TB Joshua: YOU CAME, SAW, AND CONQUERED- Solomon Dalung Pens Glowing Tribute

Former sport MInister, Solomon Dalung has penned glowing tributes Over the death of Prophet TB Joshua.

Solomon Dalung expressed sadness over the demise of the internationally acclaimed Prophet, TB Joshua. He revealed his encounter with TB Joshua.

Prophet TB Joshua, The news of your home calling came to me with mixed feelings as a believer. Spiritually, I was comforted that you have concluded your mission and called to glory but humanly it was sad news.

Man of God, I never knew you from Adam and was not an apology of your style of preaching, but when I was appointed as Minister of Youth and Sports Development, you invited me barely three months into office. I received the invitation with skepticism. However, I honoured it. On arrival, I was well received into your private family living room. After a while, you emerged from your room to joined me. I couldn’t reconcile my perceptions with the impression of your personality. You were humble, simple, and amazing.

After the exchange of pleasantries, you told me that when you watched me inaugurated in khaki and red beret, you screamed that another scammer had been appointed as Sports’s Minister. Shortly after that, the media started attacking me left, right and center even when I have not settled down. Then you said God told you that you should invite me because I am a good man who meant well for Nigerian sports. You also told me that President Buhari meant well for the country, he is also honest and a man of Integrity. You encouraged me to continue to stand with the President, support him, and remain loyal to him.

You ended up the engagement with the following prophecies:

1. “The President was going to resist the devaluation of the Naira but undue political pressure was going to compel him to succumb,

2. The President was going to face serious health challenges to the extent that many may lose hope but he will survive it and emerge out of it stronger,

3. The President has a genuine interest in the country but his political enemies will frustrate him from realizing his well-intended mission,

4. The enemies of the President have constructed a cage which they intend to push him into it and lock. We must do everything possible to resist it because if we allowed it to happen, Nigeria will be in big trouble”

I was scared with these prophecies, I then asked you what then do we do? You responded to me that we should continue to pray for the President. You were generous to me, my accompanying aides, and my security details. We left your house late in the night full of amazement.

When the devaluation of the Naira economic crisis started, you invited me to your house and reinforced your prophecy which came to pass. And when the President took ill and was flown out of the Country you invited me again but this time assured me that he was going to get out of it stronger. You asked me to organize people to pray for the President, which of course I did.

Our relationship kept growing stronger every day until your final call to heaven. You were so kind, charitable, and exceptionally generous to me and humanity. Your passion for sports is justified by the level of investment you made into this sector. At any given opportunity you were there to assist whether personally or supporting sports program.

Your encouragements, support, counsel, advice, and reprimand contributed enormously to my success as a Minister. You were a charismatic spiritual father whose ambition was to practically preach and touch the lives of the common people in accordance with the great commission. While others are preaching prosperity, you were focused on the well-being of the people.

You exemplified Christ in everything you did, everywhere you went you left an indelible impact on the lives of the people. Your peaceful passage, Prophet TB Joshua, after service on the mountain left me with the greatest consolation especially your last words, “there’s time for everything, a time to come to church and time to go home after service, so watch and pray”…….

Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord until we meet to part no more, Prophet TB Joshua.

Adieu, man of God, Prophet TB Joshua, you came to this sinful world, saw everything and you conquered. Good night my dear brother.

Atalanta slam €70m price tag on Lookman

Atalanta have set a €70m price tag on Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman.

The Bergamo-based club are willing to let the forward depart this summer, but only if their financial demands are met. The asking price is similar to the fee they received from Manchester United for Rasmus Hojlund in 2024.

Lookman, who joined Atalanta from RB Leipzig for €10 million in 2022, was instrumental in securing back-to-back European qualifications for the club. His standout performance came in the UEFA Europa League final, where he netted a historic hat-trick against Bayer Leverkusen, becoming the first player to achieve this feat in the competition’s final.

CalcioNews24 reports that Atalanta’s €70 million valuation is non-negotiable, and they are prepared to retain Lookman if their demands are not met.

The Italian club’s stance mirrors their approach with Hojlund, whom they sold to Manchester United for €73.5 million last summer, despite the Danish striker scoring only nine league goals in the preceding season.

Lookman ended the season with an impressive tally of 26 goals across all competitions. This prolific form has caught the attention of several top European clubs.

According to reports, Barcelona, Juventus, and West Ham are among the clubs interested in acquiring Lookman’s services.

The Super Eagles forward is no stranger to the Premier League, having previously featured for Fulham, Everton, and Leicester City.

Nigerian coaches not good enough for Eagles job – Abdallah

Nigerian coaches not good enough for Eagles job – Abdallah

Former Super Eagles assistant coach, Usman Abdallah, shockingly stated that no Nigerian coach is good enough for the managerial role of the country’s senior men’s national team, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Abdallah’s assertion comes after the Nigeria Football Federation announced it was considering hiring a foreign coach following the resignation of Finidi George last month.

Of the 27 coaches that had managed the Eagles since its inception, 10 were Indigenous coaches, with Finidi the last to take charge of the team.

The Eagles have been without a head coach since the former winger resigned in June

Finidi quit his role as head coach of the three times African champions following the NFF’s announcement that they would appoint a foreign technical adviser for the team.

The decision came after an outcry by the football-loving populace following the team’s poor performances, including a shock defeat to Benin Republic, in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers last month.

As the federation continues its search for the next coach of the team, with reports indicating officials of the football body had approached Portuguese Jose Peseiro for a possible return, while also considering Frenchman Herve Renard, Abdallah, who served as an assistant coach under Peseiro, isn’t bothered his comments will stir the hornet’s nest.

He insisted the Indigenous coaches weren’t good enough for the job.

“It doesn’t bother me whether the NFF is considering bringing Jose Peseiro back or if they want to hire Hervé Renard as the Eagles coach as long as they can afford to pay their salaries,” he said.

“The issue is, I have heard people say they don’t want us to spend money on the foreign coach but show me a coach qualified for the Eagles job who is a Nigerian whether home or abroad. The fact is we don’t have it.

“The only person we have is Salisu Yusuf, who a lot of people don’t want because of what happened in the past, but I don’t want to argue about that. Nigerian coaches have always been serving as assistants and none of us can argue that we were better than those we’ve worked with.”

However, the former Enyimba gaffer frowned at NFF allowing foreign coaches to bring along their assistants with them.

“Appointing Peseiro or whoever is no issue, but why allow them to come with their assistants when some of us have always been named?

“How do we tap from their experience and grow to become the national team coaches? This is the mistake the federation has always made, and they need to correct that.”
