, underground and the govt sent a capsule down to rescue them one after the other, but the rescue had to be called off as the trapped miners could not agree amongst themselves on who goes first. Zoning was suggested but they could not agree on which zone will go first.


Eventually in a struggle to all board at the same time, the capsule was damaged leading to the call off.
Oh dear. Sorry it was only a nightmare. In fact the real problem was that FEC awarded the capsule contract to Ibori and we are still awaiting delivery 3 mths later. There is a probe going on to unravel this and retrieve the award sum before we get to the issue of what formula to adopt for the rescue and which miner comes out first. Meanwhile traditional rulers from the miners' towns are paying solidarity visits to the President to thank him for his efforts to rescue the miners.
And the First lady has just invited the wives of the Nigerian miners to Abuja for dinner at the Hilton!


The first ladies from the 36 states will also be in attendance. All including the wives of the miners will wear the Goodluck for President Ankara.
CNN reported early this morning that after 10mths underground all the 33 Nigerian miners have died and the Nigerian govt has declared 7 days of mourning during which the Nigerian flag will be flown at half mast.

Can anyone please tell me, Preferably somewhere around Ikeja and Ogba in Lagos.

sorry about what happened to you but how do people know who a new born baby resembles ?

A 28-year-old mother who beat her first daughter to death when she was teaching her tells TOYOSI OGUNSEYE that it was unintentional. A HUNGRY man is an angry man. Hope Odu, a mother of five, has proved that this popular maxim also applies to women.Odu, 28, is being detained at the State Criminal Investigations Department, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, for allegedly beating her five-year-old daughter, Uchechi, to death in their one-room apartment.

On the day the incident happened, the family of seven had only beans for breakfast. It was learnt that Uchechi refused to eat because she didn‘t like beans, but there was no other food in their room located in an uncompleted building at No 7, Tolashade Close, Igando, Lagos.

After the other children ate the beans and Odu breastfed her last child, who is eight-months-old, she started teaching them how to write. According to Odu, who has a Senior Secondary School Certificate, even though she was poor, she didn‘t want her children to end up like her.

In fluent English, she says, ”I know the importance of education and I made sure I teach my children how to write every day. I want them to be better than me because after my senior secondary school education, I got pregnant for their father and could not go any further.”

On May 11, 2010, while she was teaching her children, including Uchechi, who had not eaten, she put a cane beside her to let them know that she was not playing with them.

According to the housewife, she started the tutorials by asking her first two children to write numerals, while Uchechi was asked to write the alphabets, A-C. But the little girl did not know it. So her mother brought out her cane and spanked her twice on the buttocks. As Odu was about to strike her daughter the third time, Uchechi fainted.

Odu says, ”I had been teaching her how to write the alphabets for some time. That morning, I asked her to write A to C for me but she did not get it. I brought out the N20 cane I used to spank them and beat her twice on her buttocks.

To my surprise, she fainted when I wanted to beat her the third time. I lifted her hands, but there was no life in it. I dressed her up and rushed her to the General Hospital at Igando. When I got there, the doctor on duty asked me what happened to her and I told him everything that occurred.

”The first thing the doctor said was that Uchechi had no blood in her. He complained that she did not look like a child that was well taken care of. When he finished examining her, he confirmed that she was dead. I started crying and called my husband on the phone. I didn‘t mean to kill her.

She was my first daughter and we were very good friends. How can I murder a child that I carried in my womb for nine months? I bought that cane to instil discipline into them. Uchechi was my pet; I used to plait her hair myself. I loved her very much.”

When Odu‘s husband got to the hospital, he didn‘t have money to discharge his daughter. He told his wife that he needed to go to his office the following day to get some money. The next day, he still didn‘t have the funds, so the deceased was taken to the mortuary by the hospital.

Neighbours who learnt that Uchechi was dead alerted the Igando Police Station and Odu was arrested on May 12. The light-skinned native of Owerri Local Government, Imo State, says that she was not surprised when the doctor told her that her daughter lacked blood. ”Uchechi and her older brother were living with my mother-in-law in Abuja since 2007,” she says.

”I have to let you know that my husband did not tell me that his mother was going to take two of my children away. I came back one day in 2007 and did not meet them at home. When I asked my husband about their whereabouts, he told me that that my mother-in-law came and took them with her. I had to bring them back to live with me in Lagos because I was not happy with their condition.

“I visited Abuja twice and my children did not look like they were well taken care of; they looked unkempt. Before my second son was taken away, he was going to school in Lagos but that stopped when they got to Abuja. Even Uchechi was not enrolled in a school.

”When I brought them back in February this year, I took them to a ‘lesson‘ in our neighbourhood and ensured that I also taught them daily. I was going to register them in schools come September. When they returned from Abuja, I noticed that Uchechi was always vomiting after eating and was always falling down.

I bought worm expeller for her because I initially thought she had too many worms in her stomach but her condition did not improve. I don‘t know Uchechi‘s genotype but I know that her blood group is O. I told my husband to give me money to take her to the hospital because I am a housewife who does not have anything. My husband would tell me that he would give me money tomorrow. His tomorrow never came and now my daughter is dead.”

Our correspondent however learnt that Odu‘s mother-in-law took the children away from her to reduce the burden of the family. A police source said, ”Everything that happened to this family boils down to poverty. The day her husband came to visit her in detention, he was wearing tattered clothes and had no transport money to go back home. They are living in abject poverty.

”How won‘t a five-year-old who had no food in her stomach die? Obviously, those children were not fed balanced diets. The suspect‘s mother-in-law who sells cooked food in Abuja told us that she could not bear to see her first son‘s children go hungry. She took them to Abuja with her to ease the burden of the family. She even told us that she used to give Odu money monthly and had offered to rent a one-room apartment for the suspect in Abuja in addition to giving her money to trade which she turned down.”

Odu, whose husband is yet to pay her bride price, however says that her husband‘s mother was being economical with the truth.

”My mother-in-law lives in a one-room apartment in Abuja,” she counters. ”When my children were with her, there were eight of them sharing that room, including her husband. All that talk of helping get a job and an apartment near her is not true. I went to Abuja and she did not put any of her words into action. It is also not true that she gave me money monthly. It was only once that she sent me N1,000 recharge card and I sold it for N800. She said all that to impress the police.”

The suspect, whose husband is a 29-year-old local government worker, says she has learnt a lot of hard lessons and begs for forgiveness. She says, ”I beg the police not to charge me to court. I want Nigerians to beg the police for me.

“I didn‘t kill my daughter intentionally. If I go to prison, it will not serve any good. Who will take care of my five children including my eight-month-old baby? I‘m very sorry.”

The public relations officer of the Lagos State Police Command, Mr. Frank Mba, says that the police will perform their constitutional duty. Mba, a superintendent of police, says, ”The matter was transferred to SCID from Igando Police Station. Our job is to investigate the murder which we are doing to the best of our abilities.”

All the said is the truth, Can anyone tell me where said the opposite?

Fingers should be pointed at Dagrin before any other thing, If there aren't street lights,his car had a full light.We are used to driving without street lights in Naija.Sometimes,I feel the guy was indulged in some Juju to blow up and that's why he sang a song like "If I die".Guess he was told time is up.Whichever way the Dude was good at what he did and yes I'll miss him.

Funke akindele, She's not a good actor and even got annoyed with the attitude she exhibited in GUS.Ganging up with others against Muma Gee.Muma Gee is far ahead of her age wise but she disrespected her a lot.That's not part of the Yoruba Tradition.She's good when it comes to production and directing though.

Mercy Aigbe, Some Dumb Ugly girl that feels she's sexy.I swear,I won't bleep she and Funke for free.

Emeka Ike is an Idiot.I don't know how someone like that ever got to Nollywood.

Fathia Balogun, Forms too much and fails to interpret roles well.

ABUJA – The end or rather the reduction of GSM aided crime might be around the corner as the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) gears up to begin a mandatory SIM Cards registration exercise, billed to begin in May. Currently, there have an unprecedented criminal activities perpetrated with the aid of GSM phones; and the ordinary Nigerian has been the worst hit.

Recently, the NCC organized a Consumer Forum with the theme: “SIM Card registration: A veritable tool for consumer protection.”

According to the commission, if all SIM cards are registered, it will become easy to track whoever uses GSM phone for criminal activities. With this scheme, everybody is expected to register his/her SIM Card from May 2010.

Observers have described this plan by NCC as a step towards the right direction and hoped that the scheme will be effectively pursued. In the developed countries, you cannot just purchase a SIM card off the shelves as it is done in Nigeria. For you to own a GSM phone, the SIM card has to be duly registered.


Nigerians never take things serious, Let's see how this goes.

This is what I tell people about Personality, People will always take you for granted if you're not financially buoyant.I don't see someone accusing me of duping her of #10,000 cos of course she knows am worth tens of millions.Your Story is very unfortunate Dude, May God see you through.

Bye

We hope to see more goals in this cracking football match, Action Congress 1 vs People's democratic Party 1.

One other thing is hope you know how to prevent hackers from hacking into other people's box ?.Has any customer ever complained?If yes that is another reason why people fail to patronize cafes.I know of a Cafe lots of people used patronize in my neighborhood.Lots of yahoo boys would say they like it cos whenever they browsed there,they made money.

After some years some customers started complaining about people hacking into their box.The owner failed to do something about it and that's how the Cafe closed down.So that's another thing to look out for.

How do we know this is real?Woman don't stoop that low.Most especially the one wey be Oga.

Well I must commend the Poster for her boldness.I have gone for the test twice and thank God am negative, I went for the last test some 2 weeks ago.The reason why I went for it is because I kept getting infected with Malaria and funny enough the Malaria hasn't left me since have been treating it since December.Am thinking of going for another test just in case there was a mistake in the last one .


With the awareness,have got now,I will be the last Nigger to stigmatize an hiv positive patient.I advice everyone to go for the test.Early detection helps.Someone in South Africa has been living with HIV for 27 years.We all know MAJIC JOHNSON ,this is his 18th year . So?

The guy's the best Fuji Musician in Naija at the moment

If you bring 100 people who look like to my presence,I will easily pick out which is Lagbaja.This is not him.

Adebayor linked to Chelsea?That must be in his dreams.This news is not on the foreign so I wonder where una get una own from .

http://www.tribune.com.ng/index.php/sports/2285-adebayor-set-to-quit-man-city.html

EMMANUEL Adebayor's future at Manchester City is already in doubt.

The African attacker is one of the highest paid players in the country and has only played 18 times in the Premier League for the Eastlands outfit.

City's plans for next season depend largely on the future of Roberto Mancini, but they also face a battle to hold on to Adebayor.

The latest training ground rumblings at City suggest the club will have a fight on their hands to keep hold of the Togo forward.

Adebayor had his heart set on a move to Chelsea last summer and only moved to City because they were the only club to match Arsenal's asking price and his frightening salary demands.

The 26-year-old has a decent return of a goal every other game in the league this term.

Lawyer you're not being Old fashioned.I won't criticize people like your friend but since that's his choice he should be left to face the music in future.Most people say such words like the same God that provided the money for them to rent houses in the City will provide more.Have seen a lot of them that end up in a room apartment in the so called slums when they once had an opportunity to build a Home there.

I can tolerate every other misbehaviors in a relationship but cheating,

but why would the 'mistake' be happening in the middle of the nite?

That's the same thing that came to my mind, Well maybe it's because her Generator is not on at nights and she needed the phone as a means of illumination,

Odunnu:
While u r bzy ramming her,make sure u dnt evr have a wife,cz what goes around,comes around.
Hapi forking

Well am sorry to disappoint you as I don't do neighborhood chicks not to talk of a married one.My dignity is very important to me.I suspect her because I have once seen her with a Man whom I later confirmed wasn't her husband&she's mostly home alone cos her husband is usually away for work.
