I am baffled by some of the opinions expressed over this matter. Please let us be objective in our judgment. Just what is Ese after? What does she want to achieve? Yes you had sex with your pastor. What pushed you to have sex with him? That's how ladies throw themselves around young, good looking pastors. Having read some of her write ups, I can only opine that lady Ese is frustrated. Having failed in her x-factor expedition, she is desperately seeking for relevance. She claims she's on a journey of self discovery (or re-discovery) or just trying to renew her relationship with God. I don't think this is the best way to reconcile with God. Your relationship with God is strictly personal just like Pastor Fatoyinbo's. God may have more stringent sanctions for the man of God, but let God do the sanctioning. Ese, you don't need to help God. I read people here berating pastors and even read Ese suggesting that men of God are not necessary in a man's spiritual life. I laugh at her immaturity. So was God unwise to call men to ministry? And you think God lacks the wisdom to save the teeming flock that His Son died for? I seriously think Ese is trying to show off her writing skills. Seems that is all she has to offer here. But she has no reasonable argument.

BrutusOj: kindly call a spade a spade..The major isue here is disrespect to his position as d captain...Would Keshi die if he put a call tru to d captain of d team n let him knws dat he wudnt be needed for a game?I tink u all who rained insults on d outspoken Osaze can see his reasons for goin mad at Keshi

Two wrongs don't make a right. Let's face it, Yobo was wrong to join Osaze and Emenike in granting interviews against the coach. He's the captain and should place the team first always. What he has done would rather break the team than build it. At least Keshi has never gone to the press to tarnish any of his players' image.

mikedore: I hope he (Gej) reads this write up! Truth is bitter.

Don't worry Abati will read and will soon come up with some lame write up. Trust that he will embellish his reply with the usual heavy grammar, displaying his vocabulary power and making less educated ones like us read more than twice to fully grasp his ramblings. I didn't have to re-read a line in Mr Brinkley's write up, simple and delivered in such a style that makes anyone want to read.

Quite profound. Where lies hope?

Much as I'd love this news, it's still difficult to understand. Jobs are not being created, the real sector is practically dead, SMEs struggle to survive, poverty still ravages deep, yet nigerian economy is set to be Africa's largest. Perhaps we would just be fortunate beneficiaries of Jo'burg's misfortunes not particularly down to any milestone achievements of the economic team.

omodapson: Onazi has been disappointing

Martins was equally disappointing, Mikel's long passes were all unproductive, I wonder why the coach didn't stop him.

lightheart: Macho woman tins. Haaa!!

Wonder Woman.

Afam4eva: [size=14pt]Nigeria is not a club but a country. people don't play for their country because of the money they're been paid else they'll opt for a country that will pay them better. Does Nigeria pay them better than than their clubs? yet these players leave the same club sides to honour their nation and if they don't, people like you will call them unpatriotic.[/size]

Afam, don't you think he's going about it wrongly? He shouldn't be singing to the world if he has issues with the coach, what about talking to the captain? I thought they said part of the reason they won the cup was the unity and family spirit in the team. While I agree keshi missed it, Emenike is escalating the matter by starting a fight with the coach in public. As far as I'm concerned, we don't need the information Emenike is feeding us with. It is easy to whip up sentiments with such statements and expectedly he's getting nairaland sympathies already, while the coach is now being called names.

Black Peni5: This is one of Nigeria's biggest problems...We always want to be given special treatment even when we are doing our Jobs.

He was paid for playing for Nigeria. Its not like he was doing charity work and now he is saying he was used.

Rubbish.

Thank you sir. You've spoken well. Should he even be speaking to the press about his coach? Internal issues are best settled internally. There goes our new super eagles. With players like this, we'll soon go back to rock bottom.

Lachynos2k2: HAVENT HE?

Hey bros, you harsh ooo.

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO]Chai! If only boko nonsense would stop. Issues like kidnapping and armed robbery (mainly southern problems) would gradually disappear with the improving economic indices.

One of our major problems in this country is our penchant to engage in 'politics with bitterness'; there's too much politicking in the country and this causes a 'toxic' atmosphere where people/groups don't mind sabotaging the interests and good fortune of the entire country for sectional and personal interests.

Imagine a country where everyone was pulling in the same direction, and 'politics' was done with some civility?[/quote]You're right. Too much politics, even in nairaland. A mature person gives credit to his rival when he gets it right and criticises only verifiable faults. Our politicians (including those in nairaland) should grow up and be more constructive with their criticisms.

Well as far as Nigeria is concerned First bank is the most reliable. It's been around for over a century and has survived many seasons. The bank has just repositioned to go on for another century.

gbrown: finally a sane comment, thank u very much my brother, i just wonder why majority of nigerians tend to join d bandwagon, almost everyone is pouring invectives on osaze without taking time to read and comprehend what he wrote, osaze is d only super eagles player i respect, his passion and zeal for d national team is commendable, at d last afcon tournament in south Africa, osaze would not have wasted those chances that came the way of moses,ideye and musa in d finals

S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ you mean all the other comments are insane? See your life? Like Osaze like gbrown. Always talking carelessly.

gbrown: finally a sane comment, thank u very much my brother, i just wonder why majority of nigerians tend to join d bandwagon, almost everyone is pouring invectives on osaze without taking time to read and comprehend what he wrote, osaze is d only super eagles player i respect, his passion and zeal for d national team is commendable, at d last afcon tournament in south Africa, osaze would not have wasted those chances that came the way of moses,ideye and musa in d finals

Seems you don't know Osaze well. He would not have scored one goal if he was at afcon 2013. He's just too average and doesn't operate at the same level as the guys you mentioned.

Deiok: I am not totaly in support of how osazee is coming out about this issue, but you all should know that all what he is saying there are element of truth, or are you guys trying to pretend that you dont know how the nfa have been running football affairs in this country poorly and selfishly. Well taribo have somthing in the long run to rely on, what of others who weren't previlege like he is, nobody knows if they exist or not.

If a player fails to manage his money well during his playing days and ends up broke when he retires, how is that NFA's problem? Why do Nigerians love free money like this? Many of them have been appointed coaches at various levels just to help them, yet some nigerians think NFA or Fed govt owes them. Did they not receive their agreed allowances and match bonuses when they played? I think people like Osaze and his nairaland supporters should think.

A girl spends the night in your house, you hear some movement later same night and you start shooting thinking it was an intruder. Doesn't sound real to me.

freecocoa: Are you joking or what?
You call this correct investigation? This is about the worst investigation I've read about ever.

Pathetic job by the police, a guilty man might just be set free as a result.

Who will miss her? Mtcheeeew

Godogwu: No offense though but you sound quite dumb. First of all most of these players earn crap to me ( the ones that play in Nigerian clubs) so i believe they fully deserve whatever they are given. I keep saying this; some Nigerians just want to sit in their homes doing nothing while the government provides their every need and I swear you are a nitwit if you think the FG is your mother or father that is meant to feed you.

Do you know Dangote and Adenuga are the highest employers in Nigeria?..... Dangote group is the highest employer of Nigerian youths at the moment. You said you don't know what his foundation is doing? Say that B.S to over 500 million dollars that has been put into that foundation.... Again which youths don't have jobs? The ones with third class degrees? Or the ones that studied mass com and want a job in shell or Nnpc? Please!!!!!!! Have a sit. \_______

The FG gave them honors, cash and plots of land.... They didnt give them 1/50th of the budget..... Just over a million dollars by my calculations. The enterprenuers actually gave more in terms of cash than the FG with roughly $2m from Dangote, $1m from Adenuga, and another $1m from Ovia and Elemelu.

Frankly I believe it's time Africa puts focus in sports, athletics and other aspects of life rather than just education. Everyone is definitely not cut out for school.

Finally you said this only happens in Nigeria yea?

Now have sense

You just said it all. Now leave the dumb folks to keep ranting.

To all those contesting the cash gifts for the SE, I'd like you to see it this way: a group of boys earn us 1.5 dollars (over N225m) and the government spends just about that sum on them, what is wastefulness there? I just think a lot of people have joined the popular bus of anti-govt persons. It has become fashionable to criticise the govt even when it's obviously the most stupid position to take. Please take it easy.

TimePiece: Good for the Super Eagles and the technical crew but i'd like to know again the economic worth of this win for the country.

People like you get on my nerves. What's wrong with winning the nations cup? You mean they shouldn't have won it abi? Economic importance my foot! Mtcheeeew!

Sunkaeme: Pls do u mean the same man I was watching interviewing Quintoine Fortune of South Africa on Channel TV last nite & went on break around 9.40pm & didn't continue?

Toyin Ibitoye was the man that interviewed Fortune and that was a repeat of Thursday edition hosted by Toyin. But Joe started the programme yesterday,guess he couldn't continue. Such a sad sad sad news.

Kenneth Omeruo is my man of the match, he kept Drogba quiet throughout.

I'm really proud to be a Nigerian! Great job eagles. Thank you.

Guys time is running out.

soma042: my whole body vibrating. Abeg which drug if fit take oo

Alagbin.

Seriously, these carnivals have legalised nudity in public places. Not in anyway a decent family TV show else responsible parents could invite their children to watch. To say I'm dissappointed with these states is an understatement. Call it self righteousness if you like, but I find the show down right despicable. What are we teaching our daughters? That it is now attractive to parade her naked body on the streets to the satisfaction of men (young and old) in the name of carnival? Tufiakwa. May God have mercy on us.

geeez: The Minister of Aviation looks very cosmetic and that's exactly her approach to aviation business in Nigeria. Remodeling airports which I think should be concessioned and not addressing the real issues like safety and security of passengers. Even the runways are in pitiable states. She prefers some cosmetic surgery as treatment for a skin disease rather than address the underlying cause. It's a shame

Hey Nigerians!!! Can anyone please you? Our airports that looked like Ekene dili chukwu parks in the past are being given a facelift and people are complaining. Nobody is arguing about safety here, S̶̲̥̅Ơ̴̴̴̴̴̴͡ don't digress.

Billyonaire: Nigeria's problem is structural deficiency called Federal Character ... which is another way for 'we stupidly do not want to let the state governments have powers'. And the solution lies with the National Assembly. Some day, someone will teach us that the only form of government that can work is 'Confederal System' where each state will have their Police departments to tackle security and immigration. Each state will control her resources and pay royalties to Abuja. Each State will take her destiny in her hands and give her people a better life. There is no way on Earth that someone in Abuja will understand the plight of people in my village, but a state government and local government chairmen do. Even Jesus Christ cant be a good President of Nigeria cos the system has structural defect and the sooner we change it the better. China and USA got their governing structure right. AUTONOMY OF STATES OR REGIONS IS THE WAY FORWARD.

My dear some states have no resources except sand. The confederation idea is a good one, but it won't be fair on some states. The poorer states lack infrastructure and any meaningful development. Even the wealth of the richer states has been plundered and looted by our thieving politicians. Nigeria needs drastic unconventional intervention. Some folks need to be eliminated or exiled for this land to survive.

Michaeljones36: I hope to god that Nigerians elect a real President in 2015.

There is nothing stopping Nigeria from becoming a rich country like Brazil, Japan, China, Germany, and others, except that you continually vote for TERRIBLE leaders.

Let me ask you a question. Why would you vote for GEJ when you KNOW that you have much better leaders in your country?

If you like PDP, why not someone that actually did SOMETHING like Donald Duke or Godswill Akabio?
If you like ACN/CPC/ANPP why not Fashola or someone else?

YOU HAVE GOOD LEADERS! THE PROBLEM IS THAT YOU DON'T VOTE FOR THEM.

For the love of god, please hear the cries of black people all over the world and vote in a real leader. We are rooting for you!

Point of correction sir. We don't vote bad leaders. They've always had power, same military personnel transiting nicely to politicians and with PDP providing a ready platform it was even easier. Today their power is absolute as they control everything from judiciary to legislature, therefore there can be no legal way of challenging them talk less of taking power. The opposition is populated by disgruntled former PDP members (Audu Ogbeh, Tom Ikimi), not the kind of men you want as leaders. That's why everyone lives for himself in Nigeria. I shouldn't be more patriotic than my leaders.

Sincere 9gerian: These kids on NL cant stop being silly. Why would the president of a country be scared or lack confidence? Scared of who? I just dont understand these bad losers.

I agree GEJ is not a powerful public speaker like Obama, Rochas or Fashola and sometimes does not prepare well for interviews but Jonathan is Jonathan and governance is not all about giving powerful speeches here and there.

Suggestions that GEJ is scared or lacked confidence for whatever reason can only come from depraved minds and silly fault-finders.

I've always defended GEJ. But I must admit that he's not articulate. He appears overwhelmed when faced with probing questions. Your answers don't always have to be superb but you should at least appear convinced about what you're saying. You must sound believable.

acadasol: He was not composed. Didn't u see how his lips were moving in an uncordinated manner, looking down as if boko was around. Seriously, I am a neutral fellow when it comes to GEJ matters but the interview I watched tonight forced me to talk. Guy! You have watched Obama talked na. You go fear confidence. Let's tell ourselves the truth. GEJ is not the man for Naija Job. Shikena...

GEJ is not the right man for the job. Well said, very soon they'll make a stark lunatic president because some people have become more powerful than the constitution of this land. Sorry to say, it's almost a hopeless situation. Power in the hands of thugs, what do you expect?
