payperpost:They are not cousins. |
A seer in Poland has said the virus will become non existent on 17th March: A powerful spiritualist who is based in far away Poland has predicted the peak of the Coronavirus outbreak. Krzysztof Jackowski who has earned a reputation for himself in the aspect of making credible predictions about life events stated that the disease outbreak which has infected almost 120,000 people across the world with approximately 4,300 dead will soon be a thing of the past. The prediction of the psychic is coming on the heels of China putting the wild spread of the novel virus under control. Not only has the spread of the virus recently reduced in the Asian country which it originated from in December, the majority of infected people have also recovered according to the World Health Organization. The fortune-teller gave the 17th of March, 2020 as the year the disease outbreak will begin to significantly wind down across the world. He went on to describe the epidemic as a balloon which will begin to loose air. The announcement made by the Krzysztof Jackowski even though it is not backed by empirical analysis and scientific facts will come as some sort of relief to people who have become panicky about the ailment. Italy, South Korea, Iran have become the worst affected countries in recent times. The number of cases have gradually been increasing in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. |

We now know the script behind the Okada ban. It has nothing to do with insecurity. It has absolutely nothing to do with the silly and irresponsible conspiracy theory about some fictitious Boko Haram planting their operatives in Lagos. Come to think of it, why would Boko disrupt Lagos? How would the break up of Nigeria benefit Buhari, the chief patron of Boko? Is Buhari not busy rehabilitating his killer kinsmen? So who told you Boko is a security risk to Nigeria? The script behind the Okada ban is the multi billion naira this transport sector is generating. The sector has remained virtually in the hands of the operators in the informal sector. The state is not making a dime from the multi billion generated monthly in this sector. The only department of the state making millions from this informal sector is that headed by the Agbero-general of the state- Dr MC Oluomo PhD. DSc (Agbero Escatology). One tech disruptor saw the vast opportunity and decided to move in. That was the arrival of Gokada. They moved in by paying a few millions to the state. They got all the required license to operate and business started. Even the disruptor could not believe their luck when the millions started rolling in. They were like “Yeeparipa, aiye mi temi bami. Na money dey flow like this?” Even the Okada drivers working for Gokada could not believe their luck. One lady who was in tears when the ban was introduced claimed she was making N20k a day. That’s N100k in 5 days. News of the billions they’re making started filtering into the corridors of power at Bourdillon. Sangodele, the Life-Governor of Lagos State and the Baba of all Lagosians, Oko iya won L’eko, summoned Pointius Pilate to an emergency meeting. According to sources at the meeting, he was like: “Pointius, Ode ni e. Ori e de ti daru. And if you continue like this, I will make sure I ambode you too.” He continued, “right now you, Pointius, are the greatest threat to my Presidential ambition. I heard one Gokada man, a Chinco, is making billions under your nose, in my state, and you’re just looking like lookman... ...how am I supposed to replenish my Bullion Van?” With a tone of finality, he said, “I want a big chunk of the billions to start rolling into my Alpha Beta conglomerate account.” Pointius was escorted out. Our source said he was farting in the car throughout the long journey back to Alausa. The rest as they say in Mandarin is history. |

Bishop Oyedepo was at NO TIME Denied US Entry Visa -Living Faith Church Mainstream and online media spaces this morning were abuzz with the news that Bishop David Oyedepo was denied entry visa to the United States on Thursday, January 30, 2020. We wish to put it on record and categorically submit that this piece of information is NOT TRUE. At no time was the Bishop denied visa, nor did he create a scene at the US consulate in Lagos, as purported by some mainstream and online newspapers. The Bishop renewed his visa, last year, without any initial denial or drama, or scene. The Bishop was NOT at the Embassy or Consulate yesterday or even anytime this year. Bishop has been in Canaanland all this week. The last time he applied for visa, which was last year, he was issued without delay. We have been in touch with the US Embassy and they are as surprised as we are about this FAKE NEWS, which some media houses decided to spread. We encourage the Nigerian media to always tow the line of due diligence before rushing to press and try to at least reach the church from time to time, whenever items try to pass through the rumour mill. Professionalism and wisdom require this so as to maintain integrity and make the media trusted in the society, particularly in this age that fake news has become The News. Bishop Oyedepo is a good friend of the US government and has a very good relationship with US Embassy and Consulate in Nigeria. He is a social entrepreneur, who has touched so many lives in Nigeria, Africa, United States and all around the world. Prof. Sheriff F. Folarin Chairman, Editorial and Media Board LFCWW (Winners' Chapel Int'l) |
I remember when govt mooted the idea of dealing with fake news and social media lies, I watch Baba Bishop on YouTube saying no govt can arrogate to themselves power not to be questioned. We will resist them gagging our voice he said, like the idea was about gagging people not to air their views. Now, same fake news is dealing with him, lying that he was denied US visa, meanwhile he was never near any US embassy or consulate at any time... I believe he would understand the capacity and power of fake news now...���. |

If it was Abacha, you would either be in gulag or taken a bullet for the attacks and abuses you label as criticism under the banner of free speech. If it was Abacha, he would likely protect South African Interest here for their government's support in order to remain in power. Under Abacha, Armed robbers faced firing squads and failed bank tribunals. It was Abacha that murdered the man that represents one of the strongest pillars of Nigeria's democracy under which you are able to rant now without any fears. Just a few examples of what it would have been if it was Abacha. If it was Abacha, even your letter writing daddy knows where he would be cooling off right now. If it was Abacha, your present freedom of speech at the moment can only be assured from the safety of exile. |
The government has shown the utmost restraint in dealing with this diplomatic impasse with South Africa You don't have to like the government or those in power All you need is a little knowledge of how international relations work Contrary to the desire by some that Nigeria should have attacked South Africa with all guns blazing It just doesn't work that way with international protocols and conventions. Especially if you're dealing with a country of equal or near-equal standing in the international community Nigeria and South Africa are equal in economic, military and political influence in international circles. In bilateral trade, the balance of trade differentials tilt in our favour. In 2018, Nigeria’s imports from South Africa amounted to just $514.3 Million while South Africa’s imports from Nigeria were $3.83 Billion. (Source: UN COMTRADE data) In layman terms, this means that we make more money from trading with South Africa than they do with us so we need to thread gently and not jeopardize an economy already gasping for breath by taking rash decisions. All of these factors matter a lot in international relations between nation states. So you don't expect Nigeria to approach (not even invade) South Africa the way we would do to Togo for example. Because, despite the theoretical equality of all sovereign nations, some are more equal than others. Even America didn't rush to invade China the last time they had a trade war And they've kept Russia at arms-length all these while Only fighting one another by proxy. You must exhaust all diplomatic channels in a case like this. You can recall your Ambassador You can cancel bilateral agreements You can suspend direct relations e.g issuance of Visa You can exert pressure on your allies to boycott the other country If you have the clout, you can even get the super powers to look the other way while you pursue aggressive actions against the other country But you must, always, get international opinion on your side Except if you're USA or you're a maverick leader like Vladmir Putin. So, your social media influencer wearing coat and speaking big grammar Is just misleading you by saying the government should have done xyz. We simply DO NOT have that leverage against South Africa. Tell him I said he's an olodo rabata. International laws and conventions don't work like that Not especially for a third world country like ours. Let's hope saner heads will prevail and we can quickly work things out with South Africa Because both countries really need one another to provide leadership for Africa. |
WAEC is a good organisation. Many are not aware. Their conditions of service is superb, one of which is regular promotion so far there are no disciplinary issues. Their working hours is flexible as well. They close 3PM. |
BobiNick:Point of correction. It was not at Italia 90 neither was it from a shot from Roger Mills that that the maverick Colombian goalie made that fabulous save. It was in September 1995 at Wembley Stadium England in a friendly match against the Three Lions of England from a shot from Jamie Redknapp. |
Victor Oshimen also scored on his debut for Lille. He recorded a brace. |

Watched a quiz contest on the Big Brother Naija Show yesterday. It was sponsored by Dano Milk. Some of the housemates could not give the full meanings of NAFDAC and SON. Some did not know the name of the state that hosts the popular Argungu Fishing Festival. Some could not remember the name of the first Nigerian woman to drive a car. Some of them did not know that the country's parliament is called National Assembly neither did they know that the richest man in Africa comes from Kano State. Was appalled to find out that some of them could not give the three main classes of food. Elementary Science that I was taught in Primary 4 Baptist Day Primary School, Igbotako. One even said Wole Soyinka was the author of the 'The Thing Around Your Neck'.. I almost shouted at my TV screen. The two loud mouths in the house, Omatshola(always shouting Warri up and down) and Tacha(PortHarcourt First Daughter) could not answer a jack of all the questions asked. Only Joe and Dianne were outstanding. Generally, the performance of the housemates in the quiz competition was below par. Most of the housemates are below 30. I may be wrong but it's my general observation that a lot of Nigerian youths- especially the millenials- don't care about general knowledge of the country and its history- What is wrong? Does anyone know? BY DAYO WILLIAMS |

COPIED: Did you hear about Liverpool’s Super Cup triumph over Chelsea last night? It doesn’t matter whether you’re a football fan or not, there’s something in it for you. Sadio Mane shone really bright, scoring two goals -- one equalising Olivier Giroud’s neat finish, and the other, a deft strike, putting Liverpool ahead before the ref gifted Chelsea a non-penalty. But Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian was the undisputed hero; it was he who saved the penalty that earned the Reds the crown, and it was he Jurgen Klopp and the rest of the team sprinted towards at the blast of victory. Actually, Adrian had no business being the hero. Let me tell you a little about him. After six years in the employ of mid-table club West Ham United, Adrian — full name Adrián San Miguel del Castillo — was let go in June at the expiration of his contract. West Ham, a side that was only good enough to finish 10th at the end of the 2018/19 season, deemed Adrian surplus to requirements. He wasn’t even first choice for them that season. At only 32, Adrian was no longer going to have a club. Towards the end of the transfer window, though, Real Valladolid, a side only good enough for a 16th-place finish in the 2018/19 Spanish La Liga season, entered talks with him. You see Adrian’s life? Rejected by a 10th-place side, approached by a 16th-place one. Eventually, in the 59th minute of the eleventh hour, Liverpool stepped in to take him on a free transfer. Actually, Liverpool signed him to rot on the bench — as replacement for second-choice Simon Mignolet, who had left for Club Brugge to get game time. Alisson Becker was always Liverpool’s number one; Adrian wasn’t going to get it. He was merely backup. In a twist of fate, within a week of Adrian’s arrival at Liverpool, Alisson got injured in the very first EPL match of the season, paving the way for Adrian’s debut. In his second match for Liverpool last night, Adrian, the rejected and unneeded one, won the first ever medal of his goalkeeping career. Until yesterday, he had never won jack! Who is that person that has deemed you useless? Who is that boyfriend/girlfriend, wife/husband, that broke up with you? Who is that employer that sacked you? Who is that employee that unceremoniously resigned from your company? Who’s that lecturer saying you’d never succeed in life? In fact, who are those people coming to you because they only see you as second option? Take a cue from Adrian; you can succeed regardless of multiple rejection. Your biggest moment of glory can come during your toughest or longest spell of rejection. It’s all in the mind! |

Our people are wonderful. Our laws are fantastic. Our technicalities are technical. In the current dispensation of technicalities oozing from our "legal technicians", this case can become another medal for the Judiciary. I personally don't support rape but after listening to all the interviews of the lady, I instinctively halted. When she was asked if she protested at all, she said no. I am curious as to what transpired before then. My hypothesis is that the man in question must have toasted her before that time. What was her response? It is unfathomable to expect an acquaintance to just zip down on you without any previous discussions. Simple logic requires that. I further imagine that the lady was not experienced and possibly did not convey her opposition to such earlier wooing out of fear, respect, interest or whatever. The man wanted to try his luck( or ill-luck) and came at a convenient time. "He zipped down, displayed and engage" BUT SHE DIDN'T RAISE ANY OBJECTION.(According to her interview). So the thing happened so fast and she covered up. In the mind of the man, he had chanced her and he now had a sidekick. That was why he possibly engineered the second chance. It happened again. Now if that was not acquiescence, what would it be? Now, in all good conscience,I believe they had sex.I believe he chanced her BUT was it rape? It would have been clearer if he threatened her in any way especially at the point of that sexual activity or before it, andit would have been rape if she had said no. Neither of that happened. The only thing now is her age at that time. Unfortunately, 11 is the age of consent in Nigeria and she was about 17 at the time. These are the technical technicalities so far. Morality and law are not mutually exclusive but they don't necessarily have to be in agreement. On moral grounds, if truly they had sex as claimed, the guy should be blamed BUT in terms of rape, it is unrealistic but I could be wrong. What do I know? |
Xisnin:Until Punch fails to do these: .....we intend to seek redress to the fullest extent available in law and has requested the Punch Newspaper to do all of the following: a. remove from publication in their entirety the defamatory publication and online threads to prevent further harm to the Firm's business; b. produce an apology and a declaration that the allegations referred to are false and defamatory and cause such apology and declaration to be published in each of the forums which have given or could give reason for our complaint(such apology to be approved bu us prior to publication); c. provide details of the number of online posts made , together with website addresses; d. make proposals for the payment to us of damages for the harm caused to our reputation; and e. undertake to actively monitor and delete any newly published defamatory content relating to the Firm." "If the defamatory publication and threads are not permanently removed and the above undertakings are not complied within the stipulated period, Simmon Cooper Partners reserves the right to undertake further action as appropriate." |
On Saturday July 13th 2019, the thread found in this link; https://www.nairaland.com/5298561/osinbajo-firm-simmons-coopers-partners/4 hit the home page of Nairaland. In summary, a Law firm known as Simmons Cooper of which the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo’s is a partner was linked to another company fingered in alleged N100bn Alpha Beta scam. However, in a full page statement placed by Simmons Cooper on page 42 of the Guardian Newspaper of Thursday July 18th 2019 categorically describes as false, defamatory and unprofessional the reportage of Punch Newspaper. The statement which contained 9 paragraphs also extolled Osinbajo praising him for his intellect, industry and integrity. The latter part of the statement reads thus: "Simmons Cooper is aggrieved by the wanton, mischievous and unprofessional manner in which the Punch Newspapers has published defamatory statements about us and we intend to seek redress to the fullest extent available in law and has requested the Punch Newspaper to do all of the following: a. remove from publication in their entirety the defamatory publication and online threads to prevent further harm to the Firm's business; b. produce an apology and a declaration that the allegations referred to are false and defamatory and cause such apology and declaration to be published in each of the forums which have given or could give reason for our complaint(such apology to be approved bu us prior to publication); c. provide details of the number of online posts made , together with website addresses; d. make proposals for the payment to us of damages for the harm caused to our reputation; and e. undertake to actively monitor and delete any newly published defamatory content relating to the Firm." "If the defamatory publication and threads are not permanently removed and the above undertakings are not complied within the stipulated period, Simmon Cooper Partners reserves the right to undertake further action as appropriate."

newgroom:Your assertion is false. While Nzeogwu was planning the coup, Obasanjo was not in Nigeria. He was away either in England or India for a course. Obasanjo returned to Nigeria on 14th January 1966 and Nzeogwu did not inform him of the coup he was about to execute despite the fact that they were roommates at Kaduna. |
NIGERIA VERSUS TUNISIA: As it was in 1978 AFCON SO IT IS AGAIN IN 2019 These two teams which have adopted the EAGLE as their nickname, once met at the 3rd place match of the 1978 edition held in Ghana. The Green Eagles lost to Uganda in the semi final, while the Carthage Eagles were defeated by the host and eventual champions, Ghana. On 16th March 1978 inside the Accra Sports Stadium, the match was abandoned after Tunisia walked off in the 42nd minute with the score tied at 1-1 to protest the officiating. Nigeria were awarded a 2-0 win, and Tunisia were banned from the next tournament. |
