His words: “Frankly, I cannot promise a hitch-free examination because we are testing certain things.

“We are changing certain things; we want to question the status quo and we expect a fight back by interests that will be trampled upon."

Speaking on the state of the board, he said: “We are going to be as flexible as humanly possible; we are not promising hitch free examination."

They are both good options. I pray God bless them with a realistic means of getting him paid.

Go, Golden Eaglets go! God that has helped you thus far will grant you victory against Mexico. At the end of the game we'll say "merci boku" to them. Mexico must fall.

The horse is prepared for the day if battle but the victory is of the Lord. May His mercy smile on us that day!

Two thieves that have been terrorising the people of Ebrumede in Effurun, Delta State were caught and beat to stupor before being rescued by the men of Ebrumede Police station. They have traced a lonely Woman as she drove into her compound at about 8pm, but unknown to the thieves that some neighbours staying opposite the house have gone to call guys from a nearby drinking joint. One of them was identified as a regular customer that has stolen cars and other valuables from the people in the area. Report has it that he has once being arrested and released after serving his time at Okere Prison.

I doubt if there is a better name to call those bunch of players than being ridiculous. They've lost a golden chance, especially the confused strikers running into themselves always.

I've been experiencing similar issues for sometimes & I was even thinking that my decoder was about having problem until I read this- I promptly sent them a tweet below is my tweet & their defensive response; @DStvNg My decoder freezes, changes channels on its own & re-boots/scans which takes ages to complete. Pls what is actually the problem?
@DStvNg: @belovedbest We are sorry to hear this. This may be a technical problem. Please contact your installer to check and rectify. ~CN

It is a matter of time before the wish of the moderator comes to pass. I seriously wonder how a public servant of her status would like to be a willling tool in the hands of our inconsistent politician, she will soon find herself lonely in "an issle of Pathmos" where she will learn the bitter lesson. Her over-zealiousness will soon land her somewhere. DSS that should be a silent security operator is now louder than "a nite of a thousand laff". Fingers crossed!

[quote author=dontjealousme][b]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.
IS THIS A JOKE? So, INEC is also now an APC member? Why is it difficult for Nigerians to reason straight. PDP was leading where? Or were you monitoring the election from a billaterally inverted position?

Thank God for Glo at the advent of GSM in Nigeria, an average Nigerian wouLd not have been able to use phone, but things have long changed as Glo now offers one of the most expensive tarrif if not the most with 50k/s. Could it be the package I am on or that is just how it is? Could there be a cheaper package, I still prefer it to MTN. Can someone help with info on a better plan?

Thank God, Nigeria is now looking like it. Even if the car is not yet perfect, we shall surely get there. What a joy driving a Nigerian-made car! I mean everything new, over 7500persons employed & many more to come.

The return of a diver. Well, welcome home boy! Chealsea all the way. Up blue.

They no know say awuf dey run belle.

Scene 2 Act 1. These selfish guys will soonhelp to destroy themselves one-by-one. Ride Naija guys, FIFA go bow!

I once doubted them against CIV in Nations cup, they proved me wrong, I no wan repeat am. I would watch believing God for the impossible. Nig 2- 1 Fra.

It shall come to pass! I have always believed you. I'm not saying or expecting Keshi to fail but somehow someday, it will happen. Keshi must have picked one or two lesson(s) from Sia1's mistake especially with the so-called 'big boys'. Though I would have preferred the two coaching SE together-It's gonna be whao!

*With God on our side; we can defeat any team. The fact that we have done it before is an indication of the fact that we can do it again. "Eagle" will feed on the two eyes of "Antelope".

The situation we've found ourseves in Nigeria is so pathetic; where no one may be able to cathegorically say either Public or Private schoo is better. I have taught in more than 5 different schools (from two states) and I can almost safely say Public school is better.........inspite of their many shortcomings. My parameters:
Private schools majorly operate as a business ventures where the sole aim is to better the lot of the proprietor(even at the expense of parents, studends and ofcourse the major victims-Teachers)
Hardly do they have uptodate facilities, ranging from sport field and equipments, well stocked Laboratory/Library etc(Govt may stock its schools once in a long while but that serves generation.
Workload per teacher is terriffic in private school unlike in Public where teacher might not have more than 5periods per week.
Specialisation/professionalism is more visible in public schools than private for example A math teacher, teaches chemistry, physics, even futher Maths and yet still a labour teacher.
Welfare packages and incentives.
Workforce stability(I hope you understand)
There are more qualified teachers in public schools.
Though private schools are equally in grades but overall Public to me is better!
Performance in National(Cowbell, Awokoya etc) competitions is a better yardstick. How many private schools have ever won any of these awrds? I can't remember one.
Though, I may also conclude that private schools do well in Primary sections but Secondary Education is too complex for most of the private schools.

I pray he atleast take the positive from Jo's comment and decard the rest without necessarily picking up a fight with him. There's always one thing or the other to pick from either a successful man or a failure as the case may be. That's how a star is made, steal from the best and add that to yours. No man is an HIGHLAND![color=#006600][/color]

[color=#000099][/color]I may not have picture of any of the roads since I live far from home, but I was there last two weeks,I saw atleast Gbongan junction(the trumpet bridge by-paSs) work in progress, Ede-Ara-Ejigbo road, various roads in Osogbo. I can assure you despite having schooled in Osogbo, I can't find my way round Osogbo now. I was forced to ask where he's getting or will get money to finance these projects including Water-works under repair in Ede.

I find the story too difficult to believe, I'll advise sport ministry and SWAN to carry out detail investigation of this and sanction NFF or whichever officer, if found culpable. This is really saddening!

YES! It's like saying can God ask you to do what's not convenient. My wife never like not to talk of love when we 1st met, simply because she didn't know me, but she later did after almost 2 years. I equally struggled with the idea of marrying her but we have no regret for our decision till date(4yrs+). What matters is patience & understanding from the other party.

I go to church;
1. Because it's a command 'forsake not the assembly of the brethren'
2. I go to sevice my life & destiny as word connotes 'Sunday Service'.
Just as we take cars to Mechanic workshop for better efficiency, so I takes my life to the One who know how I was formed.
3. To update my life.
4. To constantly scan, quarantine, shield my life and also to delete all forms of Viruse contracted during the week. abbl

Who tell you we fear Somalia? It's going to be 11 vs 11 on that day. Why not wait till then, if we'll not spell Kenya. You may go and ask Ivorians!
