appointment of anenih as BOT chair is GEJ's way of saying bring it on guys, i am ready for you.

DSP Alamesigha said something to ex gov T. silva that i will never forget 'you cannot fight the government, some of us tried it and did not succeed' by this i think he meant his fight with obj, remember obj and atiku, gej and ibori also gej and silva and others,i see amaechi as a strong politician and wise politician (dis does not mean i think he is a good man) that should know better than take on GEJ, it will not end well, given what has happened, i wont be shocked if i hear efcc is investigating some people,

olas2u: The electorates are always going to be cheated under different names and the same people.

it depends on who was offended, from the bible jesus prayed to God to forgive those that were killing him, also stephen prayed to God not to count the offense of his murderers against them, what i see from here is if you are the one that was sinned against then you can absolve the person that sinned against you from any blame what so ever, but a third 'human' party cannot pray to God to forgive a sin that was committed against someone else unless he is given the power to do so by the offended, but jesus can forgive sin committed against any one except the holy spirit. if i understand the bible, then this is what i think it means.

bottom line of going to church to fellowship and find strength in times of need and weakness , as long as you dont forsake the assembly of the brethren you will be fine,

wandeok: TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran on Friday rejected it had committed any “illegal act” in Nigeria after the State Security Service (SSS) paraded three Nigerians accused of spying for the Islamic republic.

Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian was quoted in media reports as saying he “rejected Nigerian and Western media reports of illegal activities by the Islamic republic in Nigeria”.d

Amir-Abdollahian said relations between Iran and Nigeria were “developing” and urged officials of the two nations to prevent such accusations from being made.

On Wednesday, the Nigerian secret police paraded a 50-year-old Islamic cleric and two accomplices who they alleged were spying on prominent individuals and targets for Iran.

Abdullahi Mustapha Berende, presented as a leader of the Shiite sect in the central city of Ilorin, was arrested in December “for his active involvement in espionage and terrorist activities,” Nigerian security service spokeswoman Marilyn Ogar said.

Investigations revealed that Berende, accused of establishing a “terrorist cell” in Nigeria’s southwest, with a particular emphasis on Lagos, recruited the two other suspects for the task, Ogar said.

Berende underwent his training in Iran and his Iranian sponsors requested him “to identify and gather intelligence on public places and prominent hotels frequented by Americans and Israelis to facilitate attacks,” she said.

He allegedly gave to his Iranian handlers the names of former dictator Ibrahim Babangida, and ex-supreme leader of Muslims in Nigeria, Ibrahim Dasuki, as targets for attacks that could “unsettle the West,” she added.

Berende denied involvement in espionage or terror-related activities but admitted seeking information about some individuals and institutions.

The institutions included USAID and the Jewish Cultural Centre (Chabad) in Lagos, Ogar said, adding the suspects would soon be charged in court

CFCfan: @Mahatma Ghandi: I like your anti-war spirit. You are really repping your idol

i experienced the warri crises of 1999, i was in ph during the p/h crises of 2006,i was in kd during the kd crises of 2010 and a few others around the country, they all have one thing in common and that is the fact that rich people set the tone of these fights, the poor jobless people carry out the attacks, innocent people pay with their lives and then soldiers come and dehumanize the survivors in the name of maintaining law and order.

Zackenny: [quote author= With observation & indication 3rd world war is eminent which may lead to ARMAGEDDON. The prediction of ''The Man that Sees' Tomorrow'' is about 89% accurate which also stated the end of time. No one came with anything & we shall return not with our body/flesh (vanity upon vanity + vanity x vanity = VANITY)

the world cannot and will not survive a third world war, even nigeria cannot survive another war, given the fact that innocent people die in wars i will not and can never advocate it, there are innocent northeners as well as there are guilty ones, same goes for the south, east and west, above all let it be known that wars only serves the interest of a few and these few are usually not the good guys.

ylaa: I HAVE SOME INTERESTING TOPICS I WILL LIKE US TO DISCUSS IN THIS FORUM, PLEASE HOW DO I POST IT? THANK YOU.

it is one thing to post and another for it to make front page

i guess this is a huge blow to el rufai's book, i am waiting to see what his tweets will be

The pioneer chairman of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, has told a Nigerian daily newspaper that there is a “huge integrity deficiency” in Nasir El-Rufais book, “The Accidental Public Servant.”

In an interview with Blueprint, Ribadu explained that El-Rufai was wrong to have written about the EFCC because he was never a member of staff of the commission and knew nothing about its operations.

Ribadu, who said he has yet to read the book, also stated that the former Minister did not tell him he was writing a book and never interviewed him for it. “So, I am quite surprised on how you can quote a person that you have not interviewed. I think the ethics of writing is that you quote somebody with authority and that you can stand by that.”

He denied that he ever wanted El-Rufai as president. “He is entitled to his own opinions and views, and I respect that and you could sit down and write your own book the way you want it,” he told the reporter. “You can also decide to sit down tomorrow and write your book to say I had wanted to make you president.”

Below is an excerpt of the interview, which was published today in Abuja.

“I have not fully read the book but I have seen a couple of things coming out of it including the extracts from the media. The most important thing I will say about it is that Nasiru did not tell me he was writing the book, not to talk of showing me the script. Nasiru never interviewed me for his book. So, I am quite surprised on how you can quote a person that you have not interviewed. I think the ethics of writing is that you quote somebody with authority and that you can stand by that. There is a huge integrity deficiency bordering on ethics if you can quote somebody without first having to record him and you have proof of that. He didn’t consult me, he didn’t give me anything to look at and therefore just like you and all Nigerians, I was quite surprised to see him quoting me directly in the book.

“Nasiru was not a staff of the EFCC. I wonder how he could report about the work of the EFCC when he was never part of it, just as I will not talk of the FCT when he was minister. He didn’t know of the works of the EFCC and he couldn’t have known. He was not privy to all the things that we were doing there. He did not also show me what he was writing because, as I say earlier, even if you discussed something with someone before, when you are putting it into a book, it is only proper for you to validate it and crosscheck with him. Even if he agrees or disagrees, at least it makes sense. This is especially when the person is close to you because that would be an opportunity for the person to correct you.”

On El-Rufai’s account of some arrests EFCC made in Katsina State then, Ribadu said “That is not true. He was not in the EFCC. How could he know who was arrested or not? The business of the EFCC was to investigate cases and they did it and are still doing it on daily basis. It would be surprising that somebody would come from outside and just assume this happened or that did not happen. A local government chairman has nothing to do with a governor. These are some of the things that if he had bothered to ask, somebody would have been able to explain to him. Absolutely, if you are investigating a governor, there is money that goes to the governor. Governors take over 30 percent of the money from the federation account. If you want to investigate a governor and you want to get him, this is where you go to first and not the local government.”

On other areas of the book, Ribadu also argued about the statement that he wanted El-Rufai as president, “He is entitled to his own opinions and views, and I respect that and you could sit down and write your own book the way you want it. You can also decide to sit down tomorrow and write your book to say I had wanted to make you president. You can also go ahead and publish and people will read it. You see, what I am saying is if he had consulted with me on this book probably it would have been a different story, but he didn’t. For me, he is entitled to his own view or opinion and interpretation of things in any way that he likes. He is perfect in saying whatever he wants to say. Maybe if I come to write my own book, it will be probably different. I will not join issues with him on his own opinions and views. He is entitled to it and can go with it but it is his own truth. My own truth is that I was not in the business of recommending anybody as the chairman of EFCC.”

nigeria is not matured enough to have two muslims or two christians run as president and vice, if that is APC's plan then like someone said their 2015 bid will be dead on arrival,

With the rumours making the rounds that the Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi has resigned, our sources close to the Sports ministry have confirmed that the rumours are true.

Keshi was reported to have spoken about his resignation in an interview with a South African radio station saying he had tendered his resignation letter.

According to SuperSports presenter, Robert Marawa, Keshi revealed his intention to vacate his position on a Metro FM radio programme.

Marawa said, “Stephen Keshi has just announced that he handed over his resignation letter after the game exclusively on 083Sport@6With Marawa on MetroFM.”

After some moments of uncertainty about the status of the coach, our source close to the ministry confirmed to YNaija the story is true.

According to sources, the coach has resigned and the ministry is just waiting for an official statement on the issue.

The source close to the sports ministry said, “It appears the story is true, all we are waiting for is an official statement.”

What further lends credence to this report is a tweet from Ohimai Amaize, the Special Assistant to the Minister of Sports, Bolaji Abdulllahi who tweeted: “I shall be updating us on the latest developments on the purported Keshi resignation once I get an official statement from South Africa.”

This statement came after he earlier tweeted categorically denying the said resignation.

There is, however, no official statement to this effect from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on the issue.

Stephen Keshi coached the Super Eagles to win the 2013 African Cup of Nations in South Africa with the team beating the Stallions of Burkina Faso in a tension-soaked encounter on Sunday.

The team is scheduled to meet with President Goodluck Jonathan when they return to the country on Tuesday.

onatisi: that is exactly what keshi wants.he wants nigerians to know how decietful the nff is.but i think he is not taking the nigerian factor into consideration.this might spoil his plans

if osaze could get so much attention with his tweets i think we can do much more, maybe the change we seek in nigeria will start from the nff, we could do a hashtag thing on twitter like #operation over NFF, enough is enough

if two million nigerians are viewing this thread then we have the perfect platform to start a social media campaign against the nff

keshi is on the right track, nff needs an overhaul, we can make our dissatisfaction with the nff known and if possible stage a social media revolt and see where it takes us

onthefence: If we must re-hire a Nigerian Coach, go for Oliseh. He has the mental capacity to organise the boys.

lol over nff dead body, dem no go ever gree, oliseh too strong for nff

apache77: those boys are gone...especially osaze. maybe he did well, wen his head was down. But now? he will only be a problem in the dressing room. he can never change. If he has no fear for a white man in that white man's country9as exemplified by his behaviour during the QPR saga) how do you think he will ever have respect for an ijaw/isoko/yoruba/hausa coach and colleagues right in his own country? that boy has issues, and he should be left out of this team for good
yes, i think we still need taye for that left back position and we can still include Ogbuke. martins at 29? well, for the immediate present yes, cos he is still better than most of the other forwards we have there, ideye included.

By the way, watever happened to much touted new JJ Okocha? that haruna Lukman boy that could never even complete a pass

gbam. also i must add that players sometimes loose form, i believe that is what is happening to ike uche, i still believe in his footballing abilities though

victor moses, his first time of appearing in the nations cup and he won it.wooooow

how osaze go dey feel right now

ahhhhh yobooooooo God i beg oooooooo
