Arsenal's Nigerian youngster Kelechi Nwakali has been loaned out for the new season to Dutch top division club VVV Venlo.

“He will play at VVV Venlo in the new season, that’s the decision of Arsenal,” president of the player’s Nigerian academy Emeka Amajiriaku exclusively informed 90minutesgoal.com today.

VVV were only recently promoted back to the Dutch top league after several years in the lower rungs.

Top Nigeria stars Tijjani Babangida and Ahmed Musa went on to greater things when they started out at modest VVV. Last season, Nwakali, 18, was on loan at another Dutch club MVV Maastricht, who reached the promotion playoffs.

Nwakali himself earlier said this week in Owerri that as many as six Dutch clubs wanted him on loan.

The midfielder is the skipper of Nigeria U20s after he led the country to win the 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup in Chile.

This should be in front page. They have moved him to Enugu this morning

Former title wining coach of Rangers and presently Super Eagles assistant coach Imama Amapakabo is presently being detained by the Nigeria Police Force at the forces headquarters Abuja for allegedly being in possession of a car belonging to Enugu Rangers and other properties several months after he was sacked by Rangers.

This was confirmed to 90minutesgoal.com by Imama who helped Rangers win the NPFL last season after a long wait of 32 years.

A fully armed police team drove from Enugu to Abuja yesterday and picked up Imama on the request of Rangers to recover government properties including an official car still being held by the coach.


He is being charged with “unlawful possession” of properties belonging to the Enugu State Government. Recall that prior before now, Imama had petitioned the organizers of the NPFL which is the League Management Company (LMC) over his payoff from Rangers which has not been redeemed despite having a contract with the Enugu based club.

According to the contract, Enugu Rangers were meant to shell out as much as 52.5 million Naira, being Imama Amapakabo’s salaries for 21 months, should they sack him

Imama Amapakabo was moved to Enugu this morning by the police.

This will greatly affect the former youth international who is involved with the CHAN Eagles who are set to begin preparation ahead of their crunch CHAN qualifying match.

It's no longer a secret that officiating has been the bane of Nigerian football, it appears to have been accepted as a norm that home teams must win in front of their home fans.

While this is a terrible misnomer in our football, the officials themselves aren't helping matters. Referee Damian Akure (and his team of officials) took this to a whole new level when he found himself in the center of arguably the biggest game of Matchday 29 the NPFL game between FC Ifeanyi Ubah vs Enyimba International.

It was his very first game of the season and a game of this magnitude should have set the alarm bells ringing. ( Also note that he failed the pre-season fitness test, only for NRA to tell those that failed the pre-season test to come for the second quarter fitness test) Referee Damian gave those who turned out for the game what to expect when he awarded a foul to Ifeanyi Ubah for a non existent tackle.

Other decisions included incorrectly flagging Mfon Udoh offside while in a promising position down the right hand side. One very egregious decision involved booking Enyimba striker Abdullahi for simulation when he was clearly fouled in the box and could have gotten a penalty.

The worst decision of them all involved allowing Godwin Obaje who was miles offside to score an unfair goal. An FC Ifeanyi Ubah licensed photographer was involved in a bust up with Fatai Dauda the Enyimba Goalkeeper and appeared to strike the stopper in the face. To Dauda's credit, he didn't retaliate.

Yet the referee didn't do anything about the players who surrounded the Enyimba goalie. Referee Damian Akure getting set before kickoff For every substitution there ought to be 30 seconds added on, and Coach Gbenga Ogunbote made 3 subs in the 2nd half, not even counting the number of players involved in simulation and rolling around on the turf.

Yaw Preko made same number of subs in the 2nd half as well, going by that, there should have been at least 3 minutes added on for the substitutions, at least 4 minutes for treatment of injured players, and 3 minutes for the altercation between the photographer and Fatai Dauda.

This writer was aghast when only 2 minutes of added time was indicated, and to add insult to injury, the 2 minutes of added were not exhausted. A total of 59 seconds was played instead of the allotted 2 minutes. This writer has it on good authority that the referee was actually threatening the Enyimba players on the field, telling them "I go give una red card, una no wan find me something Abi?" he even said to a certain FCIU player "go forward, enter their eighteen if dem touch you I go give you penalty".

It is a known fact that referee Damian Akure was lodged at the plush Beverley Hills hotel which is next door to the stadium, curious how he could afford that on a referee's subvention. It is strongly recommended that referee Damian Akure be investigated and suspended for bringing the NRA into disrepute.

Also tight security should be implemented outside the referees changing rooms and nobody should be allowed in or out before a game. FCIU officials were in a closed door meeting with the referee just before the game, perhaps that was the reason why the kickoff was delayed.

In conclusion, this is a quintessential example as to why our League officials are rarely accepted on the continent, and why our teams don't often do well against the backdrop of other African teams.

Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme has been diagnosed with acute leukaemia.
The 31-year-old Nigeria international returned abnormal blood tests during pre-season testing, and further tests revealed he is suffering from leukaemia.
