Nigeria versus Kenya (140 Characters Dillema)

UNBELIEVABLE.........‘Somebody tell Kenya’ or ‘Somebody tell Nigeria’. The match between the Harambee stars of Kenya and the Super eagles of Nigeria turned into a twifight on twitter prior to kickoff. The battle purportedly started after a picture was posted on twitter, suggesting a shabby treatment of the Kenyan squad in the hands of Nigerian football officials. The battle which begun with just some few followers went on into its hundreds and thousands with hash tags #somebodytellkenya and #somebodytellnigeria. This issue was reported to have gained a worldwide trend when twitter followers from parts of Europe, America, and Asia added few more comments.
In recent times, twitter has been an avenue for players, fanatics, even officials to express views and opinions. As a result, we’ve had both pre- match and post- match twitter wars, commonly referred to as twifight. With the ongoing debate on the role of social media in sports reportage and its effect on credibility, one may wonder if such words as ‘twifight’ will ever make it into the English dictionary. However, the social media have succeeded in bringing sports to their beloved fans amidst the looming questions of credibility. For sure, the Harambee stars had their training sessions on the pitch of the Calabar state university, yet there was no fuss over that. Made their way in and around the state on a transit bus, now that’s the fuss. According to the Kenyans, the last time the Super Eagles touched down in Nairobi they had a coach, and thinks the Football governing body must have treated them inconsequentially.
According to Wikipedia, a Coach is a type of bus used for conveying passengers on excursions and on longer distance intercity bus service between cities- or even between countries. I have seen the NFF made provisions for such on numerous occasions when distance is of the essence. The underlying issues of the pre- match twitter war prior to March 23RD, 2013 must have been overhyped as a result of too many idle talks. Calabar is a home of tourism and I believe the Kenyans had the best hotel in the state for accommodation; meanwhile there was no fuss over that.
Can somebody tell these tweeps the football match was played but not won? It ended one goal apiece, with the super eagles securing a dying minute goal. The return leg match will now be played on Wednesday June 5TH and not Saturday June 9TH, at Moi Kasarani. The Super Eagles leaves for Nairobi on June 1ST, and should depart June 6TH, for the confederations cup slated for Brazil June 15TH. Nothing is for sure as for another return leg match battle on twitter. One thing is for sure Kenyans and Nigerians are allies not enemies, friends not foes. Somebody tell Nigerians the Kenyans are hard nut to crack on their home soil. Somebody tell Kenyans the battle is far from over.

Scrapping Of NECO A Great Setback For The Country – NECO Workers, Others

School palava again ..................The workers of the National Examination Council, on Thursday, appealed to the Federal Government not to scrap the examination body, as workers were reported to be wondering what their fate will be if the government eventually implements the plan.
Reports on Wednesday said the Federal Government had decided to implement the recommendations of the Oronsaye-Panel that listed NECO among 38 federal agencies that would be scrapped or merged with others. The Federal Government had not confirmed or denied the planned action though, but there was palpable tension in NECO on Thursday.
A senior official, who pleaded anonymity because he was not permitted to speak to the press, told Vanguard there was no wisdom behind the attempt to scrap NECO.
“Let’s look at it this way: Britain is not up to half the size of Nigeria and it has about eight examination bodies. How then can Nigeria have only examination body?
“Secondly, why lump us with the West African Examination Council? WAEC does not belong to Nigeria, so what does the country stand to gain by handing over structures of NECO to WAEC?
“Thirdly, how possible is it for WAEC, or any examination body for that matter, to organise one SSCE in November and organise another one two months later, when they have not released the result of the one conducted in November?.
“Again, we should not be in a hurry to forget when Nigerian candidates suffered untold hardship in the hands of WAEC, which led to the birth of NECO.

National Theatre Will Not Be Converted To Hotel – FG

Chai..national theartre turning to hotel place....................The purported plans by the Federal Government to turn the National Theatre to a five-star hotel has been debunked as false. Minister of Tourism, Culture and National Orientation, Mr. Edem Duke, made this known yesterday following public outcry over a letter that was misinterpreted to mean the FG had concluded plans to turn the national monument into a hotel.
The minister, in his explanation said the letters sent to agencies and parastatals which have offices at the edifice were meant to inform them about the decision to implement the National Theatre Master Plan, which was originally designed to include a hotel.

Messi was replaced at half-time at the Parc des Princes after holding his right hamstring and he will undergo further tests tomorrow to determine the extent of the problem, Barca announced on their website.
While Barca wait on news about Messi, they know they will definitely be without Mascherano for the second leg against PSG as well as a number of Primera Division matches after he was ruled out with a knee injury.
The former Liverpool player was stretchered off in the 84th minute of Tuesday night's game to be replaced by Marc Bartra.
A Barca statement read: "As reported by the medical team at the end of the game, the Azulgrana number 16 suffered a torn ligament in his right knee after a collision with Jordi Alba.

I’m Next Governor Of Ekiti State – Fayose

Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose  has vowed to return to the State Government House come 2014. Fayose said, “There is no agenda in 2014, I am the next governor of Ekiti State”.
Noting a correlation of events surrounding his removal from office by the State House of Assembly on October 15, 2006, his successor, Mr. Segun Oni’s sack by a court of appeal ruling on October 15, 2010 and the swearing-in of incumbent Dr. Kayode Fayemi on October 16, 2010, Fayose stated, “So the issues are very clear. The historic importance are very clear, my exit marks the end of every government in Ekiti State,” he said.
Fayose said automatically, Fayemi would leave office on October 15, 2014 and a new government by him would commence on October 16, 2014, “exactly eight years, after I left office”.
The ex-governor said, “Apart from that, I am working. People love me and people want me. I am endearing myself more to them.  I don’t like to make too much noise. May God help all of us.”
On the reconciliatory meetings going on in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Fayose said it was a welcome development as “it shows that PDP is moving forward.”

He added, “We should all come together and do more, if we do more, we will get more. PDP will take over power in the South-West.
“Forever, there will be internal problems, it will never end, that is the hallmark of politics, that is why we call it politics, it is a game of interest and  intrigues.”
Fayose said PDP as a large party should expect a lot of intrigues and interest but expressed the hope hope that the party would emerge stronger.
He said, “When you see a  party fighting, and not ready to decamp,  you should be afraid of them, because when they come together, it is a crisis  for the opponents they are fighting.
“We should forget about the crisis, crisis is normal and we should expect more. That does not take away that they are in PDP and want PDP to win.”

Mentally Deranged Daughter Beats Parents to Death in Delta State.

It was a case of domestic disagreement gone sour, Thursday, in Oleh, headquarters of Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State.
A 32 -year-old mentally deranged woman,simply identified as Elo Elili,  sent her father, Warrant Officer Jonah Elili (rtd) and his wife, aged 75 and  65 respectively, to their early grave by hitting them severally with a pestle thus causing grief and sorrow in the family of two boys and five girls .
The remains of the couple were said to have been discovered  early Thursday by a neighbour who came knocking on their door to buy from their petty shop.
According to sources, the woman who was eager to make a purchase, had peeped into the house after knocking effortlessly without any response and raised the alarm on seeing the husband and wife lying in the pool of their blood.
Reliable sources in the area disclosed that the last they knew or heard about the family was when the retired soldier came out to drag her mentally deranged daughter who ran outside unclad (ostensibly because of her insanity) back into the house and locked her up.

However in her statement of defense at the Oleh Police Station where she was arrested, Elo, who is believed to have a twin sister who is also affected with insanity and has since walked away from the community without any trace, said; “My parents hate me, locked me up in a room where they first hit me before I retaliated with a pestle, I saw blood and that is all I know.”
The Divisional Police Officer in charge of Oleh Division, CSP Lawrence Ogoegbulem, confirmed the incident, saying  signal had been sent to the appropriate authorities  and the case will be transferred immediately.

Man pours hot water on 13-year-old housemaid

Some people are very very wicked in this world.............A 13-year-old girl, Precious Edu, has accused the brother-in law of her employer of pouring hot water on her. Edu, who said she was denied the opportunity of attending school after she was brought to work with Esther Amunde and her brother-in-law, Papa, in Calabar, Cross River State, said Papa poured the water on her after accusing her of splashing water on him. She said after the hot water left some burns on her neck, shoulder and chest, she was left to wallow in pains for two days until neighbours took her to the hospital for medical attention. Narrating her ordeal to PUNCH Metro on Saturday on her sick bed, Edu, who is currently being treated at the Calabar General Hospital, said she was brought to Ekorinim area of the state from Obudu in the northern part of the state to work as housemaid on the agreement that she would continue her secondary education. But the situation changed as she was allegedly denied schooling by Amunde, who insisted that Edu must not be distracted from taking care of her little son. Edu said, “Sometime in 2012, one woman, Amaman appealed to my mother to release me as a housemaid to her sister, Esther Amunde, residing in Calabar because she needed somebody to stay with her. “When my mother accepted, it was with the understanding that I would continue my schooling. I initially stayed with Amunde’s mother in Obudu for three months before Amunde came during Obudu new yam festival in August 2012 to take me to Calabar.” Edu said on getting to Calabar, she worked full time as housemaid until September when she expected that she would resume school with other children. She said she reminded Amunde to register her in a school in Ekorinim, but she turned down the request, saying her work was to take care of her son.” Edu said, “Amunde refused to register me in school insisting that my duty in her house was to take care of her (Amunde) son. “I was attending Girls Secondary School in my village and I was in JS-1. Even when I was with her mother (Amunde) briefly before coming to Calabar, she allowed me to go to school. But my boss said because of her son, I cannot attend school.” Edu alleged that in the course of carrying out her duties, she was maltreated and abused by Papa. She alleged that it was Papa that poured the hot water on her after a slight misunderstanding. She said, “In the morning of March 9, I unplugged a kettle and was turning the water in it into a bucket when Papa said the water splashed on him. He soon brought a smaller bowl, dipped it into the bucket of hot water and poured it on me. “When I told my boss about the incident, she neither reacted nor did anything to the burn. It was after my skin had had started peeling because of the burn that Amunde gave me two tablets of Panadol to use. “However, when I went to fetch water from the borehole five days later, some neighbours saw my peeling skin and screamed. One of them took me to the general hospital.” At the hospital, a nurse, who identified herself as Alice, said a child rights activist, Mr. James Ibor, was called and he, in turn, alerted the police. Ibor said, “We have made written requests to the Cross River State Commissioner of Police to effect the arrest of Amunde and Papa to face the law because what they have done amounts to felony.” The activist said what they did by taking Udu from her mother to serve as housemaid was human trafficking. He said Udu would thereafter be taken to an orphanage where she would eventually be taken back to her parents after the wound had healed. Efforts to get Amunde and Papa to speak on the issue proved abortive. When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. John Umoh, said he was yet to be briefed of the incident
