This woman is one of the few who's life and career is a stumbling block to the stereotype that the likes of Yerima wish to perpetuate. Intelligent, progressive and opinionated. I have all the time in the world for her kind of Islam.

stebell: ‎​M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ bro, sincerely speaking, he shud recognise Evans Bipi and dats ‎​M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ stance. Actually, it's de 5 lawmakers d̶̲̥̅̊α̇̇̇̊τ̲̣̣̥ hv been de arrow head but de truth is dat 15 lawmakers voted for a change of leadership @ de house. I stay in ph and hear dis de former speaker hv not come out ‎​t̶̲̥̅̊​o̶̲̥̅̊​ say de contrary. All peeps keep saying is d̶̲̥̅̊α̇̇̇̊τ̲̣̣̥ 5 can't impeach speaker were there are 32 members. Wen de Gov went ‎​t̶̲̥̅̊​o̶̲̥̅̊​ de House of Assembly, all de other lawmakers said they were loyal but in actual fact they are jus doing dat cos he was there. If they are saying no impeachment took place __̅_̅̅_̅̅̅Ω̴̩̩̩̥‎kA̶̲̥̅̊Ɣ‎​ let them go ‎​t̶̲̥̅̊​o̶̲̥̅̊​ court. Mind yu de Evans Bipi group said they hv a document of 22 lawmakers present dat faithful day and also another document bearing signatures of those 15 who voted for τ̲̅ђe impeachment. Well i'll be following dis case seriously. Ǥ☺☺Đ nite all. As for de swamp issue well i wud like ‎​t̶̲̥̅̊​o̶̲̥̅̊​ see a pix of where Wole Soyinka was born and grew up before i'll ‎​♍åƙε̲̣̣̣̥ a comment. Nite

Let them go to court?
I love how Nigerian politicians use the court to perpetuate evil once they know that Federal might is on their side.
One day,a mad man will take over power and ask anyone who feels aggrieved to go to court.

dejgan: Shame on the sponsors of this program that has been going on for the past few days on AIT. Shame on GEJ if he truly does know anything about this propaganda on AIT!! Shame on Dokpesi and AIT for allowing this folly to be aired on their network!!!

Dokpesi and AIT are major contractors to the govt. He does not have the conscience to do otherwise. Besides, as long as it is paid for, the other faction have a right to air their views and AIT has a right to accept their money for services rendered.

stebell: Ways ‎​t̶̲̥̅̊​o̶̲̥̅̊​ resolve de crisis in PH city. (1). Recall de Obio/Akpor Chairman and his councillors cos some sections of de rules and order of de house of Assembly were not followed. (2). Acknowledge and recognise de PDP in de state led by Felix Obuah, cos yu too came in as Gov thro de court. Yu were not elected. τ̲̅ђe supreme court brought yu in as Gov in 2007. (3) recognise Evans Bipi as de new speaker of de house of Assembly. After doing de above, then call Pro n Anti Amaechi lawmakers and ‎​♍åƙε̲̣̣̣̥ them settle immediately. I believe wen yu do d̶̲̥̅̊α̇̇̇̊τ̲̣̣̥ , then de kind of peace yu hv in ÿøu̶̲̥̅̊я 1st term will be available ‎​t̶̲̥̅̊​o̶̲̥̅̊​ yu again. Long live Rivers State. Long live #Team Fresh Air#. Long live Naija.

I see that you desire the peace of a grave yard.
Your number 3 point is akin to legitimizing irascibility and thuggery. If you asked for Loyd to be sanctioned and the 5 render an unreserved apology to the majority (27 or so) and also to the people of the state,i would have seen your point.
Assuming he does all this, what concessions are Wike and his band of clowns willing to make?

chidindufrank: Why did you marry her in the first place since you know she doesn't know how to cook and fuc.kkk? Mr man stop beating another man's daughter. If you're not ready for marriage join me in pick and drop sector. #my 8 cents.....

He only said she can't cook. He did not accuse her of the other.

philips70: It's a shame honestly. Olisa agbakoba must have left the office and taken with him all the dignity expected of an NBA president- the conscience of all lawyers in Nigeria

Falana Faults NBA's Call for NGF’s Proscription

08 Jul 2013

By Shola Oyeyipo

Constitutional lawyer and human rights activist, Mr. Femi Falana, has condemned a call for the proscription of the Nigerian Governors' Forum (NGF) by the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr Okey Wali (SAN).

Falana described the proscription call as "liquidationist call" that should not go unchallenged.

[b]The National Executive Committee of the NBA had held its bi-monthly meeting between July 5 and 7 in Yenogoa, the Bayelsa State capital where at the end of the meeting Wali was reported to have called for the proscription of the NGF in view of the controversy which had trailed the outcome of the re-election of Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State as NGF chairman.

Falana noted that: "Wali must have forgotten that his own election was seriously contested by his major opponent, Chief Emeka Ngige (SAN). In spite of the fact that the allegations of malpractice, including the fact that some lawyers who died several years ago voted from the grave! were proved beyond reasonable doubt no one ever suggested that the NBA be proscribed."

While noting that he rejected the insinuation in certain legal circles that the call for the proscription of the NGF was influenced by the fund collected from the government to host the last NBA NEC meeting, he added that:" I deem it pertinent to challenge his reactionary call before it is adopted by the forces of annulment in the country. More so that the call is a sad reminder of the fate that befell some progressive professional bodies and trade unions which were either corruptly taken over or decimated by the Ibrahim Babangida junta.

"It is particularly sad to note that the NBA which used to be the defender of the fundamental rights of the Nigerian people has thrown up leaders who are campaigning for the proscription of friendly societies and clubs. Even if Wali does not like the NGF he is duty bound, as a lawyer, to respect the right of the members to associate without external interference," he said.

“Regrettably, the NBA appears to be encouraging impunity on the part of certain public officers. Otherwise its leadership should have called the Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Joseph Mbu, to order for banning demonstrations and rallies convened in Rivers State without police permit.

“In the light of the foregoing it is hoped that concerned lawyers will urgently adopt decisive measures to free the NBA from the grip of anti-democratic forces and reposition it to resume its traditional role of defending the rule of law and the expansion of the democratic space in the country.

“Otherwise the NBA will soon lose its relevance in the struggle of the Nigerian people for the transformation of the country from civil rule to democracy under the rule of law. I am however convinced that that will not happen as majority of lawyers do not share the perspective of bar leaders who have contempt for the democratic rights of Nigerians.”

philips70: Those visited the injured lawmaker include; Minister of State for Education, Barr. Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Austin Opara, President of Nigeria Bar Association, NBA, Chief Okey Wali (SAN), Former Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, National Treasurer, Mr Kenneth Kobani, Former Transport Minister, Dr Abiye Sekibo, Rivers State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chairman, Bro. Felix Obuah and a former Commissioner in Rivers State, Mr. Bonny Iyaye.

What is that name doing in this visit for Christ sake? Or was there an error of identification maybe should be ex-president? But no, this man is the current NBA president. So NBA is now an arm of a PDP faction? Someone please explain the presence of that man in that delegation. Am confused here

Dude, let me look for an article Femi Falana wrote in THISDAY weeks ago addressing this issue. I am surprised that the issue has not been discussed in detail. The present NBA president is as political and biased as it gets. I wonder what the NBA is doing about it?

Barcelona coach Vilanova to step down - reports
Reuters, Friday July 19 2013

* Unable to continue due to ill health, reports say

* Has been battling throat cancer past two years (Adds details, changes dateline)

BARCELONA, July 19 (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova is to step down due to ill health, Spanish media reported on Friday, without identifying the source of their information.
Vilanova, 44, has been battling throat cancer for the past couple of years and spent two months having treatment in New York last season.
Barca vice president Javier Faus said he was unable to confirm the reports when contacted by telephone. A Barca spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.
Club president Sandro Rosell and sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta are due to hold a news conference at 1830 GMT on Friday.
Sport reported that Joan Francesc Ferrer, known as "Rubi", may be in line to take over.
Ferrer led Girona to the second division playoffs last season and was appointed Vilanova's assistant for the coming campaign to help with technical analysis of Barca's rivals.
Vilanova succeeded his close friend Pep Guardiola at the end of the 2011-12 season after Guardiola - now coach of Bayern Munich - decided to take a year out from football.
The pair, who were at Barca's academy together and coached the B side before stepping up to the first team in 2008, led the club on a spectacular four-year run including two Champions League crowns and three La Liga titles.
Last season, Vilanova helped Barca to a fourth La Liga success in five years as they equalled Real Madrid's record points haul from the previous term.

She probably contracted madness from Femi Fani Kayode.

Mcleo007: On Thiago. I don't see him progressing in Bayern. Two things are involved: 1. He gets playtime and disrupts team balance/spirit 2. He seats out the bench and fast depreciate in his learning process. Wither way, he is the loser. If 1 takes place, his master, Pep might lose the team and eventually lose his position (he's too smart to let that happen while he's at it). If 2 is the case, then what he thought was his problem for leaving Barca in the first place is but a child's play. Wither way, he remains the loser.

You sound like a jilted lover.
Just let the lad go and enjoy his new romance and focus on the lovers you have left.

dayokanu: ^^


What of option 3: he gets play time, rotates with others and the team wins more laurels. Who wins in that scenario?

why will Pep rotate a winning team?
Also, how will the team win big if he keeps rotating to keep everybody happy?
This thing is not as easy as you are making it sound.

AjanleKoko: One can hardly recognize this thread anymore
Reads more like the Bayern thread

you just dey sell market for Dayo.

dayokanu: Gustavo was on the bench throughout last season for most of it. And those in the starting lineup are not given automatic shirts.

If we need to close out games we play Boateng, Martinez Schweini and Gustavo. If we need to score more goals we have Robben, Muller, Mandzukic, RIbery

guy you sef know say this thing no be Fantasy football. Let us revisit this matter next summer.

dayokanu: You think thats hard?

--Lahm--Martinez--Dante--Alaba

----Schweinsteiger

---Thiago---Kroos

--Robben--Gotze---Ribery


Muller, Shaqiri, Mandzukic and Boateng on the bench.

if we need goals bring in Muller and Mandzukic, If we need to protect leads bring in Boateng.

Moreover everyone knows Robben cant be fit all season long

And you think Muller will be jumping for joy?
Gustavo will be excited ni?
I just can't help seeing an itchy bum or two in that Bayern midfield by January.

Johnpaul88: Bayern is an emerging force. They are not yet where Barcelona have been since last 5 years. But they are in the right track to getting there. So they cannot yet be an upgrade of Barcelona

e be like say you wan Dayo to give you E-slap?

AjanleKoko: Dem for even try collect one ageing defender off Bayern's hands.
Now they will take the 25m and go buy some midfielder

still waiting to see how Bayern will fit all these midfielders in.
even if pep plays 4-6-0, FC Hollywood is around the corner again.

ogugua88: You reap what you sow.

you can also wear what a tailor sows.
