The coalition made up of 51 registered CSOs, in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, expressed disappointment at the manner the federal government was handling dissenting voices, opposed to the governance style of Buhari-led administration.

Just in = Nigeria Drifting Towards War – Prophet El-Buba Blasts Buhari General Overseer of the Evangelical Bible Outreach Ministries International (EBOMI), Prophet Isa El-Buba, has stated that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government is gradually worsening the prospects of unity and cohesion in Nigeria, stressing that the country “is already drifting towards war” due to certain tendencies, actions, and policies of the administration. He said because of the insincerity of those in power and because of the personal benefits they derive as the war rages, Boko Haram terrorism will continue until its perpetrators in power decide to end it. El-Buba disclosed this while addressing journalists in Jos, the Plateau State Capital, on the state of the nation. He maintained that it was regrettable that Nigeria has never had it so bad, citing the manner insecurity has spread across the land; the impunity that has characterised the operations of bandits as well as the impetus of herdsme

Neymar Must Speak Out to Force Barca Move : Pique Gerard Pique says any news on Neymar's intention to move back to Barcelona will have to come from the Paris Saint-Germain star himself rather than his former team-mates. The Brazilian has been consistently linked with a move back to the Spanish giants this summer, with Brazil star Neymar keen to leave Paris just two years on from his world-record €222 million (£200m/$249m) move from Barca. And while Barcelona have made it clear that they believe Neymar is unhappy with PSG, Pique says his friends on the Spanish side will not be offering any private information about his intentions of making another move. "Of course I talk to him, but he has to be the one to speak out," Pique told a press conference ahead of Barca's friendly with Napoli. "We have private conversations and I don't think it's correct to talk about them here. "He's a star on and off the pitch. We hope something will happ

  Rumour: Man Utd Consider Shock Eriksen Move Manchester United are considering a late move for Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen before Thursday's transfer deadline, as per reports. There has not been any direct contact between the clubs over a deal yet but United are still looking to sign a new midfielder after losing Ander Herrera to PSG earlier this summer. The Denmark international's potential move to Old Trafford is not dependant on Paul Pogba leaving the club and United currently expect the midfielder to stay. With just one year remaining on his contract, Spurs are prepared to sell Eriksen in this window and there were talks with Real Madrid. A deal did not materialise, however, with Real boss Zinedine Zidane indicating a preference to try to sign Pogba instead. Eriksen admitted earlier this summer that he "would like to try something new", but also left the door open to sign a new Spurs deal if he does not leave this summer.

  Spurs Favourites to Sign Coutinho😳 Tottenham are favourites to sign Barcelona playmaker Philippe Coutinho on a season-long loan, as per reports. The Brazil international is surplus to requirements at the Nou Camp and has been linked with several Premier League clubs. Coutinho enjoyed a successful six-month loan under Mauricio Pochettino while he was manager of Espanyol in 2012, scoring five goals in 16 appearances. It's understood few teams can afford Barca's £80m price tag they have put on the former Liverpool midfielder after they paid £142m in January 2018. Coutinho's arrival at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium would add credence to reports Manchester United are considering a late move for Christian Eriksen.

Tottenham Agree €70m Dybala Fee with Juventus✅ Juventus have accepted Tottenham's €70 million (£65m/$78m) bid for striker Paulo Dybala, as per reliable reports. The player is now set for talks with Spurs over contract terms as a move to the Premier League grows closer. The 25-year-old has developed into one of Juve's top players since his 2015 arrival from Palermo, helping the club to the Serie A title in all four of his seasons with the Bianconeri. Personal terms are yet to be agreed between Spurs and Dybala's camp. It is understood Dybala's image rights will be an obstacle in negotiations for the 25-year-old forward. Manchester United were keen to sign Dybala, but ended their pursuit of the Argentine forward due to his hesitance over the move and his agent's demands.
