Gov. Godwin Obaseki of Edo and his Abia counterpart,
Okezie Ikpeazu, on Sunday lauded the elevation of the
President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF),
Amaju Pinnick, into the Confederation of African Football
(CAF).
The governors said that Pinnick`s elevation was a great
achievement for Nigeria as a football nation.
Obaseki and Ikpeazu stated this to newsmen on separate
interviews after attending a thanksgiving mass at First
Baptist Church in Warri, Delta to celebrate Pinnick’s
election as CAF executive committee member.
The Edo Governor commended Pinnick on his new
position, noting that as a fellow indigene of defunct
Bendel state, it was necessary to support him and also
explore the new potentials of his membership in CAF.
He said Edo government would take full advantage of
Nigeria’ representation at CAF to develop football in the
state.
On his part, the Abia governor Ikpeazu, said Pinnick’s
election to CAF was a milestone achievement for the
country.
He said “Nigeria is a sport loving country; soccer is a
unifying factor in Nigeria, so Pinnick is occupying a good
position there that can unify Nigeria and take us to a
greater heights in terms of soccer in the world,”.
He added that going by the pedigree of Pinnick’s
milestone in NFF, he would play a critical role to place
Nigeria in the front burner in terms of football
development.

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Posted By
Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...

Judging by how confident the governor of the Cen­tral Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Mr Godwin Emefiele was as he made the announcement, we can only but agree that, all things being equal – like econ­omists the world over always posit – Nigeria will be out of recession latest by the third quarter of this year. Accord­ing to his well-heeled argu­ment, there was nowhere else for the nation’s beleaguered economy to head on account of the abiding positive indica­tors but out of recession. Who indeed would doubt him with inflation trending down­wards, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) improving and foreign exchange going to the real sector as and when needed? What is more! This opti­mism is no less supported by the recent release of the na­tion’s economic position by the National Bureau of Statis­tics (NBS). According to the release, though the nation’s GDP con­tracted by 0.52 per cent in the 1st Quarter of 2017 repre­senting the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction since the first quarter...
