BILL CLINTON NEVER PARDONED THEM
1. Bob F. Griffin (Bill Clinton didn't pardon Bob, he commuted his sentence - there is a big difference).
Commutation of sentence involves the reduction of legal penalties, especially in terms of imprisonment. Unlike a pardon, a commutation does not nullify the conviction and is often conditional. Clemency is a similar term, meaning the lessening of the penalty of the crime without forgiving the crime itself.
2. Anold Paul Prosperi (Bill Clinton didn't pardon Arnold)
While Prosperi was awaiting sentencing, Clinton commuted any total period of confinement that had already been imposed or could be imposed in the future. In essence Clinton placed a cap on the sentence Prosperi could recieve.
3. Melvin J. Reynolds - (Bill Clinton didn't pardon Melvin J. Reynolds) - He commuted the sentence
Reynolds was sentenced to five years in prison, thus he expected to be released in 1998. However, in April 1997 he was convicted on 15 unrelated counts of bank fraud and lying to SEC investigators. These charges resulted in an additional sentence of 78 months in federal prison. Reynolds served all of his first sentence, and served 42 months in prison for the later charges. At that point, President Bill Clinton commuted the sentence for bank fraud. As a result, Reynolds was released from prison and served the remaining time in a halfway house.
4. Dorothy Rivers - (Bill Clinton didn't pardon Dorothy Rivers) He commuted her sentence
Commute prison sentence to 50 months' imprisonment, leaving intact and in effect the remaining provisions
5. Peter McDonald - (Bill Clinton didn't pardon Peter McDonald) He commuted his sentence
The day before President Bill Clinton left office in 2001, U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy lobbied the White House to commute the sentence of the former leader.

Please check your facts before supporting corruption

Our Yansh: Aside poisoning the hearts and minds of the younger generation of a Nation he had no belief in, he did well as a literary giant. I also appreciate his stance on issues of governance, corruption and transparency. If only he had kept his bigotry in check, Achebe would have qualified to be a Nigerian hero, but his final shots placed him as an IBO hero.

RIP Prof..

Hmmmm

jimcaddy: I really wonder if some people watched the game ysterday or wat they do is to hate bcause its Man Utd. United rily controlled d game caus Fergie got his tactics spot on. He knew a draw wuld send us thru, dat explains why rooney and chicharito were sat on d bench. Poor officiating from the turkish ref. He shld have used his fucking discretion to give nani a yellow just for the sake of this big match. Didn't De Jong get a yellow for a red card tackle on xabi alonso at the world cup? Just for the fucking sake of the match turkish ref. That decision ruined the tactics and gave madrid an extra edge. Even if madrid were still goin to beat us, at least we wuld not have gone down like dis without a fight. But we live to fight anoda day. Am glad UEFA has made their moni for pairing a game like dis at this stage. We still have two trophies to play for, so it wuldnt be a bad season afterall.

frosbel: This Sunday in Church , take your 'Tithes' and Offerings to Church.

When the service gets to the Malachi 3 session, look for anyone around you who has real needs, and give your tithes and offerings to them.

Better still ask the ushers or pastors to ask the following people to come forward :

- Mothers who do not know where the next meal for the family will come from
- Fathers who have lost their Jobs
- Widows who have no husbands
- Orphans who have no parents.
- Students who are barely eating talk less of paying school fees
- Those who wear rags or who have no shoes
- the homeless and destitute.

Do not give it to the ushers or take it to the front of the church , give it to these people, these are GOD's children who have real needs, yes, they are the ones who need your money, your spare clothes and shoes, extra cars etc.

I repeat, do not give a dime to your church or pastor and let us see how they will react !!!!

False Teacher - Stop teaching false doctrine

Don't try to impress them, they can sense desperation.
My uncle had this experience in the US embassy last year.
A day to his interview he went to print his bank statement and found a long queue,
in a hurry he left and decided to use an older statement (2 weeks earlier),
the only problem was that the statement had a negative balance. -N57,000

On the day of the interview:
The interviewer asked him who was sponsoring his trip, my uncle said he was.
Then she looked at his bank statement and saw a negative balance and exclaimed
"But you have no money in your account!" My uncle replied: "Thats to show you the
kind of person I am, for the bank to trust enough to even loan me their money"
He said that he's a business man and doesn't believe in putting money in the
bank.
Surprisingly she told my uncle to come back tomorrow for his visa.

Be original and don't sense desperate.

Next time learn to be diplomatic..
You stand a lot to lose:
The man has given you accommodation so he has leverage.
Take the offer, prove your worth then when the chips are high,
your those chips to bargain.
You can't win this one...
I know

Yes.
Sins fall under 2 categories
1. Sins that the sinner can perform restitution on his own.
e.g Stealing - The sinner returns that which he has stolen

2. Sins that the sinner can never perform restitution on his own
e.g Murder - How do you return a taken life?
Fornication - How do you return what both parties have taken?

Category 1: The sinner may pray to God for forgiveness
Category 2: The sinner requires a repentant, broken heart and also requires one with a higher authority
to help him intercess on his behalf with God. (That is why confession is important in the christian
world)

After all:
Christ did it:
"Father forgive them for they know not what they do"

Anyone proposing a Northern candidate for president is wasting his or her time.
THE NORTH SHOULD FORGET ABOUT POWER TILL FURTHER NOTICE.
APc should pick a young and sell-able Southerner to win

clue: do you know what it takes to produce 1MW of electricity? Have you any idea what will go in to produce this one you are being so cynical about. Or did you expect to hear of a 5billion MW plant?

What does it take to produce 1MW? Pls tell us.
Our countries are producing 5000MW power station, shame on you and your country.

563 megawatt - USELESS

Make Yobo leave the cup naaaaaa

This is by far the dumbest statement of 2013.
SO
Jose Mourinho should share in (Roberto Di Matteo) Chelsea's Champions league glory
because he brought Drogba, Essien, Cech, Mikel, Ashley Cole to Chelsea.
HOW DUMB
This is football and not some beauty contest.
Football is serious business.
Success or a claim to it is a factor of ATTRIBUTE * RESULT
You must have both to be successful,
SUCCESS CAN'T BE BORROWED IT HAS TO BE EARNED.
Siasia should gather himself back up and EARN THE RIGHT TO BE CALLED A SUCCESSFUL COACH
there is a big difference between YOUTH FOOTBALL and SENIOR PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL

sol2galay: Siasia has been a very good coach,even better than Keshi,but the problem with nigerians is in-patience period.

Some nigerians are hopeless, i am logging out

fubbyy: I agree with the post above, keshi is lucky good coach but siasia is a better coach but unlucky,believe it or not

You must be smoking something.
SIASIA never had the nerve to bench Yobo
SIASIA played Mikel as an attacking midfielder
SIASIA couldn't qualify for the AFCON, then how do u expect him to win anything.
SIASIA kept quarreling with his tools (Players), failing to learn that a skilled man
never quarrels with his tools
SIASIA has no AFCON experience while Keshi has paid his due with Togo and Mali
SIASIA was rigid, keshi is flexible

tbaba1234: Some players have much better ability than they have shown so far.
I want Keshi to retain his job regardless of the outcome.

Seconded

Compelled to be humble

My friend was arrested by the police in festac for wearing a camouflage face cap.
he had to pay N1,500 before they left him.
My advise don't do it.
You might find yourself at the mercy of a hungry policeman or worse a soldier

redcliff: hurh *in rick ross grunt voice* LIKE A BOSS.

one executive told an executive recruiter. Zuckerberg had to be careful which business card he handed out at meetings.
He had two sets. One simply identified him as "CEO." The other: "I'm CEO...b-i-t-c-h!"

LifeCoach Andre: If you have no job and you were given N100,000.00 to start a business, what business would it be and would it can sustain you to become rich. If your answer correctly you will get a loan of 100k and be on your way to being an entrepreneur.

Wrong motive...
Your N100,000 is as good as you flushing it down the toilet.
If your motive is to get rich while starting a business, you are wasting your time.
Find a trade, master it, invest in it, love it and make money from it.
And maybe you might eventually become rich

I blame TB Joshua because tomorrow he will say he saw the Draw
