See Why Mikel Obi Will Not Play For Nigeria Against Tunisia

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday ahead of the match, Rohr disclosed that the midfielder picked up an injury in training and will not have recovered in time for the clash.

“Mikel picked up an injury yesterday and couldn’t train so it is unlikely that he will play.

“He’s had a good tournament and we must remember there are people who participated in the qualifiers who are not here. He’s here because he accepted to come without preconditions,” the German said.

Mikel Obi has only played in two games at this year’s AFCON – the first and last Group B fixtures against Burundi and Madagascar respectively.

Arrest Obasanjo And See What Will Happen- Yoruba Youths Threatens FG

The Igbimo Odo Yoruba has dared the federal government to arrest ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo over the letter he wrote to President Buhari.

Recall that the Miyetti Allah group called for the arrest of former President Olusegun Obasanjo who sent an open letter to President Buhari yesterday, decrying the state of the Nation with particular reference to insecurity.

The former President in his open letter, said it is quite unfortunate that criminality has now been attached to the Fulani tribe because President Buhari is from the Fulani extraction.

”The unfortunate situation is that the criminality is being perceived as a ‘Fulani’ menace unleashed by Fulani elite in the different parts of the country for a number of reasons but even more, unfortunately, many Nigerians and non-Nigerians who are friends of Nigeria attach vicarious responsibility to you as a Fulani elite and the current captain of the Nigeria ship.

“Perception may be as potent as reality at times. Whatever may be the grievances of Fulanis, if any, they need to be put out in the open and their grievances, if legitimate, be addressed; and if other ethnic groups have grievances, let them also be brought out in the open and addressed through debate and dialogue”

Obasanjo said in his letter

Reacting, the Miyetti Allah called for the arrest of Obasanjo, accusing him of working against the interest of Nigeria.

In a counter-reaction, the Igbimo Odo Yoruba through its Secretary General, Olufemi Lawson, stated that the federal government would be calling for a clash if Obasanjo is arrested.

The group dared the Federal government to carry out the demand’s of the Miyetti Allah and be ready for the outcome.

“I Started RUGA In 2001, I’m One Of the Largest Cow Sellers In Nigeria” – Orji Uzor Kalu

Kalu insists the policy was perfectly implemented in 2001 without generating any controversy let alone mistrust or suspicion between Abians and herdsmen.

Former Abia State governor, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has said he implemented RUGA herdsmen settlement policy in the state without any controversy and therefore advised the federal government to always give proper information about any of its policies before implementation in order to avoid crises.

Senator Kalu, who is now the Senate Chief Whip, said the noise generated by the recently suspended federal government policy on RUGA settlement, according to him was not properly marketed to Nigerians, particularly those in the South and North Central axis.

According to him, the policy was perfectly implemented in 2001 without generating any controversy let alone mistrust or suspicion between Abians and herdsmen, the Voice of Nigeria reports.

“When people talk about RUGA, I wonder: in 2001 I did a RUGA in Abia. In Lokpanta, I built it and the cows were sold in Umuahia and Aba. In 2001, I invited the Hausa community and they said Umuahia and Aba we needed to decongest.

“Where we have Shoprite in Umuahia today used to be a settlement, the same thing with Aba we had an honest meeting with them and agreed that I will provide land, water, and electricity for them. I collected five coaster buses to show them the land and if it is agreeable by everyone.

“I had meetings with the communities and they agreed in Lokpanta and that is the biggest cow market in both South East and South South of Nigeria today. So, it is about the attitude of people to issues.

“Yes, the federal government should always do very serious and extensive consultation whenever they want to embark on such issues. It is not just to go and put a deliberate policy and say I want to do RUGA. People in the village don’t understand what RUGA means; they will panic and say they want to kill all of them.

“Some of us are the largest sellers of cows. I started selling cow as far back as when I was in university. I am still selling cows because it is profitable so most of the cows you see are also not owned by Hausa people.

“We trade in cows. So, people should have information because information is power and power is information,” he explained.
