Empredboy:
which drug accusation did he come clean? You think if NDLEA want to make a case against him they will accept private hospital report? If he is sure of himself let him publish general hospital health report then we will take him Serious

Even if he is taken to a government hospital, it will still be very difficult to prove. The detection window for hard drugs varies. For heavy users of cocaine, the maximum is about 3-4 weeks depending on the kind of test conducted. If TB is a casual user, it makes it even more difficult to detect.

Investigations carried out by Dumebi Ifeanyi, shows that Teebillz collected the money from a lady called Havana Mustapha who happens to be a cousin to the last daughter of General Ibrahim Babangida, Halima Babangida.

Nairaland!! Grammatically embarrassing us since 2014

EFCC this! APC that! The fact remains that 5 individuals shared 1.7 billion naira traced to the CBN. One person got as much as 840 million. Both the senders and receivers should be brought in to justify the withdrawal and account for the spending.

I too send dis gal

DrAda:
To the poster above me... I recently edited a fallacy I detected on wikipedia concerning the approval of a drug for a disease that has literally been banned for use. I didn't break a sweat doing it.

Don't mean to be rude but really, you guys, come on....I can't believe you all don't know that anyone can write anything on Wikipedia.

This exchange is not about one being able to write on wikipedia; any registered user can. I stated that moving from street-hawking to having a profile on wikipedia is commendable & I wasn't expecting any negative mention. Dr. Ada, u need all the info about an on-going discussion or argument before u can make a worthy contribution.

Sard:
How did you come about that myopic thought? Nairaland has lots of people, some of which are popular offline, so you can't just spew it out that only two nairalanders have wiki pages. BTW, what's special about Wikipedia page? Don't you know that anybody can set up a Wikipedia page? Learn more and talk less,bro.
@Congrats to her.. Wishing her the best in life jare.

Yea, anyone can set up a wiki page but you have to go through a rigorous approval process. First you must be a registered user with some activity under your belt. Then the page you are creating must pass a notability test by certified wikipedia editors & your sources have to be verified too. Don't make it sound as easy as sending a yahoo mail cos a page is either approved or deleted & it takes a while to move it from private to public space. So, take it or leave it, it's a rare feat for O.O. The 2 nairalanders statement was made for effect... and as for calling me myopic, it shows the level of maturity of some of u subtle haters.

Now, that's a rare feat. Only two nairalanders out of 1.5 million are profiled; Seun & lalasticlala.

Seriously, The Linda of a girl is really snooping so close to where she ain't suppose to. Wizkid missed it when he joined issue with her he would have sued her for defamation in d first place and that would hv been it. On the other hand, our celebrities shld also learn to take d bloggers the way they are because they are the same people that promotes them when they ain't as popular as they wish to and keeps them in d news.

Suing her for defamation will not be good for Wizkid's career 'cos he would have to prove that she published lies about him & might expose other negative stuff we don't know about. Wizy shud just ignore the bizybody and be wary of his cronies that snitched on him.

goldbim:
And who is danagog?no offence meant but the name sounds like a musical instrument ..#wakapass#.

Lol. The question shud be 'What is Danagog'?

This Kachikwu dude is not as smart as I thought. You don't make such definite statements about issues that rely on many factors. These our big men in govt actually need to come out and queue/ hustle for fuel so they can feel what we feel. He is fast building a reputation as a loose cannon.

Chioma Chukwuka!! My WC way back in the good 'ol days, wen she was drop dead Ohlalacious.

HBD to her.

There is no error there, but would agree if you say the tweet was not necessary.
Who cares who is being hosted?
What would have been important is the issue under discussion.

doctokwus:
Please point out the error,we all learn everyday.

Ride on

Happy 5th Birthday.

Olajumoke making front page since 2016.

I got mine for 11k I think. Had to wait abt 6 months for Xmas bonanza. Could not buy a phone for another 3 months.

I was a student then.

Na frustration de make person swallow panadol for anoda person headache.

@tolulakin
1. Would a bread seller look so good in a selfie?
Yes a common bread seller can equally be good looking. Beauty is not exclusively for the high and mighty. Again u shud have uploaded the selfie in question for us to see if the pic was enhanced. Ty is a pro.

2. All of a Sudden she becomes a Motivational speaker? No one ever said she has become a career speaker overnight. She was invited to share her story @Play-Forum Abuja, becos her sudden fame is motivational. Even the media reported that her English needs brushing up.

3. She was overdressed to be photobombing??
Irrespective of class or status, some people clean up and dress good. It's better to be prepared so you won't be found wanting when opportunity locates you.

4.Sujimoto and Stanbic deals? U forgot Payporte, CNN and other international media mentions. For the records, it's not out of the ordinary. The media created a buzz and she became a sudden sensation + her story/transformation is amazing, so it figures. Those corporations had to share in the euphoria and use her new found fame to project their brand and social image.

I don't think it was staged. TY is already celebrated in her field. She didn't need such a stunt.
I think Olajumoke is destined to shine. Every topic about her generates replies and controversy. Even you just used her to take a shot at front page. Congrats.

alanposh:
Am at pH n u

Okay. Where are you? My office mate too have not had. I'm tired of this network.

HBD lalasticlala LL&P

jic4real:
even the person the Photoshop was done for is now out of the picture...God is really awesome.

Olajumoke is unarguably the greatest beneficiary of the photo shoot. The exercise however, was not meant to make the subject popular as he is already an established international act.
Tinie Tempah is a British rapper, singer, producer & songwriter. He is a multiple award-winning music sensation worth over $3m. His father is Sonny Okogwu- A Nigerian Billionaire. So that makes Tinie Maryam Babangida's nephew.

Smart guy. He still made his 1st Class. Pls let's always verify info before posting it on a public forum. Remember the disclaimer 'every nairaland member is solely responsible for whatever he or she posts or uploads on nairaland'...meaning; if kasala bust, Oga Seun go deny u 3 times.

Nothing do dis gal abeg. No mata how one looks, h8az gona h8

February 14 has always been celebrated as Lovers Day for as long as I can remember. The nature of the celebration however remains a subject of debate. While majority feel you should profess or renew your love with your significant other, some schools of thoughts believe it has absolutely nothing to do with courtly love. The above prompted me to dig deep into the topic and here's what I found.

VALENTINE's DAY
Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine is an annual holiday celebrated on February 14. It originated as a Western Christian liturgical feast day honoring one or more early saints named Valentinus, and is recognized as a significant cultural and commercial celebration in many regions around the world, although it is not a public holiday in any country.

Historical archives make mention of at least three different individuals credited with the name of Saint Valentine (or Valentinus). The three discussed here were all martyred for their faith and have been recognized by the Catholic Church.
The first is described as a priest who resided in Rome and the second is described as a Bishop who resided in Interamna (known today as Terni) in Italy. The third Saint Valentine is said to have practiced in Africa with a number of associates prior to his martrydom, but nothing further is known of this particular personage and it is doubtful that he is associated in any manner with the modern day celebration of Saint Valentine's Day.

1. Saint Valentine: Holy Priest of Rome:
The date of this Saint Valentine's birth is not known. Along with Saint Marius and his family, Saint Valentine assisted the martyrs during the persecution they suffered under the rule of Claudius II (also known as Claudius the Goth and Claudius the Cruel). In addition, since Rome was at the time involved in many bloody and unpopular campaigns, the emperor found it difficult to recruit the male populace into joining his military leagues. Believing this to be because Roman men were adverse to leaving their loved ones or their familes, Claudius cancelled all marriages and engagements within the City of Rome. Saint Valentine and Saint Marius, however, continued to perform wedding ceremonies in secret. When is was discovered that Saint Valentine was defying the emperor's decree, he was apprehended and dispatched by Claudius to the Prefect of Rome who, being unable to force the saint to renounce Christianity, ordered that Valentine be clubbed, stoned and then beheaded. According to tradition, while Valentine waited in prison for his execution, he corresponded with those under his care by sending letters and love notes to his parishioners. It is also believed that while incarcerated, the Bishop fell in love with a young woman who visited him during his confinement. According to some sources, this was the blind daughter (whose name may have been Julia) of of Asterius, the jailer. It is said that God enabled Valentine to miraculously restore the girl's sight. Popular belief indicates that Valentine's farewell message to his love contained a closing that has now transcended time: "From Your Valentine." The saint was executed on February 14 in either 269 A.D. or 270 A.D.

2. Saint Valentine: Bishop of Interamna:
This Saint Valentine is said to have been scourged, imprisoned and beheaded by Placidus, Prefect of Interanma. The relic bones of this Saint Valentine are housed in a basilica in Terni, a town in Italy which hails Saint Valentine as its Patron Saint. It is believed that the saint, who lived in the Third Century, dedicated his life to the Christian community of Terni, becoming the first Bishop of the town. Adored by the populace, the fame of Saint Valentine's holiness and miracles reached Rome, his name being linked with love because, according to legend, he was the first religious personage to oversee the celebration of marriage between a pagan man and a Christian woman. Sentenced to death in Rome, he was martyred on February 14 along the Via Flaminia and swiftly buried in order to prevent rioting by the Christians. It is said that three of Saint Valentine's disciples managed to find the body, transferring it to Terni, where the remains were interred within a sacred place. The Basilica of Saint Valentino was later erected in the same location to honor the saint and invoke his protection and blessing. Every year on February 14, the town of Terni now hosts exhibitions, fairs and cultural events which attract many tourists to the area.

3. Saint Valentine of Africa:
This missionary is said have practiced in Nothern Africa and part of the middle east with his associates sometime in the third century. However, nothing is documented about him except that he was martyred on the 14th of February.

February 14 first became associated with romantic love within the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines".

While there are no definitive written accounts of any of the aforementioned Saint Valentines, all of whom lived in the Third Century and apparently died on exactly the same day, there is a more recent and documented connection to Ireland. In 1836, Pope Gregory XVI sent a gift to the Carmelite Church in Dublin...recognition of the work carried out by the former prior of the Church, Father John Spratt, widely-known as a very holy man. The gift was a relic of a Christian martyr...a small gold-bound casket which contained the earthly remains of one Saint Valentine (which it might have been if indeed, there is more than one, is not clear). The relic had been exhumed from the Cemetery of Saint Hyppolytus on the Tibertine Way in Rome, placed into a golden casket and transported to Dublin, where it was enshrined with great ceremony in the little Carmelite Church. Every year, on February 14, the casket is carried in solemn procession to the high altar for a special Mass dedicated to young people and all those in love.

Pardon the long write-up. I had to really dig deep among fable, myth, legend, fiction and fact. Personally, I don't have problems with how anyone chooses to mark the day so long as true love is being celebrated. Pls drop ur comments on what you feel about the Feast day.
