There is noting bad in telling to bring down is price or forget the deal. Why call him a MAGA?

He never called Dbanj a "Maga" rather Dbanj assumed that

^^^^ Its more peaceful when you live your life without compromise, look at the rate of divorce these days, it will affect a child more when the parents experience a broken marriage. So many people are not hapi in their marriages, but they just tend to continue just cos of the contract. Its too risky to even be married cos:

** You will be having unprotected sex with the person all your life

** You will live with the person till death kicks in

** Share your secrets with him/her

Among so many other things, trust me the world would be a better place when people see this marriage thing from another perspective. Law, tradition and culture are meant for people and not people for Law, tradition and culture so if its not favorable we change it. Marriage these days are causing more problems and untimely death.

^^^^Nobody said the girl will be forced to have the baby, its definitely gonna be a mutual agreement. You can also both have a baby and still be living in the same house(or still boyfriend and girlfriend) but not under any contract. That one is not married does not mean he doesnt love his children. Even most married men do not care or spend time with their kids so marriage is not guarantee that a man must care for his children.

What of John Terry?

Yeah Terry is there and doing well too, but you know Ashley Cole is always going forward and also Ivanovic from the right flank so Mikel always stays put to cover up for them. Secondly Chelsea defend from the Midfield and Mikel is doing the job very well

12large1:
and wetin be alex song 3 goals already this season

Maybe thats why Arsenal has shipped in more goals this season than Chelsea, Mikel is a Defensive Midfielder 4 christ sake and he is doing that just pretty well. You can judge Drogba and co for how many goals they have scored.

D'banj is just being on the news these days for everything negative

He can sleep with the 700 at once if he wanted. Even most gals ranting here can still fall 4 him, so wats the fuss. Nice one Cassano, its very good for your health and will help keep you fit(no wonder he hardly gets injured)

Apart from procreation, whats there in entering that life contract with a woman. Honestly if not for making babies I would not think of getting married(its too risky) and if a brother can get it without being married let him go ahead.

You can never satisfy a woman

blackmann:
and to add to that, love them equally. If you cannot, just marry one.

Which is almost impossible to love 2 different women equally

You can as well marry the two as you dont want to lose either of them.

Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel says he’s playing in his best position this season.

The Nigeria international has been outstanding this term.

He told chelseafc.com, “This position is now my position. This is where I love to play and where I feel most conformable playing. I just want to keep playing here now and keep improving.

“I know people want to see more of my attacking football, but with the kind of club I play for you have to do more for the side than just attacking.”

Mikel believes the goals will soon start coming and says the match against Inter Milan last term was his best since he arrived Chelsea.

“Hopefully you will get some goals from me; I just want to keep playing well and with the way I am playing hopefully goals will come. Maybe there‘ll be one or two, we‘ll see what happens.

“There have been loads, but I guess last season’s game against Inter Milan in Italy was a really good game. The way I played was greatm but that is a tough one for me to answer because I feel I have played well quite a few times, at least I hope I have.”

Daggers are drawn between D'banj and prolific music video director, Clarence Peters. This is as a result of a misunderstanding they had concerning the direction of the video of D'Banj's song - Scape Goat.

The story has it that Dbanj had approached Clarence to direct the video and the latter had provided the budget for it to D'Banj personal manager. According to the director, he presented a unique and costly concept which would have cost around N5million. But seeing that it was on the high side, he had proposed a partnership between his Capital Hills outfit and Mo'Hits which would halve the cost. D'Banj and his people felt offended by the price and waited for their next meeting with the director.

The meeting took place on Monday Oct 18th at the shoot of the MTV Independence anniversary. According to Clarence, D'banj said that he (Clarence) was calling him a 'maga' and trying to swindle him by presenting such a budget. "'Banj and Bankuli, his personal manager called me all sorts of names and walked out of the shoot." Clarence said

"They talked to us rudely and we even had to restrain some of our crew from attacking them" rapper Illbliss who works with Clarence said.

D'Banj's camp refused to respond to the matter.

Since the picture of Denrele and Charley Boy kissing started circulating on the Internet, a lot of people have been debating and asking if both personalities are lovers indeed.

But as the picture has raised so much talk, his Royal Punkness, Charley Boy, is having a ball, not caring about what is being said.

In fact, he told Life and Beat that he was the one that released the picture. “But you should know that I’m a hype master. We were shooting some of our pictures when I called Denrele and told him I was going to kiss him. I called the cameraman and told him to take the shot,” he said.

CB, as he is fondly called, said people should continue talking about him as he didn’t care about the controversy the picture has raised.

“See now, am I not making their lives exciting? Now I have relieved them of their boredom by giving them something to talk about. Let them continue,” he said.

CB says he is an artiste, as such, any moves he makes should be allowed.

“I’m trying to make people see beyond the picture. People are busy talking about it,” says CB. “You have to have confidence in yourself and be real. Nobody can claim to know me better than myself. The picture was designed to shock timid Nigerians who have chosen to reason like that.

“I came out with a nude picture and it shocked people. People should focus on things that are good, focus on the strength and not the weakness. Don’t focus on the hype and trivialities. Focus on things that are profound.”

CB says he is out to change lives.

With his Battle of the Gifted, the Area Fada has made an impact in the lives of many Nigerian youths.

“I organise a debate for youths in secondary schools in Abuja, where they come to the Punk Palace, not only for the debate but also for quiz, drama and dance. I was in Ibadan the other day for Dreams Come True competition, which was organised by Jazzy B. The Charley Boy Foundation gave a cash prize of close to one million naira to the winners.

“I’m not claiming to be a saint, but I always tell people to look beyond the ordinary. A lot of people have come to realise that the picture was just a stunt. Some others are of the view that I should have pulled another kind of stunt but how does it look like? Am I not an artiste?”

THE Kano office of DAAR Communications Plc, owner of AIT/Raypower,  was, on Friday, gutted by fire, with equipment worth millions of naira destroyed.

The conflagration, which lasted for over three hours, however,  claimed no life and nobody was injured while it lasted.

Head of AIT in Kano, Alhaji Abdullahi Addy, who described the incident as sad and pathetic, said the fire started around 8.20a.m when the station was on transmission, saying “we just saw smoke from our studio, but it only affected the office at the sixth floor of the building.”

According to him, the incident was unfortunate, especially as political activities were gaining momentum all over the country,  saying  that the station will bounce back with more determination to please its numerous listeners and viewers in no time.

“We, however, thank God that this fire did not kill anybody and nobody was injured,” he stated.

Speaking during his sympathy call to the station, the former governor of Kano State, Senator Kabir Gaya, described the incident as unfortunate.

“We have been enjoying the programmes of AIT in Kano State and have benefitted a lot from the coverage that AIT is giving to us,” the senator stated.

Gaya, a member of the All Nigeria peoples Party (ANPP) in the National Assembly,  said “I commiserate with the leaders of the corporation for the loss and I want to tell the manager that every disappointment is a blessing,” praying Allah to give multiple blessing to the station.

“We, however, wish this incident will not deter you from re-establishing another station,” Gaya said.

He appealled to the management of the media outfit not to delay in coming back on air even through a mobile station pending the time repairs  are carried out.

dominique:
The goal margin was not impressive but a win is still a win. . . Up gunners

Are you not happy you managed to win? 3points is not easy these days in EPL

IMO I think Carletto should take out Malouda and bring in Kalou, he is just wat we need in this match, som1 that has pace and skills who can counter-attack Blackburn, plus he will surely get us a penalty. Malouda is too care-free. Bring in Kalou and the game will change

Am sure this is Mr. Cork. Plus he has not posted today

Arsenal will only win if they have a west ham player sent off.

Another confirmed 3points in the bag for Chelsea. Prediction 3-0 in favor of Chelsea

That you repeated classes severally while in primary and secondary school does not mean people do not aspire to move higher in life. Plus did Ekwueme complain? No, rather he left the stage for them.

Gbam!!!

oyb:
absolute tosh without even reading the article

i pay my lecturers 1 million dollars per month

so american lecturers in Nigeria are earning 12million dollars a year, more than the earnings of several blue chip american ceos

so atiku is shelling out more than 200 million dollars a year, assuming he employs some 15 lecturers

how much will students be paying in that school Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

our journalists really need to stop proving saga right

this is what american professors earn

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professors_in_the_United_States



roughly $100,000 per year


meanwhile, this is steve ballmer's (microsoft ceo's) salary in 2008, 2009

http://www.pcworld.com/article/172486/set_steve_ballmers_salary.html



amazing lecturers are earning more per mnth than the ceos of one of the world's most valuable companies earn in a year

who needs those 1 million dollar bank exec bonuses that so incensed the american public, when you can be a lecturer for atiku

Not the amount he paid each lecturer, but the total cost a month to pay his oyinbo lecturers

This Atiku is a thief. He should just be arrested, no wonder he is striving so hard to come back. The most corrupt nigerian politician

Funny

We have treated this topic so many times here. But, these days 51 % of what you want in a man/woman is a pass mark! No genuine love bro We always hope for something that is not there!

In line with the provision of the Islamic legal code, the Vice Chancellor of the Niger State government-owned Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai, Professor Ibrahim Adamu Kolo, has outlawed hugging of female students in the university.

Kolo said that anyone caught “embracing or hugging” any female students would be severely dealt with.
The vice chancellor gave the order in Lapai, on Tuesday, while addressing a one-day enlarged re-orientation workshop organised by the institution for all its staff.

Describing hugging and embracing of female students as immoral, the vice chancellor said the management had decided to “forgive” those caught in the act but said those affected had been noted and would be closely watched by the authorities.

Kolo also warned staff of the university against leaking official secret as those that violated the law would be summarily sacked from the school.

He challenged staff and students to have a change of attitude in their approach to work and studies as all forms of idleness and laziness would not be tolerated.

Shock greeted the news on Tuesday evening that a combined team of security agents had impounded 13 containers suspected to be loaded with arms and ammunition at Apapa Wharf in Lagos.

The discovery was made barely two weeks after a consignment of electronic equipment suspected to contain toxic materials was seized at the same port. The ship that brought in the consignment, however, disappeared from the port.

Almost four weeks ago, twin car bomb blasts killed 16 people and injured 66 others in Abuja on October 1.

An intelligence source told THE PUNCH that senior security officials swooped on the port, based on information that a suspicious cargo had been brought into the country from Iran.

The source said top officials from the Police, the State Security Service, the Directorate of Military Intelligence and Naval Intelligence participated in the operation.

It was gathered that the clearing agent had raised suspicion when he allegedly offered to “pay any amount” to get the containers transferred from AP Moller Terminal to an off-dock terminal.

The agent reportedly pleaded for the containers to be screened outside the ports.

But his attempts failed, as information was passed to the relevant quarters on his suspicious actions. It was at this juncture that security agents were called in to search the containers. The unidentified importers of the consignment were said to have described its contents as building materials.

It was gathered that when the first container was opened, the security agents found various sizes of grenades, rocket launchers, bombs, assault rifles and heavy machine guns hidden in 24 crates of building tiles.

However, the source said, “We cannot quantify the contents yet. All we know for now is that they are concealed in tiles.”

The SSS Assistant Director, Public Relations, Mrs. Marilyn Ogar, confirmed the seizure to our correspondent on the telephone, saying the weapons were concealed among crates of floor tiles.

“On opening the first container, operatives discovered rocket launchers, grenades and other explosives,” she said.

She, however, declined to provide the identity of the vessel that brought in the containers and its final destination. Ogar confirmed that the containers’ manifest indicated they contained building materials.

She said security agents would search the containers through the night.

Ogar said security agents got information after the October 1 twin bomb blasts in Abuja that “arms were being brought into the country.”

When contacted, the spokesman of the Nigeria Customs Service, Mr. Wale Adeniyi, said, “As I speak with you, the first container is still being examined. We understand they are 13 in number. The contents of the first showed it had mortals, bullets and such related items.”

Attempt to obtain a reaction from the First Secretary, Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mr. Sadeghazadeh, on Tuesday night failed as he did not answer calls to his phone. He did not also respond to an SMS.

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta claimed responsibility for the blasts that cast a slur on Nigeria’s 50th independence anniversary celebration.

MEND leader, Mr. Henry Okar, is facing trial in a Johannesburg Magistrate court in South Africa, for allegedly being the mastermind of the blasts.

His brother, Charles and five others are also being prosecuted in Abuja for their alleged roles in the incident.

Most kidnap cases, oil platform seizures and disruptions in the Niger Delta are known to have been carried out by the group whose sources of arms and ammunition have largely remained unknown.

The National Task Force Combating Illegal Importation of Goods, Small Arms, Ammunition and Light Weapons had on October 18, impounded a lorry load of arms and ammunition in Onitsha, Anambra State.

The lorry was reportedly parked inside a compound in the city. But with the help of the police, the driver of the vehicle and the suspected importer were arrested.

It is believed that arms-build up was fuelling the violence in different parts of the country this year.

On January 17, clashes between Christians and Moslems in Jos, Plateau State, left at least 26 people dead, hundreds injured and thousands displaced.

In the same Jos, attackers wielding machetes and other dangerous weapons killed hundreds of people on March 7. A Plateau State official reportedly said the death toll could be more than 500, but police sources put it at 55.

In Warri, Delta State, two car bombs exploded some 200 metres away from the state Government House Annex, venue of a two-day post amnesty dialogue on March 15.

Similarly, there was a car bomb explosion along INEC Road in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital on May 2. The bomb exploded few metres away from a hotel belonging to the then deputy governor of the state, Mr. Peremobowei Ebebi.

Also, gunmen men in four speedboats attacked Ebebi’s home with improvised explosives, killing a private security guard on July 23.

On September 7, suspected members of an Islamic sect, Boko Haram, set the Bauchi Central Prison ablaze and freed members of the sect who were jailed in connection with the 2009 violence that rocked the state and some other states in the northern parts of the country.
