SportsMeet The Professor Who Won An Online Sporting Bet Of #58milion With Just #800. by Evathyst(op): 10:00pm On Aug 31, 2015
Professor Godwin Ighalo...winner of biggest sports betting haul

History was made last weekend, as a Professor of Computer Engineering at the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, Godwin Ighalo became the proud winner of N58,945,553.00 The sum was undoubtedly the biggest payout in the annals of sports betting in Nigeria and Africa.

The sexagenarian accomplished the feat after placing bets on two different bet slips of different amounts (N500 and N300).

On the N500 ticket, the dark skinned don won N36,840,971.25, while the N300 slip won him N22,104,582.75.

He praised I960BET for their honesty and commitment to their customers, “1960BET have just demonstrated they are the numero uno in terms of sports betting in Nigeria by what they did today.

“I trusted that the company will pay if I win. I have tried in the past without winning and always believe that one day luck will shine on me.

”I can confirm to other stakers out there that 1960Bet is the best sports betting company we have in Nigeria today. Immediately I arrived at their office, they called me in and the money was paid into my account.

“There were a lot of people out there who expressed doubts as to whether they will be able to pay the money, but 1960Bet have demonstrated they are a reliable sports betting company with this prompt payment,”.

On how he was able to achieve the feat, Professor Ighalo said his strong interests in probability, relationships and special intelligence since his childhood days played a key role.

“Since my childhood days, I used to have strong interests in probability, relationships and special intelligence. All these with adequate sports betting research I conducted over the years, helped in making it possible.”

The Managing Director of 1960BET, Mr Dotun Ajegbile said his company by the prompt payment of the winnings have further enhanced their position as the most consistent and reliable brand in the country.

“Now it is clear that 1960BET is the most consistent, the largest and most reliable brand, having paid more winnings in the history of Sports Betting in Nigeria, and in actual fact, 1960BET has been paying since 2010.

“This latest development further proved our WINNERS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME approach especially as we have made it top priority in the new season to honour all transactions, online and retail whilst guaranteeing the best odds at all times and undiluted gaming excitement in all our shops.”

He further said, “The maximum winnings on a single ticket is N40 million and this shows that with only 3 gaming weeks gone into the current season, genuinely interesting times lie ahead for agents and punters alike and the company is well positioned for the challenges and the success the season promises.”

Sir, just as my friend (Visiting Prof) used to say 'A spade should never be called a spatulous object for abrading the surface of the earth, it should simply be called what it is; a spade'. That you claimed to be a teacher of a particular subject and you can't teach a certain topic in that subject (even if it's the peripheral of it) is the height of 'falling hand'. I hope you know what that means in the 'local context?' wink


Although, no one is an island of knowledge. But truth is you should have attempted that topic even if it means you'll blab or even gaffe. At least, you attempted it. But saying you weren't prepared to teach something that is different from what you 'packaged' from home is disparaging to say the least. angry



But guess what, it's a good thing it happened this way. Else, you wouldn't have known there are ways employers catch applicants unawares. Seriously, it has happened to me before.

They both look very young but the mother is 42 and the daughter is just 19. Checkout the photos. There is a striking resembalance between 42-year old Georgie Smedley and 19-year old daughter, Jazz, making it difficult to tell them apart.
The mum and daughter say people mistake them for sisters which the mother says she takes as a huge compliment. They have same fiery hair, nearly same height, weight, and shoe size – as well as sounding alike.

PoliticsJune 12 1993: How The Late Ooni Betrayed MKO. by Evathyst(op): 9:38am On Aug 17, 2015
I just came across this interesting peice and I decided to share. Although it's a long peice, but it's surely a mind-boggling one. Enjoy!



The Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade’s role in the aftermath of the annulment of the 1993 presidential election is widely thought to have
been less than noble. In Awujale, the recently released autobiography of Oba Sikiru Adetona, the Awujale of Ijebuland, Sijuade’s connivance
with those who annulled the election is brought into sharp focus His position as the most revered traditional ruler in Yorubaland has not innoculated Oba Okunade Sijuade Olubuse 11, the Ooni of Ife,
from public scorn. Since 1993, much of the mystique around him has been eroded, largely through the carnage sparked by the controversial
annulment of the 1993 presidential election, aka June 12.

Oba Sijuade came out of the annulment saga with grave reputation injuries from which he is yet to, and may not, recover, given the decision of Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, the Awujale of Ijebuland, to re-invite public attention to Sijuwade’s role in one of the most grotesque episodes in Yoruba and Nigerian history.

The medium chosen by Oba Adetona is Awujale, his recently released autobiography, in which the 11th chapter is dedicated to the annulment and the struggle for the de-annulment of the election won by the late Chief M.K.O Abiola.

In Awujale, Adetona presents what can hardly be described as a worm’s eye view. And in the book, the Ooni does not come out smelling like roses. As one of the most prominent Yoruba traditional
rulers, Adetona was regularly invited to meetings with General Ibrahim Babangida, the military president that annulled the election and installed an Interim National Government, ING, headed by Chief Ernest Shonekan.

As the widespread anger provoked by the annulment and Babangida’s ING contraption raged, the former military president hoped to limit the damage to his reputation and that of his
government, appealing to leaders from all the country’s geo-political zones, especially the South-West, which felt wounded because of
Abiola.

For one of those meetings in Abuja, writes Adetona in Awujale, he arrived on a Thursday. The meeting was to hold the next day. While
in his hotel room on the day of arrival, Adetona called the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, to say that there was a need for a meeting
of Yoruba traditional rulers, where they could arrive at a common position to be presented at the next day’s meeting with Babangida.

Adeyemi agreed. Adetona then suggested that there was also a need to inform the Ooni and asked Adeyemi to accompany him to Sijuwade’s room.

Adeyemi, however, was not keen because of the rivalry, over superiority, between him and the Ooni. Eventually, he gave in. The late Oba Adeyinka Oyekan, Oba of Lagos, was also informed. He
agreed that a meeting was required, but refused to accompany them to the Ooni’s suite. However, he said he would support whatever
position the meeting adopted.

In the Ooni’s suite, Adetona and Adeyemi met the Ife monarch dining with Alhaji Ado Bayero, Emir of Kano. Another Yoruba monarch, Oba Frederick Aroloye, the Owa of Idanre, writes Adetona, sat in a corner.

When the two dining monarchs finished their meals, they went into the Ooni’s room for a discussion, after which the Ooni came out to
meet Adetona and Adeyemi.

“When we told the Ooni the purpose of our meeting, he said he had met the Northern Emirs. Their position was the same as ours. We asked how and he said that they wanted a fresh meeting to be called of the Council of State along with us. The Council of State, as enshrined in the constitution, has powers to advise the President,”
Adetona writes.

But what the Northern traditional rulers wanted was not exactly what the Yoruba monarchs wanted.

“Our mandate from the Yorubas was that the election had been concluded and our son was clearly the winner. So, all we wanted was
that they should just simply release the results,” the author explains.

Adetona then insisted that if a Council of State meeting was to be called, it should be for the purpose of ensuring that the election was
de-annulled and the wish of the people respected. The Ooni agreed.

But the Alaafin, writes Adetona, said there was no need for another meeting because the key members of the Council had already expressed their opposition to the annulment.

When Adetona and the Alaafin left the Ooni, they went to discuss seating arrangements for the next day’s meeting with the other Yoruba traditional rulers. Apparently suspicious that the Ooni could
switch positions, the monarchs agreed that they would sit in a way that would ensure that the Ife monarch was hemmed between two of them “so as to forestall any wavering of position.”

The planned sitting arrangement was foiled. As the traditional rulers walked into the venue of the meeting, they found seats that bore each
attendee’s name. Babangida came in, explained the position of the government and sought reactions from his audience. The first came
from Ibrahim Dasuki, then Sultan of Sokoto, who said very little apart from accusing the government of using traditional rulers to quell
crises brought upon the nation by the government itself.

He suggested that Babangida should invite members of the Council of State to join the traditional rulers in the discussion of the
annulment. The Ooni was the next to speak and presented the position of the Yoruba obas: declaration of Abiola as the winner.

It was something the meeting had not expected. “You could have heard a pin drop,” writes Adetona. Next was Bayero, who expressed no opposition to what the Ooni said, but called for a fresh Council of state meeting. After him spoke the Oba of Benin, who condemned the annulment and rejected calls for a Council of State meeting.

The natural rulers continued turning the heat on Babangida. According to Adetona, Gbong Gwon Jos, the late Chief Fom Bot, told the meeting that he could not return to his domain if Babangida did
not to de-annul the election, as his subjects had demanded, and asked the former president to find accommodation for him in Abuja.

A traditional ruler from the South-East, Adetona writes, was more dramatic, telling Babangida to quit as president. “Please go. Please go,” he shouted.

Then Babangida cut in, explaining that the decision to annul or de-annul was not solely his, but that of the military heirachy. He kept on
calling on others to speak, but the obas observed that he was calling only people who sat to his right. The obas sat to his left. This drew
a protest from the Alaafin, who Babangida was forced to ask to speak.

The Oyo monarch insisted that another Council of State meeting was needless because the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, a member, was out of
the country, while some other key members had expressed their disapproval of the annulment in the media. Other traditional rulers told Babangida that he should save the country from a huge crisis by respecting the wishes of Nigerians.

Then, Babangida attempted one more throw of the dice. In a somewhat emotional tone, he told the meeting how close he and Abiola were. His government, he added, had paid Abiola hefty debts owed him by previous regimes. The sum, Babangida said, was about $600million. The scent of money scrambled a particular royal head–
the Ooni’s.

“When he heard this piece of information, the Ooni became angry and said something to the effect that if Babangida paid him (Ooni) that much, he would be living on the Island of Capri in Italy,” Adetona writes.

Sijuade then got up to go to the toilet. Adetona followed, spewing criticisms at his fellow oba for going against what the Yoruba traditional rulers had agreed on. After the meeting, watched by Uche Chukwumerije, Information Secretary in the Interim National Government, the Ooni told journalists that he was in support of Babangida’s position that a fresh election should be held and that the obas should return to their domains and tell their people to prepare for the election.

Adetona thought he had not heard Ooni right. “To assure myself that what I heard was true, I invited one of the reporters, who was there when the Ooni was speaking to my room. This was a reporter from The Nigerian Tribune. Fortunately, the Alaafin was with me when the reporter played the tape for us. We were stunned,” the Awujale writes.
From his hotel room, the Ooni called Adetona on the intercom and announced gleefully that he had told the world (through the media) of the Yoruba position. Adetona replied that he was not sure that
Sijuwade’s claim was correct. Adetona, accompanied by the Alaafin and the reporter, went over to Sijuade’s room. The Ooni repeated his
claim that he presented the Yoruba position to the press.

He was instantly put to shame, when the reporter was asked to play his tape, which contained the opposite of Ooni’s claim. Adetona and the Alaafin then pressured Ooni into granting another interview, restating the position of the Yoruba. He did and the reporter was asked to take the interview to media houses for publication the next
day. The interview was published by newspapers the next day, but Chukwumerije had caused the first interview to be used on the network news of the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA.

In the book, the Awujale was unsparing in his attack on former Nigerian leader, Olusegun Obasanjo. He described him as a Judas, “who would betray his people,” who lacks credibility and squandered “the enormous goodwill,” which he carried into office “with a performance that left him with a second term short of tangible achievements.”

Oba Adetona recalled an event on 24 July 2002, the late Abraham Adesanya’s 80th birthday in Ijebu-Igbo, Ogun State, when in a ride with Obasanjo to a makeshift helipad he told Obasanjo how disappointed he had become over Obasanjo’s pussy-footing on the issue of federalism. “This was the dividing line for me in our relationship,” Awujale recalled and Adesanya’s birthday presented an opportunity for him to tell
Obasanjo how he felt about him, when they rode together in a Mercedes Benz limousine, with former Ogun governor, Olusegun Osoba, as witness.

“It was going to be a short trip but I had
something to say and so it had to be said quickly enough while the three of us shared some privacy. I said there was a time when I had trusted Obasanjo so much so that I could swear by his name, but that the trust was now gone. Obasanjo asked why. I answered that Obasanjo was no longer credible.” The Oba recalled further in the
book, that at another time when he visited Obasanjo in Aso Rock, Obasanjo revisited their earlier conversation during which he told the
Awujale, accusatorily, that he painted him a Judas. Awujale reconfirmed the labeling according to his account.

“I told him that I not only remembered but still maintained that he was a Judas who would betray his people…I had no qualms about speaking plainly to him. In high office, people who surround leaders tend to skirt around the truth,” Awujale wrote.

The Awujale was clearly not impressed by Obasanjo’s tenure as nigeria’s leader. ‘‘Eight years in office was ample time to put electricity on a very strong footing. Eight years was enough to put

PhonesRe: Ten(10) Applications You Must Have On Your Android Smartphone by Evathyst(f):
At OP, nice list except some few apps which I don't agree with. As for antivirus, I prefer NQ mobile. It's secure, doesn't consume battery, easy to update, and has other cool features like data counter, anti-eavesdropping, etc.


Also, you didn't include apps like Aldiko premium(for reading novels), Moonreader which is my best app(for reading all formation s of book). Even in terms of audio player, I prefer Ttpod. Damn! It rocks!


In all, you've got a nice list up there! God bless android users, na we gan be the smart people wey dey use smart phone.
