General Momoh, who reportedly oversaw the fraud of the 2014 Ekiti gubernatorial election, is fired by the army. Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh, who reportedly oversaw the fraud of the 2014 gubernatorial election in Ekiti State, has been fired by the Nigerian Army.

During the recently concluded Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, DC, the United States, the Minister of Defense, Mansur Dan Ali, informed the news outlet that Mr. Momoh's military career had been terminated after the report of a military panel that investigated the unprofessional conduct of officers and soldiers during the elections in Ekiti and Osun State indicted him alongside other soldiers.

The commission of investigation, presided up by Major General Adeniyi Oyebade, issued "far-reaching recommendations" to aid the army's future participation in civil elections. The board interviewed 62 commanders, over 100 troops, and 62 citizens before making its recommendations. The board recommended forcing two army commanders to retire, according to the statement.

Additionally, it suggested that three officers lose their command, while another suggested that they be prosecuted for seeking financial gain. The board also recommended adding 15 officials to a watch list while referring nine others for further examination by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission due to suspicions of wrongdoing against them. The board also recommended that 62 officers (mainly Majors-below in level) get letters of disapproval and attend before their respective General Officers Commanding for counseling. Six officers are to go before an audit committee.

 The panel was established in response to the publication of a video recording by Captain Sagir Koli of its Intelligence Corps, which revealed steps taken to rig the June 21, 2014 election in Ekiti State by Mr. Momoh, his commanding officer, and other senior members of the Goodluck Jonathan government.

Ayodele Fayose, the governor of Ekiti State, Aliyu Momoh, a general, and leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party Andy Uba and Iyiola Omisore conspired to rig the 2014 election in Ekiti State, according to the video recording. Musiliu Obanikoro, a former minister of state for defense. Jelili Adesiyan, a former minister of police affairs. When Mr. Koli learned that the army was planning to arrest him, he was forced into hiding. However, the army had his younger brother, a 15-year-old secondary school student, seized, held, and tortured.

As Mr. Koli refused to come out of hiding to verify the footage, former President Goodluck Jonathan declined to look into the video. Additionally, the army attested to Mr. Momoh's retirement. General Momoh and others have retired from the Army, according to Sani Usman, the army's spokesperson, who was speaking to the Punch newspaper. AD Kogi According to the publication, colonel Usman declined to provide more information. The former army spokeswoman, Brigadier-General Olajide Laleye, was another senior officer who retired on the panel's advice, according to The Punch.

The notorious event that brought an end to Beckham's Man Utd career TV footage turned to Sir Alex Ferguson sitting on the Manchester United bench as David Beckham's last-ditch free kick cleared the crossbar and went into the Stretford End. The Scot was heard saying, "Ah, f*** it," and dropping his arm in annoyance. It doesn't matter that Beckham scored twice after coming off the bench to keep United's hopes of catching the Ronaldo-led Real Madrid alive in a game that had already gotten away from them.

 Beckham's United career was officially gone, and Ferguson's team was eliminated from the Champions League. Just over 20 years have passed since the notorious "boot kicking" incident that strained relations between United's intimidating manager and the guy known as "Goldenballs," whose international notoriety went beyond football.

Unsurprisingly, Beckham discusses the bizarre event that caused him to leave Old Trafford in the two-minute clip. He simulates the moment when Ferguson's errant boot smacks him above the left eye while it is still on the dressing room floor. In an attempt to mimic how he rose up and "went after" Ferguson, Beckham gets up from his seat. Beckham is presumably aware that questions regarding this will be raised for as long as he takes breaths. In fact, in the two decades that have passed, there have already been several reports of it from both sides.

A few months prior to the Real Madrid match, it happened on February 15, 2003, during an FA Cup fifth-round match against Arsenal. United's dreams of winning the domestic Double or another Treble were dashed after playing badly and losing to their key rivals 2-0. Before Edu's free-kick took a crucial deflection off Beckham's shoulder and caught goalkeeper Fabien Barthez off guard, Ryan Giggs had inexplicably missed an open goal.

Edu set up Sylvain Wiltord to extend Arsenal's lead seven minutes after halftime, ensuring their progress into the quarterfinals. The rivalry between these two teams was at its height, and United took a significant psychological hit as a result of Arsenal's victory. It happened nine months after Wiltord's goal at Old Trafford gave the Gunners the Premier League championship. Beckham had a difficult season. He lost his starting position due to an injury, and there was tension between him and Ferguson because the manager thought Beckham's support group was making overtures to Real Madrid.

The 'Galactico' period of the Spanish giants, during which they would sign the biggest names in the world at any price, was at its height. They had Beckham squarely in their crosshairs. Later in 2003, Beckham published his autobiography My Side, in which he accused Ferguson of single-out him for severe criticism following the Arsenal defeat. What about the second objective, David? Who or what were you? Before the game, we informed you about it. The issue is that you won't engage in conversation with anyone. You don't listen,' allegedly Ferguson said. In an attempt to prove his innocence, Beckham claimed that during his more than eight years playing for United's first team, he had never disobeyed a single directive from Ferguson.

The manager, however, was not amused. David, you've got to own up when you're wrong, he responded. I thought I was being bullied in front of everyone. I was being forced into a corner just out of malice. I felt entrapped," wrote Beckham. Beckham, the captain of England, then cursed at his boss. The boss approached me by moving a few steps. On the ground was a boot. He kicked it with a swing of his leg. At me? toward the wall? Due to his current level of rage, it might have been anyplace.

However, Beckham felt a string and a trickle of blood as Ferguson's booted foot traveled from his toe to his forehead. "I targeted the gaffer." I'm not sure if I've ever lost control in such a way before. According to Beckham, all of a sudden, it resembled a crazy scene from a mafia film. In what must have been a startled hush, he remembered how Giggs, Gary Neville, and Ruud van Nistelrooy responded quickly to stop him from attacking Ferguson. Ferguson apologized while Becks received stitches at the hospital, and Becks recalled that Ferguson's enraged wife Victoria wanted to face the management herself.

For the month of August, the three levels of government received an allocation of N1.1 trillion from the federation account thanks to the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC). In a statement made public following its meeting in September 2023, FAAC announced the distribution of the money. The N1.1 trillion in income was made up of statutory revenue of N357.398 billion, VAT revenue of N321.94 billion, EMTL revenue of N14.1 billion, exchange difference revenue of N229.568 billion, and augmentation of N177.09 billion.

In August 2023, there was N1.48 trillion in total income available, while N58.755 trillion was deducted for collection costs, N254.046 trillion was transferred and refunded, and N71 trillion was saved, according to the communiqué. A total of N 891.934 billion in gross statutory income was reported for the month of August 2023, which is N258.49 billion less than the N1.15 trillion reported for the month of July 2023. The total amount of gross VAT income that was available was N345.727 billion, which was N46.938 billion more than the N298.789 billion that was available in July 2023.

 According to the communiqué, out of the N1.1 trillion in total income, the federal government collected N431.245 billion, the state governments N361.18 billion, and the local government councils N266.538 billion. VAT, Import and Excise Duties, and the Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL) all had considerable increases in August, whilst the Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT), the Companies Income Tax (CIT), and Oil and Gas Royalties all saw notable declines. The Excess Crude Account (ECA) has a balance of $473,754.57.

A playful dog entered the pitch at the 90+1 minute mark and interrupted play to engage in a game of soccer. Surprisingly, the goalie gave the ball to the hungry puppy, who snatched it up and started running across the field with pleasure. Every time the lively dog managed to escape custody by security personnel or players, the spectators would yell "oles" in support.

The instant the dog grabbed the ball and carried it from the border of the penalty area to the middle of the soccer field, it was clear that it was excited. Security staff and the players joined the chase, making it hilarious. The lively invader was briefly contained, but it again made a bold getaway. Fortunately, a brave staff member lured it with a different ball and guided the dog toward the changing area.

According to the Confederation of African Football (Caf), Morocco will host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania's combined candidacy for hosting the competition in 2027 also succeeded. Guinea was replaced by Morocco after being disqualified from the competition in October of last year due to issues with the facilities and infrastructure. Additional bids for 2025 included Zambia and one from Nigeria and Benin together. However, they decided to back out so that Morocco could demonstrate its worth in the hopes that it would boost the likelihood that Africa will host the World Cup.

The alternatives for both competitions, according to CAF President Patrice Motsepe, would have "proud" Africa. He noted that the bids' quality of infrastructure, including amenities, lodging, and hospitals, had been taken into account while making judgments. "The decision that was taken today was to focus on African unity, development, and growth, in the context of those countries withdrawing," Motsepe said of Morocco's victory, which also followed Algeria's withdrawal on the day of the vote. "Morocco is receiving a sizable amount of funding until 2025. The whole continent of Africa is included in Morocco's bid to host the World Cup.

The selection of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania marks the first time since Ethiopia in 1976 that countries from the Council for East and Central African Football Associations (Cecafa) would host the competition. Motsepe said, "The three countries got together because our criteria and regulations are quite high, similar to those of the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) and the European administrative organization Uefa. Infrastructure projects can cost hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. When football unites nations, it makes me happy. The AFCON 2027 will be a big success.

Phrank Shaibu, Atiku Abubakar's special assistant on public communications, has warned Nigerians to be aware of what he characterized as a planned strategy by President Bola Tinubu's government to employ propaganda to mislead people.

In a statement released on Sunday in Abuja, Shaibu urged Nigerians not to believe the sincere regret expressed by Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the President's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, and others because "they are only sorry they got caught." He claims that the President's handlers have been exposed to at least ten humiliating lies that have been spread throughout Nigeria over 117 days. He said, "It is ample proof that Tinubu's administration will use propaganda as a state policy because he has more media aides than economic and security experts.

"I would advise the Nigerian media to always fact-check every assertion made by this administration in order to preserve their credibility. Go outdoors to see if the sun is shining if the Tinubu administration declares that it is morning. "These are the 10 lies of the Tinubu regime I have compiled so far," Shaibu continued.

"1. In his inauguration speech, Bola Tinubu made the false claim that the gasoline subsidy was no longer in effect. With the price of waste oil at $94 a barrel and the naira trading at N1,000 to $1, diesel is currently about N1,000 per liter while gasoline is still about N620.  The stance that all oil marketers have maintained is that gasoline is now being subsidized is evident to the astute mind. Nigerians shouldn't fall for lies. The assertion by Tinubu that there is no subsidy is a devil's advocate falsehood, and the fact that they are even withholding the data indicates a lack of openness and the likelihood that more money is being taken.

"2. The second falsehood spread by these charlatans was that all Nigerians were now free to travel to Dubai since the United Arab Emirates had instantly abolished its prohibition on the country's citizens obtaining visas. Many undiscerning Nigerians, whose only sin was to trust the false statements of an unreliable administration, enthusiastically cheered this deception. Later, UAE authorities told CNN that everything was a hoax. What a shame for the country!

"3. This dishonest government's third falsehood is that Tinubu was the first president of an African country to ring the NASDAQ bell. Since then, it has been shown that Jakaya Kikwete, the president of Malawi, rang the bell on September 21, 2011.

4. The US Presidential Envoy and Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Ambassador Molly Phee, was cited in a statement made by Ajuri Ngelale on August 27, 2023, as saying, "President Joe Biden is asking to meet with you on the sidelines of UNGA and you are the only African leader he has requested to meet. It shows how highly he regards your leadership. As Tinubu left the UNGA and never saw President Biden, this has proven to be yet another humiliating falsehood.

"5. Tinubu's assertion that "We have retooled the exchange rate to a reliable, trustworthy one figure floating off the naira" was a fifth falsehood uttered on the NASDAQ floor. You are allowed to bring in money and take money out. But this is yet another devilish deception. The I&E Window's exchange rate is around N780 for every $1, but the parallel market's rate is over N1,000 for every $1. Additionally, international airlines still have approximately $600 million in money that is trapped in Nigeria. Due to this, Tinubu was lying when he declared, "You are free to take in your money and bring out your money."

"6. On August 14, 2023, the Nigerian government announced on its official Twitter account that terrorists gathered in Kurebe in Shiroro LGA in Niger State had been struck by a Nigerian Air Force strike. The terrorists, according to the administration, were defeated. Now, Premium Times has uncovered in its most recent investigation that this is all misinformation since the people who died were unarmed citizens. Is it not terrible how the Bola Tinubu administration's falsehoods have now spread to the military? The body of the fish cannot survive corruption after the head has gone bad.

"7. The Cenprogram of Nigeria said on September 6, 2023, that it will infuse $10 billion into the foreign exchange market within two weeks to eliminate the FX backlog as part of Bola Tinubu's marketing campaign. No money has been pumped into the system for days after the deadline expired while the naira continues to plunge.  There is no institution that Tinubu's administration can save from destruction.

"8. Tinubu declared, "As your President, I shall serve with a bias towards none," in his inauguration speech. But it now appears that this was just another outright falsehood. With all important appointments in every sector going to a certain region of the nation, including CBN, FIR Customs, the army, police, and immigration, while he serves as the petroleum and gas minister, Tinubu has been operating a government that is managed by, for, and by the clannish. Only five ministers were chosen from the southeast by Tinubu, who picked ten from the southwest. If this is not biased, what else is it?

9. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited announced last month that it had secured a $3 billion Afrexim loan that would assist in stabilizing the naira. We alerted people that everything was a hoax to fool Nigerians. We now have justification since Afrexim Bank has declined to comment on the naira's current black market rate of $1/N1,000. Simply put, this was audio cash.

10. The Student Loan Act, which Tinubu signed on June 12, was maybe the largest fraud and deception of his administration. The new law solely permits student loans for tuition. It doesn't pay for any further schooling costs. All federal government schools started raising tuition once the bill was signed. However, Dele Alake, who was the Special Advisor on Media at the time, stated in a

claim that all public schools continue to offer free tuition and that the only fees that have grown are those for housing, labs, libraries, and other expenses. Therefore, if tuition is free and the Student Loan Act only applies to tuition fees, the Student Loan Act is useless and no money would be disbursed under it.

released. In essence, Tinubu's administration has pushed government schools to raise tuition while forgoing student loans. This is the height of depravity and dishonesty.

Abiodun asked all party members to get past their mistakes and strive to reposition the party to accomplish its goals and advance the socioeconomic progress of the nation. Reconciling with Abiodun, Amosun's supporters rejoin the APC in Ogun. [Twitter:@dabiodunMFR] Reconciling with Abiodun, Amosun's supporters rejoin the APC in Ogun. [Twitter:@dabiodunMFR] On Friday in Abeokuta, several political party members who identified themselves as supporters of former governor Ibikunle Amosun re-joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun.

The members, who came from the state's 20 local government areas (LGAs), were welcomed by the state governor, Dapo Abiodun, at the Presidential Lodge in Abeokuta. He praised them for their "loyalty" and for standing firm in their convictions.

"I want to compliment you on your sense of leadership loyalty, which is not only good, but also admirable. It is admirable.We need to cultivate and spread this culture. It is a civilization that is quickly disappearing. It's a culture we're rapidly erasing. Loyalty is unconditional.Others decide to relocate when things start to go wrong. But you remained where you were. This spirit of loyalty should be imitated.We must recognize that a party can only have one leader at any given moment. As the party's leader, "I appreciate the responsibility placed upon me and it is my obligation to work toward the collective and individual welfare of our members."

In order to realize the party's goals and fight for the socioeconomic growth of the state, he asked all members to put the past in the past and move forward. I greet you today with the same delight that the prodigal son's father in the Bible felt when his son found his way home."To those who are joining us, please let us show a feeling of loyalty. To those who did not leave, please let us accept our brothers and sisters back.

You will be completely integrated, I can tell you of that," Abiodun remarked. Yemi Sanusi, the State Chairman of the APC, said during his speech at the event that conflicts are inevitable in all human relationships. "Even in a time of war, there is always a place for peaceful settlement of the conflict," he remarked, asking the returnees to completely integrate with other party members. Derin Adebiyi, the group's leader, said that everyone in the group had decided to rejoin the "mainstream" in order to advance both the party and the nation as a whole. We appreciate being welcomed back, and we thank the governor and party members," he stated.

Some have already called for Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea, to be replaced since there is increasing pressure on him to improve performance at the club.

In the past year or so, there have been a few false starts when it comes to Chelsea beginning a new era of domination in the Premier League. Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter may have had high expectations after the takeover a year ago, but neither would remain in the hot seat for very long. Bruno Saltor and Frank Lampard's interim managing assignments did not result in an improvement in form, so when Mauricio Pochettino was recruited in the summer, there was some hope that things may improve.

While building a winning run at PSG, the Argentinean coach has a history of creating attractive, young teams with Southampton and Tottenham. It's fair to argue that Pochettino's start at Stamford Bridge has not been perfect, despite some excellent performances. The results haven't quite lived up to expectations due to a nearly full roster of injuries, frequent arrivals, subpar finishes, and questionable judgments. With five points lost from their first six league games, the heat on the head coach has increased after only a few games. There have already been some calls for a management change, and there have been early indications of unhappiness within the fan base.

Mauricio Pochettino, the head coach of Chelsea, has said that the team's owners are unhappy with the season-opening performance of his squad and has urged them to back the endeavor. He added, "Give me time because I didn't see them [the owners] after the game," when asked about the loss to Aston Villa. They are disappointed since they were eager to start a project when they arrived at the club. They are naturally dissatisfied, but they must nevertheless support the strategy.
