So it happened that Oba Awujale's autobiography was published in 2010. Somewhere in that book are uncomplimentary information about Obj. The information is opened to denial anyway. Now, for six good years, a book written by Awujale was in circulation and a very powerful man like Obj is not aware of the things written about him in the book. His friends, contacts, aides, minions and goons never saw or heard anything about the book. A faceless dude excavated the information and posted it on facebook, that was when Obj and his aides saw the offending information. After a whopping Six Good Years! Chai!!! If you want to hide anything from a black man, especially a vindictive ex-President, you know where to save it. Don't bother to put a password. They don't read. |

T9ksy:A coup d'état is not a conventional operation of the Army. Preparations for it could not at any time be done in the open or in plain language. Therefore, when we discussed with officers, unless an officer showed serious interest, we always sounded casual and the matter was generally left unspecified and inconclusive. Today, if one were to ask “When did the preparation for the revolution really begin?”, the most accurate answer would be, “from 1961” , because the three of us who formed the nucleus of the revolutionary group had met in that year. Although we had not there and then planned a revolution, we had seen eye to eye and we knew we had a common cause. These meetings were between Ifeajuna and me one hand and between Nzeogwu and me on the other. This pattern remained almost the same throughout. The preparation for the coup started to warm up by July 1965 because by that time, the matter was more seriously and urgently discussed. Moreover, active efforts were made to get in touch with more officers of the Army so as to ascertain their inclinations and loyalties. These contacts were made most quietly and surreptitiously. Moreover, while Nzeogwu and I were making concerted efforts in Kaduna, Ifeajuna was pre-occupied with making similar efforts in Lagos. And the two efforts were not brought together until October 1965. SOURCE: WHY WE STRUCK: THE STORY OF THE FIRST NIGERIAN COUP BY ADEWALE ADEMOYEGA. |

Just have a look at the calendar for the month of September, 1752. Go to Google and type " September 1752 calendar" and see for yourself. You will notice 11 days are simply missing from the month. Here's the explanation: This was the month during which England shifted from the Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar. A Julian year was 11 days longer than a Gregorian year. So, the King of England ordered 11 days to be wiped off the face of that particular month. So, the workers worked for 11 days less that month but got paid for the whole month. That's how the concept of "paid eave" was born. Hail the King!!!In the Roman Julian Calendar, April used to be the first month of the year, but the Gregorian Calendar observed January as the first month. Even after shifting to the Gregorian Calendar, many people refused to give up old traditions and continued celebrating 1st April as the New Year's Day. When simple orders didn't work, the King finally issued a royal dictum which stated that those who celebrated 1st April as the New Year's Day would be labelled as fools. From then on 1st April became April Fool's Day. |
Our dualistic (God-devil) reasoning is fake. How do I know? It's because God and the devil are always playing the game according to our rules. We are the God and we are the devil. Calendars are artificial. On the Gregorian calendar, a year is ending today. But on the other calendars — the Islamic calendar, the Julian calendar, the Ethiopian calendar, the Coptic calendar, etc — there's no year that is ending today. But because we use the Gregorian calendar and our own year is ending today, then our God is planning to release prophecies to his servants tonight. He is also planning to bless some people in the year that starts from tomorrow. Etc etc etc. God works according to our calendar. That's why he is our own God. Those using the other types of calendar have their own Gods too whose work schedules will surely be different from ours. For instance, Allah is not planning to bless anybody in a new year tomorrow as his own new year isn't starting tomorrow. And because we use the Gregorian calendar and our own year is ending today, then our demons are planning to prevent some people from seeing the new year tomorrow. They are also planning to wreck havoc in some people's lives in the year that starts from tomorrow. Etc etc etc. Our Satan and demons work according to our calendar. That's why they are our own Satan and demons. Those using the other types of calendar have their own devils too whose work schedules will surely be different from ours. We are the God and we are the devil. |

Legit business ideas to pursue in 2017, post MMM 1. Set up a detective agency to track down MMM Guiders on behalf of those who were fleeced of their funds by sweet talk. 2. Write best-selling book: "Mo Ku! Mo gbe! Mo da'ran! Confessions of an MMM Mugu." 3. Invent a new psychiatric disorder PMMMTSD (Post MMM Trauma Stress Disorder), and hold counselling sessions for MMM victims. 4. Establish MMM Compensation Fund for legit losers of MMM Ponzi scheme, to be financed by selling the organs of MMM Guides in Malaysia 5. Establish database of MMM investors, and send them links to your new online betting website. Their addiction has no cure. You have not seen gloating yet. They told you those unregenerate scam artists have even accepted that their dangerous scheme has crashed yet? They are still looking for mugus to catch, you are asking for empathy. Miss me! |
RosaConsidine:Red/Yellow card was introduced in 1970. He was already past his prime and rather inactive when cards were introduced therefore your assertion is debatable.In contemporary times, Gary Linekar holds the record(no red/yellow card) |

I fear history a lot... It's subject to the forces of nature which most times are beyond the ken of human comprehension, but can always be interpreted by humans when history happens. Take for instance this age-less quote: history has a way of repeating itself; either as tragedy or farce. In 1985, Major Sambo Dasuki was the leader of the squad who arrested General Muhammed Buhari on the order of his principal, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babaginda. Buhari was later house-detained, part of which he spent in an isolated building in Benin City. While in solitary confinement, he lost his mum. A personal loss, more so, the last born... The military junta of IBB did not allow Buhari to go bury his mum because the despotic regime considered him ' a security threat' to the state. Yesterday, Dasuki lost his dad, a former(deposed by General Abacha, another rogue) Sultan of Sokoto, while still in Kuje prison, for taking orders as National Security Adviser, from his erstwhile principal, Goodluck Jonathan, on how some huge funds for arms purchase were criminally diverted to fund the failed re-election of Jonathan in 2015. Sambo Dasuki might not be able to witness the burial of his dad just like Buhari could not witness his mum's. The two scenarios look similar but they are not the same in context and circumstance. Dasuki's own involves a criminal diversion of fund which he's standing trial in court for till this moment and he's yet to be discharged and acquitted by any known court of the land. Buhari became a victim of the state because the man who ousted him from power felt releasing him to the society could be a huge risk to his own government. Buhari did not commit any crime against the state unlike Dasuki who's standing trial for financial misappropriation. His only crime was that he was dethroned from power. For those accusing Buhari of being vengeful, read your history very well and interpret them accordingly with the tempers and circumstances of the time it happened. Should Buhari order the release of Dasuki so he can go bury his father? I do not think so. Buhari is not the court. And no court has said so... Emotion has no place in law. If the NSA at the time the office became the ATM of the Jonathan era had not been Sambo Dasuki, the same fate would have befallen the same person. That I'm cocksure of. BY:DAYO WILLIAMS |
A few years ago, we had tried to buy arms from the United States for the fight against Boko Haram. Even though America is positively positioned against terrorism anywhere in the world; it refused to sell arms to Nigeria because of alleged human rights infringements by the Nigerian Armed Forces in North Eastern Nigeria. The Americans invoked Leahy’s Law, a law named after its sponsor, Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermon. This is a human rights law that prohibits the U.S. Department of State and Department of Defence from providing military assistance to foreign military units that violate human rights with impunity. What this means is that the international community expects all civilised nations that run democratic governments to treat even indecent people decently. |
