Super Eagles Captain Calls For Peace In Plateau State—-Ahmed Musa, Super Eagles captain, has appealed for peace in Plateau following recent attacks in the state.

It was reported that gunmen killed a number of persons in a recent attack in Kwahaslalek village, Mangu Local Government Area of the state.

Musa who is in Côte d’Ivoire with the team at the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) wrote on his X handle, calling Nigerians to live in peace.

“Dear Plateau Family and Nigerians as a whole, Our state is hurting, and we need to come together. The fights, the killings– it’s too much.

“We are all one big family, no matter our religion. Most families in Plateau have both Christians and Muslims.

“We should be celebrating our differences, not fighting because of them.

“ Let’s ask our leaders to focus on what really matters: keeping us safe and bringing back the peace we once had.

“Plateau used to be known as the Home of Peace and Tourism. We want that back. So, let’s stand side by side, no matter our religion.

“Hold hands, pray, and ask for peace. We can do this if we all work together,” he wrote.

Nigeria finished second in group A with seven points and will face Cameroon in the Round of 16 on Saturday.

Chelsea Starboy Cole Palmer Emerged As PL Player Of The Month Of September—-Cole Palmer has been voted the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for September 2024.

Palmer led the Premier League for both goals and goal involvements last month. In four appearances he scored five times and got an assist.

Incredibly, four of his goals came in one devastating 21-minute period against Brighton & Hove Albion, as he became the first player in Premier League history to score four times in the first half of a Premier League match.

In addition to that incredible display against Brighton, Palmer also produced an assist in a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace and a goal in a 3-0 win at West Ham United.

Palmer wins the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award for a second time, with his first coming in April 2024. It means he has won two of the last three available awards.

The 22-year-old topped an eight-man shortlist after the public’s votes on the EA SPORTS website were combined with those of a panel of football experts.

Palmer, who has already started October with an assist in a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest, will look to add to his league-leading tally of 11 goal involvements this season when Chelsea return to Premier League action against Liverpool on Sunday 20 October

Chelsea Gaffer Enzo Maresca Emerged As PL Manager Of The Month Of September—-Enzo Maresca has been named as September 2024’s Barclays Manager of the Month.

Maresca wins the award in only his second month as a Premier League head coach after leading Chelsea through the month unbeaten, winning three matches and drawing the other.

After a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, Maresca’s team got back-to-back away wins against AFC Bournemouth and West Ham United, before finishing the month with a 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Chelsea scored a competition-high nine goals across the month. Maresca says the team’s form is credit to everyone at the club and not just him.

“We had a very good month,” he said. “We all need people around us to make things better. I’m very grateful to have all of them [his staff].

“We are always looking at new things and how we can improve from different football and different countries.”

Maresca becomes the first Chelsea head coach to win the award since Thomas Tuchel, who claimed it in October 2021.

The 44-year-old topped a five-man shortlist that included Mikel Arteta, Unai Emery, Marco Silva and Arne Slot, claiming the award after votes from the public were combined with those of a panel of experts.

It also makes it a September awards double for Chelsea, after Cole Palmer was voted the EA SPORTS Player of the Month.
