APC gov candidate promises to use fraudsters’ potential

 The Deputy Senate President and governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Delta State, Ovie Omo-Agege, has promised to harness the potential of Yahoo Boys (Internet fraudsters) by engaging them in positive ways.

Omo-Agege made the promise on Wednesday during the party’s ward-to-ward governorship campaign in the Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State’s Onicha-Ugbo, Issele-Uku, and Onicha-Olona communities, ahead of the 2023 general elections.

He said, “The Delta State Government under Okowa has received over N2.8tn and another N340bn from President Buhari and went ahead to borrow over N400bn with no meaningful projects to justify the humongous amount the state has received.

“Today, all Deltans, including unborn children, owe Okowa’s reckless borrowing. So, because of that, we Deltans are resolute and have agreed that we are not going to allow Okowa to have a third term through Sheriff Oborevwori.

“We will harness the potential and ingenuity of the Yahoo Boys by engaging them in their best positive ways by asking them to develop apps, and the state government will be a shareholder. By so doing, we are creating employment for our children.

“We will intervene in failed federal roads and seek refunds because Deltans are the ones using the roads.”

Augustine Eguavoen Did A Fine Job As Super Eagles Coach

  By now it is no news to any Nigerian sports fan, that Augustin Eguavoen and his entire team have been relieved of their duties at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian National team. Most Nigerians are happy with this development, with some claiming that his immediate predecessor, Gernot Rohr would have delivered better results. However, a simple analysis of events will clearly demonstrate that Eguavoen did a fine enough job given the circumstances. I will attempt to undertake this analysis by demonstrating, first that Eguavoen has a better record than one might realize, and secondly by comparing the performance of his Super Eagles with that of Afcon winners, Senegal, and runners-up Egypt. When Gernot Rohr was sacked a few weeks to the Afcon, knowledgeable sportspersons decried the move, citing the difficulty any new coach would face in setting up the team to play to his own patterns. In analyzing Eguavoen, therefore, it must first be understood that the new boss was operating unde...
