Nigeria is a place where you can do anything and get away with
it because it's Lawless. Too many opportunities. If you quit blaming
the government for the sad state of your lives and take advantage
of the confusion, your life can turn around in a split.

Politics › Governor Gbenga Daniel May Be Tried For The Murder Of Dipo Dina! by baslone(op): 5:35pm On Feb 11, 2011
The current political battle in Ogun State that has pitched former President Olusegun Obasanjo
against the state governor, Justin Olugbenga Daniel, may assume a dramatic dimension as Mr.
Obasanjo has gone to work to unearth several crimes committed by the governor, several sources
have told SaharaReporters.



Our sources said Mr. Obasanjo had vowed to use his political muscle to prosecute Governor Daniel
over the midnight murder of Dipo Dina, a political opponent of Mr. Daniel’s and a gubernatorial aspirant under the ACN.



Mr. Dina was shot dead January 25, 2010 by suspected assassins around Covenant University in the
Ota area of Ogun State close to the Obasanjo Farm.
 A police source told SaharaReporters that the police
have since completed investigations. “Our investigations linked Governor Daniel to the assassination, but
for political reasons we have not been allowed to charge the governor with the murder of Chief Dina.”

It is
not the first time Governor Daniel would be shielded from facing the consequences of his criminal activities.
In 2006, when Obasanjo was president, Mr. Daniel's widespread looting of state funds were covered up by
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). However, SaharaReporters detailed the governor’s
reckless money laundering activities in the state.

A source told our correspondent that Mr. Obasanjo was now out to use Governor Daniel’s instigation of the
murder of Mr. Dina to turn the heat on Daniel. “Chief Obasanjo has sworn that he’s going to finish Governor
Gbenga Daniel,” said one of our sources.

Mr. Obasanjo and Mr. Daniel have declared war on each other following
a fall-out from their party’s fraudulent state primaries. After conducting two parallel congresses in the state, Mr.
Daniel initially got the electoral commission to accept his slate of candidates, with himself as a senatorial candidate.
However, Mr. Obasanjo had the last laugh when he secured a court order ruling that INEC must adopt his list of candidates.
“Chief Gbenga Daniel lost out in the race to become the PDP’s flag bearer in the senatorial race, but he has refused
to accept defeat,” said an associate of the former president. The governor, who is one of the zonal coordinators
for Goodluck Jonathan's presidential campaign, was conspicuously absent from Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, when
Mr. Jonathan addressed a rally there last week.



Sources told SaharaReporters that Mr. Jonathan has tried to appease Mr. Daniel with the promise of a
ministerial appointment if he wins at the April 2011 presidential election, but the governor has reportedly
remained unimpressed, adamantly threatening to abandon the party for another party willing to accept
him.

Another source revealed that Mr. Jonathan was willing to order the EFCC to institute formal prosecution
of Governor Daniel over his acts of corrupt enrichment if Daniel refuses to be tamed. 

At a rally last week,
Governor Daniel was quoted by newspapers as saying: "I want you to shine your eyes. Those who stole our
vouchers to nail me, where are they today?” This was in veiled reference to Mr. Dina, who spent a fortune
exposing Mr. Daniel's financial scams through forensic exposes in paid newspaper ads.

But an associate of former President Obasanjo said it was Mr. Obasanjo who rallied “the political elders in
Ogun State to quell the uprising generated by Chief Dina's expose.” Protected by Obasanjo, Mr. Daniel was
emboldened to use the police to arrest Mr. Dina.

A source close to Mr. Daniel told SaharaReporters that the governor was not afraid to fight Mr. Obasanjo
to a standstill. He said the former president should be reminded that he had not answered for the murder
of former Attorney General Bola Ige. “Chief Omisore was used to kill Chief Ige, but it is only Chief Daniel
and Chief Ayo Fayose that Obasanjo is fighting,” said the source, adding that the governor had no hand
in the murder of Dina.

Meanwhile this was last weeks punch article.

The University of Ilorin, Kwara State, has been ranked again as the best university in Nigeria by Webometric rating done for universities on the African continent.

The university was earlier ranked number one in Nigeria and number 32 in Africa by the website in 2009. The university slipped to a distant fourth position in Nigeria and 51st in Africa in 2010 before it now attains its number one position in Nigeria and still a distant number 30 in Africa in the latest 2011 Webometric rankings.

The institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, who disclosed this last Friday, noted that the university had to sustain its tempo and activities because other universities were closing the gap between it and the institution in world rankings.

He therefore urged members of the university to be committed. “It is better not to be on top than to be there and crash. I will like to urge all to continue to do their best in their various beats,” he said.

The 4icu.org ranking, which was released last week, shows that only five Nigerian universities are in the league of its best 100 in Africa. Following Unilorin is the University of Ibadan which is number 33 in Africa; then University of Lagos coming third in Nigeria and 34 in Africa, Obafemi Awolowo University fourth in Nigeria, 35 in Africa; while the University of Benin is fifth in Nigeria and 60 in Africa.

I can see you just another typical die hard Chelsea fan. Thats cool though.

By the way, I heard you guys are heading to court after your loss to
Liverpool last night. They sold you Torres without a user manual!! smiley
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Alex Song Vs John Mikel Obi by baslone: 10:11am On Feb 05, 2011
The purchase of Torres is a good deal for chelsea but I believe the problem is not the attack. Personally I
agree why sell him off when the mid-field the problem is the genesis of the problems. He's still good enough
to improve but nonetheless, since they are against the idea let the goal.com contributors go ahead and pay
his wages.

@baslone,
we have been hearing this kind of news even before he signed chelsea. when he signed, ppl like u [/b]told us that with the type of players in chelsea, mikel will die on the bench. when essien was injured, we heard your type told us that mikel is playing bcs essien is not available and that he will go back to the dressing room as soon as essien is ready. when ramiez came, [b]envious and uninformed nigerians told us here that mikel is finished. uncle in all these, we are yet seen any come to pass yet[b] as enemies of progress that most of u are and prophets of doom,[/b] u don't get tired. were u not on nairaland when mikel last yr was rated as the highest passer of the ball in epl? nigerians and nairalanders did not accept that.
if mikel cld finish 3 yrs contract and get another improved 5 yrs, will it be wrong for them to offload him now? what if the one who brought him to chelsea still want him? will chelsea offloading mikel bring him down to your size?[b] put on your candle and be praying to that your poor god [/b]that mikel be offloaded come this summer.
what if ferguson still want him? do u know what it means to have God's favour? can u as a man course someone God has blessed?
[b]as long as u wait for mikel's downfal[/b]l, u might end up waiting forever.
Guy, guy, cool down. . . . why you sounding so aggressive? I thought we were exchanging ideas! Wassup man

song! song!! song!!! as long as nigerians are concerned, mikel does not know how to play.
[b]mikel has played under world class coaches like mourinho, scolari, hiddink, grant and ancelloti [/b]while ferguson wanted to die chasing mikel but apart from the stingy wenger, which other coach has considered song to be a quality player?
All these world class coaches were in charge of just one club-CHELSEA. The coaches
kept changing because the team which includes Mikel were not getting the relevant results.
Period!!

Ferguson wanted to buy him when he was a better player years back. As at this morning in
coming reports, Mikel is one of the five players Chesea wants to offload after the season.
