Arguably the strangest thing one can come across in a Nigerian political sphere, the All Progressives Congress(APC) via its official Twitter handle wittingly or unwittingly liked a post [a Press statement] that demanded Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi's immediate resignation, following his appointment as the Director-General of President Buhari's 2019 re-election bid.

While some are making light of the whole fuss, this is perhaps the first time such a thing is happening especially giving the no love lost situation between the two heavyweight parties.

Whatever prompted the action, the coming days certainly is pregnant with drama.

I don't know what inspired this piece, but whatever it is is certainly as bad as kwale weed.

You mean Victor Agali is bankrupt? Nonsense.

I don't even know why I'm surprised. How on earth can we take someone who cannot string simple tenses together serious with facts and figures?

For folks travelling from this part of the world, the only worry would be air tickets and accommodation.

We shall discuss all that too and more tips, and of course, with the help of other digital nomad friends from around the world.

Perhaps the most important information about the entire thread is the entry visa and all the information surrounding it.

Please note that VISA REGULATION INTO RUSSIA FOR THE PERIOD LEADING TO AND THROUGHOUT THE 2018 WC HAS BEEN RELAXED.

Anyone travelling to Russia before and during the World Cup, until otherwise stated, can do so "WITHOUT A VISA".

That's in quote because there's what has to be done to be eligible for entry.

We shall discuss all these and more.

Let's keep the questions coming.

Good day folks.

Here's an amazing opportunity for sport lovers, especially football fans and enthusiasts alike, to have a first-hand feel of how seeing a live football game is in a scenic and amazing atmosphere. The 2018 World Cup presents such opportunity.

This thread is for those who, like me, want to travel to Russia for the football showpiece, at a minimal budget.

Please understand that we'll only be sharing tips and information as the weeks go by.

I am NOT a travelling agent.

All the best!

Rochas: Statute for you George Weah
Weah: Thank you 'gav-nor'

I hope you did not take something very strong this night?

Of the two of us, who is high on cheap kwale weed now?

Against the widely circulating news that former footballer, Liberia's George Weah has been elected the country's president, the BBC is reporting that voting just got underway.

Vote counting is under way in Liberia in a run-off presidential election between Vice-President Joseph Boakai and ex-football star George Weah.

Mr Weah, 51, won the first round, but did not secure the required 50% of the vote for an outright victory.

The final result is expected later in the week.

Good day all.
currently serving in kwara state. i decided to do a bit of research on well meaning nigerians from that region.

1. Olusola Saraki.

Dr. Olusola Saraki was born on the 17th of May,
1933 at Ilorin, in Kwara State. His mother was
from Oyo State and his father was an indigene of
Ilorin. He had his secondary education at Eko
Boys High School and his university education at
the University of London and St. George’s
Hospital Medical School, London. He was
employed as a medical officer at the General
Hospital, Lagos and the Creek Hospital in Lagos.
He was popularly called “Baba Oloye”, and “the
godfather of Kwara politics”. Dr. Olusola Saraki
was the patriarch of the Saraki family in Ilorin.

His foray into politics began in 1964, when he ran
in the parliamentary election for Ilorin as an
independent. He however did not win the election
and returned to working in the hospital.
Dr. Olusola Saraki was elected as a member of the
Constituent Assembly in 1977. This Constituent
Assembly was the one that produced the 1979
constitution. He was elected as a Senator of the
Second Republic in 1979 and eventually he
became a Senate Leader. In 1983, he was re-
elected into the senate on the platform of the
National Party of Nigeria (NPN).

He became a National Leader and member of the
Board of Trustees of the All People’s Party (APP)
in 1998. He supported Mohammed Alabi Lawal in
becoming the Governor of Kwara State. He headed
the team from the Arewa Consultative Forum,
which was a Northen cultural and political group
in 2001. This group was sent to meet with
Northern state governors and other leaders so as
to have a discussion with them about common
goals. He later decamped to the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP).

Dr. Olusola Saraki was the father of Dr. Bukola
Saraki who was a past Governor of Kwara State
and is the current Senate Leader in the Eighth
Senate of Nigeria. Gbemisola Saraki is also his
daughter and she was a senator for Kwara State
Central in 2003.

The godfather of politics in Kwara State, Dr.
Olusola Saraki died on the 14th of November at
the age of 79 in Lagos after a long battle with
cancer. His remains was laid to rest in Ilorin.

That's for your attention OP

Top 10 indeed. Nonsense.
A list that excludes Nigeria's Senate President (whom you erroneously referred to as "Senate leader" and the Information Minister, what's pominent about that?

Abeg face your NYSC.

izzou:


Let's just stop mocking God abeg

That's why we have so many adulterers and divorces and separations even in the church

He just agreed to marry you in one day? What happened to giving it time?What happened to knowing each other?

Our God is a God of miracles,not magic

Even when God shows you your spouse,God will not tell you to propose to him that same day

Hian

My grouse with folks like you is you talk first before thinking.
Listen to her testimony first before talking.
The lady said they were friends.
Hian!

ibkkk:
My miracle is on its way,by God's grace.

Wait o! You mean the person just came and proposed just like that?
Congrats,sha.I pray it lasts.

You obviously didn't see the video before commenting.
She said they've been friends.

“Aliko Dangote is the President and CEO of Dangote Group, Bishop Oyedepo is the General Overseer of Winners Chapel Both men sit on billions. Dangote employs and feeds millions. Oyedepo receives 10% of salary of every member of Church monthly, owns and manages investments including fees paying University. While Dangote pays taxes to the Government, Oyedepo pays nothing. Dangote has one private jet but Oyedepo has a fleet of 4 private jets including Bombardier. Citizens are supposed to be responsible and tax compliance. Here we are with two extremes; a community builder and Yahoo Yahoo Scammer.

It's unfortunate that you can't capture your thoughts in a well scripted and articulated piece of your own to drive home your message. That's because you're a moronic zombie following every gibberish because of some free data you got.

Oyedepo 's Winner Chapel, on it's payroll, has well over 20,000 employees.
Over 40% of Landmark University students are on scholarship.
David Oyedepo Foundation continues to sponsor the less privileged especially to Covenant and Landmark Universities. You could say it's because he owns the institutions. He pays for everything just like an outsider [the facts are readily available for minds like yours].
Starve your ignorance and feed your intellect by asking pertinent questions and seeking relevant answers, rather than come up to social media and display tomfoolery and brazen idiocy.

There was a pronounced judgement (evidentially based), you were found guilty and you've served your term.
In the eyes of the law, the matter is settled and out of record.
The sad part for the prosecutor is the forfeiture of the claim(plus, it wasn't mentioned in the ruling that you should pay the money back).
The sad part for you is that you're an ex-convict.

We're in the final.

The WESPA (World English-Language Scrabble Players Association) Championship enters its final stage with the top two players determined, after an exciting 32 game qualifying tournament just completed in Nairobi, Kenya.

Akshay Bhandarkar of Bahrain will play Peter Moses of Nigeria in a best of seven game final, after proving themselves the two best players in a tournament of over 100 players from over 30 countries.

Defending Champion, Nigeria's Wellington Jighere narrowly lost out of a place in Sunday's final after suffering setbacks in penultimate rounds leading to the deciding finale. However, Moses Peter has proven to be the tournament's dark horse after putting up superlative showings against almost everyone on his way to the final.

Moses, like the biblical prophet, defied odds to upstage the greatest Scrabble player of all time, Nigel Richard, for a place in the final, in a game that remains one of the most pulsationally followed by the Nigerian Scrabble fraternity back home. From the closed WhatsApp platform "Nigeria Scrabble Friends" where live feeds from the game between Moses and Richard was being relayed, move by move details was not available because the annotation of the game was unavailable. With Moses condemned to win to be assured a place in the finals, his compatriots deployed the Nigerian-ness in them and began to pray. Such was the display of oneness and unity during his final game.

Long story short, another Nigerian is on the threshold of history in the intellectual sport we so love.
God bless Nigeria.

ZACHIE:
Nigeria still holds her ground going into the last moments of this epic game.
The possibility of an all-Nigerian final is still there. Should we erase ourselves, one of them will have to confront that bearded GOAT in a 7 game final tomorrow

Impossible is nothing. If Welly and Moses avoid themselves and win well and the bearded one drops, it's done niyen.

Gerrard59:
Scrabble just like any other game can provide money, fame and glory to any player. Moreover, it's a cerebral game. Good thing about it is that, it's easy to learn how to play unlike say Chess. Know the rules and play your game!


@Post, Kudos to our compatriots. Please where can someone get a Scrabble dictionary hardcopy?

Depending on where you're asking from. It's everywhere.
In Lagos, inbox for the details of those you can talk to.
Abuja? Inbox still, we'll talk.

ZACHIE:
Debo Ajose.
He did OQUASSAS.

He was a marvel of sheer wizardry .
We were contemporaries back in the day, including Dokun and Sidespin .

I left Scrabble to pursue the purse ��. But , I'm staging a gradual comeback

Bros, you say?

ZACHIE:
Olodo, I am off your pedantic scope.

We surge ahead with our Scrabble programs, you can sink deeper in your mire.

Your choice, boy.

Why are you wasting precious time?
It's fruitless attempting to rescue someone who's made a covenant with ignorance, you know?

Erm....... What happened to "SCABBLEBOARD"........

aribisala0:
Talk down?

You are an insecure person with low self esteem. Easy diagnosis
I searched for it before I asked .

The reality is there is no such thing as a National Ranking or a so called Top scrabble nation.
If there were it won't be Nigeria.
Nigeria has many players among the best in the world but that is not what makes for top scrabble nation.
That is a numbers game. I do not believe there are even enough scrabble boards in Nigeria to justify such a thing.

I didn't have to do a further check on you, having followed from your first comment since the thread was amplified.
It's pointless seeking to help an unrepentant dunderhead.
That said, if you equate yourself into this class, fine. If not, finer.

Harm yourself with these links, just your warped curiosities could be massaged:

aribisala0:
I have not said we are not, I said HOW? on what basis or metrics
being at the Top of charts is that enough?
The World Number one in Tennis might be Swiss but does that make Switzerland the number one Tennis nation?

That is why I asked HOW you make Nigeria the top scrabble nation
have there ever been competitions between National teams and is there a ranking system
My point is a statement like top nation in anything goes beyond being world champion or having the best two players.There is more to it than that.
The World Chess champion is Norwegian but Norway is far from the number one chess country

I've answered your question about being Scrabble's Number One Playing Nation.
But it appears you're poised for the argument part rather than to seek enlightenment.

aribisala0:
Hi not to create an argument but how is Nigeria
Number One Scrabble Playing nation?

For the purpose of education only:
A country who has the highest number of performers(in quota) the elite category (Master) in any WESPA Championship.

E.G if 2017 edition currently on going sees 7/8 Nigerians finishing top 20, that's a no-brainer.


That should answer you.

Statsocial:
Since it won't be used for Sunday services yet then LFC should lend it out to another church for Sundays till they would need it. This would ensure the facility doesn't rot from disuse.

You have a valid point. But would the so-called church "in dire need" BE HUMBLE ENOUGH TO APPROACH LFC, asking to occupy for Sunday use?

Defending Champion, Nigeria's Wellington Jighere led on the first two days.
Today being the 3rd day, two other Nigerians are contending for top position, along with the greatest Scrabble player of all time, Nigel Richard.

So, in the mix are 3 Nigerians in top 5.

Isn't this country blessed?
