We just finished our procession at Bonny island(St. Raphael's Parish + St. Theresa's quasi parish)...the experience was wonderful and spirit provoking. We went round the town letting people know that Jesus remains the king today and forever. Jesus Igweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I love the catholic church.

Babe you correct jare!

Sahara-reporters, the most unprofessional media outlet in Nigeria; only fools would believe this lie. It is really pathetic to realize that 90% of the news we see today where all provided by anonymous sources. The annoying fact remains that these news outlet do not even try to verify the information given to them by the said source...what is stopping Sahara-reporters from making further inquiry into the autopsy report of Prof. Festus Iyayi's death ? What is the intent of those who orchestrated his death? Why did we not get similar allegation from other lecturers who where in the same vehicle with Prof. Festus Iyayi? If the said anonymous witnessed the assassination of Prof. Festus Iyayi, why did he prefer to confide in Sahara-reporters instead of his fellow lecturers or better still his family members? This vile and virulence allegation shouldn't be swept under the carpet, the Nigerian government should follow this allegation with a full intrepid autopsy that would be shown to the world. And if it happens that this allegations are false, the federal government and the Kogi state government should press charges against them. There is only one direction this false calumny points to, the opposition are out of idea to ensure that this strike persist, which has prompted them to publish this paltry effluvium in conjunction with Sahara-reporters, their splinter party.

I feel very sorry for APC...they will end up working soo hard for nothing.

I was with the All Progressives Congress train that went to Kano Government House to invite Governor Musa Kwankwaso to join the league of progressives in the country, determined to bring about the change we need.

I joined the train courtesy of a friend of mine who was with one of the APC governors present in Kano. I joined the delegation from the airport, at the instance of my friend who insisted I shifted my flight due for Lagos that afternoon.

I felt elated that I was being part of unfolding history. Indeed I still feel happy that I was there, especially after the fraternity I saw, the sign of hope for those looking for change as exhibited that day by the reception accorded the delegation by Governor Kwankwaso. Various members of the delegation spoke very well about the importance of joining hands together to remove the incompetent PDP government.

Alas, the star attraction at the event, former military head of state, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), delivered something that was every inch a sectional and even shallow. Addressing the crowd at the packed Government House hall, Buhari spoke of “strategic plan” to destroy the North, in reference to the Boko Haram insurgency. He took larger part of his short speech to whip up sentiments on why Boko Haram is “political strategy to destroy us”.

Who then are “us”? This politics of dichotomy coming from a man of his standing was, to say the least, unfortunate. It sent shivers of shock down my spine as I looked over my shoulders, to a largely Hausa Muslim audience that were really captivated by these remarks coming from someone who should know.

To Gen. Buhari, the excessive bloodshed perpetrated by the insensitive Boko Haram killing squad was not about religion, it was a political weapon. For real? So all the church bombings, all the claims by the sect that it was waging a religious war were not enough for Buhari to realise the dimension of this danger?

How would he want the families of those hundreds of people blown away by accursed suicide bombers to react to this? To put it in another way, Buhari was saying that “OUR youths are being USED to kill in the name of politics to destroy OUR region”.

This re-echoes what President Goodluck Jonathan said after the 2010 Independence Day bombing in Abuja: “My people cannot do this”. For that commentary on Boko Haram, Buhari has fallen in the same category as President Jonathan.

With what had happened to him in the three consecutive elections he stood, many political observers, like this writer, thought that Gen. Buhari will change his ways by recanting his slanted views on national issues. The Katsina-born General was roundly rejected by people outside his Hausa-Fulani-Muslim enclave in the elections he contested under various umbrellas in 2003, 2007 and 2011.

The reason is not far-fetched. For a man who fought to keep Nigeria united and later come to head the country as military head of state, Buhari’s latter .day comments fall below the lines of a nationalist, more so one who aspires to lead a country as complex and heterogenous as Nigeria. At the heat of the Sharia debate, a time when self-serving politicians moved to cover up their mess by invoking religion to divide people and win over hapless masses, General Buhari came out to join that charade.

His words to the effect that Muslims should vote only for fellow Muslims, came not only as a shocker but eroded the respect many Nigerians have for General Buhari as someone with impeccable personal integrity. That actually set tongues wagging.

However, the perplexing thing is, just as you think the man has abandoned his old ways, he would come with yet another myopic statement that would scare everybody around. And, the reality is no one can help him better than himself. A situation where one offends the sensibilities of people directly touched by such a carnage, there is no one else to remedy the situation. After all, the man is not new to such uncalculated utterances that often lead to needless controversy which also erode public confidence in him.

Since the escalation of the Boko Haram carnage, Buhari has never come out to condemn the actions as being perpetrated by indigenous youths. Instead, he uses almost every avenue to try to find excuses for what has been happening.

The General is so much clung to his theory of conspiracy and the ultimate direction of the conspirators is people from the South or the Federal Government which is being “controlled” by people from the South. Does the former head of state mean Christian, who are in the minority in the North, are the ones throwing bombs amidst chants of “Allahu Akbar”? Or, does he mean the hundreds of families whose breadwinners and other members were killed by the insurgents sacrificed their loved ones to “destroy our region”?

No stranger can go to the forests and deserts of Maiduguri to set up training camps and no government, no matter how heartless can start something that would threaten its sovereignty.

It is indeed unfortunate that a man aspiring to lead this country at this point in time, will showcase not only sectional biases but also flawed understanding of issues. Militant Islamism is a global phenomenon that is worrying countries from the South Pole to the Northern hemisphere. For someone of Buhari’s standing to fail to acknowledge that this is a problem afflicting Muslim communities all over the world, is worrisome. Boko Haram, as anybody with fair knowledge of world events today should know, is not an exclusive phenomenon.

It is part of the global uprising that started from such countries as Afghanistan, Algeria, Somalia, Pakistan and others and influenced pockets of other Islamists in far and near countries. Why is it that Muslims in Northern Mali did not blame similar occurrence to their central government or the Christian in the South? Yes, politics is a game but it should not be such a nasty and brainless one.

The formation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has given hope to millions of Nigerians who have been completely lost hope in the current dispensation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). However, if characters with biased minds and flawed thinking like General Buhari are the strongest selling points of the APC structure then I doubt if the ultimate aim of the merger could be really accomplished.

Because while some of us still believe in the process and the personality of General Buhari (who is very unpopular down here, for his utterances and disposition) his statements are weakening our effort in selling him as a possible messiah for our country. Listening to him in Kano the other day cast a huge doubt in my mind if indeed this man can rule over a united Nigeria, devoid of sentiments.

And this is the man some progressive beer parlor palm wine tappers are peddling around as the saviour of our great country Nigeria...too much intake of jingoism sour wine i assume.

A very silly thread i must say...Federal character! This is actually the problem that has relegated Nigeria into a backward country. The players Keshi selected are doing the job for us, we shouldn't let our prebendalistic and jingoist perception of life becloud our lucid sense of reasoning; OP, one thing i know for sure is that you need to be exorcised from your crass hatred towards the igbo people. I love Nigeria no be mouth, na also by thought and expression; it is obvious to me that you do not mean well for Nigeria...go chop sh*t if e dey pain you jare.

dabrake: I am team Jazzy but believe me, I am disappointed.

M*g* i am sure you didn't listen to the song...kai! naija and their bad belle self.

Big4wig: No b only surulere,ajegunle nko

M*m*, you just comment without asking questions. Surulere means patience...abi u think say na surulere wey dey Lagos them dey talk about?

Finally finally...i thought NSUK doesn't exist in this part of the world...anyway, am not happy with NSUK chapter of ASUU, just saying.

Psychedelia: I've also got to add...

While this may be an OK song and all, it doesn't strike as the type that would stand the test of time.

It's more of a Play-For-Just-This-Week-And-Forget-It-Ever-Existed-Afterwards type of song.

Non-offensive, but at the same time, non-remarkable.

It's just there, dude.

I find it difficult to understand why you guys can't just appreciate hard work; this song is a great tune. This song is a compensation for all the noise D'banj and co have dishing out to us in the name of music.

tnature: Cool....it's some good tune.

A great tune...i have been listening to this song all day.

I most confess, its been long i heard something musically beautiful as this from a naija artist.

deranged sycophant.

@Safex,God bless you sir. You will never lack, as you have helped people who are in need so will God continue to assist your children and family. I greatly appreciate your kind gesture sir...i officially announce you my Nairaland man of the year.

I feel soo sorry for you bro, i just wish i am in a position to help; but am not. I am currently a student like you, and i understand how critical your situation is. i am currently not buoyant enough to assist you at this time, but, My prayer for you is that God should sends you a helper. It is in situations like this we get to know those who are true Nairalanders...you never can tell what the future holds for us. I am appealing to all those who are in position to help this young man to do so and help save his educational career.

This format only works on selected video sites like, youtube, facebook, dailymotin etc(go to www.savefrom.net to see the supported resources). If the video is not sourced from YouTube, the chances of it work is very slim.

I pity D'banj...he really needs to stop his lewd style of performance, it's not helping his career at all.

Kokomaster Dbanj was supposed to storm and take over Zimbabwe last weekend at the Lion Lager Summer Beer Festival dubbed the “Battle of Africa” but according to reports from Zimbabwe, our man delivered a very lukewarm performance that eventually had him booed off stage.

According to AllAfrica, the festival featured Ugandan reggae musician Bebe Cool and local dancehall artistes Winky D, Guspy Warrior and King Shaddy.
D’Banj represented West Africa while Bebe Cool represented East Africa.

D’Banj was the main attraction and when it was turn for him to perform, he exploded onto the stage
amid pomp and zest but soon fizzled out and slumped into near- pornography with some fans.

He ran out of steam after exhausting his familiar songs in less than an hour and went into what many revellers described as “hogwash”.

His opening song was “Fall in Love”, followed by “Oliver Twist”, “Kukere” remix, “Don’t Tell Me Nonsense”, “Igwe” and “Why Me”. Then he lost the plot.

Neither his scantily dressed dancers nor his swag was enough to sway the majority of the crowd that became visibly restless and disappointed.
So disappointing was his performance that he resorted to X-rated antics with ladies he calls “Kokolates” on the stage, in a bid to kill time.

Among the “Kokolates” was songstress Ammara Brown, who jumped on stage and joined in the dirty dancing.

“Let me see all my Kokolates on stage, now shake your boom boom and do the catwalk,” he said, amid boos from the crowd, especially men.
Some disgruntled fans hurled insults and obscenities.

D’Banj failed to impress and was the opposite of the Nigerian twins P-Square who performed at the same festival last year and left fans asking for more.
P-Square were even barred from leaving the stage by fans who craved for more.

“This guy should not have been the main act at the show. He has a few hit songs we know that he has performed. Now look at how he is whiling up the remaining time with the ladies,” said a fan in the crowd.

You guys are already giving me a feel of season 3.

I am kind of busy now, which has made it very difficult for me to catch up with the season three. But, i must confess, the season 2 finale was mind blowing. No matter how farsighted one is in the matters of series, the final scenes of the finale was one that was never anticipated; it just came out of the blue.

Herbarium: lolz,u funny die.@op it is BA and not Bsc

I was like, is there anything like Bsc in English? I need not speak further on the above, because you have made me understand why you are yet to exploit the many opportunity at your disposal as a student of English.

Fraudulent thread. You only gave it the above title just to get our attention. Useless thread...nothing new, still same old story.

This series is currently one of the best around; a fact that was cemented with the various awards it swept away from other great series like Game of Thrones at the Oscar award. When i first ordered for the series on DVD, i never envisaged that i was on a ride filled with the longing and desire of an Oliver twist. An encounter with this series didn't only turn me an addict, i also became emotionally attached to the characters. I must say, this series is one of the very best i have seen in recent years, and a series i would gladly recommend to any girl i hope to impress by my choice-able clairvoyant nature.
