Popular comedian I Go Dye in a recent post on Instagram compares Nigeria to some women in a relationship. According to him, “Nigeria is like some women in a relationship once they have a good husband, like the president who is ready to transform the country, they will never be patient with him, they will complain and do everything that will make them leave the relationship because they have seen a man putting on white clothes telling them sweet stories and fake promises that will make them smile all day. What they didn’t take from their ex-husband that made them…

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has claimed he would rather “kill” a disrespectful player than lose the respect of an entire dressing room. “From my experience as a footballer, I think this is the right way to manage a changing room,” Conte told Arsenal legend and former Juventus teammate Thierry Henry during a Sky Sports interview. “I think that when I start a season, I speak with my players and I always talk about education and respect. I demand this, but I give this. And if someone does not have a good attitude during the training session, or good behaviour…

Mourinho looked powerless in Manchester United’s 2-1 derby loss to City last Saturday. Weakness is not something associated with him. It was anticipated that in such a high-profile match he would flex his tactical muscles by executing a game plan to avoid defeat. But his side were unable to do even that against their title rivals. This could prove psychologically damaging in 2016-17. The scoreline flattered United and subsequently some serious questions have been asked about what Mourinho was doing with his team selection and formation, particularly in the first half. It’s worth remembering that Mourinho was appointed at Old…

Chris Smalling says Manchester United’s players need to stand up and be counted to avoid an “unacceptable” third successive defeat. Jose Mourinho’s appointment and some marquee signings helped bring a feelgood factor back to Old Trafford after the reign of Louis van Gaal, but a 2-1 home defeat to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City was compounded as Feyenoord eked out a late 1-0 win in Thursday’s Europa League opener. Stand-in captain Smalling admitted “we didn’t play up to our standards” in the Netherlands and that United can ill-afford another loss when they return to Premier League action at Watford on Sunday.…

And, asked to confirm the reports, the Colchoneros coach told a news conference that the contract had indeed been revised, but…

Manchester United’s winning start to the season did not have Jose Mourinho “on the moon” so their underwhelming back-to-back defeats have not overly concerned the recently appointed manager. Fresh from losing 2-1 at home to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, United started their Europa League campaign with a whimper. Uninspired on the attack and unwieldy in possession, Feyenoord eked out a late 1-0 win thanks to Tonny Vilhena’s late strike at the imposing-if-partially-closed De Kuip. Few of United’s eight changes impressed as they failed to win on their European travels for a sixth successive match, compounding Saturday’s Premier League loss that…

Fit-again defender Jerome Boateng and winger Arjen Robben are back in the Bayern Munich squad for Saturday’s home Bundesliga game with Ingolstadt 04. The champions, however, will be without captain Philipp Lahm, Thomas Mueller and David Alaba, all out with a stomach bug. Dutchman Robben has not played competitively since suffering an adductor muscle injury in March. Boateng has recovered from a muscle tear he picked up in Germany’s Euro 2016 semifinal defeat by France in July. Fellow central defender Mats Hummels is also fit after being kicked in the face in the 5-0 victory over Russian club Rostov in…

It is just a matter of time before Sergio Aguero’s goal-scoring ability earns him individual honours, his Manchester City teammate John Stones has predicted. Aguero netted his ninth goal in five games this season following his hat-trick in City’s 4-0 win over Borussia Moenchengladbach in their Champions League Group C opener on Wednesday. The 28-year-old has not featured in the Professional Football Association (PFA) Team of the Year and has never won the PFA Player of the Year award either, something Stones blamed on the Argentine’s low-profile lifestyle. “He’s one of those players who comes in, gets on with his…

Kelechi Iheanacho scored his first goal for Manchester City in the Uefa Champions League on Wednesday as the Citizens beat German club, Borussia Monchengladbach 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium. The 19-year-old did not start the game for City as he was only drafted in as an 83rd minute replacement for Argentinean striker, Kun Sergio Aguero who had netted a fantastic hattrick to put his side 3-0 up before his withdrawal. He did not disappoint his manager, Pep Guardiola, for the faith shown in him as he ensured City won with a flourish, netting a superb goal in the first minute…

For Manchester United it was a second defeat in six days after they lost to rivals Manchester City in the Premier League, and it ended Mourinho’s honeymoon period after he began the season with four straight wins including the Community Shield. United, playing in the Europa League group stage for the first time, never really looked like scoring even after striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was introduced in the second half and they were picked off on the counter in the 79th minute. Nicolai Jorgensen looked offside when he burst clear on the right flank but he crossed low for Trindade to…

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic has defended France midfielder Dimitri Payet after Watford players accused him of showboating last Saturday. Payet set up a goal for Michail Antonio with a ‘rabona’, crossing the ball with his right foot behind his left leg. Watford captain Troy Deeney said that wound his team up and prompted a comeback from 2-0 down to win 4-2, their first Premier League victory of the season. Bilic denied on Friday that it showed a lack of respect. “It doesn’t bother me if someone does a rabona pass and it ends up in a goal,” he…

Oshiomhole had earlier alleged that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo and some Governors in the Niger Delta had hired 8,000 militants to cause violence during the polls.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to return Nigeria to the status attained during the Goodluck Jonathan era and then resign from office.
