MaziOmenuko:
Pillars will definitely beat Nembe city, who are already relegated. Beating Dolphin at PH is the odorous task facing Enyimba. Once they accomplish that task, pillars game at enyimba will light up the league.

Dolphins are fvcking spoilers shaa! I wish they are relegated this season.

Can't wait for my Warriors to clinch a continental ticket for the Caf champions league.

Dolphins will be beaten, I heard some players are even saying they will boycott the match, some are feeling sick after sleeping outside till late in the night. Any way you look at it, Enyimba's prospects of getting 3 points from that match has greatly improved, it will be their 3rd away win in a row.

MaziOmenuko:
The Enyimba vs Pillars game at Aba will be a clash of titans! Wish I could get the chance to travel down and watch it. Thank God the former NFF boss is no longer there; he favored pillars against enyimba last year with his silly politics and pillar won the league. This time around, its going to be survival of the fittest!

Although an Abia Warrior fan, I still want Enyimba to lift the trophy. Next year, Warriors must lift it.

They still need to beat Dolphins away tomorrow, else the Pillars game will be a mere formality (assuming Pillars beats Nembe at home)

Johnnoo:
Football business is less attractive in Nigeria. Too many hooliganism, match fixing & all that!!! That's why private firms cannot invest in NPL

Many private firms are sponsoring local clubs at the moment.
Enyimba for example can never go crying to Abia state government for money. They have enough sponsors, they even sell their jerseys online.
Many NPL clubs have really upgraded, some are left behind

Amaechi don use una money pay crowd to attend rally.
He even needs more

This is good for Enyimba!
It simply means that they will either walk over Dolphins or be in a better position to beat them away from home on Sunday then complete the job against title rivals Kano pillars in the final match of the season in ABA.

All is fair in war

You haven't even watched the video,but you concluded that there were no close up shots of Shekau just because of one screen grab.
This is nonsense.

Any Igbo man or who man who died there, commited suicide.
At times like this, I remember that famous phrase ''all is fair in war''.

http://news.yahoo.com/boko-haram-calls-ceasefire-talks-claims-lies-222602073.html
Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) - Boko Haram denied that they
had agreed to a ceasefire in a new video obtained
on Friday by AFP, describing the Nigerian
government claims as a lie and apparently ruling
out future talks. The group's leader, Abubakar Shekau, also claimed
the 219 schoolgirls kidnapped from the remote
northeast town of Chibok, in Borno state, in April
had converted to Islam and been married off. In addition, Shekau said the Islamists were holding
a German national, who was kidnapped in
Adamawa state, also northeast Nigeria, in July. The video comes after a surprise Nigerian military
and presidency announcement on October 17 that
a deal had been reached with the militants to end
hostilities. A senior presidential aide to Goodluck Jonathan
also said agreement had been reached to free the
schoolgirls, whose abduction sparked global anger
and demands for their release. There was immediate scepticism about both claims
because of previous assertions of ceasefires and
the identity of the purported Boko Haram envoy at
the supposed talks, Danladi Ahmadu. Violence -- and fresh kidnappings -- have
continued unabated since the announcement,
including a triple bombing of a bus station in the
northern city of Gombe on Friday that killed at least
eight. Nigeria's government maintains that talks were
ongoing in the Chadian capital, Ndjamena. But Shekau, speaking in Hausa, dressed in military
fatigues and boots with a black turban, and flanked
by 15 armed fighters, said: "We have not made
ceasefire with anyone... "We did not negotiate with anyone... It's a lie. It's a
lie. We will not negotiate. What is our business with
negotiation? Allah said we should not." He also said he did not know Danladi. - Kidnapped girls - There was no indication of when or where the
video was shot but it was obtained through the
same channels as previous communications from
the group. In it, Shekau mentions the Chibok girls for the first
time since a video obtained on May 5, when more
than 100 were shown in a rural location dressed in
the hijab and reciting verses from the Koran. Then, the militant leader said many of the girls had
converted to Islam but in the latest, he indicated
that all of those held had become Muslims. "Don't you know the over 200 Chibok schoolgirls
have converted to Islam? They have now
memorised two chapters of the Koran," he said. Shekau previously threatened to sell the girls as
slave brides and also suggested that he would be
prepared to release them in exchange for Boko
Haram prisoners. In the latest message, he said while laughing: "We
have married them off. They are in their marital
homes." Human Rights Watch said in a report published this
week that Boko Haram was holding upwards of
500 women and young girls and that forced
marriage was commonplace in the militant camps. One former hostage said she saw some of the
Chibok girls forced to cook and clean for other
women and girls who had been chosen for "special
treatment because of their beauty". - German national - Shekau's claim in the video that they were "holding
your German hostage" is the first claim of
responsibility for the abduction, which happened
on July 16. The German foreign ministry in Berlin said it did not
want to comment when contacted by AFP. Armed gunmen kidnapped the foreigner, who was
said to be a teacher at a government technical
training centre in Gombi, about 100 kilometres (62
miles) from the Adamawa state capital Yola. Suspicion immediately fell on Boko Haram, which
has repeatedly attacked schools teaching a so-
called Western curriculum, as well as teachers and
students. An offshoot of Boko Haram, Ansaru, has previously
claimed the kidnapping of at least eight foreigners
in northern Nigeria since 2012 but the group has
been largely dormant for more than a year. The group reportedly broke with Boko Haram to specifically target foreigners instead of Nigerians and executed seven expatriates it seized from Bauchi state in 2013. In January 2012, Boko Haram kidnapped German engineer Edgar Raupach at a construction site on the outskirts of the northern city of Kano. He was killed in a military raid on a Boko Haram
hideout on the outskirts of the city four months later. Kidnappings for ransom by criminal gangs are common in the oil-producing south. On October 24, armed men shot dead one German national and kidnapped another in Ogun state, southwest Nigeria . Both were working for the construction firm Julius
Berger. The hostage was later released, the
company said on Thursday.

tit:
cease fire does not mean go eat amala and sleep.
It only means no more aggressive patrolling to engage the enemy.
You maintain defensive positions and high alert to eliminate any threats to your positions.
Do you need anybody to tell you to defend your life and property?

The NA is turning to be a laughing stock.
It is no longer the Army in left in 2006.
i pity them when they clash with agbero in lagos.

The Army in 2006 were being used for target practice by ND militants, nothing new here.

Dayokanu, that would have been true if he got missing at Ibadam

The same old stories we heard prior to the Ekiti elections, they said Yorubas will take PDP bags of rice, collect their N5000 and still vote for APC, what happened at the end? APC couldn't even win their own polling unit.
Abegi!!

No matter how hard you guys try, Yorubas remain the lords of drug trafficking in Nigeria, just as they also lead in rituals, armed robbery and cyber crimes.
The top 2 World records for the largest amount of drugs ever ingested are held by Yorubas.

According to International Business Times, Adebisi broke a previous record for ingested drugs set on March 30, 2011, by another Nigerian man, 46-year-old Yomade Aborishade of Lagos, Nigeria, who was arrested for ingesting four pounds of heroin in 100 pellets.

APGA's structures in Imo State are extremely weak, if not non-existent. What was supposed to be the original APGA (on whose platform Rochas won the election) coalesced into the APC when Rochas defected. Besides, Iheanacho is not strong enough to pull a one-man stunt. I think the PDP would reclaim the governorship.

APGA is the best organised party in Imo state at the moment, Iheanacho is not going to pull a one man stunt, he has the people solidly behind him just like they were behind Okorocha in 2011.

pro01:
This Ihedioha must be a buffoon. How naive can one be? Even a neophyte would be able to study the prevailing political atmosphere/mood in his party's High Command and demonstrate better judgment. You can't dine with your master's enemy in the night and yet pledge allegiance to your master in the morning.

How can you host a "private" reception for a treacherous animal only a few hours after he betrayed your party? Is the reception supposed to be a celebration of his defection or an affirmation of your loyalty to him or what exactly? It's one thing to be his friend in a social, politically neutral context, but what exactly was the point of hosting him immediately after he announced his defection to the APC? ? ?

And this same mumu is pursuing a gubernatorial ambition in Imo State on the platform of the PDP? He just ruined his chances, and he would be relegated to nothingness and banished to the political wilderness in 2015.

Ihedioha never had any chance of becoming Imo governor.
Iheanacho or whoever APGA brings will win the election

Yorubas will always try to bring igbo down to their level but as history has shown, they will fail.

The only negative comment about Nigeria in the comment section of that article was unsurprisingly from a Yoruba man.
Others (mainly non-Nigerians) had nothing but good to say.

I have been a friend to most Nigerians here in South Africa and one thing i have learnt about them is that they are proud African people who embrace the sense of being African with much pride, yes every
Country has it's own share of bad seeds but majority of Nigerian people are good people with very creative and resourceful minds. A Nigerian can be educated with so many degrees but you will never take Nigeria out of them. I have seen some educated people in my country who wants to copy everything Western but not Nigerians.

This is from Gavi's website, they know exactly where the fault lies. www.gavi.org/Library/News/Statements/2014/Review-of-Gavi-support-to-Nigeria/

The appointment of a fiduciary agent to oversee the financial management of Gavi's grants to Nigeria, at both federal and state levels, has also been agreed between Gavi and the Government of Nigeria. The fiduciary agent will also be tasked to help remediate the weaknesses identified at Nigeria’s National Primary Health Care Development Agency.

The guilty agency in bold is headed by

his deputy is

How much low can Nigerian Government and politicians go.. Imagine the president accepting donation from Association of widows and people with disability. He only needed 22 million naira for the ticket, he got 98 million, why not return the donation of this two associations, at least it can be put in better use.

I even wonder if these type of associations represent who they claim to represent

22 million is for the ticket alone, he still needs much more for campaigns.

Every matter in this country now must involve GEJ, don't we have police any more?
Even a man having marital problems with his wife will want Ebele to come and settle it.
Na wa o!

President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday acknowledged the receipt of a total of N98.75m donation and pledges from persons, groups and communities who offered to assist him to pay for the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential nomination fee.

The PDP had pegged its Presidential Nomination Fee at N20m and its Expression of Interest Form at N2m, making a total of N22m required from a presidential aspirant.

In acknowledging the donations, Jonathan said he would pick the nomination form on Thursday.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, the President thanked all Nigerians who have been urging him to seek re-election based on his administration’s achievements in the last four years.

The statement read in part, “President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan will tomorrow, Thursday, October 30 pick up the PDP nomination form for the 2015 Presidential elections.

“President Jonathan thanks all Nigerians, members of the PDP, friends, associates, and all groups who in sincere appreciation of the achievements of the administration in the last four years, have been urging him to seek a second term in office.

“President Jonathan is greatly encouraged by the overwhelming outpouring of goodwill and support, as well as the confidence of the generality of Nigerians in his ability to continue to transform the country for the good of all of its people.

“The President is also grateful to all the persons, groups and communities who have sent donations, and made pledges to assist him to pay the required N22m for the PDP Presidential Nomination Fee and Expression of Interest Form.”

[b]Thirty six groups and communities as well as two individuals contributed the money.

They are followed by Ogbia LGA Stakeholders, Bayelsa State; Bayelsa State PDP Stakeholders; Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore; Kogi State PDP Stakeholders; Rivers State PDP Stakeholders; and the Team Goodluck, Ondo North Senatorial District who gave N5m each.
