Mike Emenalo
Technical Director at Chelsea 2011 to 2017
AS Monaco Technical Director 2017 - 2019
Director of Football Saudi Pro League 2023 - 2026 (left the role after the expiration of his contract)
Get the guy, let him build an unfettered team to work with
Amaju Pinnick is part of the problem na him show Gusau how to catch fish
Segun Odegbami is Nigerian football Icon but no way
Kunle Soname- yes he owns Remo stars and beyond limits and I like what he has continued to do especially with Beyond Limits but I feel he is too close certain things that he may need to change and affect.
Seyi Olofinjana - high level scout but still a scout
MICHEAL EMENALO
(The Best Answer For Nigerian Football)
If Nigeria is serious about saving their football, the former Super Eagles player, Michael Emenalo who was sporting director at Chelsea and Monaco and these period coincided with both clubs best times.
He was the one that coordinated the Saudi Pro-League when it took off giving it the standard they have now.
If we’re serious, Michael Emenalo should be the next NFF Chairman and just allow him to totally rebuild our football from ground up.
Universal Health Coverage: Closing the Gap
Universal Health Coverage sounds like a government term until you understand what it actually means. Once you do, it becomes one of the most personal conversations in public health.
It simply means that every person should be able to access the healthcare they need without it costing them so much that they end up poorer for getting treatment. That is the whole idea. It does not necessarily mean free healthcare; it means the basic assurance that getting sick does not also mean getting financially destroyed.
Most developed countries have some version of this working. Nigeria has committed to achieving Universal Health Coverage by 2030, and the gap between that commitment and where we currently stand is still quite huge.
Over 70 percent of Nigerians still pay for healthcare entirely out of pocket. This means that when sickness comes, the family absorbs the full cost alone, with no insurance, no scheme, and no structure sharing the burden.
As of 2025, only 21.7 million Nigerians had one form of health insurance out of a population of over 220 million. That works out to roughly one in ten people, and those covered are overwhelmingly concentrated in the formal sector: government workers and employees of large companies. Meanwhile, the trader, the farmer, the artisan, the market woman, and the millions working in Nigeria’s informal economy remain largely uncovered.
The progress being made now is worth acknowledging.
As of July 2026, 22 million Nigerians are enrolled in health insurance, a 35 percent increase year-on-year, driven largely by the mandatory insurance policy the Federal Government has been pushing through MDAs and large employers.
That momentum is genuinely encouraging, and the direction is right. But 22 million out of 220 million is still only 10 percent.
And the real test of Universal Health Coverage is not enrolment numbers alone.
We need to know whether the insurance people have is actually protecting them, reaching the poor and vulnerable, and preventing medical costs from pushing families into poverty.
Private health insurance premiums in Nigeria rose from an average of ₦346,000 per year in 2024 to approximately ₦668,000 in 2025, driven largely by drug price inflation and the weakening naira. This means that even for people who want insurance, affording it has become significantly harder over the last twelve months.
A scheme that is mandatory in law but unaffordable in practice has a structural problem that no amount of enrolment targets will solve on its own.
This is why digital health platforms like SwiftMedix matter in this conversation—not as a parallel story, but as part of the bridge.
When Universal Health Coverage is taking longer to reach people than it should, the practical question is: what bridges the gap in the meantime?
What gives the informal-sector worker, the rural patient, or the person without employer-backed insurance access to a qualified health professional at a cost they can actually manage today?
The bridge is not supposed to replace UHC.
It is about preventing people from falling through the floor while the system is being built.

ARSENAL are on the verge of setting a Premier League record that may not be replicated anytime soon.
People called Arsenal “undisciplined.”
People said they were “too aggressive.”
People claimed they “always lose control.”
Yet after 35 Premier League games:
🔴 0 Red Cards
🔴 0 Penalties Conceded
That is not luck.
That is coaching.
That is mentality.
That is discipline.
For the last two seasons, Arsenal suffered some brutal officiating moments. Soft red cards, costly penalties, and every mistake became a headline used against the club.
But instead of complaining, Mikel Arteta transformed the mentality of this team.
This Arsenal side now plays with control, intelligence, and maturity. Aggressive when needed, but disciplined enough not to hand referees opportunities to influence games.
If Arsenal go on to win the league without conceding a penalty or receiving a red card all season, they will become the first English top-flight side ever to achieve it.
That is evolution.
That is standards.
That is Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.
And the scary part? This team is still growing.

Holding a Nigeria passport now, identifies you as a citizen of a lawless, fraudulent and corrupt country.
My dad was flying from NYC to Lagos last week, with a stopover in Morocco. At the airport his hand luggage was flagged for being over the recommended limit. He didn’t make a fuss and went on to reduce it.
The lady at the desk said the allowance was 6kg but Dad’s luggage was 9.5kg.
Whilst she held on to his Nigerian passport, my dad proceeded to taking more stuff out of his suitcase.
Meanwhile,the next desk had another passenger, a US citizen, who was flying on the same flight as him.
Dad noticed the guy’s luggage weighed 11.5kg and the lady was ok with it. He got mad and flagged it up, they couldn’t justify why the other guy was allowed.
Being a very blunt man, he asked the lady if it had anything to do with his Nigerian passport and the color of his skin? She felt embarrassed and did not reply him.
My Dad then brought out his own US passport(although she never asked him if he had another nationality) and told the lady at the counter she deserves to be fired.
He then proceeded to put back all the stuff he took out of his suitcase in the first place, making it 9.5kg and told the lady if she won’t tag his suitcase he would “deal with her”🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️(I don’t support any form of violence)
She tagged it and allowed him to proceed to the departure lounge.
Nigerians has always been dehumanized and victimized when you present a Nigerian passport because of corruption that has tainted our democracy.
Today, we have a government ran by the worst, least qualified and most unscrupulous citizens that wears the evil, manipulative gloves of greed and arrogance, forcing Nigerians into a red alert state of shame and embarrassment when they see that green passport.
-The cut runs deeper!
