Keshi must do a rethink on Osaze, others – Umeh

By

First Vice President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Chief Mike Umeh has blamed Super Eagles chief coach, Stephen Keshi for the team’s poor showing at the Confederations Cup in Brazil.

Umeh told Sports Vanguard that  the absence of “big boys” in the team caused their defeats to Uruguay and and Spain.

“We played well but our attack failed us. Keshi need to get stronger boys and we have them. I don’t know why he has refused to bring in Osaze,” Umeh said, with a tinge of frustration in his voice.

The NFF chieftain said the football house has always given Keshi a free hand.

“Yes, we have always given him freedom to operate, but he must work closely with the technical committee.”

Chief Umeh said there was nothing bad in Keshi building a squad for the future but that must be done gradually.

“It is clear he took a young squad to the Confederations Cup. The young players, particularly the home  based players need to be introduced gradually.

They need to be polished. You saw how Mikel played. He played very well because he is a big boy who was playing among his contemporaries.

He has played in the biggest league and is experienced like the Spanish and Uruguayan players. That is why Keshi must do a rethink on the likes of Osaze and other experienced Nigerian players.”

Microsoft Is About To Leave One-Third Of All Computers Vulnerable To Hacking

By
Hundreds of millions of computers running everything from ATMs to the power grid will be vulnerable to hacking next month when Microsoft stops supporting its old Windows XP operating system. Hackers have been holding onto flaws in Windows XP and waiting to exploit them until after the software giant stops issuing security updates on April 8, experts say. Adam Meyers, vice president of intelligence at Crowdstrike, a cybersecurity firm, said it was “fairly dangerous” to continue using the 12-year-old operating system because after the deadline “victims can’t defend themselves.” “I certainly wouldn't run Windows XP after the 8th," Meyers said in an interview. Microsoft announced six years ago it will no longer provide security patches or technical support for the out-of-date software. Yet about  one-third of computers  around the world -- or about 500 million PCs -- still run Windows XP. On Microsoft’s website , a clock ticks down to next month’s Windows deadline an...
