My gratitude and appreciation to
@atiku
for his N10m donation to the Special Invictus Eagles. Where others stood silent, you acted. Thanks and God bless you Sir.

It's official . I love
@NGSuperEagles
. Why you may ask? Not because they bashed Libya but because , according to a very reliable source, raised N6.5m towards the Special Eagles going for the Amputee World Cup in Mexico . God bless each and every one of them.
Dear Gernot,
Playing a statuesque Mikel Obi at 10 in
@NGSuperEagles
, is an exercise in futility. He lacks both the pace and mobility.
Because he wears the number 10 jerseysdoesn't make him a 10.
Please cease and desist.
Thank you.
In Nigeria , if you steal a N100 loaf of bread, you run the risk of getting lynched.
However, if you misappropriate millions of dollars of public funds , you simply hire a gaggle of SAN's to defend you and become a hero on social media.
Mourinho's sack should serve as a harsh lesson to us all. Living off or basking in past glory , without improving oneself in the present , is a recipe for future failure.
I'm afraid of my wife . She organized a surprise birthday dinner for me yesterday . Even though I thought I was a sharp guy, I didn't have a clue!
Never underestimate the power of a woman!!
As good as Odion Ighalo's hatrick was, my Man of the Match was Alex Iwobi. His crelativity and probing forward passes, were integral to a cohesive

attacking display in the 2nd half.
There's absolutely no sense in declaring a 72 hour curfew, without security forces to ENFORCE IT. The law abiding citizenry are imprisoned in their homes, while hoodlums roam freely all over the place.
As a Man Utd fan, watching Man City and Liverpool players strain every sinew, running themselves into ground for their clubs , on successive nights, makes me want to weep. Weep for the indolent prima donnas who masquerade as Utd players.
We don't have earthquakes, volcanoes , tornados or hurricanes in Nigeria . The only natural disaster God has afflicted us with is dunces and morons in High Office.
Thanks and God bless you All for your lovely birthday wishes and prayers. I honestly won't be able to respond to all of them individually as it would keep me up all night! But I'm indeed very grateful.
I'll say it again to avoid any form of confusion.
Anybody who tries to subvert the democratic will of the people e.g ballot box stealers, deserve anything they get.
I fully accept Gernot Rohr is under NO obligation to develop the NPFL. But still can't fathom why a player who scored 18 goals in 20 games in the NPFL, is dropped in favour of foreign based bench warmers.
I'd rather Man City win the PL than Liverpool. Why you may ask? Less noise for one, as there are no genuine City fans in Nigeria. They're all disgruntled ex Arsenal and Chelsea supporters .
Yep. It was only Cardiff, Huddersfield, Bournemouth and Newcastle. I hear the Mourinho fan boys say....
But you know what? 12 points from 4 games is 12 points from 4 games.
Thank you Ole.
For those screaming injustice. The same PSG player who gave away the penalty tonight, should have been sent off in the 1st half of the 1st leg. But ended up scoring the opening goal at Old Trafford.
What goes around, comes around.

Dear Governor of Bayelsa State; Samson Siasia an illustrious Son of your State , is in a terrible predicament. His Mum has been kidnapped for over TWO months and he says you're yet to reach out to him. Please Sir, do so NOW . He needs and deserves ALL the help he can get.
It breaks my heart, that Manchester United, a club I've supported for over 50 years, is now a figure of fun and derision. All down to the toxic combination of monumentally greedy owners, grossly incompetent Board and a clueless manager.
The Special Eagles beat El Salvador 1nil, to win their first match at Amputee World Cup in Mexico.

Well done Invictus Eagles. We are proud of you.

Man Utd fans can't catch a break with managers. We've gone from an inept neophyte Moyes , to the unrepentantly antiquated LVG , to the supremely narcissistic Mourinho and have ended up with a delusional simpleton in OGS.
I thought it was only military juntas or authoritarian regimes that set security forces on it's citizenry. Certainly not in a supposedly viable democracy.
No civilised government has ANY RIGHT to shoot peeaceful protesters.
None at all.

I hope and pray whoever wins the Presidential elections GENUINELY has the best interests of Nigerians at heart, regardless of political affiliation.
At the end of the day, that's all that matters.
I love Real Madrid. They don't mess about. A manager fumbles, he get's sacked. No long story. No nonsense gibberish about trophies won in a previous life. It's either perform or bugger off. Period.
Manchester United finished 3rd despite being out of the top 4 since September! I wonder where all the 5th place mockers are now?
All I hear is the deafning sound of silence on Twitter.
Sounds good!
I am so proud to be Nigerian today.
@realDonaldTrump
's utterly contemptible assertions about corruption in the US voting process, beggars belief.
May God bless Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, faced with a similar situation, reacted with great dignity, decency and honour.
The best 45 minutes of football I've seen
@NGSuperEagles
play in ages. A quick , aggressive and youthful front 4 , supported by a midfielder arriving late in the box. The defence has been solid too. Impressive.
Sweden should do the rest of the footballing world a favour and beat England today . The English media are slowly but surely working themselves up into a frenzy. Civilization as we know it, WILL end if England win the World Cup.
By this time next week
@realDonaldTrump
will have lost his bid first re-election by a landslide.
He'll also suffer the ignominy, of potentially being there WORST President in American history.
For twenty years the amiable ex US Marine ,blew our collective minds on Nigerian radio. With a unique blend of his gift of the gab and the best of music, across all genres.
RIP Dan Foster.
I'm really scared to make this confession but I must. As someone who ALWAYS complains about them , I feel compelled to.
EKDC has given us electricity for 24 hours and counting.
Maybe the person who switches the power off has gone on leave?
The
@NGSuperEagles
is a major brand in world football. Some players would pay for the opportunity to don the national jersey. Some would play for free. Not saying players shouldn't be paid their due but they should stop these nonsensical protests during tournaments.
Back to back trophies for Mikel Arteta. He's turning into a real Closer. I'll take him over Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, at Manchester United, every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I appreciate the makers of Peak Milk, reaching out to me. To find out what went wrong and rectify the issue. It's gratifying to note that consumer concerns are taken very seriously. Others should learn from this approach.
You cannot convince me that oyibo people don't do juju/jazz/means.
Otherwise, how on earth did Phil Jones manage to get a new contract at Manchester United?
Mind boggling stuff. Truly baffling.
Dear Jose,
Being a Great Manager is not about self indulgent ranting over past glories. But about days like today, where you set your team up perfectly. Please let your players express themselves. They have the quality. Very well done.
Listening too Morning Digest with
@jimidisu
and his excellent guest.
I totally agree with Kayode Mogaji, I wish the Vice Presidential candidates were running for President. It's really not about age but intellectual capacity.
God punish all those who are trying to stoke up ethnic tension between Igbo and Yoruba brethren.
It's a malicious and futile exercise , doomed to fail.
40 years ago, I left these Gates .
You taught me the best , so the World would know I came from Thee.
Thanks for making me the Man I am and a Noble Nigerian.
