Osama Bin Laden: The Death of a Die- Hard Arsenal Fan Osama Bin Laden: An Arsenal Die-hard? By (Featured Columnist) on May 3 2011 Yoosof Farah

Arsenal have many a celebrity fan, from Kevin Costner to Jay-Z to Colin Firth. And now it appears the most hated man on earth was also a diehard Gooner.  Ever since "Obama got Osama," the world's headlines have been littered with all kinds of stories about Osama Bin Laden, including how he lived a life of luxury in a secluded, three-story $1 million compound. But what some may not know is that Bin Laden was also rumoured to be an Arsenal fan, and a strong one at that. During a recruitment trip to London in 1994 , Osama Bin Laden apparently became transfixed on the team in red and white, watching as many of the Gunners' games as he possibly could. According to some reports, he was in the famous Clock End terrace to see Arsenal beat Paris St. Germain and Torino in the European Cup Winners' Cup. Any Arsenal fan reading this now could have once sat next to the man who would go on to become the most infamous, hated person the world has ever seen.

You should give us an update after all you live in KD.

Do you think it has anything to do with Islam? That is, the way it's been implemented in the North? Even the originators of the faith -the Arabs, have developed their societies (Morocco/Egypt/Dubai, the Kingdom of Saudi)

$650m will probably solve the problem of electricity in a state,it will build  a few state of the art hospitals,it will create loads of schools ,the list of much more urgent problems is endless.

Nigeria does NOT  still have a single hospital that can met the ALS or ATLS standard(i know this as a fact because i and others could not get approval to teach this essential life saving courses in Nigeria as there was not even one hospital in the whole nigeria we could find that met the criteria even private hospitals.the course we eventually provided was without approval and had to be renamed and even then 75% was theaory due to lack of equipment to demonstrate.).

Yet people here are actually supporting the need for another international airport rather then renovate the existing one.

Next time someone you know has a heart attack or a bad car crash and dies in a hospital i am sure you will look at this white elephant airport and think if its worth it.

Even if you are a multi millionare and don't care about anything then you should care if you substain major trauma on a bad nigerian road because news flash flying you out for treatment is not an option ,what happens in first 2 hours is what matters if you live or die.No plane will take you in such an unstable state abroad for treatment if you even make it to the airport!

Same goes for heart attacks and quite a few other critical things.

Nigerians get your priority right .Supporting a $650m new airport is totally out of priority even if its needed which i am not even sure it is.

The last two posts highlight the very reason why progress seems hard in Nigeria. A man has a mental breakdown and instead of, in the 21st century, thinking of what medical condition this may be, these two goons are trying to imply that it has to do with voodoo/juju? Na real odi kwa egwu. . . worse is you folks are probably raising children with that mentality too *** shudders****

most of the industries in the north were closed due to power shortage

namfav:
i take it as a positive news in the long run


if the south owns 50% of the industries and yet it is not doing much better than the north then how will things look if the north owned more than 50%?  this should tell the northern players that we need to work collectively in the north because there is not much to lose now, the future is in our hands, again this shows that the politics in nigeria is not failing the south it is one sided in favour of the south, it is failing the north, so enough of this talk that the north is behid the failures in the south, the corruption in the south has nothing to do with the north

Sagamite:
I have always said ABU is a top uni. But I maintain it is still slightly below UI, OAU and Unilag.

ABU alumin achievement is slightly advantageous due to the quota system. As it is the only top uni in the North and very limited Northerners going into top unis, the pool for the North's quota is concentrated there.

That said, I don't think it is far off the best.

As I always say:

Tier 1A
UI, OAU and Unilag

Tier 1B
ABU, Unilorin, Uniben, UNN and maybe a handful more.

Note: It is tier 1a and 1b, not tier 1 and 2. The difference is not much.

Obama greets Jonathan,tasks leaders on democratic model
User Rating:  /ￂ Poor Best  THE United States

President Barack Obama yesterday congratulated President Goodluck Jonathan on his victory at the presidential polls and indeed all Nigerians on the recent general elections. In a statement last night, Obama particularly praised the citizens for their patience and resolve to enhance democracy, through standing on long queues and waiting for the counting of their votes, which he alluded to their fervent desire to ensuring credible government. While acknowledging that balloting was free of intimidation and coercion, the US President deplored the violence that followed the April 16 , 2011 presidential election. “Violence has no place in a democratic society,” he said, and enjoined all Nigerians to reject it. Obama wants all Nigerian leaders and people to unite and build a laudable future and a model for Africa. The statement reads in full: “This morning, I called President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria to congratulate him on his election victory and to commend the people of Nigeria for their resolve and patience during last month’s historic presidential, legislative and gubernatorial elections.  The success of the elections was a testament to Nigerian voters who waited in long lines, stayed to watch their votes counted and were determined that these elections mark a new chapter in Nigerian history.  Credit also belongs to the Independent National Electoral Commission, the National Youth Service Corps, and Nigeria’s vibrant civil society, all of which must play a role in ensuring that the final results reflect the will of the Nigerian people and that Nigerian authorities investigate and address any allegations of fraud or irregularities. “While the majority of Nigerians cast their ballots free from intimidation and co

Which means that the heading is wrong. Rivers' IGR is far greater than Sokoto's IGR.
3 out of 5 is 60% while 40 out 80 is 50%, doesn't mean that 3 > 40 in real figures. That is not to take any thing away from Sokoto which has done well. Abia did well as well with fourth highest IGR at over 21B even with poor tax collection. With proper tax/accountability, Rivers, KD, Kano, Lagos, Anambra, Delta and Abia being the major commercial and industrial areas in the country will explode at the back pockets.

Now, someone mentioned the cement factory owned by Sokoto and the fact that they are taking advantage of the limestone deposits there. There are other cement factories in Nigeria using local limestones. The question is; does it mean that the specific minerals that the FG owns are coal, oil and gas ? Do these companies/states pay royalties to FG for tapping limestone, bauxite, aluminum etc ? If they don't, how is limestone for example different from oil/gas/coal ? Why are states not allowed to tap into oil/gas/coal but allowed to tap other resources ?

Jarus:
I've read about the couple and their exploits a couple of months.

And just thinking aloud, ABU must be a very great school. 9-10 successful person from the North passed through that school. I've seen too many brilliant minds from this school, not to come to terms with the fact that this school is easily in the class of, if not greater than some of the, OAUs, UIs, UNNs and Unilags of the South.

I think we should put sentiments and emotional attachement to our regions, religion and race aside to be able to appreciate others achievement. i hate when people start belittling or degrading other people because they came from a particular region.

nigerians are here dying of fake and substandard drugs and herbs and they are there trading their drugs to US and canada and ringing church bell for    NASDAQ. he goat and she goat odidi.
