Ohanaeze Ndigbo Distances self from Allegged call

 The attention of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has been drawn to one of the most alarming, embarrassing and unnerving news making the rounds to the effect that Ohanaeze has called on President TINUBU to deploy soldiers to all the corners of the south east of Nigeria.

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo urges the general public to  disregard the unguarded and unreflective statement credited to Mr. Ikechukwu  Isiguzoro. The Tribune Online quoted Isiguzoro, urging President Bola Ahmed TINUBU  to deploy soldiers to every corner of the Southeast. The statement added that the second Biafra War has begun: In the words of Isiguzoro:" We are telling TINUBU that the second Biafra War has begun and he should deploy soldiers to all the nooks and crannies of the Southeast".

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide led by one of the most experienced illustrious Igbo Patriot, Chief Engr.Dr. Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu,CFR can never contemplate the subjugation of the people of the South East to a  military siege through the deployment of soldiers to all the nooks and crannies of the Southeast.

Second, Ohanaeze Ndigbo also debunks the news that the second Biafra War has begun in the South East. We wish to inform the World, especially our business partners, that there is no war in the South East of Nigeria. And that the phantom Biafran war rests in the figment of the imaginations of the purveyors of such news. The South East, comprising, Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and I'm states,is calm with a conductive ambience for people to go about their daily businesses.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo has repeatedly urged the media to always distinguish between the grains and the chaff or apply the Paul and Barnabas theory,in reporting issues affecting the Igbo. We have imformed that the Igbo all over the world have an emotional attachment to the unbrella organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo that holds them together. Some of these mercenaries belittle the very purpose for which the Ohanaeze was inaugurated by eminent Igbo leaders, most of whom are now deceased.

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo and indeed the eminent sons and daughters of Igbo land have pleaded with such mercenaries to desist from lowering the hallowed image of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to their levels. To the average human, it is strange that somebody would wake up in his room and begin to propagate views that at variance with the Igbo position, using the name of Ohanaeze.

This group has been reminded to no avail that Ohanaeze represents the Igbo history, emotions, collective consciousness and solidarity that should not be dragged to the mud.

This year,they are undergoes in their group as they are the worst placed team in Group B. Canada are 7th, Australia 10th, the Republic of Ireland 22nd, and Nigeria are 40th. Coat Randy Waldrum and his ladies would look to cause an upset and make a mark.

Steph Catley has Stood tall as Captain in Sam Kerr's Injury

 Steph Catley has Stood tall as Captain in Sam Kerr's Injury enforced absence to deliver the Matilda's a 1-0 victory over Irland in their Women's World Cup opener. Australia's campaign suffered a hammer blow when Sam Kerr was ruled out of Thursday's nightsn game and the subsequent game against Nigeria with a calf injury suffered in Wednesday's final training session.

According to reports from Australia's football,th t Chelsea striker will be assessed araft the Matilda's second group B game against Nigeria in Brisbane on July 27. The vice captain Catley wore the armband and stepped up in the 52nd minute to take a penalty after Hayley Raso was brought down, coolly dispatching the winning spot kick into the top corner to send stadium Australia in raptures.

Mary Fowler has replaced Sam Kerr in Australia's starting lineup against Ireland and was the only change to the team that beat France 1-0 in Melbourne in the final warm up. Caitlin Food led Australia's attack in Sam Kerr's absence. Coach Tony Gustavsson opted for Alanna Kennedy to pair with Clare Hunt in the center of defense instead of veteran Clare Polkinghorne. 

As expected, Ireland parked the bus, playing five at the back and giving the Australia's a green wall of players to get through. For more than 45 minute,it worked. The Matildas probed early without reward,struggling to break down the Irish and taking some nervous looking loose touches.

Katrina Gorry was everywhere, controlling the game from midfield,while Raso frantic energy and pace kept Ireland on their toes and she had a fiery battle with Irish skipper Katie McCabe.

The $70,000 monthly salary of Super Eagles head coach,Jose has become a huge burden on the finances of Nigeria Football Federation

 The monthly salary of Super Eagles head coach named Jose Peseiro has become a big burden on the finances of the Nigeria Football Federation which chieftains of the Federation are battling to resolve, according to report. It was reliably gathered that the Federation was just waiting for the Super Eagles to end their Africa Cup of Nation's qualifiers on September 4 against Sao Tome and Principe before dealing with the issue  of Peseiro huge salary.

Part of the likely measures will be to convince the Portuguese to accept a pay cut or take a walk to allow the Federation look for another coach that his own salary will be less. According to the top NFF brass, Coach Jose Peseiro contract is laden with too many concession. The Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro was seeded so much rights in the contract.

Jose Peseiro's $70,000 a month salary is not realistic, and this is putting a big burden on the lean purse of the football Federation. Among the other Africans nations, Jose Peseiro is about the highest paid coach, even Senegal don't pay that much to their coach according to the report from NFF officials. Super Eagles last Nation's Cup qualifying match is on the 4th of September against Sao Tome and Principe and by his contract that's the end.

The truth is that NFF can not continue to pay Jose Peseiro $70,000 monthly salaries. We are going to site down with whoever we want to hire and then forward it to the Federal Government. Super Eagles of Nigeria will start their  World Cup qualifications in November,by then the NFF would have opened a fresh contract talk with the coach and will also involve the Nigerian Government in the recruitment process.

Whether these 22 countries are accepted will depend on the standards agreed upon by their current members. The Brics Head of Business Council, Stavros Nicolaou, has confirmed that a host of nation's have officially been invited.

Arsenal have confirmed that attacker named Reiss Nelson has signed a new Long-term contract with the club. The Englishman briefly became a free agent after his previous contract expired at the end of June, but he has now committed his future to the Gunners until the summer of 2027.

Reiss Nelson has snubbed reported interest from the likes of AC Milan and Brighton and Hove Albion to continue at Arsenal,whom he has represented since the age of eight. 

Reiss Nelson said "I'm kind of lost for words. I've been here since I was eight, Im 23 now. It's been a hell of a journey and I'm just so happy. My family are Arsenal supporters, so that makes it even happier.  I can't wait to get started for the new season.

It's great that Nelson has committed his future to us he knows this club so well,he grew up here and we look forward to enjoying many more good moments with him.

Marco Asensio is now a officially a PSG player

 Marco Asensio has now become officially a PSG player. The French club and the player have made public the signing, which was completed a fortnight ago in Paris. It was necessary to wait until 30th June,2023 the date on which his contract with Real Madrid was due to expire,who has given the go-ahead to a deal that was already closed by Luis Campos and Nasser Al Khelaifi.

The Asturian coach likes  Marco Asensio,who played important role for him in the last World Cup in Qatar.   Marco Asensio thus closes a seven season spell at Real Madrid and begins a new one in Paris. In the French capital,he is looking for more minutes and a greater role in the team,as well as a better salary. The  Spaniard goes from the four million he earned at Real Madrid to a net figure of around seven million.

In a deal closed by Jorge Mendes,who has been in charge of his affairs for the last year,he signs until 2026 with the hope of continuing to add to his CV. Marco Asensio left Real Madrid after winning 17 titles and making a total of 286 appearances, he has scored about 61 goals and assisting 28.

He also showed a tremendous punch, although that was not enough for him to become an indisputable player in the eleven.It is precisely this lack of confidence to be a regular in the eleven that has made him take the step of leaving the club, which presented him with a renewal offer that slightly improve his conditions. After much contemplation, Marco said no. He left after playing 51 games last season and scoring   about 12 goals.

Marcos decision was not an easy one. Real ,he has always said, was the club of his life, the one he dreamed of since he was a child when one day his mother told Florentino Perez that her son would play for Real Madrid. The prophecy came true and Marco cried at his presentation in June 2016.
