Indeed she was brave

PapaBaby:
Even the DSS are now paying protesters. Anyway I thought the DSS said they couldn't release Sowore incase he is hit by a car?

It took the braveness of an Igbo woman (justice Ijeoma Ojukwu) to release Sowore.

Thanks for showing the pictures. The state is fast developing. Kudos to the Governor and the people of the state.

Multiplier7:
I can relate. See am

I laugh when people hail this government. A government with a huge disregard for the rule of law. Well many Nigerians are simply illiterates and crazy, hence they won't understand the damage going on and it strategic effects.

HeWrites:
Managing Director of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Hadiza Bala Usman, has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu; the Department of State Services (DSS) and others over an attack on her at the National Assembly.

Usman was attacked on December 3 by people suspected to be linked to the chairman of Ocean Maritime Solutions Limited (OMSL), Idahosa Okunbo, Igbere Tv reports.

In a petition addressed to the IGP, the Senate President, and DSS Director-General, Usman explained that she was at the Senate on the said date to honour the invitation of the Joint Committee on Navy, Marine Transport and Finance to its public hearing on the Safe Anchorage Area of the Lagos Ports.

Usman’s visit to the Senate followed a motion on “illegal security activities by OMSL at the Safe Anchorage Area of Lagos Ports and the need to investigate their excesses” moved by Senator George Sekibo during plenary on November 7.

She explained that the committee had invited other parties, which included the Nigerian Navy and the OMSL.

“In the course of the session, Captain (Dr) Idahosa Wells Okunbo of OMSL, having made his submission, stormed out visibly angry breathing fire and brimstone. Following Captain Idahosa Wells Okunbo outburst and abrupt exit, the Chairman of the Joint Committee closed the session,” she said in the petition.

Writing further, Usman said: “On leaving the meeting room some hoodlums that accompanied Captain Okunbo to the hearing ambushed me at the exit door and tried to push their way towards me to physically attack me, raining abuses on me that I was taking food away from them and their boss, and that they will find me and destroy me.”

The NPA boss explained that it took the efforts of her security detail and the Executive Director, Marine and Operations of NPA, Dr Sekonte Davies, and security personnel deployed from the office of the Deputy Senate President for her and her entourage to leave the premises unhurt.

While calling for the full investigation of the incident with the intent of bringing the culprits to face the full wrath of the law, Usman said she takes the direct threats to her life issued by these hoodlums seriously.

She added that Okunbo should be held responsible if any harm should befall her or any member of her family.

Usman described the action of the hoodlums as the height of impunity and disrespect.

I visited Ebonyi of recent, I was surprised to see nice flyovers with under it looking appealing

AutoJoshNG:
When a flyover bridge is constructed, there are usually areas around them that are left unutilized. An example of such is the vacant space beneath the flyover.  These spaces are often either underutilized or used indiscriminately for parking of vehicles, etc.

These spaces under flyover bridges have immense potential. They can be developed into active space for public activities.  For instance, they can be transformed into recreational areas or well-organized car parks.

To achieve all these, the area under the flyover has to be illuminated, decorated with theme-based graffiti at certain spaces to create awareness for certain causes, etc.

These spaces can also be used to cultivate some vegetation or greenery. This will contribute to the ecology and environment and acts as a buffer to reduce air pollution as well as contribute to the aesthetics of the street in the day time.

In so many cities around the world, under flyover bridges has been used to achieve different public purposes.

In this article, Autojosh.com compares under some flyover bridges in Dubai, UAE and in Lagos, Nigeria.

Under Flyover Bridges In Lagos

So Biafra will be a hospitable space for corruption?

myright:
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

LET WHAT BEFELL ORJI UZOR KALU SERVE AS A LESSON TO OTHERS

......and as I warned them many years ago, serve the Zoo come back in shame.

I warned him when he came to see me in Kuje Prison that those illiterate unity begging Alimajiris from the desert don't love him but he wouldn't listen.

I warned him that Fulani caliphate will not rest until they conquer, subdue and enslave the entire East and West because of their sense of inferiority complex, but he wouldn't listen.

I warned him of the pathological hatred these Alimajiris have towards Biafrans (Igbos especially) because our industry and ingenuity expose their mediocrity, but he wasn't having it. He was a committed One Nigeria apologist.
I reminded him of what happened to Ken Saro Wiwa who like him believed so much in One Nigeria and ended up being killed by the same Alimajiri he served so dilligently against Biafra, but he wouldn't listen.

Today they are picking them off one after the other because they know IPOB won't fight for any Efulefu. If he had known what was to become of him, he would have done exactly what I told him during our meeting, join the nearest IPOB family and support the Biafra restoration project. Isn't it ironic the only thing that will save Orji Uzor Kalu now is the coming of Biafra. Will Dave Umahi, Okezie Ikpeazu, Willie Obiano, Rochas Okorocha learn from this?

I never said AJ match was fixed because I am not a witness. However, I recommend you watch Aljazeera regular to see how some sports game that once looked real were manipulated

dangoteinlaw:
since I don't understand why don't you fill me in.so what you are practically saying is that Joshua would be willing to take 10 defeat if rhe price is right? More like mercy will allow his club loose if he will be paid $8 billion dollars.only paranoid ppl will believe all match is fixed and I see the likes of you still make up shit when Joshua gets beat up again coz he will. Then I wonder what the excuse will be.

He was sent but he has not gotten to the prison yet.

jconsulting:
Someone said something will happen the day Sowore is released, and true true Kalu Orji sentence to Prison

If you really understand the stakes in match fixing you won't say this.

dangoteinlaw:
this isn't wrestling, boxing is as real as it gets. Thats how Mayweather won 50 straight matches and HaTeRz kept making up stories on how matches were fixed. You really think Joshua would want to take 2L just for money? This is a man's legacy we talking about the here.

I repeat again, this isn't WrestleMania!!!

The mother asked for the release of his son and here is the result

Editorialtimes:
Watch the moment excited Nigerians and family members mobbed Sowore after his release by the DSS.

Sowore was arrested on the 3rd of August 2019 by the Nigerian Authorities following a planned protest by Mr. Sowore, Idris Abdulkareem and others.

Sowore was released today after a Federal high court issued an order for his release.

True

Dewze:
Let us tell ourselves the raw truth. The Yorubas will have their flaws and shortcomings, as every other tribes, but they are undoubtedly the most liberal tribe amongst the major tribes in Nigeria.

T

You mean Wayne Bridge ?

helinues:
One of the Chelsea legends.

Ashley Cole wife's saga ruined his reputations not just in Chelsea but England in general.

We all have other side though

She is a dine DJ whose father is not a billionaire

chiboy1116:
DJ cuppy I know , who's DJ Barbie?

You nailed it because the current 4G is aost same as 3G

olaric:
While 5G is welcome because it means progress; for the consumer out there, a lot to worry about. 5G compatible phones, cost of buying data, insincerity on the part of the carriers {selling us 4G instead of 5G} etc.

Those in the chambers are polithiefcian

toprealman:
What's the difference between him and those ones in the hallowed chambers?
They are all partners in crime but the latter group always look good.

True, no need to educate them

wwwihy:
Anambra has no billionaire. Stop using billionaire as cheap word.

We have only four Billionaires in Nigeria
1. Aliko Dangote
2. Mike Adenuga
3. Folorunsho Alakija
4. Ishaku Rabiu

Any other billionaire is fake

He is an arm robber not a celebrity

toprealman:
He looks very unkempt

If did he make the statement last? He waited till he won. Anyways Congrats to Messi but the game has award has gone too political.

Deandean:
No boss,u shld understand d context of the media release...this is a reaction to Ronaldo not showing up...he simply was calling for his fans to understand his absence as any1 would b pained to loss,and he graciously admitted he felt same...appreciate him for defending him,international media and other stakeholders including ronaldo's fans are hailing d release...why do We Nigerians reason out of context .

Ronaldo can never ever ever make this kind of statement...he can never ever admit some1 dd better n deserved it wen he ddnt get it,he never mentioned the team that won d cl which gave him d edge..he'll rather make brags..i am the best player in 20 yrs...y? Hez a great player,but his football is too mechanical.

Ok ooo everyone us free to claim on Nairaland. please state who you are

Johans1991:
you don't know who iam. I know what am saying.
I mean us(we)

People are saying Messi is sincere but if Ronaldo said this people will say he is too jealous

uzoma213:
Lionel Messi admits “it hurt” when Cristiano Ronaldo joined him on five Ballon d’Or triumphs, with the Barcelona superstar claiming to understand the frustration of a rival who opted not to attend the 2019 ceremony.

Messi had dropped to fifth in the vote 12 months ago, while four years had passed since he was last recognised as the finest player on the planet.

In that time, Portuguese icon Ronaldo added another two Ballons d’Or to his collection, with a run of four wins in the space of five years taking the Juventus forward level with an eternal foe.

Messi admits he found it difficult to see Ronaldo claiming his fifth award and can appreciate why the Juventus star - who was in Milan to collect a Serie A Player of the Year prize on Monday rather Paris - will be experiencing similar emotions in the present.

“On the one hand, I enjoyed having five and being the only one,” Messi told France Football .

“When Cristiano moved level, I admit that it hurt me a bit. I was no longer alone at the top. But it made sense, although it was good when I was alone at five.

“Was I frustrated in the last few years? Let's say I understood why I did not win.

“As a team, we had not achieved our major goal, which was to win the Champions League, which gives you more chances to win the Ballon d'Or.

“When Cristiano Ronaldo won it is because he had achieved great seasons by winning the Champions League and being decisive. It was deserved, there was not much I could do.

“Did I feel injustice? It's up to you to tell me if the Ballon d'Or is awarded to the best player or the one who enjoys the best season.

“It is also down to individual taste. Some prefer Cristiano, others myself or Neymar or [Kylian] Mbappe. People have the right to choose the one they like most.”

Ronaldo finished third in the 2019 vote, the first time he has dropped out of the top two since 2010.

Messi added on the emotions of a man who has helped him to take his own game to even greater heights: “Do I understand Ronaldo's frustration? It is something that we live, feel and express according to our own way of being.

“Once again, the collective titles are the most important thing, even if the individual trophies are rewarding.

“When the Ballon d'Or eludes you, everyone reacts in their own way. But when you are a top athlete, you always want to win.”

Messi finds himself back at the summit of the global game and intends to make the most of such a standing at 32 years of age.

“It is exceptional to win the Ballon d'Or four years in a row, and win another 10 years after the first, it puts into perspective the longevity of my career,” added the South American.

“It's hard to stay competitive for a decade. I was lucky to be able to do it.”

Please what do you mean by us?

Johans1991:
This idiot should be shot on sight. He deserved to die like the the policemen he killed.
Buhari pls give us order.
This returning match will be sweet.

Why will he show respect when Real Madrid gave you his Ballon d Or last season. If Ronaldo was at Real Mardrid Modric will definitely not win it. The game has gone political.

obembet:
Luka Modric has talked about Cristiano Ronaldo's absence, saying that "you have to show respect".

"Congratulations, you deserve it." said Modric before handing the Ballon d'Or trophy to Messi.

However, Modric also spoke on Ronaldo's absence from the ceremony.

"When you don't win, you have to be there to show respect. This is football."

I am yet to see an Hausa speak of our togetherness the way you just did, even when it is clear that South West helped them in getting the presidency. Please get some pride!

jahsharon:
Wagon factory in Kajola in Ogun State. Transport University in Daura, Katsina. This is dividend of democracy. Politics is investment. You invest your votes and you reap infrastructure. The North and South-West are reaping the fruits of their investment. Kajola where the Wagon factory is situated in Ogun state literally mean "may we will be prosperous together" .

You mean the president of a democratic nation? Please tell her to take Nigerian citizenship and try that shit here.

johnkay1:
Great woman

But she's very determined. I doubt if a Nigerian player can do what she did to her president.

True!!!

Richdad50:


None of these young boys above me were not born at the time of Murtala Mohammed. Your mamas were still little and shy young girls at that time. Sic boys! Murtala was a good man and a beacon of hope for the country until his demise.

The death of Murtala as the beginning of Nigeria's downfall.

Richdad

You sound like you have the authority of the president

WorWorBoy2:
Who want to share country with you?

If it were up to me, you criminals will have your Biafra now now. Nonsense .

Messi is better than Ronaldo any day any time but Balloon d or has lost it merit. It is more political now.

BlackIP:
More

This is to let you know that I won't be replying your childish mention till you grow up.

melody91:
Mr Mature with the brain of a retard,you don't even need to explain any bullshit here... I know your type perfectly well, saying things to belittle your country gives u orgasm....

You sound like kid hence no need to explain reality to you.

melody91:
shut up oga.. I wonder wetin una dey gain from trying to belittle Nigeria ..I'm sure if a scenario like that even play out,you would still find a way disapprove it..

You are so funny!!!!!!! US don't extradite their citizen to any country, let alone a third world country. Turkey and US are NATO member yet US could not extradite a Turkish citizen taking refuge in US to Turkey.

Chimookigwe:
The answer to that is: have you seen the US deny extradition requested by Nigeria before?

Initially, what I asked was have you seen a US citizen extradited to Nigeria before?

Chimookigwe:
He was arrested here and is being tried here cos the offence was committed here.

You mean the Netherlands extradite one of its citizens to Nigeria? Please be sure.

Chimookigwe:
If the crime is committed in Nigeria and Nigeria requests for it? Why not?

There is currently a Dutch citizen in kirikiri. If you see him, I swear, he looks like a beggar. The last time he came to Court, it was a terrible sight.

You made a valid point but I would like to ask if the US will extradite her own citizens to Nigeria for trial?

chriskosherbal:
"The US court had since then issued a warrant to arrest Onyema and authorised US marshals service to bring him into custody."


If you ask me EFCC should take a chill Pill for the now and allow US finish what they started, so that we can get to the root of this.. At least we can be sure of transparency, and no religion/tribal factor as well as political leaning playing or interfering with the process am not saying EFCC is guilty of the bolded.

God bless Nigeria.
