ItsModella: LMAO!! Mikel claims he hasn't spoken to the lady in a long while.

http://www.kickoff.com/news/33446/nigeria-midfielder-john-mikel-obi-denies-reports-that-he-is-getting-married-to-sandra-okugbue

Sincere 9gerian: Sorry for the delay. I've done the update but I'm having difficulty adding the pictures for the latest update but I hope to do that soon

zayhal: Please help us tell them o. Some brothers carry on as if smiling is a sin, even at home with their wives and children. I know a particular one that laughs and plays with his wife when they're alone together but once they're outside or they have a visitor in the house, his countenance suddenly changes and he wears that straight face. I wonder why.

deols: I don't even see that holding water because-
the north is predominantly Muslim whereas this is the south west where Muslims and christians reside hand in hand(that is even if we just let it slide that Muslims aren't more)


so if a majority Muslim region doesnt force nonMuslims to wear hijab why should Muslims be denied it in their own land.

rhymz: this is the first comment here that points to main fact here, the story is an exaggerated one.
It makes no sense that a principal will flog a little girl of 12yrs 43 strokes of the cane just for wearing Hijab. All we have is the story of a journalist whose religious allegiance we don't even know. It takes common sense to figure out that this is pure journalistic embelishment, an exaggerated version of what realy happened. Until the school or the Principal releases her own side of the story, I am afraid I can't believe this obviously flawed and exaggerated story.
By the way, every student should stick to the accepted mode of dressing in school, if it violates the rules, don't expect to be treated with understanding. I doubt there is any such right that allows anyone to exhibit or manifest every aspect of your religion everywhere you go as claimed by the writer, it is obvious that there is no objectivity in this write up. Its motive is to steer emotions in people and nothing more. 43 strokes indeed!

Movingcoil: mr man or woman, it might also interest to go and find out dat these girls must hav been warned so many times and if u can see, all of her muslim friends must hav stopped wearing dat stuff and decided to be good and obedient students but she out of stupidy and hopeless ignorance decided 2 keep disobeying and d teacher out of stupid hatred dat she wouldn't listen and dat she is challenging her authority flogged her bum bum well. U know u mslims ar known to always use r religion to commit atrocity so dat ru brodas and sisters can hail u as strong willed

I have a question for you, would you consider it right and fair if : Your Daughter was compelled to wear the Hijab in a Government School in Kano, simply because you happen to live in that part of the country

AKobo4urthought: That is a very ridiculous statement to make. What does wearing a school uniform have to do with wearing an hijab? Back in high school I had tons of muslim friends who wore the hijab, but they didn't have to take their hijab off because of some so called "uniform", and their hijab didn't interfere with their studies or the studies of others. As a school administrator it is rather unprofessional to suspend or mistreat students because of their religious believes. But then in a country like Nigeria, people don't really care about being professional or being fair. If the christian students get to be treated like they belong in the school, so should the muslim students. Wearing an hijab should have[size=14pt] nothing[/size] to do with getting a proper education.

Afam4eva:
It may be allowed in some schools in the UK but it's not allowed in secular schools in Nigeria. There are schools in Nigeria that accept it and are mostly Islamic schools.

Well, you will read more ridiculous statements if you stay on this forum. This is how low the mindset of many Christians (esp. pentecostals) in Nigeria are. During my NYSC service in Enugu I can remember vividly that the Muslim ladies had many conflicts with the authorities over the use of Hijab but the Catholic Nun sisters who wears almost exactly what looks like an hijab was treated like a saint, infact when challenged, the response was that she is a "Catholic Sister"; how preposterous!!!

The Hijab (or any other religious head covering) is permitted by law in every Government school in lagos, anyone can check up the facts. I live in the North, and I can say without any doubt that in Kaduna the christians attending public schools are free not to wear the hijab to school if they so desire, no one is compelling them to wear the hijab to school, so why should Muslims be compelled to against the teachings of their religion by removing the Hijab.

fellis: Marriages should be about companionship and understanding. When any major decision is made, there should be an agreement between both the husband and wife about that decision. Both parties should be happy about any decision that is taken in the marriage for there to be contentment and to avoid development of any resentment from one spouse towards the other.
A husband should talk things out with his wife and try to make sure his wife is ok with whatever decision he wants to make, the same way a wife should make sure her husband is ok with the decisions she makes concerning the marriage.
There shouldn't be any 'commanding' done by any of them, husband or wife. Marriage lasts longer when there is companionship and understanding, not when one party is busy commanding the other to do their bidding.

rhema4u: 6. Mum-Zi, from the island of Calabar in Nigeria, became a mother aged eight years and four months in August 1884. Her daughter also gave birth at a very young age, making Mum-Zi a grandmother aged 17. Both were part of Chief Akkiri’s harem

Catlanta: This is quite sad and unfortunate.

We had been expecting this extra carton to arrive at the office and thus wanted to send out the 2 item together, this was why the first item was delayed. We have however sent out the available item since yesterday.

If an airline ever misplaced your consignment you would realize that a week is not nearly enough to recover these items. We have been doing everything to get these items back and we just resolved to to repurchase these items for the clients. We would still crave your indulgence for a little more patience with this your order. Thanks

kasco27: I want urge people tơ̴̴̮͡ see thi̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊ project as a good development for our nation. We are now in ICT world, we can't still remain under develop in Naija. Lagos state govt always comes up wt good idea that people cannot even imagine it can work. Compare tơ̴̴̮͡ federal govt project, despite the huge amont of money spending on abuja city is still crawling after Lagos. Let's embrace the idea and give them positive advice on how thi̶̲̥̅̊s̶̲̥̅̊ dream wil come tơ̴̴̮͡ reality. God bless us.

Eko Ile: It's a capitalist economy where private investors look at and scrutinize business opportunities before investing their money. They are obviously not investing their money if there is no financial gains and opportunities for them. They've obviously done their homework (That you did not do) before committing their funds. You don't know what can work or can not work because you haven't done any research, you are not an engineer or a town planner, you are also not an investor so your money is not on the line.

After 30 years, this infrastructure belongs to the people of Lagos state. It's a win win situation fore the people of Lagos state.

And after completion, you are not obligated to ride on any cable car talk less give them your money, there are other modes of transportation for you.


Btw, what's the difference between metro rail the state is building today and maglev trains? Are they not the same but operate on a different form of power or propulsion? Also, do you mean hybrid cars using the same roads like regular cars are capable of easing traffic, carry more passengers. There is absiolutely no sense or valid point here.

phabulous88: By virtue of my knowledge and experience, I have an idea of what should work in a city like Lagos. And FYI, I'm a Construction Project Management postgraduate student & I've designed and planned a sustainable city which received endorsement from my professors. You don't deal with congestion in an over populated city like Lagos by introducing cable cars. it's a waste of resources.

Negro_Ntns: nooooooo, noooooo!!!

this is bad idea! this is like laying tracks for trams, except instead of on surface we are suspending it in the sky. this is bad idea. how do you combine fast tracks planned for the metro rails with outdated drags?

let us expand development hinterland into yoruba townships instead of wasting money in one spot to construct multi layers of redundant projects.

Eko Ile please share with the Governor to convert this money and erect a parallel fast track to compete with nigerian railway corporation. we need to depopulate lagos. people can live in oyo and commute daily to lagos to work. it is possible for people in osun to commute back and forth daily to lagos. it is called speed train or bullet train. sky cable cars will only incite the remaining millions left in villages to troop into lagos and be part of the skyriding crowd.

bad bad bad policy on this one......scrap it!

JaaizTech: I am really worried about my order, actually I am yet to be disappointed but with all the bad comments I have been reading, man mii I dey fear o

Catlanta: People talk mainly when they have an issue, there are 1000's of successful transaction, that go unmentioned so you really do not need to fear!

Uwakuwak: those qualities should be for a good husband not for islam alone

Siena: Costee, some states will visually inspect the catalyst, some check for a CEL, while others go the whole hog, and do emission testing. In such states, gutting / removing the catalyst means the car will not pass emissions.

The O2 "cheat" is merely a defouler, commonly used on worn engines, to prevent oil from fouling the spark plugs. It's a spacer, that moves the O2 sensor tip from the gas flow. In some cases, it will work enough for the ECU not to throw a CEL, but the car may still be thirstier than normal. The O2 sensor does not register static data, the information it picks up is constantly changing. So some cars fitted with defoulers will still often throw up a code, and illuminate the CEL.

Gutting a catalyst is done in the US in states that don't do emission testing. It's a cheap way of losing the catalyst, without the need to purchase a test pipe (a pipe that fits in place of the catalyst). The downside is, you end up with a hollow section, which creates turbulence. This will alter the back pressure, which a naturally aspirated engine is very sensitive to. This will choke performance, and raise fuel consumption. A straight pipe is the best option - if you decide to delete the catalyst.

Deleting the catalyst to increase response works more on older cars, pre-OBD-II. It also favours turbocharged engines, where the catalyst is bolted directly to the turbo, by increasing spool-up time. On a 2006 Toyota Corolla, it's pointless removing it.

The NPL is the only league in the world that has 15 year olds making up majority of the players.

Add 5 to 8 years to the ages of most of these players and then you have their real ages.

So the average age of our players would be anything from 28 to 31. That can be an asset if the players are ones that have experience. Nah! Majority of ours have little experience and pose like little boys.

bennygee: Most of u peeps condemning Dana Air return are just so daft.so many airlines have had crashes and werent stopped from flying.wat happpens to the families of the Dana. Air workers who have been unpaid in the past 7months?isnt that hunger and starvation.is Dana air worse than a VP whose new house costs more than 10B naira which is. More. Than enough to build over 2000 housing units at a modest rate of 5m per house or our leaders who are busy looting away much money than we can even think aboiut.corruption in govt has killed over 2000 people Due to hunger and sickness in the past 5 years.lets leave Dana air to operate and keep people in employment which our govt cant provide and face our. Corrupt leaders who are depriving us of our basic needs.lets stop being hypocritic
