Not gagging their right to freedom of expression

I was dumbfounded when I stumbled on the interview where the Gambari goro addict unequivocally declared his intention to run for Katsina governorship election.

Though that appears to be his saving grace because there's already an online Poll to oust the super clueless thing

Good information...
We expect the anti-corruption ceaser to start manning the filling stations instead of junketing around the globe like a lost traveller.

If corruption is worth fighting then its worth fighting to the finish..
Its not all about going against political enemies

Expect more mountainous heaps in strategic location in the whole of South west owing to the government inability to pay waste management workers.

That's what you get when the state governor's daughter starts buying dress worth millions of naira at the expense of workers salary

How I wish there is a provision in the constitution that enables swapping the president.

This man bores all the qualities of a good president both academically and otherwise.

Being in the ruling party does not also mean sheer YES BOSS attitude of some misguided Yorubas

Everybody now sees Buhari as a religion fanatic....
The poor mallam said HE MAY CONSIDER BANNING HIJAB and some bamboozled went wild in support as if Buhari that faulted the initial crackdown on bokoharm on the premise of being abiti-islam will ever contemplate banning the Islamic veil.

Religion has really destroyed our sense of reasoning otherwise Buhari ought to have banned the damnable bomb-concealing veil without giving it a second thought

Prophet Muhammad(place bomb on him) was an inglorious fortune hunter that married a 45 year old widow just to inherit her wealth.... this is what my own religion taught me.

You guys are just quite silly and problematic.
you concoct all sort of rubbish and still say it loud for others to hear but when same is said about your decayed prophet, you all go bananas

No need inviting EFCC...
Shey he belongs to the street, OPC should be invited asap

I thought they said they have defeated bokoharm.... SMH.

bokoharm are even the one on the offensive while the docile and incompetent human right violaters called Soldiers are on defense.

The imbecilic APC followers have all forgotten the promise made by their kindergarten-trained Buhari to lead insurgency war from the front.

So an attack against bokoharm is no longer an attack against the north

Hope the ritual Olamide don't go bananas on seeing this

Iran should act fast and mete out whatever treatment they have in store for the inglorious bastard called buhari..

I dnt mind taking them to buhari's hometown Daura to kickstart their destruction.
Imagine the silly old gay with hair-ravaged anus acting like he has the most powerful armed forces in the whole world.

Coming from a Fulani man, I dnt have much qualm

Had this emanated from a brown roof inhabitant, I would have been worried over the security of the visited location.
Those guys are pathological liars and haters that can even plant IED and blame it on IPOB.

Olamide's naughty tantrums at the headies award underscored their inherent hating tendencies.
But the worst he can do is to replicate what Awo and MKO did...20# rat killer

Please any link to the online voting?...Me and my family need to start voting so as to send the drunken Daura mallam to jail.
Its our civic responsibility to oust this despotic and undemocratic gambari traveller.

The villagers should stand firm and stop you guys from selling those lands.
You guys were unable to raise money either by selling the said lands to take care of the sick man when he was alive.

Now he has died you guys emerged from nowhere and decides to sell his lands...thats pure wickedness

You can actually lay the dead body to rest without having a lavish funeral ceremony...what if there were no lands wouldn't you have sourced for burial funds elsewhere?

Animals..can they contend with Tompolo using those medieval era warships

Can any good thing come out of Daura town?..

Some haters will soon surface and remind us on how land-locked igbo land is.
Igbos are rapidly developing without the proverbial oil money while Osun can no longer afford xmass decoration cos of oil price fall

Nigeria has been declared a zoo by Buhari and his bamboozled followers.

In sane countries, Buhari's outburst/interference with the judiciary is an ample reason to strike out the case of kanu and dasuki.

Why try them in the court when you are convinced they indeed commited said offence?

I pray buhari disobeys more court rules so we can enjoy the ensuing anachy .
Who knows buhari's actions/inactions will fasten the disintegration of this damnable zoo republic

The dull Daura man is in a mental dungeon. Though i dnt pity his hairy ass

If he retains subsidy,our economy will further slide and we may be heading the way of Greece.

If he removes subsidy nko.,hehehe
we we must OCCUPY NIGERIA and shake the country in protest.
Flavour shud start composing a new subsidy song

This Daura dweller will surely shoot himself at the foot...
This man really needs some education on seperation of power.

Though anything that will pitch Nigerians against the illiterate gworo addict is a welcomed development

Perfect analysis that really placed the westerners in their deserved echelon.

Only a sophisticated fat frog will sit and mope while a man of MKO caliber get strangulated in detention for fighting for his mandate.

As if that was not enough, the fat frogs sat and watched with hands akimbo while MKO got his wife violently raped and strangulated under the public glare

I want the damnable hijab banned.

Just to set the gambari dullard against his muslim followers.
I hate buhari so much that i dnt mind paying for a rope with my last card for him to use and hang himself

Buhari has dug his grave already...lets all sit and watch the court convict kanu based on these flimsy and lame charges

Amidst the agitation for an independent state of Biafra championed by some Igbo people in the eastern part of the country, another group, Biafra Liberation In Exile (BILIE) has sprung up.

Today reports that the separatist group which tagged itself as a human rights initiative has been engaging in closed door meetings prior to its first public outing.

The group on its website said “the organization per se is registered in Europe and also registered as an NGO in the category of Indigenous Peoples Organization (IPO) under the United Nations. It has its Human Rights Arm known as BILIE HUMAN RIGHT INITIATIVE which is registered in Nigeria.”

The group joins the rank of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) who have been championing the cause for an independent Biafra state.

The arrest and continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra has escalated the protest which has spread from the south eastern states to the southern part of the country.

In the wake of the numerous protests, some of which has turned violence, the Nigerian army warned protesters not to cross the red line as military personnel were ready for battle.

Barr. Pedro Azuogu who is the legal officer of BILIE said in an interview in Umuahia, Abia that the group was the only legal entity in the country registered with the United Nations (UN) as an IPO.

He said: “It is also an incorporated Trustee by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) Abuja, for the purpose of protecting, defending and advocating for the rights of Indigenous People of Bifra and all other Indigenous Peoples and Nationalities within Nigeria whose rights and freedom are violated by the Nigerian Government, contrary to the UN Charter on human rights and the African Charter on Human Peoples Rights.”

It was a dream come true for Shedrack (not real name) when he was shortlisted in the final list of the players that will represent Nigeria at the 2015 edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

The team had been training hard in the quest to retain the trophy which was later won by Nigeria.

Unknown to him, he will be abandoned later by the officials.

After he suffered playing on grass-less pitches without pay and sometime had to beg his poor parents to spend money to treat his injuries as an amateur in his village.


He quickly put a call across to his parents in the south eastern part of Nigeria to share the great news: “I am going to World Cup, my life is going to change,” he said.

“It was a dream come true for me after watching top Nigerian players succeed, I also watch the last U-17 when they lifted the trophy and never knew it will soon be my turn, when I saw my name I quickly put a call across to my parents in the east to share the news,” he told naij.com.

The U-17 FIFA World Cup

The U-17 FIFA World Cup is played every two years, Nigeria is the current champion after retaining the trophy which was won in 2013. The Emmanuel Amunike led squad also won the most valuable player and the golden boot of the just-concluded tournament which was held in Chile.

Nigeria has won the tournament for the fifth time and once, back to back.

One of the 2013 winning squad member, Kelechi Iheanacho currently plays for Manchester City and has been invited to the Super Eagles by the head coach, Sunday Oliseh.
A member of the 2015 squad, Victor Osimhen has almost sealed the deal with Tottenham Hotspur, a club in the EPL.
Nigeria won four individual categories: Victor Osimhen won the golden boot and the silver ball, while Kelechi Nwakali won the golden ball and the bronze boot.
The players lamentation

When naij.com investigated the monies owed, a team source revealed that each player is owed N1.5 million (almost USD8,000) and a total of 21 players were taken to the tournament. The NFF has run into a debt that is almost thirty-two million naira, N31,800,000 equivalent to USD160,000.
Some of the players who spoke to naij.com said that they have not been paid a dime, all they got were promises from the NFF and up till now they are yet to fulfill their promises. They only got N35,000 ($175) for their efforts at the world cup:
“They asked us to manage 35,000 and use it to transport ourselves back home, we have not been paid a dime after all our efforts after all we are world champions is this how to treat a world champion, this is so unfair,” a player said under anonymity for fear of stigmatization.

Shedrach continued by saying that all hopes to give money to his parents on his arrival has gone down the drain as he is so broke and had to change his number because people started calling to ask for money from them hoping he had come back with millions:
“Imagine this, I have a new line right now people have been calling to ask me for money and I don’t have and they thought I am lying to them that we have not been paid. The NFF should encourage us now, as we saw them in Chile how they live large and some went shopping but we don’t have any money here, they are users.

“Let me tell you more, we were only given a pair of jersey, they don’t have jersey, during training before we traveled we have to buy USED Nike clothes with our own money to train they didn’t give us training kits they said they don’t have training kits, we are not happy about this.
“Let me surprise you more we also lied to other teams, each time after the matches whenever they reach out to exchange jerseys we couldn’t give them, we only say to them we are coming to run away or ignore them because we only have a pair each, it was not an easy task for us, but we won on empty stomach, this is modern slavery.”
