Sports Tammy Danagogo is optimistic that world football governing body,FIFA will not place a ban on Nigeria.

FIFA last week threatened to ban Nigeria following disputes that have resulted in Chris Giwa assuming office as the president of the Nigeria Football Federation(NFF).

The Zurich based body warned Giwa to vacate office and to stop parading himself as the president of the NFF,adding that they will only recognise those that would be elected on the September 4 elections.

However,Giwa refused to leave the NFF office insisting that there won't be any other election.

Meanwhile the minister believes that FIFA will not ban Nigeria because of its internal problems.

Five Reasons why Danny Welbeck will be a success at Arsenal

One of the surprise transfers of the deadline day,it was somewhat strange seeing Danny Welbeck jump ship and join Arsenal from bitter rivals Manchester United.

The business done by both clubs in 2012 for the transfer of Robin Van Persie,has the same mechanics that saw Welbeck join forces with Arsenal on Monday.

Although they are totally different,but they seem to have connected in resemblance. While Van Persie was a finished product and in his prime when he left Arsenal,Welbeck is still crude,young and is not fully tapped.

Which explained the backlash by United fans why Welbeck was sold to Arsenal,knowing that his best years arguably are still in front of him. Continue

Rivers State Government Approves Over 300 Million Naira to Fight Ebola.

The Rivers State Government has announced that it has released over N 300 million to fight the Ebola virus.
The Governor, Rotimi Amaechi disclosed this on Tuesday when the Country Director of the World Health Organisation in Nigeria, Mr. Rui Vaz, paid him a courtesy call at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
The governor also pledged to work together with WHO to fight the Ebola virus in the state, even as he assured that his administration would do everything to contain the disease.
“Whatever it takes for us to overcome Ebola, I will do it because it costs more if Ebola is on the loose than if it is contained.
“So, we are happy that the World Health Organization is here to assist Rivers State. We are happy that the World Health Organization appreciates the dangers of Ebola to our communities.
“We need to contain Ebola.  If there is no cure, then there should be containment so that more persons don’t contact it. The Rivers State Government is prepared to take all the responsibility.  The citizens are ours,” Amaechi said.

Mikel arrives Super Eagles camp with protective gloves (Ebola) lol...

John Obi Mikel has arrived the camp of the Super Eagles ahead of the 2015 Nations Cup qualifiers against Congo DR and South Africa.

Seven other players alongside the Chelsea midfielder also arrived today to the national team camp in Calabar,as they commence their training sessions for the games.

But it was Mikel who caught the attention,coming into camp with protective gloves,apparently joking about the epidemic Ebola Virus disease in the country.

It is not clear how long Mikel would wear the gloves,possibly a one-off just to lighten the mood in camp.

A total of seventeen players are now in camp,with more expected later today and possibly tomorrow.

Chinedu Ogbuke Obasi is yet to secure clearance from his German club,Schalke 04 to team up with Nigeria.

Meanwhile Stephen Keshi replaced Vincent Enyeama who withdrew yesterday with Elkanemi keeper, David Obiazor.

Ahmed Musa,Ogenyi Onazi, Efe Ambrose,Kenneth Omeruo,Juwon Oshaniwa,Omatsone Aluko and Austin Ejide are the other players who made their entry into camp today.

Ejide is expected to captain the team in the absence of Enyeama as the most senior player in the team.

Ondo: Mimiko’s moves

After dithering  procrastination, Governor Segun Mimiko is set to defect from Labour Party to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. The move will not only alter the political landscape in Ondo State, but also redraw geopolitical permutations in the Southwest.
The news that Governor Segun Mimiko is defecting from Labour Party to the PDP was to many a storm in a tea cup. To some, especially in Abuja, he is more PDP than many PDP governors and showed so when he delivered for the party in the last presidential elections more than half of the party’s governors.
But no matter his efforts in pushing the interests of President Goodluck Jonathan, the jabs from fellow governors remained a discomfort to the Ondo governor.

PDP hits back over Sheriff, Iherijirika; says Australian’s revelations proves APC behind Boko Haram

Nigeria’s ruling party, The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has hit back at the opposition All Progressives Congress, after the APC said recent allegations by a government-appointed Boko Haram negotiator, show that senior PDP members and allies of President Goodluck Jonathan are masterminds of the sect.
At a press conference Tuesday, the APC demanded the immediate trial of a former governor of Borno State, Modu Sheriff, a PDP member; and a former army chief, Azubuike Ihejirika.
Both former officials were named by an Australian negotiator, Stephen Davis, as Boko Haram sponsors.
The chairman of opposition party, Odigie Oyegun, said revelations by Mr. Davis show the federal government had wrongly accused the APC of being behind Boko Haram.
“They have called us all sorts of derogatory names, but failed to provide any shred of evidence to support their claim,” Mr. Oyegun said.
The APC chairman described Mr. Sheriff as a man known to all Nigerians as the founder of Boko Haram, but who has continued to escape justice and is now Mr. Jonathan’s ally. Continue

Test Ebola drug '100% effective'

The only clinical trial data on the experimental Ebola drug ZMapp shows it is 100% effective in monkey studies, even in later stages of the infection.

The researchers, publishing their data in Nature, said it was a "very important step forward".
Yet the limited supplies will not help the 20,000 people predicted to be infected during the outbreak in West Africa.
And two out of seven people given the drug, have later died from the disease.
ZMapp has been dubbed the "secret serum" as it is still in the experimental stages of drug development with, until now, no public data on effectiveness.
Doctors have turned to it as there is no cure for Ebola, which has killed more than 1,500 people since it started in Guinea.

If you believe in the prophecies of the founder of The Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), then you have a reason to worry: Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua has declared that the Boko Haram sect may be making plans to attack another church, a 'big' church in Nigria.

Although Joshua didn't give an exact church or location of attack, he said the attack would fuel more political crises and tension in the country.

He said a lot of people could die from the attack, and urged his followers to be prayerful.

Union Bank Nigeria Drags Dangote's Brother To Court Over N5 Billion Loan

Sani Dangote, younger brother of the richest black man, Aliko Dangote, has been dragged before Justice Okon Abang of a Federal High Court, sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, over his alleged failure to liquidate about N5 billion loan he allegedly got from Union Bank Nigeria Plc.

According to Daily Newswatch, the bank, in two separate suits against Sani and his companies – Dansa Foods Limited and Bulk Pack Services Limited – wants the judge to issue an injunction restraining all commercial banks in Nigeria from allowing Sani and his companies to withdraw funds from their accounts pending the determination of the suits.

Union Bank, in its suits, insisted that in a bid to evade payment of the loan, Sani has been making frantic efforts to deplete the funds in the accounts of his companies, and that investigation had revealed that the defendants had started diverting the funds to Dubai in United Arab Emirates (UAE), Canada and Switzerland.
