JNdupu: Sentiments aside, it is hype and he is nothing special for that age group (check out the hundredds of youtube videos of better gifted kids). He is also playing against average players.

Why is this frontpage? His Agent or Papa has bribed a mod?

kindly help us with clips of those you claim are better than him, remember they must be of Nigerian origin. We're waiting.

Btw, must i be the agent or father before spotting something interesting like this?

Enugu Rangers 2-0 Vital'O (agg 2-0).

Scorers : Oguchi, Yarehe.

But Enugu rangers and Kano pillars are through to the next round of the caf champions league.

Heartland got walked over by their Gabonese opponent for not getting to the venue at the right time, so heartland's out of the caf confederation league.

We're now left with just our 2 CCL clubs on the continent.

So sad!

Jesusbabygirl: Hello,edo peeps,I am nt an indegene of edo state but I completed my NYSC dere in feb in Uniben to be precise.Cool place I wld say but una too stingy

Did you offer anything? No free lunch in freetown, not even in north pole.

eyoniggar: ^^^I am not complaining about any other thing but his crosses, he isnt receiving full criticism, just a partial one as regards his dead crosses, he should go for crossing practice.

@ ERIC, Hell yea I recall saying almost all the games he featured in this season, I regard those dead crosses as unnecessary loss of possession.

we have 2 players from the flanks, alves and alba, pls who does more crosses between these 2? Remember that alves gives more crosses/assist to the strikers than any defender we have.

Ezeufi: He is an igbo boy. He is actually 21 yrs old but because of his small physique he passes as a baby so he could join the football academy

eyoniggar: Congrats to Abildal and a nice victory of-course without the magical messi, another STFU to the critics.

Plus Eric, did u count the number of dead crosses your Dani made? Pathetic!!

Cut Alves some slacks bro, haba, alot of them made dead crosses yesterday. our discuss was on the CL game, not in all of his games. 99% of players can't be top of their games all the time na.

bola4dprec: MEND is a group of people located in minority geo-political zone blessed with fuel only source of surviving in Nigeria BOKO HARAM is a group of people believing in power i.e born to rule ideologist

Abeg make i hear word jare. both of them are killing people out there, you are here defining some funny stuff for us here. blessed with fuel my foot. does that make them kill people for fun? all i know is that they are both killers!

AjanleKoko: Very big congratulations to Abi for his return. A big one for him, and for footie. Returning to active sport after an organ transplant is definitely a unique story.

Also, big ups to Cesc for being the first player to score a hat-trick for FCB since Keita in 2009. That is, the first player who wasn't Messi . Also the first Spanish player since Luis Enrique in 2001 to score a hat-trick for FCB. Nice one

Really? anyways,i enjoyed tonight's match,it was a joy to behold that without most of our first 11, we could still score 5 and not just that, also maintained a CLEAN sheet. Good to also see Sanchez scoring a brace and Cesc doing a 3 with a perfect combo with Sanchez. very pleased!

lol, see them wan dey fight for oil as usual, that part of the country just discovered a curse called oil and the effect of the curse is about to start manifesting..

Oil=curse=bloodshed!

uhmm.. Pdp southern militia arm in action. Pdp, keep killing our security men o. Keep destroying Nigeria o.

Btw, what's the difference between MEND and BOKO HARAM again?

Aighty!

deols: Lol. I am Nigerian and I wear hijab

But the lady on the pix could pass as a Nigerian too na, so you're yet to answer me.

deols: Does it ,matter?

Tell me na

Pataki: I am not even a fan of Tinubu, but it is quite commendable that his words ruffle the feathers of PDP.

We now have 2 powerful people that sends fear into the heart of PDP

Gen Buhari
Tinubu

we need thousands more

Prettywoman: If it is true,it means ,there will be a big gap down when market opens on sunday

Good, then we can buy back up until the next JPY news

1025: assuming abacha was the only criminal has and he died since 1998, HOW FAR HAS NIGERIA GONE SINCE THEN? why is this noise always about abacha? are they saying he is the only stealing idiot that has ruled nigeria? where and how has nigeria improved from the funds recovered from the abachas so far? what is the need of making all these noises here and there when other idiots will still steal the funds? why is no money been recovered from ibb, abubaka, obasanjo, yar adua and even this ijaw man whose wife did wonders in bayelsa?
nigeria is beginning to sound to stupiiiiid for my liking.
looting and stealing of public funds in nigeria is illegally legal and as such, i see no reason why nigerians are collecting these funds from the family or is this another version of partial and selective justice?

Biography :

Sani Abacha (September 20 1943- June 8 ,1998), was a military ruler of Nigeria from 1993 to 1998.


General Sani Abacha, military officer and Nigerian head of state, was born on 20th September 1943 in Kano, Kano State in Nigeria. Abacha attended school in his home state before joining the army and enrolling at the Nigerian Military Training College in Kaduna (1962-63). He obtained further military training in the United Kingdom at Mons Defense Cadet College, Aldershot in 1963 and the School of Infantry at Warminster in 1966 and 1971. Abacha fought in the Nigerian civil war that started in 1967. By 1975, he had obtained the rank of colonel. Abacha later attended the Command Staff College at Jaji (1976) and the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies at Kuru (1981). As brigadier, Abacha travelled to Monterrey, California, USA to take an international defense course in 1982.

A member of the military elite, Abacha was involved in the overthrow of elected president Shedu Shagari,Muhammadu Buhari and the installation of as a military ruler in December 1983. Abacha announced the change in government via television and radio broadcasts marking the beginning of his public prominence. Unusually for a military officer, Abacha had held no political position up until this time. By 1984, Abacha was a member of the Supreme Military Council (SMC) with the rank of major general. Abacha also participated in the ouster of Buhari two years later in another military coup that brought General Ibrahim Babangida to power in 1985. Abacha became both a member of the Armed Forces Ruling Council (formerly the SMC) and Chief of Army Staff in the same year. Abacha assumed the de facto second most powerful person in Nigeria usurping the official deputy position of Chief of General Staff held by Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe. He presided as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1989 before he assumed the post of Minister of Defense in August 1990. In 1992, Abacha was made a full general.

Abacha's role in the Babangida regime is not clear. Some speculate that he was the actual political force behind that government as well as a prominent associate of the president. In February 1993, Abacha delivered an important speech at the Murtala Muhammad Annual Lecture outlining the government's commitment to the end of military rule and democratic reform. Babangida permitted free elections in Nigeria in June 1993. When it appeared that candidate and Yoruba businessman, Chief Moshood Abiola, had won, Babangida nullified the results. During this political upset, Abacha staged his own coup. In November, Abacha assumed power as the head of state replacing the quasi-civilian interim government that followed Babangida. He became both President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Early in his presidency, Abacha dissolved all civilian democratic institutions at national and state levels and replaced government and elected officials with military officers. A provisional ruling council of senior army officers, of which he was chairman, was formed. Unofficial political parties and any form of political opposition were suppressed including the pro-democracy movement the National Democratic Coalition. The new and as yet unimplemented constitution crafted in 1989 was abandoned. Abacha's regime enforced its rule through the arrest, imprisonment and execution of dissenters, press censorship and the development of a police state. Amongst the more notable individuals detained by the regime were Chief Abiola, the would-be head of state who died in prison in July 1998; former head of state Olusegun Obasanjo; and environmentalist and journalist Ken Saro-Wiwa who was executed in 1995 despite intense international demand for his release. Saro-Wiwa was killed with eight other Ogoni colleagues from Nigeria's oil rich region who objected to the government's oil policies. Abacha's control of the army was maintained by purging army officers. A former vice president and army officer, Shehu Musa Yar'Adua, was also to die, in prison, in 1997.

Abacha's regime was resistant to both internal and international insistence on human rights reforms, seemingly unaffected by the impact of international sanctions, diplomatic isolation, United Nation's condemnation and Nigeria's suspension from the Commonwealth. Abacha seldom travelled or made public appearances, but when he did was never seen without his trademark dark sunglasses and a throng of soldiers from the 2000 to 3000 strong Special Bodyguard Unit. In 1998, the last year of his life and rule, Abacha appeared from seclusion [/b]to greet Pope John Paul II when he arrived on a visit to Nigeria. Abacha also met and held talks with Palestinian Leader Yasser Arafat in the same year.

[b]In 1995, Abacha announced a programme to return Nigeria to civilian rule by October 1998 and elections were planned for August of that year. Abacha died unexpectedly, officially of a heart attack but other rumours persisted, in Lagos in the preceding June. The election outcome would have been foretold as the only five sanctioned political parties had declared him as their sole candidate. General Abacha was quickly replaced by a close colleague General Abdulsalam Abubaker, who himself was succeeded by elected president and former Abacha detainee, Olusegun Obasanjo.

Abacha died at age 54 of a heart attack at his villa, allegedly from cardiac strain brought on by the use of Viagra; other reports maintain that he died from eating a poisoned apple. He was said to have been in the company of Indian prostitutes at the time of his death. Subsequent investigations of Abacha's regime by the Obasanjo government have implicated the deceased general and his family in wholesale looting of Nigeria's coffers, and the extent of his venality seems to have surpassed that of even that other African ruler most notorious for his corruption, Mobutu Sese Seko.

Abacha was given a Muslim burial in his home city of Kano. He was succeeded by his wife Maryam Jidah and his ten children.


In 1999, the Nigerian Federal Government began efforts to recover the stolen funds. Mohammad Abacha, the late president's eldest son was arrested on related charges of fraud, money laundering and embezzlement and for the murder of Chief Abiola's wife, Alhaja Kudirat. Later, a deal was struck between the Nigerian government and the Abacha family in which all criminal proceedings against Mohammad were dropped in return for eighty percent of the family's liquid assets. It has been reported that the Abacha family has been allowed to retain $100 million of the looted money as part of a protracted settlement.

Obasanjo started the whole thing, maybe he should tell us where these monies they have recovered so far are being kept for the benefits of Nigerians.

deols: I am joining at this ..muslim women do not need anyone to tell them how to live their lives. We are happy with our Islam and with our Hijab.

We are not faces and bodies to be seen and used by others at will. We are intellectuals, brave and everything good.
