He keeps doing the same. he should be banned for life, lol,

Anthony Ujah has agreed terms to join German club Mainz on a four year deal worth 2.5 million Euros.

The forward is expected to leave Norway for Germany on Sunday ahead of a medical on Monday.

Ujah, 20, is the Norwegian Premier League top scorer with 13 goals in 12 games this season, and also finished the last campaign with a barn-slamming 27 goals from 33 games.

Those numbers drew interest from clubs in Germany, Denmark, France and Russia with Lille and Denmark in the forefront.

But both sides failed to meet Lillestrom's valuation, with Brondby dropping out only last week.


Officials from Mainz were in Norway to watch the Nigerian under-23 international blast four goals past Stromsgodset last weekend, and promptly negotiated a deal.

For me, I cant really recall all their names only their nicknames. There was this n!99a though. Can't remember his name but he he was called 'The Killer'. Real good looking guy with a sharp dress sense. interestingly the guy taught Christian studies but u'll never c him carrying a bible or a textbook to class. Nuthing just one fat stick which he used to beat those unlucky souls. I went 4 his class once and after seeing the way he thrashed the other guys in the class i made sure I avoided the psychopath.

then there was one Mrs. Usidame, the french teacher who was pure evil and very ugly too. she looked like a voodoo doll.

there was this other cat called spinky cos of his phat butt (shoulda called him buttzilla) I could swear that that guy always had an heavenly feeling whenever he beat kids. there was always this manic look in his eyes when he was torturing some kid. (Shudders)
I swear those guys make Adolf Hitler look like a saint.

Tell Sanusi to come up with a better reason,We will understand and not twisting issues that dnt make any sense.

Mutalab's father have been so desperate to establish an Islamic bank.

He's trying too hard to sell a common unsalable idea. He's been going back and forth and spending too much time with this Islamic bank issue.
I think we should just have two governors of CBN. One for the North and the other for the South.

Abeg, Abdulazeez Ude has been a muslim ever since I was born. So what difference does it make? An Igbo, so F***king what?
So Sanusi is saying the 99.9999999% of the Igbo ethnic group should embrace it because an Igbo muslim loner like Abdulazeez Ude, who has been a muslim 'cos of his business network is based in the north, is a major share holder.
Damn it.
The best He can come out with is just renaming it, The Bank for Northern Nigeria Muslims.

How and why do you allow such to happen?

Mexico is a very lawless society. No good story comes out of Mexico but sometimes I think about Nigeria.

MONTERREY, Mexico (AFP) – At least 22 people were killed in a string of attacks in Mexico, authorities said Sunday, including a shooting at a bar in Monterrey just hours after the opening of soccer's Under-17 World Cup.
Gunmen stormed the bar in Mexico's third largest city late Saturday and "executed three people," wounded another, and kidnapped a security guard at the bar who was later found dead, an official of Nuevo Leon state's investigation agency told AFP.
Four other people, 18-25 years old, were killed Sunday morning in Guadalupe, a city adjacent to Monterrey.
"The victims were gathering in front of one of their homes when armed men showed up in several vehicles and shot them," the official said.
Monterrey is one of the host cities for FIFA's Under-17 football tournament and it held two matches on its opening day Saturday: France-Argentina and Japan-Jamaica.
The relatively prosperous industrial hub of northern Mexico, home to several foreign companies, was until recently considered a near-safe haven as drug violence increased in many parts of the country.
But a bloody turf war between the Gulf cartel and its former hitmen the Zetas has spilled into the state in less than two years, producing daylight shootouts, grenade attacks and a climate of fear.
Thirty-three violent killings were recorded in and around Monterrey, an area of some four million, on Wednesday, making it the area's most violent day in recent history.
Another 14 people meanwhile were killed in the western state of Michoacan, whose bodies were found early Sunday, authorities said, also blaming drug cartel-related violence there.
Mexico is in the grip of a[b] brutal wave of largely drug-related violence that has killed some 37,000[/b] people since President Felipe Calderon launched a military crackdown on organized crime in 2006

I don't have to pay attention every idioti.c and moronic threads with bogus and absurd assertions.

The blame game over the alleged mismanagement of the funds of the House of Representatives has heightened, with six top management officials of the National Assembly testifying against ex-Speaker Dimeji Bankole and his deputy, Bayero Nafada.
But Bankole, who admitted that the House obtained a N10 billion loan, has however insisted that the Clerk of the House of Representatives (CHR) is the Accounting Officer of the House.
He asked the EFCC to hold the management accountable for all enquiries and issues he has been detained for.
Investigation by The Nation revealed that six top officials of the National Assembly have made statements to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against the ex-Speaker.
They are likely to serve as witnesses against the former House leaders.
The statements of the affected officials are contained in the Proof of Evidence submitted to the court for the trial of the ex-Speaker and deputy.
The Proof of Evidence has also been made available to the counsel for Bankole and Nafada in preparation for the trial of the former House leaders as from next week.
In the Proof of Evidence, exclusively sourced from the court by our correspondent, the officials disagreed with Bankole on approval of contracts, award of contracts above N50 million, the tender process and who is the accounting officer for the House.
One of the officials said in part: "The approval limit of the management is that of Ministerial Tenders Board for N50 million only. Anything above that goes to the Body of Principal Officers. This is as per the provision of government circular in 2008."
Another official said: "It is to be noted that the Board that considers all contracts above N50 million as at 2008 was the Body of Principal Officers under the chairmanship of the Honourable Speaker, while the Management Tenders Board under the leadership of the Clerk to the National Assembly considers contracts under N50 million."
On his part, a third official added: "The House Services Committee prepares the needs of the House, based on the approved budget. This needs the assessment and approval of the Hon. Speaker, who passes his directive to the Clerk of the National Assembly."
Also, one of the officials, who opened up on the purchase of bullet-proof Mercedes Benz and Range Rover SUV, said: "The contract for the supply of 3No Mercedes Benz (Treated) was analysed by a sub-committee on vehicles, of which I was not a member.
"The contract was not advertised. Rather, selective tendering procedure was used due to the nature of the item—security vehicles."
But Bankole in his written statement to the EFCC, which was also obtained from the court, said he was never the accounting officer of the House.
He also claimed that he was not a signatory to the accounts of the House.
He, however, admitted that it was true that the House got a N10 billion loan to "augment the running cost of members."
He insisted that he and Nafada did not benefit from the loan and augmentation of running cost.
The ex-Speaker said in part: "Funds allocated to the National Assembly are distributed to the Senate, House of Representatives and management on a quarterly basis from the Finance Ministry, based on approved budget of the National Assembly. To my knowledge, the Clerk of the House of Representatives (CHR) is the accounting officer of the House of Representatives.
"The Principal Officers of the House and leadership of management constitute the House of Representatives Tenders Board, chaired by the Speaker of the House. The Tenders Board of the House is the highest approving authority.
"I am not a signatory to the House of Representatives accounts. I do not know the signatory to the House of Representatives accounts.
"I do know that the House had an account with UBA. That account in UBA was moved to the First Bank of Nigeria last week. I cannot recall the reasons for the change of banks. The House in (plenary) Executive Session resolved to bank with First Bank of Nigeria. I cannot recall who raised the motion for this resolve. Yes, the Clerk sent a memo to me on this and I directed the processing.
"On the purchase of vehicles, the management of the House of Representatives has details concerning the transactions. The management is made up of the Clerk to the National Assembly, the Clerk of the House and other civil servants.
"On the N10 billion loan, it was as a result of augmenting the running cost of members of the House and its principal officers except that of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker, based on the report of the 37-man committee on the review of the House budget.
"Full details and documents are with the management of the House of Representatives. Regarding the N10 billion, which is being repaid to UBA, it was in two tranches. First is N6 billion and later in the year N4 billion, to repay the Senate and the management that initially lent the House the N4 billion.
"The N10 billion was paid back through the normal allocation quarterly in April from Finance Ministry.
"The First Bank of Nigeria offered the House a facility which the House took pending the release of the said funds i.e. liability as captured by the 2011 Amendment Act."
Meanwhile, after almost two weeks in the custody of the Economics and Financial Commission, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Oladimeji Bankole yesteerday regained temporary freedom.
He was able to perfect the ‘stringent’ bail conditions granted him by Justice Suleiman Belgore of an Abuja High Court.
Also released was his erstwhile Deputy, Mr. Usman Nafada.
The duo are facing a 17-count charge slammed against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) before a Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja.
They are charged with criminal breach of trust by agreeing to approve the allowances and/or "running costs" of Reps in violation of the approved Remuneration Package, dishonest use of House of Reps account to obtain about N38 billion loan to augment allowances and "running costs" of members in violation of the extant rules and felony to wit: theft.
They allegedly shared the N38 billion loan to members without the consent and approval of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) and the extant Revised Financial Regulations of the Federal Government of Nigeria, 2009.
The alleged offences are contrary to Sections 97(1), 286 and 311 of the Penal Code Act, Cap 532, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (Abuja) 1990, and punishable under Sections 287 and 315 of the same Penal Code Act.They have since pleaded not guilty.
Ruling on their consolidated bail application on Thursday, Justice Belgore admitted them to N50 million bail with two sureties in like sum, who must not be below the level of a permanent secretary in the civil service.
The two embattled ex-legislators, who regained freedom by 5: 15 pm, quietly walked out of the court premises without speaking with Journalists.
They have also applied for a review of the bail conditions.
Two of their lawyers, Mr. Tayo Oyetibo (SAN) and Mr. Afolabi Fashanu (SAN) confirmed that Bankole and Nafada have satisfied their bail conditions successfully.
Oyetibo said, "The bail conditions have been satisfied by two of them. Four sureties have signed the bail papers and the court is satisfied with the sureties. We are no longer considering the motion for variation of the bail conditions. They have satisfied the conditions and that is why they have been freed."

kabukabu50:
The honest truth is that a lot of these so called "good players" were all overated.

Austin Okocha=Overated.Never played for a big name club,and always underperformed.

Kanu Nwankwo=Overated,quit easily,never chased balls,was lucky most of the time.

The all time best players for nigeria will always be,
1)Finidi George, high work rate, delivered most of the time.
2)Ben Iroha.
The rest are below these guys in terms of value to their team, yeah Okocha was a good midfielder but he wasted too much time dribbling and had sorry finishing, why Nigerians worship dude is beyond me

None of these players you mentioned are/were overarted. Did you ever get to watch the premiership when JJ was the captain of his club?

Dnt you understand what a political party mean?

BY FAVOUR NNABUGWU, with Agency reports

Abuja-China is to send 469 technicians to Nigeria to provide technical assistance to the 36 states in the execution of 109 projects worth $14million.

Mr Zhang Taolin, Chinese Vice-Minister of Agriculture, announced this yesterday when he led a 15-man delegation to the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

The five-year technical cooperation deal between Nigeria and China is part of the South-South Cooperation, SSC, programme.

Zhang commended the Federal Government for its proper implementation of the South-South Cooperation programme.

He said the delegation was in the country to seek more ways of boosting cooperation in the area of agriculture through South-South cooperation.

Areas of cooperation, he said, include food production, water conservation, gas production, cross fertilisation, storage system and modern technology transfer.

“Going by the evaluation report and the success recorded in various areas of intervention, the Chinese government is planning to send another 190 technicians under the future projection to Nigeria,” he said.

* Nobody gets power on a platter of gold – Anya

BY CLIFFORD NDUJIHE

EVEN before President Goodluck Jonathan’s four year term is consummated, underground moves and counter-moves for 2015 have started. President Jonathan has the constitutional right to go for two terms if the electorate so wished but the 2015 underground currents are flowing on the premise that the President would do a term and quit given the controversies that hallmarked his emergence as well as his said promise to do four years and leave the stage.

But for the death of late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, the President, who deputised for Yar’Adua would not have been president now, at least not on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which zoned the seat to the North. It was on this score that a section of the North opposed Jonathan’s election. In the thick of the electioneering, leading presidential aspirants and candidates pledged to do a term if elected, and the President spoke in like manner.

With President Jonathan expected to leave in 2015, the South-East and North have kicked off moves to produce Jonathan’s successor.

Benue indigenes root for Mark
It is on this score that some leaders of Benue South Senatorial District and supporters of Senate President David Mark, have begun campaigning for Mark ahead of 2015.

By then, Mark would have done eight years as Senate President and would be one of the best qualified northerners to mount the Aso Rock power saddle.

Disturbed by the campaigns, Mark has cautioned his supporters and leaders of the Benue South Senatorial district against campaigning for him in the 2015 presidency, warning that it was morally wrong for anyone to embark on such a campaign for him when he did not commission anyone to do so.

Speaking in Otukpo at a special luncheon he organised at the weekend to express his gratitude to the people of Benue South District for electing him back to the Senate, Mark asked Idoma leaders to support him to complete his second term as Senate president, rather than expend energy on presidential campaigns.

Igbo leaders strategise for 2015
Relatedly, Igbo leaders are not left. This is coming as former Chairman of the Nigeria Economic Summit Group (NESG), Professor Anya O Anya said the only way the South-East could get power was by going for it and not waiting to be handed power on a platter of gold or on the basis of zoning.

Indeed, despite getting the positions of Secretary to the Government of the Federation, occupied by Senator Anyim Pius Anyim and offices of the Deputy Senate President (Ike Ekweremadu) and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (Ihedioha), Igbo leaders have not lost sight on producing the next president after Jonathan.

So, they are are tasking Igbo appointees holding these offices including the office of the South-East Governors’ Forum, under the chairmanship of Mr. Peter Obi and the Ambassador Raph Uwechue-led Ohanaeze Ndigbo, as well as other political office holders in Igbo land, to position Ndigbo for 2015 and beyond.

“With its current position in the present administration, the south-east has something to cheer. But there is need to intensify efforts to ensure that more equitable positions due to the zone are secured in the allotment of ministerial portfolios,” an Igbo leader said.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo in its statement of October 15 2010 urging support for Jonathan was specific on the issue of the presidency coming to the South-East after the South-South “Ohanaeze Ndigbo firmly believes in the reality and absolute equality of the six zones and holds the view that the topmost executive office in the land – Prime Minister or President, which has eluded the two geo-political zones of the South-South and South-East since the birth of our nation half a century ago, should now go to them in turn in unbroken succession as a matter of national priority, before any other zone can justly claim the right to a second or even third turn.

In line with this position, taken after wide consultation over several months, among Igbo people at home and abroad, Ohanaeze Ndigbo confidently urges the Igbo Nation to support en masse a credible new-generation Presidential candidate that has emerged from the South-South geo-political zone, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan”.

Clearly, support for Jonathan was an end-product of the case for a federal character rotation of the office of the President among the six geo-political zones of our country.

Since Ohanaeze is a pan Igbo organization and is not involved in the internal decisions or programmes of political parties, South-East leaders are making plans to come to a round table to brainstorm and strategise on how to utilise the positions the zone occupies presently.

Today, the South-East has leaders in political offices that were not imposed on them; rather they chose them directly or indirectly. For example, Igbo leader were asked by President Jonathan, to submit names of credible Igbo sons and daughters that would be appointed as SGF.

johnie:
INEC will never register a political party that is tribalistic or sectional.

As a matter of fact, parties are expected to have presence (offices) in a wide geographic area of the country.

But, you know not all political parties are widespread in every state in Nigeria. Some are either just located in one section of a state.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=688536.msg8503297#msg8503297 date=1307845736]Your question was previously answered, based on my opinion, ofcourse.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=688536.msg8503218#msg8503218 date=1307843885]In the news for the wrong reasons, I suppose.

No other group in Nigeria is as Independence-focused as the MASSOBs, nothing wrong with it. But for them to be taken serious and legit, they need warriors like you. With warriors like you, it can be turned into a political party, then from there you all can actually have your independence.[/quote]The purpose of this thread is to know if it was possible to have a pro-independence political party, and also if it is permitted by the Nigerian constitution to have such parties. It has nothing to do with recruiting warriors or finding heros.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=688536.msg8503130#msg8503130 date=1307841148]MASSOBs is specifically for the "liberation" of Biafra. While other groups like Anifere/OPC/Arewa are just there for the interest of their group.[/quote]Afenifere is different cos it is more political. OPC have previously annouced their intention to cease to be part of Nigeria to form an Odua nation if things arent working well with Nigeria. There are other groups in the north that want an Islamic Nation. Just because Massob seem to be in the news all the time doesnt make other groups agitation go unnoticed.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=688536.msg8503081#msg8503081 date=1307839582]They might as well be. They yarn opata on political matters, dont they?

They might as well turn into a political party, only thing is that nobody with a serious mind takes them seriously.[/quote]You should know that almost every ethnic group in Nigeria have their own armed group and they also make political statements and most times it is all about the autonomy of their ethnic group.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=688536.msg8503048#msg8503048 date=1307838584]Definitely.
