Man U Can Win the League - Louis van Gaal

 

Here comes the boast. Manchester United’s new manager, Louis van Gaal has insisted that his team win EPL title this season after Sunday’s 3-0 win over Liverpool – but says the team still need to make improvements.

The Red Devils secured a 3-0 win with goals from Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Robin van Persie.

But it was ‘keeper David De Gea who was man of the match with a number of brilliant saves to ensure his side got the three points after United was cut open on several occasions.

Here what Van Gaal said:

Impeachment Plot: PDP Loses 5 House of Reps Members to APC

 

Five members of the Federal House of Representatives have announced their defection from the ruling Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).

They are Isiaka Mohammed‎, Ibrahim El-sudi, Taraba, Adams Jagaba, Kaduna, Hambe Herman, Benue, and Ahmed Aisha Dahiru, Adamawa.

The defection factually signifies no arithmetical progress for the APC, having lost five members and increased by another five. But it does decrease the chances of the PDP to effect Tambuwal’s removal as the Speaker of the House of Reps.

The defection dance in the lower chambers of the National Assembly seems not to be over.

Innocent looking but a dangerous killer.

Revealed: Okorocha Frustrated Ndigbo's Chance - APC Spokesman

 

When I saw Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, on the television praising self for having contested and lost, I felt ashamed as “Onye Igbo”.

Now I feel better since more voices are coming out to correct such a wrong notion.

A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-East, Osita Okechukwu, has accused governor Rochas of putting Ndigbo in a weak position to bargain for Vice President in the 2015 general elections.

Okorocha had stated: “By participating in the contest, I have been able to prove that the president can come from any part of the country. It is the understanding of APC that the president should come from the North ever since. I know about that, but I don’t like those facts, so I have come to distort those facts which are not the truth.”

But in a statement yesterday Sunday, December 14, 2014, Okechukwu, who is the spokesman of APC in the South-East, asked Okorocha if the distortion of facts was more important than the collective interest of the marginalized Ndigbo.

Here is what Sunday said:

A mum who boasted to neighbours that she had the ‘best Christmas tree in the world’ was busted by police – who revealed that it wasn’t a fir tree at all, but a gigantic marijuana plant.

APGA Set to Take-Over Onitsha South as Patrick Aniunoh Receives Certificate of Return

The caliber of men being presented by All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA tells a lot about the party's determination to retain control of Anambra State.

The picture above shows the APGA candidate for Onitsha South I Constituency, Mr Patrick Aniunoh posing with his ward leaders at the party's state secretariat, Awka shortly after he received his Certificate of Return.

Mr Patrick is a strong grassroots mobilizer well-known within his constituency as the "humble politician".

I'm so impressed, with Mr Patrick in Onitsha South I and Hon Ifeanyi Beverly Nkendiche in Onitsha South II, APGA is set to clinch the two House of Assembly seats in Onitsha South Local Government.

The governor of the State who doubles as the Board of Trustees Chairman of APGA has repeatedly declared that his party is ready to take full control of the state and also capture more South East States by 2015.

Court Finds Obasanjo Guilty of ...

 

A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Wuse Zone 2, Abuja, has found former President Olusegun Obasanjo guilty of contempt.

The Nation reports that Justice Valentine Ashi, in a ruling on Wednesday held that Obasanjo was in contempt of court for flouting orders restraining him from among others, publishing his autobiography – “My Watch.”

Justice Ashi, in a ruling gave the former President 21 days (from the day of service of the court’s orders on him) to explain why he should not be punished for contempt for going ahead to publish the book despite the ex-parte interim order made by the court on December 5 and a pending libel suit involving him (Obasanjo).

Ashi restrained him from further publishing, printing or offering for sale, the book, which content touches on the subject matter before the court.

Obiano Reveals Humane Side; Rescues Accident Victim in Upper Iweka

The Governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano showed a yet to be known humane side on Wednesday afternoon when he ordered his convoy to an abrupt stop to rescue a man lying on the roadside after being hit by a Mercedes 608 Bus near the premises of 302 Artillary Division of

the Nigerian Army in Onitsha.

The victim, a young man in his 30s lay by the roadside bleeding with a broken head with no one to attend to him until the governor’s convoy pulled over. Governor Obiano immediately jumped out of his car and walked towards the victim to effect the recue, ordering his men to lend a hand.

The incident also justified Governor Obiano’s decision to have an ambulance as part of his convoy as he quickly ordered the driver of the ambulance to convey the victim to hospital with immediate effect.

The crowd watched in utter surprise as the governor took charge of the situation, moving close to the ambulance to assure the victim not to worry as he was in safe hands.

Since the governor ordered that an ambulance be installed as part of his convoy, many people had wondered why Governor Obiano had made such a directive. But the accident in Onitsha has shown once again that Governor Obiano is a man clearly ahead of his time.

Obiano wins again as Fed. High Court dismisses resurrected double registration suit

 

The Federal High Court sitting in Awka, Anambra State capital Wednesday December 10, 2014 dismissed a suit on alleged double or multiple registration resurrected by an Onitsha based human rights lawyer, Jezie Ekejiuba,  seeking the disqualification of Chief Willie Obiano as the All Progressives Congress (APGA) candidate and nullification of the November 2013 governorship election that gave him victory  over alleged discrepancies in his voting documents during the November 2013 election.

In the suit No.FHC/AWK/CS/269/2013, brought against Chief Obiano, Anambra State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Prof. Chukwuemeka Onukogu, and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the plaintiff claimed the first defendant (Obiano) allegedly submitted fake voter’s card in his INEC Form CF001 sworn affidavit contrary to Section 31 (1) to (6) of the Amended Electoral Act, 2010.
