Fresh facts have emerged in the case of extradition between Ogun State senator, Prince Buruji Kashamu and the National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) as the United Kingdom
government has expressed its own findings through a letter it recently wrote to Nigeria’s inspector general of police, Mr. Solomon Arase.

The NDLEA had last month invaded the Lekki home of Senator Buruji Kashamu, wanting to extradite him to the United States of America in order to face drug offences in the US District Court in
Chicago, Illinois being presided over by Judge Richard Charles Norgle.

However, after placing Kashamu under house arrest for about five days, Justice Buba ordered the NDLEA officials to vacate his house. He also ruled that the drug agency’s boss should appear before him
immediately to explain why the agency violated an earlier order which said that all parties involved in the case should not take any action until the court says so.

Explaining its own findings to IGP Solomon Arase through the British High Commission in Abuja in a letter dated April 27, 2015,
the UK government said that it is no longer interested in any matter concerning Kashamu, having discharged him in 2003.

The letter which was signed by Mr. Robert Hunter, a Police Advisor of the High Commission in Abuja and addressed to ‘Solomon Arase, Inspector General of Police, Force CID Headquarters, Garki Area
10’ also disclosed that the accused person is not wanted in connection with any other offences within the UK jurisdiction.

The letter, a copy of which was exclusively obtained by our correspondent through a dependable source at the UK Home Affairs in London, also disclosed that the British Magistrate who freed Kashamu in 2003 did so when he was not satisfied that there
was a case for him to answer.

The letter added that this was why the United Kingdom authorities had decided to cancel the extradition request they received from the United States Justice Department.

“I understand that the US authorities are seeking his extradition but can confirm that we have no current interest in this matter and he is not wanted in connection with any other offences within our
jurisdiction”, Robert Hunter said in the letter.

In a related development, our correspondent also gathered that the International Police (INTERPOL) had earlier cancelled the arrest warrant it imposed against Buruji Kashamu immediately it
discovered that the US authorities had at the end of August, 2008 withdrawn their own Search Warrant.

But the US is insisting that Kashamu is the same person as Adewale Kashamu wanted by its security agents in connection with
the trafficking of heroine into America for several years up till 1994. The NDLEA had also said that the US had sent a request to
extradite him to face the charges.

Must the UK wait until US took a step before they take a similar step? Why didn't UK do anything until US started making request for Kashamu's extradition?

Issuing a query to a player, the captain of the team, who has served the country diligently for more than 15 years just because he expressed an opinion about the safety of a match venue?! What nonsense!
Enyeama should tear the query letter again and again.
Let NFF go to hell. They can take whatever decision they like. What the Bleep!

Good!
The Fashola was a clueless, overhyped, arrogant opportunist!
Let Ambode appoint people that he believes can work with him.

Fashola created a phantom agency only to make his sister the General Manager! Corruption!

Happy Birthday Pastor Chris, be
strong in this trying times, God
loves you sir and i do too.

Which trying times? Was he not the person going about judging and condemning other pastors like TB Joshua and Chris Oyakhilome?

no2fuks:
your post shows that you are ignorant. first of all marijuana aka Indian hemp is not a "drug" and most of the ppl you mentioned like 50 cent and pharrell williams dont even smoke weed
stop talking about what you dont know

Foolish talk. It is this same type of talk and reasoning that pushed Majek into what he is today. He started with Indian hemp and later went into heroin. cocaine, etc.
Keep on justifying what is bad and wrong. The consequence is there for all to see.

Happy Birthday, Prophet TB Joshua!
Incredible that this man is just 52 years old. If you think about the fact that this man was heavily and massively persecuted since around 1993(about 22years ago) when he was barely 30years old! He was being persecuted and condemned by Pharisees Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) who were old enough to be his father! !They called him a demon and the anti-Christ
Yet, the uneducated rustic boy (as he often describes himself) did not for once open his mouth to speak evil of any of those shameless and blind PFN!
Benson Idahosa, the PFN leader at the time, granted an interview and vowed ''I will stop TB Joshua or lose my life''! TB Joshua kept his calm. A few month after, Benson Idahosa died! TB Joshua, on hearing the news, asked the congregation in service to rise up and pray for Idahosa's soul to receive forgiveness and rest in the bossom of the Lord.
Other members of the PFN like Enoch Adebayo, Mike Okonkwo, Oritsejafor, Ashimolowo, Kris Okotie ect all have criticized, spoken and ganged up against a young boy that was barely 30 years old. People who boast of being very educated and anointed fighting an uneducated rustic boy; yet the boy did not fight back. They called him all sorts of names; They used their pulpits to promote and encourage anyone who had any lies to tell against TB Joshua to come. Their crusades became platform to bind, lose and pray against TB Joshua. Many said they gave him the power and that after 10 years everything will come to and end. But the young boy kept his calm confidence!
Today, two decades after, the ''righteous Pharisees'' are now living in a big shame! They said TB Joshua does not call the name Jesus.....but it is now evident that that is a lie! They said TB Joshua claims to be Jesus Christ.....It is now open to all that that one too na lie! They said his miracles are fake......but the empty Pharisees are yet to bring their own original miracles that are better and more authentic. They warned and wanted Nigerians to isolate and ignore TB Joshua.
Today, people from all around the world are flocking to The Synagogue to receive incredible teachings of the Word of God and to be prayed for, healed, delivered and saved in Jesus name.

After our Pharisee tried so hard to destroy TB Joshua but failed, virtually everywhere you turn now(Nigeria, Ghana,Cameroun,Zimbabwe, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Europe, US etc) you see many pastors are now desperately imitating and copying all the revivalist innovations that TB Joshua introduced....now they have prayer lines, medical report for prayers, they now show how they give alms to the poor, they now also want to do show deliverance during live service using the same style and even words like TB J, they now stretch hands to people from a distance....all to imitate and copy TB Joshua....the same person that our Pharisees condemned to be an anti-Christ.

All of a sudden, the Pharisees have kept quiet, they don't talk about TB Joshua again!
TB Joshua asked recently during a live service.....is anything wrong with the people(pastors etc) who were making noises about him? Why are they keeping quiet and silent? Are they tired now?

tucky200:
Wonder wetin dis guy still dey find for pdp sef

That is where he should be, He is as corrupt as PDP. No integrity. A power hungry, self seeking opportunist

The highest amount spent on subsidy under YarDua was about 300bn. In less than a year after GEJ and his cohorts took over, we started hearing about 1.7trillion. Paying free money to children of PDP stalwarts e.g. Ahmadu Ali, Arisekola Alao etc
Is that the "best'' this corrupt woman is talking about?

Alphaoscar:
That is crass stupidity on her part. The venue , occasion, the manner and the language deployed are totally wron. That is a very wrong way of conduct.

Which one is worse? Mugabe's refusal to allow democracy to thrive or the lady's conduct.
Some of our foolish and corrupt African leaders need to be disgraced and embarrassed in public for plunging their countries into chaos. Look at what is happening in Burundi, a country just recovering from a brutal ethnic war, all because of the greed of one man?

Look at Jonathan. As much as we used to criticize him, we still respect and appreciate him for having the singular decency to leave power peacefully for democracy to thrive. Nobody could boo Jonathan. Everyone, including APC supporters and officials gave him a round of applause.

Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (SL)....that is a man that was bold enough to talk bitter truth to power.
But the foolish Nigerians lined up behind ethnic sentiments and called him names. He was sacked.

But SLS told them to their face....you can suspend/sack a man, but you cannot suspend the truth!

GEJ virtually killed his government by surrounding himself with highly incompetent and corrupt officials....the 3 people that eventually ruined his govt were, unfortunately, daughters of Eve....Patience, Dieziani and Okonjo-Iweala

Lattop:
python is ere Cobra is oka nd this is monamona or paramole

Cobra is called ''sebe'' in Yoruba.

I fear for that hitherto peaceful country called Sweden!

This shows how clueless, petty and incompetent this GEJ is. All hos latter day attempts pretending to be humble and well meaning are fake.

You can also imagine how many people he has sacked/employed after he lost the election.
I wonder what he is doing with the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) too....let him dump that one too on the senate before he packs his bags to Otuoke

At Medical School, a late bloomer

Afam Nduaguba, a Nigerian immigrant, worked hard for both family and future; eventually, things clicked





http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2015/05/at-medical-school-a-late-bloomer/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=hu-facebook-general


Pix: “I spent five years at Roxbury Community College. It should be a two-year program,” said Afam Nduaguba, pictured here with Chiso Okafor, Nduaguba's mentor and the interim dean of professional studies and career services at RCC. Nduaguba eventually earned a bachelor's from UMass Boston before applying, and being accepted, to Harvard Medical School.

Reminds me of what I personally went through, before I eventually graduated from OAU, Ife.
A brilliant student with 4 distinctions and 4 credits at O Levela (at one sitting), I got admission into the university during the most difficult times of my life. Dad had died 4 years earlier, no parental or family support. I had to rely on daddy's pools agency business to keep body and soul together. That was in the early 90s during the Babangida SAP years. Things were so tight that my focus changed from academic excellence at school to how to survive each day. I was going to school with empty stomach and with virtually just 2 pairs of trousers and slippers. I was missing classes and practicals. I had to change courses, moving from Microbiology to Accounting, even though I had never studied Accounting or Commerce in secondary school. I went through the hard times and graduated eventually with a 2:2.
I came to Lagos and spent almost 3 years doing nothing, enduring the insults and embarrassments of family members and neigbhours.
But Good is faithful. Someone introduced me to a church that changed my focus and reinforced my belief that God is always there for us. The pastor always says ''everything big starts little''. That made me stay stronger. Thank God for the teachings of Prophet TB Joshua and the life changing testimonies at the Synagogue Church of All Nations. Today, I give God the glory for who and what I am!

face of a transformer

Face of a boy that would grow up to hate and discriminate against the poor

Dubious and clueless govt.
How come they remember this at less than a month to the end of their tenure after being in govt for 6 years!
Let them go to hell with their figures. Buhari should invite new set of foreign engineers to evaluate the situation

So, what is 'amazing' in this?

Is Adebayo now a muslim or what?

godoluwa:
It's absolutely wrong for a man to beat his wife no matter whatever.

***FTC***
Dedicated to all men that will never beat their wife

So you will stand, laugh and clap your hands if your wife/woman should descend on your aged(e.g. 90years old), fragile and weak mother or dad (or both) and give them serious heavy beatings of their life in your presence?

A lady should never be beaten if she stays within what is acceptable. I can tolerate whatever a woman does to me as a person, but I will whip her if she does what I highlighted above.

I don't know where all this '' you must never beat a woman NO MATTER WHATEVER'' comes from
There are rules to be obeyed. Otherwise there should be no reason why a woman should be sentenced to jail or death sentence ''no matter what''!
If a woman armed robber comes into your house and kill your wife and kids, will you spare her if you have the means to beat her up or even kill her?

Nonsense!

I like Ben Bruce (he has created employment for hundreds of people)
But I dislike and hate the idea of selecting only government officials and political opportunists/apologists as the so called ''man of the year''. It does not make sense. When last did Silverbirds select a poor citizen as ''man of the year? NEVER. It is either one governor, minister, head of govt agency, a politician etc.
That shows the laziness that goes into that award and their bias for only well known faces in the political arena.
A woman working at the airport just found and returned a whopping N12m to the owner......Silverbirds does not see that kind of person to nominate as man of the year, but corrupt politicians!

As a way of showing appreciation to Pastor Adeboye, the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God, President Goodluck Jonathan recently met with the clergyman and his wife. According to sources, President Jonathan’s mission was to say thank you to Pastor Adeboye for the prayers, support and love shown him and his administration.

Where is the president's wife, Patience Jonathan? Has she divorced the president?

This guy's trip to Ghana in 2007 has proved to be a success.
He dropped out of the University of Cape Coast after one year and joined musical groups (especially Dancehall bands) in Accra. He used that opportunity to develop himself in that act. Today, he is the best dancehall act from Nigeria.

Reminds me of similar sojourn by Fela when he went and stayed in Ghana(1967-69) to understudy and learn Afro sounds which where making waves in the 1960s. He joined and played with several afro-centric bands across Ghana, including a band called Hedzolleh (means ''peace, calm, easy in Ga language) which he joined alongside Hugh Masekela from South Africa.

Ghana was the heartbeat of Africa in terms of music, entertainment and politics at that time and the ''afro'' movement/consciousness was the vogue back then as it was a kind of search for unique African identity or rejection of colonial influences by Africans. Virtually anything that was in vogue then was called ''afro''.....afro wig, afro maxi, afro hairstyle, afro fashion etc.

Highlife was blended/mixed with traditional African instruments, percussions, rhythms etc to create a different style of music called afro sounds/music. Fela tapped heavily into this and when he came back to Nigeria in 1970, he announced that is style of music is now Afrobeat.
Back then, Fela used to play a lot of traditional Ghanaian drums and instruments that he brought with him. While many of the earlier afro bands in Ghana faded away due to varied factors, Fela stuck with it and his social crusade against injustice, bad governance and military rule, eventually made him the greatest afrobeat musician.

Samething Nigerians would do if market and transaction is polluted and spoilt by foreigners ( ibos )

Most people abandoned south african product for inferior products from Nigeria just because of the cheap price. Nothing like price control again.

Ibos are claiming what does not belong to them in durban eg wives snatching, threatenings, egos and chest beating right on their soil.

Watch out for the same thing in lagos one or two years to come.

The same reason why Nigerians started having problems recently in Ghana.
Yoruba people have been the major Nigerians in Ghana for over hundred years, no problems, no controversies, peaceful co-existence with their hosts. Until some other Nigerians started going there with armed robberies, ritual murders, fighting in the neighnourhood /public places/markets, arrogant behavious, silly childish egos, disrespect for laws, norms and values of the host country etc. That is why Ghanaians are now just tolerating Nigeria, because of the ECOWAS treaties! If not, they would have sent most Nigerians there away from their country because we have mostly become bad influence in their country

chingydaboss:
They don't hate us.. They are just being jealous of nigerians..

Jealous of Nigerians for what? Killing of foreigners is out of ignorance, not because they are jealous of anybody!
What do we have that would make them jealous? Better infrastructure, economy or what?

The truth is, the attitude and lack of values of most Nigerians is no longer a secret to the world, and we have become a nuisance wherever we go. Go to India, it is the same thing. Or are Indians jealous of us too?

ozoigbondu:
We have said worst here on nairaland

But this kind of hate can kill.lf SA does not use drugs then no one will bring them in.

This kind of comment and attitude is what makes govts of other countries to execute Nigerian drug peddlers in their country without any mercy.
So if you are a responsible father, you would allow a drug user to be close to your children/family because. according to your analog ''if your children/family do not use drugs no one will bring them in''
That shows some justification and potential to deal in drugs

I am currently running an MBA at University of Leicester via distance learning. And, man, is this challenging or what?! From the very first module of the program, I experienced something about learning I never did through out my primary, secondary and university days in Nigeria. It's no wonder why many multi-national companies (including mine) favour international degrees to our local ones - I had always thought it was the slave mentality thing. But no, it's not.
All the modules have been very insightful so far (I'm currently on the 8th module of 10 in all) but I have found Business Ethics in a Global Context most interesting because of it's global view and comparisons about what constitutes ethical behaviour in business.
All things being equal I should be done by December this year.

Please can you be more specific as regards the overall quality/standard of the Leicester MBA?

texbiano:
@gboye_1999,
The Leicester MBA comprises 10 modules: 7 core modules, 2 electives and the dissertation. There are four exams (which are conducted at the British Council) and 5 assignments, before the dissertation. Also, the school gives you the option to specialize in any of the following areas: Marketing, Finance, HR, IT Management and Quality Management. I have chosen a specialism in IT Management.

I started the course in August 2009 and it cost me about 8,000 Pounds. I am not aware of any price changes.

Please can you give some information about the quality/standard/rigours of the Leicester MBA e.g. course content, lecturers, textbooks, exams etc

Did you watch the previous video of Mandela visiting Nigeria to thank the people before ranting in your ignorance?

Mnadela would thank every nation he visited....it is just courtesy and political.
Why is Nigeria's name missing on the list? Mind you, the not compiled in 2015 or 2014.
It has been there when Mandela was alive

I am happy there is this kind of record in SA acknowledging the efforts of countries that played appreciable role in their struggle against apartheid!

A lot of people talk with ignorance in this country. Maybe because we have been deceived by our leaders/govt into believing we are what we are not so that they can continue to deceive and rule us with ease !

Let me ask: what did Nigeria do for South Africa, apart from our govt officers/leaders granting interviews to speak against apartheid? What? Did we give them money or send troops to fight for them? Absolutely NOTHING! Yet, we Nigerians always have this stupid sense of entitlement maiking all sorts of irritating noises!

There were many countries in Africa that played bigger role in the struggle to liberate SA, but they dont even brag about it.
Countries like Ghana, under Kwame Nkrumah, played a major role in the fight for freedom and the emancipation of the whole of Africa (including Nigeria). There was a tiime when most of the freedom fighters inAfrica were accomodated in Accra and even employed in the African Affairs Department under Nkrumah.
But hardly do you hear Ghanaians saying ''upon all what Ghana did for South Africa'' anytime they have an issue with South Africa or any other country for that matter!

The list are Industries, NOT companies!

mjay:
Its you that is foolishly talking. Are their investments more precious than the lives they are hacking and burning? They can go to hell with there investment and investors. Whatever happen to indigenization of those businesses? Anyway I don't think we need blood money from ingrates. For all I care they should make their investments here unprofitable and its proceed unrepatriable. Life is worth more than all that. I just hope you see some of their heinous crimes against fellow Africans, I believe they will not go unrewarded, their land is now soiled with the blood of the innocents (Children inclusive) and they shall surely pay someday.

phantonce:
Some one should call me when the looting starts in shop rite or mr price.

Foolish talk!
South African companies have invested heavily in Nigeria, creating good jobs for Nigerians. You cant compare Nigerians' petty and sole proprietor businesses in SA with South African multinational companies in Nigeria. MTN, Shoprite and other SA businesses employ tens of thousands of Nigerians in Nigeria.
How many S. Africans are employed by Nigerian businesses in S Africa?
You have to think even when you are angry!

I made my comments based on the above post which I quoted and responded to. Or are you one of the people who wants to go and loot Shoprite and Mr Price?
Ok, look for your gang members and go and loot MTN, Shoprite, Mr Price, IBTC Stanbic Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, SAB Millers and ALL South African companies you know in Nigeria; from Lagos to Kano to Port Harcourt to Enugu.
in fact, you can loot and burn their offices and congratulate yourselves after the action. Kill the South African managers, directors and MDs in those companies as well. Then you would be proud that you have done a good job!
Then the Nigerian businesses in SA can leave, and SA businesses in Nigeria can close down!

I AM SURE YOU WOULD GET AN AWARD AFTER YOUR WONDERFUL CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ISSUE AT HAND!
