I am yet to understand how Customs is culpable if an importer decides to abandon his cargo in the ports till it becomes overtime cargo.
Every importer worth his salt knows that there are laws and regulations guiding importation of goods into Nigeria. If you allow your cargo to stay beyond 28 days in the port complex without clearance,the goods automatically become overtime cargo and will be transfered to Ikorodu to prevent over crowding of port space in Apapa,Tin Can and other main Lagos ports.
Secondly before you auction goods,there must be condemnation by a high court.
The senator probably knows all this but as a typical politician is playing to the gallery.

Aunty Ishilove,
Old skool in mi.
Age ain't nothing but a number.

I also feel some of Fela Ransome Kutis early songs before he became radical,should be on this list such as Ekuro,buy Nigeria,Aya was no, and Ojo Monday,should be on your list.@Naptu2.

Fela did not start music as a social commentator and a lot of his early albums,although not popular are very,very good.
Davido and Lagbaja have tapped into his early songs,modernized ttem and used them to become popular. Even Ebenezer Obey tapped into early Fela songs and made dough.

Ishilove:
Do you have any idea what happened to Florence Ogunro?

Cc naptu2, joseph1832ng

Actually, it is Rosemary Ogunro.She was a broadcaster with FRCN,back in the day,before branching out into moonlighting as a musician. I really don't know what happened to her. Most musicians back in the day were one hit wonders.

The group Osibisa,although mostly populated by Ghanians,had a sprinkling of Nigerians over the years they were on top. I think their song Celebration, should be on the list.
@Naptu2, You have not said anything about the group BLO,which comprised of Lemmy Jackson and Tunde Odunmosu. I can't remember who theN stood for but they were a bad funkified group in the 70s and 80s. They had a song,"Back in time",that used to rock the air waves back in the day.
Oh! Nostalgia.....

And I think the song "Going back to my roots",by Lamont Dozier,should be on this list. The Yoruba lyrics on that song were written by Orlando Julius,although I not sure he was credited on the album.

naptu2:
By the way, welcome to the thread. You are the first person to do what I'm hoping for. You just reminded me of Monkey Come Chop Banana.

I'm hoping that someone will remind me of the name of the hausa song, the name of the artist that sang One Early Morning and the name of that Charlie Boy song.

The hausa song was performed at almost every state occasion in the 1970s and '80s, along with Nike Nike, Iya Ni Wura and Omo Pupa. Almost everybody I ask can remember the tune, but nobody remembers the name of the song or the lyrics.


I had the little 331/3 disc of One Early Morning. It's a James Brown kind of funk song. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the person that sang it.

Charlie Boy released a song in the early 1980s. I later discovered that it's a cover of an older song. I call it Onyiora because I can't remember the actual name of the song, but the chorus, when translated into english, goes something like, "Mad man, he's a madman. Catch him, he's a madman".

I think that Onyiara song was initially sang by multi instrumentalist,Jake Solo. I am not sure but that guy was a bad mudafocker.

naptu2:
Wait! I thought that Dan I is Ghanaian??

I thought his name was Dan Ikechukwu?

I still think Ofege is one of the greatest bands to come out of Nigeria. Their lyrics were just so ahead of their time and most of the songs we have today. And they played real instruments too!
Melvin Ukachi later went Solo and I still feel his lyrics are miles ahead of any of today's stars.

Naptu2,
This your list is not complete without BLO and Jake Solo. What about Dan l- Monkey come chop banana?
Nice list though.

While it is painful to dominate a game so much and not be able to get a goal,we need to take the positives and support the colours /team. United are a work in progress and I am 100% positive that Jose will get it right in the end. Jose is a proven winner and in the end I believe he will make United winners again. It might not be this season but in the end Jose will get this team winning trophies again.

Oasis007:
Lol!

You believe?! Are you watching the Match live at Stamford Bridge?!

Watch the replays. My opinion.

Oasis007:
Those who are pinning the first goal error on Blind need to watch the replay! Smalling should have controlled and cleared the Ball!

Why was he looking at the back?! Why couldn't he contest the ball and clear it?! Thank God we have Bailly at the Back, Chelsea would have spelled United!

I believe De Gea shouted for Smalling to leave the ball for him,unfortunately Pedro was faster.

David Luiz should have been sent off for that dreadful tackle.

Hahahaha!
Where are the naysayers?
3-0 at half time?
More goals to follow.
Then on to Chelsea at the weekend!
Hahahaha!

Hmmmm.

This is saddening.
To think I was sharing the first post by the OP to my followers because I was so touched by the story.
GreatGod2012, may the Almighty God replenish your purse and bless you and your family,because I know what it means to take time out of your busy schedule to visit a person in need,make donations and later find out that the person is a scammer.
To the OP,my sincere advise to you is to retreat from this road that leads nowhere,buckle up and do a honest days hard work.Do you know your fraudulent, unrepentant scamming stories will prevent people with genuine help needs from receiving help?
Do not invite curses on your head.

Chestar5:
so draw is now important than a win Warra u sayin ....

Against a title contender like Liverpool, at Anfield,away. A draw is a very GOOD result

Wingback:
I really hope you didn't bet on a man Utd win because it's about to be a long night for you, a very very long one.

Come back and talk to me when you win 20 fvcking titles!
United till I die.

Hahahaha hahahaha an!
Where are the naysayers?
We went to Anfield and got a draw.
This was supposed to be United's destruction. We were disposed to lie down and get steamrolled.
Hahahahaha!
This is a rivalry,almost like a derby.
Liverpool players will know they have been in a fvcking match!
20 times is no freaking joke.
Come back and talk to me when you win 20.
It is not fvcking easy.
And to the id1ot1c naysayers,-shut the fvck up!
United till I die!

[quote author=FBS post=50287386]A draw will be fine. [/quot


Forget it!
Even Mr Klopp knows his team is in for a match. This is not the Bundesliga. Any team can beat the other in this League because there is nothing like home advantage here.

I still repeat,United can win this match.
The best Liverpool can get from this match is a draw!

Wingback:
I really hope you didn't bet on a man Utd win because it's about to be a long night for you, a very very long one.

Hahahaha.
Your comment is amusing. Are you watching this match at all?

Where are the naysayers?
This match was supposed to be the destruction of Manchester United. We were disposed to lie down and get destroyed.
Hahahahaha!
I repeat,the best Liverpool can get from this match is a draw.
20 times....no be joke.

Hahahaha!
To the naysayers. We are disposed to be 4-0 down by now but we are holding our own.
I repeat Liverpool should be grateful if they get a draw.

[quote author=dopeJemi post=50285701]I had high hopes before but now? I don't know[/qu


Support your colours.

eph12:
Fan of the year. I want to be like you when I grow up






Na joke o

No wahala.
The match go soon start.

Wingback:
Put your mouth where your money is, You know deep down we are going to get beat.



Like I keep saying, Klopps side has 11 Olympic sprinters, there's no way players like Ibra, Mata, Fellaini and co can survive.

How do you want me to put my mouth where my money is? Tell me and I will do it.
Like I said this match is like a derby,even if it isn't one technically.
The worst result is a draw. I am tipping United to win this match.

The lack of confidence among Manchester United fans is disgraceful.
This is a match with our greatest rivals and form or home advantage counts for nothing.
A lot of people will be surprised and shocked at the way United will approach this game.
20 times....we fear no one.

Ipisi:
Yes Of course I am very much in support Nigeria football but anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Did you see the branded Ifeanyi Ubah supporters truck when they came to Lagos for the #NPFLFinalDay match with MFM FC?

It would cost them (the Club management and Enugu state govt) nothing to hire a clean and better truck with a well branded banners just for some hours of joyous parade. Remember they were paid 40 million Naira as champions and a fraction of that money if used well could go a long way.

So let's stop celebrating mediocrity for once in Nigeria... please

While congratulating Rangers on winning the League again,after so many years,I agree with the OP,that this is a very mediocre way of parading a trophy. That truck looks dirty and dangerous.
