Hmmm! Mugu fall,guy man go wack! Open your eyes very well and investigate. Never send money to personal accounts. See what you are buying before paying. There are too many unrepentant fraudsters prowling the internet looking for who to devour. A word is enough for the wise.
No matter what we feel about Rooney this season, he has dug us out of a deep hole and created history before our eyes. Congrats. Scoring 250 goals in this league is not an easy task.
Tadeus: They wil lift it soon. Nigerian Senate hav appealed to Mr president to lift it.

Newsroom NG “I still chat with ex-wife Funmi Iyanda” – Segun Odegbami says Rotimi Akinola 10 months ago Categories: General News Tags: football, funmi iyanda, new dawn at 10, news, nigeria, NTA, segun odegbami, sports Segun Odegbami on TVC, Friday. Photo: Your View TVC. Segun Odegbami on TVC, Friday. Photo: Your View TVC. Nigerian football legend Segun Odegbami’s marriage to TV star Funmi Iyanda may have hit the rocks.
But the ex-footballer says he still “enjoys a good relationship” with the former New Dawn at 10 presenter.
Odegami appeared on TVC’s talk show Your View on Friday morning.
The all-female host crew asked the 63-year-old some questions.
Funmi Iyanda and Odegbami have a daughter, Morenike. He was asked about his failed marriage to Nigerian TV star Funmi Iyanda.
“That’s a hard one and I can’t really talk about it”, Odegbami said.
“But we’re still good friends and we still communicate. We have a daughter between us.”
Odegbami already had three children from another marriage before going for Iyanda. Their marriage produced Morenike, their daughter.
However, Odegbami later married Oyindamola Adeyemi in 2010.
“We had irreconcilable differences and had to part ways”, Odegbami said about his love story with Iyanda..
I thought this woman destroyed Segun Odegbamis marriage and married him in the late 1980s. If I am not mistaken she had a child for him before things fell apart and they divorced.
We had a bad day at the office,but I would still take one point over zero points. I prefer to look at the positives. Pogba had a bad game but he will get better.
naptu2: You'd probably also like this documentary. They went to northern Nigeria to interview some of the Nigerian soldiers that fought in World War Two.
naptu2: Barnaby Philips was the BBC's Nigeria correspondent in the early 2000s/late '90s (I remember when President Obasanjo tongue lashed him during an edition of the Presidential Media Chat). He did a documentary in which he interviewed some Nigerians and Ghanaians who fought in the Second World War. I first heard that documentary in the late '90s/early 2000s. He is now an Al-Jazeera correspondent and he did this documentary for them. Enjoy "Burma Boy".
Where are the critics and naysayers? Jose Mourinho is slowly making them chew on large slices of humble pie. One leg in the EFL cup final. Now onto smash Liverpool on Sunday and shut the naysayers mouths.
bomasek: In essence u gonna smuggle in the car abi?
Of course now. He can not answer the simple questions raised by themadame because he has no answers. He plans to smuggle the vehicles through one of the numerous unapproved, illegal footpaths and then forge the customs papers. A word is enough for the wise. Any one is free to buy a vehicle through him but don't come here to open a pity party thread if your vehicle is later impounded and seized by the customs. To be forewarned is to be ..........
desquad: nawa for this bad belle above me,, what do you wanna do with your findings about all this?
Just trying to derail a thread created to appraise a genuine and humble man testified already by many
My friend, She has asked him cogent questions. Nobody doubts that he is a humble man but the question she is asking is how is he going to procure genuine documents for the vehicle . What is the point of importing a vehicle with no genuine documents in the customs data base? So after clearing a vehicle it should be intercepted at Onitsha,Aba,Asaba or Katsina Ala and confiscated? I can understand the guy has his fans but he should come clean and answer the questions raised. We don't want to hear stories that touch the heart here. Inspired,fortunateval,Chicky234.and triple A are quite enough on this auto section. He should answer the simple questions.
First of all the OP should correct himself,this is the 1978 challenge cup final between Enugu Rangers and Bendel Insurance of Benin.
It was not a league match.
Bendel Insurance made up of unknown players like captain Felix Agbonifo,David Adiele,Henry Ogboe, Kadiri Ikhana,Leotis Boateng, and Peter Eghareva came out of nowhere to beat Enugu Rangers made up of national players like Emma Okala,Christian Chukwu,Christian Madu and Alloy Atuegbu. Bendel Insurance won this match at the National stadium at Surulere 3 -0 with two goals from Henry Ogboe and one goal from Peter Eghareva. Ironically Insurance also defeated IICC shooting stars 2-0.in the semi finals. Rangers and Shooting stars were the biggest teams in Nigeria then and after beating the two teams to win the challenge cup most Insurance players became stars and became national team players. Ikhana,Agbonifo, Adiele,Ogboe and Boateng and Eghareva went on to have careers in the National team and some of them were part of the 1980 AFCON winning team.
wickedboi: @predatorX Please be clear on the issue with tadeus cos I'm about concluding a transaction with him, infact tomorrow. Please confirm before I enter one chance
The government has banned the importation of vehicles through the land borders from 1St January 2017. How will this guy bring in the vehicle except to smuggle it in through the numerous bus paths between Nigeria and Benin Republic,and that is if he can avoid the numerous customs patrol teams. However the question you should ask yourself is how is he going to regulate the customs documents since government has banned entry through land borders? The answer is falsification of documents and fraudulent evasion of customs duty. Or will he import through Cotonou and go and pay duty at Tin can or Apapa ports? I saw him assuring potential victims that he can bring in the vehicles successfully and chuckled. Stories that touch the heart potentially loading................
Four goals scored,none conceded. Great! Even though it was championship opposition. I am so impressed with how Phil Jones has improved and attacks every aerial ball in the box with aggression. Just hope he can stay fit and avoid injury. I have also been impressed with Rojo and Smalling, Jose has really improved the mentality and confidence of this team. We can only get better. Now on to the mid week League cup semi final against Hull,however the most important game is against Liverpool next weekend-if we win that match it sets the cat among the birds.
aflyingbird: "Vagina is SO TIGHT?" after childbirth? Women complain abt loose vagina after childbirth, not tight. After childbirth kegels won't tighten the vagina to the point of making penetration difficult. We're talking about popping out a baby from the vagina.
Someone like u who does splits on dickks shouldn't even be talking abt tight vagina, ya know?
Haba, we don't need this. Make your point without throwing jabs please.
naptu2: I always use Daily Times as an example of the damage that government ownership can do.
Daily Times was the biggest newspaper in Nigeria! I mean, they owned West Africa Magazine (the only international magazine by Africans and for Africans) !
They published Drum and Spear magazines, had Evening Times, Times Leisure Services, Miss Nigeria, etc. It was the best newspaper!
But by the early 1980s it had become an "obituary newspaper" (that's what we called it). I convinced my dad to stop buying Daily Times because there was nothing in it but obituaries. No news.
naptu2: I originally planned to create this thread a year ago, but I never had the time until now. That was in my original draft that I wrote a year ago.
It became a government propaganda tool in the mid '80s and people lost interest in it. Then came soap operas like Mirror In The Sun, Ripples, Behind The Clouds and Supple Blues, which took the shine off it.
In order to be able to compete, the producers introduced the character of the returnee prince and tried to make it a bit more like the other soap operas, but it was too late.
Propaganda killed the Village headmaster. The New village headmaster and the new Masquerade became tools of propaganda in the hands of the Military governments of the day. Each new military government used these programs of the people to express their fake government policies and as such killed interest in the programmes. The military killed the Daily Times too. Sad.
naptu2: Yeah, I know that the Oloja and Eleyinmi were added to the show later (I indicated that in my writeup), but that was in the first series (the first series ran from 1968-1984. The second series ran from 1985-1991).
Hope you remember the episodes where Chief Elenyinmi and teacher Garuba conspired to overthrow the Oloja Ajelende and Headmaster Ife Araba. It was a reflection on Dimkas coup against General Murtala Muhammad in 1976. That was when the Military government of General Obasanjo started using the series to play politics. By the time the New Village headmaster became a political megaphone lots of people began to lose interest.
naptu2: Yeah, I know that the Oloja and Eleyinmi were added to the show later (I indicated that in my writeup), but that was in the first series (the first series ran from 1968-1984. The second series ran from 1985-1991).
And the gongs that heralded the beginning of the programe. Gbagan! Gbagaun!! Gbaun!!! It was like it was a summons to come and watch and share in a story about a village that was a mirror of Nigeria. Once again thanks to Naptu2.
bababuff: 20) Lawyer Iyanda (played by Sam Agbebi). He appeared many years after the first lawyer. The Oloja and Chief Eleyinmi often called him "Baby Lawyer".
Iyanda, used to be the palace messenger before he traveled, and later returned to Oja as a lawyer.
You forgot chief Faderin (hunter of rabbits, rats and cockroaches) according to Eleyinmi. He is also a member of the Oja customary court judges.
Very correct. Iyanda was the palace messenger before he traveled out and returned to the New Village headmaster as Lawyer Iyanda and put the Chairman of the Oja village customary court right on a lot of his archaic judgements. The chairman of the Oja customary court was Chief Elenyinmi,whose hands were always hidden under his flowing agbada gown. Nostalgia. Naptu2, your threads always stir memories. Thank you sir.
1) Kabiyesi, The Oloja of Oja, Oba Adelende the 2nd (played by Dejumo Lewis). Early 1970s-1990. He was the king of the village. I loved the way that he said "Moi People" (my people) and the way he ascended the steps to his throne. He would climb up the steps, reverse back down, climb up again, reverse again and climb up a third time before sitting on the throne. He often settled disputes in his palace and was the main authority figure in the village. He was a very wise King.
2) Headmaster, Mr Gabriel Fagade (played by Ted Mukoro) 1968-1972. He was the first village headmaster.
3) Headmaster, Mr Ife Araba (played by Femi Robinson) 1972-1984. He was the second village headmaster (and my first village headmaster). He often had to clear up the misconceptions of the people, especially about new government policies, technology or new developments in the town. He was always a voice of reason and he was often the one who helped to restore sanity after Amebo's rumours had caused confusion in the village. There were many episodes that ended with the headmaster explaining to the Oloja how the crisis in the village was started and advising him on how such problems could be avoided in future.
Femi Robinson later hosted Shopper's Guide on NTA2 Channel 5 (1984-1987).
4) Headmaster, Mr Cosmas Aderibigbe Ali (played by Justus Esiri) 1985-1990. He was the headmaster throughout the second series. I remember the first episode in which he appeared. The storyline was that Mr Ife Araba was transferred to Jebaco and Mr Cosmas Aderibigbe Ali was transferred from Jebaco to Oja. He had a wife (whose screen name I can't remember, but, in real life, she served as a minister in Goodluck Jonathan's administration), a very beautiful daughter called Laraba and a relative called Doyin. One of the first episodes of the second series (New Village Headmaster) revolved around friction between Laraba and Doyin. Laraba also got a lot of romantic proposals from the teachers in Oja, especially teachers Garuba and Oghene, but she wasn't interested in any of them. I think Mr Garuba had an affair with Doyin, but I can't remember for sure.
5) Chief (Nicodemus Ologbenla) Eleyinmi (played by Funsho Adeolu). Early 1970s - 1990. This was one of the most interesting characters on the show. He was the second in command to the Oloja (sort of like a prime minister or vice president of the village). He was also the president of the customary court. He had a lot of bombastic catch phrases like, "with immediate effect and automatic alacrity", "konkobility", "nonsense and ingredients", etc. He also created nicknames for many of the characters in the village (some of which were not very flattering).
He was a force for good and often helped the Oloja to solve the problems of the village.
6) Councillor Balogun (played by Wole Amele). Early 1980s-early 1990s. Councillor Balogun was an over-ambitious politician, whose ambition usually led to crisis in the village. He was often at loggerheads with the palace, but often ended up apologising to the Oloja.
He was fond of challenging Chief Eleyinmi's position (because he felt that he was more important than Eleyinmi) and whenever Councillor Balogun was pleading with the Oloja for mercy, Eleyinmi would advocate that Councillor Balogun should be punished severely for the problems that he caused in the village.
Councillor Balogun was also probably the richest person in the village.
Wole Amele, who played the role of Councilor Balogun, later became an oba in real life.
7) Amebo (played by Ibidun Alison). She is the village gossip and bar owner. Chief Eleyinmi often called her "Radio Oja". She is usually well intentioned, but she's not well educated and she often stumbles on information that she doesn't quite understand, misinterpretes it and spreads her misinterpreted story all over the village. This often leads to crisis and confusion.
Amebo would often quietly enter the palace while an important discussion is going on and she would sit down unnoticed. Then, after a while, Eleyinmi would notice her and immediately stop speaking. He would call her "Radio Oja" and rain his humorous and indirect insults on her. She would protest to the Oloja, who would stop Eleyinmi from teasing her. Then Eleyinmi would suggest that they continue their discussion later (when Amebo is not around). But it's already too late, Ambo has already heard and misunderstood part of what's being said.
8 ) Sisi Clara (played by Elsie Olusola). 1968-1988. Clara Fagade was the wife of the first village headmaster, Gabriel Fagade. She was Amebo's friend, but she was much smarter than Amebo (she had native intelligence). She would often rebuke Amebo when she starts gossiping. Sisi Clara was a businesswoman, but I can't quite remember what her business was (I think she was a seamstress). I was in awe of this woman. She proved that what teachers and parents said was not true. Parents and teachers often tried to stop kids from speaking pidgin English, because they believed that it would impair the child's ability to speak proper English, but Chief (Mrs) Elsie Olusola spoke the sweetest Waffi when she was in character and spoke flawless Queen's English in real life.
9) Gorimapa (played by Albert Olayemi). Gorimapa was the palace servant, messenger and town crier. He was known for his close-shaven head and he often sat at the foot of the throne. Chief Eleyinmi called him, "Gorimapa Adorin Sahara Desert" (while rubbing Gorimapa's shaved head).
10) "Dr" Bassey Okon (played by the great JAB Adu). 1968- c1984. He was the first owner of the village chemist/supermarket. He was a dispenser in Burma during World War 2. He was called "Doctor", even though he wasn't actually a doctor. I loved the way that he exclaimed "Chai! Chai! Chai!"
JAB Adu was one of my favourite actors and it seemed like I had been watching him on TV all my life. I first got to know him from the Village Headmaster and Adio Family in the late 1970s and early 1980s, then he played the lead role in The Turning Wheel on OGTV in the mid1980s. He did a sitcom on a private tv station in the late 1990s (I can't remember the name of the sitcom), then he was on Story, Story - Voices From The Market Place on BBC World Service Radio in the late 1990s and 2000s. He then acted in a few episodes of Tinsel, where he played the part of Fred Ade Williams' doctor and then he acted in Livin' In Lagos (a sitcom) in 2010.
11) Okoro (played by the great Jimmy Johnson). early 1980s- c1988. Jimmy Johnson was the second owner of the chemist/supermarket. He was very fond of his snuff box and people can easily remember the very loud sneezing that accompanied his sessions with his snuff. He also had a short temper.
12) Boniface (played by Asuquo Ukwak). He was the sales boy at the village chemist. Chief Eleyinmi called him, "Boniface, Boni-nose, Boni-mouth". He was unhappy because he felt that he was better educated than his bosses (Bassey Okon and Okoro). An arranged marriage was once organised for him, but he fled when he discovered that his bride to be was a little child.
13) Kokonsari (played by Leke Ajao). He was the village chief priest.
14) Dagbolu (played by Dan Imoudu). I'll use the first episode he appeared in to describe him.
Councillor Balogun was up to his usual mischief and the Oloja and Eleyinmi tried to call him to order, but he brought a powerful socerer called Dagbolu to the palace. A mystic battle ensued between Dagbolu and Kokonsari. Unbelievably, Dagbolu was able to overpower Kokonsari and the Oloja fell ill at the end of the battle.
The Oloja was ill and nobody was allowed to see him. Ambo overhead a conversation about the Oloja's illness, misunderstood it and went to the streets to spread a rumour that the Oloja was dead.
There was confusion in the village. There was a rumour that the Oloja was dead, but palace officials insisted that he wasn't dead, yet nobody could see him. Who would lead the village? Who would provide direction?
Councillor Balogun returned to the palace with Dagbolu , disrespected Eleyinmi and was about to sit on the throne when the Oloja came out of the inner chamber. Dagbolu tried to recite his incantations, but he fainted and then we were reminded that the Oloja was the igbakeji orisa (lieutenant of the gods).
Apologies for any errors. I wrote all of that from memory.
15) Teacher Garuba (played by Joe Layode). He was a pompous, but grumpy teacher, who was unhappy about his position in life (he felt that he deserved better). He often drank away his unhappiness at Amebo's bar. Teacher Garuba competed with Teacher Oghene for the affections of Laraba and later Doyin.
16) Teacher Oghene (played by Melville Obriango). He was known for his white shirt, tie, shorts and cane. He was a more cheerful teacher than Teacher Garuba and he often got into conflicts with Garuba (who was much older than him). Teacher Garuba was grumpy and did things by the book. He had an exaggerated sense of his own importance. Teacher Oghene was more cheerful and approachable.
17) Policeman (played by Enebeli Elebuwa). I can't remember his actual name in the show (he was always addressed by his title, Inspector). He was the policeman who came down from Jebaco to resolve problems in Oja.
Enebeli Elebuwa was typecast as a policeman in my mind, because he also later played the role of a policeman (Inspector Ben Alamu) in the Turning Wheel.
18) Fathia Okon (played by Roseline Birch). She was "Dr" Bassey Okon's teenage daughter, who helped him in the shop.
19) Lawyer (played by Albert Egbe). I also can't remember his screen name, but he handled cases in Eleyinmi's court.
Albert Egbe later acted in Jagua Nana's Daughter and was the first Basi in Basi And Company.
20) Lawyer Iyanda (played by Sam Agbebi). He appeared many years after the first lawyer. The Oloja and Chief Eleyinmi often called him "Baby Lawyer".
21) Chief Afilaka. I've been trying to remember his screen name, but I couldn't until someone reminded me a few days ago. That's because I remember him by the name that Eleyinmi often called him, "Chief Tain Tain".
Chief Afilaka was never seen without a toothpick in his mouth and Eleyinmi labelled him Chief Tain Tain, mimicking the sound that he makes when he is picking his teeth. Eleyinmi didn't like Chief Afilaka because he was richer than him.
22) The Prince (1989-1990). In order to compete with the very popular soap operas like Ripples, Supple Blues and Behind The Clouds that debuted in the late 1980s, producers of Village Headmaster introduced the character of the Prince. He was the Oloja's son who had been in the US for a very long time and suddenly returned to Oja.
23) Mrs Ali (played by Patricia Akwashiki). She was Cosmas Aderibigbe Ali's wife. Patricia Akwashiki was the last minister of information in the Goodluck Jonathan administration.
24) Lakunle Ojo (played by Layi Ashadele).
There are other people whose names I remember, but I don't remember the roles they played.
25) Iluyomade. There was a character called Iluyomade. I'm certain of it. I remember the Oloja saying the name Iluyomade, but I don't remember what his role was.
26) Chief Aribabu. I also remember that there was someone called Aribabu and that he was always in conflict with Councillor Balogun, but I don't remember anything else about him.
Great job Naptu2. You brought back memories of my childhood. The Village headmaster ran on NTV on Sunday's at 8 'o clock in the evenings. Of course television stations closed at 12midnight and resumed at 4 pm in the evenings the next day so The Village headmaster was prime time television before the news at 9pm. My whole family would gather around our JVC black and white 20 inch television with wooden sliding doors to watch the grainy pictures and pray ECN(PHCH) would not strike until the programme ended. And I am talking about the original series with Ted Mukoro as headmaster,Elsie Olusola as Sisi Clara, Ibidun Allison as Amebo,Joe Layode as teacher Garuba, Layi Ashadele as Ojo Yewuge, and Jab Adu as Dr Bassey Okon. I hope you are aware that in the original series there was no Kabiyesi Ajelende or Chief Elenyinmi, they were characters later added as the series progressed. And if I remember correctly Bassey Okon daughter in the first few episodes was called Ekaette.
A team dropped points yesterday,another one or two will drop points today. United just need to keep winning their games. The league is never won in November.
macjireh: . ManU fans I like ur optimism.... livpul have been 6 points behind just Chelsea since beginning of December yet could not reduce d gap....now u are just 5 points behind 2nd with 4teams on d log and u think u can smell 2nd with ease..... well I can only say top 4 is most possible for united but I cannot say 2nd place is easy.....wetin even kosign me seff.... na we don already win league make una dey kee una sefff
Cut the team some slack. West Ham were well organised defensively and once they went a man down the all sat back waiting for a quick counter. We need to understand that the premier League is a tough league to win. While other leagues go on winter break,the premier league does not. The number of games played over the Christmas to New Year period is taxing on the players. Considering the number of games played over the holiday period I think we played very well today and in the end got three points,scored two goals and did not conceded any. That is top four form.
