A Spanish film is about to be released that shows how the 33 Chilean miners coped with being trapped underground for 69 days.

The 33 miners were all believed dead after the mine caved in on August 5, but miraculously, they were found to have survived after 17 days. Some 1,500 journalists were at the mine to report on the rescue operation.

The film's director, Antonio Recio said: "I'm interested in what happens down there. All what happened down there, their fears, their anxiety, their fright. The hope in the beginning, the desperation afterwards. When the drill goes wrong, when the bit brakes. All those things lead to emotions and feelings I think are worth telling."

Recio said that although his film was based on fact, it portrayed a version of events in the mine created by him and his writers: "Principally, I have to say that this film is based on true facts. Don't look for a complete copy of a character who was down there. No. What you'll see there is stereotypes of people who have the same feelings the miners could have had, but it does not tell the exact story. Not at all.

The film, called The 33 of San Jose, film was shot in the area of Catemu, close to Chilean capital Santiago. It is expected to be finished in December, when it will be shown on Spanish and Chilean television.

Honestly, this man had dealt a major blow to our already battered image abroad. We are here writing pages upon pages on a harmless and innocent Professor Emeagwali while the idiots that are soiling our image are rarely mentioned.

I think that this Adamu should be stripped of all the honours that he has in Nigeria and he must be relieved of any position he is still occupying in Nigeria.

Mr. Amos Adamu is nothing but a disgrace and must be treated as such. Madam rebranding should now know those that are sabotaging her so-called rebranding effort, so she should leave innocent Nigerians alone.

The so-called rebranding efforts should start from to federal Executive council before it trickles down to ordinary Nigerians.

The first Prime Minister of Singapore,Lee Kuan Yew in his political autobiography titled:From Third World to First:The Singapore Story on page 393 narrated his encounter with Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh, Nigeria's Minister of Finance in the First Republic.

The then Minister of Finance told the Prime Minister that certain regulations in his country had been changed because he.the Minister of Finance was planning to set up a shoe factory.Lee Kuan Yew could not believe that anyone would do such a thing:to cause laws to be changed for strictly personal benefit.In 2010,the story of Nigeria has not changed.

Greed,selfishness,avarice,cavalier disposition to the well being of the people and other negative vices has been synonymous with Nigerian politicians of today but the above scenario painted shows that perhaps the foundation of the country was rooted in corruption.

Maurice Iwu was an electoral disaster.

Is the Saraki family aware of this Islamic injunction?If the are not they must be apostatic muslims,with Gbemi Saraki aspiring to be next govenor of Kwara State.

Ibrahim Babangida visited a school to campaign.

The excited kids wanted to ask him questions and he obliged them

Dare stood up and said:

“Mr President. I have three questions”

1. Who killed Dele Giwa?

2. Why did you annul the June 12 election?

3. Who frustrated the judicial processes and why was Gani Fawehinmi not allowed to try your security chiefs for the murder of Dele Giwa based on evidence he had?

Before Babangida could answer the recess bell rang, and the kids had to go on break, when they came back, the session continued.

Musa got up and said:

“Mr President. I have six questions”

1. Who killed Dele Giwa?

2. Why did you annul the June 12 election?

3. Who frustrated the judicial processes and why was Gani Fawehinmi not allowed to try your security chiefs for the murder of Dele Giwa based on evidence he had?

4. Why did the recess bell ring one hour earlier, when it wasnt our break?

5. Where is Dare?
and
6. where would I be after asking these questions?

Another phantom tale from deluded minds.

Sweetnecta:
why can Bakare drop the Islamic name, since he left Islam? He should pick up a christian name because thats his religion.

I dislike seeing Keferi bearing Muslim name, especially the africans who left Islam. You his people should tell him that there is a muslim who hates seeing him clinging to Islam, still.

Abu Bakr, is Bakare. Thats purely Islamic name.

He likes arabic name, let him pick up Abu Lahab, Abu Jahl, Fir'awn, Iblis, Shaitan. Munafiq, Mushrik.

Prehaps,he should change his name to JESUBAKARE.Guess your idiosyncrasy will be satisfied.Shallow minded slowpoke in human skin

Professional boxing began with WBA as its governing body. Mid'60s saw a proliferation of governing bodies like the WBC,IBF,WBO. When reigning Champion Larry Holmes agreed to fight under the aegis of IBF,WBA and WBC, WBA lost monopoly of World boxing title fights.Football may soon see new unions challenging the "Old Boys Club" FIFA,who is fast dribbling itself into irrelevance with overbearing sway over Sovereign states

There is angst everywhere in the 3rd World where government funds sports mostly football almost 100 percent. Therefore FIFA's non-interference is wrong prescription destined to obfuscate the game. In any case its a matter of 50 nations becoming signatories to a new Football Union and taking their best players to the Union's tournaments. That will be the end of FIFA ban threats. And that we all know how corrupt FIFA is,it should stop playing the ostrich. FIFA must change or face the consequence of resisting change.

Mobinga:
What's his real name?

Information from the grapevine has it that his real name is BABATUNDE AREMU AMOS ADAMS from Ogbomosho in Oyo State

[b]Adamu claims innocence in bribery allegations[/


Amos Adamu, the Nigerian official provisionally suspended by FIFA over bribery allegations, has denied any wrongdoing.

Adamu and Tahiti's Reynald Temarii, two members of FIFA's 24-man executive committee who will decide which nations host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, were suspended by the governing body after being the subjects of an undercover investigation by the Sunday Times, who allege the pair asked for cash in return for their votes.

In a statement, Adamu said: "Allegations were made against me by a British newspaper on October 17 which prompted a FIFA ethics committee meeting on Wednesday which concluded I should be provisionally suspended from my FIFA duties.
"Whilst I wholly refute all allegations made, I fully support the inquiry since it is important that these claims are thoroughly investigated.

"Only by doing this will FIFA - and the wider football community - be able to trust that its appointed representatives are beyond reproach.''

FIFA's investigations could delay the announcement of the winning bid of the 2018 World Cup, which is currently scheduled for December 2.

To say that this man is shameless is an understatement.He still has the guts to talk.

If FIFA really knows that the guy´s real name is not Amos Adamu, they will do more that just suspend him. The will actually charge him to court for impersonation. If he is able to work with a fake name, asking for bribe is just a child"s play.

There was a mild-drama at Igando Police Station in Alimosho Council of Lagos State when a 28-year old man, Wale Ipolola, escaped from the police station where he was detained over alleged involvement in a rape case.

Wale was arrested by the police for allegedly raping a 6-year old girl (names withheld) who was his neighbour’s daughter.

Instead of defending the charge against him at the police station, he attempted to escape. But he was unlucky as the policemen launched a manhunt for him and was re-arrested.

He was arraigned on a two-count charge of rape and escape from police custody at Ejigbo Magistrate’s Court.

Police claimed he took the little girl inside his room, laid her on the bed and had sex with her.

The incident happened at their residence, 28, Modina Road, Egan, on the outskirts of Lagos, South West Nigeria.

The alleged offence was blown open when the victim’s mother saw her as she entered the defendant’s room. She wanted to carry her but she discovered that fluid suspected to be sperm was coming out of her private part.

She raised an alarm and confronted the defendant. She later reported the incident at the police station.

The suspect was later arrested and charged to an Ejigbo magistrate’s court.

When the charge was read to him, he pleaded not guilty.

The presiding magistrate, Mrs. S. O. Solebo, granted him bail in the sum of N200,000 with two responsible sureties in the like sum.

The matter has been adjourned till 1 November for hearing.

A man identified as Emeka died yesterday in Afisman Drive, Off Anifowose Street in Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria after drinking several bottles of Chelsea dry gin.

P.M.NEWS gathered that Emeka, aged about 30, died a few minutes after drinking the 12 bottles of gin. He was said to have boasted that he could drink 12 bottles of dry gin, after which he and a friend bet that he couldn’t.

According to an eyewitness, Mr. Humprey Ukoha, the body of the late Emeka, a bus conductor who hails from Ibusa town in Delta State was seen around 9 a.m yesterday. The corpse was lying beside the road at Afisman Drive.

“We realised that he and some of his friends had bet that he could finish 12 bottles of dry gin, but immediately he finished the drinks, he died on the spot.”

As at the time of filing this report, policemen from Obafemi Awolowo way, Ikeja Division were seen parading the street.

I Beg My Husband For Sex —Housewife


A petty trader, Mrs. Kate Ude, has narrated to an Ojo Grade ‘A’ Customary Court, Ojo,  Lagos, how she begs, cajoles and pleads with her husband to have intimacy with her.

The mother of two who revealed this in a divorce suit she filed against her husband in  suit number OCCA/054/2010, added that all her pleas  to enjoy her conjugal rights always  fall on her husband’s deaf ears.

She said that instead, her husband would turn her into a punching bag at every slightest  provocation, a situation she told the court she can no longer put up with.

“He denies me my conjugal rights with him. I have to beg, cajole and plead with him. Yet  he would not let me enjoy the warmth of his strong areas around my cold body.

“He does not allow me access to our matrimonial bed any longer. I sleep in the sitting  room with the kids while he enjoys the comfort of our bedroom all alone,” she lamented in  court.

She said that lack of trust and understanding have destroyed their blissful marriage,  while she further accused her husband of not providing for the upkeep of the family.

“My husband does not trust or understand me at all. He suspects every move I make both at  home and in my shop. I was once a fashion designer gathering the little money I make to  support him financially, but he callously packed my sewing machines and sent them to the  village, leaving me empty handed.

“Yet, he would not provide money for me and our kids. I single handedly pay the  children’s school fees and then sometimes pay the house rent. I was frustrated when he  sent my sewing machines to the village. So, I managed to source for money to start  selling foodstuff.

“After all my efforts, my ever jealous husband mistook my contribution as an avenue for  me to make money and take over his authority as the head of the family and defy his  order. His argument was that when women become richer than their husbands they would  start disrespecting them,” she said.

She prays the court to grant her prayers for the dissolution of the marriage and grant  her the custody of their two kids for proper motherly care.

In his reaction to all the allegations levelled against him, her husband, Stephen Ude,  told the court that he has nothing to say but maintained that he still loves his wife  dearly and wants her back by all means.

The court president, Alhaji T. A. Saeed, after listening to both parties, adjourned the  matter till a later date for further hearing.

The Cameroonian government has blacklisted Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, saying that he is an agent of Satan hoodwinking unsuspecting members of the public with “diabolical miracles”.

Cameroon Foreign Affairs Minister, Mr. Henri Eyebe Ayissi, in an official communiqué he issued this week titled “The Devil Is In the House”, described T.B. Joshua as a “son of the devil” pretending to be “a man of God”.

The Minister warned hundreds of Cameroonians trooping to Lagos, South West Nigeria, for miracles in Joshua’s church, to desist from taking the trip or face the consequences as the country will not stand by them.

The communiqué written in French reads in part “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs warns those who by naivety or deception of Emmanuel TV’s captivating images, or even those who by hopelessness, envisage taking the pilgrimage to Pastor T.B. Joshua’s Synagogue Church Of All Nations in Lagos, that they will do so at their own risk.

“The Cameroonian Government warns these pilgrims that they will face the consequences alone. This is motivated by the painful and shameful fact that Cameroonian men and women, in search of deliverance and blessings, once in that church, find themselves in bestial and pitiable conditions.

“Women are raped; pilgrims dispossessed of their belongings by armed robbers and left to sleep in the streets at the mercy of gangs. Many cases of assassinations have even been recorded. And this is without other cases that are not recorded at the Cameroonian Embassy in Lagos with the victims too ashamed to narrate their infernal odysseys once they are out of Hell,” the Minister said.

The Minister said that while the bible asks us to be discreet with gifts and donations to the poor, T.B. Joshua is seen daily dolling out bags of rice to indigent people.

Cameroonian newspapers which published the communiqué this week tell tales of hundreds of Cameroonians who sold their properties or borrowed money in the hope of getting miracles in T.B. Joshua’s Church, only to be disappointed in Lagos.

The newspapers report that Joshua’s TV station has gained popularity in Cameroon and many people are tempted to take the trip and receive healings and sudden blessings.

It says that Joshua is now in many households in Cameroon and many people believe the flashy images they watch on television.

One newspaper writes in French “witnesses who come back from that pandemonium reveal that to secure an appointment with this Jesus-Christ-reincarnate, they had to spend 150, 000 FCFA (about N50, 000) and the amount keeps going up, depending on the treatment and the case.

“This has led to confusion and disillusionment from Cameroonians, who on their way to Damascus, now find themselves refugees at the Cameroonian Embassy in Lagos.”

The newspaper report says further: “There are many here in Cameroon, convinced of the power and the blessings of this “man of God”. However, they forget that Jesus Christ is in our hearts through faith and with our practice of the Ten Commandments and our relationship with one another. Before the publication of the communiqué by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the bible said over 2000 years ago, ‘And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceives you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many’.”

When contacted this morning, T.B. Joshua denied that he has been blacklisted in Cameroon.

He said that Cameroonians who come to his church only heard about him in Cameroon and started trooping to the church in Ikotun, with most of them without accommodation.

He said that had he been aware of their presence around his church, he would have provided accommodation for them. He invited P.M.NEWS to visit his church for detailed information over the matter.

Senior Pastor of House On The Rock, Paul Adefarasin, has banned all minors from going to his church next Sunday where he will be preaching on “raw sex”.

The funky preacher also said men and women will attend separate services same day, saying that men and women cannot listen to the same message.

Adefarasin told his congregation yesterday at Eko Hotel and Suites where the service held that the message will border on sex, passion and pressure and cannot be handled by under18 worshippers as things will be said the way they should.

He said that he would have titled next Sunday’s message “Sex and the City”, the title of an American movie where there is no inhibition about sex, but later changed his mind because of the media which thrive on controversy.

“Only men will attend the first service. Women will also attend the second service separately. The third service will be questions and answers; men and women can attend it,” Adefarasin said.

He said that the message aims at stopping the devil from capitalizing on an area which is so crucial but hardly discussed in church.

“Men are attracted by what they see, but women are attracted by how they feel,” Adefarasin said, adding “men, do you know that if you help your wife with dishes, it turns her on?”.

Meanwhile, Adefarasin told the congregants that he is working hard so he can save his children from 25 years of labour he had to go through.

“I am going to save them 25 years of their life by paying off their mortgage so they can be creative for 25 years instead of trying to survive,” he said.

Fifa president Sepp Blatter said he had apologised to the Football Association over Frank Lampard's disallowed "goal" and revealed the governing body would look again at goal-line technology.

Lampard's shot in England's 4-1 defeat to Germany was ruled out even though the ball clearly crossed the line.

At a media briefing on Johannesburg, Blatter said: "It is obvious that after the experience so far in this World Cup it would be nonsense to not reopen the file of technology at the business meeting of the International FA Board in July.

"Personally I deplore it when you see evident referee mistakes but it's not the end of a competition or the end of football, this can happen.

"I have spoken to the two federations [England and Mexico] directly concerned by referees' mistakes. I have expressed to them apologies and I understand they are not happy and that people are criticising.

"We will naturally take on board the discussion on technology and have first opportunity in July at the business meeting."

Fifa had blocked any further experiments with technology at a meeting of the International FA Board, the game's rule-making body, in March.
