'I will be king of Nigeria if I win the FA Cup' - Watford striker Odion Ighalo
Super
Eagles of Nigeria and Watford FC of England striker Odion Ighalo has
bragged that he will be dubbed 'king of Nigeria' if he wins the F.A Cup.
Watford
alongside Everton, Man U, and Crystal Palace are in the semi- finals of
the English F.A Cup with Watford's game to be played on Sunday, and Ighalo says winning the F.A cup will be an illustrious end to the season after rejecting a £10m move to China last year.
'I chose my dream first before money,”
“Though
I am not rich, I am blessed,” Ighalo, a devout Christian, says. “I know
in the future I can make more money if I do well so I keep cool. I want
to prove myself.'' Ighalo told The Telegraph UK.
“I
believe in God and I prayed when I faced that situation. I am happy that
I turned it down and it’s really helped me grow as a person. Yes, it
was big money. A lot of money. But I want to keep going in my career.
This is a dream come true so to leave the Premier League and go to China
was not the right thing.
“And I know I can
earn good money here if I prove myself. Maybe other offers will come,
maybe with even more money but I have four more years of contract here
after this season and I am happy. I’m improving. When I joined Watford I
thought they had what it takes to get promoted to the Premier League.
That’s why I joined. I wanted that opportunity.”
“If I win the FA Cup then I will be going back like a king! King of Nigeria!,”
“The fans want it and we want it.
“This
is a big competition here in England. Now we are safe in the Premier
League and although we want to do better this semi-final is a very big
thing. It’s a chance for people to have a look at us and understand how
we have done.
“Not every team in the Premier
League can win it but they can win the FA Cup. No-one gave Watford a
chance of being where we are today but we are there now and it’s
possible for us to win and go to the final.”
He
added: “As a footballer it is all the more special because it is played
at Wembley, a great stadium, the great stadium of English football and
one that I have not played in before. So that means a lot.
“The
fans are happy also because they can say they will have a team in the
Premier League next season and they have this semi-final.
“If
we play the way we can play we will be able to give them a final to
look forward to as well. It would be a dream come true.”
“I
watched the finals – I remember big teams like Manchester United and
Chelsea playing at Wembley so it means a lot to me to have the chance to
get to a final,” Ighalo says. “And I’ve never played in a cup final
before, not at any level, not even as a boy, never.”

Saraki releases statement, denies plans to disrupt his ongoing trial at CCT
Read the press statement below...
The attention of the Media Office of the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki has been drawn to a press statement released by a group known as the Citizen United For Peace and Stability (CUPS), Titled Security Alert! - Bukola Saraki finally declares war on the Nigerian Senate.The report by CUPS stated that some unnamed sources told them that Senator Bukola Saraki has made plans to disrupt his ongoing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) by making use of thugs through some key personalities from Kwara State.
The statement is false, malicious and aimed at further denigrating the hard-earned image of Senator Bukola Saraki after their planned sponsored protest failed through earlier awareness to the general public of their sinister moves.
It is worrisome that aggrieved politicians opposed to Saraki's emergence as the Senate President, having failed to remove him, now resort to cheap blackmail by concocting lies under the disguise of "unidentified sources ".
The individuals mentioned in the statement to be planning the sinister move, are prominent Nigerians who respect the rule of law and stand strongly behind the Senate President. In this regard, this is a cheap attempt to intimidate supporters of the Senate President.
It will be recalled that this same mischievous group called CUPS had earlier circulated messages at different times requesting for funds for different non existent political gatherings.
The CUPS has been in the habit of peddling falsehood and deceiving unsuspecting Nigerians as the body has not lived up to its name of maintaining 'peace' and 'stability.'
Senator Bukola Saraki is a law abiding citizen who has demonstrated the utmost respect for the judicial system by taking the pain to attend and defend himself at the Tribunal even though the trial is believed to be borne out of malice and political persecution.
Moreover, Senator Saraki, despite his trial at the CCT has continued to perform his constitutional duties as the Senate President elected by his peers.
It is therefore a gratuitous insult to the Office of the Senate President, and the personalities of the patrotic and decent individuals mentioned in the concocted lies by this organisation to link them with tales of acts of gangsterism and violation of temple of justice.
This propaganda by his political opponents is not new and we urge law abiding citizens to disregard the body, its sponsors and promoters. This is the time to for everybody to forget our narrow, self-serving interest, dissuade the manipulation of state institutions to achieve personal and partisan objectives and ensure that rule of law prevails as prerequisite towards the entrenchment of our democratic tenets.
You need science & spiritual intervention- APC Publicity Secretaries tell Fayose
Publicity secretaries of APC in five Southwest states have asked Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, to seek science and spiritual interventions following his repeated outburst against the Buhari-led government. In a statement jointly signed by APC spokesmen of Ondo, Ekiti, Ogun, Lagos and Osun states, Omo’ba Abayomi Adesanya, Taiwo Olatunbosun; Sola Lawal; Joe Igbokwe and Morakinyo Akintola, they said his actions in recent times depicts a man 'suffering from psychosis.”
The secretaries described as embarrassing Fayose's recent letter to the Chinese President, Xi Jinping, asking for the cancellation of a $2 billion loan to Nigeria. The statement reads in part
“We have observed that Fayose’s public conducts suggest that he has a disease of the mind and mental crisis that need a great assay of science and spiritual intervention to save him before he becomes dangerous to the society. His recent public attitudes call for state of emergency about his mental health. His thoughts and emotions have been so impaired that he has completely lost decorum and conduct expected of a man that can safely live in peace with other people in a sane society where the law works. The last was his embarrassing and illegal communication with the Chinese authority urging President XI Jinping to refuse financial assistance to Nigeria to enable the country address her economic challenges. Also in China, he mounted a rostrum at a train station addressing travellers in tattered clothings and posted his photograph on the Internet, claiming that he was addressing investors in China even when there was no Federal Government’s approval that he ought to seek before a state can embark on such diplomatic trip,”.

The Director General of the Pension Transition Arrangement Directorate (PTAD), Nellie Mayshak, has been placed on indefinite suspension and is being investigated after it was discovered that she allegedly received N50 million monthly in salary plus other allowances.

Myashak is the pioneer director general of the agency.

It was established in August 2013 in compliance with the provisions of section 30 sub-section (2) (a) of the Pension Reform Act (PRA) of 2004 (amended in 2014) which stipulated the establishment of an independent pension department for the public service of the federation.

Video: IG Flamez ft Tito Da Fire - Uwese
Grinding Records presents brand new song from IG FLAMEZ, born Benjamin Ignatius Onimawo to a Professor father and mother who holds a doctorate degree. Music runs in IG FLAMEZ family as his father Professor had musical routes while his uncles also are musicians.
IG Flamez professional music sojourn began 5years ago when he gained admission to study Architecture in Bells university where he got crowned the “freestyle champ” and participated in major inter school music competitions. His stay in Bells University was shortlived as he came on the wrong side of the school’s laws and had to leave in 300level to resume in another university. Rapping and dancing was his first call before transiting into singing.
After 5years of working on numerous mixtapes and singles and working with several underground acts, his surprise appearance and performance at an event in Benin in July 2015, spun a bidding contest for the artiste. He left the venue and was home when his manager called him back to meet Grinding records boss Tito Da.fire, his long time object of admiration who had gone to make an appearance at the event.
By the time he returned Tito Da.Fire had left, their efforts yielded results when the organisers linked them with Tito Da.fire who invited the artiste to Lagos where he played his repertoire and was later asked to sing a song written by Tito da.fire, he raw, energetic and soulful interpretation of the song earned him his record deal. According to Tito, “he’s a rare artistic breed, whose sound is like no one else, like from his own musical world”.
Other scouts approached the artiste but he opted for Tito Da.Fire’s offer of a record deal which is rumoured to be a mouthwatering deal. immediately they hit the studio and UWESE , a Benin word for Thank You, is the first single off IG FLAMEZ forthcoming album.
For IG FLAMEZ this is a new beginning Best started with a Thank You.
Kindly follow @IGFLAMEZ and @TITODAFIRE
