Players of Rivers United FC this morning stormed the Rivers State Government House to press home demands for the payment of sign on fees for the 2014/15 football season. It was gathered that these monies were owed by the previous administration, before the merger, and during the days of Sharks and Dolphins FC.

Governor Nyesom Wike addressed the players personally and promised to look into their demands.

The players thanked the Governor and apologized seriously for their actions of this morning..

And how does this your comment relate to this news ?

∆ Dem go don lambast amaechi like die. This is making it look like Wike is a dictator

That is why Nigerian Football league remain in shambles. You cant see this kind of thing in Zambia

They are seriously apologising for their actions? What action? What is wrong in them asking for their salaries to be paid? What a country? You refused to pay people the money they worked for and yet they are not supposed to complain? Do this our politicians know that these workers they are owing also have their families and dependants to cater for? This is wickedness in high places

After labour, to collect salary will be problem. Dis naija govt most stop it dis yr

From protest to prostrating

Mtcheew

one of the olodo players is saying "PAY Us OUR SIN OFF FEES" wike na Jesus ?

I hated Amaechi but Wike is likely the worst thing to have happened to Rivers state.

This is disappointing! I thought our league has gone beyond that stage where players cry for their salaries and allowances to be paid. Why is the almighty Rivers state pulling us behind on our quest of making a global league?
What baffles me is that this clubside is an almagem of two great clubs in the state to make management easier but still so much bottlenecks is hindering its growth.

I hope the government lives up to their word.

This OLD WOMAN, you no wan hear abi? Isn't your paymaster a TYRANT? Buhari's Media Lawyer! Tell your employer to change his ways.

Chai, salary my drop

Please tell us how he is different from the constituted authority in Oyo state whose daughter was also lambasting the LAUTECH students, only for her to be spraying $$$$$$$$$$$ anyhow in London.
Awon omo irankiran gbogbo!

Ajimobi and the failure of constituted authority

Senator Abiola Ajimobi, the burly but tactless governor of Oyo State has been in the news for the wrong reasons. That does not bother him apparently. And ordinarily it should not bother this writer, who not being from Oyo, could be rightly accused of being a meddlesome interloper. The purpose of this piece however is not whether this self-assigned wailing wailer has the locus to interrogate the governor’s stewardship or not. There are many eminently qualified indigenes and residents of Oyo State who are better qualified to undertake that task.
The intention here is simply to extrapolate the isolated case of Mr. Ajimobi’s recent gaffe as a template for discussing leadership failure in Nigeria and most of its constituent parts.
The phrase ‘constituted authority’ was recently foisted on the lexicon of public discourse by the garrulous governor. In fact, thanks to social media and the ubiquity of its eternal imprints, no one can reasonably deny the governor credit for the notorious connotation the phrase now commands. That is surely a remarkable achievement for a governor whose critics say his tenure in office so far has brought nothing more than disrepute to governance and disgrace to the rich heritage of the Oyo people he leads (or misleads, as it were). But as stated earlier, let us leave the full story of Ajimobi’s governance in Oyo for another day and for those better qualified to discharge that responsibility. Suffice for this piece to celebrate his sterling contribution to the vocabulary of public discourse in Nigeria. That inglorious intervention has made the governor popular albeit a butt of jokes in conversations everywhere- in students’ hostels, beer parlours, business boardrooms, corridors of power and conclaves of constituted authorities.
For those who missed the story of ‘constituted authority’ a quick reference to YouTube to view the pathetic video of Mr. Ajimobi’s bellicose interaction with protesting undergraduates of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) may be worth the while. In the clip, you find a governor debasing his otherwise esteemed office by trying too hard to assert himself over students who ironically were enjoying the humour of subtly undressing the arrogance of a magisterial overlord.

So, the players didn't think before taking the action. Were they 'remote controlled' by Amaechi or what?

I see SIN OFF fees

When you have youths who don't want to endure suffering but seeking breakthroughs anyhow, that is what you get- worshiping their oppressors.
