COACH Siasia called King­sley Sokari, to the Dream Team ahead of the decisive final.


COACH Samson Siasia has recalled hot-in-demand combat midfielder, King­sley Sokari, to the Dream Team ahead of the decisive final round, return leg of the Africa U-23 Championship qualifying fixture against the Red Devils of Congo in Pointe-Noire on August 2.
The Enyimba Interna­tional play maker who has been a recurring decimal in three of the national teams; U-20, U-23 and the Super Eagles lately, was dropped from the squad that defeat­ed the Congolese side 2-1 last Sunday in the first leg encounter at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, for reporting late to camp from Tunisia where he went to tidy up his move to Esperance.
Coach Siasia, accord­ing to the NFF’s website, sounded a note of warn­ing to all players given permission to travel after the team’s first leg game against Congo in Port Har­court to report unfailingly to camp yesterday or be axed.
Meanwhile, the NFF had assured Coach Siasia and the Super Falcons head coach, Christopher Dan­juma, of maximum sup­port in their quest to ensure Nigeria’s qualification for both the Men and Wom­en’s football events at next year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
With last Sunday’s slim 2-1 victory over the Red Devils, the Dream Team needs a draw in Pointe- Noire to qualify for the Af­rica U-23 Championship in Senegal where the top three teams at the end of the tour­nament will represent Af­rica at the Olympics.

To be eloquent is to speak well in a persuasive and deeply thoughtful way. Though it appears to come easily, eloquence does not often come naturally. The most talented speakers often have training in rhetoric and behavioral psychology. Here are 10 great examples of eloquent speakers who have made their mark on the world. 1. Martin Luther King, Jr “I Have a Dream” is perhaps the most powerful speech in American history. In poetic, unequivocal language, he explains how people can live up to their ideals for the sake of their children. 2. Abraham Lincoln In a speech only two minutes long, Lincoln explained the moral justification for the Civil War in his Gettysburg Address. 3. Winston Churchill In a few short years Churchill transformed himself from a burly, unemployed, failed novelist to a leader of the free world with ...
