Wike rewards Rivers United players

Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike has rewarded players and officials of Rivers United with a sum of N500,000 each for emerging second in the concluded NPFL season, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.



At a grand reception ceremony at Government House, Port Harcourt, Wike also said the team's head coach, Stanley Eguma, will take home N1m while other management staff of the club will receive N500,000.

He also donated a luxury bus to the supporters club of Rivers United to ease their transport problems.

Completesportsnigeria.com can also exclusively report that governor Wike gave the club a blank cheque for their 2017 CAF Champions League.

To ensure that the team win the continental trophy next year, Governor Wike approved an European pre season camping for Rivers United, mentioning specifically Real Madrid of Spain as their camping site.

"I'm a Real Madrid fan, I don't hide it. They are a club that always win trophies every season," Wike stated.

"It is either they win the La Liga, Cope Del Rey or the UEFA Champions League.

"So I've told you to prepare in the best way to ensure you won the CAF Champions League next year."

Wike was presented several awards by the club on the night as well as the supporters club for his support during the season.

He congratulated Imama Amapakabo for leading Rangers to a first league trophy in 32 years but stressed Rivers State has no plans to recall him.

"As far as I'm concerned, Rivers State won the first and second positions in the league.

"Friday night when I spoke with my Enugu State counterpart, I told him not to be afraid that we're not recalling Imama.

"For now he should be there until any time in future when we may want him," Wike.

Akanna Okeke: 6 Ways to Make People Like You

   I’ve been told numerous times that I am very likable and I have seen this for myself too.  Somehow, I just seem to obtain the favour of those around me; from bosses to teachers, to friends to colleagues.  I remember leaving my last job and there was a send off gathering where each co-worker was asked to say what they thought about me.  I got comments like: “He’s a politician”; “He’s in everybody’s camp”; “No, he’s smart and diplomatic. He knows how to please everybody and stay close to key people”.

Snoop Dogg Would Have Gotten “Jail Time” If – Trump

Donald Trump took aim Wednesday at Snoop Dogg, saying the rap star would have gotten “jail time” had he pointed his gun at Barack Obama rather than the current US president in a video. Snoop Dogg, an early figure in California gangsta rap who has mellowed in recent years, this week released a video pegged to the release of his album “Lavender” in which most actors are clowns. One clown — unmistakably a parody of Trump, sporting bouffant hair and a red tie that dangles below the waist — gesticulates wildly at the podium of “The Clown House.” The clown puts his hands up as if under arrest as Snoop Dogg draws a pistol, with a flag popping out that says “Bang!” “Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama?
