The Drama of Defense: Ribadu and Abati, will there be a truce


Nigeria is indeed a comical palace especially when it concern the government, where every Nigerian is regarded as a saint until they remove their regional tribal marks to work for Government , there has been so much bickering in recent times, (Don’t Dare to correct a Ruler), They are infallible, Paid booth leaker are ready to take you on, even if their reputation is thrown to the gutters, 


 Some are “Bulldogs”’ others are “Spokesperson” and the critics are enemies for daring to oppose a seeming misrule; The media is their refuse dump, as elected or selected Ruler strive to make a point for their image while seemingly neglecting primary duties and exerting energies on rejoinders, 

This administration will sure score some marks  for such commentaries at the end when men are usually set to face reality

The recent altercations between Nuhu Ribadu the erstwhile EFCC Boss and Ruben Abati (“now known differently)” is a drama of defense though Nollywood may never capture it for now.

The EFCC Boss had said that , Nigeria is a “sinking ship” Under Jonathan, in which the yearnings of the masses are being neglected by a tyrannical leadership. A remark which did not go down well with the Presidency

In response Dr. Ruben Abati representing his Boss dismissed Nuhu Ribadu’s statement as “shameless wolf-crying, the peddling of arrant falsehood and the denigration of the elected government of his fatherland in furtherance of his selfish quest for continued national political relevance after his wholesale rejection by Nigerian voters in 2011.”

More was said, But this Blog is not for Ribadu or Abati, it is for Nigerians and the world

The entertainment is what I call Drama as Nuhu Ribadu in reply to Jonathan said that Jonathan that is ethically challenged and struggling to redeem his lost morality and integrity.

Fabregas and Lewandowski give green light to join Moyes's United revolution


Manchester United are increasingly confident they can bring Cesc Fabregas and Robert Lewandowski to Old Trafford this summer after being given private encouragement from both players.

New United manager David Moyes would ideally like to bring both the Barcelona midfielder and Borussia Dortmund’s Poland striker to the club before his squad departs on a tour of Asia and Australia in the middle of next month.
It is understood both players have expressed an interest in joining the Barclays Premier League champions and United feel they can do the deals.

Robert Lewandowski
Fabregas’s former club Arsenal have first refusal on the 26-year-old if he leaves the Nou Camp this summer but United are understandably confident that Old Trafford may prove more attractive to a player who spent eight years with the London club before moving back to Spain two summers ago.

Lewandowski is keen to move to England after his hopes of a switch to new European champions Bayern Munich were dashed this week.

United have been tracking the Polish star for months and believe he could provide genuine competition for Robin van Persie, who will be 30 shortly before the start of the club’s title defence begins in August.

His arrival would also increase the pressure on Wayne Rooney, who asked to leave Old Trafford towards the end of last season.
Meanwhile, United goalkeeper David de Gea is relishing the chance to work with Moyes after getting over the ‘surprise’ of Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.
De Gea, who is in Israel helping Spain’s bid to retain their European Under 21 crown, is confident former Everton boss Moyes can seamlessly take over from Ferguson.

‘Of course I am looking forward to the new season,’ said De Gea.
‘It was a surprise to us all that Ferguson left. But we know that when we get back to training Moyes will be there and it is going to be a pleasure to work with him.
'But we know that when we get back to training he (Moyes) will be there and it is going to be a pleasure to work with him.'

De Gea has yet to concede a goal at the Under 21 European Championship.

Spain secured their place in the semi-finals with a game to spare, having followed up an opening day victory over Russia by beating Germany on Sunday.
'It was very important,' De Gea said of the 1-0 win against Germany.

'We are into the semi-finals again and we are very happy with that.

'They are all good teams when you get to this stage of a tournament, they all have a lot of quality.

'It will be difficult whoever we face. We have had two tough games and, thankfully, we have been lucky enough to get through.'

Spain are hoping to regain the crown they won in style two years ago in Denmark.
England Under 21s exited that tournament at the group stage and have suffered the same fate again in Israel after defeats by Italy and Norway - something that shocked De Gea.

'I'm surprised with England as I would have expected them to have put up more of a fight and win more points,' he said.
'I thought they would have been in the semi-finals, but that is football. Sometimes these things happen

I miss Goldie's Heart - Uti Nwachukwu
















Aww! In a very recent interview, Uti Nwachukwu when asked what he missed the most about Goldie said this

"I miss her heart, she was such a kind soul. Goldie was so sweet in person, that it was a direct opposite of what you saw in her music and videos. The first time I met her, I was like you are so much more beautiful in person, warm and she was laughing and since then we became close and no going back since then. She was just about to blow when this thing happened. When I went to the hospital I was so pained and we prayed and prayed and hoped for a miracle, for her to come back, but you really can’t dictate to God what you want, it’s his will that supersedes ours."
