Tboy222: Amusan Bags OON Award As Buhari Honours Nigerian Athletes Channels Television Updated September 15, 2022 Track queen Tobi Amusan on Thursday bagged the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) award as President Muhammadu Buhari honoured the country’s athletes for their spectacular performances in several competitions. The ceremony presided over by Buhari saw the Commander-in-Chief splash N200 million for Team Nigeria contingents to the 2022 Commonwealth Games and World Athletics Championships. He also conferred national honours on them. While addressing the athletes at the Banquet Hall of the State House in Abuja, Buhari said his administration is committed to rewarding excellence, no less for members of Team Nigeria who ignited the spirit of victory in the nation through stellar performances at international competitions “Your outstanding performances in recent times are consistent with the determination of a nation always yearning for excellent performance,” the President was quoted as saying in a statement by his media aide, Femi Adesina. He described the athletes as champions, worthy ambassadors, national heroes, and heroines, heaping praises on them for proudly flying the Nigerian flag in nine sporting events. “I watched with millions of Nigerians those exciting moments when you all brought smiles to us and our homes by breaking world, national, and games records, as well as achieving personal best in your careers. “You all, members of Team Nigeria, have ignited the spirit for victory in our nation but even more you have been victorious in major sporting championships and games. “I have followed keenly your achievements at the World Championships in Oregon, USA, and indeed your remarkable performance at the recently concluded Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, United Kingdom. “And I am very pleased that you displayed at both the personal and group levels great sporting talents and delivered for your country great podium performances.” Buhari noted that the athletes’ hour of sporting glory beamed the “radar of the world on Nigeria”, maintaining that their exploits have gone a long way in projecting the positive image of the country. He added, “Twelve times the world stood still as our green, the white-green national flag was hoisted and the National Anthem recited. Thirty-five times we made it to the podium. You all Team Nigeria made that possible. “You brought glory and honour to our country. And today, on behalf of the nation- I say, Thank You!” https://www.channelstv.com/2022/09/15/amusan-other-athletes-get-n200m-national-honours/

This scene from Dogs of War (1980) featuring Christopher Walken and our very own Olu Jacobs (as a corrupt customs officer). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSH6J2KKRsA A character in the movie is called Dr. Okoye. |

I don't know if this counts because it is not about Nigeria but Yoruba language was spoken by some villagers in one of the scenes even though the movie is apartheid-era with the plot mainly based in South Africa. The Wilby Conspiracy (1975). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S81fnyX-nEs It features Sidney Poitier, Prunella Gee and Michael Caine, some of the most popular actors at the time. I can't remember clearly but I think it was the last scene in the trailer, where the villagers destroyed the helicopter that they spoke Yoruba. |

Konquest: Interesting angle. However, black people from the carribeans are/were derogatorily called "Ireke" meaning Sugarcane, referring to them being descendants of Sugarcane plantation slaves. This was/is to differentiate them from the US African-Americans derogatory called "akata". How do you explain this? |

Given that the Chairman's surname is Nigeria, some comments here are interesting. NoFucksToGive: benuejosh: Most people won't notice his surname. |
TV/Movies / Re: 50 Detective Shows That Were Shown On Nigerian Television In The 1970s And '80s by johnie: 2:45pm On Oct 18, 2021 |
Wow! I just realised this is a 2018 thread. I just googled now and found out that Man in the Suitcase originally aired from 1967 to 68. The episode I referenced above ( http://www.screenonline.org.uk/tv/id/512060/synopsis.html) originally aired on 11/10/1967. 54 years ago! When I watched it in the 80s (i think), I thought it was an early 70s programme because of the way they dressed. Hmm, that's a loooooong while back. |

naptu2: I don't know why that episode of Man In A Suitcase titled "Execution Day " keeps playing in my head. "Marioki by midnight." naptu2: Ihria Enakhimio used to feature on a series running on RN2 in those days. I took a liking to him from listening to the programme and was happy to see what he looked like when he later featured on The Turning Wheel that showed on NTA. Anyone remember the name of the radio series and his role? |
