dontjealousme: dontjealousme: Why should the rascal Aregbesola announce himself winner in an on going election? Causing voters to either vote for him or give up and return home. APC is a sick party. The election will be settled in court.



pdp was leading then APC started announcing themselves as winner of the election still in process. Can u imagine.


That is fraud.

it wldav bn easy to ignore but ur stupidity came out strong....even under heavy security, people voted without any drama and yet u stay on nairaland and act like a coward......apc won, accept defeat and let Nigeria be great like how fayemi accepted defeat.....simple

ikorodu's king died and a curfew or restriction of movement has been declared and I thought it is even a good thing. If the FG/Health ministry had put a few days curfew, they would have restricted the spread of the ebola virus......the spread through body fluids will reduce and contaminated/infected people will be easy to track...infact the health minister should have resigned/sacked for negligence of duty. Airport should have been filled with health workers before the virus got into the country......it is not too late and if it's for few days, a curfew should help us restrict the spread

I think it comes at a good time. It could in a way curtail ebola spread....infact the nation should declare a 2day break/curfew to hinder ebola spread....those with symptoms will be discovered.....Health minister shd resign asap

Mynd44: Seun, I don't know about this raw food thingy oooo. I have had dogs for a long time now, I don't feed them raw food and they are okay. I don't experience the bad breath or yellow teeth cos we make sure we clean their mouth at regular intervals......

About the poop, I inspect their poop most times and the poop comes out as poop no semi-processed food so I assume the food is completely digested. My dogs go on a steady diest of rice and boiled fish. My sister and her husband are even trying out a new diet of Crayfish with theirs, the dogs seem to love it so far without and side effects.

I really don't like feeding my dogs raw food, I don't want them liking the scent of blood for any reason as we have kids around em. You might say there is no direct relationship but none of my dogs will touch raw meat even when you give them. Although they have bitten overzealous guests once or twice , they seem to stop at immobilizing rather than actually bitting and feeding on the person as they don't really like raw meat and blood.

You need to create a balance, do you want pets or guard dogs which will be trained killers. If you have kids around the area where your dogs live and play, raw meat is a no no.

My mum did have a boerbull to herself once, silly dog. She ate everything my mum ate including apples, pineapples, groundnuts, coconuts and developed a special likeness for garden eggs

Actually, fruits are good for dogs. Water melon, lettuce,apple even oranges but don't give dem grapes, onions or raisins...

oba009: The Super Eagles duo were not listed in in the 26-man squad for the tour which was released by Jose Mourinho on Monday. Anglo-Nigerian youngster Dominic Solanke was however named

in the squad along with the newly-signed trio of Cesc Fabregas , Diego Costa and Filipe Luis.

The future of both players at the club has been in doubt in recent times.

Moses was farmed out on loan to Liverpool last season, but following an unsuccessful spell with the Reds and multiplicity of options at Stamford Bridge, his future currently hangs in the balance.

Mikel on the other hand, has been unsettled at the club since the turn of the year having lost his place in the team to Nemanja Matic.

The 27-year-old has already been told to look for new employers, with the club agreeing to lower their asking price.

irvingia: BY AZUKA ONWUKA

It is difficult to say if Igbo and Yoruba are friends or enemies or merely tolerating each other. On the surface, they seem to be friends, because you rarely hear of any clashes or killings between the two in over 100 years. People from the two ethnic groups work together, live together, laugh together, worship together, and play together. Everything seems all right. Nobody wants to be seen as publicly making any comment seen as tribalistic or intolerant.

But if you look deeper, there seems to be something you cannot truly place a finger on. It’s like a volcano waiting for the least provocation to
erupt. It only needs an excerpt from Chinua Achebe’s There Was a Country to be made public, or for Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos to
“deport” some Igbo to Onitsha for hell to be let loose. Commentators immediately line up behind their ethnic groups, releasing venom against the
other side. Luckily, such altercations usually end in words and not in violent acts.

But on Nigerian online sites like the punchng.com and others, where commentators can use anonymous names, such fights are a daily affair,
and they always get embarrassingly nasty. At such times, combatants throw caution to the wind and rake up gut-wrenching jibes dripping of hate and bordering on insanity. You wonder if the purveyors of such vitriol would feel at ease afterwards interacting with someone from the ethnic group they have maligned so viciously. Some see it as fun, but many don’t. They see it as a war that must be won at all costs.

Regrettably, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, whose direct and indirect action and
inaction sowed the seed of hate and distrust between the Igbo and the Yoruba, have died without uprooting that dangerous plant or even
denying it water and nutrients. Therefore, till this day, the Igbo and Yoruba still enjoy shooting at each other with accusations of betrayal,
expansionism, hate, ingratitude, greed, as well as trying to prove that each ethnic group is superior to the other.

And it seems the contest for superiority is at the root of that frosty relationship. The Igbo and Yoruba are unarguably the most competitive in
Nigeria. They are the ethnic groups that easily and forcefully ask for the removal of quota system in all national life. They believe that if things are done on merit, they will excel. The Igbo think that the Yoruba are the major competitors they have in Nigeria, while the Yoruba think that the Igbo are the key competitors they have in Nigeria. This shows in almost all spheres of life. The Yoruba had a head-start in western education
because the British colonialists and missionaries arrived on their land first. The Igbo, who resisted and rejected the British initially, eventually
accepted them and thereby began a sprint to catch up with the Yoruba. And they succeeded.

Whatever the Igbo achieve, the Yoruba have an answer to it, and whatever the Yoruba achieve the Igbo have a response. So, if you have a Wole Soyinka from the South-West winning the first Nobel Prize for Literature in Africa, you have a Chinua Achebe from the South-East holding the record of the most popular and most-selling literary writer in Africa. If you have a Rangers International Football Club of Enugu shaking the
Nigerian football scene in the 1970s and early 80s, you have the Shooting Stars Football Club of Ibadan shining brightly at the same period. If
Rashidi Yekini is noted for scoring Nigeria’s first World Cup goal and being Nigeria’s all-time highest goal scorer, then Nwankwo Kanu boasts of
being Nigeria’s most decorated footballer, while Austin Jay-Jay Okocha flaunts his status as Nigeria’s most glamorous and mesmerising
footballer. If Genevieve Nnaji boasts of being named by Oprah Winfrey in 2009 among the most popular people in the world, Omotola Jalade-
Ekeinde will show off her name in TIME magazine’s most influential people of 2013. If P-Square and Flavour think they rock the music scene, D’Banj and Davido smash the charts.

So, in all areas of life, the Igbo and the Yoruba are competing, and in the process boosting the nation’s economy and bringing glory to the nation.
Yet, some inferiority-complex-afflicted people who feel threatened within each of the ethnic groups look for every excuse to spread hate among the two peoples. My close study of the Igbo and the Yoruba makes me see them as the Germans and the French of Nigeria respectively. Even the Igbo language is like the German language in many respects. In German and Igbo, there are no silent words. Excluding a few words in Germans which are sounded differently from the way the English sound theirs (like “j” which is pronounced like “y,” “w” which is pronounced as “v,” etc), whatever you say in both languages is what you write. For example, the “g” is always pronounced /g/ in Igbo and German and
never as “j.” “Danke” and “obante” are pronounced as written.

But in French and Yoruba, what you say may be different from how you write it. Some letters are either silent or semi-silent. For example, the
Yoruba and the French would pronounce “san” as if it were “saw,” or “son,” but the Igbo and Germans would pronounce it /san/: exactly the
way it is spelt. Also, the “h” is usually silent or glossed over in French and Yoruba: Hospital or Kehinde. The Igbo and the German are bullish and
technology-minded. They have fought and lost wars but staged successful comebacks in a short time. Conversely, the Yoruba and the French are subtle and supercilious, with good administrative skills, regaling in their years of history and culture. A country that has such two success-driven ethnic groups should be at a great advantage. The Yoruba have been great hosts to the Igbo; and the Igbo have reciprocated by contributing immensely to the building of Yoruba land, especially Lagos State, including buying swamps at a high price and turning such places to residential or commercial estates. The sleepiness of Lagos during the Christmas-New Year period, when the Igbo usually travel home en masse, bears testimony to their contribution to making Lagos lively.

Just like the French always wish they could cut the Germans to size, so do the Yoruba to the Igbo, but it will never work. And just as the Germans always try to flaunt their success at the French, so do the Igbo do to the Yoruba, but it is completely pointless. The Yoruba can never be like the Igbo, and the Igbo can never be like the Yoruba. There is nothing the Yoruba can do to suppress the Igbo neither is there anything the Igbo can do to suppress the Yoruba. Both of them can actually succeed without the other, but working closely together will be very beneficial to each of them as well as the nation. The younger generations are forging greater ties, despite the baggage of enmity the older
generations handed over to them. Working together, attending church together and living together seem to have increased the rate of marriage between the two people. Most Sundays when I look at the church bulletin, I see increasing higher number of banns of marriage between Yoruba and Igbo people. These days, it is common to see women whose names are Temilade Amadi or Ngozi Adesanya because of marriage. The ethnic barriers are being broken, even though ethnic jingoists continue to spread hate. Such hate speech and thoughts need to be stopped, for ethnic bloodshed or xenophobia does not burst out in one day.

Since the older generations are passing away without bringing these two great ethnic groups together, the onus is on those born after the Civil
War to consciously take steps to bring the two ethnic groups together for their own good and for the good of the nation. It is high time this Tom and Jerry relationship between the two ethnic groups ended, for the good of both and the nation at large.

Playboy meets heartbroken girl in a bar. They had a one night stand; boy thinks she's a slut but she was a virgin. When he woke up, she was gone....another Cinderella story? Nope because she didn't even leave her shoe; no phone numbers..she vanished into thin air....One night stand wasn't enough for both of them......Read and enjoy the weekly series of the romance story of Simon and Nonye; you won't regret it...........realyans./2014/04/30/troubled-series-links-to-the-parts/

Jaypee Anics: Aslong as I'm consigned...tinunbu is a stupid leader...he ddnt do anytin durin his tenure....fashola is evn beta dan him.....all he is afta is makn money...and doing busines....na him get LAGbus,TVC, tvc mini cable(jst lik go tv),oil company and so on....he wnt 4d senate, he won but he couldn't stay cus he has a bad record so he decided 2put his wife.....and worst of all he formed APC aka Amoured Personnal Carrier or Anti Progress Congress....d mst confused party in d history of 9ja....jst watch n see dey will hav a big problem in choosing won 2 represnt dem in 2015 presidntl election.....boko sponsors.....gerout.....

Like seriously? Who went abroad before Fashola came into the picture to price and plan the Lagbus even without federal allocation. Who continued with Marwa's agenda of taking touts/area boys off d street? Just give him credit for even identifying a good successor in Fashola.

Yobo use to make a lot of mistakes and he was left out for a year. But since replacing the injured Oboabona; he has not put a foot wrong. Goals against argentina were not his fault; a genius was at work here - Messi. Rojo's goal was from Emenike's inability to watch his target's Movement. Instead of criticizing them; we should be praising them especially when NFF has been playing politics with their money. Keshi has also been justified by benching Moses because Musa, Babatunde and Osaze stepped up. I know Moses will do that now that he has a lot of competition. We should praise and support them. France has a lot of weaknesses too and don't even have that fear factor that the argentines have. Go Eagles; Go Nigeria

Messi started the game on d bench looking eager to be back on his natural habitat. The biggest cheer of the night followed
with 30minutes or less to go, when Messi returned to
action for the first time since November,
replacing Andres Iniesta.
The Argentine almost provided a goal for
Pedro, too, bursting down the left and
clipping a delightful cross to the far post
which the Spaniard just failed to reach.
But it didn't take him long to make his
mark. Busquets clipped the ball through
to Montoya and Messi calmly rolled in
the rebound to send Camp Nou into
raptures.
Messi then rippled the side netting with
a wicked free kick before he capped a wonderful and brilliant night for the hosts with the goal
of the game. Substitute Alex Song
played him through behind the defence
and Messi raced clear before firing high
and hard past Codina to put the tie all-
but-beyond Getafe.
Messi is back!!!...

jude4us: I was in a public transport yesterday with a brother and was surprised to see a couple who expressed their love at first sight. The surprise wasn't really in the fact that both were only little kids but because they never knew each other until yesterday. They communicated surreptitiously right behind their mothers' back; enjoying the oblivion of both grown-up women. The girl was the first to attract the attention of the "dulling" boy but sonner than later, he requitted the girl's feelings with a touch on her shoulder. Hence, I went all paparazzi on dem kids! I could only get 2 adorable shots to avoid suspicion (and maybe slaps) from their mothers. Wheew... Peeps, I hope you love them!! Enjoy.



P.S-
Please, don't blame me for my "ámèbo". It was worth it tho. LOL
