May be Juventus is cursed.See the way they just relaxed in the second half of the game.Why did they even qualify to play in the final?.However,congratulatuons to Real Madrid.

For me, I think something happened in the dressing room during half-time. My guess is that maybe the coach was too hard on them or something, because you can't play like that in the first half and come out crumbling like packs of card in the second half. So, I'm guessing something most have gone wrong in the dressing room.

It should av been Barca vs Madrid, they wud had been a better contender!

Is it the Barca that could not score a goal against Juventus or another Barca?

NtoAkwaIbom:
dat captain bleep up majorly, una dong win 3-1 already, u still go act muvi untop make dem comot Juve playa.

that was very very unsportly, you killed the fun of watching A champions league final.
Uefa Final is neva fun, when it is one sided.
the fun of the game is the heat, and the passion and the tension, non was there.
Barca would hv been worthy opponent.

I shudder at those that gave you these numbers of like for this trash you posted. At the bold part, yet your Barca could not score a single goal past Juve. Agreed that Ramos's action was needless, isn't that the trade mark of so called worthy opponent, Barca? Diving like sky divers; hoving around the referee as if their job is to ref; deceitful team. Oga go away!!!!

Thanks

The last time I saw or hear anything about Aunty Funmi Adams was sometimes in 1990, I was in Primary Six then, and now a Masters Degree Holders, when we shot the videos of her songs: "Nigeria My Beloved Country" and "All We Need Is Love" at a location somewhere in Anthony Village, precisely at Prince Jide Adeniyi's House (POATSON). The reason why I'm giving you this details is for you to see if it can help you in any way.

I also think if you contact people at the National Council for Arts and Culture, in Iganmu, maybe they could help you with the contacts of people like Mrs Tayo and Mrs Shokunbi or Aunty Peggy, or Uncle Dave, who I know are very close to her, because they took part in the Children's Day, 1989, Project with her. But it's been a long long time, you know, so ... It's been a long time my friend. I was a kid then, but now a proud father of two.

delishpot:
I cried o. I will not lie. I cried. I dont understand this life sef. I wish I had tge power to make every sick, disabled and fragile person strong and healthy. I am trully sorry for what that child and every child in the world undergoing abuse. Wish her well.

You even tried watching the clip, for me, I can't even watch the clips, talkless of crying. I'm a father of two young boys, I can't just imagine me going through the misfortune of watching such a horrific clips. That girl most be a devil reincarnate!

babythug:
It's generally believed in some cultures that a younger person cannot enquire about the wellbeing of an older person especially using the phrase "how are you?"

Yes, in the Yoruba culture to be specific: you don't ask your elders "ba wo ni"? It is wrong. So, I think the boss is Yoruba, and most have interpreted it that way. You simply greet your elders by saying "Good Morning..." with a "...Sir" to accompany it, otherwise, you're being disrespectful. Meanwhile, don't forget we're talking about "...in some culture" like you put it. So, don't generalise my statement.

dfrost:
Correct question. Infact I will be shocked if the SE/SS are not happy about the revelations. The development in most parts of Nigeria is nothing to write home about compared to the funds generated. I will be happy if someone fumigates my house before fumigating his own.

I hope everybody will think along the line, at the bold part, instead of the way that other guy would want us to go.
Thanks for your comment.

Jayson1:
They only see corrupt men in the SS, but the NE and NW are free from their search.






A round of applause to the bias EFCC.

Agreed that there are corrupt people in the NE and NW as you said, in fact, there are corrupt people everywhere in this country, does that mean the EFCC should not do their job?

FBIL:
You wrote this hogwash to attract some ''Likes'', sorry no progressive mind would like it. From our history, we are not ONE. Some tribes are more creative to make things work while the dullard tribes run the country down. You frustrate youths from the other tribe and force them into drug peddling, once they get the drugs, you collect bribes from them to haul it across. Those who didn't settle, you expose them. Instead of punishing crimes you encourage it because your salaries ain't never enough. 1 Nigeria 4 mouth!!

Idiotic post of the highest order. slowpoke!!!! And to think that you went to school beats my imagination.

Serendip:
I dream of a Nigeria where the use of words like Afonja, Igbos, will be a thing of the past.
Where Chukwuemeka will heartily call Adamu his beloved brother, where Olabisi will honestly call Ifeoma her true friend and sister.
Where we have a president called Adekunle Ifeanyi Ciroma.
Where we only see Nigerians and not a hausa or yoruba or an igbo man.

God bless Nigeria
God bless us all

I kind of share this your sentiment, but in reality, it is only on naira land that all these names exist. Go to Balogun Market on the Lagos Island, or Oshodi Market, abi Mushin, or Idumota or Alaba International Market, just to mention a few. I tell you, my brother, /sister, there's nothing like that or Muslim/Christian, everybody is doing business with one another without any hindrance. As a matter of fact, I've a customer in Idumota, Emeka, we do business together wella. There's another Igbo guy in the East, we have never seen each other before live and direct except on phone, and we have been buying and selling from one another for the past four years.

I'm Yoruba, and I can tell you that my best friends are none Yorubas, as in my greatest paddys-the Kevwe's of this word; the aniekan's; the Peredenrays; the Gemeyos, just to mention a few.

So all these Igbos and co we are talking about is only happening among the illiterates on naira land.

hammer6:
Judge, Jury and Executioner.

DSS disobeying court order whilst handing out death sentence as it deem fit in line with APC islamic manifesto to those it deems deserving of death.

If u think u have a case, bring him to court and do the right thing.

We know he was the brain behind GEJ TAN 2015 campaign and Buhari holds him responsible for losing Igbo vote.

If u harm a hair off the body of our son, u will know that an Aboki that have never given Igbo any vote have no business getting sentimental over losing the vote to a better candidate.

This post shows how myopic and clannish the so-called Nigerian youths are. So, from what you read you didn't see that that was court proceedings? "Our Son" Mentality at work.

JUST MUSING:

Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as far I'm concerned, is going to become a political figure to be reckoned with, as time goes on, in the political calculations of Nigeria in general, and the South-East region of the country in particular. He's going to become a political god-father, whose blessings will be needed by every would be political office seekers at the national level from the South-East. In fact, he may even become the Governor of his State, Abia, or a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Mark my words!

Kanu, from the way I see it, is gradually warming his way into political relevance in Nigeria.

Presently, Kanu is seen as a legend, and he is being treated like a hero who is fighting for the good of the Igbos- the reason why everybody is falling heads over heels to pay him a courtesy visit. You need to see his posture and the respect accorded him whenever people pay him courtesy call in his home

At a point in time, in the not too far distance, Kanu is going to drop the agitation for the actualization of Biafra and adroitly swim into the thick waters of Nigerian politics.

Just recently, he visited the former Vice President, Dr Alex Ekwueme, and promised to give heed to the advice of the elders, that he was going to listen to whatever the elders say. In order words, all that is required of him, as time goes, on is is for one elder state's man to broker a peace deal/truce between him and the Nigerian nation, and all will be history.

I stand to be corrected.

masterpiece86:
Ms. Bala-Usman had proposed a new arrangement for sharing the revenue stream. The company will receive 28 percent as agency commission from boat service revenues, while the remainder will be shared on a 30:70 percent ratio in favour of the government and the company respectively.

I don't understand this part, after collecting 28%, intel and government will still share the remainder 70:30 respectively, or am I not seeing something?

azimibraun:
See Al Pacino Dog Day Afternoon. Kanu is just the spur of the moment. Ferrari and Lamborghini are no match to Time and event in speed and overtaking. I know Mr Ralph Nwazurike and I visited when he was in Keffi prison. Now am sure not too many igbos remember him. A lot under the ipob movement don't even remember Mr Ojukwu started anything Biafra in the first place. Kanu's time will come and go like ice under the sun soon.

No! I don't agree with you sir, respectfully, that "Kanu's time will come and go..."

Here is my analysis: Kanu, with the way I see things and with the way things are going now, is going to become a gigantic political figure in the south-east of Nigeria, and also become a political god-father, whose blessings will be needed by every would be office seekers at the national level from the south-east. Mark my words!

At the moment, Kanu is now being seen as a legend, and this is the reason why everybody is falling heads over heels to pay him a courtesy visit.

Kanu as far as I'm concerned is only paving his way to political relevance in Nigeria.

At a point in time, in the not too far distance, Kanu is going to drop this agitation for Biafra and adroitly swim into the thick water of Nigerian politics. All he needs to do that is for one elder state's man from the south-east of Nigeria to broker a peace truce between him and the Nigerian nation, and all will be history. MARK MY WORDS!

haywire07:
That's how people of that religion behave.

Before writing this, you should have thought of this, that "if some guy somewhere were to impregnate my daughter, what would've been my reaction?"

Now, the people that brought in the "Muslim dad" into the narration has a motive, and they have adroitly dragged you into it.

The point is a guy impregnated a girl, and the dad is not taking it lightly. Or is that how to properly marry a girl, by getting her pregnant? I guess the guy deserves a medal by your estimation.

dealslip:
Walahi your head dey there. Funmi Adams, Roseline Ogunro, Felix Liberty, Chris Hansen, Nigerian artist with messages and no baby mama scandals. Educative programs like reach out, kiddies vision 101, mathematics competition , debate, JET society not BBnaija and all the immorality projected in the name of civilization and freedom of expression

At what point did we degenerate to this present level of decadence? My response, I guess it is at the inception of mobile technology; pay-tv; cheap internet data; and the influx of cheap mobile phones from china.

This is not to say this advent of this items or commodities, so to speak, didn't come with their benefit, but it certainly depends on the way we utilised them..., and this is the story of Nigeria. I think the likes of Econet, as they were then; MTN as a company; and Multichoice, owners of DStv, contributed greatly to the present level of our moral decadence with their so-called "who wants to be a millionnaire"; "Project Fame"; and "Big-Brother" respectively.

dealslip:
I remember when Halima was born. They had this girl when IBB was on the throne. In fact that year, she was the 1st baby of the year. I was in Primary 6 or so then. How time flies.

Yeah!!!! You can say that again! Same here.

We then later did a song together at one of the children's day celebration. It was Aunty Funmi Adams that wrote and composed the song..."Nigerian my Beloved Country" and "All We Need is Love". The show was held at the National Theatre, Iganmu, with the General himself present.

Afam4eva:
What you just said is common in every language. In Nigeria, you don't tell an elderly person how are you.

Exactly. That's the point I'm trying to make. Thank you.

daddyrich: Typical Nigerian mentality, very quick to find fault without offering any better Solution. What is the better way?

Ho, Sorry! The better way to greet someone older than you in Yoruba land is to say "E ka'ro sir/ma". I hope that clarifies it. Thank you.

k9ine: Ok you ended up arguing against the use of Bawo oni, and clearly failed to tell us the proper greeting. So how then do u expect us to know it?

You may want to please refer to my explanation above. Sorry for the mistake earlier. I was rushing to take FTC . Don't know the import of that FTC thing anyway!

Opinionated:
Bawo ni!
If you have visited any Yoruba speaking area, you may have heard this phrase used repeatedly. It is the standard greeting which is used in the morning until about noon. It can be used in both formal and informal situations.

Lalasticlala, Seun, Moderators, Nairalanders How far?

@OP, you need to be told, in case you don't know, that you don't use Bawo ni! just for anybody and at any place or time. For instance, in Yoruba land, you can't greet your seniors saying Bawo ni!, it is wrong. You actually use Bawo ni! for a much younger person than you or to your pal. I think that is clear. Just like telling your dad's elder brother that how far!, you know that's wrong, at least in the Yoruba context.

TippyTop:
You mean Fulani herdsmen were planning on kidnapping Jega thinking Buhari would lose again.

Had Dr Jonathan wanted Jega kidnapped, it would have been easy, very easy. He had all the apparatus of state at his disposal.

Perhaps you forgot that Jonathan was "under siege" so to speak. He was practically held hostage by Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar; Alhaji Aliko Dangote; Rev. Fr Mathew Kukah; John Kufor, former President of Ghana, and I think one other person. All these people were with him watching the proceedings, and they held him incommunicado with those that would've taken instructions from him. It was a well-planned script by the ruling military class. As a matter of fact, the so-called congratulatory message Jonathan made to Buhari was forced down his throat by these set of people.

Mendelssohn:
Was thinking this matter had been subjected to a recumbent position of perpetual hibernation. What's all these again? But really, I am in perfect simulacrum with an asseveration that there can be no smoke without fire. Though the thing must have been over emphasized by the traducer or rathermore under emphasized, stemming from religious sentimentalism from the congregation of dogmatic apparatchik who see anything that seek to question the integrity of these tin gods, golden goddesses, copper ancestors, religious dictators, micro authoritarians and semi totalitarians as affront and orchestrated design to desecrate their supposed immaculacy. To the acme and apogee of my understanding, there are evidences, sufficiently fashionable to procure me a conviction about the verisimilitude of this matter, starting from highlights from the phone conversation to various financial transactions as was circulated within the ambience of the public domain. I dare say at the risk of sounding platitudinously humdrum that this case be visited with more attention as a matter of urgency, to unveil the truth for the visual comprehension of those of us who have been blinded by the dust of uncertainty and deleterious incredulity.

I didn't know Patrick Obaigbhon is on Nairaland o!

Young man, if you really wants to help the victim gets justice, give us the house address where this inhumanity and injustice took place, and the Nigerian Human Rights Commission will take it up from there. I will be very glad if you could do that, please! I tried to get a glimpse of the car's plate number but could do so. Please pass the information across and I will take it up from there. Thanks

I have just been receiving "likes" upon "likes" for this my comment above, but that's not what I want. At least, somebody was present at the time of this ugly evidence. Let the person give us information that can lead to the arrest of the owner of that car and the building. It wont cost me a dime to deal with them all. but if it is "likes" you want to continue giving me instead of looking for justice for the victim, so be it!

Where did the OP put Alloy Agu. If not for anything for his patriotism. He even lost a teeth during Nigeria's quest for the World Cup in 1998

I was wondering why they are not calling for the sack of the minister of petroleum, then I remembered who that was

Yea! You're right. If not they ought to have called for the sacking of the petroleum minister, but here we are... na oga patapata and nothing can be done apparently

AceRoyal:
With the recent discovery of this money and the stories making the headlines, has Col.Dansuki been vindicated?Here is a quote from punch:

" Saturday PUNCH learnt that the NIA, which is Nigeria’s foreign intelligence service, explained that the money, which was found on the seventh floor of the building, was approved by former President Goodluck Jonathan for covert operations and security projects covering a period of years.

The money was said to have been released in bits during the tenure of a former NIA director-general.
A source said that the cash was approved before the advent of the Treasury Single Account."

With the above statement, I guess it's safe to say Dansuki has a case against the federal government and this government lacks inter agency cooperation.

There is so much dysfunctionality in this government.
No due diligence in investigation, only interested in media trials and propaganda.
I'm not against the fight against corruption but the government should be more proactive and diligent in it's fight against corruption.

In a bid to suffocate the opposition, the government is gradually tightening the rope round their own necks.

What's your take on this issues?

I don't even understand a bit of what you're saying.

I don't even understand the OP's rant. So incoherent to the topic at hand. I wonder how come the other commentators were able to piece together what message you are trying to pass across with this nonsense post.
