Ercell Overton and Joshua King - sound like Yardie idiots?

RIP big man - In the states like Naija - not every brother is your brother.

Anybody know the procedure for getting a UK passport from the embassy in Abuja. My wife is based in Abuja, but I (british citizen) am on a 3-month contract in Lens (France). I have tried calling the embassy contact numbers but have been getting the runaround...call back tomorrow, call lagos, wrong section-try visa/try consular. They even gave me a mobile number which just rings and rings while eating up my international phone card.

I know my daughter will qualify as British Citizen by descent. Anybody know the fee to be paid and how long the process takes. I know that I will have to submit my british passport, pikin birth certificate, marriage cert etc...

Does anybody have a valid number or contact in the Embassy?

Thanks in advance

May the Lord give Bob Attuh (lower picture) the strength to raise his children without his beloved wife.

Our concern and thoughts go to all of the victims and their families and loved ones left behind. Amen

It is sad, that we see photos and make instant commentary on a person that we know nothing about. Plenty naija men have married for looks of their wife and don enter divorce courts soon after. A guy should choose his wife based on 80% charachter...because when she treats you right, she will look like Nefertiti to you.

If your wife dey look like Beyonce and give you pepe....you will see her looking like Patience Jonathan during argument.
I know one Naija guy who marry Francais after trying Naija girls. He said comparing 'his' relationships, the naija one was like eating mcdonalds while his wife na three course meal in upscale brasserie. The level of commitment, understanding and emotional maturity was on a different level. Each to their own house.

John - enjoy yourself na!

Brothers and sisters, let's start this properly.

Every day at 9pm (no matter where you live) - outside your front door or near a window - collect a pot and something hard and bang the pot for one minute. This will serve as a reminder that we have not forgotten about their injustice and a call to arms that we are watching the courts to ensure they deal with the perpetrators.

Pot-bangers will not receive a celeb bank endorsement or plane tickets to shop in dubai. But something far more profound on the level of camaraderie and brotherhood.

Chop already don begin. Naija army must eat na. Why do you think there are so many arms in free delivery and supply around Naija.

Only reason boko is strong is because the army is so weak. During Civil War, different Naija battalions would fight for equipment at the Lagos docks. United we stand, divided we chop.

Soon we will see 'EFCC arrests Funmi Afolayan, orange seller - for over-pricing N50 naira orange as N80 - illegal gain of N3,000 in one day' with her photo splashed all over national papers.

One of the policemen, named Ikpi Ikpi, an inspector, was said to have been ambushed in the early hours of Wednesday.

An eyewitness, who craved anonymity, said Ikpi and some of his men were going for a raid in company with some residents when he met his untimely death.

The eyewitness said, “It was around 4am on Wednesday when Ikpi went for a raid in the community. But unknown to him, some hoodlums from Ikorodu had laid siege to the community.

“Because the community was enveloped in darkness at that time, the Inspector and his men were unaware of the hoodlums’ presence. Ikpi was hit by a bullet fired by the hoodlums.”

He said the other policeman, who died on Thursday, was cut with machete on Tuesday, when the hoodlums numbering over 100 first invaded the community.

Some ignorant fool was saying how Nigerians do not use machete in Nigeria...above crime is from Lagos yesterday. Machete use is in Naija DNA. We have no fear of brutality. 10 million Nigerians could be chopped up tomorrow in a Rwanada pogrom - nothing dey happen. The reason why the event has hit home is because we see the 'Nigerian-ness' in their behaviour despite them living 2,000 km away and having had a minimal link with the country.

An apple does not fall too far from the tree?

NONSENSE...Nigerian Butchers dey plenty...especially violent, radical muslims

But the murder and beheading last December of Gideon Akaluka, a young Igbo trader who allegedly desecrated the Koran, and a new outbreak of riots in May have kept the city of three million people on a knife edge.

Akaluka was arrested in December after his wife allegedly used pages of the Koran as toilet paper for her baby. After he was imprisoned by the police, a group of Muslims broke into the jail, killed him, and walked around the city parading his severed head.

But Akaluka's lawyer said he had obtained affidavits which proved that his client was not at the compound at the time and that the woman allegedly guilty of the offence was not his wife. No one has been arrested for Akaluka's murder.

The other attacker named by UK press is Chinedu Lawal Splendour Solebo.

Kill them all, as I have always said..sometime ethnic cleansing is the solution....

My broda, you can keep your Hutu/Tutsi cockroach talk for Cameroon - abeg!

It is amazing how intelligent the whole of nairaland members are while all the politicians in Nigeria are all clueless.
This man Okorocha is getting involved with the people directly. He is close to the traditional rulers, youths, market women etc.. And every bigot here is complaining and condemning..

Please tell us how you will tackle unemployment if you become a gvoernor?

I would ban trousers...it is too hot to wear it in Naija. Everyone must wear shorts or instant fine of 25K or 20 days working in state prison gang (cleaning roads, building houses, planting yams etc...)

The spare cloth saved would be added together to make special 'Imo shorts' for exports sale only so that much needed forex go enter state coffers. I would get South Africa Pro female twerkers (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UMzHIFw7Yo) to do music video to make the style popular. Put the youth to work in the factory to make the shorts.

Also ban mobile phone use for those without job. All unemployed pesins must report to village chief at 6am for communal work, all unemployed men longer than 1 year to be castrated. Their balls sent to china for export delicacy. Dem chinko no waste anything.

Oya, thyat is how I start Imo jobless revolution

The only certainty is how many people will die this time around. The masses are more hungry this time so I can see some vicious blood-letting taking place...

circa 20-100,000 lives will be lost unfortunately. RIP in advance

Enangson: One thing am so sure about myself in 2015 during the elections is that i will be indoors at home playing games, watching T.v and following the elections update on Nairaland.[color=#990000][/color]

Coward

Figment - You no get sense at all. Enangson is one sharp guy. He is someone that understands that his life means more to him than running out on the road, holding a placard for 'political ghosts'. When, not if, the mobs turn violent, they will look to use their machetes on other victims. GEJ or Buhari are not worth dying for.

Do you hear the ghosts speaking about the victims of 2011, (corpers, orange sellers etc...) They have been long forgotten. Did they pay for Enangson's education, training and development up to date.

I wished the whole country stayed indoors to vote over that period to show the politicians that their ideas, lies and charades are redundant.

This brother is a proper Naija bruiser - who dey chop Fufu and Fish head stew plenty then go terrorise skinny oyibo players. Come check his story na...

Do you know any other big players that can carry powa for boxing ring?


For a heavy guy, Adebayo Akinfenwa's personality is as light as a feather.

The 16-stone Northampton Town striker, 396lb bench presser, creator of "Beast Mode" and "fat Eddie Murphy" could carry the weight of the world on his broad shoulders and still be as cool as a cucumber. Albeit a massive one.

After coming through a torrent of racist abuse as an 18-year-old playing in Lithuania and soaking up constant jibes for his ample frame, the 31-year-old will not be losing any sleep over Saturday's League Two play-off final against Bradford at Wembley.

In fact, he will most likely be drawing on his self-constructed ethos - titled Beast Mode On - to inspire his effort of promoting the Cobblers to League One.
Feeling the love
Northampton Town

Team-mate Clarke Carlisle on Bayo: "Because the profession is transient, it's very rare you meet life friends. He is one of my few life friends.

"He's an intelligent, deep and emotional man. What he contributes to the unity of the group is huge.

"I love him so much. When Beast Mode is on, no team can stop him."

Team-mate Kelvin Langmead: "He's a colossus of a man. But he's more than his size. Off the pitch his stature as a man, his personality is huge.

"You can't go anywhere without someone wanting a photo with him. We have to leave him to it."

"Beast Mode On is a state of mind. People will always focus on my size and think 'he's a beast', that's what Beast Mode is," the bulking frontman, squeezing into a fold-down stadium chair at Northampton's Sixfields ground, told BBC Sport.

"But Beast Mode has been since the day I was born. It's about applying yourself and defying the limitations people put on you.

"People said I'm too big to play football. One hundred goals later, I'm not. There are no limitations to what you want to do."

One hundred and twenty seven goals from 373 games across nine different Football League clubs, to be precise.

That career was set upon from five years of age, with a determination to emulate his hero John Barnes.

Born to Nigerian parents in London - a Muslim father and Christian mother - Akinfenwa's outlook, his relaxed demeanour and nonchalant disposition, are imbued with the faith he attached himself to as a child.

"When Ramadan was on dad made us fast and then I had to read the Bible every day and go to church," he said.

"My faith came from my mum, I swayed towards the Bible - mum drummed it into us every day.

"I'm not a saint. I go through troubling times. But my faith does get me through.

"People say I'm relaxed - I'm blessed in what I do. I can make thousands of people happy with what I do.

Despite forging a career around the lower reaches of the Football League, the seeds of Akinfenwa's professional journey were planted in the Lithuanian port town of Klaipeda.

Akinfenwa on how he gets mistaken for an NFL player because of his physique

After trials with clubs at home, including nine months at Watford, and being told "he's got the ability but maybe he's a bit big", the beast moved east in search of a team and was stunned by what would greet him at FK Atlantas.

Akinfenwa recalls the chant his own supporters would sing at him in his first game, littered with foul, offensive and racial language. It almost persuaded him to zip up his suitcase and head back to England.

"We're going back 13 years. Coming from London, where nobody would disrespect me, this was just brazen," he said.

"I was by myself, aged 18. I was the first black person in the league and one of the few black people in the town I was in.

"I didn't expect it at all. To the level it was on my first game, I just could not believe it. I got on the phone to my brother and said 'bruv, these guys they're racist, I'm coming home'.

"He said, 'I'd never tell you to stay somewhere you don't want to be. But you can leave and let them win or you can stay and prove them wrong'.

"I slept on it and I was like 'there ain't nobody going to run me out of nowhere'.

"We got to the cup final, I scored the only goal and it changed. I got abuse from away fans but my own fans took to me. I came back thinking 'if I can handle that there is nothing in the football world I can't handle'."
Bayo's career

FK Atlantas (2001-03)
Barry Town (2003)
Boston United (2003)
Leyton Orient (2003)
Rushden & Diamonds (2003-04)
Doncaster Rovers (2004)
Torquay United (2004-05)
Swansea City (2005-07)
Millwall (2007-08)
Northampton (2008-10)
Gillingham (2010-2011)
Northampton (2011-present)

These days the former Swansea and Gillingham man is more accustomed to flak for his size, rather than the colour of his skin, and, to a certain point, welcomes the attention.

"I laugh at that. That does not faze me whatsoever," he said.

"It would affect me if I wasn't hitting the goals I was setting for myself. I feel my goalscoring record sits very nicely.

"If fans want to heckle me, that's cool. Once I'm off that pitch and you try to disrespect me to my face it's a different story.

"My favourite chant is 'you're just a fat Eddie Murphy'. When I heard that I could not stop laughing. I would prefer a muscular Eddie Murphy.

"But when they give me stick I take it in, wrap it up and give it back."

By his own admission, Akinfenwa "was always a big guy", and his size is supplemented by his thirst for the gym.

Egged on by his brother, Akinfenwa once bench pressed 180kg in the presence of a journalist and his power was recognised when a popular football video game made him the strongest player within their virtual world.

"Every once in a while I have to catch myself and remember I am a footballer. Football's about running around - some people will say I don't run around, but I'll argue that point," he said.

"The manager reins me in because he knows I like to push some weights. I know what my body needs to get through a season."

Akinfenwa, who hopes to mentor children when he retires, has never been at any one club for more than 30 months, apart from Northampton where across two spells he has accrued four and a half years of service.

In his first full season at Sixfields, the 2008-09 campaign, he suffered relegation to League Two and, with his contract expiring this summer, a return to the third tier could possibly be his last contribution to Aidy Boothroyd's side.

"This is like my home away from home. I can't speak enough about how the fans have taken me to their heart," he said.

"On Saturday we can't get too emotional, as hard as it is. If we can do that I truly believe we can win. It would be beautiful and a fitting tribute to right a relegation with a promotion."

Sanboy - I dey fear you well, well my broda!

We are crying please and please remove those igbo soldiers who have no respect for hausas, they kill us without thinking twice and commandeer our sisters and daughters.

Hate begets hate my broda. My advice for you is to move from Maiduguri. We had to leave the East after seeing your soldier brodas waylay our kith and kin daily at roadblocks, motorways. Nigeria is just a nigger area unfortunately.

Prof Corruption and Cap - you both get sense - the population of Nigeria have effectively been kidnapped by the elite (who share money with no form of tribal distinctions). I made a satirical post on April Fools day that Naija is an open air mental asylum - all good satire is based on truth.

Revolution will not come from inside Nigeria - it will come from ideas from outside.

Olympic sport for long-throat pesins. That Madam should be flogged in an open square, destroying the mentality of our youth.

I just did the test (link above) and while answering questions, I thought of a lot of people I have met who were described fully in certain descriptions in the test. It should be a secondary part of our driving test in Nigeria - if you fail am, you cannot drive.

Please copy and paste your results, make I see whom I need to avoid, sharp, sharp.

I saw him on Tottenham High road, opposite White Hart Lane last thursday. The guy was dressed in full 'London agbero' outfit - grey tracksuit bottoms and open toe sandals - steady chillin' on road in one of the most rugged manors in London. He is super chilled - drives a Smart car and takes the underground - he refuses to get into the hype of football and live an unsustainable life.

He will not be asking anyone for money after his career is over.
