Pastor Adeboye Still Remains the G.O of Redeem World Wide, Pastor Obayemi to be Nigeria G.O


Pastor E.A Adeboye has appointed Pastor Joseph Obayemi to lead the Redeemed Christian Church of God Nigeria.

Obayemi will be the 'national overseer' while Adeboye remains the general overseer worldwide.

Adeboye retires as RCCG G.O. and Obayemi has been named as successor

Earlier report had it that Adeboye has retired as the general overseer of the church.

However, a statement signed by Leke Adeboye, the clergyman's last son clarified that Adeboye remains the general overseer, Worldwide of RCCG while Obayemi will be leading the RCCG Nigeria.

According to him, the development was in line with the new legal requirements set up by the Financial Regulations Council, guiding all registered churches, mosques, and CSOs.

"The regulation stipulates that heads of non profit organisations like churches now have a maximum period of twenty years to lead their organizations while in retirement, they are not permitted to hand over to their families ," the statement read.

Here is also the letter written by Pastor Adeboye to inform the new appointees of their new roles in the ministry.

Before his appointment, Obayemi was the former special assistant to the general overseer on finance.

Pastor Johnson Odesola, who was the special assistant on administration and personnel, was also appointed as the church secretary.

Recall that last year, the church said those calling for his retirement because of his age were ignorant of the church’s doctrine.

Adeboye, 74, was appointed general overseer of the church in 1991, taking over from Papa Akindayomi, who had died the previous year.

Nigerians have since reacted to the news about the appointment of a new head for the church in Nigeria as some expressed deep shock on hearing the news.

See Why ISIS bans Iraqi citizens from wearing Barca, Man U, Chelsea and Real Madrid kits, says defaulters face 80 lashes


International Islamic terrorist group ISIS has banned Iraqi citizens in Al-Furat province from wearing football jerseys of Barcelona, Man U, Real Madrid , Chelsea and a list of other clubs in Western nations according to a report by Mirror UK.

See what Guardiola Say Yaya Toure Must do If he Wants to Play for Man City

Yaya Toure has been told his Manchester City career is over unless he apologises for comments made by his agent.

Pep Guardiola issued the ultimatum after he was angered by public criticism from Dimitri Seluk in the wake of Toure’s omission from City’s Champions League squad.

Seluk claimed the four-time African Footballer of the Year had been left humiliated by Guardiola’s decision but said Toure would stick out the remaining year of his contract.


The 33-year-old, who called time on his Ivory Coast career on Tuesday, is yet to appear for City this season.

And ahead of Wednesday night’s EFL Cup tie with Swansea, Guardiola made it plain that will not change unless his terms are met.

He said: “It was so difficult for me to put him out of the Champions League, so difficult. I know him, I know he’s a good, good guy, but the list is the list.

“But the day after his manager [agent] spoke, and from that moment Yaya is out.

“Go to the media and apologise to Manchester City – the first one – the second one his team-mates and, after, the trainer. When that happens Yaya will be part of the group and he will have the same chance to play all the games.

“I cannot accept as a coach every manager, when his player doesn’t play, goes to the media and speaks and speaks and speaks.

“I cannot imagine in my period when I was a football player, my manager going to the media and speaking against [then Barcelona boss] Johan Cruyff, about this and about that.

“Maybe it’s a new era now, the new period changing, but I’m an old guy. I am old generation, and an old generation manager has to make his players his job and trainers his job.

“Today the managers believe they are more than they are. If he has a problem call [City director of football] Txiki Begiristain, the club, and they can talk. Until he doesn’t speak, Yaya is not going to play.”

Revealed: Venus and Serena Williams Uses drugs (photos)

Venus hugs sister, Serena, after a match

It’s been revealed that the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) allowed US tennis players Serena and Venus Williams to take banned substances.

It has also been revealed that gymnast Simone Biles failed a doping test yet avoided disqualification.

The revelations were made after a group of Russian hackers that goes by the name “Fancy Bears” gained access to Wada database Tuesday and leaked confidential documents.

The documents claim former No. 1 tennis player Serena Williams was allowed to take banned substances such as oxycodone, hydromorphone, prednisone and methylprednisolone in 2010, 2014 and 2015 while her sister Venus Williams was allowed to take prednisolone and triamcinolone among others in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

The documents, however, do not reveal why WADA allowed the athletes to use the substances.

Steven Gerrard Ruin Balotelli's at Liverpool Because of His Jealousy - EL Hadji Diouf (photos)



Former African footballer of the year El Hadji Diouf has blasted former teammate and old foe Steven Gerrard saying he’s the reason ‘bad boy’ Mario Balotelli didn’t make it at Liverpool.

The controversial Italian striker Balotelli scored two goals on his debut for Nice in a win over Marseille on Sunday. He moved to Ligue 1 after having his Liverpool contract terminated.

Speaking after the game, Balotelli said that moving to Liverpool was the worst decision of his career, Diouf then used the opportunity to dish out on Gerrard.

Speaking to L’Equipe, he said: “I told him not to go to Liverpool. It wasn’t made for him, that things couldn’t go well with Gerrard, who has never had his talent and then said negative things about him.


‘Gerrard is a jealous man who doesn’t like men of character. Mario is a good person that you should listen to. He’s not a guy who’s going to cause problems in the dressing room.’

“There are a lot of things that have been made up about him. People tell tales about him, but they’re often a load of rubbish.”

”He doesn’t like black people’. He’s not a fan.’

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Eyes New Contract With Manchester United


Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be offered a contract extension by the Old Trafford club, The Mirror
reports.

The 34-year-old signed for United as a free agent on a one-year deal in July, with the option of a 12-month extension after his contract expired at Ligue 1 champions PSG.

The striker has scored four goals in four EPL games for Mourinho’s side.


According to the source Ibrahimovic’s fitness is said to have particularly impressed club bosses.
In his turn Ibrahimovic says fitness issues would determine if he would stay at the club for two more years.

He said: “Let’s see what happens. You never know. It could be more than two, it could be more than three. Let’s see how long I feel like I can perform”.

You Need Winning Mentality, Not Training – Dalung Blast Athletes


Barrister Solomon Dalung, the minister of Youth and Sports, may have again triggered the ire of Nigerians following his latest claim that athletes don’t need too much preparation to excel in competitions.

Dalung made the claim on Brila FM radio Lagos and monitored by Vanguard.

His remark comes on the heels of the sterling performance posted so far by Team Nigeria athletes at the on-going Paralympic Games also in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

According to him, the Paralympic athletes also had bad preparations like their able bodied athletes but are doing better in Brazil.

He said: “The disabled athletes have shown that all you need is a winning mentality and not too much preparation, they trained under the same condition with their able bodied counterparts but they are winning medals now.”

However, countering Dalung’s claim, Commonwealth Wrestling champion, Odunayo Adekuoroye, said that there is no way an athlete who trained for a month or two could do well or think of winning a medal.

Adekuoroye who was speaking on the same programme apologised to her fans for failing them at the Olympics.

She said: “It is not possible to win a medal with one or two months training. We had looked forward to good training and hoped to do well at the Olympics. I want to apologise to Nigerians who had looked up to me for a medal.”

Team Nigeria Paralympic athletes have so far garnered a total of nine medals consisting six gold, two silver and one bronze.

They currently occupy the ninth position on the log as against the 78th position Team Nigeria finished in the rankings published by the organizing committee of Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

Those Criticizing Pogba Are Only Full of Envy - Ibrahimovic


The world’s most expensive player’s performance was below-par in United’s 1-2 defeat to city rivals which was followed by huge criticisms.
David was the better than the world most expensive player at during the Manchester derby
However Ibrahimovic remained firm that the French midfielder was subject to the blame-game because of envy.

Ibrahimovic said: “All the jealous people who talk about him will swallow all of the words they have said about him.

“He will only improve and will get everyone behind him.


“My relationship with Paul is easy: I speak, he listens. Paul is a player with a lot of talent.”
The 34-year-old Swede also added the former Juventus star player will improve with time and believes he will prove his worth to doubters.

Ibrahimovic believes Pogba should be given more time to prove himself

“Now, you have to be realistic, people are putting a lot of pressure on Paul,” claimed the Swedish forward. “His transfer created a huge amount of buzz.

“I didn’t know Paul before and, now that I do, I can tell you he’s someone who works enormously. He really wants to improve and he has a super attitude. But you mustn’t forget he’s young. That’s all I can say,” he said.

Pogba is yet to score since making his debut for the Red Devils against Southampton in August, but will be hoping to bounce back when they take a trip to Feyenoord in a Europa League game on Thursday, September 15.

Super Eagles Boss Rohr Rejects House Given to Him In Abuja, Says he Wants a Smaller Apartment.



New Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr, has reportedly rejected a three-bedroom apartment in Abuja, saying it is “too big”.

The 63-year-old inspected the house which was rented for him by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in Jabi, but insists he wants a smaller apartment.

Rohr is entitled to official accomodation, as part of the terms of the two-year deal he signed with the NFF. He is also expected to be provided with an official car.

The German, who is on a massive $47,000 a month, took charge of his first official game last weekend against Tanzania and is preparing towards a 2018 World Cup qualifier in Zambia next month.

Revealed: The Referee Was Bribed By Swansea Management - Cahill Insists (photos)

Chelsea's Gary Cahill has been Claiming Foul 'could Be Seen From Moon' After Swansea Draw,

Chelsea defender Gary Cahill claimed he was the victim of a foul so blatant it could have been seen from the moon in the lead-up to Swansea's second goal in Sunday's 2-2 draw.

Leroy Fer scored to put the Swans 2-1 up, but only after appearing to foul the England international as he dispossessed him.

A furious Cahill told BBC Sport: "Clear, clear foul. You could be sat on the moon, the top of the stand, anywhere in the stadium, you can see that's a clear foul for me. I knew right from start that the referee was bought".


"I took the touch away from him. It's not like he's come from the side of me, he's come from behind me.

"I felt the foul clear as day on the pitch and seeing it back has made me even more angry."
Cahill revealed he went to see referee Andre Marriner after the game and challenged him but he denied he wasn't being fair".

"I didn't go in kicking the door down, I went in to see him for an explanation," he added.

"Between the three of them (Marriner and his assistants) they've just said that they didn't see that which for me is incredible.

"It's all fun and games for the fans, but it's me that suffers performance-wise, because I thought I had a very good game today. That kills me personally and more important than anything it kills my team."

Cahill posted video of the incident on his Twitter account along with a series of angry faces, calling the decision "incredible".

NFF Neglected Us: I paid More Than £30,000 From My Pocket To Help The Dream Team During Olympics - Mikel Obi



John Mikel Obi has revealed that he was forced to pay more than [£30,000] from his pocket to help Nigeria’s U-23 team during the Rio Olympics.

The Dream Team defeated Honduras 3 – 2 in a third place match to win Bronze which was Nigeria’s only medal at the 2016 Olympic games.

Mikel Obi, who helped out with travel arrangement, meals and booking training pitches, also slammed the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

“I think if we talk about the money that I put into the team I think it was more than [£30,000],” Mikel told Goal.

“But we just had to do it. I said to myself, ‘I won’t let this happen. If I can help, I’ll try to help’.

Sometimes there was no food, sometimes there was no pitch to train on, there was no bus to go to the training ground. So all of this was what me and the coach had to figure out, and get money together.

“I came to the camp. I sat down with the boys in Atlanta and I could see the frustration, the pain and the anger. Their aim was to play in the Olympics, their goal was to play in the Olympics.

“And for me being there and seeing what they are going through, they are young boys, they want to start their career and someone in the ministry is trying to crush that dream.”


Mikel Obi also discussed the issue of being stranded in Atlanta and getting to the Brazil just five hours before the first game against Japan:

“There was just no flight provided by the Nigerian ministry.

“We planned to leave three or four days before the tournament, but we ended up leaving the day of our first game. It was a difficult one. I don’t think I have ever seen something like that before, it was crazy.

“After our last minute flight, we got to the hotel, dropped our bags, grabbed some sandwiches, something to eat. A little bit of food. Then headed straight back to the stadium because we hadn’t even done our accreditations then, so we had to go there and wait in the line, do our accreditation.

“It was absolutely hectic. I don’t know how we managed to go onto the pitch and win that game, it was absolutely mind blowing.” He said.

'I've won 3 Ballon d'Ors and he's won none' - Cristiano Ronaldo blasts Xavi



Cristiano Ronaldo blasted Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez after the former Barcelona player said the Real Madrid/Portugal star was unlucky to be playing in the same generation as Lionel Messi.

Speaking to Spanish radio station Cadena Ser earlier in the week, Xavi had said:

“Ronaldo is a player of his time. The problem is that there is another who has been pretty much the best player in history. Ronaldo is extraordinary but compared to Messi, for me and for everyone who likes football, there are no comparisons.

“Messi will be number one until he wants [to stop]. He’s superior to everyone and is the best in the world, unless you are Real Madrid.”

'Only a fool could have played football and not recognize Cristiano is an elite footballer. But he just has had bad luck to be around at the same time as Leo.'


On Saturday evening, Ronaldo who scored on his Madrid comeback after months of being injured stunningly reacted to the former Barcelona captain's comments.

'The most searched for player on the Internet is me. Those that want to appear on front covers [of newspapers] or promote things speak about me.

'What does it matter to me what Xavi says? He plays where? In Qatar or [somewhere], I don't know. He's won everything but he's never won a Ballon d'Or. I have three.'

Ronaldo also claimed that if he were Florentino Perez, Real Madrid's president, he would issue himself with a new mega-deal as his current deal is set to end in 2018.

'If I were the president of Real Madrid, I would give myself a 10-year contract. Right now I'm not thinking about anything else in my career, all I want is to retire at Real. This is the biggest club in the world and it should have the best players.'
