If English man Glen Hoddle had ended up as the technical adviser of Nigeria senior national team -the Super Eagles instead of the Swede Lars Lagerback the agent of Chelsea midfielder John Mikel Obi John Ola Shittu would have ended up with a cool $500,000 in his pocket according to The Nigerian Tribune
The Nigerian Tribune reported that Ola Shittu was so miffed that his man? Did not get the Nigerian technical adviser job /or better still …..Miffed he was going to lose out on a big pay day …..500,000 big ones….. He concocted that some members of the interview panel had demanded a kick-back- from who exactly…..not that they are saints anyway - which led to an embarrassing wild goose chase by Presidential Task Force (PTF) Chairman, Gov. Rotimi Amaechi,
According to Tribune sports investigations, Gov. Saraki and Shittu went to the PTF Chairman to complain that the British coach was 'robbed' which led to an investigative panel that looked into the allegations which were found to be baseless and malicious.
Revelation further showed and described the player agent as an interloper and a confusionist who had smuggled himself into Hoddle’s camp like the thief in the night wanting to be a part of the team that would benefit from Hoddle's financial gains from the contract with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
He would have pocketed the sum of $500,000 for being part of the Hoddle team.
Ohhhh …..it gets better …….see how he gets into the Hoodle train

AND MAN U'S NEXT BIG THING AFTER CR7 IS ..IS ........
I actually got the headline from a respondent on my morning radio show on Brila FM .
I thought with “80 million big ones” the most successful premiership club in England (shut up Liverpool when was the last time you one a trophy) the red devils would have the common sense to at least splash come up with a new super star signing that would take away the pain of the fans, the hurt of the gossip magazines in England, the feeling of loss of the entire prostitutes community and not to forget the 'I love to tell while you watch me with no clothes' nude models ,with Cristiano Ronaldo joining Florentino Perez the alien from another galaxy with no regards to the current economic crisis
.
So Michael Owen is now Man. U player after surprisingly passing his medicals ….great when next I need to do a great PR for my self to get a new job I will make a 35 page glossy brochure instead of a C.V ….HEY …it worked for Owen

AMODU IS EITHER A GENIUS OR.......
Amodu is either a genius or…….
I have to be careful here because as a student of history I have discovered one thing geniuses, prophets, messiahs, great leaders, fools, megalomaniacs, and egoistic idiots in public positions who have the opportunity of getting the attention of a mob/crowd, have in common. This is the singular ability to go against the norm in reasoning, speech patterns, behavior, and lifestyle.
And then this singular characteristic as history will have it endears the people into a sycophantic follower ship wherein they are worshipped, heralded as greats, even deified or in other case they generate hatred and mistrust so deep that these ones end up being sometimes killed, or scorned for generations and then in the end become reference points for the generations, but what ever the case they make it to the history books.
Now with that in mind I leave my readers to judge for themselves the place of Amodu Shuaibu in the soon to be written annals of football history on the road to the world cup -South Africa 2010.
When asked by the always nosy Nigerian sports press about the friendly game between the super eagles of Nigeria which he is the head coach and the reggae Boyz of Jamaica -a match which was judged by 150million Nigerians who for God knows why think they understand what the technical intricacies of watching a football match is all about as lack luster, boring, uninventive ……… I could go on and on…....
Amodu showing the characteristic I so aptly illustrated in the first paragraph laughed mockingly and asked if it was the same match they played in London that Nigerians watched.
“I wonder if it was the same match we played that you people watched. That match, to me, was fantastic in terms of ball possession by the Eagles. I am happy with their performance in that match”,
Oh it gets better Amodu continues
“Perhaps you wanted us to win. I was more concerned about cohesion and their passes. And I got it because the boys played fantastically”
And he ends with flourish that would make a novelist happy
“Jamaica had nothing to lose and they put everything into the game. We were careful but against Mozambique, we will play smooth or mechanical to win the match. It is a match that we must win and all the players are aware of the importance of the World Cup to them and to Nigerians.”-vanguard
Now back to title of this article SHUAIBU AMODU is ether a genius or………….
I leave that for you to decide

FOOTBALL --AHH TOO EASY- I SLEEP TO WIN
Have u ever wondered what the special one dreams about when sleeping Jose Mourinho:
I am greatest manager alive. I can sleep through match and still manage my team to victory. I will dream now of Chelsea begging me to return. To save them from their misery. Abramovich will kiss my feet and I will laugh like this: hahahahahahahahaha! Then I will eat a sandwich, because I like them very much. There should be a sandwich named The Jose. It will have ham and cheese and pickles and duck meat and horseradish and wasabi and chocolate. It sounds disgusting but because it carries my name it is delicious. All right. That is enough thoughts. I will sleep now. Wake me when I win more trophies
