@illusion,
Outside multinational companies, embassies & foreign aid organizations, what other job offers does french bring?
Thousands of students fail Waec/Neco/Jamb etc becuase of English & Maths!
Yet, the obviously pussy whipped mogul, wants Nigerians to learn french!

I agree with you partially on the importance of learning foreign lingua, but lets set our priorities in the right order

Bussiness mogul, Chief Molade Okoya- Thomas is calling on Nigerians to learn French and adopt it as their second language.
Speaking at an event when the Alliance Francaise in Lagos and Nigeria clocked 50, Chief Thomas said the late dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha encouraged Nigerians to learn the language. Those who attended the press conference included Mr. Jean-Claude Jacq, Secretary General, Foundation Alliance Francaise in Paris, Mr. Philippe Lebreton, Director, Alliance Francaise Lagos and Delegue General of Alliance Francaise in Nigeria, Mr. Norbert Cazeilles, Deputy Director, Ambassador Ogunsulire Omotayo Vice President, Mr. Issac Founo, Treasure, the committee members, Mrs. E.I. Efion Ekaha and Mrs. Bawor Omiyi.

I dont trust newspapers nowadays!
This story stinks of false hood!

This may sound incredible, but it is true. A dying man has received a miracle of healing fit for the Guinness Book of Records. His healing is one that defied medical and spiritual explanation.
Saturday Sun gathered that hospitals had given up hope that Mr. Omotayo Bamidele, 45-year-old former council worker, could ever recover from a strange sickness. Also, churches, to which he was taken, rejected him on the grounds that the evil forces that followed him would destroy their leaders and their members.
Traditional treatment did not have positive result also. But the man got healed in a mysterious circumstance.
Indeed, Bamidele, in the cause of the illness, was bloated and could not walk. Members of his family carried him to and from the toilet whenever he wanted to defecate or ease himself. He prayed for death, but instead of that a miracle happened. Armed robbers had invaded the last church he was carried to.
People had scampered and started shouting ole, ole (thief, thief).
Miraculously, Bamidele, who, for two years, could not stand up, sprang to his feet, in the confusion, walked to his home and came back to the church to the amazement of all who knew him. To be sure that he was not dreaming, he went back to the hospitals that had foreclosed his healing and got a clean bill of health.
However, medical doctors warned Bamidele not to have sex with his wife, as his heart may fail. He ignored the warning and instead of suffering heart failure he got his wife pregnant, something the couple had been praying for. His wife later gave birth to a baby boy.
Telling his amazing story, Bamidele said: "In year 2005, I took ill. I went to many hospitals. People said it was a spiritual problem. Whenever I coughed, I vomited blood. There was also a severe headache, which made it impossible for me to think or look at anything. I was referred to Ondo State Hospital, where they said I suffered diabetes.
At the Federal Medical Centre, Akure, they said I had heart problem. Another hospital said I had asthma. I was again referred to the Ondo State Hospital and they said my heart was congestive, which meant my heart could not supply adequate water and blood. My legs were swollen and I couldn't walk without the assistance of people. I was then referred to Germany for treatment.
"My wife took me to a church here in Akure and they did many things and I was carried to the river several times for spiritual birth without any positive result. I was taken to another church. But the pastor said he could not pray for me because of the spirit that surrounded me."
It was at that stage that Bamidele decided that members of his family should take him back to his house in Akure so that he could die at home.
According to him, several tests were carried out in different hospitals. Several drugs were also prescribed. Several x-rays were carried out and there was no improvement for 30 days. He could not sleep both day and night. He stopped using drugs.
He explained: "One day, a boy came to say hello to me in year 2007. He invited me to worship in his church. I was carried to the place because I couldn't walk. Again, the pastor said I couldn't stay in the church because the spirit that followed me would destroy him, his children and his church.

"After three days, the pastor said I should be brought back to the church. He used to pray for me between the hours of 12noon and 1pm. But when I slept for one minute I would sleep with a woman and ejaculate in the dream. This happened for five days and when I told the pastor, he said those were the spirits that wanted me dead. He said that the spirits drained my blood and wanted me to die. When there was no improvement after seven days, I said I was going home. But, that very night, armed robbers came to the church and they took away my handset. When there were shouts of ole, ole (thief, thief), I immediately stood up and walked. I went to my house and returned to the church that very night. That was the end of my illness."
To be sure that he was okay, Bamidele went to hospital.
According to him, "I went back to all the hospitals that said I suffered from one sickness or the other and they all satisfied me hale and hearty. The doctors warned that I should not go near my wife so that I would not suffer heart failure. After my miraculous healing I met with my wife because I decided I should die if I had to die. My wife, who has been waiting on the Lord for 10 years for a child, took in and gave me a baby boy who is now 15 years old."

Patients with the syndrome - artificial urticaria -discover that words stay on their skin if they gently write on themselves using a fingernail.
One sufferer being studied is Chinese grandmother Huang Xiangji - whose body is covered in poems and notes.
The 50-year-old - dubbed 'The Paper Woman' - says her condition comes in "very useful" as she can use her arms to write shopping lists.
Weird
Stunned skin specialists at the Chinese Medical Association say the disorder "has no ill effects -even though it is very weird."
When Huang, of Chendu, China, writes a word on her skin using a finger, the letters protrude from her skin a moment later.
She yesterday said: "I have used my body as a notebook for years. It is useful when it comes to writing a shopping list.
"I don't ever need to hunt around for a pen and paper."
Sandra Hsu, of the Chinese Medical Association, said the skin disorder urticaria was common - but the form where sufferers can write on themselves was "very rare."

A PYTHON has devoured a woman's dog - including the pet's collar and name tag.
Patty Buntine's three-year-old Maltese terrier-cross Bindi disappeared from her home in Australia's Northern Territory.
Ms Buntine said she was worried when the 12-and-a-half pound dog failed to show up for her usual breakfast.
"She was always there so I got worried and went to look for her," she said.
"I went around the side of the house and that's when I found the snake. It couldn't move and had its head up in a striking position."
"It's belly was bulging - it looked like a great big coconut was inside it.
"I knew straight away that it had ate Bindi."

TERRIFIED locals in a South American town are running scared after a strange creature they describe as "Gollum" crawled out of a lake and charged schoolkids.
The beast - which has "sparked fear and confusion" in the small town of Cerro Azul, Panama -was spotted on Saturday when four 14 to 16-year-olds were playing by the waterfront.
According to their account, reported by Panamanian news service Telemetro, the youngsters "screamed" when the five-foot creature emerged from a cave and started clambouring over rocks towards them "as if to attack them".
In a "desperate bid to defend themselves" the four terrified boys said they hurled rocks at the strange creature to kill it, before throwing its corpse in the water and running away.
Their disbelieving parents returned to the lake the following day - and were stunned to discovered the beast's body washed up on the shore.

Experts have yet to examine the images - or make any statements regarding their discovery.

But locals told Panama news channels, who ran the story, that the water-monster was "Gollum from Lord of the Rings".
One said: "I have only seen that creature once before -and it was in the Tolkien film."
The fictional Gollum -originally known as Smeagol - was a hobbit whose later name was derived from the "disgusting gurgling, choking cough he made".
JRR Tolkien - who wrote the Middle Earth adventures - said of the character: "He had become deformed and twisted in both body and mind by the corruption of the Ring.
"His only desire was to possess the Ring which had enslaved him, and he pursued it for many years after he lost it."

Very silly way to die

This incredible picture shows a huge spider devouring a bird in the backgarden of a bemused onlooker.
And experts say the snap is REAL.
The photo, thought to have been taken earlier this week, shows the spider clenching its legs around a lifeless bird trapped in a web at a home near Atherton, west of Cairns, in Australia.
Joel Shakespeare, the head spider keeper at Australian Reptile Park, said the spider was a golden orb weaver.
"Normally they prey on large insects, it's unusual to see one eating a bird," he said.
Mr Shakespeare said he had seen golden orb weaver spiders as big as a HUMAN HAND but the northern species in tropical areas can grow even larger.
But he added: "It wouldn't eat the whole bird."
Mr Shakespeare said the bird, a chestnut-breasted mannikin is likely to have flown into the web, and got stuck.

A seven-year-old boy who can only communicate by chirping after his mother raised him as a pet bird has been rescued by Russian care-workers.
Reports in Russian media claim the child, suffering from "Mowgli syndrome", was found in a tiny two-room apartment that appeared to double as an aviary, filled with cages containing dozens of birds, bird feed and bird droppings.
Social worker Galina Volskaya, who helped rescue the "bird-boy" from his home in Kirovsky, Volgograd, told Russian newspaper Pravda that he was treated like another pet by his 31-year-old mother.
Because she never spoke to him, Ms Volskaya explained, the boy's only communication was with the birds he was surrounded by.
"When you start talking to him," she said, "he chirps."
Russian authorities say the child was not physically harmed but is suffering from "Mowgli syndrome", named after the Jungle Book character raised by wild animals, and cannot engage in any normal human communication.

Pravda reported: "(His mother) had her own domestic birds and fed wild ones. (She) neither beat him nor left him without food. She just never talked to him. It was all the birds that communicated with the boy and taught him birds' language.
"He just chirps and when realising that he is not understood, starts to wave hands in the way birds winnow wings."
The boy is temporarily living in an asylum, but soon will be transferred to a centre of psychological care, according to reports.
His mother signed an abdication form to release him into care after he was discovered last week.
Though admittedly unusual, the case is not without precedent.
In February 2006, social workers took three weeks to catch a four-year-old "wolf-boy" discovered living on the streets with a pack of stray dogs and cats in the Stavropol region of southern Russia. Arthur Zverev barked and ran on all fours.

And in January 2007, a Cambodian woman named Rochom P'ngieng was found wandering naked in the jungle, unable to speak after living among animals since she disappeared from home aged eight.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - When an ambulance brought Tillmon Webb home from the hospital after he hurt his knee in March, paramedics warned the then 550-pound (250-kilogram) man he probably wouldn't be able to get up from his recliner if they put him there, his wife said.
Webb told them to leave him there anyway. He would sit in that recliner, slowly dying, for the next eight months. Finally, paramedics were called back to his Greenwood home on Wednesday because he was in a lot of pain.
Webb's body was physically stuck to the power recliner and firefighters had to cut him from the chair to take him to the hospital. He died a few hours later, his body covered with sores and a "very bad odour," according to a police report.
Webb, 33, didn't ask for help for all those months, because he was ashamed and didn't have health insurance, said his wife, Ada. He slept and used the bathroom in his chair and she cleaned it every day. The former preacher would post sermons online from the chair, and it wasn't long before he decided he was ready to go home to the Lord, she said.
"After he sat there in that one spot for a week, he was embarrassed. It was like he already knew what was going to happen," Ada Webb said.
Webb's mother was the one who placed the final call to paramedics. Not only did crews have to cut apart the chair, but they had to cut a hole in the wall of the couple's mobile home about 70 miles west of Columbia to get him out. A police report said he weighed about 800pounds (360 kilograms), but his wife said he was closer to 500 pounds (225 kilograms).
The hospital told Tillmon Webb's wife he died from a heart attack, she said. The coroner's office isn't investigating the death and referred all questions to Greenwood County deputies, who sent their report, but didn't respond to a phone message.
Webb died on the couple's second anniversary. They met four years ago on MySpace, and Ada Webb said she didn't see a man who weighed more than 500 pounds, but instead saw a guy who loved the Lord and had a big heart.

PLEASANT HILL, Mo. (AP) - A woman who had been charged with child endangerment after almost 370 animals were seized from her Missouri farm has been placed on two years of unsupervised probation.
Sixty-two-year-old Virginia Gambriel was charged with two counts of first-degree child endangerment after a raid in August 2008. But she was found guilty of lesser misdemeanor charges in October. Gambriel was sentenced on Wednesday.
Polk County investigators and the Humane Society of Missouri rescued almost 370malnourished animals from Gambriel's farm near Pleasant Hope. About 100 of the animals were kept inside the mobile home where Gambriel and two of her grandchildren lived.
Gambriel is barred from caring for any children at the home or keeping more than three animals. She is due in court on Nov. 25 to face 13 misdemeanor charges related to animal abuse.

Seattle police say a man who thought he was ninja was impaled on a metal fence when he tried to leap over it.
An officer who was looking for an assault victim Monday night heard the man screaming for help.
Police supported him to prevent further injuries until medics arrived and took him to a hospital, where he was in serious condition in intensive care on Tuesday.
Police spokeswoman Renee Witt wrote in a department website posting that officers thought the man might have been involved in the reported assault, but he insisted he was just a ninja trying to clear a 1.5 metre-tall fence.
Witt says the man was "overconfident in his abilities," and that alcohol likely played a role.
His name was not released.

IT'S WHAT GUYS CALL 'THE CHILLING EFFECT', A man having sex with another man's wife in her apartment in Chengdu, China, was stunned when her husband unexpectedly came home and started screaming at him. In his panic, he climbed out the window, but had to perch on the air conditioner as the apartment is on the third floor. A neighbor photographed him, and the picture went around the world. He was upset at "how I look naked, I must point out it was a very cold day."

A burglar wanted by police in Swansea, Wales, hated the mug shot of him printed in the South Wales Evening Post as part of the story that he was on the run. So he sent in a better picture of himself standing in front of a police van. The stunt could backfire, because the paper printed the photo on the front page.

A Michigan judge says a man who claims he was chased, shot and beaten by workers at a store he'd just robbed can sue the men. But only if he comes up with $10,000 within two weeks.
Scott T. Zielinski is serving an 8-year prison sentence after being convicted of unarmed robbery for the November 2007 heist at Nick's Party Stop in Clinton Township.
The 23-year-old filed a lawsuit against the store, its owner and three employees in April. Zielinski was shot twice and claims he was excessively beaten.


Circuit Judge David Viviano ruled this week that although Zielinski is indigent and imprisoned, he must post a $10,000 bond to cover the store and employees' attorneys fees if he looses the case.
Zielinski is seeking $125,000.

FBI officials say an elderly, thin, gray-haired man nicknamed the "Geezer Bandit" is responsible for holding up five San Diego-area banks since summer.
Investigators say the man appears to be in his 70s. Officials say that in the most recent robbery Monday, he approached a Bank of America teller in La Jolla, displayed a handgun and asked for cash. He fled on foot.
FBI spokesman Darrell Foxworth says investigators believe the man is also responsible for robbing four other San Diego County banks since August 28.


Law enforcement officials are offering $16,000 in rewards for information that leads to his arrest and conviction.

He was booked into Ventura County Jail, then released on a promise to appear in court.
A motive was not clear.
