 NUT Protest : Wike Warns Against Politicising Insecurity The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned against politicising insecurity amid protests by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, FCT wing, over the killing and abduction of school staff and children in Oyo State. Teachers stormed the FCTA Secretariat in Abuja to condemn the killing of Michael Oyedokun and to demand the release of abducted pupils and teachers from Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle in Oriire Local Government Area. The FCT minister addressed the protesters on Tuesday, saying the federal government is on its toes working to secure the rescue of the schoolchildren and their teachers. Wike urged protesters to avoid turning the tragedy into a political issue and to give security efforts time to produce results. Chairman of the union in the FCT, Mr Abdullahi Shafa, explained that the nationwide solidarity protest was to condemn the killing of the teacher and abduction of the school chil...

BROWN IDEYE EXPRESSES READINESS TO REPRESENT SUPER EAGLES IF CALLED UPON.(PHOTO).


 


Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner, Brown Ideye, says he will jump on the opportunity to play for the Super Eagles again.


The striker was an integral part of the the Super Eagles side that won Nigeria’s third AFCON title in South Africa in 2013.


But since the 2013 AFCON triumph, Ideye has struggled to earn a call up to the national team.


A 2-1 win against Zambia in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in 2016 was Ideye’s last game for Nigeria.


Now 36 and recently returned to the Nigerian league with 9-time league champions and 2-time CAF champions League winners Enyimba, Ideye expressed his readiness to return to the national team after 8 years.


Speaking on Tuesday, Ideye made it clear that he has not retired from the national team yet.


Asked what his reaction to a call up to the Super Eagles would be, Ideye said, “For sure, I will jump on it because I’m not retired from international football yet. So why not? If I get called up to represent my country, I’m going to honour the invite, for sure,” he said.


Ideye is the third Super Eagles player who has returned to the NPFL for the ongoing season.


With signing for Enyimba, Ideye joins former international teammates Ahmed Musa and Abdullahi Shehu who are currently playing for Kano Pillars in the league.


It marks his return to the domestic league 17 years after leaving Ocean Boys to Europe where he spent years playing for Neuchâtel Xamax, Sochaux and Dynamo Kyiv.


The Aba Elephants will be hoping that the addition of Ideye will help them end recent dip in form which has seen them dismiss coach Head Coach Yemi Olarenwaju and hired Stanley Eguma to take over.
