Sports › Re: Odewingie, Martins & Taiwo Dropped For AFCON 2013 by Jarus(m): 5:45pm On Dec 22, 2012
My problem is still that defence.

Apart from Yobo l'm not aware of another reliable defender there. I don't have enough confidence in Echiejile and Ambrose. I still prefer Taiwo. Shittu is a fighter, highly committed with great work rate but I don't know his current fitness level.

Apart from defence, I'm ok with other departments. We won't miss Martins, although he is more threat to defenders than our center forwards of Emenike and Ideye . Osaze would have been a quality addition but we can't afford rows in team this time,which may be inevitable if he makes the team.

Our real weak link remains defence.

1, Mallam Faruk Lawan: The once respected member of the lower chamber was expectedly a recurring nominee for this unenviable category. From the height of reverence in Nigeria's political firmament, the Kano man fell to the nadir of humiliation. Or how else can one describe the $620,000 bribery scandal that had the man at the centre?

2, President Goodluck Jonathan: The current holder of the 'dishonour' title appears set to retain it, as Nairalanders still dont appear convinced that he has done anything.

3, Prof. Chinua Achebe: The world renowned literary giant was an inch close to winning to 'Fame' category just last year for rejecting the national honour from Federal Government. But how tide turns? Nairalanders consider the octogenerian a candidate for the shame version this year, for, according to them, opening a pandora box that portends disunity for Nigeria.

Politics › Re: Tunde Bakare inducted into Nairaland Politics Section Of Hall Of Fame 2012 by Jarus(op): 5:26pm On Dec 21, 2012
1, PASTOR TUNDE BAKARE: The Ogun state born pentecostal pastor was a strong opposition voice in 2012. He continued from where he stopped in 2011 as a social critic. The former presidential running mate was very active in the OccupyNigeria anti-subsidy removal protests of January 2012.

2. PROFESSOR BARTH NNAJI Nigerians are ultra critical of their governments and government officers. But one officer stood out and caught the admiration of not a few Nigerians in this period when the citizens are hopelessly caustic against their leaders. He is Professor Barth Nnaji, the immediate past minister of power. Although some issues that bordered on conflict of interest saw his exit from the position, he appears to have made enough goodwill for himself.

3, OCCUPYNIGERIA PROTESTERS It started like a joke, slicing through the social media. From twitter to facebook to BBM, the citizens spat fire, threatening to bring the country to standstill starting from January 5 2012 unless the FGN reversed the removal of subsidy on subsidized petroleum prodicts. And they did. Tagged OccupyNigeria, Nigeria witnessed what was perhaps unprecedented in recent history of the country. They got partial results.

Are these protesters our inductee-in-waiting? Or the indefatigable Pastor? Or the power man?

Ladies and gentlemen, the ball is in your court!

Thought this was a straight fight between Drogba and kKatongo . When Katongo didnt make final list, thought Drogba would have an easy ride. Never imagined Yaya could retain it.

But on a more critical look I think he deserved it. He was very consistent. Plus he was CIV's best player in ANC .

I think its like some kinda veto power they ave.
J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ d same way a lecturer is forced 2 upgrade (moderate) his scores whn its ridiculously low (senate reject a lot of results like dat), I believe they eh some how also ave d power 2 downgrade results ( whn it seems everybody passes). Dis particularly happened 2 us in our final year (of course it cannot happen 2 d big profs, only d little lecturers).
This kind of mentality is why Nigerian students fail.

So how would this be shown in the transcript? All the courses he had good grades in cumulatively from year 1 will be 'downgraded'!

With due respect to my brilliant and good friends here that finished from Unilorin (Oyb, Olawalebabs and co), I am from Kwara state and I must tell you the bulk of my friends that went to Unilorin were JAMB victims that opted for remedial. In my secondary school in 2000, out of the over 100 of us that wrote UME, only three of us scored above 200 and two of us chose and went to Ife. Our 120, 150, 180 friends later found themselves in Unilorin. No disrespect, but I doubt these guys were OAU materials in the first place, so I don't know whether these are the people you want to make First Class in Unilorin. You can't score below 200 and get admission into Ife. Well, the Ife I attended.

I had a first class from OAU and Omole was my project supervisor back then before he became the VC...First class could be a problem if not properly handled especially in a crazy country like Nigeria...the expectations, the burden, the anxiety etc could be killing...(from personal expi) grin
One too.

Well, I must say mine has been very helpful and opened opportunities.

I however agree that the expectation/burden is another thing that awaits them post-school. Some people even expect you, with just a First degree, even if with First Class, to know more than a professor in your field. But I have not met an OAU First that fails to live to this expectation.
Politics › Re: Trailer Plunges In To River Killing 27 by Jarus(m): 6:02pm On Dec 19, 2012
Mization: Nigerian News on December 19, 2012 -

At least 27 people were reported dead, while 18 others sustained various degrees of injuries following an accident involving an articulated vehicle along Ruwa Wuri-Tangaza road on Monday, which also claimed the lives of a number of cows and sheep.
According to eyewitnesses, the driver of the trailer with plate number Sokoto XA 443 SAA, which was heading to Warri, Delta State from Mano village, allegedly lost control and plunged into a river close to Masallaci village in Tangaza Local Government.
The victims, who had been buried in Bagida village, reports say were from Bagida, Sabiyo, Tinnigere, Ruwa Wuri and Tsoni villages, all in the local government.
Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, Sokoto, Dr. Umaru Aliyu, while confirming the incident said: “Our findings revealed that the accident occurred due to over-loading and over-speeding,” adding that the trailer was conveying both cows and humans.
“27 people died, while 15 were injured. Those injured are receiving treatment at Usman Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, UDUTH, Sokoto, while the driver of the trailer and his motor boy fled,” Aliyu said. http://www.informationnigeria.org/2012/12/trailer-plunges-into-river-killing-27.html
