I checked fifa website and the road to the final for our U-20 is not very rough, we avoid spain, brazil and argentina but we might meet Cameroon and France, England wasnt very fab but i just hope we dont get complacent and we really do our homework so as to kill off the game early and avoid unneccesary pressure or pk's.
Naija all the way,
From what I saw there I think we may meet brazil in the Q. final & Argentina in the semis as for cameroon nay till finals.
PoliticsLet Us Do Something About The Jumbo Pay Of The National Assembly Members Now by Eagle75(op): 4:06am On Aug 09, 2011
THE OUTRAGEOUS SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES OF OUR NATIONAL ASSEMBLY MEMBERS

The Daily Sun newspaper of Friday 3rd June, 2011 in its cover headline titled ‘Jumbo pay’ made the following revelation. ‘Lawmakers to earn N338.66 billion in the next four years’. The lawmakers here refer of course to the National Assembly. The newspaper which quoted authoritative sources for its disclosure stated that this amount of the tax payers’ money covers only salaries and sundry allowances but does not include expenses incurred on duty tours and estacode. It also does not include the unverifiable lump sum that come from oversight functions and lobbying. The paper went further to state that every senator will earn about N770 million in the next four years while his House of representative counterpart will earn N715 million within the same period. Extrapolating on these figures, it shows that each senator earns a total of N192.5 million a year or an average of N16 million a month. His House of Representative counterpart earns a year or about N14.9 million a month.

Fellow citizens of Nigeria, the above emoluments are for the ‘ordinary’ lawmakers. As for their principal officers, This Day newspaper of Monday June 6th, 2011 went further to state that the Speaker of House of Representative earns N100 million per quarter as quarterly allocation outside his salaries and allowances. This translates to N33.33 million per month. The Deputy Speaker earns N80 million quarterly allocation or N26.66 million a month. The figures for the senate President and deputy Senate President were not made available but you and I can imagine what that will be.

In the nation newspaper of June 13th, 2011 in its front page story, the newspaper stated that former House Speaker of the House of Representative Mr. Dimeji Bankole was charged to court earlier for another N12 billion which the house of Representative obtained from the First Bank of Nigeria three days to the end of its tenure. This loan was taken even in the midst of the public outcry over N10 billion the House earlier obtained from UBA. Bankole’s leadership was said to have taken over N40 billion during its tenure to service illegal allowances of lawmakers.
It has further been reported in the Nation newspaper of June 8, 2011 that as parting gifts for those returning and those not returning, members of the National Assembly are buying official vehicles bought for them in 2008 at the cost of N6 million each for a paltry sum of N200, 000.00. In the same vein their house-hold effects including electronics and office equipments are being auctioned to them at 10% of their original cost.

The governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria was recently invited for questioning by the lawmakers for daring to tell Nigerians the bitter truth that the National Assembly of less than 460 members swallows 25% of the nation’s entire annual budget. Poor Sanusi was harassed, intimidated, cajoled, abused, insulted and almost beaten up by the arrogant legislators for exposing their criminal activities. He was even asked to recant his statement.
The question now arises;
1. Who approved these criminal packages for the federal lawmakers and on what basis? Was it the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) or Federal Executive Council (FEC)?
2. If it was neither of the above, which other body or bodies approved these mind boggling emolument for Federal lawmakers?
3. If it was approved by the lawmakers themselves and for themselves, from where did they derive the authority to do so?
4. Which law of the land empowers the Federal lawmakers to fix salaries and allowances for themselves and who passed and signed such a law?
5. Where in the world does anybody have the authority to fix his own salary and allowances?
6. Are the federal lawmakers tin gods that are far and above those that voted them into office or are supposed to be servants of the people?
7. What special functions do our Federal lawmakers perform that entitles them to such horrendous remuneration? Do they perform more duties than the judicial officers, or the security agencies or the medical doctors or the lecturers? Or are their duties more hazardous than those of the above?
8. Does the Speaker of the House of Representative or Senate President perform more duties than the Chief Justice of Nigeria, or the Chief of Defence Staff or Chief of Army Staff etc?

The executive director of Probity in Nigeria a civil society organisation and a human right activist in his latest publications says, I quote “for us in probity in Nigeria, we think that enough is enough. It is time for the civil society, the NBA, NLC, TUC, ASUU, NMA, NANS, Christian and Islamic religious bodies, NCWS, Market Women, FIDA, NUJ, NAWOJ, etc rise up and stage a protest march to the National Assembly to call of the bluff, otherwise from 25% of the national budget the National Assembly will continue to milk the country dry until 100% of our National budget is devoted to them. Even at that their voracious appetite will still not be assuaged”.

He intends to organize a press conference to sensitize the general public on the need for the planned protest march to the National Assembly immediately they resume from their current recess. Our target is for one million –man march to the national assembly.

he should have distributed free school uniforms to primary schools or free books. don't be surprised if u see some students with no sandals or shoes in some schools! am not saying he should buy shoes for students without shoes, but honestly there are some basic issues that we overlook in our society, our education sector is suffering so much.
he should have used the "burnt" "roasted" 'boiled' millions of naira to develop the education sector in the state even if its just gonna contribute 0.5% to d sector.
This guy has started on education already, what is wrong with Nigerians? Rochas just shared this comodity for the poor masses who had really suffered because of the scarcity this very commodity . He just wants to ameliorate this suffering while a lasting solution is found. If you do people go talk, If you no do people go still talk, Abeg Rochas do make them be talking and your people rejoicing.

dont be deceived by Rochas, he's just a wolf in sheep clothing. he claimed that he cleared 12years pension areas, while he just paid the pentioners,the 3months areas [b]he is owing them[/b],
Mr man judging by the number of posts under your account, one can readily infer that you just registered to criticize Rochas unfairly and we look out for more of this attack from you as long as Rochas name is mentioned. meanwhile the last time i checked the topic says 12 pensioners collapse, and not 12 years pension areas as you claim. On the highlighted above, Rochas has not been governor for 3 Months that he would owe them for that long, for your information the arears occurred over 12 years ago during Achinike's tenure and Ohakim was so insensitive to clear that, Please stop deceiving yourself.

Honestly, i have nothin to gain if GEJ fails and of cos he will because the majority decided to vote in a well known incompetent person with no real past political achievement as president because of ethnic, tribal and religious reasons. i want the best for this country and wont be satisfied until i see the right peeps in the realms of affairs.

With due respect to God, the vast majority of Nigerians voted him in.

PoliticsRe: Sambo Speaks On Boko Haram by Eagle75: 10:57am On Jul 09, 2011
You guys should just pray for him and the nation.Just let him be.I never voted for him.Not with standing he happens to be our president.How can he do anything with everyone(Nigerians) attacking him and wishing him bad things.People outside Nigeria will laugh at us and think he is nobody considering how he is treated back home.
I may not like him as president and did not vote for him but he remains a bonafide Nigerian and has every right as far as i Know to be a president and get Nigerians behind him.

TIMES ARE HARD FOR HIM AND THE NATION.NOW IS THE TIME TO SUPPORT HIS GOVERNMENT AND NIGERIANS TO DO MORE TO MAKE IT WORK.

@ haka_nai
that's just the way to go. We just have to support this government and bring GEJ closer to the masses, otherwise the cabals that are gradually losing their grip at the centre of our economy and thus resorted to all this crisis cropping up here and there, would find their feat back to square one all in the name of solidarity to GEJ.

Sun of god:
Glaring hypocrisy? What a joke -  cheesy

I was and still am a GEJ supporter. And I will judge him in 4 years time!

I will re-state my position - Rochas is only interested in 'Short Term' political gains.

The people of Imo are facing a bleak future.

I predict that the state of degradation the schooling system in Imo will fall into will result in the next Governor having to double school fee's to put right Rochas wrongs.

You will judge GEJ in 4 years time, but You've already started judging Rochas who is more proactive. mmmh check your self.

PoliticsRe: Buhari Should Take Over The Control Of Efcc Operations by Eagle75: 6:41pm On Jun 21, 2011
drgica74:
The way people talk about Buhari and his strict stand on anti corruption sometimes makes me take a cursory look at his antecedents. Yes, he may not have been corrupt but I don't think he has really been tested in isolation.

I know people base their judgement on the fight against corruption during his regime of 1983-1985.However,the simple truth is that it was Idiagbon that spear headed all those stuff, Buhari was just a figure head.

I diagbon provided and implemented all the Ideas and the government was overthrown by Babangida due to the fear of Idiagbon which was becoming the beginning of Wisdom.
You made a lot of sense bruv, and besides military regime is quite different from democratized dispensation, so even if he accept such offer he might be frustrated by the decisions of the judiciary, legislators, and also ruling political parties in both federal and state levels.
