<br />
The Super Falconets of Nigeria have lost the Under 20 Women’s World Cup to Germany. An extra-time winner by Lena Petermann was enough to deny them the FIFA U20 Women World Cup trophy which took place in Montreal’s Olympic Stadium in Canada as they were beaten 1-0. . This is the second time in three editions that the Falconets have lost out on the trophy.<br />
<br />
Four years ago, they also lost 2-0 in a finals against the Germans.Incidentally, it was Germany that also won the Senior men’s FIFA World Cup in Brazil just recently.  However, Falconets forward, Asisat Oshoala, was voted the Most Valuable player at the 2014 FIFA U-20 World Cup. She won the Golden Ball award as the best player and Golden Boot after scoring seven goals.nice!<br />

Photo: New map of Nigeria as proposed by delegates of National Confab

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
With so many problems in our great country Nigeria, ranging from insecurity, health scare, unemployment, corruption and many others, the delegates have found time out of their “not-so busy schedule” to further increase the division and tribalise our nation by the addition of new states and production of the new map of Nigeria.<br />
<br />
As a follow up to their July 3rd recommendation for 18 additional states to be created to bring the number of states in Nigeria to 54, members of the National conference Committee on Political Restructuring and Forms of Government jointly headed by Ike Nwachukwu & Mohammed Kumalia have released a copy of the proposed a new map of Nigeria with the additional states added. (pictured below). Continue to see the newly approved states as seen on the map.<br />
<br />

Anioma from Delta state,<br />
Ogoja from Cross River State<br />
Ijebu from Ogun State<br />
Ose state from Edo<br />
New Oyo State from the present Oyo State.<br />
<br />
The closing ceremony for the CONFAB will take place tomorrow August 21st where the final report adopted by the delegates on all matters discussed will be handed to President Jonathan for consideration and approval. I hope president Jonathan ignores this proposed bill of additional states…<br />

We Have Never Seen Poverty At This Magnitude Before In Nigeria- Femi Kuti

<br />
<br />
Femi Kuti is pissed with the suitution of the country and says he does not see himself as a Nigerian. Speaking in a recent interview with Tribune, Femi Kuti questioned the journalist interviewing him, asking what was right in Nigeria or about being a Nigerian. Hear him;<br />
<br />
“I don’t see myself as a Nigerian…I’m tired, angry and frustrated. It’s either you don’t live in this country or you are being a journalist. Is it the electricity or the traffic? The traffic is just unbearable. Lagosians wake up at 4:00 a.m. and don’t get home sometimes till 11:00 p.m. And how much does an average person earn? In fact, I don’t want to talk again. I’m just tired….We are talking about Boko Haram. We have never seen poverty at this magnitude before. Health care services are failing. Education sector is also failing; so, what is there to celebrate? Poverty? Ethnic violence? Religious differences? What exactly? Tell me.”<br />
Hmm, this is really through, beacause in terms of some things, Nigerian can be called one of the poorest country in the world, God Help Nigeria.<br />

FIFA Issues Keshi Ultimatum on Saintfeit Comments

<a href="http://famousgists.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ke.jpg"><img alt="ke" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2279" height="173" src="http://famousgists.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/ke-300x173.jpg" width="300" /></a><br/><br/>FIFA has given Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi until September 19 to respond to the comments he made on former Malawi coach Tom Saintfeit, THISDAY Sports gathered authoritatively last night.<br/>The deadline was issued in a letter received by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) from FIFA before the decisive World Cup 2014 qualifier between Nigeria and Malawi in Calabar on September 7.<br/><br/>In the letter, FIFA gave Keshi a two-week ultimatum to respond to the Belgian coach’s allegations. The deadline for Keshi to reply is next week Thursday.<br/><br/>We learnt last night that NFF leadership plans to summon Keshi to a meeting on how a soft landing defence can be presented to FIFA.<br/><br/>Saintfeit had alleged that Keshi racially abused him by the reference to him as ’’a white dude who should go back to Belgium", in a charged response to Saintfeit’s request for the World Cup qualifier to be moved from Calabar on safety concern.<br/><br/>The Belgian, who failed to secure an appointment with NFF as a Technical Director last year, after he had attended an interview in Abuja, caused uneasiness in Nigeria, when he asked FIFA to move the crucial fixture to Abuja or a neutral country, because the UK's Foreign & Commonwealth Office had pronounced Calabar as a no-travel area.<br/><br/>His comments prompted FIFA to demand for a full security cover from Nigeria which was provided by the Inspector General of Police Mohammed Abubakar, before Calabar was declared fit to host the match.<br/>The Eagles coach innocuously responded to Saintfeit’s comment to stoke the tension leading to the match by granting a phone interview aired on UK-based African TV show.<br/><br/>Keshi was angered and in the abridged interview he said:"I think the coach of Malawi is crazy. If he wants to talk to FIFA, he should go back to Belgium. He is not an African person, he is a white dude; he should go back to Belgium."<br/><br/>The comments were regarded as an extraordinary slur by Saintfeit who forced a complaint to be sent on his behalf to FIFA by his former employers, the Football Association of Malawi (FAM).<br/><br/>FAM wanted an action to be taken against Keshi for the comments, a demand which FIFA failed to deal with it before the important fixture which Nigeria won 2-0 to top Group B for a place to the last stage of Africa’s qualifying round in October – November.<br/><br/>FIFA has a zero-tolerance stance on racism as a way to control acts of discrimination in the football.
