So Malawi is even calling Nigeria a spent force - adding insults to injury.

The poster of this thread is having a laugh! You have all been fooled. Can't you see these pictures were taking during the construction of the present gate? can't you see the completed gate was painted and the the claimed to be demolished was not.

And Andoaaka, the Attorney General, have forgotten about him? he even went to London to defend Ibori.

Our own Goodluck Jonathan is among the Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in the world for 2012. In fact he is a place behind President Obama at number 62. I am proud of my president, although no prophet is acceptable in his own land.

How much did NTC and Nigeria Breweries donate to his church last week?

Those who brought christianity to Africa were chain smokers and drunken sailors; My fellow brothers open your eyes. Hell is here on earth, enjoy your puffing smoke and sapele water. God is in control, your place is assured in heaven.

What a strange world; the abnormal has now become normal. Do you think every woman will be like you? There are still some good ones out there with there virginity still intact. We call them women of virtue.

… I didn’t – Commissioner Otumara
THERE was controversy, at the weekend, in Delta State over the allegation that the Delta State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Joseph Otumara, slapped a nursing officer at the Central Hospital, Mrs. Akata Oghenero, just as the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives, NANNM, in the state is spoiling for a showdown over the matter.

But the commissioner, Dr. Joseph Otumara, swore to Sunday Vanguard on phone, yesterday, that he didn’t slap Mrs. Oghenero, saying that he only tried to stop her from making calls with her GSM phone while work was going on during his visit to the hospital on March 29.

The incident was said to have happened at the gynecologist ward of the Central Hospital in the presence of many nurses and officials of the Ministry of Health, Asaba.

Otumara said the medical director of the hospital cautioned the nurse to stop her noisy phone call, but she rebuffed the order, adding that it was her defiance that attracted his attention, and action in trying to stop her from disturbing others.

However, nurses at the Central Hospital, Warri commenced a strike action on Friday over the incident and, according to a privileged source, “They are waiting at home for the state leadership to declare a state-wide action from tomorrow (Monday).

But, a reliable source hinted that the bone of contention was being discussed between the commissioner and the leadership of the nurses, and the differences might be sorted out.

However, the Forum for Justice and Human Rights Defence, FJHD, in Delta State, has demanded that the commissioner should tender an unreserved apology to the nurse or resign his appointment.

The group, in a statement by its national coordinator, Oghenejabor Ikimi, stated, “We are in receipt of a protest letter minuted upon and sent to our office by Comrade Ojei J.O, the Central Hospital, Warri Unit Chairman of the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives.

“The said letter is headlined thus: Letter of protest: Physical Assault on the person of Mrs. Akata Oghenero, a Nursing Officer II at the Central Hospital, Warri by Dr. Joseph Otumara, Hon Commissioner for Health, Delta State.”

The letter went on: “On 29 March, 2012, while Mrs. Akata Oghenero, a Nursing Officer II at the Central Hospital, Warri was on duty in the Gynae ward of the said hospital, the Honourable Commissioner for Health, Delta State, Dr. Joseph Otumara, and his entourage came into the said ward and, in the process, Mrs. Akata Oghenero, in company of some student nurses who were present, immediately stood up to acknowledge his presence, while the said commissioner and his entourage walked through to the maternity ward.

“Shortly afterwards, Mrs. Akata Oghenero, while seated and receiving an emergency call on her mobile phone, suddenly heard a slap on her right check with a thunderous voice, ‘Why did you not stand up the second time’ and, upon turning her face, Mrs. Akata Oghenero discovered her assailant to be Dr. Joseph Otumara, the Health Commissioner, who was still fuming.

“At that point, Mrs. Akata Oghenero was speechless, humiliated, battered and weeping; there and then, the permanent secretary, Hospitals Management Board, Asaba, requested for the name of Mrs. Akata Oghenero, threatening to issue her a query and relieve her of her job”.

Ikimi went on: “Assuming, without conceding that Mrs. Akata Oghenero had committed an offence while Dr. Joseph Otumara was visiting, slapping a nurse on duty is definitely not one of the ways to discipline an erring public officer and, as such, we call on the said Health Commissioner to publicly tender an unreserved apology to the said Mrs. Akata Oghenero or, in the alternative, resign his appointment as he is not a fit and proper person to hold a public office.

‘’In the final analysis, we shall not hesitate to enforce the fundamental rights of Mrs. Akata Oghenero on her behalf and claim damages at large against the said Dr. Joseph Otumara in person, should he fail to heed to our above warnings”.

Top 10 sports stars who blew fortunes | The Rundown
Basketball legend Dennis Rodman has burned through a £20 million fortune, and is now facing a potential spell in jail over unpaid child maintenance grants.
He's not the first sporting household name to end up bankrupt, however: we run down the top 10 sports stars who squandered their fortunes, starting with the basketball star himself.
- -  -

Basketball: Dennis Rodman

In the 1980s and 1990s, Dennis Rodman became a basketball legend, playing in the same all-conquering Chicago Bulls team as the likes of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
It wasn't just his on-court success that made him famous - not that he was short on that score, with five NBA championships and a place in the NBA Hall of Fame.
With his aggressive style and habit of dying his hair bizarre colours, he became one of the most recognisable faces in the sport - if not all of sport. His fame earned him an estimated $30 million fortune, and he enjoyed a lifestyle that saw him rub shoulders with showzbiz pals, make several movie appearances and marry Carmen Electra.
All that cost money, however, as did his 47ft speedboat (tastefully named 'Sexual Chocolate'), the illegal helicopters at his 40th birthday, a pick-up truck with his portrait painted on the bonnet and the endless parties at his beachside home.
Rodman, now 50, is said by his lawyer to be broke and alcoholic, and owes £500,000 in child maintenance payments to his third wife, Michelle, as well as nearly £70,000 in unpaid tax. The commissioner overseeing his case will issue his sentence on May 29, and has said that the fallen idol will be given community service rather than jail.
How he will catch up with his back payments on his current estimated salary of £30,000-a-year is another matter entirely. Rodman doesn't even have a pension, having cashed in his NBA plan to pay off debts a few years ago.

Football: Peter Shilton

The former England goalkeeper was once the highest-earning footballer in the country, but blew his fortune on gambling and disastrous business ventures. He recovered and emerged to become a motivational speaker, but sadly he recently split from his wife, Sue, who had stood by him through everything since 1970.

Golf: John Daly

The 'Wild Thing' burst onto the scene when he arrived at the 1991 US PGA Championship as the ninth alternate, having driven all night to get to the course, and blew away the field with his unprecedented huge drives and an often miraculous short game touch. He instantly became one of the biggest draws in the game, and his 1995 Open Championship victory only added to the legend. His penchant for alcohol and gambling cost him everything, however: he reportedly once lost $1.65 million on Las Vegas slot machines in just five hours. He claims to have lost a total of $50 or $60 million, and was saved from bankruptcy several times by the generosity of his sponsors. He still has enough skill and public affection to be making a decent living.

Boxing: Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson

The once undisputed heavyweight champions of the world both earned vast fortunes in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Holyfield picked up over $250m in his career, but had the bank foreclose on his $10m house in 2008 (his house, incidentally, had 109 rooms). Holyfield cites poor business decisions and his two failed marriages (which have left him with huge child support bills) as the reasons for his financial woes.
Tyson, meanwhile, burnt through even more cash: some $300m and more went down the toilet - literally, at one point. Among his many extravagances was an exotic bathroom suite whose bathtub alone cost $2m! He was declared bankrupt in 2003 with a reported $34m debt. He returned to the ring to pay off his bills, but hit the rocks again and was convicted of cocaine possession in 2007. Today, he makes ends meet by appearing as himself in movies and tends his pigeons at home in New York.

Darts: Jocky Wilson

The recently-deceased darts legend was a double world champion who became an icon, earning millions and even having his image appear on Top of The Pops. But his excessive drinking began to take its toll - he once lost a game he'd been well in charge of as he got drunker and drunker, and fell off the stage at the end of the match. Two years after retiring to his hometown of Kirkcaldy, Fife, he was declared bankrupt and ended up living in a one-bedroom flat ravaged by diabetes and arthritis.

Football: Paul Gascoigne

The likeable Geordie became the talisman of English football following his outstanding performances at the 1990 World Cup, and the nation's darling when he was pictured blubbing his eyes out after getting a yellow card in the semi-final. Injuries and heavy drinking meant that he rarely exhibited his talent to its full again, but it was after his retirement that things started to go seriously wrong. Bulimia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, alcoholism and gambling problems sent him spiralling downwards. In 2008 he reportedly told paramedics to let him die while they pumped his stomach following a drink and drugs binge. He has blown £14m, and has narrowly avoided bankruptcy several times over the last few years after agreeing voluntary repayment schemes instead.

Football: Peter Marinello

The Scottish football star became Arsenal's most expensive signing when he joined the Gunners for £100,000 in 1970, and his career started in fine fashion with a goal against Manchester United. Hailed as the new George Best, he took that label too literally with a lavish livestyle and heavy drinking that undermined his talent. A string of injuries didn't help, and within three years he was scratching around for contracts wherever he could get them. His luck didn't change in retirement, and a failed business dealing in 1994 saw him declared bankrupt.

Snooker: Alex Higgins

The Northern Irishman's flamboyant style earned him legions of fans, but even in his heyday his excessive drinking meant he only won two World Championshipa - despite being the most naturally-talented player of his generation. He earned millions, but drank it all away - often with the help of Jimmy White and Oliver Reed. By 2009 he was living in a caravan, and the year after needed friends to raise money for teeth implants to help him put on weight and avoid death. The money was raised but Higgins was never well enough to have the implants, and he died in July 2010.

Basketball: Latrell Sprewell

The NBA superstar's career came to a premature end in 2005 when he rejected a three-year, $21m deal from the Minnesota Timberwolves, claiming that he couldn't afford to feed his family on such a paltry sum. Despite having earned $96m in his career to that date, he found it even harder to keep those mouths fed after retirement. His financial woes included having his 70ft yacht and two $5m mansions repossessed, and getting sued for $200m by a former girlfriend.

He has turned his congregation into conglomeration!

seechris: Pls read the bible and see how greatly God blessed david ,BIshop oyedepo is an annointed man and this comes with great blessings so hate not.instead connect.a compilation of the churchs welfare activities will shut u guys up,u will be amazed at what this ministry is doing for the poor and needy.

Enough of this annointed bull.sh.it, not everyone is as gaullible as you are. Churches are supposed to be run as charity organisations where the needy are catered for but not as multi-business conglomerations. ALL THESE SO CALLED PASTORS ARE FRAUDS

Okonjo Iweala is a patriot and a honest economist. She cannot succeed as a Finance minister in a country where corruption is deeply rooted in every aspect of government undertakings. She will be best suited with her appointment at the World Bank. She is too good for Nigeria - a lions den.

Opposition foot soldiers at work!

I will like FRSC to support their argument with statistics of what percentage is the RHD or converted LHD of the total numbers of vehicles involved in accidents. I will also like them to show me which law prohibits the importation of RHD vehicles. If they doubt the technical quality of converted vehicles, they should set up a testing facility and issue a certificate of road worthiness before they are allowed on the road. If people are allowed to import such vehicles and excise duty are paid on them to the government, why should they be banned from converting and using those vehicles?

Primitive illiterates! You are all still living in stone age. Dark minds harbour dark beliefs.

Funkymallam: Trust nairalanders to compare this case to d SA deportation ish.

This guys were deported cus they were illegal immigrants with no valid papers or stay permits. This deportation is right and normal.

The SA issue was about a mere yellow fever card, wc if u cant accept the one they brought, u quarantine them at the airport b4 they enter ur country, they were no illegal immigrants, they v got their valid papers!

I am not against their being deported if they are illegal immigrants but I am not happy at all with the way and manner they are being deported - using a cargo plane when they are not animals.
There are no comfortable seats in a cargo plane where they can securely fasten their belts during take-off and landing. Afterall Nigeria is part of the commonwealth. By the way, do you know how much British oil companies make from Nigeria every year?
