Kalu backs foreign coach for Eagles

Former Abia State Governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu has thrown his weight behind plans by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to hire a foreign coach for the Super Eagles.

Kalu, under whose tenure Enyimba International FC of Aba became an a household name by lifting the prestigious CAF Champions League trophy back to back in 2003 and 2004 also insists that Nigeria can bid to host the 2015 nations cup.

Speaking on African Independent Television (AIT) sports program yesterday, Kalu declared his preference for a foreign manager for the Eagles, even as he advised the Amaju led NFF to search for a Serbian or French tactician.

The former Pillar of sports expressed optimism that despite the precarious position Nigeria had found herself in the AFCON 2015 qualifiers log, the African Champions are capable of picking the ticket for the tournament billed for next year.

“I support the NFF decision to hire a foreigner for the Super Eagles,but he should be employed as the Technical Adviser with a Nigerian as Chief Coach.It would be nice if they can get any good Coach from a Serbian Country or even France.

“ Amodu Shuaibu, used to be one of my Technical Advisers in Enyimba who had a good relationship with the players.So I believe it is possible to qualify with two matches left.

“With Amaju Pinnick’s tolerance and understanding of the game, we should be able to make it to Morrocco.

Kalu revealed that on several occasions, he had advised Stephen Keshi to mend fences with his players in the interest of the nation’s football.

“I had advised Keshi to recall the players he had left out of the team.Even if you are quarreling, it is imperative to accommodate them. Football is a team game, you cannot win alone. You cannot be right and everybody is wrong all the time. He refused to listen to anybody, though he is a great coach”, Kalu affirmed.

ART– AN EYE INTO ANOTHER WORLD

For some reason, I have always been a fan of the arts. The ability to create something from nothing, the ability to bring to life what was once but only a figment of one’s imagination to me, is to dare to rival the gods, if you believe in them. I consider the artist to be a gift to man to constantly remind him that he is possible of anything! This piece is more of a show than tell as I am certain that it would not be proper to write an article on art and tell more words than I show works. I have therefore had to steal from a friend, a classmate and most of all, a talented artist as I, myself, am not so gifted as to put up my works for display but still, I shall humour you eventually with my rendition of a popular cartoon that you may recognise if you grew up watching ‘Looney Tones’. Nevertheless, gift is not a necessity to appreciate beauty and the plethora of magna opera (The many great works). Mr Joshua Zirigbe (9β) is a Nigerian from Delta State and he has given us the opportunit...

THE FIRE ON 23 ROAD – FESTAC, LAGOS

A fire outbreak occured on 23 Road in Festac on Saturday the 14th, February, 2015 which is the popular Valentine's day. Jouleconcept's correspondent, Mr Juwah Awele covered the story and gave a report in form of an article about the occurrence. This can be read below: “There is fire in house 2! There were children locked inside the house…” those were the words of my elderly neighbour, Mrs A, returning from the scene of some ongoing tragedy. Immediately, my mother went for all our official documents she always keeps in a ready to go bag while, my father, brother and I set off in the direction of the blaze. On getting to the front of the close, T Close, we observed the residents of the first few houses on the left hastily withdrawing their belongings from their homes; stuffing generators, plasma TVs, gas cylinders and the works into the back seat of their cars. Some had already driven their cars away! Immediately, we realised the fire was coming from the next cl...
