Pillars to end season in style Champions-elect Kano Pillars have promised to play their last game of the season at Sunshine Stars on Friday with total commitment. This was disclosed to MTNFootball.com by Pillars coach Mohammed Baba Ganaru. He said he will present his best team against Sunshine stars and that they will give their best as they have done in previous games even though they have been crowned champions following the ruling on Ocean Boys. “It is true that we have won the league no matter the outcome of the game against Sunshine Stars, but we are not looking it that way, we are approaching the game with all seriousness,” he assured. “We will go into the game as if we have not won the league. I am presenting the best team for the match, so it should be an interesting and explosive game.” Pillars will be missing Eagles defender Papa Idris, who is injured, while Gabriel Rueben and Umar Zango are with the national team for the AFCON qualifier in Liberia. Youth international midfielder Shehu Abdullahi has been released by the Flying Eagles to be part of the victory party in Ijebu-Ode. Also, the club’s top scorer with 15 goals Gambo Mohammed has rejoined the team from Turkey and will face Sunshine Stars. Gambo has been in Turkey on trials but in the end he did not secure a contract with either Samsunspor or Adana Demirspor. “Gambo is back with us, he came back from Turkey yesterday night (Wednesday) and we picked him at the airport in Lagos yesterday night. He is here with us for the game,” Ganaru disclosed. Pillars beat Sunshine by the odd goal in the reverse fixture in Kano. |

The OP may be trying to fool people. Below are the examples of his 'religious' posts. TB Joshua Vs Dr Sign Fireman: Who's Faker? by Ijogz K(m): 10:35am On Nov 30, 2011 Let's Blame Our Religious Leaders On This Crises We Are Going Through by Ijogz K(m): 12:18pm On Jan 04I am sure he doesn't have any faith in Islam already. He is either a Christian or have no religion at all. |
@PapaBrowne I can tell you that the Southern Governors are doing this just to impose their own political will in their states. State Police means some separate State Laws. An offence in Enugu may not be an offence in Lagos, we will not be so sure until it is implemented and the Governors did not impose or allow some outrageous acts to happen in the states. In the long run, it might led to the separation of the country. ![]() |
ahika: There are few people in this world who take their words as a mark of dignity, and 'auwal' is among the few ones. When I was explaining the poem, in my mind was ''even if he does not give me the $100 it is worth trying'' but he have proved those of us who thought that someone can't just give away $100, wrong. Some will be asking 'did he actually give out the $100 as he promised?' the answer to that question is yes. Once again thank you auwal.Thanks for the good words Ahika. I am glad I gave out this prize, and it is my wish to do more. I am trying to encourage/promote creation of creative art and literature in Nigeria. I may pick one of my poems and run this type of contest every 3 months. Hopefully some people will copy what I am doing and offer even more higher prizes. |
sunical: On the words highlighted above, "literary masterpiece" ?? I don't get you. Who wrote the poem? And on what grounds is it a literary masterpiece? Why not try sending it to some renowned poetry editors to see if they accept it for publication.Quite nice of you, I shouldn't have mentioned 'masterpiece' even though I was referring to my own collection of poems which I wrote my self not world masterpiece. Are you finding it hard to believe that I wrote the poem? Well, I don't blame you, you may not understand the veracity of it either. |

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday said state police would be abused by governors and the Nigerian polity is not ripe for the policy. He disagreed with the position of the NBA on the urgent need to create state police in addressing the nation’s security challenges, saying if abused by the governors it could worsen the security situation in the country. |
@OP, Don't worry a bit, 10,000 Naira Note will carry the pictures of OKOCHA and KANU and AMOKACHI |
ahika: LAND OF HOPEPlease check your Inbox. But I have one thing to clear here, you joined Nairaland a day before posting your explanation. May I know please how you know about it? If you are currently an active member of Nairaland, please be so kind to let me know your active username. Thank you. |
Everyone know the current political issue being discussed is the State Police, since most of the Governors in the North are opposing this motion, this is then brought up to deviate the attention of the Southern Governors from creating State Police. Reasons 1. Before oil is discovered, an OPL is first given (Oil Prospecting License), after which the prospect will announce the availability of oil, quantity, density, etc. 2. There would have been news headline for the award of OPL in Sokoto state before the sudden news of "Oil Discovery". 3. Nobody can determine any of the above 2 and even make it official without federal government's permission, that is by obtaining the OPL. Case study is Lake Chad in Borno State (Maiduguri) where OPL was given to NNDC (OPL722 and OPL733). NNDC is the Northern Nigeria Development Company. 4. The Oil Mining License (OML) is the final thing that the company will obtain before extracting the oil for sale. I will definitely love my region (North) to have oil wealth, but I cannot quickly agree to this and start jubilation without getting the real facts and figures, I am just not that kind. I also hope that when oil is discovered, the separation of the country will be accelerated, since we don't need to negotiate on the coastal areas again. All I am seeing now is politics at play ![]() PS: Personal Opinion |
ahika: LAND OF HOPEI wasn't actually looking for the answer, because I already know what the meaning since I wrote it myself, I wanted to know how other people will translate the poem without any clue from me. That is why I put on this contest. Back to your explanation; That was exactly what I was thinking when I wrote the poem, despite the fact that I am not from Niger Delta. Anyways, the only place where you got the explanation wrong is at the end, but nevertheless my dear 9/10, you have won your $100 because you explain well. Congratulations!!! I am going to contact you on the above email for your prize. Though I am not in the country presently, I will still send it to you by your preferred method. Secondly, you will be mentioned in my yet-to-be-released book. Once again Congratulations!Thanks to everyone that responded and tried to explain the meanings of this poem. |

(RNS) This year during Ramadan -- the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar when Muslims believe the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad -- I was in solidarity with my Muslim sisters and brothers throughout the world by reading the Quran. But here's the thing: I am a Roman Catholic. My copy of the Quran, with more than 1,700 pages, has sat on the top shelf of my bedroom bookcase among other sacred texts for 14 years. Typically I would use it as a sporadic reference and resource to better understanding Islam, reading a few short passages at a time. However, this Ramadan something at the core of my being was calling me to read the Quran in its entirety. And so my monthlong Ramadan journey began. Each day and evening, the prayerful poetry in the Quran held me in a meditative mode of peace as I read without being aware of the passage of time. When I finished reading a week before the end of the month, I felt as if the Quran was almost endless, reaching beyond the confines of my calendar days. I didn't want to read the last page. I didn't want to be finished. The Quran inspired me, taught me and helped me to remember my essential holiness and how that holiness in the image of God should be reflected in the world. As Ramadan comes to a close this weekend (Aug. 18-19) with Eid al-Fitr, I find myself focusing on the blessings I have been given through the grace of God while reading the Quran. The Quran encouraged me to continuously be aware of a gracious and merciful God who cherishes humanity and cherishes all of creation. I came to believe more firmly during my humble Ramadan experience that being cherished by God is an example of divine love beyond the limitations of any one language, symbol and imagination. Certainly this has implications for how we treat each other and care for the world. Many chapters, or surahs, in the Quran had me reflecting on the diversity and opposite realities in nature (night/day, male/female, darkness/light, beginning/ending, life/death) and reaffirming that God is found in both. This insight into sacred polarity is a perfect teaching paradigm for respectful interreligious dialogue, which is never about win/lose, right/wrong profiling and divisiveness. Among my greatest lessons from the Quran was to be reminded to have faith, seek the truth, praise God, pray, forgive, be kind, be peaceful and take care of people who are most vulnerable -- those who are oppressed and often forgotten. Perhaps the commentary found in the conclusion of my Quran says it best: "What can we do to make Allah's light shine forth through the darkness around us? We must first let it shine in our own selves. With the light in the niche of our inmost hearts we can walk with steps both firm and sure: We can humbly visit the comfortless and guide their steps. Not we but the light will guide. But oh the joy of being found worthy to bear the torch and to say to our brethren: I too was in darkness, comfortless, and behold, I have found comfort and joy in the grace divine." After reading the Quran during Ramadan, I am again convinced that there are more commonalities between and among religions than there are differences that isolate and divide. (Kathleen K.

The outspoken Sheikh Ahmad Gumi escaped death at the hand of suicide bombers after failing to reach him on their motorcycle. Two people carrying explosives on motorbikes were killed by their own bombs in Kaduna yesterday, witnesses said, suggesting that the bombers targeted Islamic scholar Ahmad Gumi who recently criticised attacks blamed on the Boko Haram sect.Source: http://labarai.com/sheikh-gumi-escapes-death-after-bombers-failed-to-reach-him/ |
The Prophet Muhammad (s) said: “Anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should not harm his neighbor, and anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should entertain his guest generously, and anybody who believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or keep quiet (i.e. abstain from all kinds of evil and dirty talk).“ Narrated by Abu Hurayrah, Sahih Al Bukhari, Vol: 8 Hadith 47.
