Famsey:It's illegal, that is why. In Nigeria, at this moment, it isn't. The law is silent on ponzi schemes---------no express injunction banning it, but over there because they have got history with ponzi schemes, the letter of the law is express. Attempt to manage or promote ponzi schemes means jail time. No 2 ways around it, no its my money allow me do whatever I what with it, the promoters are caught and jailed finito. |
kennyhydee:Actually it's because it is illegal over there. Any one caught promoting or managing a ponzi scheme, jail straight. No I dey come, I dey go. |
kolaaderin:Guy look well you go see the crime. You don forget say they beat the girl aunty? That one no be crime for una side? No crime if na only sex, but crime dey well well if they beat the woman. That's assault and battery, and those boys should be kept behind bars for their stupidity. |
People comparing la-liga and the EPL have to understand that it is an entirely useless comparison. No one is better than the other. And if you think otherwise it is a thing of simply preference. There is no objective and perfect measure to judge them. One could point to the uefa ranking of leagues by point, where la-liga leads, and has led for more than half a decade, but this is a flawed system of measuring the strength of leagues. But even more flawed and useless is the idea of measuring the strength of the leagues on the basis of the success of players transferred between them. Not only is this purely anecdotal, relying on biased and subjective evaluation of what ranks as successful transfer, it completely disregards or underestimates nuanced factors, other than the obvious quality of players or the league, that contributes to a successful transfer. It mightn't even take into consideration how much the selling league have contributed to the technical development of the player before awarding them free points and credit for developing the player. A player like Luis Suarez, for instance, came to the premier league from the dutch league already fully formed and mature in the technical aspect of his game. The most important part of his development taking place in ajax and groningen. In looking at his transfer from liverpool to barcelona does one give credit to liverpool and by extension the premier league for the emergence of Luis Suarez, or do we credit the dutch clubs? It is a thankless task impossible to properly quantify, making it consequently futile. But this is the everyday nature of the modern football transfer. It is rare to find players who have been exclusively influenced, and developed, in a particular league-----as is the case with La masia graduates----------making it pointless to give any one league full credit for a players development. No one can deny that the premier league have sold some great players and not so great players to the Spanish league, while others have moved the other way, but to use this as evidence of which league is stronger and better is plain wrong and misleading. |

keshconnections:Your last statement makes things worse. Just edit it out, and let's pretend you never wrote it. |
cashwhisperer:look men, I feel your pain, but the power dynamics you speak about isn't there only because of racism. Black America and America in general has a peculiar history, and even more unique present, and although race and racism has played a huge part in it, I'm not going to put everything down to race. |
jkarmstrong:This should be thank you. For a so-called writer a dumb mistake to make. |
A big think you to any potential voter. Hopefully I get enough votes to make it to the next stage |
Here is my entry for the etisalat flash fiction prize. Its a simple story about teenage pregnancy. Presently I have got zero votes. Please follow the link and vote, and help a brother. Peace. https://prize.etisalat.com.ng/flash-fiction/ voteall.php?id=396. A mother's joy. I could tell you of the exact moment, and the exact hour, and the exact time of day, of the exact month and year, I'd probed round my belly and knew for certain that an illegitimate child was growing inside me. I could tell you how immediately my heart sunk far deep into my stomach that I wouldn’t have been altogether surprised to have seen it ejected out along with the unwanted fetus, and bits of hot, brownish fecal matter already bearing down my anus. My exact thoughts were: Chidi you're finished finished. And if you'd been there to see how me, initially standing, started to slowly shrink into a sobbing, miniature ball rolled up the toilet floor I think you'd have completely agreed. But finished did not even begin to describe things. Firstly, in unambiguous terms, this meant bye-bye till whenever ‘September- university- matriculation.'( if- ever, we meet again old friend.) Next, it meant a resounding slap delivered at the centre of my left ear that I can still hear the taaaaaa! ringing occasionally. I could tell you more things: My botched abortion attempts, Tunde’s predictable denial, the follow up depression; or even of my being kept in hiding, completely shut out from friends and prying neighbours; while my parents and siblings did me -----or themselves, the favor of telling everyone I’d gained a ruse university admission. But what would any of these change? Nothing. So I'll tell you nothing of them instead, tell you of the exact moment I’d first held my child in my arms-----the newborn kicking and screaming, infant hope and promise hanging on his head --my joy indescribable like a rush of wind so powerful and dignified that it did not matter in that moment what'd come before, or what might even come after. |

The law should take its course-------due punishment should be served not castration-----but am I the only one to find the man's ridiculous defence absurd to the point of being strangely funny? I was laughing out loud and for a really long time when I read this: “ I suspected that Imaobong has had sex with a man. But when I inserted my manhood into her vagina, I discovered that she had never had sex. At that point, I immediately removed my manhood from her vagina. ” As if carrying out the ‘manhood test’ on Imaobong wasn’t enough, Amah, also decided to verify Enobong’s virginity. He said: “In the case of Enobong, I also intended to find out if she has had sexual intercourse with any man |
Hope those in authorities can start to do something quickly about this, and not to dismiss it with the characteristic, arrogant, Nigerian wave of hand. |
The UN has been accused of failing to act quickly enough to save hundreds of thousands of lives in northern Nigeria where a food crisis already killing hundreds of people a day is poised to become the most devastating in decades. Nigerian authorities, who maintain tight control over humanitarian and media access to the region, have also been accused of deliberate negligence and attempting to conceal the scale of the crisis. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has categorised 4.4 million people in the Lake Chad region as “severely food insecure” – meaning they are in need of urgent food aid. Toby Lanzer, UN assistant secretary general and OCHA’s regional humanitarian coordinator for the Sahel, said: “This is about as bad as it gets. There’s only one step worse and I’ve not come across that situation in 20 years of doing this work and that’s a famine.” “We have to step in and quickly or we are going to have hundreds of thousands at risk of dying in the north- east of Nigeria.” Boko Haram’s seven-year insurgency has left Borno’s farmland – which previously fed Nigeria – devastated and abandoned. This will be the region’s third year without a harvest. The hunger crisis is claiming lives even in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state and the hub of humanitarian and security forces in the region. The city has doubled in size in two years and now hosts 2.4 million displaced people. Food prices are soaring in the markets, where it now costs $100 (£75) to buy a large bag of rice. Lanzer said UN agencies have not had the resources necessary to tackle the crisis and has called on international donors to prevent a greater catastrophe. Of the $279m (£210m) required, only $75m has so far been secured. Isabelle Mouniaman, head of Médecins Sans Frontières operations in Nigeria, said MSF has been raising the alarm in northern Nigeria for two years and UN organisations have failed to respond. “We’ve been calling to the UN, to the headquarters of Unicef, WFP [World Food Programme], OCHA and their response has been ‘Yes, we’re doing this and that’… But you cannot just be satisfied to say you built X number of latrines, delivered X bags of food when people are dying. It’s not enough,” Mouniaman said. “The Red Cross is doing their job, MSF is doing their job, but the vast majority of humanitarian organisations are failing in their responsibility towards the crisis in Borno.” This is about as bad as it gets. There’s only one step worse ... and that’s a famine Toby Lanzer, UN assistant secretary general International aid agencies have focused on Maiduguri’s overstretched camps, but more than 80% of displaced people in the city, around 1.9 million people, are living among the community, the vast majority without access to food aid or medical support. The most desperate crisis is unfolding outside Maiduguri, where aid agencies fear hundreds of thousands of people are trapped, cut off by Boko Haram and the military operation against them. As the Nigerian army clears more of these areas, the true scale of the crisis is only just becoming clear; those who have escaped tell of watching children die from hunger and being prevented from calling for help. Mouniaman said: “We’re talking about areas in which 39% of children have severe acute malnutrition. This is a really, really dramatic situation. In my whole MSF career – since 1999 – I’ve never seen anything like it.” In June, a humanitarian convoy reached Bama, Borno state’s second largest city. It was recaptured by the Nigerian army in March 2015, but the 37-mile journey (60km) from Maiduguri is still considered too dangerous to make without military escort because of Boko Haram attacks and landmines. They found Bama destroyed and a camp of about 30,000 people, mostly women and children. Many were starving. MSF found the graves of 1,233 who had died in the camp, 480 of whom were children. More than 3,000 severely malnourished people were evacuated by the state governor to Maiduguri for emergency treatment. Several died en route. The Guardian was refused entry to Bama by the Nigerian military on security grounds. But Maj Gen Leo Irabor, who leads the military operation against Boko Haram in the region, said hunger in the Bama camp was “relative”. “Very largely I think their needs are being met,” Irabor said. Several people evacuated to Maiduguri agreed to speak to the Guardian on condition of anonymity. One man, a civil servant, said he had seen people die every day in the camp as a result of hunger and poor sanitation. Food rations were delivered once a day by civilian militia and distributed by local community heads. This was often raw rice, which there was no means to cook. Complaints about hunger and deaths were ignored. “How many times we cried out or we complained … But when we were in Banki, the army confiscated all our mobile phones. If the army saw you making a telephone call, wow would they give you a beating,” he said. Humanitarian agencies are still struggling to get an idea of the scale of need in tens of towns they have not been able to reach. In Mondugo last week, MSF estimated 100,000 displaced people were in need of assistance; this week, their revised estimate was 200,000. There is even less information about large communities in Dikwa, Konduga, Gwoza and Kale/Balge, where the situation is thought to be even worse than in Bama. Grema Terab, chairman of the State Emergency Management Agency (Sema) in Borno – the body leading the state’s humanitarian response – until early March 2015, believes the crisis is the result of “total neglect and carelessness on the part of the government”. He said the government was aware of the extent of the hunger, but failed to deliver a plan to tackle it and attempted to prevent media coverage of the issue for fear of embarrassment. “The government chose to conceal the issue of IDPs [internally displaced people] because they were afraid of indictment. There has been a lot of long-term neglect and a refusal to act upon the plight of the IDPs and this is why starvation is occurring in most of the camps,” he said. “The IDPs are kept under lock and key because they don’t want them to communicate with the outside world.” The current Sema chairman, Satomi Saleh, told the Guardian these allegations were “blackened lies and political connivances”. He said Sema, alongside the National Emergency Management Agency, has reached 150,000 people in the camps in Maiduguri with food assistance, but admitted the crisis has now exceeded Nigeria’s ability to respond alone. A nutritional emergency has been declared in Borno state, where the governor, Kashim Shettima, is now working closely with UN agencies. The WFP was invited into Nigeria by the government in March to assist the relief effort. They are rapidly scaling up their operation and now hope to reach more than 700,000 with food aid by December. “I don’t think anyone was quick enough to understand how serious the situation was. We can criticise each other, but the main point is … what are we going to do to make sure this situation doesn’t deteriorate,” Lanzer told the Guardian. “We can make every plan on earth ... [but] if we do not get resources from the donor community very little of that will actually happen.” Culled from guardian.co.uk |

good |
ijustdey:lol. Wetin wan go wrong apart from say dey catch dem? The dead bodies go rise? lol |
expressglory:If you believed this poo on ipob bombing computer village than you will believe anything. Seriously though why all the hate and senselessness in this thread. I get that tribal trumpeting and intertribal bashing has become a thing but to this extent? We hear of the Rwandan genocide, and other atrocities fueled by hate throughout the age, and we say it will not happen here--------by here I mean the south of the country------maybe in the deep, uneducated, impoverished, north but not here; however the hatred exhibited in this thread are the seeds of such madness. We must learn to use our heads, and refuse to be manipulated by our politicians for their own selfish gain, otherwise it should not shock us when Femi and his mindless gang holds a machete looking to cut down Obi, or Obi and friends holds a machete to cut down femi. |
Wales don try next Portugal and d semis even though it will be really difficult without their number one pass master Aaron Ramsey, and defence Lynchpin Ben Davis. Really difficult to call that one, but I feel like Portugal will win simply because of their pedigree and experience at this stage------5 semis in the last 7 euros. And then their is cristiano Ronaldo who even though has been uncharacteristically profligate, failing to assert himself in any fixture in this tournament bar the Hungary game, still is cristiano Ronaldo who as we all know poses a unique kind of threat unlike anything wales has faced so far. The heart says wales, because of their cinderella story mainly, much like iceland, but the head says Portugal. On Wednesday may the better team win |
Nice one every one should see this not just Argentines or messi. Front page things |
lorenzo9096:Hahahaha a bit late but I just saw this now useless Peru na that useless Peru commot Brazil. useless Peru go bust ya country. and as for Haiti most major tournament dey get one really small team sha------ think Tahiti confer cup 2013. this Euros get dem well well like Albania, northern Ireland, even Iceland way dey win na small team e.t.c make I no talk again. |

I don't like the word stain like it's something immoral that he did. His legacy is in tact and clear for all to see. This is just another twist in the messi super hero story. Watch out for the next series of the boy magician from Rosario.lol |
men sad for him, but hopefully he will change his mind. If not at least he did his best |
confistified:You no include Chile (no 3 ranked team in the world) also you forget to talk say u no include Colombia too (no 5 ranked team in the world) and the almighty Brazil (5 time world champion) I forgive u sha, but here is a fun fact there were more teams that qualified for the round of sixteen in the last world cup in this year's copa america( than teams that qualified for the round of sixteen in the last world cup playing in this years euros. ( 5 if you remove Holland who surprisingly didn't qualify for the euros). In fact half the teams in this year's copa played in the round of 16 of the last world cup. That's a top top level of competition and quality higher than the euros, higher the afcon, higher than any frigging international tournament out there (obviously bar the world cup and club football competitions) The fact you don't know this, and you feel confident enough to bash the copa tells me all I need to know about your impoverished knowledge of the game. A little advice go and learn more about football before u make bold, erroneous comments and claims. |
nonjebose:15 mins na em b long period of the game. no mislead people my brother. They gave both teams red card in the first half. Chile @ 28mins and arg @ 43 |
