Lol you just want to prove to me that you know Gombe, anyways thats okay.

The NYSC Camp is located in a local, called Mallam sidi/cidi, so the camp is popularly called Mallam sidi or isn't it ?

Now the NYSC camp as at when she was serving was located on the right hand side of the road that lead to the camp but was later moved to a new site just ahead on the left hand side in mallam sidi.

Relocated to Gombe-Bauchi express road ? I guess that happened when the insurgence struck, 2015.

Thanks for the info,, did you also served at mallam sidi or you reside in Gombe ?

Gombe and Kaduna are the places I grew up in.

India beat Nigeria 100:1. And it was Segun Odegbami that scored the only goal for Nigeria. He eventually retired from playing football due to the injury he sustained when he scored that one goal.

Men sometimes complain that their wives
usually develop headache around bedtime,
leaving them with no choice than to allow
madam have her deserved rest .
However , researchers have said that the best
cure for headache is that three- letter word , S -
E - X ! And it is as natural as it comes!
Far from using a headache as an excuse to skip
sex, researchers at the University of Munster,
Germany , have concluded that sex can actually
provide relief for migraine and cluster
headache sufferers .
The scientists say when you have sex, it
triggers the release of endorphins , the body ’ s
natural painkillers , via the central nervous
system , which will consequently reduce, or
even eliminate , a headache .
Their research , reported in the journal of the
International Headache Society , Cephalalgia ,
found that more than half of migraine sufferers
who had sex during an episode experienced an
improvement in symptoms .
One in five patients left without any pain at all ,
while others , in particular male sufferers ,
“ even used sexual activity as a therapeutic
tool ” , they added .
The scientists note that the majority of patients
with migraine or cluster headache do not have
sexual activity during headache attacks , hence
their ignorance about the healing power of sex.
“ Our data suggest that sexual activity can lead
to partial or complete relief of headache in
some migraine and a few cluster headache
patients .
“ Our results show that sexual activity during a
migraine attack might relieve or even stop an
attack in some cases, and that sexual activity in
the presence of headache is not an unusual
behaviour . ”
They added : “ Sex can abort migraine and
cluster headache attacks , and sexual activity is
used by some patients as acute headache
treatment . ”
In their research , entitled “ The impact of sexual
activity on idiopathic headaches : An
observational study , ” the team of neurologists
investigated whether sex can trigger headaches .
They also wanted to establish whether there
was any substance to anecdotal suggestions
that it could actually ease symptoms of
migraine and cluster , also known as one - sided,
headaches .
So , next time you feel a headache coming on ,
skip the painkillers and reach for your sweetie
instead .

The Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs
Service , Col. Hameed Ali (retd . ) , has dropped
his earlier plan not to honour the summons of
the Senate .
A reliable source close to the leadership of the
Senate told one of our correspondents on
Tuesday that Ali was advised to honour the
Senate invitation in order to avert a clash
between the Legislature and the Executive .
Ali had told the Senate , in a letter , that he
would not appear before the lawmakers on
Wednesday (today ) as his summons to the
chamber coincided with the routine
management meeting of the NCS .
The Customs boss requested the upper chamber
of the National Assembly to fix another date for
his appearance .
Ali ’ s letter , which was signed by an Assistant
Comptroller General , Azarema Abdulkadir , was
read to lawmakers at the plenary on Tuesday .
The Senate had , on Thursday , asked the
Customs boss to appear before it “ unfailingly”
on Wednesday , stating that Ali would not be
admitted into the chamber if he failed to
appear in the uniform of the service showing
his rank as the DG .
A source told The PUNCH that the Customs boss
was advised by the Special Adviser to the
President on National Assembly Matters ,
Senate , Ita Enang, to meet with Senate
President Bukola Saraki ahead of his
appearance before the Senate on Wednesday
( today) .
On Tuesday evening , Ali arrived at the National
Assembly complex at 5 . 30 pm .
He first had a short meeting with the Majority
Leader , Senator Ahmad Lawan , before moving
to Saraki ’ s office , where they had a closed- door
meeting .
Security operatives shielded the Customs boss
from journalists when he was approached for
comments after the meeting .
He left the National Assembly at 6 . 45 pm .
The letter was dated March 14 , 2017 , and was
delivered to Saraki after the plenary .
According to the source , the Customs DG
disregarded his first letter to the Senate , in
which he informed the Senate of his intention
not to appear before the lawmakers on
Wednesday .
“ He wrote a second letter after the Presidency’ s
intervention .
‘‘ There are more chances now that he will
answer the Senate ’ s summons tomorrow.
People are now seeking soft landing for him , ”
the source said .
Unlike the first letter which was signed by an
Assistant Comptroller General , Ali personally
signed the second letter .
In the second letter , the Customs DG made no
reference to the first letter .
The second letter read , “ May I respectfully
refer to your letter dated 9 March and inform
Your Excellency that the decision on payment
of Customs duties by vehicle owners , who do
not have them as prescribed by law , is
currently being reviewed . The goal of the
review is to take a broad additional input from
the stakeholders and the public. I will welcome
the opportunity to avail the Senate of our
findings.
“ Regarding the wearing of uniform , I wish to
advise that the Senate avails itself of the legal
basis of its decision to compel me to wear
uniform .
“ I am similarly taking legal advice on this issue
so that both the Senate and I will operate
within the proper legal framework . ”
Senators berate Ali over planned boycott of
invitation
Earlier on Tuesday , the Senate had insisted that
Ali , who had informed the lawmakers that he
would not be able to appear before them, must
show up before the legislators on Wednesday
( today) as requested .
The lawmakers , who took turns to condemn the
service for defying an order stopping it from
implementing its new duty on old vehicles,
resolved to “ invite the Comptroller General of
Customs to appear in plenary and in uniform . ”
Senate President Bukola Saraki , who presided
over the Tuesday plenary , directed the Clerk to
the Senate , to whom Ali ’ s letter was addressed ,
to read it to lawmakers at the session .
The letter titled ‘ Re :Invitation to brief the
Senate , ’ read , “ I am directed to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter ( with Reference
Number NASS /CS /8 S /R / 09 / 29 ) of 9 th March ,
2017 , on the above subject matter.
“ I am further directed to inform you that the
date given to the Comptroller General of the
Nigeria Customs Service – Wednesday , 15 th
March , 2017 – to brief the Senate in plenary on
the retrospective duty payment on vehicles in
Nigeria has coincided with the fortnight
meeting of the NCS management .
“ Consequently, the Comptroller General is
humbly requesting a new date from the
distinguished Senate .
“ As we await your favourable response , please
be assured of the highest regards and esteem of
the Comptroller General of Customs. ”
While the Majority Leader , Senator Ahmad
Lawan , pleaded for a soft landing for the
Customs boss , other lawmakers disagreed.
The aggrieved senators , who pointed out that
the Customs’ management was not superior to
the federal legislature, criticised Ali ’ s failure to
personally sign the letter .
Lawan stated , “ First , the excuse for not
appearing tomorrow is because it coincided
with routine fortnightly meeting of the
management of the Nigeria Customs Service .
My opinion is that that does not take
precedence over the invitation by the Senate .
“ Second , the letter was signed by someone else ,
not the CG . My opinion is : a letter coming to the
Senate from the Customs, especially when an
invitation was written to the Customs CG to
appear here ; he should have taken personal
interest in writing and signing it ; that would
have given my judgment some sense of respect
for the institution , not for us . ”
Lawan , while pleading that the lawmakers
postpone Ali ’ s appearance to Thursday, hinted
that the part of the grievances against the
postponement was that the Senate plenary
would be aired live on Wednesday .
The Majority Leader said , “ Mr . President ,
distinguished colleagues , I feel slighted and I
am sure everybody feels the same . However , let
me add that this Senate should , if possible,
oblige the request for the extension, to show
that we are different . “ Let’ s take him on
Thursday, if he is saying he can ’ t be available
tomorrow. Two wrongs will not make a right. I
know we feel hurt but distinguished colleagues ,
whether it is live coverage or not, Nigerians
have interest in this and Nigerians will like to
listen to the responses and explanations of the
CG of Customs. ”
In his submission , Senator James Manager ,
described the Senate as an institution built over
the years.
“ The integrity of this Senate is being tested .
When letters like this are coming from
executive bodies , the Senate must take a very
firm stand .
“ I disagree with my leader , Senator Ahmad
Lawan , with the greatest possible respect . If the
CG had written ( the letter and it ) was signed by
him and , then , going further , if he had
established personal contact with the President
of the Senate through the Chairman of the
Senate Committee on Customs , then , that would
have been understandable.
“ But, the man asked somebody else to sign this
letter to the Senate of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria . This is very significant .
“ This is an arm of government . Although the
House of Representatives is there, this is the
highest lawmaking body of this country and
somebody like the CG ( will be ) writing a letter
signed by somebody else, saying ‘ I am directed ’
to the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria .
Certainly , this is not a matter of two wrongs not
making a right .
“ The Comptroller General of Customs must
appear tomorrow. ”
Saraki , after asking if there was any lawmaker
against what Lawan and Manager said , and
none differed , stated that Ali must appear in
uniform before the lawmakers on Wednesday
as earlier requested by the legislature .
He said , “ I don ’ t think there is the need for us
to prolong this issue and the position of the
Senate is clear: he should appear tomorrow as
directed and in uniform as in the earlier
resolution . And we are waiting to see him here
tomorrow by 10 . 30 am. ”
After the plenary , the Chairman , Senate
Committee on Media and Public Affairs , Senator
Sabi Abdullahi , while briefing journalists ,
however , described the reason cited by Ali for
his impending non - appearance as an insult to
the Senate .

The Independent Corrupt Practices and other
related Offences Commission has seized 220
flats , located in 20 estates , allegedly belonging
to one Sanusi Mohammed , a former aide to ex -
Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State .
It was learnt that 165 rounds of ammunition , a
pump action rifle and other weapons were
found in some of Mohammed ’ s properties
located at GRA , Bauchi .
A source in Bauchi told one of ourcorrespondents that the ICPC made thediscovery following a tip - off by a whistle -blower .
He said , “ About 10 days ago , we received a tip -
off from a whistle - blower about the lifestyle of
one Sanusi Mohammed , a former aide to
former Bauchi Governor , Isa Yuguda .
“ We traced 220 flats in 20 estates to him . The
houses range from two- bedroom to three -
bedroom flats. Inside some of the properties ,
we discovered four sophisticated guns with 165
rounds of ammunition , five exotic cars and 15
new air conditioners. “ We believe the air
conditioners were donated to the Bauchi State
Government by China .
“ We also recovered some cash as well as 25
designer watches and 20 bales of brocade . ”
It was learnt that Mohammed was arrested by
the ICPC and quizzed but was later released on
administrative bail .
One of our correspondents visited the residence
of Mohammed , a former Senior Special Adviser
on Special Duties to Yuguda , twice but was told
he was not at home . He was told that the ex -
special adviser said he would call him but had
yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.
When contacted on the telephone , the
spokesperson for the ICPC , Mrs. Rasheedat
Okoduwa, said she could not speak on the
matter.
She said,“ According to the ICPC Act , we are not
allowed to divulge details of investigation . I
cannot deny or confirm any story . In any case ,
anyone who is under investigation is presumed
innocent until proved otherwise . ”
The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission , which is also investigating
Yuguda , had sealed his multi - million naira
mansion at Sir Kashim Ibrahim Street , GRA ,
Bauchi .
A committee set up by the current Bauchi State
Government to carry out forensic audit of all
major contracts awarded by the past
administration from June 2007 to May 2015 in
the Bauchi State Universal Basic Education
Board , Ministry of Local Government Affairs ,
Bauchi Specialist Hospitals , Ministries ,
Departments and Agencies, had , in January,
asked Yuguda to account for over N212 bn
expended by his administration within the
period under review.
Over N100bn was alleged to have been
mismanaged by permanent secretaries ,
commissioners and aides to the former
governor .
Yuguda appointed 20 Special Advisers , 94
Senior Special Assistants and 810 Special
Assistants .

No knowledge is a waste and everyday presents something somewhat new. I want to use this medium to present this piece as my official introduction and entry,although I have posted a piece in the sports section as a teaser. I have been following Nairaland for over five years but always met Goliath when ever i try logging in but with the help of a fellow Nairalander, my phobia was quenched, my scare assuaged. I am elated being a member now,please I plead with the mods to do the needful for we are one big family so I have come to realized. Thanks a bunch and pardon the long sermon but necessity forced my hands. To the post now......

Love is universal but romance takes an array of astonishing forms around the world. The below list uncovers some of the worlds most fascinating love and marriage customs from sweet merriment to utter disdain and outright ridicule. shall we?

1: ROMANCE WRITTEN IN A CHICKEN LIVER: we have heard of cutting the cake, but cutting the chicken? that's strange but not to the people of Daur in China who have a tradition for couples. They are to dissect and Inspect it's liver (veterinary doctors sort of) If the liver is in a healthy shape,this is seen as a good omen and a date is fixed. If not the couple must keep searching for that prophetic yet healthy liver.

2: STEP INSIDE A COURTING HUT: some African tribes provide their daughters with "courting hut" to entertain potential suitors away from the gaze of the parents. In Cambodia, unmarried girls are encouraged to use these huts to EXPLORE multiple PARTNERS, both socially and SEXUALLY,all in a quest to find that true love. imagine this in Nigeria (Vaseline crew)

3: WHALES TOOTH GIFT: In Fiji, it's common practice when asking for a woman's hand in marriage to present to your soon to be father-in-law a TABUA (whales tooth). it's considered not real love until you take a dive into the ocean in search of one.

4: TEARS OF JOY IN CHINA: Its definitely accepted to get a little teary at the wedding but a whole month before might be an overkill. However, for China's Tujia people it's customary for the bride-to-be to begin weeping for an hour everyday before the day of the wedding. Sometimes after, her mother joins in and other women of the family eventually join as a sign of joy. Absurd isn't it?

5: LADIES CHOICE IN NIGER: In an annual courtship event, the men of the wodaabe fula in Niger dress up in elaborate costume,put on make up,sing and dance during the Gerewol festival, this is in a bid to win a bride at the end of the event.The women get to choose who they find best.

6: WHITE DAY IN JAPAN: On valentines day in Japan,it's the women who buy chocolates for the men. But fear not ladies for one month from this time,during the white day, the men splash gifts twice more expensive to what the women gave them during the valentines day.

7: BIGGER THE BETTER: You can forget to loose weight as it is in other climes,because in Mauritania the bigger the better..This signifies wealth that a man provide in excess for his family. The downside is,girls are in some families forced to feed their daughters while others suffer long term health issues caused by obesity. Fat ladies in the building more clarity on this will be appreciated. na joke o

8: LOVE SPOON IN WALES: Here the man presents his lover with a meticulously carved wooden spoon as a feature that he will feed her and provide for her. But if the spoon is returned, the affection is not mutual but if successful, the woman MUST wear the SPOON around her neck for a number of days.

the senior prefects are mean o..why are they sending away the other students but holding the hands of Adesanya? and those canes though

PERSONAL HISTORY AND CAREER
Pierluigi Collina was born in Bologna in 1960 and attended the university of Bologna, graduating with a degree in Economics in 1984. During his teenage years, he played as a central defender for a local team but was persuaded in 1977 to take a referee's course, where it was discovered that he had an aptitude for the job. He progressed rather rapidly through Serie C1 & C2, and after three seasons he was promoted to officiating Serie B & A respectively.
At this time of his career, he contracted a severe form of Alopecia, which caused him the permanent loss of his facial hair, giving him his distinctive bald appearance and earning the nickname Kojak. He is considered as the best referee of all time.
