Sorry boss. I pray you win this battle against cancer
I wish you quick recovery.

Krasid: D'banj has not done anything reasonable since he left Don jazzy.Slowly his career is going down .

You are a good example of someone who hates for no reason.

Since he left Don jazzy, his song has entered top 10 uk chart, he composed the theme song for Afcon, he performed at Afcon final, He has done many collabo with international artistes including (snoop and big sean). He has been named ambassador for United Nations, Bank of Industry and Etisalat... The list goes on. Now tell me one reasonable thing Don jazzy has done, other than selling Loya Milk

Yet you hide behind your computer, without any notable achievement in your life and you keep hating one someone that doesn't even care if you exist. Your hatred actually proves his success, because success comes with hatred and envy from people like you.

My advice, if you are too lazy to make a name for yourself, the least you can do is to appreciate those who work hard to succeed maybe luck will smile on you one day

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi maintains Joseph Yobo is still the Super Eagles captain, despite the fact he was left out of the the Abuja training camp.

The former Everton defender has 95 caps for Nigerian national team, but has been left out of the squad selected for the Nelson Mandela challenge as the team prepares for the upcoming CHAN qualifier against Cote d'Ivoire.

Keshi said the centre-back is still the team’s skipper, but he was left out of the squad in order to test some of his fringe players.

"It will not be fair to invite Yobo to the national team and asked him to be on the bench, it will be a huge disgrace and I won't be part of that," He said.

"When the team needs him he will be recalled and will definitely start as captain even if along the line we substitute him."

You must be a learner for sure

Tolexander: Is this what will be happening in the post ferguson era?

Manchester United will need some time to balance in this Moyes era. I heard they lost their friendly match yesterday

Real Madrid have topped Manchester United as World’s most valuable sports team according to Forbes latest list.


The Premier League champion were on top of the Forbes list of the World’s 50 Most Valuable Sports Teams last year, but they have been surpassed by the Spanish club who are currently valued at $3.3b. Spanish rival Barcelona are ranked third having climbed from eighth position last year. Arsenal retained the 10th position to make fourth European team in the top 10.

The list is mainly dominated by the American National Football League (NFL) with 30 teams making the top 50.

Even thou I'm not a fan of GEJ. I do not subscribe to using any dubious means to oust him from Aso rock.

Let him contest for PDP primaries and if he wins, let him contest for the general election and let Nigerians decide

[url][/url]Bayern Munich have confirmed the signing of Barcelona midfielder Thiago Alcantara for a fee said to be around £21M. The 22-year-old will join the Bundesliga champion in a four year deal, subject to a medical.



The Under-21 Spanish international has been linked with the Premier league champion, Manchester United, but has now reunited with his former boss Pep Guardiola who currently manages the German club.

A statement on Bayern Munich’s website reads: "FC Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona have agreed terms for the transfer of 22-year-old Thiago Alcantara.

"In the course of the next few days, the Spain midfielder will travel to Munich for the obligatory medical before signing a four-year contract binding him to Germany's biggest club until 30 June 2017.

"The clubs have agreed a transfer fee totalling 25million euros. FC Bayern will directly pay 20million euros. The remainder will be financed by the proceeds of a friendly match agreed between the clubs. A further proportion of the remaining sum will be indirectly covered by Thiago Alcantara himself, as the player will forego part of his remuneration."

Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also said: "Thiago Alcantara was the biggest wish of our new coach Pep Guardiola. We're delighted we've successfully negotiated this major transfer.

"Only recently, Thiago was named best player at the Under-21 European Championship. He's a fantastic player with huge potential, and he will make FC Bayern stronger." He added

^^^^^
The post clearly states 8 clubs. Did you even bother to read the post

People say footballers don’t care about the clubs they play for; that a little stint here and there means nothing to some of these mercenaries.

Well, not for the renowned house-proud player Obafemi Martins. And the former Newcastle striker is someone who should know his way around a fair few training grounds by now.

For the 28-year-old has had eight clubs since leaving his native Nigeria for pastures new: Reggiana, Inter Milan, Newcastle, Wolfsburg, Rubin Kazan, Birmingham, Levante and now American MLS outfit Seattle Sounders.

What has Martins done to commemorate his colourful career? Well, he has chosen to use shirts from his old clubs – and his country – to upholster his golden dining room chairs.

As the picture shows, Martins is proudly showing off his kit to any visitors to his household – what a novel idea.

I hope Ronaldo wins

they are taking this thing too far jare.
I'm getting bored already

I weep for this people. It will take decades for normalcy to return to that country. They had a dictator and revolted; now they have a democratically elected leader they are revolting and inadvertently inviting dictatorship again. The guy has only spent one year and they expect him to magically fix the economy after years of uprising.
If the military takes over they are doomed

This guy still dey sing

Well very cool and nice video

Seems like the path is getting cleared for Andy Murray

Defending champion Roger Federer lost 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (7-5) 7-5 7-6 (7-5) to world number 116 Sergiy Stakhovsky in the second round at Wimbledon.

Seven-time winner Federer, 31, was made to look sluggish by his Ukrainian opponent, who played inspired serve-and-volley tennis on Centre Court.

It is Federer's earliest exit at Wimbledon since 2002, when he was beaten in the first round.

Federer's defeat is further good news for Britain's second seed Andy Murray.
Fifth seed and two-time champion Rafael Nadal was also on Murray's side of the draw but lost in the first round.

And sixth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga withdrew from his second-round match because of an injury.
Federer's defeat meant it was also his earliest Grand Slam exit since losing in the first round of the French Open in 2003.
It also ended the 17-time major champion's run of 36 consecutive quarter-final appearances in Grand Slam events, which started at Wimbledon in 2004

I-B.:
A 17-year-old boy has been handed over to the Oyo State Police Command after he was caught by teachers at St. Luke Grammar School, Molete, Ibadan, while allegedly chanting incantations on a student at a nearby bush where the student had gone to ease himself.

The action, the teachers claimed, was to kidnap the victim

According to the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Olabisi Okuwobi-Ilobanafor, the suspect, Chukwu Chijoke, had claimed that the charm found on him was a gift from his grandfather, which has the powers to make him command anyone to do whatever he asked them to do.

But the suspect explained that the charm posed no evil on the student.

He said the name of the charm was “Ezebinafor” and that it was a gift from his grandfather for protection and to invoke command.

You need to first read Brighter Grammar 1,2,3 and improve on your spelling.
Then we will re-assess you again

I can't wait to see the reactions from GEJ, Jang, Akpabio and Mimiko when the court fianlly declares Amaechi as the winner

I hope they remembered to freeze mosque accounts too

I hope the bigots that nearly chopped Fashola's head off can now see there nothing wrong with PPP, especially when you have an alternative route to take if you don't want to pay toll.

Gosh, why are these people always complaining, crying and wailing at the same time

We've always known the economy is in danger. All we've been seeing for the last 2 years are figures on paper lying to us that the economy is booming. The best way to know the economy is booming is the impact on the street, when people have good jobs and good shelter, when people can feed themselves and their family. That's what a layman understands not some figures manufactured from the space.

Damm! I'm in the office andI can't believe I've listened to this song over 10 times

owo ni koko

Sincere 9gerian: Please show us when and how "Maku said GEJ brought facebook to Nigeria". Show us any media report (reputable media), audio or video where such statement was made. If you dont, then you must be wicked liar who should not be taken seriously. It also implies that all your claims in your post are LIES, LIES, LIES!!

Oooops I guess I touched some nerves
I don't expect you to take me seriously because I just disproved the claims of one of your oga's ministers. Those that are intelligent enough understands that GEJ and his Ministers are bunch of scammers. They lie with so much confidence that you begin to wonder if all Nigerians are f00ls.

Instead of calling me names, show me how, where and when the Minister created the so-called jobs,

Sincere 9gerian: These worshippers at Tinubu's shrine are ridiculous creatures. When its positive report, it must be a lie but when its negative it must be true.

How can a people who know nothing about the mining sector write off this report as a lie? For the information of all, the raw materials used in local cement production does not fall from the moon. It all comes from the mining sector. Same applies to steel, ceramics, floor tiles,etc. As we speak, Nigeria no longer imports cement, because the local cement plants can now sufficiently meet local demands.

Guy I am a Mining Engineer and I can tell you that you that this man is telling the truth and lying at the same time.

The truth: the figures about the number of mines and active quarries in the country is probably true. The largest operating mine in the country is Obajana Limestone Quarry owned by Dangote and that supplies majority of the raw materials for his cement factories. The other big mines are Enugu coal mines (now closed) and Itakpe Iron mine (that also has stopped operation because Ajaokuta steel company that receives its produce is not operating). Others are granite quarries used in road construction and concrete for building. There are also gemstone quarries all over the country. So without any doubt the industry has the capacity to employ a lot of workers.

The lies: Saying the FG has created 1.2 million jobs in this industry is not only a lie but a fraud 1.2 million is almost 1% of the total population of the country. it is very obvious that 1% of the population do not work in mines or quarry. Also saying this is an achievement by the Ministry of FG is one of worst lies to be told by this government. These mines have been in existence before GEJ dreamt of becoming the president. I visited a couple of these mines when I was a student many years ago. So for him to make it look as if the FG just created these job is criminal. Just like when Maku said GEJ brought Facebook to Nigeria (I'm not surprised because it seems everyone in GEJ caucus lies expressly). Most of these mines are not even owned by the FG. the ones they own (enugu and Itakpe) are not in operation.

The Minister should be sacked for this fraudulent claim. This shows he is not doing anything and he's looking for good figures to claim as his achievements

.

For your information yorubas do not hate Ojukwu or the igbo tribe in general.
All we want to correct is the lies that you have been told for years that Awolowo was the cause of your problems during the war.

Stop blaming Awolowo, he wasn't the one that led you to war without adequate preparations and strategies. Like Soyinka said "Bluff is no substitute for bullets". You don't go to war and waste millions of innocent lives to prove your ego. Only for the 'brave' warlord to abandon his faithful warriors on the battlefield and fled. Has it ever occurred to you that no members of Ojukwu's family died during the war. All his children are alive, yet he led your innocent fathers, brothers, uncles and cousins to their untimely death.

So we have no business hating Ojukwu, we did not lose our loved ones as a result of his actions or decisions. Moreover unlike yours, our parents did not infect us with hatred against Ojukwu or the igbo tribe in general. If anything we only sympathise with you and those that died because you were just used to like pawns in a chess game.

I hope he gets a special anniversary beating in hell

Summary please
