Nigeria midfielder Oghenakaro Etebo has sent social media into meltdown with his new club Stoke City fans applauding his performances in the World Cup in Russia.





Despite conceding an own goal in the 2-0 opening match defeat to Croatia in Kaliningrad on June 22, the 22-year-old, who made a shock move from Portuguese outfit Feirense to the Championship side Stoke in £6.3m deal on June 11, completed 93 per cent accurate passes, won eight duels and fired two shot on target, was named in the FIFA team for the first round of matches.





The former Warri Wolves star confirmed his class with another dominant showing in the Super Eagles' 2-0 defeat of Iceland at the Volgograd Arena on Friday.




Etebo, who formed a tripod with Wilfred Ndidi and Mikel Obi in Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr's 3-5-2 formation against the Nordic side, helped the Eagles break up play and drove the attack.





And some of the Potters fans, who are excited by their new mobile and energetic signee's impressive performances in the World Cup, are of the opinion that the Nigeria star is too good to play in their English second-tier club, who got relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season.




According to
Stokesentinel.co.uk , Etebo's representatives said the player, who was linked with Premier League sides Leicester City and Newcastle before making a surprise move to Stoke, will be "better off playing for a competitive team pushing for promotion from the Championship rather than one struggling near the wrong end of the Premier League."




However, some fans of his new club insist Etebo made a hasty move to the bet365 Stadium.
"Etebo is too good for Stoke," one of the fans Simon Jones wrote on Twitter.
"I can't believe we signed Etebo before the World Cup. Could be a absolute steal. #scfc," Wayne Adams wrote.
"Not only do we annoy championship fans we are also annoying some Nigerian fans because we signed Etebo and he's too good for us apparently – love it!!"
Mike wrote, "If we sold Etebo again before the season starts how much money would we get?"
"Stoke City signed Etebo for €7m. That's the best bargain in football's history," Fekir wrote.






Linda Benneth tweeted, "We will have a battle to keep Etebo at this rate! Hope we've learned about making a great contract! Stick with us – we'll be back in the Prem next season."





"Stoke going to be very good next year. Etebo looking like a top signing for #scfc," one fan wrote.
Meanwhile, Stoke praised the player for his showing the World Cup.
"Congratulations Etebo! Soaring with the Super Eagles!!," the club tweeted.

The APC had yesterday filed a motion at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja stating that Atiku is not a Nigerian.

Tribunal Upholds Elrufai's election as Kaduna Governor

September 09,2019 Kaduna Governorship Election Petition Tribunal Monday upheld the election of the State’s governor Nasir El-Rufai. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its governorship candidate, Alhaji Isah Ashiru filed an application seeking a recount of the votes cast during the March 9 election in the state. El-Rufai, a candidate of the All Progressives Congress, polled total votes of 1,045,427 to defeat Ashiru who garnered 814,168 votes. The petitioners, however, claimed that the poll was characterised by massive rigging, ballot stuffing, and violence in some parts of the state. But the chairman of the three-man panel, Justice Ibrahim Bako, said the petitioners were unable to prove their allegations of massive rigging and other electoral irregularities against El-Rufai, before the Tribunal. The tribunal also noted that Ashiru and his party did not have any factual evidence to prove INEC did wrong in returning El-Rufai of the APC as duly elected. The petition was therefo
