Sunday Oliseh may be counting his days as coach of the Super Eagles on his fingers if feelers emanating from the Glass House are anything to go by.
Oliseh who became the national team coach only last year has been locked in a running battle of wits with perceived enemies within the football organization.
Only a few days ago, Oliseh was heard on air calling his critics insane people.
Oliseh is also believed to be suspecting some people within the football ruling body of engaging in witchcraft manipulation against him.
According to a top source at the Nigerian Football Federation, NFF, “whether we like it or not, Oliseh will go at the end of the day. Keshi didn’t say as much as Oliseh has said so far. We must start to have standards in our system. If Keshi could be asked to go for saying less, what stops Oliseh from going too?”
Stressing that Oliseh was imposed on the NFF President by an influential member of the board, the source said that no indigenous coach has given the NFF as much headache as the present coach.
He recalled that Oliseh accused the NFF of neglecting the CHAN Eagles during camping in Rwanda, forcing him to spend his personal $4000 on their feeding.
Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State has dismissed claims by a senator that Boko Haram militants control half of the local government councils in the state.
, “To me, it is unbelievable that such a statement could have emanated from Senator Baba Kaka Bashir Garbai. I can’t believe he said that because as a Senator, he has access to the Chief of Defence Staff, the Chief of Army Staff, the IGP and even the Presidency and he is not the type that even speaks to the media easily. So this is why I am at a loss.
“I have not been able to get in touch with him yet to get his own side, to hear from him what he actually said. But for now, I suspect he must have been misquoted or if he wasn’t misquoted, he must have spoken based on emotional outburst and not anchored on ground realities,” he said.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC on Monday played host to former Chief of Defense Staff, Air Chief Marshall Alex Badeh.
Badeh's visit to the EFCC is ostensibly to explain his alleged role in the $2.1b arms procurement fund scandal.
Details of his encounter with the anti graft agency's operatives are not known at this time.
Recall that Badeh was at EFCC on Friday but was asked to come back on Monday.
The Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC were at the National Assembly this Monday to protest the 45 per cent hike in electricity tariffs by the National Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC.
Saraki addressed the workers' unions, promising to ensure that corporations do not make profits off Nigerians without delivering commensurate services.
