Why not build a new one and name it after him. All these trash keeps happening each time a so called political figure dies. If madiba was frm this insane part of d world. Am sure by now my passport will b renamed federal republic of Mandela.

ayusco85: Ignorance at its peak. U dont know ur fellow country greats, na anoda country own u dey mourn pass the bereaved. Without solomon lar democracy and PDP wouldn't ve been born

Just hear yourself out and see who the ignorant fellow is. madiba was sick and was never treated outside south Africa. he was treated in the hospitals he built and by doctors he trained and cared for. so why did mr Solomon lar travel out for medical treatment after been a governor, minister and father of PDP. we celebrate achievers and not people who consider Nigeria as a burial ground. abeg no spoil my cry for mandela..... *crying*

Nafeesa AA: @ OP. So any policeman that dies in the north even from natural ailment is killed by Hausa Fulani ?
Do you know how many military officers and police officers that die in the SE \ SS during the height of militancy in the Niger delta and armed robbery / kidnapping in the Southeast. My younger brother who was posted to Ariaria market division in Aba told me that around 2008- 2011, an average of 7 or more death policemen and mopol are conveyed to the north from Aba alone.

oga I don't like quoting miscellaneous people but why are you questioning what the woman said. you and I weren't there so just shu.t up

its time for PDP to help if they really want to.

Go And Die Widow:
Hausa/Fulani People Killed My Police Husband Last Year.

"I don’t want PDP money. Let them go and use it to help other widows. I want my late husband’s benefits from the police authorities.
My husband died last year in the hands of Hausa/Fulani people shortly after graduating from an inspectorate course and was posted to the North.
All efforts to collect his benefit were not successful." - Madam Ifije aka "Go and Die Widow".

op pls include BANCE if Burkina faso

mine was on my matriculation day those days at absu( abia state university). it was on my matriculation day and as I was serving my guest including those that I dnt even know. someone among them stole my new phone which was a matric gift from mum for gaining admission to study law. I was receiving calls from guest yet to locate my apartment so I frequently use and drop my phone, all of a sudden I noticed that my phone has not been ringing for at least 15 mins, I started to look for it only to realize that my much cherished express music nokia phone is gone. I really felt bad not for loosing the phone but for my friends that were calling me to know where to locate me and for some who were still in the bus on their way, many of them didn't see me and many accused me of been ungrateful; for not calling back to say thank you for the airtime they sent to me. well it was a blessing as my mum then bought blackberry for me as I became one of the first users of BB then in my hood. (telling this story made me remember those days in school and naija).

mustaphagreens: 1. Smile, smile, SMILE!
2. While on stage, hold your
head high and pretend that
crown's already on your
head.
3. Scan the judges, scan the
audience, then once again,
scan the judges.
4. If you find it difficult to look
the judges in the eyes, look
at their foreheads.
5. Remember - it isn't the most
talented girl who wins the
talent competition. It's who
has the best stage presence.
6. Don't compare yourself to
other girls, because you're
only being judged on you.
7. You don't need to spend
thousands of dollars to get a
pageant winning dress.
Search eBay or your local
mall for sales. If it is elegant,
sparkles on stage, and it
makes you feel like a queen,
then it could be your
winning gown.
8. Swimsuit isn't about who is
the hottest girl on the stage.
It is about who has the most
confidence walking out on a
stage in what can feel like
underwear.
9. If at first you don't succeed,
try again. Most pageant
winners have competed
before, often many times.
0. It is good to exercise and eat
well before a pageant, but
there is no need to starve
yourself because no matter
what your size, your
confidence and poise is
what will take you on to the
next stage of competition.
1. Don't lie on your paperwork
or in the interview. If you get
caught in a lie, or one of the
judges is an excellent poker
player, your bluff will cost
you.
2. Be true to yourself. The
judges want to see girls who
are real, not the ones who
sound rehearsed.
3. On your fact sheet, don't give
it all away. Make statements
somewhat vague so the
judges have something to
ask about!
4. Practice, practice, practice.
The more you practice, the
more prepared you are, and
the better you'll do.
5. You need not to have perfect
grades or have something
super impressive on your
fact sheet to impress the
judges. What will make you
stand out is something
unique that not many people
have done or can do. Play the
accordion? Race go carts?
Breed hamsters? Write it
down.
6. Have someone proofread
your paperwork before you
turn it in.
7. Perform your talent for as
many people as you can. The
more advice you can get, the
better your performance will
be.
8. Choose a platform that really
means something to you, not
just something you think will
impress the judges.
9. Know your current events
and important issues that
are being discussed in the
news.
0. Even if you don't get the
crown, you're a winner just
for competing so if you don't
win, don't feel like a loser.
1. If you want to begin to eat
healthier before the pageant,
do some reading on proper
nutrition. Surviving on tiny
salads and diet soda will only
slow your metabolism and
you won't lose fat that way.
2. Diet pills do NOT work.
Enough said.
3. Every girl has a little "junk in
the trunk". If you jiggle, don't
worry about it. Even the
skinniest girls have a little
jiggle room back there.
4. Cover any and all tattoos and
remove any piercings other
than the two holes in your
ear. You aren't supposed to
be judged on such things,
but unfortunately, some
people will. Sure, those
people might be stupid but
there's nothing you can do
about it.
5. You don't need to hire some
expensive pageant coach to
win. Anyone can do the
same job, and with a little
reading and some research,
you can learn all you need to
know about pageants.
6. Read up on some famous
title holders, especially if
you're competing in the Miss
America or Miss USA systems.
7. On-stage question is not as
tough as it might seem.
Often times, the stage lights
are so bright that you can't
see the audience anyway. So,
just pretend they aren't even
there.
8. If you don't feel confident on
stage, try to get some friends
and family to be your
"cheering section". This will
definitely give you a
confidence boost while on
stage.
9. In order to create a natural
smile rather than a "plastic
look", think of something
funny before you go on
stage. I kept a picture of
David Hasselhoff from his
Baywatch days backstage.
This struck me as funny and
kept my smile from looking
unnatural.
0. The interview isn't an
interrogation, but rather a
conversation where the
judges can get to know you
better.
1. Know your platform inside
and out. You never know
what you'll be asked.
2. Be sure you understand just
what the responsibilities of
the title holder are. You don't
want to win and discover
that you can't handle the job.
3. Don't be afraid to ask
questions in the interview if
you don't understand. The
judges will be glad to clarify
for you.
4. Try and think of all your
positive traits first before
you write your paperwork.
It'll help a lot!
5. Never portray yourself in a
negative light in any part of
the competition. You want to
be confident, not self-
depreciating.
6. Does this pageant charge
you to compete? Most beauty
pageants may charge you
only for your stay and meals.
However, none of them
would charge you to
compete. If yours does,
forget it. It's only a scam.
7. Make sure your talent is not
too long. If you have to
change it the day before the
competition, you might not
perform very well.
8. Form opinions on
EVERYTHING, from your
opinion on the death penalty
to what your favorite color
is.
9. Use the bathroom before the
interview and before the
show. Trust me, you'll
appreciate it.
0. Keep your clothes organized
and hung up so you can find
things and they remain
unwrinkled. When you have
to change fast you won't be
stressing out about where
you put your strapless bra or
that your suit is wrinkled.
1. Don't drink any carbonated
drinks on competition day to
prevent bloating.
2. Always maintain excellent
posture. Shoulders back, chin
parallel to the ground, and
back straight, whether
you're sitting or standing.
3. Keep your walk slow and
elegant during evening
gown. Remember, it's at this
point the judges will be able
to see who that crown will
fit on best.
4. Search online for a good
"pageant hairstyle". Look at
pictures of all the current
Miss America or Miss USA
contestants for ideas. NO
PROM UPDOS! They just don't
work.
5. Don't fuss with tons of
jewelry. A large pair of
rhinestone earrings can be
all you'll need. Search stores
like Icing or Claire's for
cheaper accessories because
when they have sales, they
mark some gorgeous jewelry
down for dirt cheap.
6. Make sure your gown fits
perfectly. This, sometimes,
means waiting until a month
or two before competition to
buy it because if you lose or
gain weight in the
meantime, it may not fit right
and you don't want to find
that out two weeks
beforehand.
7. You don't need to spend
hundreds of dollars for a
"pageant swimsuit", either.
Stick with solid colors that
complement your skin tone
and hair color. Something
that has a touch of sparkle to
it will look great.
8. Your evening gown
shouldn't look too much like
your typical high school
prom dress. Look at the type
of dresses Miss America
contestants wear. They are
elegant, often with long
trains, and they have at least
a touch of sparkle. You can
find these gowns among the
many prom-type gowns but
it can take a lot of searching
to find the perfect one.
9. Do your research. There are
lots of good pageant
resources online, but finding
them can be tough. Google
will be your friend.
0. Talk to the current title
holder about what she does
to prepare for competition.
She has already done it, and
so, she's bound to have
some excellent pointers for
you.
1. Don't do a pageant just
because someone else wants
you to. You won't win and
you won't be happy. You
have to want it.
2. Want a pretty crown? Buy
one on eBay. Being a title
holder can often be a big
responsibility, so be
prepared.
3. Don't spend thousands on
cosmetic dentistry. Get some
Crest Whitestrips if that will
make your smile more
confident. If you're worried
about the appearance of
your teeth, see an
orthodontist. Braces aren't
all that bad and you'll be
happy you had them
because your mouth will be
prettier and healthier.
4. Show your personality both
in the interview and on the
stage.
5. Get plenty of beauty sleep
during pageant week.
6. Never get yourself down
because you think the other
girls are "better" or
"prettier". We're all more
critical of ourselves.
7. You don't need to be a
singer or good at playing an
instrument to win. Dancers
and monologues do quite
well, also. A unique talent will
really set you apart, too. Are
you a baton twirler? Juggler?
Yodeler? Give it a shot
because you're bound to
stand out among all the
boring song and dance
routines.
8. Afraid to go to the beach in
your swimsuit? Probably not.
So why is the stage any
different? Those heels are
just like sandals, and at least
on stage, you can wear some
sort of body makeup, boob
pads, and butt glue. That
stuff won't fly down in
Daytona, and I bet you
wouldn't let that stop you
from having fun there,
either.
9. Make friends with other girls.
Don't be catty or talk behind
backs. Miss Congeniality is an
even more honorable title
than Miss America.
0. Don't stay out late the night
before the pageant. Dark
circles under your eyes can
only be covered up to a
certain extent.
1. If and when you win, you
are representing a group of
people. Be a good
representative and don't do
anything you might regret
later or that might force the
pageant to strip you of your
title.
2. 99.9% of your interview will
probably be based on your
fact sheet. Just FYI.
3. Even though most of your
interview will be based on
your fact sheet, still be aware
of your current events just in
case they pop one of those
questions on you. Don't
know what's going on in the
world most of the time?
Then fill up that fact sheet so
they've got more things to
ask you.
4. Keep your answers short
and concise. If you're asked,
"Do you take criticism well?",
don't answer with a one
minute speech about the
time when you were
criticized and it made you
feel bad. No one word
answers, though. The more
questions the judges can ask
you, the more they get to
know you, and the better
you'll do.
5. A little extra padding can go
a long way. I think that
statement's self-explanatory.
6. Make sure you have extra
nylons. You never know
when you'll get the runs.
7. Don't be afraid to make the
judges laugh a little! Sharing
something humorous will
lighten the mood and make
them feel more comfortable.
8. The judges are often just as
nervous as you are, or even
more so. They have a huge
decision to make that could
change the lives of the girls
competing.
9. Still feeling nervous? Breathe
in through your nose and
out through your mouth.
Deep breathing relaxes the
body. Another thing you
might try is listening to your
favorite song or watching an
episode of your favorite
comedy on your iPod
beforehand.
0. Only tell a story if it is
relevant and doesn't take too
long to tell. Remember,
you've only got a matter of
minutes for these judges to
get to know you.
1. Read books that are geared
towards people looking to
improve your job interview
skills. A pageant is just like a
job interview. You are being
interviewed for the job of
Miss Whoever.
2. Have your friends and family
pop interview questions on
you. The more practice, the
better.
3. Is there a local title you really
want to win but don't have
much experience? Try
entering an open pageant
(one in which anyone in the
state can enter). The
competition will be MUCH
tougher and it will give you
some valuable experience.
The girls competing may be
quite experienced, and can
give you plenty of advice.
4. Watch pageants on TV. See
just how these girls do it.
5. Still don't feel like a queen?
Buy a plastic crown and
wear it while you practice
that evening gown walk. It
may seem silly, but it can be
a confidence booster!
6. You don't need to be 5'9",
blonde, and have a white
gown to win. You can win
no matter what your size,
shape, color, or social status
is. The judges don't know
how much money you have
or if that's really your natural
hair color or not.
7. Make sure you have tons of
fun! If you aren't having fun,
maybe this pageant thing
isn't for you. It shouldn't
seem like a chore. You
should enjoy it.
8. While working on your
platform, make sure you
know the names of
organizations that are
somehow connected that
you can get into contact
with. If you've got such
connections it'll be very
impressive to the judges.
9. Search Yahoo or any news
site for current events
relating to your platform. If
your platform is cancer, and
someone very famous died
of cancer last week, you
might want to know this. If
your platform is AIDS and
they've discovered a new
treatment a couple of days
ago and if you can include
that in the interview, it'll
wow them.
0. The competition is a
performance! Put on a good
show. You want to entertain
as well as impress.
1. You should use some sunless
tanner to get some color in
your skin if you're very pale.
The color accentuates your
muscle tone and makes you
appear to be thinner.
2. If you're still feeling self-
conscious about something
"jiggling", rub Preparation H
on it. It tightens the skin
temporarily so use it before
you go on for swimsuit.
3. Use a shimmer lotion on the
front of your legs and your
arms for a slimming effect.
4. If you want to know how
you're doing, ask the
pageant directors. Hopefully
they'll be honest with you.
5. I know it's ridiculous, but...
"BE THE CROWN! You ARE the
crown!"
6. Wear heels everywhere. It'll
help your walk immensely.
7. Pump iron. Weight training
along with cardio will keep
you toned and burn more
fat. If you're in good shape,
you'll be more confident.
8. Remember that often times,
the judges are at foot level.
Have a nice, neat pedicure.
Use a light pink polish if you
are unsure as to what color
to use. It looks classy and
goes with everything.
9. Keep double stick tape and
super glue in your dressing
room. You never know when
it'll come in handy.
0. Your talent costume should
be comfortable but also a
little flashy. In the pageant
world, a little sparkle here
and there (or a lot of sparkle,
whichever you like best)
goes a long way.
1. Pageants are a great way to
earn scholarships. Look for
pageants that reward
scholarships for all
contestants participating so
you're guaranteed to get
something back out of it.
2. Fake eyelashes are great for
the stage, but don't wear
them in the interview. The
interview is a much more
professional setting so wear
a nice suit, small earrings,
and little makeup. Your
makeup should be just as
much as you might wear on
an average day.
3. Whether you're an A cup or a
DD cup, you don't need
plastic surgery to win a
pageant. Don't be like those
girls on MTV's Tiara Girls
who think they need lip
injections to do well. Have
you noticed that those girls
usually don't win?
4. Don't scoff at first runner-up.
First runner-up means you
beat out everyone else
except one, and that's
nothing to cry about!
5. You never know what's
going to happen. Don't
prepare to win or to lose.
This set of judges might
make one decision and
another set of judges could
make an entirely different
decision. A girl who was the
fourth runner-up at a local
pageant was awarded the
crown when the winner was
stripped of her title for some
reason and the three girls
ahead of her were ineligible
because they'd already won
other titles. This girl recently
became Miss Kentucky.
6. If you make a mistake, try to
act like it never happened.
The audience may not notice
and if the judges notice, but
see how quickly you can pick
up your composure quickly,
afterwards they might be
impressed.
7. Be on time. There is no such
thing as fashionably late in
the pageant world.
8. Not everyone is as nice as
they appear. Be nice to
everyone during the pageant
and if someone turns on you
don't seek revenge. No
matter what, always strive to
be Miss Congeniality. It will
take you far not only in
pageants but also in life.
9. Be prepared for everything. I
suggest bringing a large
Rubbermaid container and
pack everything but the
kitchen sink because you
never know what you might
need backstage.
0. Don't change anything
during pageant week. Make
all your final wardrobe
decisions beforehand and
you'll feel prepared and
confident!
1. Last, but most certainly not
least, have fun, and live those
moments to the fullest.

Haba my sister . It's just miss nysc (as in miss suffer suffer ) not miss world.

waiting to celebrate with senator ngige and all Apc faithful's

seems to me that your ignorance is legendry

modextus:


Walai! This man no watch tha match

i bet with my last card he didn't watch it or is it that his act of ignorance is now legendary.
though we did the scoring they did the playing and footballing

let me go and book my ticket for rio 2014.

Super Eagles soar to reach Brazil
© AFP

Nigeria became the first African side to reach the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ after a 2-0 victory over Ethiopia in Calabar confirmed a 4-1 aggregate play-off win. Victor Moses coolly slotted home a first half penalty before substitute Victor Obinna slammed home a late free-kick to see Nigeria through to their fifth World Cup finals in six attempts.

Efe Ambrose had the first Nigerian shot in the opening moments after Brown Ideye had broken into the Ethiopian penalty area, but the Celtic defender's effort was wild and high. Sisay Bancha then produced a wonderful double save after a seemingly innocuous throw-in by Ahmed Musa reached Emmanuel Emenike in space inside the Ethiopia penalty area. His shot was stopped and Moses’ follow up was turned behind for a corner by the Ethiopia No1.

The game then turned in Nigeria's favour as Musa received the ball on the Nigeria left and attempted a cross. Aynalem Hailu - the defender who conceded a last-minute penalty in Addis Ababa - jumped to block and was adjudged to have handled the ball. Moses stepped up, and scored an almost identical penalty to Emenike’s first leg effort, passing the ball into the bottom right-hand corner and sending Bancha the wrong way.

It was Moses’ third penalty against Ethiopia in 2013, having scored two spot kicks against the Waliya Antelopes at this year’s CAF Africa Cup of Nations tournament.

Ogenyi Onazi then received the ball on the Nigeria right and whipped in a cross to the back post, but Ideye headed wide of the goal. The two combined again just before the interval, with Onazi’s shot from distance parried by Bancha, and Ideye hitting his follow-up over the bar.

Ethiopia hopes dashed
Salahdin Ahmed found himself free of the Nigeria defence after the break, but the in-form Vincent Enyeama rushed off his line to smother the ball before the Ethiopia No7 could get his shot away. Emenike then sprinted in behind the Ethiopian defence after a through ball by Onazi, but Bancha was quickly off his line to thwart the Fenerbahce frontman.

Ahmed was brought down by Chelsea's Kenneth Omeruo on the edge of the box, and took the resulting free kick but it was wasted and Shemeles Bekele found himself offside after the ball was chipped back into the box.

The second half continued to move along at a relaxed pace, until Obinna’s late free kick. The Lokomotiv Moscow forward curled his right-footed effort past Bancha, who should really have done better with the set piece.

As the rain began to hammer down towards the end, the Ethiopians’ mood matched the miserable weather, but the hosts did not care. They danced jubilantly and joined the crowd in celebration on the final whistle as their thoughts turned to next summer’s carnival of football in Brazil.

Desric: Nigerians will never cease to amuse me, of what purpose does GEJ tourist visit to Israel serve his Religious belief? It is a known fact from time immemorial that Muslims all over the world as a matter of compulsion in fulfilment of the laws and demands of Islam must visit their holy land of Makkah if they can afford it, just like baptism is to the Christian fold.
What the President and his cohorts have done is a big show of shame and disgrace, if he so loved to visit that land, he should have done that quietly and not in this jamboree and wasteful nature. If I may ask, who sponsored this journey and who approved the bill? Anyway, its like the Igbos are part of this jewish tribe, because they are always dependant like parasites, not having a say of their own always hiding under someone's cover, Hypocrisy, Mediocrity and sycophancy is their birthright and trade mark. Nigeria must be better someday if we do not break and divide that's my believe.

if you know me better you will that I hardly reply fo.ols but let me answer u. Since time immemorial Christians go on primigage to Israel. So what d crap are you saying.
