A very big revolution is imminent or a military coup! Mark my words people.

This is a common practice in India to reduce cost of marriage and its maintenance. It is not new. Or haven't you guys been hearing of polyandry for ages? All these apostles of 'end time' self.

Armed bandits were on the prowl again in Benin-City, Edo State capital. They abducted human rights activist and lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN).

Four officers of the Edo Police Command were killed in a gun duel with the kidnappers that ensued in an attempt to rescue Ozekhome.

THISDAY learnt Ozekhome was kidnapped together with his driver. Their abduction occurred barely 48 hours after the state police command paraded 44 suspected kidnappers in Benin-City.

Narrating the development to newsmen, the state's Commissioner of Police Foluso Adebanjo said, "Operatives of the command led by DPO Ehor Division responded swiftly to a distress call at about 3:30 pm that unspecified number of armed men had blocked the Benin-Auchi road by Ehor axis. But on their way, the hoodlums ambushed the police patrol vehicle and opened fire on them, prompting an exchange of fire.

"At the end of the gun duel, the hoodlums escaped with bullet wounds but not without their victim who was later identified upon search on his abandoned vehicle as Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) and his driver. Regrettably, the command lost four officers in the encounter.

"We salute their rare courage and bravery for they fought and died as heroes for the cause of humanity. Their death shall not be in vain. We remain undeterred in our fight against armed banditry". Indications, however, emerged last night that the police in Edo led by Adebanjo were on the trail of the suspected kidnappers of Ozekhome.

The Inspector General of Police Muhammed Abubakar was said to have directed the Commissioner of Police to fish out the suspects, just as he vowed to ensure that the suspects are brought to justice.

Force Public Relations Officers Frank Mba told journalists on telephone that the IGP had directed the Edo CP to commence immediate and vigorous manhunt for the hoodlums "who must be arrested and brought to justice and the kidnapped victims rescued".

"We therefore once again call on the general public not to relent in their partnership with the police to fish out the criminals as common enemy to our society and report anyone found with the bullet wounds to the nearest police station."

In May unknown gunmen had kidnapped the wife and daughter of Supreme Court Justice Bode Rhodes-Vivour. Also abducted was their driver.

The trio were intercepted as they were about to enter Benin-City. They were later released about three weeks later, presumably on the payment of some ransom to the kidnappers.

Responding to Ozekhome's kidnap last night, prominent lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana, said "I have just confirmed that Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) was kidnapped yesterday while travelling between Benin and Auchi in Edo State.

"Since the Nigerian state has demonstrated, over and over again, its incapacity to protect the lives and property of citizens and aliens living in our country, I am compelled to appeal to the kidnappers to release Chief Ozekhome (SAN) without delay".

It was Otedola and Farook that opened our eyes to this kind of sting operation ooo. Kudos to the crooks, anyway.

The woman's name self... Charade. Am not surprised at her behaviour even without drug.

Pls give me one reason why I shouldn't have my own opinion about a particular tribe after about 15 years experience..

I'm sure you do not live in this state, so I'll save myself the stress of arguing..

You see, I hate no one, I'm just tired of the things I see around me.
You're asking for pics isn't? Lol, I don't want to alter your mood with 'eye-sores' so I'll let it pass..

*******************************

Look op, I am not saying you shouldn't have your opinion. After all, you are entitled to your opinion. All I am saying is that you should be objective without being sentimental. Abeg I no fit shout jare

Op just pointed out a failed project and all of a sudden, we jumped into conclusion that the entire state is a failure. Can we see how we reason in Nigeria? Why don't we ask the op to come up with more proofs of failed projects b4 we come to a conclusion. I hate to read theories/conclusions from arm-chair researchers. Show me a state in Nigeria, and I will show you plethora of failed projects littering everywhere.

In as much as I am not happy with the level of development in Kogi state, I have my reservations as to how this op went about painting the picture with ethnic chauvinism dominating the major part of the his writeup. My own conclusion from the writeup is that the op has been having chocking hatred for the Igalas. And the only way he thought he could vent his anger was to capitalise on this particular failed project which is just a project out of so many projects in just a sector of the many sectors of Kogi state's economy. He went ahead to extol the virtues of his people above the igalas and finally landed awkwardly by suggesting the creation of okun state or be taken back to kwara state!!! What a suggestion!!! It is quite hilarious that somebody is suggesting that kwara is a better option to kogi.

Let me educate the op that the only difference between kogi state and kwara state in terms of development, generally, is just the age. My candid advise to the op is that if he really wants to champion a cause, he just have to go about the cause devoid of ethnic, religious or sectional bigotry. This problem is exactly the bane of our politicians today. They may have fantastic policies for the polity, but they just cannot go about implementing those policies without mixing it with tribe, religion and the rest. Same thing with this op. He can never make any meaningful contribution to the development of Kogi state or elsewhere if given the opportunity with this mindset.

Kudos to Prof. Babs Fafunwa

Negative effect of number portability. I guess the celebrities did not meet their marketing targets.

My religion tells me that the prayer of someone in distress has no veil between it (the prayer) and the Almighty God. Therefore, I have no doubt in my mind about the positive response from the Grand Creator. Your prayer, my sister, is answered. Continue to keep your faith in God. That boy is going to be another means to elevate your faith in God to higher level. It shall be well with the son, the mother and, in deed, the entire family. Amen

From what I read above, the electrician was only circumstantially honest. Period.

“Securing Maiduguri is now a collective responsibility, irrespective of age, gender or status, as the safer the town, the better for all of us,”. I love this comment from Halima. Good luck to you all.

It's about time we showed those cocky americans that Nigeria is a force to reckon with in the global arena, not just in Africa. Obama must be feeling the heat right now from american businessmen who frantically wanted him to include Nigeria in his itinerary of recent African visit. America's loss is now China's gain! Long live Nigeria, long live China!

This one is not about separation, anyway. A friend of mine wanted his wife to start sleeping in his mum's room while preparing for another wife. The lady refused to leave her husband's room. One particular night while they were eating their evening meal in d compound, he asked his wife to help him get something from his room (the guy's door is outside of d compd facing an expressway). On getting inside d room, d wife saw a giant masquerade murmuring. She screamed and fled back to d compd. B4 pple came out, d masquerade had disappered into darkness. Nobody believed her story. Knowing what she actually saw, she vowed not to sleep in that room ever again. That is how my friend was able to gain his room back to himself. When the new wife eventually came, the first wife willingly allowed her take over the husband's room without any grudge, believing that one of these days the giant masquerade will pursue her out.

All these award-giving organisations self! Can't they align all these awards so that we can know which bank is really leading in Africa Very soon another body will anounce firstbank as the bank of d year. Thereafter Zenith will be anounced by yet another body... Haba! I smell sentiment in those awards. No wonder USA govt doesn't trust ratings from Moody and S&P anymore. So much politics!!!

Who says NYSC isn't worth it. NYSC has a way of showing communities how best to meet their needs with meager resources and determination. Long live NYSC! Long live Nigeria. Wishing the young boy quickest recovery.

These hoodlums should as well go Italy and protest the appointment of Pope Francis... Mtcheew

Why PDP Secretariat gate? Let him go to Aso vila gate na. Let these boko haram-threatened guys handle his situation, he will then know that his world Guinness book of record fight is no presidential priority at the moment

Lol........ Ur personal opinion is misleading!
U concluded irrationally that no arrangement was made concerning Fergie's retirement which is wrong!
Running helter skelter for another manager? Wrong

The Snr exec and directors @ man united have been preparing for this for more than a decade!

So get ur facts right b4 u mislead people....

I still maintain that there is no concrete succession plan in Man U. READ MY LIPS, MR RATIONAL MAN!!! And man u is still at sixes and sevens as to the choice of a successor to SAFas I am typing now. SAF's choice is Moyes whereas Glazers are looking for established gaffers; and somebody is here telling me this succession plan has been in the pipeline for a decade. A decade in deed!!!

Mr rational man, one more assignment for u pls: check man u's price on the floor of NY stock exchange today and see how it is faring... Pls don't hesitate to report back ur findings. Clearly, there is uncertainty in the air.

Shut d fucck up dude!

Fergie should have retired in 2002 but decided to continue because d club was not in d best shape and he wanted @ least one more Champ League triumph (which he won in 2008 losing 2 other finals to barcelona FC).
To all those clamouring for Jose Mourinho... Snr Executives and Directors @ Man United do not want him due to his questionable loyalty, media frenzy and issues with his players (as we have seen with Real Madrid)
Secondly David Moyes is a good Coach (not a great one yet since he is yet to win any title) but he has been competitive with an Everton team with a transfer budget of around 10-15M pounds for more than 8yrs finishing 4th once and in the top 7 on more than 5 occasions. He has been loyal with Everton and also bringing up d likes of Seamus, Anichebe and co from d academy.
Moyes is good technically and can deliver with more funds, better training facilities and support from the players and coaching staffs (d ones that wud keep their jobs). The major drawback is his inexperience in the Champions League......... But remember PEP Guardiola was a newbie when he took over at Barca, d rest is history

IYA NGBALI: you are a twart

I can never join issues with ur kinds, because what I said in that post is my personal opinion devoid of any attack on anybody. It is by next season that u guys will start seeing what I am saying, then we will know who really deserves all the names u r calling now.

It is now that United owners and fans will know the mess SAF has dragged the club into. How can one be in charge of a club for 26 good years without making any concrete arrangement for at least a successor or series of successors. And the owners played along with this dangerous and selfish arrangement of SAF all these years. Now the club is running helter skelter for a manager while it's shares on NY stock exchange is being negatively affected. To worsen the whole situation, it is this same man that must anoint whoever is coming to succeed him! Why!

I hv issues with the dad. Where is d man's self esteem when he went to send a mail to P2 informing him of his daughter's pregnancy for him Responsible fathers don't do that in Africa. It is a shame. In fact, between P2 and d girl's dad, I don't knw who is responsible for d pregnancy
