Tonight, at the HEADIES, the 2011 best song would be crowned. Amongst D'banj's Oliver Twist, P-Square's Chop My Money Ft. Akon, Iyanya's Kukere, Davido's Dami Duro and Chuddy K's Gaga Crazy, which song was the best jam last year...the one that even okada men, barbers, Conductors felt.......

After the Nigeria-Liberia game, IK Uche has 19 goals from 40 games.
IK Uche needs to shine in big tournaments starting from SA 2013 if he wants to take Yekini's crown. Too bad he missed AFCON 2010 and the World Cup, no thanks to injury.

Chairman, Senate Committee
on Education, Senator Uche
Chukwumerije, PDP, Abia North, yesterday labelled Nigeria ''a failed nation''.

Hear him: “It
took only 21 years to transform Turkey
from a feudal state to a highly
modernised state today. South-East
Asian countries took less than 30 years
to move from ex-British colonies to
what they are today, Asian Tigers, and
are highly developed to the point that
one of them, Malaysia, took our palm
produce.

“It took South Korea 18 years to move
from 3rd dependent country to one of
the third exporters and they have today developed to one of the top most and it took China exactly 48 years to move from a small status, being described by the West as the begging bone of Asia, to a super power.

“With our 52 years as a country, a
country who took palm produce from us some years back has grown into a
prosperous country and turned that
product into its main exporting product.

“How would you describe us now
importing it? I can only describe Nigeria as either a failed state or on the verge of being a failed one.”

meritdee: That attorney is my brother, testified the accountant. But the attorney testified he didn't have a brother. Who is lying?

Nobody lied. The Accountant is a female. Very fine and she just cleared her ICAN.

FOR returning N6,000,000,00 overpayment
to govt, Grade Level 10 officer received a National Award

In early December 2011, Mohammad Zakari,
of the Federal Ministry of Information,
received an account credit alert on his
mobile phone, which he thought would be
for his November 2011 salary of
N62,000.00.
“When I
received the alert, I became blind. I thought
it was just N6,000.
“I was wondering what I did wrong for my
office to pay me a salary of N6000 until I
showed a friend who told me it was
N6,000,000 not N6,000.

When Zakari confided in his mother, she
told him to return the money.
“The only thing you will do is to ask them to
give you N1million to complete your
building in the village,” his mother told him.
He continued: “Same day, I got the alert, I
told my wife, something entered into my
account and she asked how much it was.
“I told her it was N6 million and that may be
that was how God wanted to bless me.”
But she disagreed, telling her husband:
“God does not bless people like that. If God
wants to bless you, he will open
opportunities for you to work so that
money can come. Money will not just come
from heaven to enter into your account.’
“My wife gave me the guts to return that
money,” he told The Guardian.
He also reported the overpayment to his
superiors.
But he has suffered reproach from his
friends who told him: “You can never be
rich…they sent that kind of money into
your account and you returned it?
“Some of them don’t talk to me anymore
because of what I did.”
For his honesty, however, Zakari was
among the 155 Nigerians given National
Honours as he was conferred with an
Award of Member of the Order of the
Federal Republic (MFR).

Zakari, a native of Garun-Mallam Local
Council of Kano State, joined the Federal Civil
Service as Information Officer II in 2000
and was posted to Federal Ministry of
Water Resources, Abuja.
After a stint at the National Film and Video
Censors Board, is at present with the Federal
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural
Development as a Senior Information
officer in the Minister’s office.

Some would say ''An EX should stay an EX. They’re the EXample of false love and an EXplanation for why you deserve better.

But I would say ''Being friends with ur EX shows you two are mature enough to get over the fact that you weren't meant to be together.''

@K2039: you took the words right of my mouth

@Chancit: you would be angry with your Father because you know he won't get any recognition for his Honourable act.

Isn't it a shame - a very big shame- that Imeh Usuah, the Abuja-based Taxi Driver, who made headlines earlier this year when he returned Items worth 18 Million Naira that a passenger forgot in his Car, didn't make this years honours list?

Mr. Usuah, a father of 6, could have made away with that money and be a 'big boy' now. Rather he returned it. What did he get in return? To the best of my knowledge, he got a paltry N30,000 from the National Orientation Agency.

Wouldn't it have been wise to factor in such an 'ordinary' Nigerian while compiling that list that honours mainly Individuals that have milked our commonweatlth.
We do not honour heroes. We do not set good precedence for others. What a disincentive for other Taxi drivers to tow the path of Imeh Usuah.

I wrote this piece last November after the sham of an award last year http://ekekeee.com/irrational-dishonour-awards-by-dickson-u-kalu/ it is still relevant today. @DicksonKalu

1. The man who discovered milk. I want to know what he was looking for in that part of the cow.

2. Cristiano Ronaldo. I want to know how he feels to have been unlucky to be born in Messi's generation.

3. IBB. I want to know how he manages to sleep despite the evil that he unleashed on this country.
