They should support him in prayer and hopefully he'll get it right. Family is one thing we all need, it's one thing we can always fall back to in times of despair. So, I wish the Adebayor's luck and hope they can all find happiness in each other going forward. God bless the black race and the rest of humanity as well. Peace!

No family or struggling man who has an unmarried or divorced sister in the house knows peace. Lucia, what are you still doing in ur father's house at your age? You use your moyher to divide a once united family that gave us Emmanuel? There is God o o , and I wish you well. You should not be speaking for the family when your adult brothers are there - even if they are your juniors. Leave your family or stay there quietly.

This is better lagos with no miscreants from the east.

No 13 pic reminds of my mother in her youth days. Choi ladies of nowdays had successfully traded their pride for money.

Your mother traded her womanhood cheaply at Abakiliki market. As college boys we had her on all four. That is why you never forgive us Igbos. To hell with you.

That part of the road has not been bad compared with Otukpa - Oturkpo, and Oturkpo Taraku segments. It must be overspeed. RIP to my dead compatriots. Too too sad.

Madam, you didn't remember this story in 2007 and 2011 until after the 2015 elections that saw Buhari sailing through.

You are one of the reasons why people of other tribes disrespect and see all of us as opportunists.

Anu mpama

You did not even mention the many flaws of the opportunistic write up.
First she was Mrs. Eze, but now Mrs. Ilonzo. She wants Buhari to govern like Yew of Singapore. Does she know that under Yew, the state barned certain foods and regulated peoples' behavior to extent that you could not freely choose ur associates (freedom of association). You could not chew gums whether by presciption or not (pursuit of happiness). Press was hamstrung and regulated by State (freedom of expression). Yew became legendary because Singapore after MANY years under him made progress. What would have happened if the country failed after Yew's oppressive regime? Will Mama Ilonzo be willing to allow GMB to rule for nearly 20 years like Yew bearing in mind the fact that things will get worse before they get better? Is she not going to shout 'marginalization' ? Will her charms only work when she becomes Buharis Associate? She must be a leech, detractor and gold digger. The President must avoid such people if he must succeed.

Seriously?? According to oral history, western style clothes only came into the present day Delta state as recently as the 1930s, but even at that it is surprising that two decades after, kids went to school butt naked. In a bid for the European imperialists to sell their manufactured products, foreign textile materials and sewing machines were imported into the country, and the presence of these products made it possible for people in Delta, Ukwuaniland for example, to take up tailoring as an occupation. Before then, the Onicha-Ukwuani people were weavers of the local cloth called 'nchichi or 'ukor ogbolu,' a kind of cover cloth. This cloth is small in size, made of cotton and tied around the body. This was their mode of dressing before the influx of western style fashion which stifled the local industry.

At the risk of anachronism (judging past events using contemporary standards), I am seriously wondering why these children were not covered with nchichi before being shipped off to school. I can see one little boy at the extreme right who is the only one not in his birthday suit.

All so note that majority of the kids in the photo are male, unlike now when the opposite is the case. How times have truly changed.

From the photo I recognize my Bomadi friends. One is a very senior military man, another a top ranking politician, yet another is a foreign based business magnate. Ijaw I salute una o o o.

Peugeot 404 was "the car" of the early 70s except you owned a Mercedes Benz 280s. By late 70s Peugeot 504 GL or L was already the in thing and 404 was naturally relegated to "nuturu m, nuturu m". The early 80s saw the emergence of 504 GR, and the 2000 version with a/c (ntu oyi) before 505 was rolled out in the late 80s. And that began the decline of Peugeot cars in Naija.

This car needs to be resurrected and a close look at it indicates that it carries more swag when compared to the recently trending VW BEETLES..

Opigwe. Opiachara!

You should have allowed him to enjoy his sleep while you enjoy the food and pass the left over to him later...what a sad story.

You are right. Sleep deprivation is more deadly than food deprivation. These days more people find refreshing sleep in Lagos scarcer than food. It could even lead to overaction like that. RIP TO THE DEAD.

what do i do about this

I tell u, blood is not always family. I know a doctor from Imo State Nigeria who did almost as much, if not more for his family but today his life and that of his family is in danger from his family members who insist he should ignore his family of wife and children in order to continue to provide his parasitic siblings (all married), their wives / husbands and children the same level of care he was giving to them when he was a bachelor. They even drove away his wife and he had to relocate, remarry, raise his own family and is carrying own with his life. You have to see a lawyer, a pastor and counsellors before it is too late. Good luck to you.

A GROUP, United Nigerians In Diaspora, UNID, has
called on the Federal Government to prevail on
the Indonesian government to stay action on its
plans to execute eight more Nigerian citizens for
drug related offences.

Briefing newsmen in Lagos, the group’s
president, Mr. Paschal Okolie, condemned what it
described as the poor attitude of the government
towards the recent execution of four Nigerians in
Indonesia.

His words: ”Considering that the next batch of
execution will take place in no distant time in
Indonesia, we urge the good people of Nigeria and
our government to rise up with the entire world to
stop further executions of Nigerians. Enough of
the killings. Nigeria should leverage on the strong
bilateral relationship it has with Indonesia and
negotiate to stop the execution of the eight
waiting to be killed. In as much as we totally
condemn drug trafficking and wish to sensitise
intending traffickers on the consequences that
awaits offenders, we also condemn capital
punishment especially since it has not been able to
quell the issue of drug trafficking in Indonesia.”
Okolie who gave names of those awaiting further
execution as, Michael Titus Igwe, Kingsley
Okonkwo, Uchenna Onyewuru, Eugene Ape,
Hunphery Ejike, Obinna Nwajiagu, Benjamin
Onuoha and Ikenna Abanukwu, said, ”Nigerian
Embassy in Indonesia is longer concerned with
passport renewals than the welfare or security of
Nigerians. Those Nigerians killed were not giving
fair trial, there is language barrier which made it
impossible for them to defend themselves
properly, Nigerian embassy did not even send
representatives to court to assist them, so they
were left at the mercy of Indonesia which was
bent on killing them.”

‘’Most times Nigerians are thrown into prisons for
more than four months without anyone knowing
about it. They are tortured and some even die in
the process. The way a country treats her
citizens, is a reflection of how the citizens will be
treated in foreign lands. Therefore, we feel it is
high time our government rose to the occasion to
ameliorate the plight of its citizens.’’

“we expected our government to show concern
just like other countries whose nationals were
involved. The way a government treats its
citizens, is a reflection of how the citizens are
likely to be treated in foreign lands. Therefore,
we feel it is high time our government rose to the
occasion to ameliorate the plights of its citizens
no matter the circumstance.

We use this opportunity to appeal to the youth, to
beware of the kind of friendships they keep as
well as activities they engage themselves. One of
the reasons there are many young Nigerians in
prisons in different countries of the world today,
is due to get rich quick syndrome, fast track. But
in the end, they lose everything including their
lives.”


http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/8-more-nigerians-face-execution-in-indonesia-diaspora-group/

I have two questions. Are there no Indonesians living in Nigeria that we can give reciprocal special treatment? If there are no Indonesians here, why are Nigerians flocking to Indonesia just to break laws that carry capital punishment?

Another person one can't criticise is that erstwhile Chicago drug lord, yea him, the Jagaban of cocaine trafficking himself.

Can't name him abeg, he's been particularly litigious of late, threatening to sue tv station that exposed his shady past.

To the first three, YES. The fourth and the Pope - MAY BE, and to the rest, DON'T THINK SO. My personal humble and honest opinion though. And Yes, I am Igbo.

This madam is very funny, for six years what did she and her boss do, the persons that were indicted in subsidy fraud how many did they prosecute ?? now the floor is open , let the TANIOD come and defend her

Ngozi for the many years you were in charge of Finance, I dont remember you speaking out in his this manner about existence of a constructive oil cartel. Did you give this kind of warning at anytime to the outbgoing President? If you did and nothing was done, then executive weakness is further confirmed, BUT if you did not, you are culpable of collosal national disservice and breach of trust and honor.

What is the link between the killing of 4 soldiers / 30 civilians in the north by northerners and the pogrom of almost half century? You want to take us back to that sore era, or perhaps that is the only thing you know of your country? The only way we can stop people like you is to teach it in schools as it happened now that some of the actors are still alive.

Senator1974:
Well this is one of the reasons why i prefer APC to PDP. It is not all about the individual image and their influence in the government, but much more about who can perfectly get the job done!

CHANGE IS HERE!

Then why are they quarreling? Politicians are the same selfish group all over the world. Good politicians exist only in theory since after Ghandi, Mandela and Awo. People used CHANGE to win elections without understanding or being ready for it. They exploited a weakness with no plans to remedy it. The worst political fate to befall an elected person is VOTER'S REMORSE.

Anuofia!

I'm a catholic, and yes maybe more than you, and moreso am a madonna university alumni. Father Edeh was ex-communicated years ago, the catholic church has nothing whatsoever to do with the school. If you did not hear it before now then you've heard it today. Stop living in ignorance and accept what is simply the truth.

And whoever told you ordination is for life? Are you sure you know the road to a catholic church? Don't come here and show us how big of a mumu u are.

Nkita. The catholic church to which we belong has needed reformstion from time to time, more now than before. Ask Father Mbaka the neo Father Edeh. You may be more catholic than I, but I see you as parochial, unspiritual, unable to accept timely truth and HELL BOUND. No insults or judgment intended- just what is apparent.

ekiloui:
Get your facts right! Madonna University isn't owned by a church. It is a private business owned by an ex-priest of the church, and the catholic church has no business whatsoever with the school or how it's run.

B4 u run ur mouth like tap there

Cheese brain! When was Rev. Father Edeh de-ordained? Ordination is for life. Nominal christian like you. Are you more catholic than me? Ewu.

42n8dzydoo:
Wonders shall never end!

It is not new. The church that owns the University is one that preaches mandatory celibacy as against optional celibacy preached by St Paul. The result is unofficially married church officials, sodomy and all sorts of pervert sexual behavior among the ordained. You cannot deny or subvert natural instincts as such for long periods. They will find outlets which commonly will be unnatural or pervert.

The uneducated and lowly get cancer also but it may kill them undiagnosed or attributed to some witchcraft or bewitchment from 'our village'.

Good day,

We, Nigerian maritime student's in "BATUMI STATE MARITIME ACADEMY", Republic of Georgia, are writing to express our bitterness concerning the present situation befalling us and other Nigerian Students in the Republic of Georgia.

Firstly, most of the students who came into the country in 2011/2012 are in their third year second semester and are supposed to graduate by next year June,
 
We have been facing denials of Visa all through our study years in the country. After the first visa which brought us into the country of study, it has being almost impossible for us to extend our study visa which makes us illegal in the country.

Each time we apply for visa, a penalty will be charged in line with the Visa application fee and we would still be denied, when questions are asked as to the reason for the denial, the Ministry in charge would give us the following reasons;

1) YOUR FATHER IS A TERRORIST.

2) YOU ARE A THREAT TO GEORGIA.

3) FORGED DOCUMENTS (WHILE ITS ORIGINALLY FROM THE SCHOOL)

and ask us to charge the case to court if not satisfied.


Secondly, early last year 2014, the Government asked us to apply for RESIDENT CARD which we adhered to. After paying application and penalty fee, we were still denied, giving us the same reason for the denial. 

The law was amended and opportunity for new Visa application started on the First (1st) of September 2014  which we applied, some were denied and some got their visa.  

Now the reason for the denial of this new visa is based on our previous application for resident permit which makes no sense. This same Government that gave us the go ahead to apply for a resident permit are now using that as a bench mark for denying us our visas. 


They have giving an ultimatum of "July 1st 2015", that all student and foreigners in the country without a visa would face withdrawal from school and deportation. we have invested a lot for three years to secure a better future for ourselves and this Government, because of their selfishness, cruelty and no regard for humanity wants to ruin our future just like that, not considering all we have invested.  


 Last year summer, two of our Maritime colleagues who had valid visas on their passport were deported for no reason while returning back to school after the summer break.


The Government of other nationalities affected have interfered in the situation to protect the interest of their nationals by opposing this cruel act. We urge the Nigerian government and other relevant stakeholders to stand up and fight for Nigerian nationals before it would be too late. We want to bring to notice that there are a lot of Georgian Seafarers sailing on Nigerian waters and they are not being treated with this level of injustice and cruelty their Government is showing to Nigerian nationals.

We need our Government now, more than ever, to come to our aid.

THIS EVIL ACT MUST STOP

Calabar, Oron, Eket, Opobo, Bonny, Port Harcourt,Brass, Warri, Lagos, and Badagry have potentials for world class Sea School for the Navy and Merchant sea men. Those Georgian experts can be brought in as visiting lecturers. We will be able to train more for less. Our GMB will do the needfull, so hold on brother. Wish you well.

Even the Yoruba, Middle Belt and Hausa people who truly voted for him in droves are yet to visit him.

Some people are truly not shameful at all.

There is nothing more unequal than the equal treatment of unequal people.

- Thomas Jefferson

Everything is in order.

Jefferson, a Virginian who made that statement just b4 the American civil war was a slave owner who spoke from a position of interest, and in the context of a man and whst he called 'human merchandise' or slave. Does that state still exist? If Jefferson, a wordsmith were to be alive today, he would have looked at the Kosovo example and may reverse his sentence to read thus, "there is nothing more equal and more edifying than to treat unequal people equally".
