So many lessons to learn about life, but one is so sure...death is unavoidable.

Difficult to believe that someone will inflict such harm to herself. I mean for what purpose will she do that.
Nevertheless, the kind of things that happen nowadays, makes the heart to quake. Don't trust anyone anymore.

funkydot: @Op
What is all dis sanctimonious nonsense you have just penned that all your ilk here are celebrating?!!! People like you make me sick because you just take a look at someone and condemn then from your high viewing pedestal based on media representation wtf! Just because Goldie lived part of her life in the face of the public being an entertainer doesn't mean she can be trashed for whatever we deduce from her so-called lifestyle forgetting that most of our generalisation about these so-called celebrities are mostly based on assumptions and half-truths. Besides the fact that we found out Goldie was married after her death as well as her celebrated relationship with Prezzo, there doesn't seem to be any other scandal associated with her...now if you would be reasonable and agree with me that in between her so-called 'secret marriage' and dalliance with Prezzo there are a lot of grey areas that we do not understand and perhaps may never know nor is this really any business of ours.In view of the fact that the main man (i.e. her hubby) who should have felt slighted or wronged by this 'adultery' kept praising her really makes me wonder what exactly all this hullabaloo is all about! I believe each and everyone of us should examine ourselves to see if indeed we are living exemplary lives before this castigation of Goldie. For the records, I had no intention of holding brief for her because I could barely stick her while she was alive, perhaps I even said some mean words about her during the BBA episode because she came across as a needy and clingy lady not particularly my type of role model because I mostly admire strong women but this whole ish on her death and lifestyle is just totally pitiful so please let's put some sensibilities into our comments remembering she has loved ones that will be grieving her early demise. Just my 2 cents.

Seriously?

How come it took NJC such a long time to cage these Judges?
They should be barred from court premises for life.
Their judgements are unbelievable

Nigeria Military is a mafia world.
Who do I believe now?

A word is enough for the wise.
This Soyinka's special Love letter is to Bayelsa Perm Secretary, Nigeria First Lady & Africa First Lady.
What the hell is African First Ladies Mission House

A Valentine Day Message should be brief, so I must plead for understanding for this departure from the norm. In any case, I deplore the slavish adoption of foreign saints of whatever shade, color, or religious persuasion. However, the coincidence of dates for women’s intervention in yet another egregious conspiracy to drain the Nigerian treasury, mounted in the name of a high-flying member of your gender, strikes me as a call to break the mould and submit myself to the call of Saint Valentine.

A Yoruba proverb goes thus: Ti a ba ma a j’opolo, ka je eyi to l’eyin. (If one must eat a toad, then go for an egg-bloated one). If I must send a Valentine card for the first time in my life, then let me do so on a grand scale. I have therefore elected not to lend my affection to any one individual, but the entire bevy of First Ladies
of the African continent – and that includes First Male Spouses. What, after all, is to stop these male consorts from developing ‘pet projects’ and setting up Missions? Even if they number no more than one or two, there is a saying that goes: What is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander.

A mind-boggling fiscal misappropriation – Four Billion Naira, no less! – is being attempted in your names – openly, in an attempt to institutionalize an illegality through a debasement of the democratic process. It is no longer secretive but in-your-face, and damn public opinion! Your names have been invoked as the ultimate beneficiaries, and thus, you are vicariously implicated. In the name of St. Valentine and the love I bear for you all, please dissociate yourself from this display of shameless avarice. I shall not go so far as to ask you to denounce what you probably know nothing about, but if you ever get to hear of it, distance yourselves from the gross impropriety. I implore you in the name of all local equivalents of St. Valentine: continue to serve humanity within and outside your borders, but without self-interest. Assist this nation in crushing the increasing acquisitive impudence of individuals and institutions that do not exist in our constitution, yet insist on fattening on national resources.

The enthronement of vulgar preening and opportunistic consumption is complicating the battle of a principled minority on critical social issues. It gets in the way of sanitizing society, and has become an expensive distraction. When you visit in your personal and/or professional capacities, or as consorts to your spouses, we would love to love you, respect and honor you. It will be painful to watch you dodging a rain of rotten eggs and tomatoes in place of flower petals and bouquets.

There is no such thing as an African First Ladies Mission in the Nigerian appropriation list. Any claim remotely like it is the conspiracy of sycophants, jobbers, masters of impunity, a desperate clique that unfurls a continental umbrella as cover for private aggrandizement. Please, do not be a part of it. The people of this nation are fast losing patience.

Yours in unstinting love, this St. Valentine’s Day of Two Thousand and Thirteen, Wole SOYINKA (A Public Service Retiree)

Professor Soyinka’s letter/speech was read on his behalf by President, Women Arise for Change Initiative, Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, during a protest march to the Lagos State Government House, Alausa, on Thursday.

GARRI (x7):
Keshi's case is‎​ a clear example of how to shut critics up!!

Instead of hiring attack dogs (Okukpe, Abati n Reno) to attack perceived enemies, GEJ should focus on performing.

Didn't we see how overnight Nigerians changed from Abusing Keshi to singing his praises from the rooftops!!

Didn't we see how Keshi and the boys transformed from villains to HEROs overnight!!!

After the successful outing of the eagles, has anyone come out to criticise Keshi's decisions or actions??

That's the Spirit of Nigerians!!!

If you've performed, you don't need goons running up and down on online forums like s e x - starved he-goats forcing spurious developmental claims down our throats!!

Let GEJ borrow leaf from Keshi by silencing his critics with solid performance.

Kamanda: Morally Bankrupt Foo-ls like insincere9gerian,Taharqa,etc etc

Hey!

BlackBaron: Keshi is surrounded by effective team players.

Jonathan is surrounded by what...

Hope you've not forgotten that it was the same Keshi team that was under performing in the first three rounds of matches.

Keshi, if I remember very well, only re-assigned roles prior to Ivory coast match.

May be GEJ can re-work his team. Everything points to GEJ...if he fires some under performers, may be and I said may be...we can start getting flickers of hope of better days ahead.

SPOT ON!

I like your second line...'Instead of hiring attack dogs (Okukpe, Abati n Reno) to attack perceived enemies, GEJ should focus on performing'.

donroxy: Nigerians are highly appreciative......if GEJ could give such Turn-around before 2015......trust Nigerians shall all come-out to sing his praise and encourage him for Second Term


If not....


Abuja-Otueke is just 11hours by road(the road is bad)..... By flight tis shd be under an Hour (private jet and Military Chopper).... Comes 2015!!!

We are on the same page, charley!

...if and only if GEJ can turn things around before 2015, Nigerians will advertise him.Otherwise it will be as you said Abuja-Otueke by road!

Haba! Am I alone on this day dreaming...

I have this feeling that what happened to Keshi prior and during the AFCON group qualification rounds and beyond, is similar to what GEJ is facing currently in Nigeria, may be he (GEJ) might make us smile in nearest future.
As GEJ is percieved or appears to be clueless, so did Keshi look as if he has no technical depth to turn Super Eagles around especially while looking at him at the bench during those three matches.
Remarkably, Keshi was not given any chance by majority of Nigerians, not even his employer (NFF) untill the Ivory Coast match. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN...I repeat BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN... THINGS CHANGED FOR GOOD.
This is similar case with GEJ. As it stands now we (majority of Nigerians) are not sure he's competent enough to put smile on our faces. So many negatives have been written already on his inabilities.[/b]
But on a second thought, I told myself, [b]'what if GEJ miraclously turn things around before 2015' and we all turn around again and start singing his praise as we are currently doing to Keshi & Crew.
Do you agree on the possibility of such coincidence happening?

Very good move by Jonathan

Everything is going wrong in the northern Nigeria.
So sad that the govt & northern leaders are hypocritical in solving this problem.
I advice people (whether Local or foreigner) to be very vigilante and in most case 'leave' the North to safety.
They don't deserve any help, not to talk of losing your head, no matter the circumstance.

Seunn11: The killers need not be northerners. Can't some tribalists from the jewist tribe do it in order to destroy the north? Watch your back.

What an unnecessary twist.

My First Bank Savings have not received any dime as interest.

Sunday Mba - always scoring a critical goal.

I thanked God.

When the referee moved towards Enyama, I thought Enyama was in trouble only for the Ref to pick the ball from him and blew the final whistle and Enyama out of joy carried the referee.

Something is seriously wrong with these people. They are simply killing for fun b/c they aint fighting any jack about western education.
What a hypocrisy...fighting with western gun? western tricycle?. Haba!

FRSC has simply run out of ideas on how to solve the speed-related road accidents.

Sullivan welcome back to Enugu. Hope your trip was good.
Next time don't keep people in dark about your whereabouts, remember you are a public figure.
When you have relaxed enough, please start work. I was trilled by my last visit to Enugu (Dec 2012).
Good work. Welldone!

It depends on who is called Nigerians. Is Doyin Okupe dreaming?

Cultism is evil... whether the one practiced in university or the one outside university.It is a 'game' of death.
It nearly destroyed my junior brother but thanks be to God he survived, after spending almost 7years for a course of 4years.
Whoever introduced the idea of cultism in Nigeria university simply brought youth destruction. Ever imagined what our universities would have been without cultism.

Ethnicity is one of our biggest problem in Nigeria. That's why incompetents are hoisted on the competents - just to meet up with the quota.
I am not surprised at all. This is not the best time for the Northerner's as their power-base: Military & Politics are seriously under check.
Only time will tell if it will end up being a 'checkmate' and Nigeria crashes, or another game will resume.

Whatever a man sow, so shall he reap.
Whoever participated in this dastardly act has blood in his hand.
Vengeance belongs to God. What has Papa done?

Nigeria 3: Burkina Faso 1

Good news to me. So that the equation will be balanced.
