Billyonaire: Hahahahaahaha, You never start! When the masses are scrambling on how to catch a night bus to their destinations, Amaechi is going to Press to re-enact how his Jet was grounded. Is he searching for love amongst the masses or the Presidency he cunningly runs parallel ? Your wahala never start. Learn from Sylvia and Alams. There are 2 entities you can not fight- The Gods and Government.

It will be a very sad story in fact a tragedy if Jonathan loses in 2015, I'll advise you and yours to start fasting and praying as a matter of urgency you better declare a 2 year long fasting and prayer starting from now so that Jonathan can win in 2015 because if he doesn't I know some people who are trained and vindictive a55 kickers will make life too difficult for him and his likes. Where are the post OBJ and post Yar adua politicians. The truth is Amaechi is and will always be a better politician than GEJ, where Amaechi is today he fought for it whereas GEJ was midwifed into ASO ROCK. I will give you one advice stay drunk while it last because we'll all be here when it all unfolds.

All you should have given her was just 1 d.i.c.k per time. No dulling brother all those theories exist only for nice guys and the last time I checked there are no nice guys left around here.

RIP Baba Obadare

Gradually we are getting to the level where we'll start confronting the big thieves, crime is bad but the defiance shown by these guys should send a clear message to the thieving class. Come to think of it, the guy has a valid point there.

Now this is a wooden advertisement of joblessness, really how bad can it get in this country?

SamConquer: Kudos To My Chioma. . .as u Decent u see as you get Husband Sharply. . .We Guys Knw Good Material We Only Choose To Play And Flirt With The 'Spoilt Material'. . .while We Marry The 'Original Material'. . .Happy Birthday ! ! !

So true, HBD Chioma

Two things I remember and smile to myself any time I reflect on them
1.)When I was younger I don't like beans at all, then she one day told me in Yoruba "eni ti ko ba je ewa ko ni lewa" meaning "if you don't eat beans you won't be handsome". God knows how I religiously took to eating beans thereafter. so funny. Somehow I grew up to be an handsome man. lol, like seriously.
2.)At a time when things were a bit rough for us she would always tell me "don't worry dadan lowo, waa lowo ni. ko si ohun ti enikeni lese si" meaning "to be rich is compulsory, you will be rich and there's nothing anyone can do about it" I'm not yet at my dreamland but trust me I'm operating at a rather higher level than most of my peers. It's a pity she's gone to rest too soon. Mummy mi I LOVE YOU DIE

TWENTY-SEVEN years after, memory of Africa’s laureate history came alive on Wednesday, as the first African Nobel laureate for Literature, Professor Wole Soyinka, repeated the feat as the first ever Obafemi Awolowo laureate.
Soyinka, who was honoured in 1986 in Norway as the first African Nobel laureate, was inaugurated as the winner of the inaugural Obafemi Awolowo prize for leadership by President Goodluck Jonathan, at an impressive ceremony organised by the Obafemi Awolowo Foundation.
Reacting to the repeating of history, Soyinka said he was simply benefitting from Awolowo’s largesse again, saying that “today’s event may yet make a Christian out of me – since, from my admittedly imperfect recollection of the Christian bible – somewhere, it is written: to him who hath, even more shall be given.
“Despite the numerous explications I have encountered from childhood regarding that problematic passage, I have never been at ease with its implicit inequity.
“Today, however, I am setting aside all such objections. I was a beneficiary of the liberal educational policy – at tertiary level - of the man whose memory we are here to honour, and now, today, I find myself recipient of yet another largesse, an inestimable honour at the hands - albeit posthumously – of that same sage. As a small return, therefore, in tribute to some of those qualities which, in varying degrees, many of us admired in him, such as the principle of forthrightness, I intend to be blunt.”
The event, which halted Lagos for the better part of the evening, had almost all the who-is-who in Nigeria from different callings, professions and political hues in attendance, with Vice-President Nnamadi Sambo representing President Jonathan, who described Soyinka as a worthy winner, adding that “Soyinka fits the award because he is imbued with leadership qualities that marked Awolowo out. It is also in tune with the transformation agenda of our government which recognises quality in leadership and service.”
Jonathan also recalled the roles played by Soyinka in the enthronement of democracy in the country and as the pioneer boss of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).
Harbour Point in Victoria Island, the venue of the event, was temporarily the place to be on Tuesday evening while the event, which started a few minutes after 4.00 p.m lasted, with the arrivals of dignitaries from all walks of life creating a spectacle in the high-brow area of Lagos.
The hall hosting the event was a beauty to behold, as leaders of government and giants in public and private sectors streaming into the beautifully-decorated hall to celebrate Soyinka, who was immaculately decked in simple kaftan-style outfit made from Aso-Oke fabrics.
As early as 3.00 p.m, the hall was already agog with gaily-dressed guests, while a stand-by band was belting sonorous songs in major Nigerian languages to reflect the nationalistic significance of the history-making event.
The rendition of the National Anthem was followed by the welcome speech of the Executive Director of the Foundation, Dr Olatokunbo Awolowo-Dosumu, who noted that Soyinka’s choice had been widely acclaimed, adding that what set the awardee apart from others was his doggedness and courage, among others, in fighting for the enthronement of democracy from his youth.
She further stated that the choice of Soyinka had brought the foundation closer to its mandate, which was mainly about building and sustaining leadership.
She, however, gave the last word of her speech to her father, Chief Awolowo, whose various speeches on the essence of ideal governance were relayed electronically to wild and sustained applause from the audience.
The chairman of the Award Selection Committee, former Secretary General of the Commonwealth of Nations, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, regaled the audience with the process that led to the history being made by Soyinka.
According to him, “the prize is established to encourage, recognise, reward and celebrate excellence in Nigerian leadership. It is awarded to a Nigerian who has demonstrated excellence in leadership and good governance, a Nigerian who has made relevant vital contributions within the country or abroad. The recipient could be a former head of government at various tier of government, a vice chancellor of university, community leader and a contributor to good governance and leadership through advocacy, such as a human rights activist.
“The prize comprises a medal, a certificate and a plaque, and it will be awarded every two years. The maiden edition is taking place today, the 6th of March, 2013 which is the birthday of Chief Obafemi Awolowo.”
Before Professor Emeritus, Olu Akinkugbe, also a member of the selection committee, was called to read the citation of the laureate, Awolowo’s life, times and leadership attributes came to life on the numerous screens adorning the event venue, with the audience appreciating what he represented in good governance, as different events that shaped his legend were relayed and a youthful Awolowo was seen espousing different mantra of good governance and purposeful leadership.
With Soyinka standing ramrod on the podium, Akinkugbe went down the memory lane by saying that the last time the awardee and him shared a stage was during a pugilist experience, the winner of which he was not ready to disclose; throwing the entire arena into a fit of laughter.
He noted that in the Western world, laureates were not always introduced, with only their names mentioned, because “they always carry names that say everything about them.”
He, however, went on to tell the audience about the Soyinka that he knew; the dogged human right fighter who he further described as “a man who lays claim to attributes that distinguished Awolowo. He has demonstrated what leadership is. He has, among others, led protests for worthy causes. A defender of the defenseless. A man who stands to be counted, an Ombudsman extraordinaire. The honour was so well deserved.”
At exactly 5.30 p.m, Soyinka cemented history of the Awolowo Leadership Award when President Jonathan, represented by Vice President Sambo, decorated him with the laureate medal.
A plaque and certificate were added to complete his “ordination.”
In the speech of the chairman of the Foundation, General Yakubu Gowon, he described Soyinka as “a living legend, who believes that we can all build a good society if we set our mind to it,” while lauding Awolowo as a leader with evergreen memorial.
He also said of the awardee: “At the risk of preaching to the converted, I will like to add that this award is a further challenge for him in the crusade for social justice, as well as excellence in scholarly pursuit.”
The hall, at that moment erupted into a celebration, with dignitaries cutting the award cake with him, as celebratory mood enveloped the hall which had in its belly the likes of former head of state, General Gowon; Governors Olusegun Mimiko (Ondo), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Rauf Aregbesola (Osun), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti) and Babangida Aliyu (Niger).
Other dignitaries included former Lagos State governor, Bola Tinubu; national chairman of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Chief Bisi Akande; Senator Biyi Durojaye, Senator Felix
Ibru, Chief Ayo Adebanjo; Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe, Chief Adekunle Ojora, Erelu Ojuolape Ojora, Mrs Kemi Mimiko, Chief Julius Adeluyi, High Chief Bayo Akinnola, Professor Tunde Adeniran, Chief Supo Shonibare, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo, Yinka Odumakin, Sola Ebisemi, Professor Ben Nwabueze, Jimi Agbaje, Chief Gani Adams, Alhaji Yerima and Tony Uranta.
The list also had Chief Demola Seriki, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu; the Olugbo of Ugboland, Oba Akinruntan Obateru, General Alani Akinrinade, Prince Bola Ajibola, Professor Akin Oyebode, Dr Bayo Kuku, Professor Jubril Aminu, Mrs Kofo Bucknor-Akerele, Bishop Bolanle Gbonigi, Dr Wale Oke, Chief Donald Duke, Daisy Danjuma, Bisi Olatilo, Segun Awolowo (Jr), top diplomats, captains of industry and traditional rulers, clerics, among others.

God knows I don't like narrow a.s.s girls, the two of them no make meaning to me.

nijanigga: Oloshi what did he say that was incorrect?
I don't know why so many garbage are born in Nigeria.

Bros I thought it was just me o,this guy is a typical illustration of garbage in,garbage out. Pathetic to say the least.

Yes, he got a yellow for the tackle and another yellow for the simulation making it a straight red,wtf was he doing on the ground even when the supposedly injured Arbeloa was already on his feet. All he should have done was to walk up to Arbeloa and say sorry which could have earned him a yellow rather he was simulating.nonsense

Finally no more noise from manure about being this and that at least in d 2013 UCL, to think manure could get served in rusty traford theatre of nightmare n forced to swallow d bitter pill of inefficient officiation brings some tns to mind #H. Webb, #M. Claternworefa.hah

Oh CP, you of all people should know better, going around without your security protocol is way out of line. RIP to you and quick recovery to the injured. All living/serving policemen do good because of the day of reckoning.

See wor wor, why wont they hate you? your wor wor too much na.

Na wa oo, 22 year old boy with so much energy and opportunities in his future.

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]This shows what poverty has done to your brain. Dude, Ladipo, Idumota, Balogun, ASPMDA, Alaba are not your usual retail street shops. These are markets where traders from other states of the Fderation as well as other African countries come to get their supplies. Most traders here are importers. A trader making 10 million naira turn over a day (NOT PROFIT) in those markets is very easy. I have been in the system so I know what I talk about.

When I was in Idumota (pharmaceutical wholesale), we had a lot of customers who regularly made individual purchases of more than 10 million naira mainly from Maiduguri (they serve customers from North East West Africa wey no get liver come Lagos), Kano, Sokoto, Onitsha, Chad, Niger, Aba etc. Those markets for whatever they are known for ie Idumota ( pharmaceuticals and articles), ASPMDA (new auto parts), Alaba (Electronics), Coker (plumbing and building materials), Ladipo (used auto parts) etc. serve the entire country and the West and Central African markets.

Well, if you don't believe that an average trader in those markets makes a turnover of up to that, ask any of your friends or relatives working in any bank branch located in any if those markets and he or she might be able to enlighten you.

I can't argue in the 100 billion naira aspect but 10 million naira for a trader in those markets is not exaggerated. Having said that, not everybody in those markets make up to that as some are what we call 'Ndi oso afia'- helpers who don't even own shops. Also note that you can make 10 million naira sale with less than 50,009 naira profit or even a loss.[/quote]You see I like it when people put things in proper perspective, in your first reply you said "carting away" that suggest profit. Also when I replied you I agreed that you can have a turnover(bearing in mind turnover is different from profit) of 10 million naira per day in some areas of business especially oil. I can't dispute these claims on the ground of turnover per day but suggesting that figure as profit is what I can't swallow a position you corroborated when you said " you can make 10 million naira sale with less than 50,009 naira profit or even a loss". This takes me back to my first point,someone who rakes in 10 million naira per day with a net profit of say 500,000 is still not in the picture you tried to paint as he has to pay for what he has sold and cater for the running cost of his business inside this 500k profit. See my friend this is just to let you know that the real mega earners out there are people who've got the opportunity to drink from the pot of oil in the Niger Delta(these set of people cut across all regions and tribes) and not what you tried to pass across earlier ,don't want to mention the word because you've actually come across as someone with a lucid mind. By the way try avoiding insults when passing your message across.

[quote author=Sunny_bobo]Dey there dey shit for polythene bag while a barely literate Igbo guy who had no access to the free education policy you enjoyed is carting away 10 million naira per day right there in your back yard.[/quote]Still funny, tell me does this your barely literate guy own an oil well? or does he run an oil business? because if he's into any of these two no big deal as oil business is a high turnover business. Even people with lucrative PSCs out there very few of them command such figures per day let alone your barely literate IGBO guy .I know there are a bunch of lucrative businesses out there but guy common you can do better. Smart up and stop living on fake perception it's harmful to your psyche.
