Fashanu who said he could not make any choice publicly being a member of the Presidential Task Force on football is hopeful that the technical committee of the federation and the board itself will put aside sentiment and make the right choice for the team. ”Both of them (Keshi and Siasia) are good and so selection will depend on exactly the type of person we need now. ”They are like Rolls Royce and Jaguar. Both cars are very good but there are still essential differences in details which will ultimately determine the one you pick. Both cars are very well engineered and can speed very well if you want to. They have quality interiors and external views something to behold but the Rolls Royce will give you a little more comfort on the road than the Jaguar. And so it is with the two gentlemen. ”One of them is older, more refined, softer and able to control his temper. He is able to listen more to criticism and take it in his stride. He is quite diplomatic. The other one is younger, not as refined and can be very temperamental and difficult to manage. “Nobody knows it all and so I believe that Nigeria needs somebody who has a listening spirit. In 1994 while picking Ian Porterfield for the Zambian job after the plane crash I sought for a person that suited the mood of the time and it worked out perfectly. Managing a team demands thorough diplomacy. Under this condition we need the comfort of a Rolls Royce,” Fashanu said.

This means that they will not have to rely on men to survive or meet their daily obligations. Furthermore, though it is the primary obligation of the husband in the Nigerian culture to provide for the needs of the immediate family, there is the need for married women to complement the efforts and contributions of men. In some cases too, there are certain needs of women that may not be provided for by men, especially when they are personal. While it is true that some educated women are actively engaged, so they can meet their financial obligations, there is still need for them to be prudent. This will ensure that even after retirement, they will be able to sustain their lifestyles, or at least meet their day-to-day obligations. To be able to do that, those who spoke on the issue suggested that women must be enterprising and endeavour to save and invest, while ensuring that they spend less on luxuries.

Proponents for now have been quiet. As a matter of expediency, that ambition is no longer attainable as the request for an extended time frame by the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct credible elections next year has become paramount. INEC will have up till April 30, 2011 to conduct elections into the various political offices, provided members of the National Assembly vote in support of the proposition next week. The issue is contained in the Second Alteration to the 1999 Constitution, which was laid before the Senate on Thursday. The amendment captured two crucial issues. The first is to determine an adequate time period within which INEC can conduct credible elections without exceeding the May 29 handover date. The second is to provide for the possibility of petitions arising from governorship elections to begin at the tribunal and terminate at the Supreme Court.
