Security will be uppermost in the minds of both the league and fellow clubs when considering El-Kanemi’s application. The Boko Haram jihadists view sport as un-Islamic. But the club and its supporters point to the return of businesses and trade as a sign the situation is changing in Maiduguri, where Nigeria’s military high command is now based and troops patrol the streets. “Even when they (Boko Haram) were in Maiduguri we played successfully without any hitch... Nothing bad will ever happen in Maiduguri Stadium,” said club chairman Mohammed Zanna. The return of football would also send a powerful message about the success of the counter-insurgency, he added. It would be a relief, too, for hard-pressed fans, who were forced to travel up to 10 hours just for a home game at neutral grounds, risking insurgent attacks and ambushes along dangerous roads. The head of the El-Kanemi Supporters Club, Isa Abdullahi Awala, said football has been a way of getting through the horrors of recent times and looking to the future. “It brings us together... to forget everything that’s happened because we love our team,” he told AFP. ‘Legend’ kanu helps gunners land Naija stars Arsene Wenger – pictured alongside Kanu and flanked by new signings Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze – fended off stiff competition from Manchester City and Bayern Munich to land the prized duo, who impressed for Nigeria during their Under-17 World Cup win in Chile. On hand to greet the pair was former Gunner Kanu, who has just been named among the 48 top footballing legends in the world by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics. Now 39, Kanu played for the Super Eagles between 1993 and 2011. He also captained the U23 team to Olympic gold in 1996, when Nigeria became the first ever African country to win an Olympic footballing gold, beating Argentina and Brazil along the way. Meanwhile, West Ham have signed Nigeria centreforward Emmanuel Emenike from Fenerbahce on loan for the rest of the season. “I have always known West Ham as a great club. I have always been watching them. West Ham’s a great club and I am very, very happy and very, very excited that I am here,” Emenike told West Ham TV. On Sunday January 31 members of ICSN (Igbo Cultural and Support Network) were in Victoria Park, East London, to take part in a 5km fun run. The intrepid runners, (l-r) Natalie, Chioma, ICSN Network Director Chinedu and Ijeoma braved the pouring rain to raise money for AMURT. See page 3 to support their fundraising. ‘INsaNE’ roW IsoLatEs oLIsEh Members of the Nigerian Football said that he was working hard to ensure that Federation’s (NFF) technical committee the wise men rescind their decisions. He have resigned en-mass in response to the added, “It is true that they are not keen to recent criticism they received from Super work again but I am prevailing on them to Eagles’ head coach Sunday Oliseh, who think twice because of their love and passion called several of them ‘insane’. for the game and patriotism for the country. Oliseh has come under fierce criticism lately "They cannot be treated with levity. They after the home-based Eagles crashed out of the are heavyweights on their own and they are Championship of African Nations (Chan) not paid a dime for their services.” tournament recently held in Rwanda in the group stages. He subsequently hit back at his critics in a Youtube video, calling them ‘insane’ for calling for his sacking, saying Chan was not a major priority. Following Oliseh’s outburst, football fans have criticised him further, saying he ought to have shown more restraint and accept criticism in good faith. In response, Oliseh has accepted his error and written a letter of apology to the NFF chairman Amaju Pinnick. However, members of the technical committee, who Oliseh appeared to have been referring to in his Youtube have decided they will no longer work with him. All to have resigned are former Super Eagles; Christian Chukwu, Paul Bassey, Victor Ikpeba, Mutiu Adepoju and Garba Lawal. They apparently were unhappy about what they described as the mishandling of the Sunday Oliseh’s case by Mr Pinnick. After Oliseh’s outburst, the NFF had referred the case to the technical committee to recommend sanctions against the outspoken coach. After exhaustive deliberations and arriving at a decision, the committee was apparently disappointed that Mr Pinnick jettisoned their report. Mr Pinnick took the matter to the youth and sports minister Solomon Dalung, who saved the embattled coach by asking for a second chance for him. One committee source said, “The committee recommended for his outright dismissal after they agreed that he had violated his contract.” Chris Green, the chairman of the technical committee, confirmed the development but Mr Green conceded that the technical committee has not had a smooth relationship with Oliseh after the coach said he had nothing to do with them when they queried him following a dismal outing in Chan. at the time of going to press, it was announced the NFF is to fine Sunday Oliseh US$30,000 over the incident. Mr Oliseh had not responded to the sanction. ARE YOU WARM, PATIENT AND ENTHUSIASTIC?
