Babysho:
I can't sleep... I need Mommy and Daddy to tell me bedtime stories...


By the way,...I've neva seen a Nigerian child being told a bedtime story before...is it a Taboo?

i am sorry to say that u are indomie generation because our parent used to tell us stories just that parent of now adays are after money

Honestly to those who follow the league like i do i can conviniently say oboabona and efe have no business in that team when oboaropko and orji kalu is there. Adi and aaron samuel are just a waste of space when osas okoro and prince aggeh are there. We should Stop this inferiority complex joor

A member of the technical crew of the Super Eagles has revealed to
owngoalnigeria.com that the coaches lament dropping some home base players for
the duo of Aaron Samuel and Fanendo Adi.
Owngoalnigeria.com sort to know why Adi and Samuel didn’t make the match day
squad for the back to back games against Egypt and the coach speaking on the
condition of anonymity said it was down to poor form.
“Aaron Samuel and Fanendo Adi did nothing spectacular in training to warrant a spot
in the team, they were off the pace as a matter of fact even the basic drills we did for
strikers they were the worst” He told owngoalnigeria.com
“If we had known we would have kept some home based players like Osas Okoro who
did very well in camp and some few others instead of having foreign based players
who can’t break into the team, we strongly regret their inclusion”.
We can also confirm that during training sessions in Abuja and Kaduna Samuel looked
heavily overweight why Adi was very slow and doesn’t look quite fit or strong for the
demands of Africa football.

The agent of former Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi says Sunday Oliseh should be
blamed for Nigeria’s failure to qualify for AFCON 2017.
“We have to look at the bigger picture and tell ourselves the truth, we lost the AFCON
ticket in Tanzania not in Cairo, an experience coach will tell you not to fall behind so
early in a race, that we did under Oliseh by drawing in Tanzania” Emma Ado told
Owngoalnigeria.com.
“The game in Tanzania was ours to lose but we could only manage a draw no thanks
to poor tactics and poor selection that was when we fell two points behind and we
never recovered.
“In Kaduna we were playing catch-up, In Egypt we were trying to redeem our chances
now tell me which is harder, staying in touch with the leaders or playing catch up?”.
Ado is optimistic that this latest failure will spur Nigeria to greater height as it did in
2012 which was followed by lifting the title in 2013.
“It’s a wake up call that should put us in a position to do well in 2019 just like after
we missed out on the 2012 edition we recovered to win it in 2013, but first of all eyes
on the ball, World Cup 2018 qualifiers should be our priority now”. He concluded.

kenzysmith:

if truly u know her, tell us her name.

Freeze got it wrong. In as much as I love education, we must be careful about what we say.
During my time in oau in early 2000 the best graduating student (hamed Shittu) we a CGP of 4.97, and a record breaker in law who was the first law student to graduate with 1st class were celebrated. But my questions are
1. Where are these 1st class efficos now in the business world?
2.what have they contributed to make the world a better place e. g bill gate was not a 1st class material but he gave the world what to celebrate Microsoft. Dangote too is there and the list goes on.
3. Freeze should understand that what we learn in school is different from what we get in the business world. Olajumoke may have gotten the natural stuff needed to be a good model which those in the modelling field see a good tools in their field compare to a theater art graduate who acquired the certificate genuinely but doesn't have the skills. Who between the two would he had gone for?

Please brethren, I have some important question which has been bothering my mind for some time now.
But before my question let me explain why I have been worried.
When pastor bimbo odukoya was alive her ministry 'single and married' was the talk of the town but when she died, the ministry died with her.
Pastor idahosa in benin was the all in all in those days but when he died his ministry is still struggling to stand.
Pastor elijah ajanaku the pastor of the renowned gospel musician tope alabi died and I guess if the church is still what it was at ayobo area of lagos state. The list are endless
Now my question, what will happen to the sheep (we church members) when the Shepard (general overseer) dies? Doesn't it mean that we all be scattered like sheep without a Shepard? What happened to Christ promise that he will be with us till the end of time? Mathew 28:20 Does it mean that if a general overseer of church A dies his followers should go to church B and continue his heavenly race? What happened to the prayer of Christ when he said that they may be one. John 17:21-22. Just thinking though

Amberon:
you didn't hear me bring up the topic of my pastor here. No they are not and I have the same power as a christian as my pastor because that is the purpose for which Christ died : to restore the missing link between us and the father.

Now I ask, where is your "demi-god" in the bible?

Who is my demi God? You mean pope? Well I am not ashame to acknowledge that there is Christ successor on earth in the person of the Pope. Which I guess it's who you referred to semi God. You should have asked me our we pope became the successor of Christ unlike ur general overseer who don't have any link to Christ as his successor.

italo:
No. The key is passed on to Peter's successors, just like Judas' bishopric was taken by Mathias. Pope Francis is the 265th successor of St. Peter.

bro I was talking those born against.
Glory to Jesus...

CaroLyner:
jesus spoke to you abi you spoke to yourself.

but Jesus spoke to Saul, jeremaiah why can't he speak to him? Remember the way of the Lord is not our thinking.

ladyF:
Only Jesus saves!!! Give your life to Christ today and fear no witchcraft.

Greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world. Touch not God's anointed one - LadyF, else you incur the wrath of the Most High. Me I dey fear winch o.

It's [size=15pt]LadyF[/size] again

pray you don't encounter one cos if you do, u will never remember Bible verses. We just live by the Lord's grace

Amberon:
Lmao are this poor in reasoning?
Now where is your "demi-god" mentioned in the bible?

Where is your pastor and general overseer written in the Bible?

italo:
No. Neither did God tell me to feed his sheep. He told it to Peter alone and gave him the keys to the kingdom.

I know that this truth is painful to your heretical ears, but it's right in the bible.

so God has collected the key since Peter is dead. Abi? Confuse follower

Amberon:

their catholic god.

your pastor is GOD OF MEN

asalimpo:
Catholics! They so adore the pope.
Next to the pope is God!

pentecostal so adore their general overseer, next to the general overseer is his wife then no one

kennyman2000:
Hmmmmm.. This govt is as confused as confusion itself. Na different different story everyday
maybe they should take their activities abi na news away from the media for now. Make them no dey disturb our brains.

Check my signature for ur customised wristband

watin make dem confuse?

1. ....there are very many commentary on depreciation of ₦ nowadays expecially in parallel market, although parallel or black market can be manipulated by the traders, they either do it on their self interest, so those who doesn't beleive in the prosperity of nigeria can harbour $ as they can on imported goods hereby cause hike!
But in my own point of view the depreciation of ₦ is a great success to this nation if well manage to nigeria situation today. the looted fund is in $ and it must be refunded back in $, so if $1 is ₦198 when the money is looted, then if the money is refund today at $1 to ₦350 the nation has gained ₦152!
imagine if $1=₦1000, the gain is ₦902!
So in conclusion if the government managed to refund the $trillion looted and the refunded money, change it in parallel market, this will reduce the pressure on ₦ and the scarcity of $ in parallel market so the ₦=$.

(take note all the money took out of CBN during jonathan regime were changed in parallel market before ditributed)

you have other opinion?

2. ...2017 budget will beat record... ₦1 quadrillion!, all the social sectors will be substantially finance to trillions ₦, poverty will be completely eradicated and by the end of year 2018 Nigeria will be declared a developed state and classify one of the first three country in the index of human .
I know you will argue on how this can happen with the economics situation of today, low foreign reserve, low oil price, with depreciation of ₦.
yes oil price is down, foreign reserve is dry but we still have foreign looted fund reserve at hand! when recovered and well managed, it won't be problem to have money for this budget!
we can only pray that a $ hit ₦1000 and all $1 trillion looted recovered!
I know for sure that with the determination of this government and the support of foreign nation to help recovered all $ trillion looted it will happen.....$1 trillion recovered and change to ₦ will give us ₦1 quadrillion needed to financ that budget!
year 2017 bye bye to poverty!

3. ....OIL AND LFR
THE TWO MAIN MEANS OF INCOME FOR NIGERIA ECONOMY
.....with the determination of Nigeria president Buhari and the trust of of world leaders toward nigeria, from America, Eroupe, Asia and gulf nation the down price of oil and the rise in $ is not a corse to nigeria but a blessing.
Among the oil producing countries, and OPEC only nigeria have what other didn't, we have oil in common but nigeria have the looters as well, this opportunity raise nigeria above other oil nation and when all this country are frustrated with oil down price, nigeria have turn to her looted fund reserved to keep her economy running.
Nigeria is bless with oil and (LFR) looted fund reserve, when the oil price is down, the rise-up of dollar $ hike the value of our LFR, if government inject the LFR recovered on the economy, it will boot our economy!
at rate of $ to ₦ today if government managed to recovered $1 trillion LFR it will give us:

$1=₦400, $1trillion=₦400trillion!
I hereby challenge the Nigeria economists who insist that rising $ and downwards of oil price is a broke to nigeria economy to come-up for debate!
Note (LFR is looted fund reserve)

oga is that what you know about economics?
If naira depreciates do you think prices of goods and services will remain the same? What happens to salary and pension earners whose income are fixed? How will they cope with the inflated prices?
What about employment? I beg go and know your economics very well before you call for a debate
