AFCON 2013: Victor Moses the star attraction at the final as Chelsea star comes of age

0 0
Read Time:4 Minute, 12 Second

When the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations commenced last month, three young starlets were expected to shine in South Africa.

Younes Belhanda, star of Montpellier's improbable Ligue 1 title win in 2012, and Porto's Christian Atsu failed to seize the moment and truly emerge. But Victor Moses finds himself on the doorsteps to immortality as 170 million Nigerians turn to him to seal glory.

The tournament thus far has been a microcosm of Moses' career. Early promise created scintillating anticipation across Nigeria, as a nation heralded the twinkle-toed forward, who had been inducted into the international scene as the figurehead of Stephen Keshi’s revolution.

Then, reality set in as stodgy, stubborn defences, and the pragmatism of international football prevented the Lagos-born attacker from stealing the show for the Super Eagles.

A subdued opening to the Cup, a tournament that struggled to spark early on, threatened to dampen the goodwill that surrounded Keshi’s troops, including his most-prized asset. Eventually, the sublime talent and supreme ability shone through, and Moses is on the cusp of greatness with the west African powerhouse.

The breakthrough came against Ethiopia, when he was the catalyst in a famous victory; the difference between progression and elimination.

Struggling to find a breakthrough, and labouring to a 0-0 draw, Moses employed two of the qualities that made him so coveted in his early days. His magnificent close control and searing pace were too much for the besieged defence to contend with.

NIGERIA'S JOURNEY TO THE FINAL
Group Stages

v Zambia
v Ethiopia
Quarter Final
v Cote d'Ivoire
Semi Final
v Mali
D 1-1
D 1-1
W 2-0

W 2-1

W 4-1

As Nigeria upped the ante, their secret weapon surged to the fore. Twice Moses was too direct, too intense, for his inexperienced opposition, twice the Ethiopians were forced into fouls inside their penalty area, and twice the Chelsea man stepped up to the spot and dispatched the kick with an aplomb usually associated with men 10 years his senior.

‘Moses leads to the Promised Land’ – the headline was written even before the final whistle.

Whilst this game demonstrated his ability to terrify and to bewilder, the subsequent contests were evidence of a subtler side to his game, the mature qualities of the 22-year-old.

Few spoke of Nigeria’s superstars in the build up to the side’s clash with Cote d’Ivoire in the quarter-final. It was the tournament favourites, the Golden Generation, who dominated the previews, while Moses merely received a line or two; a menace to Ethiopia, sure, but likely to be squeezed out by the composure and experience of the Elephants.

He was once again influential – the Ivorians struggled to deal with his direct running and ferocious dribbling. Yaya Toure’s first-half shoulder-barge demonstrated the discomfort the youngster caused. While Emmanuel Emenike and Sunday Mba stole the show, Moses was a constant thorn in the opponents' side, persistently prompting and provoking with his ambition and his ability.

Unlikely progression was celebrated across the nation, as Keshi’s youthful outfit grew in stature and confidence.

The semi-final against Mali presented similar magnitude and equivalent pressure, the like of which would make lesser figures crumble and desist. No-one in the Nigerian camp could have been ignorant of the immense challenge that lay ahead – but few would have ignored the significance of the occasion either.

The battle was another watershed for the inexperienced side. This was not victory snatched from the jaws of failure, nor was it the unlikely upset of a lethargic, complacent superpower. It was a demolition, a rout, 3-0 up at half-time, 4-1 at full-time, a true coming-of-age for Keshi’s men.

And Moses was at the heart of it.

His deft wing-play, delicious footwork, and delectable cross produced Nigeria’s first goal, his endeavour affording left back Elderson with an unmissable opportunity to head them into the lead. Moses was also the architect for the side’s second goal, his inventive running and visionary passing forging an opening for his strikers to profit.

Regardless of the result in the final, this tournament, and Moses’s performances in the latter stages, have catapulted the Chelsea man into the continental spotlight. His performances in the knockout rounds, against west African heavyweights, have finally underlined a talent that has threatened to emerge for years.

In the beginning of January, Moses departed Stamford Bridge as a bright prospect, a prodigal hope for west Africa’s fallen giants, he returns a man; a composed and established individual, capable of bewitching the most composed of defences, and of drawing blood from the tightest of back lines.

Victory, however, may well propel Moses into the upper echelon of Africa’s pantheon of Greats.

Read Time:1 Minute, 32 Second

Senate President, David Mark, was the surprise guest at the Super Eagles last training session at the Soccer City in Soweto, South Africa, ostensibly to assure the team that the people and government of Nigeria were solidly behind the team in their quest to win the Africa Cup of Nations for the third time.

In the delegation of the Senate President, which stood in for President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan because of current diplomatic forays in Europe were  Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State and the Minister of State (Foreign Affairs) Prof. Viola Onwuliri, the Minister of Police Affairs, Navy Capt. Caleb Olubolade and the Minister of State (Works), Ambassador Bashir Yuguda, Nigerian High Commissioner to South Africa, Ambassador S.S Yusuf, Senator Abdul Ningi and several top government functionaries.

The team was led to the Eagles training session by Sports Minister, Mallam Bolaji Abdulahi and NFF President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari.

Speaking at the occasion, Senator Mark, said the Nigerian government and people were thrilled by the outing of the team so far but like ‘Oliver Twist are asking for more. “Yes, the job has been well done, but like we say in local parlance, the snake is dead and it’s time to cut it’s head”, he admonished the team, adding that he was sure that the team will win the trophy today but cautioned against complacency.

Responding on behalf of Head Coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, team skipper, Joseph  Yobo, assured the government delegation that the team will not let the nation down having come this far. He thanked President Jonathan and the Senate President for always standing behind the team and assured that there is no negotiation in the team’s determination to winning its third Nations Cup trophy.

C E N T E N A R Y: The way Nigerians are, by Lugard

0 0
Read Time:7 Minute, 0 Second

He insulted your great-grandfather, great-grandmother, great-grandaunt and a few grand parents – he did mine too.  Or did he merely say what he saw of and thought about them?  Ponder that!

He was a soldier of fortune.  That makes him what you would call a bad guy.
Now, when a bad guy puts you down with insults, you wonder what moral license he has to do that.  So, what do you do to a soldier of fortune who thinks so lowly of your grannies in their own country?

Banish him?  Wage war against him? Talking about war, he mounted a campaign and conquered the territory of your grannies – which you now inhabit.

Unfortunately, he is dead – as dead as Julius Caesar.

His name, Lord Fredrick Daltry Lugard!

This bad guy got married to one Victoria, described as beautiful; and went on to amalgamate the Southern and Northern protectorates in 1914, giving birth to the nation called Nigeria.  But all these do not matter.

It is how he described Nigerians that concerns us here.

Writing in the book, DUAL MANDATE, on Page 70, some 12years after the amalgamation (1926), Lugard took your grannies, my grannies, to the cleaners.  The following is how he described them:

“In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewelry.

His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals’ placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the state he has reached. Through the ages the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some  tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural.  He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realise its responsibility….  He will work hard with a less incentive than most races.  He has the courage of the fighting animal – an instinct rather than a moral virtue….  In brief, the virtues and defects of this race-type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy….  Perhaps the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his ability to visualize the future”.
This was what Lugard said of your fore-fathers, my fore-fathers.

In the book, THE FATE OF AFRICA: From the Hopes of Freedom to the heart of Despair (A history of Fifty Years of Independence), Martin Meredith, writes that “In northern Nigeria, Frederick Lugard set out to rule 10 million people with a staff of nine European administrators and a regiment of the West African Frontier Force consisting of 3,000 African troops under the command of European officers. By the late 1930s, following the amalgamation of northern and southern Nigeria into one territory in 1914, the number of colonial administrators for a population of 20 million people was still less than 400”.

In proportional terms, what the above revelation tells us is that for Northern Nigeria, Lugard took charge at the rate of one administrator for some 1, 100,000 (one million, one hundred thousand people).  So when he says “Nigerians will work hard with a less incentive than most races”, he knew what he was talking about. Examining Lugard’s description of the Nigerian within the context of what has gone down in 100 years since amalgamation, he may have actually been describing some leaders who would take charge of the country some five decades later.

Consider Lugard’s analogy, honestly.
Are Nigerian leaders not excitable?  On a general scale, did Nigerian leaders, since 1964/’65, not lack self control, discipline, and foresight, which led to the 30month war and the consequences of its outcome? Yes, the five majors who executed the January 1966 coup may have been “naturally courageous”, but if they thought the leaders of the First Republic were “full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity”, how best can leaders of today be described?  Be the judge of that!

 

Their “thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment”, and they suffer “little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past”, Nigerian leaders have continued to do the same thing the same way while expecting a different outcome. Heads of government, five decades after Lugard’s caustic assessment, started developing minds “far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic” and the best example of this can be found in the insane acquisition of wealth on an incremental basis – because whereas Nigerians had always thought the incumbent would be the worst ever, they are always shocked beyond belief when the successor commences his unique expedition in looting.

Lugard continues:  “He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business” but he “loves the display of power, but fails to realise its responsibility”.  Perhaps, no set of challenges best captures this assessment of Lugard than the fact that apart from the well-monitored, well-guided and well-guarded June 12 presidential election of 1993 (some 20years ago), no election in Nigeria’s history has been adjudged free and therefore, not fair; the management of the economy, inspite of the huge mineral resources, particularly petro-dollars from crude oil sales, the economy and the infrastructure needed to drive same, are disgracefully in shambles.

“In brief, the virtues and defects of this race-type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy….  Perhaps the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his ability to visualize the future”.

The visualization of the future which Nigerian leaders had engaged in the last two decades had only gone further to prove the point: Lack of foresight.  First was the phrase, “Everything For All By 2000” (Education, Housing, Health et al).   Year 2000 came and has gone just like that, but there was nothing for all.  Then came the 202020 idea, a dream that envisions Nigeria becoming one of the 20 most advanced economies in the world by 2020, just some seven years away.

The illogicality of this 202020 logic is that with the present construct of leadership and governance, even if other countries of the world arrest their development, Nigeria would not inch near the best 20 advanced economies of the world.  With corruption fueled by greed of the leadership cadre in the country, the compass for the 202020 voyage is already broken.

Away from Lugard’s insults, one thing which he said and which ought to have been capitalized on by Nigerian leaders is the fact that the Nigerian “will work hard with a less incentive than most races”.

For a people whose needs are very modest, can’t Nigerians leaders just rise above greed, pettiness and myopia and meet the very modest and basic needs of the people?
Perhaps, that is what the centenary celebrations should seek to address; and that is what Nigerians expect, looking forward.

But is anybody still angry that Lugard insulted our grand-parents?  Maybe, the soldier of fortune should have embargoed his assessment for Nigerian leaders post 1965.

NIGERIA: Pornographic material sellers arrested in Lagos

0 0
Read Time:1 Minute, 58 Second

Four distributors of pornographic materials were arrested at Cele Bus Stop on Oshodi-Apapa Expressway on Tuesday by the taskforce after the police raided the area.

The Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit has begun clampdown on distributors and sellers of pornographic materials across Lagos, Southwest Nigeria.

Those arrested will be arraigned before the Special Offences Court at the taskforce yard and prosecuted for selling obscene materials. The sellers of the materials arrested are Yinka Dada, 25 years; Udoh Nne, 29 years; Sylvester Obodoe, 18 years and Poopola Bamidele, 18 years.

The culprits admitted that they knew hawking pornographic materials is prohibited in any part of the state. Obodoe said he knew the act was outlawed in the state but resorted to hawking pornographic materials to eke out a living. He pleaded for mercy and promised not to violate the law again.

Taskforce Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman, said there had been complaints by the residents of the resurgence of pornographic materials on the streets of Lagos. He reiterated that the government has banned the selling or distribution of such materials as the act has a negative influence on children.

“We got complaints from the residents that pornographic materials were sold in some parts of the state. We had cleared the materials off the streets of Lagos before but the traders are back to business again. We have to arrest them and to deal with the situtation. We are going to charge those arrested to court to serve as deterrent to others,” he said.

According to him, displaying pornographic materials on the streets where youngsters could see them has negative influence on the children. “Whenever you see pornographic materials being displayed, you always see children viewing or looking at them. It influences them negatively. We have a culture in Yoruba land which we must abide with,” he stated.

Sulaiman added that there is a law against distribution of pornographic materials in the state, which the taskforce must enforce. “We are not infringing on their rights to sell, but they are infringing on the rights of these children by exposing such obscene materials to them,” he added. He warned others still hawking pornographic materials to desist from doing so because government would go after them and prosecute them according to the laws of the state.

AFCON 2013 How Eagles should play – Finidi George

0 0
Read Time:2 Minute, 52 Second

Finidi George is one of the heroes of the revolution Clemens Westerhof launched in Nigerian football, a tremendous effort that saw Nigeria rank the 5th best football country in the world. It was a feat many doubt if it can ever be achieved again in this millennium. We called Finidi’s house in Spain and asked him what he thought of the two teams, advice to the Eagles and what it feels like playing in a cup final of this nature. He said the following:

“I’m excited about the performance of Stephen Keshi and his team. Sometimes, it is good to enter a tournament as underdogs. It reduces the pressure on you. We have a good team and we should be able to win. I’m particularly hoping that we win so that our authorities can begin to respect indigenous coaches. Our people easily fall for European coaches. And most times they hire the ones who are not better than our coaches.

“The only difference is the skin and that’s what they respect. I’m not condemning foreign coaches but we appear to generally have complex and we go for any white man in the name of foreign coach. What Keshi is doing now is good. Even if he is no longer there in Nigeria, his success can open the door for other indigenous coaches who should be inspired by the success he has achieved so far and begin to work hard. When you give somebody a national team coaching job, give him about four to five years to perform. If at the end of this period it is clear that he is not performing, you can then disengage him. But it is not so for our people. They sack under one year.

“We’ll not develop that way. I want Keshi to win so that some people can shut up and respect indigenous coaches and encourage them to succeed. We should learn from our mistakes and move on. On the match against Burkina Faso, we will be playing against a team that can run for 90 minutes and they are not tired. They are physically strong, very strong players. I think that what we can do is to pass the ball around. Let the ball run and let Burkina players chase the ball. We must not go into duels with them because of their physical nature. Let the ball do the running. We pass, look for space and attack it. We should try to score and lead well just like we did against Mali. We need to play the way we played our last two matches. If we do, we will win the cup.

“The atmosphere is always electric on cup final days. We didn’t enter the competition as favourites and we marched on to the final where some people now feel we are favourites. We should handle the pressure well and remember that we went in as underdogs. We should not, therefore, be carried away. You play in a cup final to win. No second chance. You must do more than playing. You fight as a team too. The fighting spirit must be there. You must fight on till the referee’s last whistle. I think that we can win the cup and that will make not only our day but also our year.”

Afcon 2013: Moses may not likely To Start Against Stallions

A Nigeria team official in South Africa Ben Alaiya confirmed that Moses is ready for the game, although he may or may not start because there replacement in place for the Chelsea player.

“I can say 100% that Moses will play the final. He was sharp and quick in training yesterday (Saturday),”

“He may not start, but he could still come in. He shouldn’t be ruled out completely, but in case he does not make it, we have capable replacements.

“Ikechukwu Uche was our leading scorer in the qualifiers and he could have a chance to prove himself as he has been mostly on the bench.

“We also have Ahmed Musa, who has also not been starting, and Brown Ideye.”

AFCON 2013: The Cup is ours, Westerhof boasts

0 0
Read Time:2 Minute, 6 Second

Clemens Westerhof, the Dutch coach who won the Nations Cup for Nigeria in 1994, Qualified Nigeria for their first ever World Cup finals in USA ’94 and the man who made Nigeria the best football country in Africa before the plunge started when he left, has spoken on the final with Burkina Faso today.

“I’ll send my regards to Keshi and tell him how happy and excited I am that he is in the final of Africa Cup of Nations. When they appointed him I told Nigerians to support him. As a player, Keshi had leadership abilities. And when I was leaving Nigeria, I told him to get ready to take over.

He said, coach I have seen all the problems you have been facing and I’m not sure I can do it. I told him that he had to because he was the boss, the leader of the players.

He said, coach you are the super boss and you know how to get things done. I told him that he had equally learnt well and should be able to lead Nigeria well. He was in Togo and Mali and now a man. I’m happy about what is happening today. And now the cup is coming to Nigeria, I tell you. It is coming, 100 per cent.

Keshi, Amokachi and the man who played in Portugal (Sylvanus Okpala) all played for big clubs and should know how to handle big occasions. They have a good team.

Victor Moses is good, excellent player. They will play against a team that has hard workers. Burkina Faso players work very hard. They have players who work and work and are not tired of working.

But if you compare the technical abilities of the two sides, Nigeria is better. Nigeria has better players but Burkina Faso has harder workers. Therefore, Nigeria must score first. They must score, say 2-0 and the game is over. That is what they must do. I am sure Keshi knows what to do. Nigeria is the most important football country in Africa and the country must prove it. I’m happy this is happening. Send my regards to Nigerians and tell them the cup is ours.”

At Tunisia ’94, he repeatedly told the media “the cup is us”. He meant ‘ours’.

He said the same thing Friday evening but this time the word was right.  Westerhof spoke from his base in Arhnem, Holland.

26 year-old girl who had 26 abortions tells her sex stories

0 0
Read Time:4 Minute, 40 Second

I am 26 years old. I simply got into sex out of ignorance like millions of young people today. My addiction placed me as the highest abortionist in the world at age of 26 and now, I have a sad story to tell.
Until I found myself in a total mess, I never really had any Idea what premarital sex was all about. I never knew it was so useless and killing. Before I got into it, I use to think it was some fun and I dreamt of it more often than not. I wished with all my heart to have a boyfriend whom we would explore it together, little did I know that I was being nasty to myself.

Because of things I see on TV and magazine, I thought having sex was so much fun, I fantasized about it each time I felt lonely. Only if I had known that everything I see in movies and soap operas were just acting and make belief; only if I had known that there is nothing in sex after all, the only thing in it is self destruction; I think my life wouldn’t be this miserable.

It’s a pity i really had to learn the hard way and I really wish I had never been born, I wish I had not come out into this deceitful world where nobody cares about young people, all the so called adults do is how they would play on the intelligence of young people in a bid to exploit and use them to satisfy their insatiable sexual passion. I really feel bad about this wicked world.

My plight started when I was sixteen, then I was still a virgin and in secondary school, I was ignorant of many things but because I see it every day on the TV and internet. More so, a couple of so called Anti AIDS people visited us in school a couple of times for lectures, but all they did was introduce sex to us even more because they really had nothing but condoms to show.

Fine, they told us about AIDS, but at the same time, they also told us about condoms, they never really said anything real about sex, they said we could contact AIDS not through sex, but unprotected sex, which means there was nothing wrong with sex as long as you could use condoms, but all of that I now know very well are lies, and I wonder why men and women would enjoy telling teenagers deadly lies like that.

Even though I can’t blame those people totally for my plight because they weren’t really the ones that said I should go into sex, I still never forgive them for encouraging me and other young people like me into sex with their preaching of protected sex or condom. Even though I wanted to see what sex was really like and I fantasized about it, some were within me, I was still very scared of what may happen to me afterwards if l tried it, and it was that fear that actually kept me away from it until I was sixteen.

By the time I was sixteen, my fantasy had gotten enough boost to express itself with reliance to said to myself one day, “free yourself baby girl, there is nothing terrible in sex, can’t you see everyone is doing it, by the way, you can always use condoms nothing will happen”. So, I finally decided to let go of my fears and embrace in totality my silly fantasies, and that was how I took the very first step into this miserable life of illicit sex. I had absolutely no idea of what I was going into.

I finally agreed to date this guy who had been disturbing me for more than a year, his name was Andrew. Andrew was five years older than me. Both of us began enjoying sex, – we did it every seconds, every minute; – I became addicted that I do not love doing it with condom anymore. Within the period, I had 14 abortions for Andrew, and not only that, I cheated on him in several occasions, I felt doing it with other guys will give me better sensation but all were the same.

My school teacher got me and at the end of the day I had 6 abortions for him. And worst among was my sexual affairs with my close relations, which resulted to 5 abortions. Then I felt I was at the top of the world. I will never forgive my friends who introduced me into partying and sleeping with old men with potbelly and rough skin only in the name of sex.

Right now, all those men have gone, and then shadow of my past sexual life still follows me around. All this pills and tablets I took are now telling on my blood stream. At times I felt like committing suicide each time I remember what the doctor told me, “Tessy, I am sorry, your womb is automatically damaged on account of the several abortion you had”, “I’m sorry, you will never conceive again in your life, but just thank God, you don’t have HIV or AIDS”.

I therefore, advise every young girl reading this piece today, to over look every fantasy towards sex. Sex is good but it has time. And that is in marriage. Keep yourself away from men. Make friends with those who mean good for your future.

ZIMBABWE: Two people killed in a ghastly motor accident

0 0
Read Time:2 Minute, 33 Second

 TWO people believed to be professional hunters, who were travelling to Plumtree died while another is battling for life in hospital after their Toyota Hilux overturned numerous times along Plumtree Road between Mbokodo Abattoir and Traveller’s Inn yesterday.

The two who died are said to have succumbed to head injuries. The survivor is said to have suffered serious injuries on his head, arms and legs.

Bulawayo Central District Police Chief Superintendent Leslie Maninge, who was at the scene of the accident, confirmed the death of the two hunters, and said their names would not be revealed because their next of kin were yet to be informed.

"It’s sad that we have lost lives again on the road through an accident that could have been prevented. We pray that the sole survivor of this accident will pull through. We cannot reveal the hospital he was taken to because if you interview him the relatives and friends of the deceased will put two and two together.

"We believe that they were hunters because they were in possession of guns which are synonymous with hunters. We have since secured the guns to prevent chances of them being stolen," said Chief Superintendent Maninge.

According to witnesses, the cause of the accident was a Toyota Granvia which was travelling in the same direction with the Toyota Hilux. The driver of the Toyota Granvia that was ahead of the Toyota Hilux is said to have suddenly stopped in the road without giving a warning to the Toyota Hilux which was behind.

In an effort to avoid hitting the Toyota Granvia the driver of the Toyota Hilux is said to have veered to the opposite lane but attempted to hastily return to his lane to avoid a head-on collision after realising that there was an oncoming vehicle.

The sudden change of direction caused the Toyota Hilux to lose balance and spin several times. The rolling of the vehicle violently threw the driver out of the car and dislodged the loading box where two passengers were sitting.

The loading box is said to have been hurled into the air together with the passengers. The loading box fell into a ditch by the side of the road, one of the passengers hit the tarmac head first and the other fell just by the side of the road.

It is suspected that the two passengers are the ones who are deceased but Chief Superintendent Maninge said it was premature to determine.

"The car threw these people violently and they were scattered all over the place so we cannot tell you who was the driver and who were the passengers yet. We are yet to interview the person who survived, only he can tell," he said.

On realising that he had caused a fatal accident the driver of the Toyota Granvia which had Botswana number plates drove away from the scene of the accident at high speed.

Chief Superintendent Maninge was confident that they would catch him.
