JOHN MIKEL SETS TO JOIN HIS CHINESE NEW CLUB IN A SUPER DEAL

John Mikel Obi, Nigeria's National Football Player

SUPER Eagles athlete in person of John Mikel Obi looks ready to  join the Chinese Super League joining Tianjin Teda from Chelsea on a free transfer in a £140,000 ($173,432) deal  after arriving in the city and undergoing a medical.

Since the start of the current campaign, Mikel has not featured at all for Chelsea and Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr, has attributed it to his skipper shunning club boss Antonio Conte’s pleas to feature for Nigeria in the Olympic Games last summer. His lack of action has attracted the interested of several European clubs, with Marseille said to be the most keen to acquire Mikel.

Over recent weeks, it appeared that Valencia has signed Mikel after he agreed a four year deal with the club. Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho also signified an interest in signing the player he originally brought to Chelsea.

Keen to attract Mikel to boost the image of their league, Chinese clubside Shanghai Sipg had presented a $212,000 a week deal before Mikel’s agent. However, it appears that the midfielder will now sign for Tianjin Teda.

Mikel, who has failed to make a single appearance for Antonio Conte’s side this season, had a medical in the port city some 130km from Beijing yesterday and the Asian Football Confederation has confirmed the deal. After joining Chelsea in 2006, Mikel, 29, was part of a squad that won a Champions League crown, two Premier League titles and four FA Cups.

Chinese clubs have made several high-profile signings over the last month with Argentine striker Carlos Tevez moving to Shanghai Shenhua for a reported €84m ($87.65m). Less than a week later, Brazilian midfielder Oscar joined local rivals Shanghai SIPG from Chelsea in a deal believed to be worth €60m.

At the end of December, Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent said the player had turned down the chance to leave Real Madrid for an unnamed Chinese club for a transfer fee of €300m ($315.24m). Mikel joins Serbian midfielder Nemanja Gudelj, who moved to Tianjin from Dutch club Ajax yesterday.

Bush Hunter identified as Jerome Adoko has since been arrested by the police for shooting three people including his wife and mother-in-law along with their local pastor after an altercation over a plot of land turned nasty in Benue State.

Mr Adoko from Iwewe-Ichama community in Okpokwu Local Government Area of the state has been arrested by the police for  shooting his wife, Regina, his mother-in-law, Esther Edoga and the clergyman Eze Udoh. Apparently, the pastor died from the injuries he sustained from the gunshot wounds, while the two other victims are still undergoing treatment in hospital.

It is believed that the suspect and his wife had been at loggerheads over the ownership of a parcel of land in the community, while efforts by their relatives to settle the dispute had hit a brick wall. Mr Adoko was said to have claimed that he owned the land while the wife insisted that they jointly raised funds to buy it.

Apparently, both parties had maintained an uneasy silence until last Thursday when Jerome accused his wife of cutting up and cooking an animal he hunted in the bush without his permission. One relative said Jerome cashed in on the Thursday’s altercation to attack his wife over the land, adding that the pastor wanted to make peace when he was hit by stray bullets.

He added: “Jerome and his wife have an issue over a parcel of land and families of both parties have been trying to sort it out. But he insisted that the land belonged to him and that day, he said his wife cut up and cooked an animal without seeking his consent.

“He confronted the wife, which led to exchange of words between them. The mother-in-law, who was on a visit to their house, tried to calm them down but to no avail, so he went into his room and brought out a gun he used for hunting.”

According to the relative the mother-in-law raised the alarm and the pastor and other neighbors came out to stop him. He added that the hunter wanted to shoot his wife but the pastor and the mother-in-law were also hit.

Donald Trump, President Elect The United States

NEWS: Trump Attends Oil Roadshow 

Gathered by Prince Okafor that the President-elect of the United States Mr. Donald Trump will attend a roadshow being arranged by Nigeria to attract investment to the oil and gas sector.

Mr. Ibe Kachikwu, Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum Resources said in a speech on Tuesday in Abuja when he unveiled the goals of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources for 2017. “We are going to be seeking to attract investments and complete all the memorandum of understandings we have in China and India.

“We are looking to do a roadshow to the UK, we are looking to do a road show to the US with President Donald Trump coming in,’’ he said. 

The Minister said Nigeria would exploit the relationship built by President Muhammadu Buhari in taking a road show to the UK and US. Kachikwu equally pledged the readiness of the Federal Government to pass the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) and allocate oil blocks in 2017. “We are going to accelerate Federal Government’s revenues, look into areas where we could have made more money, so as to support the 2017 budget financing. “We are looking to draw on the relationship that the president has built over time. We are going to be conducting oil blocks allocations and marginal flow awards to try and raise money for the government,” The Minister, Kachikwu said.

He assured that Nigeria’s refineries would be revamped to produce at 60 per cent capacity. “We need to start the revamping of the refineries. The president has given us marching orders on that. We still remain committed on our goal of 2018 to reduce importation by 60 per cent and 2019, stop the importation of petroleum products substantially. “Now we are going to continue to focus on downstream issues. Although we have liberalised, there are still some challenges. We are going to see how we work within the liberalisation infrastructure such that we are able to take away the low-hanging difficulties. In a bid to substantially ensure a smooth transformation in the oil industry in 2017, the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, has said that the oil and gas sector will be run with a rocket pace. The minister in his twitter handle, entitled the Nigeria Petroleum Sector 2017 Outlook, said that in 2017, activities will be sped up to achieve set goals. “We are going to run at a rocket pace. 

We have so much to do. First we are going to firm up our policies, be able to gazette all our oil and gas policies and then pass the Petroleum Industrial Bill, PIB.” He also said that the difficulties of 2016 served as a pointer to where the country is headed, adding, “Do not despair, do not lose hope, do not be frightened, do not wonder, rather be energized. “We are going to accelerate Federal Government revenues, look into areas where we could have made more money, (as the Federal Government has been losing low hanging fruits), so as to support the 2017 financing. “We are going to be singing to attract investments and complete all the memorandum of Understandings MoUs, both the one in China, and that of India”. 

He also pointed out that there will be a road show in the United Kingdom, as well as the United States, with President Donald Trump coming in. On gas revolution, the minister said that, “Gas revolution will be key. First, we are going to track gas flare and commercialise it so that no more flare happen in this country. We have set a 2020 date for ourselves even though the international fora at the United Nation had set a 2030 date. We are very aggressive about this, we want to make money from flare,” he said. Mr. Kachikwu also promised that the government will look at the gas infrastructure that are suffering, complete the investment and get gas in every part of the country because it is key to power delivery. The minister said the nation has four times volume of gas than oil, adding that even though oil has contributed immensely to the nation’s growth, gas is the future. 

He explained that gas will provide power, clean energy, and day-to-day burning of fuel at homes. “For so long we have pretended to be an oil producing nation and yes we were; but Nigeria really is a gas nation with a lot of substantial gift of oil.” Speaking on the state of refineries, Kachikwu said, “We need to start the revamping of the refineries. The president has giving us a matching order on that. We still remain committed on our goal of 2018, reduce importation by 60 per cent and 2019 try and exit the importation of petroleum products substantially. “Now, are going to continue to focus on downstream issues, although we have liberalised, there are still some challenges. We are going to see how we work within the liberalisation infrastructure such that we are able to take away the low hanging difficulties. “We are also going to focus on the Niger delta. It’s been too long a lingering issue. We are going to be working with every aspect of the presidency to try and find solution to this.” The minister concluded.

NEWS: "Negative Public Outcry Over Pastor Adeboye’s Resignation Made Buhari Sack FRC Boss". Says Ayo Fayose

Ayo Fayose

It was gathered that The state governor of Ekiti in person of Mr Ayodele Fayose has marked out and explained the sack of the Executive Secretary of the Financial Regulatory Council (FRC) of Nigeria, in person of Mr. Jim Obazee, in connection with the implementation of the ongoing controversial Corporate Governance Code 2016 as an afterthought and cover-up to stem the tide of negative public reactions to the implementation of the controversial law that stripped the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye and others of their positions. In a release issued in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday and signed by the governor’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka. 

In his speech; “When they realised the implication of their action on President Mohammadu Buhari’s 2019 ambition, especially the personality like Pastor Adeboye that’s involved, they quickly sacked an innocent man who must have acted on instruction". Fayose said. 

“Obviously, their attention is more on 2019, not on justice and any love for the sustenance of Christianity in Nigeria. Mind you, they have only suspended the implementation of the regulation, they did not abrogate it. It is obvious that they have an agenda. And if you look at the president’s pattern of life, he is a sectional leader, whose appointments reflect sectionalism and nepotism.” He added.

He said it was funny that a president that is over 70 years will be the one to implement a regulation limiting the age of General Overseer (GO) of Churches to 70 years, asking; “If men of God like Pastor Adeboye, Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, Bishop David Oyedepo, Bishop Mike Okonjoz and others cannot be GO of their church beyond 70 years of age, how do we now justify a man like President Buhari who is over 74 and still willing to be president beyond 2019 that he will be 77?” 

Governor Fayose, who described those defending President Mohammadu Buhari by claiming that the law was made when Dr Goodluck Jonathan was president as hypocrites, asked; “Even if the law was made before President Buhari assumed office, who is to blame for its implementation? Could President Buhari have implemented a law he does not believe in and could the sacked FRC boss that they have now used as the fall-guy have implemented the law without the consent of the President?” 

He questioned the speed at which the President reacted by sacking the FRC boss, asking; “Why was there no such swiftness in his action on Southern Kaduna killings where a race was almost wiped out, with people killed like goats? Why didn’t the President react swiftly to the Senate indictment of the EFCC Acting Chairman, Ibrahim Magu? “Obviously, it was an afterthought, which was aimed at dousing the negative outcry that greeted the action by using the sacked FRC boss as the fall-guy “This has further made it very clear and evident that Buhari is not a leader, he is ruler. He is a religious apologist that believes that he must silence anybody that does not believe in his line of thought either politically or religious wise. “Sadly, all those things that we have forgotten and never thought will happen again in this country are now happening. The country is now badly divided more than ever before. 

“Nigerians have been able to read through President Buhari in this short time to realise that all he is doing now is to destroy this country like he did in 1984, but God will not allow him". The Governor concluded.

NSCDC, NABTEB, And Other Ministries Evicted From Fayose House By Ado Ekiti- Ekiti State Government

Ekiti State Gov, Ayo Fayose. Bellanaija

Ado Ekiti- Ekiti State government under the administration of Gov. Ayo Fayose on Wednesday evicted the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, (NSCDC) Ekiti State command and other Federal ministries and agencies from their various offices. The ministries were evicted from Fayose Housing Estate, located along Afao Ekiti Road in Ado Ekiti, the state capital.

It was gathered that the estate, which housed federal establishments such as NSCDC, Prisons Service, NAFDAC, NOA, NABTEB and others, was built by Fayose during his first term in office as a governor of the state and was named after him. The Public Relations Officer of NSCDC, Ekiti state command in person of Tolu Afolabi confirmed the development to newsmen in Ado Ekiti. According to him, the state government had earlier given a year grace to all the ministries and agencies to look elsewhere for accommodation or buy the property as the state could no longer give out its property free of charge in view of the biting economic situation in the country.
“The period of grace ended on the 31st of December, 2016 after which a letter of eviction was served on the occupants of the estate" The letter said failure to quit the property would result being dragged to a rent tribunal.
With this development, NSCDC officers in the state have been trying to cope with the situation and we are urging well meaning Nigerians to assist the Corps “It should also be noted, however, that not only Civil Defence was evicted by the State Housing Corporation from the property as being peddled in some quarters but all the federal agencies in the estate”, he said.

2017 Prophesy! Prophet Wale Olagunju 52 point Prophesies

NEWS: Prophet Wale Olagunju Prophesy

Prophet Wale Olagunju,
Presiding Bishop, Divine Seed of God Chapel Ministries

The presiding Bishop of Divine Seed of God Chapel Ministries in Ibadan, Oyo state, Prophet Wale Olagunju In a 52-point prophecy for the Year 2017, has released his prophecies for the new year.

According to a report by The Sun, Prophet Olagunju, who accurately predicted President Muhammadu Buhari's victory in the 2015 election, has revealed that the Nigerian president will be dethroned in 2019 election by former vice president, Atiku Abubakar.

The influential cleric also revealed the possibility of the country splitting into five as he claimed to have foreseen,“the map of Nigeria torn into five,” saying, “no amount of peace talk can prevent Nigeria’s disintegration. It is a matter of time.”

He predicts that the Igbo’s desire for Biafra nation has received divine approval.

Below are his prophecies for Nigeria in the year 2017:

1. As revealed by the Almighty God who will never share his glory with mortal man, the present generation of Nigerian leaders in the likes of Obasanjo, Babangida, Gowon, Danjuma, Abdusallam and Buhari will pass away before the emergence of the Messiah that will lead Nigeria to the promise land. The problem in our Nation will be so much that what we are witnessing now will be a child play to what we will see and hear and there will be chaos and distrust all over the nation as a result of which the messiah will emerge.

This messiah, an unknown person, will proffer solutions (to the problems); conduct referendum and will break Nigeria peacefully. As revealed to me further by the creator of the universe, the reign of this messiah will be brief. God of Abraham has concluded in heaven to raise for Himself the young man who will give divine solution and execute God’s programme for Nigeria.

2. There is going to be serious fight between Obasanjo and Buhari as revealed by God Almighty.

3. Notable chieftains of the APC and the PDP who are talking of 2019 without due reference to God will not live to witness that year.

4. There is going to be rowdy session in the National Assembly in the coming year.

5. The present war against Bola Tinubu will continue but many of those fighting him will come back to eat their words.

Jammeh to transfer power like British, Gambian president-elect Adama Say

NEWS: Adama Barrow President Elect Gambia Challenges Yahaya

Adama Barrow, President Elect The Gambia

Adama Barrow President Elect Gambia, also announced the creation of a group of experts to lay the foundations for his new administration.

Gambia's president-elect Adama Barrow in a speech on Monday called on President Yahya Jammeh to step aside, saying that even colonial power Britain was able to hand over power peacefully.

In a Christmas message, Barrow said Gambians should be free of the threat of violence as "we enter a New Year of hope" after Jammeh threatened to cling to power unless the Supreme Court orders him to step down.

Barrow also announced the creation of a group of experts to lay the foundations for his new administration.

Jammeh, who has been in power as the president of Gambia for 22 years, stunned observers by initially accepting his defeat in the December 1 vote by opposition candidate Barrow, but then flip-flopped a week later, rejecting the results and filing a court challenge.

"I should assume office when the term of office of the incumbent expires... I do not want to preside over a country that is not at peace with itself," Barrow said in a statement.

"I am calling on all peace loving Gambians to... work for a peaceful transfer of executive power, for the first time in our history since independence."

Jammeh has stoked international concerns about the future of the tiny west African country, with the UN joining African leaders in calling for him to step down.

"If the colonialists could peacefully hand over executive power... (we) should be able to show a better example to our children," Barrow said.

"To ensure that the country realizes its full potential when I assume office, I have already commissioned the establishment of a think tank" to prepare a transition plan.

Under Jammeh's long rule, The Gambia has remained greatly poor but enjoyed relative stability -- though rights groups and media watchdogs accuses him of cultivating a climate of fear and clamping down on dissent.

Yahya Jammeh the president of Gambia has in his speech accused the West African regional bloc ECOWAS of declaring war after demanding that he stand down following his defeat at the ballot box.

Regional leaders in the government warned last month that the 15-member ECOWAS would "take all necessary action to enforce the results" of the December 1 poll.

Jammeh retorted in a New Year's speech on Saturday night that the ECOWAS the concluded summit decision was "totally illegal" as it violated the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of its member states.

"It is in effect a declaration of war and an insult to our constitution. It is therefore absolutely unacceptable," Jammeh said.
