BBC reports that a benefactor has promised a bonus of $30,000 to each Nigerian player should they win gold at the Rio 2016 men’s Olympic football tournament in Brazil.
“I read about the financial problems affecting the team and I felt the need to make a big contribution.
“I am not doing this for media attention but to motivate a team with an indomitable spirit. I fell in love with the Nigerian team because despite all these problems they are in the quarter-finals of the Olympics.
“Whether they win or not, I will still donate something to help alleviate the challenges in paying their bonuses and allowances,” Takasu said.
The Nigeria Football Federation vice-presiden Seyi Akinwunmi said that the footballing body was impressed with Takasu’s kind gesture but stated that the team will not get carried away.
“I have been in direct contact with Mr Takasu and impressed by his gesture, but we need not get carried away because the integrity of the country is at stake.
“First we must check about this. Significantly, the team has an important game and we need to focus on that,” Akinwunmi said.
Recall that the Dream Team were held up in Atlanta for financial reasons and also arrived Brazil six hours before the game against Japan where they managed to scrape through by 5-4 in their opening match.

According to Zuma Times Hausa, a man named Haliru beheaded his mother named Zandi. According to the story, Haliru joined a secret cult and was asked to bring his mother for sacrifice. Here is how Zuma Times Hausa is reporting it, and sorry it's in Hausa, if anyone can translate for us...
"Wani Ya Yi Zindir Sannan Ya Yanka Mahaifiyarsa Don Tsafi
Wani mutum ne mai suna Haliru wanda aka kama ya yi zindir, haihuwar uwarsa sannan yana yanka mahaifiyarsa a yayin da mutane suka falga da abunda ya ke yi sai suka yi saurin fadawa jami'an tsaro.

CSKA Moscow star Ahmed Musa is poised to break the transfer record for a Nigerian player if his transfer to the English Premier League materializes this summer.
It has been reported that Leicester City are willing to splash €30 million to sign the pacy striker from the Muscovites, while Tottenham Hotspur have made a bid in the region of €25 million.
As thing stand, if Musa should sign for one of the English teams, he will break the record currently held by his skipper in the national team John Obi Mikel.
Now 29, Mikel joined Chelsea in 2006 from Lyn Oslo, with the London club paying total transfer fees of 20 million euros.
CSKA Moscow purchased Ahmed Musa from VVV Venlo in January 2012 for five million euros which now seems like a bargain, given that their profit on investment could be as high as 400 percent

Following the highly publicized feud between the Okoye brother, one half of the highly talented classic duo, PSquare, has released an emotional song addressing his late parents.

As strange and unbelievable as it is, the break-up of Africa’s most popular duo, P-Square is actually upon us.

Paul Okoye, one half of the Nigerian RnB act has decided to release a solo single, ‘Call Heaven’.

In the song, a tearful Paul, now called ‘Rudeboy’ expressed his sadness over the crisis rocking the group, lamenting the death of their parents.


He sang: "Make somebody please call heaven...
"Make I tell my mama say e don happen...
"Oh Papa na that level ...eyah...

"Wey I promised you say e no go happen...
"If to say una dey for everything wey dey happen today...

"E for be say we no go misbehave…all man go dey concentrate...
"Wherever you are...we no be who we were…
"Cos if to say una dey for everything wey dey happen today...
"E for be say una go intervene... right now everything na pain...
"See your children dey misbehave...

"See the fans all of them dey shame"

Capt. Russ Wittenberg is a unique individual in that he actually flew two of the planes that were
“hijacked” on 911. Flight “lets roll” 93 and flight 175, the plane that hit the south tower. This is
what he has to say about 911:
Former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot with over 100 combat missions. Retired commercial pilot.
Flew for Pan Am and United Airlines for 35 years. Aircraft flown: Boeing 707, 720, 727, 737, 747,
757, 767, and 777. 30,000+ total hours flown. Had previously flown the actual two United
Airlines aircraft that were hijacked on 9/11 (Flight 93, which impacted in Pennsylvania, and
Flight 175, the second plane to hit the WTC).
Video interview 9/11 Ripple Effect 8/07: “I flew the two actual aircraft which were involved in
9/11; the Fight number 175 and Flight 93, the 757 that allegedly went down in Shanksville and
Flight 175 is the aircraft that’s alleged to have hit the South Tower. I don’t believe it’s possible
for, like I said, for a terrorist, a so-called terrorist to train on a [Cessna] 172, then jump in a
cockpit of a 757-767 class cockpit, and vertical navigate the aircraft, lateral navigate the aircraft,
and fly the airplane at speeds exceeding it’s design limit speed by well over 100 knots, make
high-speed high-banked turns, exceeding — pulling probably 5, 6, 7 G’s. And the aircraft would
literally fall out of the sky. I couldn’t do it and I’m absolutely positive they couldn’t do it.” Article
7/17/05: “The government story they handed us about 9/11 is total B.S. plain and simple.” …
Wittenberg convincingly argued there was absolutely no possibility that Flight 77 could have
“descended 7,000 feet in two minutes, all the while performing a steep 280 degree banked turn
before crashing into the Pentagon’s first floor wall without touching the lawn.”…
“For a guy to just jump into the cockpit and fly like an ace is impossible – there is not one
chance in a thousand,” said Wittenberg, recalling that when he made the jump from Boeing 727’s
to the highly sophisticated computerized characteristics of the 737’s through 767’s it took him
considerable time to feel comfortable flying.”
“The airplane could not have flown at those speeds which they said it did without going into
what they call a high speed stall. The airplane won’t go that fast if you start pulling those high G
maneuvers at those bank angles. … To expect this alleged airplane to run these maneuvers with
a total amateur at the controls is simply ludicrous… It’s roughly a 100 ton airplane. And an
airplane that weighs 100 tons all assembled is still going to have 100 tons of disassembled trash
and parts after it hits a building. There was no wreckage from a 757 at the Pentagon. … The
vehicle that hit the Pentagon was not Flight 77.
We think, as you may have heard before, it was a cruise missile.” http://911underground.com
Editor’s note: For more information on the impact at the Pentagon, see General Stubblebine,
Colonel Nelson, Commander Muga, Lt. Col. Kwiatkowski, Lt. Col. Latas, Major Rokke, Capt.
Davis, Barbara Honegger, April Gallop, Colonel Bunel, and Steve DeChiaro. Member: Pilots for
9/11 Truth Association Statement: “Pilots for 9/11 Truth is an organization of aviation
professionals and pilots throughout the globe that have gathered together for one purpose. We
are committed to seeking the truth surrounding the events of the 11th of September 2001. Our
main focus concentrates on the four flights, maneuvers performed and the reported pilots.
We do not offer theory or point blame. However, we are focused on determining the truth of that
fateful day since the United States Government doesn’t seem to be very forthcoming with
answers.” Member: Scientific Panel Investigating Nine-Eleven Association Statement: “We have
found solid scientific grounds on which to question the interpretation put upon the events of
September 11, 2001 by the Office of the President of the United States of America and
subsequently propagated by the major media of western nations.”

When i hear people say Naija go better, I say keep dreaming


The pastor is milking his flock,

The politician is stealing from the national pot,

The contractor is shortchanging his workers,

The businessman is cheating his customers,
The strong are oppressing the weak,

The employer is treating the employee as a slave,

And other vices too numerous to mention,


And we the future generation, our eye red pass the present generation own,
If i make mistake reach where national cake dey,

Dasuki own go be play,

Cos, I go carry the cake all come keep for my house,

True talk, As crazy as it might sound. Only God go save us.

Thomas Sankara was Burkina Faso’s president from August 1983 until his assassination on October 15, 1987. Perhaps, more than any other African president in living memory, Thomas Sankara, in four years, transformed Burkina Faso from a poor country, dependent on aid, to an economically independent and socially progressive nation.

Thomas Sankara began by purging the deeply entrenched bureaucratic and institutional corruption in Burkina Faso.

He slashed the salaries of ministers and sold off the fleet of exotic cars in the president’s convoy, opting instead for the cheapest brand of car available in Burkina Faso, Renault 5. His salary was $450 per month and he refused to use the air conditioning units in his office, saying that he felt guilty doing so, since very few of his country people could afford it.

Thomas Sankara would not let his portrait be hung in offices and government institutions in Burkina Faso, because every Burkinabe is a Thomas Sankara, he declared. Sankara changed the name of the country from the colonially imposed Upper Volta to Burkina Faso, which means land of upright men.

Thomas Sankara’s achievements are numerous and can only be summarized briefly; within the first year of his leadership, Sankara embarked on an unprecedented mass vaccination program that saw 2.5 million Burkinabe children vaccinated. From an alarming 280 deaths for every 1,000 births, infant mortality was immediately slashed to below 145 deaths per 1,000 live births. Sankara preached self-reliance, he banned the importation of several items into Burkina Faso, and encouraged the growth of the local industry. It was not long before Burkinabes were wearing 100% cotton sourced, woven and tailored in Burkina Faso. From being a net importer of food, Thomas Sankara began to aggressively promote agriculture in Burkina Faso, telling his country people to quit eating imported rice and grain from Europe, said, “let us consume what we ourselves control,” he emphasized.

In less than 4 years, Burkina Faso became self-sufficient in foods production through the redistribution of lands from the hands of corrupt chiefs and land owners to local farmers, and through massive irrigation and fertilizer distribution programs. Thomas Sankara utilized various policies and government assistance to encourage Burkinabes to get education. In less than two years as a president, school attendance jumped from about 10% to a little below 25%, thus overturning the 90% illiteracy rate he met upon assumption of office.

Living way ahead of his time, within 12 months of his leadership, Sankara vigorously pursued a reforestation program that saw over 10 million trees planted around the country in order to push back the encroachment of the Sahara Desert. Uncommon at the time he lived, Sankara stressed women empowerment and campaigned for the dignity of women in a traditional patriarchal society. He also employed women in several government positions and declared a day of solidarity with housewives by mandating their husbands to take on their roles for 24 hours.

A personal fitness enthusiast, Sankara encouraged Burkinabes to be fitted and was regularly seen jogging unaccompanied on the streets of Ouagadougou; his waistline remained the same throughout his tenure as president.

In 1987, during a meeting of African leaders under the auspices of the Organization of African Unity, Thomas Sankara tried to convince his peers to turn their backs on the debt owed western nations. According to him, “debt is a cleverly managed reconquest of Africa. It is a reconquest that turns each one of us into a financial slave.” He would not request for, nor accept aid from the west, noting that “…welfare and aid policies have only ended up disorganizing us, subjugating us, and robbing us of a sense of responsibility for our own economic, political, and cultural affairs. We chose to risk new paths to achieve greater well-being.”

Thomas Sankara was a pan-Africanist who spoke out against apartheid, telling French President Jacques Chirac, during his visit to Burkina Faso, that it was wrong for him to support the apartheid government and that he must be ready to bear the consequences of his actions. Sankara’s policies and his unapologetic anti-imperialist stand made him an enemy of France, Burkina Faso’s former colonial master. He spoke truth to power fearlessly and paid with his life. Upon his assassination, his most valuable possessions were a car, a refrigerator, three guitars, motorcycles, a broken down freezer and about $400 in cash.

In death, Thomas Sankara’s burial place is unkempt and filled with weeds (click to see Thomas Sankara’s graveyard


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY2UpSxXPlw ).

Few young Africans have ever heard of Thomas Sankara. In reality, it is not the assassination of Thomas Sankara that has dealt a lethal blowed to Africa and Africans; it is the assassination of his memory, as manifested in the indifference to his legacy, in the lack of constant reference to his ideals and ideas by Africans, by those who know and those who should know. Among physical and mental dirt and debris lie Africa’s heroes while the younger generations search in vain for role models from among their kind. Africans have therefore, internalized self-abhorrence and the convictions of innate incapability to bring about transformation. Transformation must runs contrary to the African’s DNA, many Africans subconsciously believe.

Africans are not given to celebrating their own heroes, but this must change. It is a colonial legacy that was instituted to establish the inferiority of the colonized and justify colonialism. It was a strategic policy that ensured that Africans celebrated the heroes of their colonial masters, but not that of Africa. Fifty years and counting after colonialism ended, Africa’s curriculum must now be redrafted to reflect the numerous achievements of Africans.

The present generation of Africans is thirsty, searching for where to draw the moral, intellectual and spiritual courage to effect change. The waters to quench the thirst, as other continents have already established, lies fundamentally in history - in Africa’s forbears, men, women and children who experienced much of what most Africans currently experience, but who chose to toe a different path. The media, entertainment industry, civil society groups, writers, institutions and organizations must begin to search out and include African role models, case studies and examples in their contents.

For Africans, the strength desperately needed for the transformation of the continent cannot be drawn from World Bank and IMF policies, from aid and assistance obtained from China, India, the United States or Europe. The strength to transform Africa lies in the foundations laid by uncommon heroes like Thomas Sankara; a man who showed Africa and the world that with a single minded pursuit of purpose, the worst can be made the best, and in record time too.

Following recent startling revelations about their gross financial treachery and squander-mania, after repatriating all of our ill gotten wealth from them back to the Nigerian state using legal means, Sambo Dasuki and his co-conspirators should be tried in a proper court of law and executed by hanging if found guilty or sent to prison for life.

Anything short of the above prescription is a travesty of justice and sacrilegious to the memory of hundreds of thousands of our people murdered in cold blood, maimed and displaced by their Haramite siblings. For the avoidance of doubt, here is a breakdown of Sambo Dasuki's misappropriated $2.1 billion (N420 billion) defence budget to fight Boko Haram:

Raymond Dokpesi-----------2.1billion Naira (campaign for PDP)
Attahiru Bafarawa------------4.6 billion Naira (for spiritual purposes!)
Bode George-----------------100 Million Naira
Peter Odili---------------------100 Million Naira
This leaves N413.1 billion still missing and un-accounted for!
May God save Nigeria and Nigerians. Amen.
Dr. Idris Ahmed.
