Obasi was criminally underused by Nigeria between 2007 to 2012 while some nonsense, old and decrepit players played in his stead. He was by far Nigeria's best winger during that period, and was tearing Bundesliga down in a lethal Hoffenheim attacking triumvirate with Demba Ba and Vedad Ibisevic. He was past his prime by 2014 though due to injury.

Only SiaSia gave him space to play consistently at underaged level which was again rewarded in Olympics 2008.

God will punish those who consistently hold back Super Eagles for their pocket. It is only during this Gernot Rohr era that I see some element of meritocracy returning to Super Eagles which is why I have never added my voice to those who call for his head. He has brought many new players to Eagles and by and large, the best players are picked for each position.

Only a novice football watcher will watch the era of 2002 to 2014 and not conclude it was fraught with massive corruption and parapoism in team selections. Players in their prime never got selected. Those past their prime continued getting selected many years past their peak, while many unknown and rubbish players made squad having obviously paid their way in.

So sad how they monetized national team selections in the past.

I remember when i served in Enugu, a boy working in a popular bar in Trans ekulu where Chairman Chukwu used to drink, revealed how he used Yobo to get stuff from other Eagles players then, making demands on phone, in the open. I doubted it, until i moved closer to one of his relatives and got to know how things were going down, when i probed.

Obasi scored a beautiful goal against Egypt in a nation's cup match like that. So painful injury stalled his progress.

Yea, Rohr seems to be better in selecting players on merit, compared to our previous indegenous coaches.

Amodu was a company man, the epitome of NFF corruption, same as Chukwu, Eguavoen and Keshi. I'm sure SiaSia did his own as well, but he used better players. Eguavoen messed up his only qualifying campaign by losing the first game or two that ultimately resulted in failure.

I have no problem with Shitty, Keira and co actually. Keira just had a rush of blood to the head in 2010. It is players like Yakubu who stayed in SE 3 years past his sell by date, Yobo who stayed 4 years past his sell by date that I had problem with, as well as a plethora of no name and useless players.

The immediate past governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, has filed a suit to stop the Imo State House of Assembly from investigating him over allegations of missing funds.

He filed the suit at the State High Court sitting in Owerri, the state capital.

In his prayers, the former governor sought a perpetual injunction restraining the lawmakers from probing him over the sum of N19.63 billion said to be missing from the Local Government account during his seven-month tenure.

Ihedioha, through an originating summon, also urged the court to grant him a perpetual injunction restraining the Imo State House of Assembly from inviting him and questioning him about the alleged missing fund.

Listed as defendants in the suit are the Imo State House of Assembly, the Speaker, and the Clerk of the House of Assembly.

The former governor filed the suit weeks after the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, announced that the sum of N19.63 billion was missing from the Joint Account Allocation Committee (JAAC) of the 27 Local Governments Areas of the state.

Governor Uzodinma had alleged that the money got missing under the watch of the immediate past administration led by Ihedioha.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo had, however, described the allegation by the governor as mischievous and a deliberate scheme of his administration to loot the resources of the state.

In just 7 months o. grin

He’s also looking for a perpetual injunction, just like Peter Odili got a perpetual injunction from the court stopping EFCC from ever investigating him.

I believe that undoubtedly has to go to Yaya Toure.

Yaya performed consistently over several years, was dominant in midfield and also delivered upfront too.

I believe if The Bald Apari had not signed for City, his Premier League career wouldn't have come to an abrupt end the way it did.

Just read that the covid organics produced in Madagascar have been sent to Nigeria (read it would be subject to clinical trials by NAFDAC b4 it's used).

Several weeks have passed since Madagascar started using it and it seems the covid organics has some effect on the virus but I'm surprised WHO are yet to say anything about it though

Madagascar is still too early in it's infection stage to judge the fatality rate or efficacy of their drug. What they are touting is simply Artemisia Annua which treats symptoms but not the virus itself. I bought some myself as below but I'll be treating it same as ginger, garlic, tumeric, oregano, paracetamol etc - just for symptom management and to clear out mucus if it gets to that stage. Basically it is similar to using Agbo. What's more encouraging is the low death rate in Costa Rica and Senegal who deployed Chloroquine to their citizens to be used at early stage and have extremely low death rate. Chloroquine is shown as having no efficacy in advanced cases where oxygen saturation is already below 94% but many studies are showing very low fatality or hospitalisation rates when deployed early.

Just as important as all of these things seem to be intake of Vitamin D especially in black people who are dying 4 to 1 in UK and doctors are putting it down to lower synthetisation of Vitamin D from the Sun. If your Vitamin D level is up, your immune system should be able to handle the virus, and there are many studies showing recovery rate for lung infections, many other infections and even some cancers are vastly improved in patients with adequate Vitamin D levels. They are now talking of prescribing Vitamin D for black patients which many European countries do during flu season for black people. Most Vitamin D Supplements only contain 10micrograms but after my Doctor Cousin told me they are giving 100 micrograms to all their patients due to the fact they are psychiatric patients and don't go out in the Sun, I upped mine to 50 micrograms daily.
