The Super Eagles captain signed a short-term deal with the Smoggies in January after leaving Chinese Super League side Tianjin Teda.

I was about to bring that up. I was thinking he could go to China. But then I realized he is a China has-been. Maybe the backwaters of Turkey. Let us hope he hasn't plied his trade there. If all else fails, he could try (Ibadan shooting stars, Abiola babes, Bendel Insurance...heard these club names in H.S) or Enyimba as a last resort. As they say , east or west home is best!! He could retire in Niger and watch his grandkids play.

"It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."
