As much as I know neither obasanjo nor GEJ showed up for live debate with other candidates during the time they were in power .

So no be today ....

This is not swag ....the elderly man is only protecting himself from the biting cold . If you know u know

Hahahaha

What was FFK doing before becoming a minister. Governance and government appointments in Nigeria is just for self enrichment.
They should be ashamed of themselves for all these unexplainable wealth .
Unless we reduce pay packages of government officials , we would continue going round the same cycle of poverty. Our leaders are selfish human beings

Hmmmmn ! Make we just keep quiet as usual na dem dem ! why why why na only u !

Instead of duly giving Nigeria their deserved praise for beating Iceland and giving themselves a shot at qualification, most foreign media outlets decided to make the super eagles victory all about Argentina.
Headlines like " musa shines to give Argentina hope" are on every foreign sports tabloid as opposed to "musa shines to give Nigeria hope".
That's how the commentator during Croatia vs Argentina kept assuming that Iceland would beat Nigeria.

Don't mind them , God pass them . They don't expect any good from us , that's why it always pain me when I see Nigerians talking rubbish about ourselves outside , Buhari inclusive.

Na wa ooo , international media no even reckon with Nigeria . imagine Garry Lineker saying on BBC that " if Iceland beats Nigeria tomorrow " Na wa ooooo

All our players are good only if they can play with their hearts . The own goal that Etebo caused made him to put all efforts towards getting an equaliser .

Hi guys I stumbled on this video showing Chief MKO Abiola singing .

Kindly enjoy it for your weekend pleasure

pol23:
APC PDP ADC....let's leave party now.
Let's be real here.
What has Abiola done to deserve this?
Have you heard about ITT?
Abiola is just a thief like Buhari, VGObasanjo and the likes of them.
Hypocrisy is when APC Sue GEJ for honoring MKO with Unilag and jump up when Buhari declare another day as the democracy day.
Same thing APC did when GEJ removed subsidy..occupy Nigeria,they're feeding people at the stadium ,bring various artist...and when buhari did...nobody said a thing...not even the NLC.
Back to the matter...Abiola is a man that died for his selfish Ambition...as a matter of fact what I loose when that Man died can never be quantify..it's way too much...
Yes I was just a little boy then,but our parent and their finances has a big role to play in our life.
Abiola is another Buhari...just hyped without the people asking themselves what does he have to offer or what has He done in the capacity He had served.
If Buhari had died before He became the president,zombie will be shouting the only man that would have save the country don die...But God made them see the old man lack Capability and sense to govern a local government talk less of a country...
Now we're here.
Talk one thing that Abiola had done in the capacity he had served.....The man died chasing his selfish ambition.

Just as you have mentioned in your write up , you were still a kid when June 12 happened . So you won't know the gravity of the annulment of the only true and fair election in Nigeria. Try and put sentiments aside , the current political and economic problems we found ourselves in Nigeria today stemmed from the annulment of that election . Chief MKO Abiola could have walked away but no he stood and fought for the peoples' mandate , losing his wealth, wife , families and even betrayed by supposed allies and friends .

So my dear friend let us put sentiment aside and for once be fair in our reasoning and outburst.

My brother don't fall for the cheap lie . I am a Yoruba man and also a Christian. Yorubas have always lived in peace despite the different faiths and religions ,we inter marry, we pray together, we school together, we celebrate together and we are the most tolerant tribe in Nigeria.

They envy us and they feel they can use religion to break us . ko le work ( it can't work )

Thank you PMB for recognising MKO , God bless you and all well wishers .

salykely:


I haven't seen any Yoruba Muslim post equivalent of virulence here. Don't think that we Muslims don't know how much u Christians hate us. Some of u can go all way out to slaughter ur brethren just to rub it on ur Muslim neighbours.
I pray the war u are looking for will consume u and ur like mind

Texrec:
Good evening Friends, please I need your urgent advice and on how to manage this complicated situation.

I do supply of diesel and other products to a company here in Port Harcourt. They always paid within one or two weeks.After my mother's burial last year ,I didn't have enough cash to execute the supply they gave me because i sponsored the burial as the first son. So I borrowed some cash from a friend.

That was the beginning of my wahala. The company's manager and some workers defrauded the owner that hardly lives in Nigeria. So my payment was delayed and I explained everything to my friend. That I even invested all my little savings to that supply and that I'm even finding it difficult to feed my family.

Around February this year I went to Cross River state to buy chippings for someone and I spent about two days there because of truck problems. So my phone battery was down and even my wife was not able to reach me. To my greatest surprise, this my friend went to my church and I told my pastor that defrauded him.That I have even packed out of my house and switched off my phone. Meanwhile he knows my place and he didn't even bother to go and ask my wife where I went to since my number wasn't going through. When the pastor told me things he said, I couldn't believe it (infact I was shocked). I called my friend and he initially denied meeting my pastor.

The pastor scheduled a meeting for us to meet and sort things out but the guy refused to show up. I have tried to sell my own share of my inheritance to pay him his money but I have not been able to see a serious buyer due to the location of the property.

The problem is that this guy is calling everybody that I know and even going to Facebook to contact my friends that I defrauded him. I have asked him to give me time but he said I must come to somewhere outside port Harcourt town with my wife before he will negotiate anything with me. I cannot allow anybody to ridicule my marriage because of debt. I told him I won't involve my wife in that kind of arrangement. He calls me every morning and night and sometimes i just feel like ignoring his calls because i know it's same talk everytime.The company is currently not operating but the chairman has agreed to pay me soon. How do I handle this mess because this guy is ruining my reputation and it's tearing my marriage apart. If you have experienced this before, please I need your advice urgently because I'm going insane.

Hello sir , you are owing and necessity demands you pay your creditors. I don't like it when people like you start giving frivolous excuses when its time to pay back what you borrowed. Your action has potentially spoilt your relationship with your friend and definitely blocked future opportunities.
Next time don't borrow beyond your capacity.

AlfaSeltzer:
Abokii. Are you sure he knew what he was doing?

Going by your statements , I can presume you do not know the very eloquent man called Tafawa Balewa . Go on YouTube and watch him talking .

Same thing applies to National youth corpers taking advantage of young girls and boys put under their cares.

I think she's trying to say patriotism

Rumination Syndrome
What is rumination syndrome?
Rumination syndrome is a rare behavioral problem. It affects children and some adults. Rumination syndrome causes an automatic regurgitation of recently eaten food. If your child has this problem, he or she will usually eat meals normally. But, after about an hour or two, undigested food comes back up into his or her mouth from the esophagus. Your child will either rechew and reswallow the food, or spit it out. Usually, this happens at every meal, day after day. Rumination is a reflex, not a conscious action.

Rumination syndrome is a rare problem. However, it may be underdiagnosed because it is mistaken for another problem.

Although still rare, rumination is being diagnosed more often in both children and adults. Experts think this may be happening because healthcare providers are now able to spot the problem. Then they can diagnose it. Rumination is not actually happening more often.

What causes rumination syndrome?
Experts think rumination is unconscious. However, they also believe that the voluntary muscle relaxation of the diaphragm becomes a learned habit. It is similar to the typical belching reflex. But rather than burping up gas, the reflex causes actual food to come back up.

What are the symptoms of rumination syndrome?
Rumination is different from throwing up. With rumination, the food is undigested and often still tastes the same as when it was first eaten.

The symptoms of rumination syndrome may look like other medical conditions or problems. Always talk with your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.

How is rumination syndrome diagnosed?
Since throwing up is much more common, rumination syndrome is often misdiagnosed as a vomiting disorder, such as delayed digestion (gastroparesis) or GERD or heartburn (gastroesophageal reflex disease).

To diagnose rumination, healthcare providers need to ask the right questions. For instance, asking what the food tastes like when it comes up is important. If it still tastes good, this means the food was not digested. This means that rumination syndrome is a good possibility. Vomited food has been digested and typically is not kept in the mouth.

The symptoms of rumination syndrome do not get better with usual treatment of reflux.

How is rumination syndrome treated?
Specific treatment for rumination syndrome will be decided by your healthcare provider based on the following:

How old you are
Your overall health and past health
How sick you are
How well you can handle specific medicines, procedures, or therapies
How long the condition is expected to last
Your opinion or preference
There aren’t any medicines available that effectively treat rumination syndrome. The best way to stop it is to relearn how to eat and digest food properly. This requires diaphragmatic breathing training.

A behavioral psychologist usually teaches this, and it's easy to learn. The technique has to be used at the start of every meal to avoid regurgitation. Over time, most people can master the breathing technique. This will stop the bad symptoms of rumination syndrome.

Can rumination syndrome be prevented?
Experts aren't sure why rumination syndrome starts in the first place. So it's unclear what can be done to prevent it.

Living with rumination syndrome
The good news about rumination syndrome is that it doesn't seem to do much physical damage. In rare instances, it can cause problems with the esophagus from the acid and reflux. In some teens and adults, it has caused a small amount of weight loss.

Work with your healthcare provider or your child's healthcare provider to know the symptoms. Then work with a behavioral psychologist to end the pattern.

When should I call my healthcare provider?
If your symptoms get worse or you have new symptoms, tell your healthcare provider.

Key points about rumination syndrome
Rumination syndrome is a rare behavioral disorder in which food is brought back up from the stomach. It is either rechewed, reswallowed, or spit out.
The food will be described as tasting normally and not acidic-tasting, like vomit. This means it is still undigested.
This problem is a psychological disorder. It may be mistaken for vomiting or other digestive problems.
Behavioral therapy will help you to notice the pattern and work to correct it.
Rumination syndrome should be considered in anyone who vomits after eating, has regurgitation, and weight loss.

If no single Nigerian ( sports officials,journalists and even you and me ) noticed this error before FIFA pointed it out then we all are negligent.

Hello OP , please check the records well Dele Monday graduated with a first class degree from the department of political science OAU Ife in 1999/2000 academic year . Though it's been more than 17 years now .

Nigerians like doing things the wrong way .

A contract job is that where you are employed for a specific job,at a specific rate for a specific time period . All the condition of service would usually be spelt out in the contract papers . As a contractor the hiring manager is not bound to pay you holiday allowance, sick leave allowance, pension contribution ,insurance etc .

In view of the conditions have stated above ,in Europe (which I know of ) and probably in the U.S and other civilised world with good labour laws you will find out that at every point in time contractors usually earn more than permanent staff because the hirer is not liable to pay any future or immediate benefit usually paid to permanent employee.

So most times you will find out that while a permanent staff may be on a £36,000 per annum job a contractor could be hired for that similar job in the same office and would be paid ; let's say £400 a day but the contract could be for just 6months or 12 months with a probable extension and when its not extended or when the projects ends the contractor would have to leave and look for another contract elsewhere.

As a contractor you are more like a business man , so at every point in time you have to be a fast thinker and very calculative , you need to make good use of whatever you're earning , investing your income wisely ,saving for the raining day , have a back up and always looking for other job openings that may likely pay better or with longer contracting period.

In Nigeria, its however a big shame when I see contractors been treated like slaves . They are poorly paid despite the fact that they are excluded from every other benefits . Its all wrong ....and the government would need to do something very fast .

The song is in Hausa language. It means
Done it done it ,Jesus done it
The thing no human can do,Jesus has done it
Done it ,done it ,Jesus done it
The thing no human/man can do,Jesus has done it

(Hausa speaking churches are really interesting and you'll enjoy the service and the songs ) I am Yoruba but love knowing more about other tribes . In Christ Jesus there is neither Jew no Greek,bond nor free..... but we are all one in Christ Jesus . (Gal 3.28)

N'dawatu

Na so e dey take start

Do ur investigation very well , Nospecto and other High yield schemes were grounded by CBN when banks were no longer getting business as usual .
All the High yield investment schemes had their bank accounts frozened and that was what led to the premature end of those schemes in 2007.
CBN now cannot wield the same power because MMM does not have any special account where participating public put their funds .

What would you say of a credit and thrift / Esusu / Ajo etc where people come together ,the first person ofcourse will take the total contribution and the cycle continues. Tell me how this is different from the MMM model? Or what can u say of the high street banks that pays peanuts interest on deposits but charges outrageous interest on loans that are not even made available to the needy customers but rather given to themselves .
Nigerians are suffering , no overdraft facilities, no credit cards,no social benefits , no form of accessible credit. The system has failed and now that the people have devised a way of helping themselves the capitalist spirit in us is envious that at last the common man has a ray of hope .

I will advise him to go for Geography . Geography is an all encompassing field that involves even the Urban and regional planning , Physical and human/economic geography,Geomatics,Integrated Geography,sales and marketing etc

According to www.geolounge.com "Geography has been branded a unique science of bridging the gap between social sciences and natural sciences. Hence we have two main sub-disciplines in geography. These sub-disciplines are Physical Geography (natural sciences) and Human Geography (social sciences)."

Geography can easily open up doors of international opportunities for you because it is general and not specific ,unlike Urban and regional planning . If you move abroad and you say u read urban and regional planning , they would first of all look at where you are coming from- Africa -Nigeria , what can you really categorically point to as a good monument of urban and regional planning in Nigeria ? With Geography you can still conveniently branch out into Urban and regional planning either in the future or at a Master degree level. Don't just get carried away with the name 'Urban and regional Planning'

Human Geography

Human Geography which is the second sub-discipline is of no less importance because essentially studies the people, cultures and communities existing in the world with a view of understanding its effects on the environment and vice versa. This means that the sub-discipline tries to understand the relationship that occurs within and across space – space here referring to specific locations – and place.

The scope of Human Geography is somewhat broader that physical geography and thus the sub-fields are more numerous than its counterpart. These subfields are namely:

Cultural Geography (trying to understand and describe the occurrence of various cultural groups with reference to space.
Economic Geography (studying the relationship between economic systems and the biophysical environment).
Historical Geography (understanding world history in terms of space and time).
Population Geography (studying cultural composition, growth, migration patterns as related to nature of places).
Political Geography (studying political and governmental features of regions)
Settlement Geography (defining what could be termed rural and urban areas and why?)
Health (Medical) Geography (health and disease study across space and place).
Essentially, Geography is considered the field of the three ‘Ws’, i.e. “Why is What Where”? Meaning the field studies ‘phenomenon’ both existing and anticipated.

Physical Geography

The first sub-discipline to be discussed is Physical Geography. Why?

This is because Physical Geography studies the all processes and pattern that can be consider natural on the Earth’s surface and since it is has been established in the science that the earth came into existence before humans, the physical environment is always studied first.

There are constant interactions between people and the environment and also between elements of the environment itself and this is the focus of Physical geography. Its importance is growing daily with the different types of environment issues that seems to the popping up day by day in the world we live in today e.g. water shortages, global warming, deforestation, tsunamis, erosion, to name a few.

The sub-discipline has four (4) view points namely the Atmosphere (air), Lithosphere (ground), Hydrosphere (water) and Biosphere (the meeting point of the other three spheres also referred to as the ‘Life’ sphere).

Sub-fields in Physical Geography are numerous but they can be broadly categorized into 5 which are

Geomorphology (earth’s form and structure)
Hydrology (study of all forms of water underground, over-ground and in the cloud)
Climatology (study of long term weather called climate and its effects on life)
Biogeography ( study of plant and animal life and processes)
Pedology ( the study of soils)

The analytical and research skills gained from your geography degree are attractive to a range of employers

naptu2:


By the way, welcome to the thread. You are the first person to do what I'm hoping for. You just reminded me of Monkey Come Chop Banana.

I'm hoping that someone will remind me of the name of the hausa song, the name of the artist that sang One Early Morning and the name of that Charlie Boy song.

The hausa song was performed at almost every state occasion in the 1970s and '80s, along with Nike Nike, Iya Ni Wura and Omo Pupa. Almost everybody I ask can remember the tune, but nobody remembers the name of the song or the lyrics.


I had the little 331/3 disc of One Early Morning. It's a James Brown kind of funk song. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the person that sang it.

Charlie Boy released a song in the early 1980s. I later discovered that it's a cover of an older song. I call it Onyiora because I can't remember the actual name of the song, but the chorus, when translated into english, goes something like, "Mad man, he's a madman. Catch him, he's a madman".

Neptu I think the Hausa song you can't remember goes thus ...." Ina za muje, Ina za muje ,Ina za muje Naijeriya , ina za aa muje " can't remember the artist but I think Bala Miller also sang it on his TV show those days .

I was there yesterday . It was a complete shame and embarrassment. I got there at about 4pm and up until about 9pm when they did manual screening of our documents there was still no electricity.
There was complete black out at the departure gates,
We were told to go and make photocopies of our travelling docs which they collected from us as evidence of travel.
We all resorted to the use of touch lights and recharchable lamps to fill our documents.
There were delays in flight departures.
I have now arrived at my destination but still waiting for my luggage
