Nairaland's server was taken down by our host's abuse team because of an abuse report that wasn't attended to on time.
After rectifying the error, we brought the server back for a few minutes, but they decided to take the server down again. Since then, we haven't heard from the abuse team, yet the support team keeps insisting that only the abuse team can help us.
So we had to transfer Nairaland to a temporary host in order to bring it back to you. A VERY time-consuming process. We are not fully back, even though most features of the site are working. We still have a long way to go. Additional downtime is likely; don't let it alarm you.
There's a lot more to say, but I have to go back to work to ensure that our return is permanent. Please forgive us for the stress we caused. We appreciate the love and support that you showed us during the ordeal. Nairaland is too important for us to let this happen again.
Best Regards, Seun Osewa.
Welcome back Nairaland, for the past 2 - 3days I have been reading from Linda but not really enjoying it like nairaland may be because of its simplicity or comment sah.
waynetee: Issa is used by Muslims, while Jesus is used by Christians. Thats the difference. Nigeria Muslims will never name their mosque Jesus , they will rather name it Issa
will Christians ever name their church Mohammad church?

References: STATEMENT ON THE RETURN OF THE ABACHA STOLEN MILLIONS FROM THE UNITED STATES AND JERSEY
On Monday, May 4, 2020, some $311 million US Dollars - stolen from the citizens of Nigeria during the Abacha regime - were safely returned to our country from the United States.
These funds have already been allocated, and will be used in full, for vital and decades-overdue infrastructure development: The second Niger Bridge, the Lagos-Ibadan and Abuja-Kaduna-Kano expressways - creating tens of thousands of Nigerian construction jobs and local skills, which can then be useful in future projects.
Part of the funds will also be invested in the Mambilla Power Project which, when completed, will provide electricity to some three million homes - over ten million citizens - in our country.
The receipt of these stolen monies - and the hundreds of millions more that have already been returned from the United Kingdom and Switzerland - are an opportunity for the development of our nation, made far harder for those decades the country was robbed of these funds.
Indeed, previous monies returned last year from Switzerland - some $320 million US dollars - are already being used for the government’s free school feeding scheme, a stipend for millions of disadvantaged citizens, and grain grants for those in severe food hardship.
Without these funds, the fight against Covid-19 would be even tougher.
The latest return is a testament to the growing and deepening relationship between the government of Nigeria and the government of the United States.
Without the cooperation both from the UK Government, the US Executive branch and US Congress, we would not have achieved the return of these funds at all.
For years many countries deemed successive Nigerian administrations as too corrupt, too venal and too likely to squander and re-steal the stolen monies - so they did not return the funds.
Today, US, UK and other jurisdictions have found the partnership with the nation of Nigeria they can finally trust.
The Buhari Administration is committed to - and is enacting - total and zero tolerance to corruption in politics and public administration.
The days when government was seen and used by the political class as their personal ATM to empty are over.
The time of better governance and clean hands in the affairs of state is here to stay.

Get it right, the ruling of burial in Islam is not within 24hr is maximum of 3days in case the deceased people are not around or other important things can delay the burial not more than 3days.

cheapgoals: Names in club football is as important as the Club itself as it stands as a means of identification and branding, a sense of belonging for fans. Generally, across the world, clubs are named after the city they are based or the owner, sometimes companies and in the new world of sponsorship deals and partnerships, clubs are now named by the companies they have dealt with.
The City of Manchester is more famous for its two rival clubs in the EPL, same for FC Barcelona and the rivals in the capital city of Madrid which houses Atletico [/b]and [b] Real Madrid. Also, Red Bull, an energy drink manufacturing company has clubs in Germany (RB Leipzig), Austria (RB Salzburg), Brazil (RB Brasil) etc, to show how deep sponsorship deals have gone in club identification.
In Nigeria, the case is not different as clubs are majorly named after States and cities, due to the non-existence of sponsorship deals in the league, private clubs are majorly named after their proprietors or cities based and most recently clubs are getting owned by churches thus leading to clubs named after churches.
However, amidst some pretty cool names like some names that would make you stop and think again and sometimes spark a smile and once in a while, short laughter. The State finals of the Aiteo Cup held across the country brought up names which makes one wonder the level of creativity or the none existence of it while considering names of clubs.
Here we take a look at some of the funniest names we found in the state FA cup and the local leagues.
Box to Box FC
Location: Lagos Level: Non-league
Yes, you saw that right, Box to Box FC, understandable that the FA permits club owners to use any names they prefer without any laid down guidelines or rules but this sounds like a name coined out of disinterest to think deep in creating a name for a football club.
“Basically football is played from your box to the opponent’s box in search of a goal, it’s a box to box game“- this is me trying to imagine the explanation whoever coined the name will try to give if probed. Or maybe he was staring at a pack of boxes while thinking of a name- who knows?! *Shrugs*
More interestingly, they literally and practically “boxed” MFM FC in the Lagos State FA Cup final clinching the title with a 2-1 victory. I don’t know which is more interesting, the nature of their victory or the nature of their name!
Qutar Waters
Location: Borno State Level: Non-league
Now this name sounds like a country or more logical, the name of a River in Borno (I wonder if there is any at all) then the only other meaningful explanation I could give to this after serious research is that maybe it’s actually a “pure-–” sorry, Sachet water company that owns and runs the club.
Other than that, I wonder what else it could mean, maybe a trip to Borno will shed more light on this name, however as i have a busy schedule the trip will be postponed until “further” notice.
Confine FC
Location: Ikot Ekpene, Akwa Ibom Level: Nationwide League One
Seriously? Confine FC? Ok good, according to an online dictionary “Confine” means “To restrict; to keep within bounds; to shut or keep in a limited space or area”.
This Got me wondering if the person who named the Club was “Grounded” or in a police cell while naming the club. Ikot FC would have been better, isn’t it? Whose with me?
Rarara FC
Location: Katsina Level: Nigeria National League
Rarara what? Okay “Rarara” in Yoruba is roughly translated to “No No No“, used to show refusal of a suggestion, of all the names on the list, this seems to be the least creative of all, I mean the owner basically repeated two letters twice, he could as well have repeated the letters 7 times.
I guess it’s beyond my understanding the logic behind picking this as a club name. I wonder what Rarara means in Hausa or Igbo. A similar name is Malumfashi FC but the fact that it is named after a local government in Katsina state saves it from further backlash but then for the sake of broadcasters who may bite their tongues while attempting a pronunciation, they should have done better with the naming.
Go Round FC
Location: Omoku (River) Level: NPFL
You never thought NPFL club sides would have their tables shaken, did you? But anyone ever wondered what made a certain club owner name his team “Go Round“, I wonder what he means by the statement “Go Round”, who he is directing to move in circles and what he should go round?
Oops my bad, actually forgotten that “Go Round” is now a noun.
God Deliver Me Bible Church FC
Location: Ogun Level: Non-League
This is a club side that could turn a sports show to a religious program without fuss. In as much as the team is owned by a church, there are better options which would still show a hint of the religious owner. This sounds more like a prayer point than a name.
At least there are alternative short religious names that can be used, e.g “Saints FC“, remember Welsh league Champions The New Saints“(TNS), however, God Deliver Me when abbreviated is still as awkward as ever and not as awesome as (TNS), pronounce[b] GDMBC[/b] interesting isn’t it?
It’s not limited to Nigeria Dundee United sounds like a team of retards in Nigeria. “Always Ready FC” in Bolivia; Every team should always be ready to play football so it is therefore sensible to have it as your team name as well as a mantra.
In Zimbabwe there is a club named Triangle FC [/b]as well as [b]Chicken Inn; Unsurprisingly, this club is named after its sponsor, a fast food chain. But money buys success, and the club became national champions in 2015
Naughty Boys; I really don’t know how the naming process works for Botswanan football teams but I imagine for this team it went something on the lines of, “you are a boisterous lot, therefore you will be called naughty boys”?
Hafnarfjordur FC is a club you would not want to call without the fear of biting your tongue.
Any other funny named football club, home or abroad that you know,please drop it in the comments section. Let's have fun..
Lukgaf: The Ikere Gorge Dam is a major earth-fill dam in Iseyin local government area of Oyo State in the south west of Nigeria on the Ogun River. Reservoir capacity is 690 million m3. The dam was initiated by the military regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo and started in 1983 by the administration of Shehu Shagari. The dam was planned to generate 37.5 MW of electricity, to supply water to local communities and to Lagos and to irrigate 12,000 hectares of land. Built in 1982/1983, work on the dam was abandoned by subsequent military governments. A report for the UN in 2004 said that no irrigation had taken place so far, but efforts were being made to implement one of the five planned irrigation projects. The project was based on the sprinkler system which is difficult to manage and requires that the farmers be trained. (Wikipedia)
Very unfortunate, the dam has since abandoned with no work started on it. Reports have it that all equipment necessary for generating the hydro power for the benefit of the citizens are deployed there already over past two decades and can take just only 3 months for completion.
The dam can provide over 1000 direct job through fishing. The dam if judiciously use can serve as irrigation for over 12,000 hectares of land among others uses. See the video for more uses of the dam if resurrected.
We call on the Federal Government of Nigeria, Oyo state Government & Ministers of Power, work and Agriculture to see to this.
The last time I visited the Dam i weep for this country, the deplorable state of the equipments put in place already or how wasteful the dam just be for years among many things like that. And the fact that it's almost in finishing state make the situation worse ....
chiefhead007: Isn't Ikere in Ekiti state? OP made a mistake, it's actually "Okere" not "Ikere". And it's located in oke Ogun area of Oyo state (iseyin).
it's actually ikere just has different pronunciation with the ikere of Ekiti. It is actually located in my town (Iseyin)
myselftrend: New report has confirmed that the ‘OurMumuDonDO’ movement is planning to launch a ‘formal inquiry’ into the allegations of bribery against the convener of the group, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa ‘Charly Boy.
This new development comes hours after an audio recording went viral which suggested that Charly Boy acknowledged that he did collect money from Festus Keyamo, spokesperson of President Muhammadu Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation in the 2019 presidential election.
Via a statement on Thursday, Adebayo Raphael, the movement’s National Secretary, an apology was tendered to the public.
“Fellow Nigerians, I wish to say that it has become extremely important that I react to the sordid developments that have recently emerged in the OurMumuDonDo Movement,” read the statement.
“Firstly, I must confess that I am utterly disappointed by the audio recording that went viral between last night and this morning, of a conversation between the present Chairman of the group; Mr. Charles Oputa, and a former member, Mr. Deji Adeyanju, where the former is alleged to have confessed to his dealings with the regime of General Muhammad Buhari and the APC while the latter was languishing in Kano Central Prisons.
“It is with a heavy and pertinent heart that I offer an unreserved apology, on behalf of myself and the other members of the OurMumuDonDo Movement, to the Nigerian people who we have hitherto proclaimed to represent in all our actions and activities as a pressure group for the last three years. My sincere hope is that you all will view this development as a necessary event needed to sanitise our civic space and reinvigorate our collective commitment to the struggle for social change.
“Secondly, I must inform the general public that the OurMumuDonDo Movement will now commence a formal inquiry into the body of allegations that have been made public in recent days, and the most appropriate decision will be determined by the Board of Trustees in line with the group’s constitution.
“In conclusion, I would like to emphasise that the purpose for which OurMumuDonDo Movement was founded has not changed. If there are black sheep in the group, working against the group’s objectives, we will find out and deal with them accordingly. Thank You.”

BiafranBushBoy: The basic aim of every university graduate is to get a job after school and become comfortable in life. The job is key to earning a certain amount of income monthly and using it to better your life.
That way you can afford to buy what you want and things you need. A little pleasure shouldn’t be far from entering into your budget. But the problem is the fact that unemployment has killed that hope of coming out of school and getting a job almost immediately.
In a country of almost 180 million people, the competition to get a job has become so intense. Is there a way out to earn a monthly income without going through the conventional route of applying for a job, going for interviews, and hoping to get employed?
The answer is yes!
How exactly can you achieve that?
I will show you in few steps.
How to create your own job from Home
Please be advised that every single method here boils down to something legal. Under no circumstance should you use these tactics for anything illegal? So how exactly can you set up your own job from home?
Get a Laptop
For those who don’t have a laptop, this should be your first point of action. Most laptops are cheaper than the phones you have in your hand. If you don’t have the money to get a laptop, Alabian Solutions which is one of the best ICT schools can provide you with a temporal laptop to learn any skill of your choice.
For those who have a laptop already and using it to just watch movies all day, it is time to get serious. Once you have a laptop, you have achieved 40% of the assignment.
Have a Good Skill
A friend named Emmanuel who is a graduate of Political science makes more than 400,000 Naira monthly just by being self-employed from home. This isn’t rocket science – because, by this same time last year, he was still roaming the streets of Lagos searching for a job till I told him what he needed to do and he did it.
I told him to enroll and learn any of the courses below;
- Software Development (Java, PHP, Python) - Mobile Application Development
It was difficult at first, till he decided to take the bull by the horn. He enrolled in a school and started learning until he graduated.
A few months later, he got a job that would enable work from home. Aside from that, he registered on Fiverr (a freelancing website) and started helping white men develop software and mobile Applications.
Right now he earns over 400,000 monthly with a high potential for growth. Are you still without a job? You can also try out this method – I know it will work.
I recommended the above skill because it is currently the hottest skill in the job market right now and it is so lucrative. Don’t miss out on it.
Register on Upwork/Fiverr
Even without selling my Software Development skills on Fiverr, I still make more than $700 monthly on Fiverr. I am still polishing my Software Development skills before I decide to launch it.
Once you have completed your training as a software developer, your chances of becoming a millionaire become so high as a seller on Fiverr.
You will have so many jobs to do that you will start employing other professionals to help you out. The potentials are limitless – are you ready to join the bandwagon?
Apply for Remote Jobs
The only people who have the license to work from home are mostly the ICT guys. There are several jobs that require you to work from home in Nigeria, but you must have the right skills.
You can visit several job sites like I have stated in the past and search out for jobs like that. They are too numerous to mention.
It is as simple as stated, so just go ahead and learn the right skills. Once you have done that, lots of opportunities will be presented to you.
Till next time, see you and have a blessed day.
If you are interested in learning software development, I can guide you. This is for those in Lagos only.
blezzy080: I'm so angry right now! Just so you know INEC is part of our problem in this country. They had good 4years to prepare for this election but the cretins had the temerity to come out and tell Nigerians that election has been postponed in less than 5hrs to election. People have decided to close their shops just because of this election. What about people that already traveled down to their state? You expect them to stay back for a whole week? Will INEC put food on there table? Later they will say Nigerians dont vote. This will definitely reduce the numbers of voters.
If they like make them postpone it till next year we will still vote them out. We will still vote for Atiku! Say no lifelessness!
why you people blaming inec, is not about inec at all but people controlling them, if they tell them to start tomorrow now they will, they are just dancing to the tone of their oga at the top...
ManirBK: Lack of external infrastructure is the reason why Ajaokuta Steel Company is yet to start operations, the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Abubakar Bawa Bwari, has said. The minister was speaking at a press briefing on the three years’ accounts and stewardship of the ministry held in Abuja, yesterday.
“Ajaokuta is 98% completed. Everything is in place and we have our workers there that are maintaining the place. The remaining two percent has to do with external infrastructure. We need waterways. We need viable ports and so on. Government is putting all these things in place now,” he stated. He continued: “Even if it was completed 100% it would not be able to operate. If we are to bring in all the raw materials required from Itakpe, like the iron concentrate required, you need 750 trucks travelling each day to feed Ajaokuta. Imagine 750 trucks on Ajaokuta-Itakpe road daily. The road will be bad in one week.
“So, what we have done is that we have completed the road link from Ajaokuta, Itakpe Warri ports. For Baro, it will soon be commissioned. We are trying to fix the infrastructure that will make Ajaokuta work,” the minister said. He said many investors have indicated interest in taking over Ajaokuta, including investors who want to fix those infrastructure, adding “Ajaokuta will work.’’ The said under President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s strategic interventions from 2016, the mining sector has witnessed a steady rise in its contribution to the nation’s GDP from 0.33% in 2015 to 0.6% in 2016. “Overall, the revenue generated by the ministry from royalties and fees has improved from N2.08 billion in 2015 to N3.92 billion in 2017 and N2.97 billion as at October 2018. Limestone mining has continued to lead in royalties earned by government,” he added. He said within the period under review, the Mining Cadastre Office (MCO) has realized the sum of N5.2 billion as revenue generated through processing and other licensing fees.https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/why-ajaokuta-steel-hasnt-started-operation-fg.html?
Ajaokuta all the time, how many of you notice that there are some projects that we have been hearing since time immemorial, like second Niger bridge, this Ajaokuta, Electricity... All these project them no they finish
akelicious: Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) has charged telecommunication service providers to adhere to certain key performance indicators it has set for improved service delivery.
The zonal controller in Enugu State, Emilia Nwokoro, stated this at the third episode of this year’s Consumer Conversation Forum (CCF) in Anambra State. According to her, NCC has set more parameters in dealing with service issues, particularly with respect to call drop rates, call completion rates, data services, charges and other poor network quality-related issues.
Nwokoro pointed out that last May, NCC directed service providers to desist from forceful/automatic renewal of data services and activation/subscription to data and value-added services without prior consent of subscribers in form of a clear request by a subscriber via short message service (SMS), Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) or e-mail.
She added that NCC, to protect consumers from the menace of unsolicited text messages/calls, directed all mobile network operators to dedicate a short code ‘2442’ to enable consumers make informed decision on what messages they wish to receive.“The 2442 ‘Do-Not-Disturb’ short code is activated for consumers who wish to stop unsolicited text messages and voice calls.
“Sending ‘STOP’ to 2442 would activate the full ‘Do Not Disturb’ service that would prevent any unsolicited text message, while sending ‘HELP’ to 2442 would send a list of codes that would allow a customer make an informed choice on the category of message to receive. Twenty-four hours has been allowed for the consumer’s specific choice to become effective,” she noted.
NCC are just talking, we all need not to blame all these telecoms, they are trying hard to make things easy for us, imagine the cost of everything presently has tripled still we are buying #100 recharge card. Going by Nigeria present economic do you think we should by now still have access to #100 card and #1000 monthly subscription.�
