yesterday, we were told the reason a political office holder is highly paid even more than the university lecturers. They stated that it is because a politician only have to spend four to eight years in office after which he or she has nothing else to take home when the tenure comes to an end. Before our very eyes today we have seen political office holders turn to pensioners; presidents, Governors, speakers of house of reps, senate presidents, even local government chairmen are not left out as they have all made and immediately passed laws making them pensionable with stipulated outrageous sums including cars on yearly basis and yet we have laws. Yet, one of the laws that would benefit Nigeria growing economy such as the PIB is still in the hallowed chamber begging to be passed for many years now. Who is deceiving who? The youths just do not know how well they have aided all this anomalies in Nigeria. I THINK as youths we need to wake up and take our place chasing out all these outdated agents of change and making Nigeria to become what we all desire because nobody else can do it if not the youths. WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Okocha and Oliseh snubbed in top 100 Bundesliga legends list

Bayern Munich defender David Alaba is the only footballer with links to Nigeria named by celebrated German newspaper Bild in its ranking of the Top 100 Players to grace the Bundesliga.

Surprisingly, retired Nigeria internationals Austin Okocha, Sunday Oliseh and Jonathan Akpoborie were not considered for selection, but ex Eintracht Frankfurt hero Tony Yeboah made the final cut.

Though Okocha, Oliseh and Akpoborie were not endorsed by the Berlin - based publication, the trio excelled at Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart.

Austria international David Alaba was ranked in 98th spot behind ex VfB Stuttgart defensive midfielder Sami Khedira, who now turns out for Real Madrid.

The 22 year old has been on the books of Bayern Munich since 2008, and has appeared 113 times in the Bundesliga, scoring 9 goals.

The talented wing back, whose stock is increasing every year, was German champion in 2010, 2013 and 2014.

The top ten is made up entirely of Germans and there are three players who still play in the Bundesliga - Manuel Neuer, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Philipp Lahm - who became world champions last year.

German football icon Franz Beckenbauer followed by Gerd Müller and Lothar Matthaus are the top three players in that order.

A panel of renowned football experts including Ottmar Hitzfeld and Otto Rehhagel determined the players that made the list.
