Most Expensive Wedding Ever In History – Photos From Sultan of Brunei’s Son’s wedding
Sultan of Brunei was once the richest man in the world. He was toppled many years ago by Bill Gates but he’s still loaded and one of the richest men in the world. The youngest child, 31 year old Prince Abdul Malik, who is the second in line to become the next Sultan, got married today to 22 year old Data Analyst DayangkuHaji Bolkiah in a spectacular ceremony at the monarch’s 1,788-room palace in Brunei’s capital, Bandar Seri Begawan.
The billionaire monarch went all out for this wedding. The bride and groom wore gold outfits with diamonds. The bride’s shoes were made with extra diamonds and she carried a bouquet made of gems rather than flower. Her tiara, necklace, brooch, bracelet and ring are all made of diamonds, studded with emeralds. See the photos after the cut…

PoliticsBODY LANGUAGE OF Tambuwal-gej. Is Absent by hydoo(op): 1:25pm On Sep 29, 2014
former governors Ahmed Sani, Bukola Saraki and Abdullahi Adamu, Abubakar Kawu Baraje and Chief Audu Ogbeh are the most prominent guests? I will not blame anyone who says, “An APC rally!”  
Some quick qualifiers to this correct answer. The venue of weekend’s event at which these political gurus congregated, the Sultan’s palace in Sokoto, is not a venue for political rallies. But then, no ground is off limits to a Nigerian politician seeking for votes. Not the Grand Mosque in Mecca, not St Peter’s Basilica in Rome and not the Okija Shrine so the turbaning of a new Mutawallen Sokoto cannot be an exception.  You don’t expect so many APC chieftains to congregate at a social occasion unless they believe their party comrade is being honoured and the event will advance their party’s interest. They are right except that the man being honoured, Speaker of the House of Representatives Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, is officially a PDP member. Underline the word officially.
In fact, a few of his PDP mates were present at the occasion in Sokoto, at great political risk to themselves. Deputy House Speaker Emeka Ihedioha, who is passionately chasing a PDP governorship ticket, will plead to PDP bosses that he attended only because Tambuwal is his boss. Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, who also has governorship ambitions, will plead to PDP bosses that the Senate is the House’s legislative sibling so he should be excused for attending an APC occasion. Apart from these two, no PDP bigwig, local or national, attended the event. Though President Jonathan was touted as the special guest of honour, he neither attended nor sent a representative.
What message do you read from all these? The  body language of Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, which has the complexity as well as precision of a honey bee’s waffle dance, is right now very fascinating in Nigerian politics. In three short years Tambuwal rose from the parliamentary backbenches to become one of the most potent politicians in Nigeria. He has much cross regional appeal, much media respect and almost no taint in the murky water that is Nigerian politics.
Tambuwal is regularly mentioned in the media as a likely APC presidential candidate even though he never publicly declared for the party. How does one become a frontrunner in a party’s race without ever declaring for that party? Partly because, as any keen observer can see, APC is headed for a rough time in the choice of its presidential candidate, which must be done by early December. The three big masquerades in the field are General Buhari, Atiku Abubakar and Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso. Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha is also interested. Each of these four men has some strengths but some noticeable political drawbacks as well. APC’s state governors [once 16 in number but will be down to 14 in December] could be the biggest force to determine who gets the nomination. The biggest bloc within that bloc is the Yoruba governors, and this is the bloc most sympathetic to the Speaker.
PDP’s bosses have over the years driven Tambuwal into the warm embrace of ACN-APC chieftains because they never forgave him for becoming the speaker against their expressed wishes. In truth, Tambuwal was not the first PDP man to rise to a major position in the National Assembly with the backing of opposition lawmakers. In 1999 Chuba Okadigbo was supported by a majority of PDP senators but President Obasanjo drafted AD senators to join the PDP minority and elect Evan Enwerem as Senate President.
Parties don’t often remember their own history. Dr Goodluck Jonathan’s accidental rise to the Presidency in 2010 necessitated a revision of the zoning formula worked out by the party in 2007. The speakership was awarded to the South West and the region’s PDP leaders led by Obasanjo anointed Mrs Mulikat Akande for the post. But then, out of the blues, a cross-party movement sprang up in the House of Representatives intent on choosing their own leaders irrespective of party zoning arrangements. Tambuwal headed the movement or at least, was chosen as its main beneficiary.
Several books could be written about the efforts that PDP leaders made in 2011 to stop Tambuwal’s rise to the speakership. Heading the effort at the time was Vice President Namadi Sambo. Presidential jets went to Sokoto several times and ferried Governor Aliyu Wamakko to Abuja. He was told to talk Tambuwal out of the race. Wamakko himself could not find Tambuwal who had gone underground. He only emerged at the Assembly’s first session camouflaged in a sharp suit with a Niger Delta style hat. He entered the House chamber commando style, surrounded by 30 other members.
Tambuwal’s rise to the speakership signalled the beginning of Wamakko’s problems in PDP. The party leaders thought he did not try hard enough to stop Tambuwal. Maybe they were right; Wamakko is a politician with an uncommon ear to the political ground and a hound’s smell of what the grassroots want. It would be political suicide to stop your kinsman from becoming the Speaker in order to please party bosses in Abuja when it could attract benefits to the state.
As indeed it did to Wamakko himself. If Tambuwal had not been the speaker in 2011 the presidency and PDP national leaders could have denied Wamakko a return ticket in the governorship election of early 2012. All the talk that time was that the well connected Senator Abubakar Gada was anointed by Aso Rock to take over PDP’s ticket but the Speaker proved to be too much of a counterweight. In one notorious instance, Gada got the Police Inspector General to send a special team to Sokoto to arrest eight of Wamakko’s commissioners on the grounds that they defamed him. Midway into their journey, the Speaker got on phone to the IG and insisted that the accused men should be interviewed instead in the Sokoto State Attorney General’s office [incidentally, that’s Tambuwal’s classmate and close friend Inuwa Abdulkadir, now APC’s North West vice chairman]. The policemen never showed up. Last year, when PDP’s leadership under Bamanga Tukur suspended Wamakko from the party, Tambuwal led House members from Sokoto to a solidarity rally where he declared that the governor was their leader.
There were many other occasions in which Tambuwal’s body language differed very markedly from the Presidency’s. Such as when emergency rule was declared in three North East states. President Jonathan told National Assembly leaders that he intended to remove the affected governors and state assemblies. Tambuwal, once a private legal practitioner, retorted that the Constitution did not permit that. Not long afterwards, the Speaker led the House to expunge a provision in the state of emergency proclamation allowing Jonathan to take control of funds accruable to the three states to finance security operations.
The Speaker once said the government is not doing enough to curtail the Boko Haram insurgency. On another occasion, he said President Jonathan’s body language encourages corruption. It is also noticeable that Speaker Tambuwal long since stopped attending PDP functions, not even the rally in Sokoto to welcome former governor Attahiru Bafarawa into the party which Jonathan personally attended. Instead, he finds time to attend many functions organised by APC governors, especially in the South West.
Now, while everyone is talking about Tambuwal as a very attractive prospect for President, he is simultaneously looking across the terrain at the governorship of Sokoto State. I will not know if there is a deal between Wamakko and Tambuwal. I will not be surprised if there is. Wamakko’s political camp is very large and he has many loyal aides and associates angling to succeed him as governor. However, none of them could match the Speaker’s national visibility and charisma. He might decide to take the path of least resistance and go for the governorship of Sokoto State. On APC’s ticket, of course.
Christianity EtcSorry Dad, I Quit Christianity For Good — Charity-turned-aisha by hydoo(op): 8:40am On Sep 06, 2014
Charity Uzoechima, the 26-year-old girl who converted
to Islam and kept in the palace of Etsu Nupe, Alhaji
Yahaya Abubakar, for “safety” for three months, is in the
news again.
Her fate and whereabouts since July last year when she
was brought to Government House, Minna, Niger State
for reconciliation with her parents had not been known
until days ago when she was said to be prepared and
almost given out in marriage to a Muslim lawyer without
the consent of her parents.
The last time she was brought to public glare was July
3,2013 in Government House, Minna.
She was not alone on that day. Her parents, Pastor and
Mrs. Raymond Uzoechima; their lawyer, Femi Ikotun; the
National Secretary of Christian Association of Nigeria
(CAN), Dr. Musa Atake; CAN Chairman, Niger State, Rev.
Musa Dada; and immediate past governor of the state,
Engr, Abdulkadir Kure; among other stake holders, were
at the peace meeting held at Government House, Minna
on that day with the deputy governor, Alhaji Musa Ibeto,
presiding.
The purpose was to reconcile Charity with her family. But
the reconcilation failed due to a pending court case that
compelled Charity to remain in Etsu Nupe’s palace until
the case was discontinued.
The deputy governor said after the meeting that the
issue at hand was not religion but how to settle the case
out of court amicably.
“We believe that the issue at hand is not the religion
Charity should practice but how the case should be
settled out of court amicably and get the girl reconciled
with her parents,” Ibeto remarked. Charity’s father,
Uzoechima, had filed a case on July 15, 2013, praying the
court to bar the Sharia Court from entertaining a suit
filed by his daughter on the grounds that the court
lacked competence and jurisdiction to hear the suit.
Charity, now Aisha, had dragged her father to Sharia
court, Bida, seeking its protection from the father over
her conversion from Christianity to Islam in order to
exercise her new faith without hindrance.
Meanwhile, the lady was withdrawn from the Etsu
Nupe’s palace and kept in the deputy governor’s house
where she was said to have been residing.
However, arrangements were said to have been made
to give Charity out in marriage according to Islamic
injunctions to a Muslim brother, said to be a lawyer.
The secret plan was allegedly halted only hours to the
wedding when a letter was written by the National body
of CAN to its Niger State wing to investigate the matter
and make its findings available to appropriate quaters.
Niger State CAN Chairman, Dada, was said to have
alerted the state Commissioner for Religious Affairs and
the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice on
the development, seeking to know what led to the
Charity’s proposed wedding especially without the
consent of the stakeholders especially the parents of the
lady.
The Commissioners, it was gathered, could not give
satisfactory answer and the matter was taken before the
deputy governor, Ibeto, for intervention.
The stage was allegedly set for the wedding on a Friday
with Imams and other Muslim clerics in attendance when
Governor. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, after being consulted
about the development ordered that the wedding should
be aborted.
The aborted marriage has generated questions from
different stake holders. What is the fate of Charity? For
how long would she remain in “custody”? would have
collected her dowry and on whose permission would
have the marriage been contracted?
Charity was admitted to Federal Polytechnic, Bida, Niger
State in 2012 to read public administration but converted
to Islam along the line and could not accomplish her
academic pursuit.
In an exclusive telephone conversation with her last year
on the issue, the lady called on Nigerians to leave her
alone to practice the religion of her choice, pointing out
that nobody forced her into the religion and she should
be left to carry her cross alone.
“I did it on my own. Nobody forced me into it. Am I the
first to convert to Muslim in Nigeria?
I know it is people that are pushing my father and I am
praying for him and other members of my family to know
that this is the right religion,” she remarked.
On whether she would like to follow her father back
home if the matter was amicably settled, Charity insisted
that she was afraid going back with the parents for fear
of being killed.
“I am not going back to my father because of his actions.
He had been threatening me. But at my age, I am free
to practice any religion of my choice and so, I should be
left to decide,” Charity declared.
Efforts to get in touch with her parents on the latest
development proved abortive.
Our correspondent reliably gathered that the state
government may be forced to contract the wedding
between Charity and her groom with or without the
consent of her parents and family members.

CelebritiesPHOTOS:3 Richest Nigerian Footballers And Their Mansions by hydoo(op): 10:55am On Jul 25, 2014

Check out the list of the top three richest footballers in Nigeria:

JOHN MIKEL OBI
According to various sources, Chelsea midfielder, John Mikel Obi, is currently the highest earning Nigerian footballer. He joined Chelsea in 2006 from Norwegian club Fc Lyn Oslo on a US$25 million. He is currently on US$120,000,(N20m), per week excluding bonuses, and income from participating at the UEFA Champions League.

The 25-year-old Jos born player owns mansions in Jos, Lagos and London worth about N800m. What is more, he owns shares in top companies and has recently launched a record label.

Chelsea star once said that it is very hard for him to find a wife. Why won’t it be with all that cash…

OBAFEMI MARTINS
He’s been everywhere. The on loan UD Levante of Spain forward has played for top clubs like Inter-Milan of Italy, Newcastle united of England , Birmingham City of England, Vfl Wolfsborg of Germany , Rubin Kazan of Russia and currently Seatle Sounders in the US.

Obafemi Martins is the fifth highest paid player in US Major League Soccer for the 2013 season, according to a players’ union release.

The 28-year-old striker has 2 mansions at VGC Lagos worth N500 million, a massive home in Como, Italy valued at N800 Million, and top hotels in Italy.

He has recently spent N400million on his charity foundation.

YAKUBU AIYEGBENI
Yak, as he is popularly called, is still widely considered the most successful Nigerian footballer to play in England.

His assets include a mansion on Manchester Road, London, a duplex in VGC, 2 massive buildings in Benin city and hotels in Auchi,Edo State.

The former Boro man owns a petrol station in Benin City which is run by his brother Momo Aiyegbeni. In his garage back home in Nigeria are a fleet of cars including a Range Rover and a BMW.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: 15 Amazing Facts About The Champions League by hydoo(op): 7:01am On Jul 22, 2014
#1 One-City-Final
In the past there have been four finals involving teams
from the same country. In 2000, Real defeated Valencia
at Paris' Stade de France with a score 3-0; in 2003 Milan
beat Juventus by penalties; in 2008 in Moscow MU
defeated Chelsea; and Bavaria won the game with
Dortmund Borussia - 2:1 in 2013. But for the first time in
the history of the Champions League, the teams who met
in the final, were from the same city.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: 15 Amazing Facts About The Champions League by hydoo(op): 6:58am On Jul 22, 2014
#3 The Team Which Played in the Most Finals
If to take the whole history of the European Champions
Cup, the Italian clubs played in finals 26 times. They
celebrated the victory 12 times, and were defeated 14
times. The British teams can speak about 12 wins out of
19 attempts, the Spaniards - 13 out of 22, Germany - 7 of
17, Portugal - 4 of 9, and the Netherlands – 6 victories
out of 8 games
#2 Gareth Bale Scores a Record
There have been six final overtimes before, but during
none of them any goals were scored. Gareth Bale was
the first who scored a goal during the extra time of the
Champions League final.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: 15 Amazing Facts About The Champions League by hydoo(op): 6:51am On Jul 22, 2014
#7 Scoring Fair
The victory 4-1 was the second largest one in the history
of the Champions League finals. The first was Milan
defeating Barcelona in 1994 with the score 4:0. 3-0 was
recorded twice - Real vs Valencia (2000) and Porto vs
Monaco (2004)
#6 Real Defeats the Red Devils
This final was the 200th game of Real in the Champions
League, which allowed the Spanish club to catch up with
Manchester United. Taking into account that the next
season the mancunians will not participate in the
European Cup, the Meringues will set a new record in the
first round of 2014/15 tournament.
#4 The Defender’s Goal Is the Fastest
The goal of Paolo Maldini from Milan, scored on the 51st
second after the beginning of the final against Liverpool
in 20 the fastest goal in the
history of the Champions League final.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: 15 Amazing Facts About The Champions League by hydoo(op): 6:32am On Jul 22, 2014
#11 1 Goal for the Entire Group Stage
No club can boast not conceding a goal throughout the
group stage. But a number of teams finished the stage
with the only ball missed - Milan (1992/93), Ajax
(1995/96), Juventus (1996/97 and 2004/05), Chelsea
(2005/06 ), Liverpool (2005/06), Villarreal (2005/06) and
MJ (2010/11).
#10 There Are Places like Home
Only two teams in the history of the Champions League
won the championship at home. They were Dortmund
Borussia (in Munich in 1997) and Juventus (in Rome in
1996.) Meanwhile, in 2011 the Manchester United was
defeated in the final game in London, and a year later
the Bavaria was beaten by Chelsea at its own Arena
Munich.

#9 Ronaldo vs Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo scored 17 goals in the Champions
League 2014, setting a record number of goals in a
single tournament. It is more than did Lionel Messi (14
goals, 2011/12) and ex-striker of Milan Jose Altafini, who
scored 14 goals in the European Cup. Totally the
Portuguese can boast with 67 goals in the Champions
League. Still, he and Messi stay behind of the best scorer
in the history of the tournament. Raul Gonzalez totally
scored four goals more.
#8 Overtime Seven Times, Once without Penalties
Playing 1:1 in the main time, the Madrid Real and
Athletico for the seventh time in history needed extra
time in the Champions League final, but for the first time
it did not come to a penalty shootout

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)15 Amazing Facts About The Champions League by hydoo(op): 6:24am On Jul 22, 2014
#15 The Magic of Numbers
Since there was a change in name and rules of the
championship in 1992, no club could win the Champions
League for two consecutive seasons. The last club which
managed to do it, was Milan, having won the European
Cup in 1989 and 1990.
#14 The Record of Manchester
The record for the longest series without a single defeat
in the Champions League belongs to English club
Manchester United. The club had played 25 games
without defeat: the series began September 19, 2007
and ended May 27, 2009
#13 Ancelotti Is Just the Second
The only coach who won the Champions League for three
times was an Englishman Bob Paisley as the head of
Liverpool in 1977, 1978 and 1981. Now Ancelotti has
repeated the record, winning the Champions League
twice with Milan and once with Madrid Real.

#12 The Meringues Are the Kings of Europe
Real Madrid has not only set a record of the total number
of wins, but it's also the only club to have won the
Champions League five times in a row. These were the
first five years of the League from 1956 to 1960.

SportsSuarez Needs A Psychiatrist, Not Fifa Sanctions – Uruguay President by hydoo(op): 11:05am On Jul 21, 2014
Uruguay president Jose
Mujica has slammed
Fifa for their treatment
of Luis Suarez, claiming
he needs help from a
psychiatrist rather than
a ban from football.
Suarez received a nine-game international
suspension and a four-month ban from all football-
related activity – along with a fine – after being
found guilty of biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini in
Uruguay’s 1-0 win on June 24 in the group stages of
the World Cup.
President Mujica was scathing in his assessment of
Fifa in the immediate aftermath of the punishment,
calling football administrators “a bunch of old sons
of b******,” and has now added that the new
Barcelona signing would be far better off with
psychiatric help, rather than a widespread ban.
“He comes from a poor background and his main
intelligence is in his feet,” the Uruguayan leader
said in an interview with Brazilian newspaper Folha
de Sao Paulo.
“It’s better to take him to hospital and once there,
see a psychiatrist.
“I’m not disputing the sporting sanctions, they’re
fine. What I’m disputing is that there are certain
things that shouldn’t have anything to do with the
ban.
“The fact he can’t go on any football pitch, that he
can’t be with any of his team-mates in the national
team, he can’t go to a football stadium or even
support a charity event linked with football.
“It’s crazy! Not even a government can prohibit
someone from entering a football stadium, without
the signature of a judge. Then Fifa come along and
say he can’t do that for four months… without even
a legal tribunal.”
Mujica, once dubbed ‘the world’s poorest president’
due to his austere lifestyle, added that Fifa has
displayed an old-fashioned attitude over the course
of the affair as the world waits to see Suarez play for
Barcelona following his €88 million move from
Liverpool.
“I believe Fifa have a mentality of old people,” the
79-year-old added.
“They want to appear as though they’re learning
from their mistakes, but never do. The only thing
they generate is hatred and resentment. What this
lad needs is someone to give him a helping hand.
“Now we’ll get to see [Suarez] playing alongside
Neymar and [Lionel] Messi. We don’t know when
that will be, though.”

PoliticsChibok Girls? - Dont Worry, We Will Soon Find Them - FG by hydoo(op): 3:12pm On Jul 09, 2014
The Federal Government announced, yesterday,
that it was getting nearer to finding the over 200
schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram terrorists on
April 14 from Chibok, Borno State.
This is just as the military also said that troops
have taken over Balmo forest in Bauchi and killed
over 45 terrorists in an encounter, capturing
foreign mercenaries and weapons.
The abducted schoolgirls were writing their school
certificate examinations when they were abducted
after they were lured away on the pretext by the
terrorists that they were soldiers sent to rescue
them from insurgents.
They were allegedly herded into some lorries and
ferreted away to unknown destinations.
