Education / Re: Flogging Children In School And At Home: Good Or Bad? Whats Your Take? by McCoy91(m): 4:31pm On Jul 08, 2012 |
I don't think anyone is entirely right by saying flogging 'has made me what I am today'. Granted the positive effects cannot be disconted, there are quite a few neagtive ones. You see some kids who have experienced too much of it growing up to become timid or with other issues. Also, like someone pointed out, most of the touts on the streets were probably flogged all through their childhoods. There are several other ways of discipling children and not just always reaching for the cane. You need to see the way some parents lay into their kids 'out of love'. |

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Harry Redknapp Sacked As Tottenham Hotspur 's Manager by McCoy91(m): 1:17am On Jun 14, 2012 |
Harry Redknapp’s demand for a lucrative contract to take him past his 69th birthday has been rejected by Tottenham. Photograph: Dominic Lipinski/PA Harry Redknapp has parted company with Tottenham Hotspur after the chairman, Daniel Levy, refused to grant him the contract and assurances that he wanted. Levy has made Everton's David Moyes his No1 target to take over as manager. Redknapp's exit was settled on Wednesday night and a formal statement of confirmation from Tottenham is expected on Thursday. The 65-year-old reached a settlement on the final year of his deal, which is worth £3m, after lawyers from both sides met for discussions. An attempt by Spurs to lure Moyes is now set to begin. Moyes has 12 months to run on his Goodison Park contract and, despite several conversations with the chairman, Bill Kenwright, since the end of the season, he has yet to commit to an extension to his 10-year tenure. The 49-year-old plans to hold further talks with Kenwright as he seeks assurances over Everton's future and a transfer budget and, although that is likely to prove a source of frustration once again, he has no intention to quit the club this summer. That stance may change, however, if he receives an approach from Tottenham and they make it plain that he is their top target. There has been no approach so far from Tottenham to Moyes, who is on holiday in the US and is due to travel to the European Championship in the next few days. Roberto Martínez of Wigan Athletic also has his admirers in the White Hart Lane boardroom. Martínez was a candidate to succeed Kenny Dalglish at Liverpool, only for the Merseyside club to appoint Brendan Rodgers. Redknapp had gone on the offensive in recent weeks, appointing the agent Paul Stretford to handle his demand for what was effectively a new four-year contract and urged Levy to tie him down quickly in order to avoid unsettling the players. But Levy grew frustrated with Redknapp for a number of reasons, chief among them the disastrous finish to the season that he oversaw, which culminated in Tottenham missing out on Champions League qualification. Levy felt that Redknapp's courting of the then vacant England job was disrespectful to Tottenham and also led Redknapp to lose focus. When it seemed that the Football Association was likely to offer Redknapp the England job, the manager cooled on new contract talks at Tottenham and there was an argument over the high compensation figure that Levy indicated he would demand in the event of an official approach from the FA. Roy Hodgson, though, was appointed to the England job and he is leading the nation at Euro 2012 while Redknapp has been left to reflect upon a whirlwind change of personal fortune. On 11 February Tottenham beat Newcastle United 5-0 to move to within four points of the title pace and 10 clear of Arsenal and Chelsea in joint-fourth. Three days earlier Redknapp had been acquitted of tax evasion at Southwark crown court and, following Fabio Capello's resignation, installed as the favourite to succeed him as the England manager. He is now contemplating being without a job. Redknapp's suggestion about the security of his longer-term future being the key to that of the squad's leading players went down badly with Levy, who has made it clear that Redknapp's position was nowhere near strong enough to say such things. Redknapp's demand for a lucrative contract to take him past his 69th birthday was also dismissed, with Levy making it clear that he would offer him nothing of the sort. There was also the suggestion of conflict over Redknapp's prospective summer transfer kitty. It has added up to a vote of no confidence in Redknapp who took over from Juande Ramos in October 2008 with the team at the foot of the Premier League table, with two points from eight games and he lifted them to a fourth-placed finish in 2009-10 and a glorious Champions League campaign the following season. Last time out, though, the failure to qualify for Europe's elite competition represented the first backwards step of his tenure. Although Tottenham finished fourth, Chelsea's Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich saw them snatch England's final place in next season's competition. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jun/13/harry-redknapp-sacked-tottenham-hotspur?cat=football&type=article |

Politics / ...and The President Remains Quiet by McCoy91(m): 8:27am On May 13, 2012 |
An interesting write-up I just read on pointblanknews.com. A week old but of course still relevant: It is not just raining in Nigeria,it has started pouring. Pouring real heavy. Almost everything is going wrong and there seems to be no end in sight. To make matters worse our president is just carrying on as if all is well. Truth is,we have never had it this rough!This tough! Recently the house of representatives set up an ad hoc committee to look into the fuel subsidy management(which we have always suspected was rotten) .The committee just concluded its investigation and has since submitted its report. Boy,does it stink! They opened our eyes to the scam that has been going on at the top for years.#1.06 trillion was fraudulently paid out!A scam supervised by the NNPC and PPPRA supposedly government agencies. Independent and major oil companies 'hammered' from this scam. They just would not kill this Nigeria. They would not milk this cow called nigeria dry. Craziest of all the findings was the fact that #999 million was paid to unknown entities 128 times,amounting to #127.872billion within 24 hours on the 12th and 13th of january 2009.So somebody visited banks 128 times to pay in monies? This is sad,ridiculous and at the same time funny! We also found out that the actual amount paid out as subsidy was #2.5trillion as against the official figure of #1.3trillion,against the #1.6 trillion figure quoted by the accountant general and against the #1.7 trillion quoted by the CBN.We have always suspected they have been in it together. I commend the house of representatives for firstly appointing honourable Farouk Lawan to head this Ad hoc committee-believe me there was no better Man. Here is a man whose courage is in huge contrast with his height. One house member I have always respected. One Man I hold in high esteem.I knew he was going to do a good job. Honourable Farouk Lawan and his team did not disappoint. They did a thorough job. Atleast now we know that Okonjo Iweala,Sanusi Lamido Sanusi and Allison Dezieani Madueke were just on a mission- too have us all fooled. They must really think us so too. I must confess I was numero uno on that list(of those that were coned). In one of my articles during the fuel subsidy strike period,I had suggested the need to give the government a chance and a benefit of doubt.I actually came to that conclusion after watching Okonjo Iweala on AIT and how she emotionally defended the cause.How speedily infrastructures were going to be in place and all.Would you blame me,I just want the best for Nigeria.Boy was I dissapointed. Now we know that the fuel subsidy payments which increased from #261.1billion in 2006,to #278.8 billion in 2007,#346.7billion in 2008,#2.5trillion in 2009 and same in 2011 was as a result of corruption in the highest places and not all those crappy creepy lies Okonjo and co were feeding us.International crude prices?please! High exchange rate?Tell that to the birds.Increase in numbers of Nigerians and cars?Laugh out loud. We are in a period of scams and more scams.Somebody actually had the heart to steal people's future.I am talking about the Pension scam.There is another one brewing at the federal airport authority of Nigeria,where projects that were never provided for in the budget and programmes that never took place were actually funded.Where did the money go? Now I actually thought heads would have been rolling by now.Forget the refund!In other climes people would have been jostling for spaces in differnt jail cells all over the country.Some would have been prosecuted(China comes to mind).The president has been unneccessarily quiet.Infact the government I understand is trying to make us believe Farouk Lawan and his team made some mistakes!They must really really take us for fools. We have seen the light and there is nothing the government and his government can do about this.The chicken has finally come home to roost.Some of them even try to rob it in,that the committee was out to witch hunt.How can some unscrupulous,selfish,wicked,corrupt and heartless entities try to play politics with these findings.Telling us people were being targeted because of 2015 elections,when we already suspected these sleazes had been going on for years.We just needed proof and God bless Hon Lawan and his team for giving us just that. The president could not tell us who the corrupt cabal were pre(and post)subsidy strike,now that the wind has blown and we have all seen the romp of the chicken,why are heads not rolling?In other climes some of these entities who are still in government would have resigned.This can never happen in Nigeria and we all know that,so pray Mr president,why have these corrupt officials in your government not been shown the exit door and ofcourse prosecuted.I understand Deziani Madueke was in charged at NNPC when all the practices were going on. For a while now Nigeria has been Afghanistanized,no thanks to the Boko Haram.No day passes bye these days without a bomb detonating and killing people.All innocent people.Innocent people who just want to survive in this our God forsaken (?)country.Innocent people who find life so hard on a daily basis.Innocent people who do not care if boko haram wants western education whatsoever or not!Day in Day out we are left with sorrows,tears and blood from Maiduguri to the FCT. I was particularly close to tears when on my way to church last sunday I heard about the attack on a lecture theatre at the old site of the Bayero University,Kano.Faithfuls were attacked around 8:45am.Improvised explosives were thrown in the lecture theatre,those who attempted to flee from the scene were gunned down.Pheew!Professors Ayodele and Andrew Leo of the chemistry and library departments respectively, amongst others lost their lives.Now we are loosing our best brains. Boko Haram is taking the bold step of starting a war with the media.I don't think anybody has ever won a war against the media.Boko haram is even threatening to blow up more media houses(lives too ofcourse). The country is not safe anymore and the President is urging us to go about our normal business?Normal life?In the face of all these bombings?The president says we should not panic over the growing manace of violent terrorist activities.How nice.You know what,we do not want to go about our normal lives.No,we cannot.I mean how can we?Him,his cohorts and their families are safe,so can live normally.Out here Sir,we are not safe,and cannot live normally! I don't even know the presidents plan on how to curb this menace.its all talk. Today one hears the government is about to negotiate with them,the next day one hears the representative boko haram brought to the table is arrested.That's how we are going to end this? I do not support negotiating with terrorists,but if its going to bring an end to these wanton,unneccessary killings,then why not. I was watching Mrs Anniko Briggs on AIT recently where she said there was need for negotiations-Negotiations with boko haram,MASSOB,MEND,MOSOP,et al.Why not just put an end to all the grudges.Whatever would make for blood spills again.We need an end to all these because at the end of the day,its still us,the poor,suffering masses,that die!We just kill ourselves.Sometimes I just feel its a tool used by the elite to get rid of the poor. If he thinks negotiation is not an option,what's wrong with declaring state of emergency in the most affected states.Put someone in charge,give him resources as well as deadline to stop this menace. I am tempted to think that the president is confused.Enough Sir.Its time to stand up and do something before you are left with no people to govern!Please! The president has been quiet on issues affecting the masses since he came into office.Much has really not changed since he came in.Nothing to cheer about. Its all talk.Talk,about improving the power situation.Talk,about building railways to ease our sufferings.Talk,about building infrastructures.About giving us good health care facilities.About taking graduates off the streets by creating more employment opportunities.Infact one would be amazed by the number of graduates that roam the streets these days searching for none existent jobs. Talk,about building affordable houses,so people can have where to lay their heads.Talk,talk and more talk. President Jonathan would not be the first to be full of talks alone without action.We do not have any issues with the president talking.No be him get him mouth ni?We have been enduring and tolerating empty promises.One thing we have and are concretely holding on to is Hope.Hope for a better Nigeria. Can you,Mr president atleast act this once so we would not be wiped out by terrorists.We need to be alive,to realize this hope.Yes,and when I say terrorists,I mean both the ones that use bombs and pens! They are the same. |

Politics / Omisore - We'll Stop And Search Aregbesola's Convoy by McCoy91(m): 7:54am On Apr 23, 2012 |
A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has threatened to stop and search the convoy of Governor Rauf Aregbesola. The former lawmaker alleged that the governor was not using men of the State Security Service (SSS) for his security personnel. He addressed reporters in his Ile-Ife home at the weekend. Omisore said: “We will stop his convoy, search and remove all the arms his thugs are using. “It is unethical to use thugs as security. Aregbesola should explain why he goes about with thugs. During the last elections, he rigged with the aids of thugs, but this time round, we are ready for him. “Who wants to kill him? (Asiwaju Bola) Tinubu is more important than he is. He is a common radio technician. If Aregbesola does not trust the SSS, let him resign. We are going to stop his convoy and search him. “His action is an embarrassment. He is just one of the 36 governors; how can his case be different? Tinubu was governor for eight years, he did not use thugs as security. “Together with Aregbesola we were in the Alliance for Democracy (AD). We know ourselves very well. Aregbesola was just one of the thugs shouting outside when we held crucial meetings. If not for Justice Ayo Salami, whose judgment favoured Aregbesola and he is now paying for it by being at home wasting away, who knew Aregbesola?” The former senator said it was not an allegation that Aregbesola was training and using members of the Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme (OYES) to commit alleged electoral fraud. He vowed “to crush any OYES member found in any voting centre in the next elections”. According to him, the politics promoted by the PDP in the Southwest from 2003 to 2011 brought succour to the zone and would advance the Yoruba interest faster than the regional integration of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). But the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Sunday Akere, asked in what capacity Omisore would act, if he plans to stop and search the governor’s convoy. Describing Omisore’s outburst as a direct confrontation, Akere said: “We shall see how he will do that and get away with it.” The commissioner, who said no harm must come to the governor, noted that the former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige, was murdered despite the security provided for him by the government. He said: “If Omisore should be bold to say he would search the governor’s convoy, the whole world should note it. And we are demanding that no harm should happen to the governor. We don’t want to take him for granted.” Akere said the PDP was a bad loser for referring to OYES instead of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the superintendent of elections. He added that the PDP had performed abysmally. Source: http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/news/44103-we%E2%80%99ll-stop-and-search-aregbesola%E2%80%99s-convoy%2C-says-omisore.html |

Sports / Africa's Fastest Man, Olusoji Fasua Dumps Athletics For The British Navy by McCoy91(m): 10:38am On Feb 16, 2012 |
Africa’s 100 metres record holder Olusoji Fasuba has qualified as a recruit to join the British Royal Navy as a logistics specialist. Fasuba joined the Navy in May 2011 but had to take a 10-week initial naval training course and another 12-week professional course before getting his first posting within the logistics department at HM Naval Base Devonport. The Athens Olympics 4×100 metres bronze medallist toldThisIsPlymouth that he joined the navy because he wanted a more settled life for himself, his wife Ngozi and their seven-month daughter, Annabelle. Fasuba said, “I’ve had a very good career in athletics and been there with the big boys, but I was looking to the future and wanted to settle. My father used to work for the Nigerian Navy, so from a young age it was all about the Navy. Some of my friends are serving in the British Army and tried to persuade me to join, but for me it had to be the Royal Navy. Training has been my way of life for a long time. Growing up in Nigeria discipline is very strict, so that aspect of being in the Navy wasn’t really a shock to me. It was tough mentally sometimes and I did question myself about what I was doing, but ultimately I wanted to do it for myself and my family." |
