You can’t play for Super Eagles anymore if you are not in first division - Oliseh

Coach Sunday Oliseh has fired a warning, stating that he will only consider players who feature in top leagues both home and abroad.

Stephen Keshi, however was known to call up players from the lower leagues overseas.

Sunday Oliseh said he wants to make changes and not do the same thing Stephen Keshi did. He said:

“If you are not playing  in first division in anywhere in the world and in Nigeria, you cannot play for the Super Eagles henceforth,” Oliseh warned at a media presentation in Abuja on Wednesday.

“However players coming from the under-aged teams are the only exception to this rule.”

Oliseh said it is an honour to lead the Eagles now as a coach, but that he cannot turn around the footballing fortunes of the country by himself.

“It’s a great honour to be a coach of this nation,” he said.

“First of all, I am not coming as a Messiah. I am not coming as a man who can single handedly turn Nigeria to Germany.

“I am coming in to do my best and give if possible 150% all the time.

“The state we are now in Nigeria I think we are all not happy with. Gone are the days we have individual players who can single handedly win a match for you. But we have the potentials and that is our belief and the players must know that it’s an honour to be invited to the national team.

Benenoise soldier strips female workers naked & tie them to a tree for allegedly stealing (photos)

This story is so bizarre and I really don't know how authentic it is. Someone sent it to me. According to the story, a Republic of Benin soldier named Corporal Chabi Séni stripped five girls naked and tied them to a tree after accusing them of stealing from their madam who owns a bar and who is his wife. The soldier decided their punishment would be to parade them naked and have someone take photos of the girls while the bar manager is seen kneeling in the background. I had to crop the girl's naked bodies out of the pics but I will include his face. Is there any way this man can get arrested for this?

That is the soldier with the manager kneeling. As you can see, he's looking at the naked girls. What a hopeless man.. 

Senior civil servants demand a minimum wage of N46, 000

The Association of Senior Civil Servants demanded a minimum wage of N46,000 for workers.
The union’s Secretary-General, Mr. Bashir Lawal, in Lagos State, on Wednesday, said that the existing N18,000 minimum wage was too little to meet the socio-economic demands of workers.

According to him, they arrived at a minimum wage of N46,000 per month after the union met with the National Public Service Joint Negotiating Council.
He said,

“In the past one year, we presented a proposal for salary review to the Federal Government but the government said that the price of crude had fallen. “We argued that if the price of crude is 30 dollars per barrel and the resources of the country are well managed, money will be enough to pay workers decent salaries.

“From the memo we submitted to the NPSJNC, we computed what it will take for an average worker to survive and we arrive at N66,000. “So, we took 75 per cent of that and we arrived at N46,000 minimum wage.

 Lawal said that the new minimum wage demand will not cause crisis in the economic sector, he said:

“If the government believes that the amount will create crisis, we will tell them what to do to ensure that everybody will be carried along.”

Chris Brown's baby mama claims their daughter, Royalty isnt safe around his friends

Chris Brown who had his house robbed last night is not getting a break. His time, his baby mama is worried Royalty's in danger when she's with Chris and his homies.

Sources close to Nia Guzman say she thinks many of Chris' friends are gang members or gang-affiliated, and the robbery shows they've now turned on Chris.
It's reported that  she's not cool with Royalty being around that element. She thinks his friends are riff raff.
Chris' mother also thinks last night's hit was an inside job. It's bad timing for Chris. He just filed documents asking a judge to hammer out a formal custody agreement  partly because he says Nia's been denying him visits with Royalty.

“Nia thinks Chris is crazy for saying she’s money hungry.She doesn’t want this to turn into that Mel Gibson movie Ransom, where Chris’ friend kidnaps Royalty for money. Chris first had his house broken into by a mad woman now this robbery.

If the court sees things Nia's way it could affect custody.

Osun workers resume strike action

Two days after calling off their 7-week old strike over unpaid salaries, Osun state civil servants have resumed a fresh strike. The workers are alleging that the state government have reneged on the memorandum of understanding signed with the state NLC leadership before the strike action was called off on Monday July 13th. 

TThe workers say as part of the Memorandum of Understanding they signed, their January salary was supposed to be paid starting from on Monday July 13 while they await the payment of the remaining salaries when the bailout from the Federal government gets to the state. They say they were however surprised that it was only the junior workers in the state that received full payments of their January salary while Senior workers got half of their salaries, a situation the state NLC leaders saw as suspicious and immediately called for a fresh strike.
