hmmmm. Was he really created? As far back as the 90s when I was in U.I he used to hold comedy shows on campus (laffomania) and we would gladly skip a meal and save money to watch him at the arts theatre or whichever venue he stages his show.

alaoeri: So you are bittered now that Dr Sid is more recognise & above all of u in the entertainment club same as ppl are hating & criticising Dbanj just because he's above their so called talented artists. Abeg accept how God arrange the thing.

If you read carefully and try a little more at comprehension you'll see that my submission was devoid of any modicum of bitterness. What i made was a clear and verifiable statement of fact. Not meant to disparage Sidney. Not everybody would go full time into music entertainment. So there's no basis for drawing your preposterous conclusion.

I KILL: when I talk say d.banj no get talent, dem say I dey hate, dis is what happens wen we africans (especially nigerians) listen 2 d beat of a song and not d lyrics and voice of d song cuz I see no reason why d.banj shud rep nigeria in anything atall wen we av d likes of darey, bez, praiz and even iyanya whom I know can sing something meaningful if he wants to, and 1 thing dat surprises me again is d kind of people we use as judges in a music talent show, imagine using some1 like davido, d.banj, jesse jagz as judges 4 a singing competition What do dey know abt singing, fact is.. D good songs r not recognised only d craps r recognised

youre very correct my brother. I recall being in an entertainment club, rockforce, with Sidney (Dr. Sid) when we were in U.I. The guy was never good enough to sing with us at any of our shows in Lag or Ibadan. His routine was strictly dancing in between shows.( A fantastic dancer he is, by the way.) so you can imagine my consternation when he started 'singing' with mohits.

Afam4eva: I wonder why the governor hates Aba so much. This should be in Aba and not Umuahia.

my brother you just spoke my mind. umuahia is a very small and dull town with very little human traffic from out of town. I wonder who will patronise this mart. The governor is from umuahia. So i'm not surprised he sited it there. I wonder why Abia politicians cannot realise the economic importance of aba. Rather they fight tooth and nails to bring it down to its feet. They should have just left it in Imo state if they had no plans to develop it.

one sunday around 1992 or so a man dressed in white garment and carrying a bible was loitering in the zoo premises. When the attendants weren't looking he climbed into the lion's den and started shouting prayers,quoting the bible and commanding the lion to obey him like Daniel was obeyed. The lion initially was taken aback at the sudden intrusion by a stranger. But eventually realising that it is a lion, the king of the jungle, it pounced on the man, promptly flattened him and killed him with a bite or two at strategic parts of the body. Would i say luckily, the lion had eaten earlier So it didnt eat his flesh. This story was widely reported in newspapers then, particularly the National Concord and the gist continued spreading on campus up till 1997 when I entered U.I. Greatest Tedderites!!!

She strikes me like an arrogant woman. met at a united nations event last year. Didn't quite like her attitude in real life and her manner of approach.. On TV, she's Ok.

berem: If traders in computer village generates 2billion dollars annually, how much does Nigeria Customs generate biko? I can't believe this!

Customs at tin can island port command alone generated 50 billion naira in the first quarter of this year.

kacheezy: BH has killed more muslims than Christians...our politicians are taking this thing to far...but i tot Asari Dokubo is a Mujahedeen...

i wonder where you get your statistics from. Your brother Boko Haram has never bombed a mosque or anything relating to islam. They've never bombed a motor park for northern bound vehicles. Anytime their wicked acts affects muslims its usually as collateral damage. They're usually not the primary targets. Remember that part of their demands is a total islamisation of the country. Pls stop playing the ostrich.

Reference: That's why some lawyers don't like placing their defence counsels on the stand.

"defendant". Not "defence counsels". A defence counsel is the defendant's lawyer and has no business in the witness box. But i get what you're saying. She's not helping matters with her submissions. (many submissions here are downright puerile)

@topic: morality is a private thing. Promiscuity or proclivity for it has absolutely nothing to do with one's profession. I even wonder where the nurses are (apart from hospitals) because they're the most scarce professionals. You could enter a night club or social gathering and count plenty other professionals but not a single nurse. I think they make fantastic wives too and would really want to settle down with one. 3 of my aunts hold very senior nursing positions while my own mum retired as director of nursing services. So i can claim a certain level of knowledge about nurses. I don't recall her not being at home or not having time for us. Even in her younger days when she had to do night duties it was always followed by a whole week of "night off" where doesn't go to work at all.
So there's absolutely nothing wrong in marrying them. I'll be their advocate any day.(i don de beg one to marry me since 2 years now sef )

Greatest University of Ibadan of our fathers. No be today students politics begin. Beautiful interview and insight.

lol. My first phone was one red alcatel i bought late 2003 when glo was doing one promo like that. You paid 10k and the balance of 6k is deducted as you load credit. Those guys ended up taking over 20k.still didn't Stop deducting money until i mailed a petition to NCC to call them to order. I was in law school then and I recall glo had no service unless you climbed a little elevation behind F block and the wind blew favourably.

not surprising at all. Every major media house has a mandela obituary desk. Some time a go a media house was forced to dismantle cameras it positioned near his house in the house of being the first the break the news of his death. The man lives on.

interesting. thought I was the only one to have observed this peculiarity. I've dated 3 and actually got engaged to 1. But they all seem to have this inexplicable chip on their shoulders, even when they do not necessarily measure up intellectually. i often wondered what informed their arrogance and hubris. One even had the temerity to tell me that a teacher or someone of a "lower level" occupation would fit me better. Funny enough she just graduated freshly from one of state schools in the East.

Our Yansh: GEJ has two "Performing" ministers to take over in case Madam doesn't make it. After all what's a plan without a Plan B??

Anyway, Get well soon sha....

P.S.: I hope you guys know what I mean by "Performing"..

its "Mrs." Diezani Alison-Madueke, Wife of a two time Military Governor and former Chief of Naval Staff (A 4 Star General)who is very much alive and active and has been a big boy long before Jonathan thought of politics. Why disparage and impugn the character of a happily married mother and wife because you do not agree with her on issues?

If independence is the only thing then forget it until when u grow up.
Whenever a guy start working , he should be out of the parent house unless maybe the first son issue

please can you throw more light on the 'firstborn issue'. Thanks.

2003. When my father strongly threatened not to pay my law school fees over allegations of insurbordination on my part. It was tears of helplessness and frustration. Lol.
But I think I shed a tear or two last year when oga, Dr. Levi Ajuonuma died in the Dana air crash. U

He was such a nice, lively man with an avuncular disposition. Lived life to the fullest. I recall my first encounter with him in 1998 when as a sophomore at the university of ibadan I was invited with the Students Choral Ensemble to stage a Christmas concert at his Uli Atobileke palatial residence. We had many more of such invitations. He always took time to party and discuss with us after the guests must have all departed. I recall his beautiful guest house atop a hilly area - still within his compound - where he usually lodged us. He was a grand patron of the arts and my first contact with distinguished, refined and erudite royalty with a flair for the arts. I recall he - with nostalgia - always regaled and inspired us with his stories as a young choir boy and as a student in University of Ibadan (Then University College Ibadan). The handsome honorarium he usually paid us after performances were the only money I ever earned as a student! It in turn inspired me to set up upon graduating from u.i and the law school, a flourishing professional choral group: The Abuja Choral Ensemble. The Lisa will surely be missed by everyone who came in contact with him. Requiem aeternam dona ei,Domine,et lux perpetua luceat ei, amen. Requiescat in pace. Amen

He conveniently forgot to mention the massive underaged voting in the north . Abi that one no follow? And his injunctions to his illiterate followers that sparked the boko haram ascendancy et al after he lost. Make we hear word jor.

hmmm. Served in sokoto (2004-2005) with the ministry of justice. Dunno how it is now. But it was quite challenging then. Camp was fun. But after Camp, comes reality, especially when they post you to far flung border towns like ilela and the rest. Be cautious and observant. Looks like it Was much safer in our time. God be with you all.

i admire your penmanship

ceeceeco: Pls who's the best Nollywood actor amongst the duo of chinedu ikedieze & osita iheme? Anyway i surmise it's osita iheme. He's got more of the talent.

how can you use "best" when comparing two people. I wonder what they teach you people in school these days.

area 8, garki abuja.none all through the day despite the stifling heat. They bring it later in the evening and take it before 9am next day. So sad considering that there was a time when power outage was unheard of in this town. I'm sure its the low water level at kainji dam thats causing the problem.

sokoto paid 5k in 2004.

RICHIE BOI: So I heard myself too. I think a day in prison is counted as 2 days . Lawyers in house should pls help us here.

you are talking about concurrent and consecutive sentencing. When a three count charge, for instance, is preferred against an accused and maybe he is found guilty of all the counts. Each count may carry a jail term of 2 years .all together that is 6 years. (consecutively) but If its to run concurrently then the convict would only spend 2 years. As each of the 2years would be running at the same time.

its a bailable offence. Lets not also forget that in our laws an accused is deemed innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Thats the law as it is.

that magician's prediction last year that we'll play ghana in the finals and they would win 3. 1 scared me wella. It almost came to pass.

Geomac: I don't think so o. I think this should be the last judgement.

No. He can appeal to the supreme court.

I think its reliable enough. Considering it was the strategy employed by the U.S to ascertain that it was the bin laden family were living in that household.. They sent spies that posed as child immunisers who secretly took swabs as they immunised.

As a choral musician I tend to get involved one way or the other with CAN activities. As recently as 2weeks ago I was at the National Christian Centre for the National Armed Forces Rememberance Day Service.. I keep shaking my head at the underground bazaar that goes on there. Everything is an opportunity to make money. Many mushroom church leaders in CAN have turned millionaires overnight.. The Catholic Church traditionally is orderly,conservative and doesn't suffer fools gladly. Not surprised they've pulled out at the national level.

After they conceded the 88th minute equaliser against roberto baggio inspired Italy in the second round of USA 94 I just realised its better to be alive than die of super eagles induced hypertension. I now support super falcons and golden eaglets. Less risky.
