Wife: Dipo, who's that guy. Is that Chris Brown?

Husband: Chris bawo, no na. that's Theo Walcott!!!

Wife: Hey! Oh he looks like Chris ni....What's that yellow card for?

Husband: Its a warning to a player; and red means the player must stop playing and leave the pitch.
Wife: Ohhh! It's something similar to a traffic light: Yellow - warning, Red - Stop.

Husband: Yeah yeah sure.. You are right.!!

Wife: What about the green card?

Husband: Ohhh! there's nothing like that in football.

Wife: Which teams are these?

Husband: Which kind wahala be this na!! God! It's Arsenal and Chelsea. What again!

Wife: Ok ok ok! What colour is Arsenal putting on?

I concur with you and I dove my cap. I spoke from the Nigeria context initially because we often confuse schooling with education. Thanks bro!

amokeme: so what defines knowledge?

The Nigerian Content Development and
Monitoring Board (NCDMB) at the
weekend concluded the training of
members of its staff, who would
spearhead the design and operation of
the Nigerian Oil and Gas Parks Scheme
(NOGAPS), with the first phase
scheduled to be sited in Bayelsa, Imo
and Cross Rivers States.
The training was held in Yenagoa,
Bayelsa State across nine weeks with
the 45 participants also embarking on
field trips to Onne Oil and Gas Free
Trade Zone, Rivers State and Utuokein
in Ogbia Local Government Area of
Bayelsa State.

Speaking at of the programme , the
Executive Secretary of the NCDMB, Mr.
Ernest Nwapa explained that the
training was conceived to instill the
selected participants with a mindset
that would be focused on development
and manufacturing.

He charged them to apply the
knowledge they acquired in realising the
oil and gas park projects.
According to him, the NCDMB
embarked on the development of the
parks in a bid to promote manufacturing
of oil and gas components and provide
opportunities for research and
development.

He listed other benefits to include
bringing Local Content practice closer
to the grass roots and integrating oil
and gas based entrepreneurs into
manufacturing as well as supporting the
growth of Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs) through mentoring
by international Original Equipment
Manufacturers (OEMs) and other
multinationals.
“I want to be able to point at some
monuments and say that apart from
insisting that the industry grow and do
the right thing, create jobs and value in
Nigeria, we have also as an agency of
government created this pipe mill, this
oil and gas park and changed the way
things are done in the industry,” he
added.
He also expressed hope that
international producing oil companies
and service companies will participate in
the scheme to make it a success and
charged industry stakeholders to focus
on manufacturing of components as
against short term contracting which
had been the bane of the sector.
In his goodwill message, the General
Manager, Nigerian Content, Exxon
Mobil, Mr. Sola Ogunsakin pledged the
commitment of international oil
companies towards making the Oil and
Gas Parks Scheme a success.
“We believe in this programme and we
are going to contribute our quota
towards making it a success. The Board
has taken several giant strides in
promoting the Nigerian Content since
the enactment of the Act. This is going
to attract foreign and domestic
investments, promote community
participation, manufacturing and foster
the mentoring of local small and
medium scale enterprises,” HE SAID.
In their comments, the trainees
commended the Board for taking them
through an elaborate programme which
exposed them to the philosophy and
operations of oil and gas industrial parks
and promised to apply their acquired
knowledge into good use when the
projects begin.

GodMode: Education and schooling are not the same thing.

Yes but the point is going to school or having education doesn't define knowledge.

By Onozure Dania
Two businessmen, Noma Mohammed,
41, and Kabiru Mohammed, 32, were
yesterday brought before a Lagos
Magistrates’ Court sitting at Igbosere
for allegedly defrauding a Bureau de
Change owner of $50,000.
The businessmen, whose residential
addresses could not be verified, are
facing a three-count charge bordering
on conspiracy, obtaining by false
pretences and stealing preferred against
them by the police.
The prosecutor, Inspector Stephen
Molo, told the court that the defendant
committed the offences on August 14 at
12, Sanni Adewale Street, in Lagos
Island.
He said the businessmen impersonated
themselves as Bureau de Change agents
to one Alhaji Saminu Mohammed who
runs same business.
He said the complainant, believing that
the defendants were genuine agents,
gave them $50,000 to help him convert
to Naira equivalent.
The prosecutor further added that after
the businessmen received the money
from Saminu, they did not convert the
money as promised but absconded with
the dollars.
Molo said the complainant reported the
matter to the police who traced and
arrested Noma in Lagos, while Kabiru
was arrested in Kano.
According to the prosecutor, the
offences committed is punishable under
Sections 278(B), 312(1)(a) and 409 of
the Criminal Law of Lagos State of
Nigeria, 2011.
Section 312 prescribes 15 years
imprisonment for anyone convicted of
the offence of obtaining under false
pretence. The defendants, however,
pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The Magistrate, J. A. Adegun admitted
the defendants to bail in the sum of
N250,000 each, with two responsible
sureties each in like sum and adjourned
the case to October 15 for mention.

I will rather follow than comment.

Teaching is not the most lucrative job to be honest but we often end up having more respect for our teachers more than anyone else.

It has come to my notice for long that people naturally detest they teaching job.

WHY DO YOU DETEST THE TEACHING JOB?

I will comment later!

@OP, you asked 'why do I go to school'?. I will answer by telling you it's just to have education believing that it will be the benchmark for me to be successful in life. Like you rightly said, our parents has made us to believe that but we later find out it's not totally right.

We often confuse 'Schooling' with 'Knowledge', but it's has been discover that some people may have education without been knowledgeable and it brings to mind the debate of 'Brilliance VS. Intelligence'.

In conclusion, I thank God I had education because I read my way through to discover some fault in some of the things our parents told us back then and I have come to realise that there are two things that shape our destiny and define our future, 1) the choice we make and 2) our commitment towards that choice.

I submit!

I will comment later.

I haven't done something crazy in my opinion because I have done stuffs I could have done for some else, even a friend.
* I remember I paid her school fees when she used her to celebrate birthday.

* I disagree with her even when what she said is right just to cover my ass.(I was wrong about that I admit)

* I get scared whenever she didn't answer my call. (Y I'm I scared? Silly)

Good actions but I'm skeptical about the need for that. I'd rather use the fund to make research on Boko Haram or preferably Poverty, we've seen almost the demise of Ebov but not that of BH and poverty.

Senate President, David Mark, on
Monday, condemned the practice in
some states of the federation where
governors had been running the various
local government councils with council
chairmen that were not democratically
elected.

Mark stated this at the public
presentation of three books written by
the Secretary, Directorate of Legal
Services of the National Assembly, Mr.
Daniel Adem, in Abuja.
He also challenged the judiciary to be
more creative in interpreting laws to
ensure better dispensation of justice.
The senate president, who was
represented by his Chief of Staff,
Anthony Manzo, said, “You will agree
with me that the powers conferred in
the constitution on local government
councils are being usurped. Section 7
guarantees only democratically elected
local government council chairmen.
“I know there are so many states in this
country that are running undemocratic
local government councils. A local
government chairman should be like a
governor in his local government just as
the governors are like the president in
their various states.
“Governors should stop subverting the
constitutional rights of the local
government chairmen in their states.”
Mark urged the judiciary to emulate the
Western countries by ensuring efficient
dispensation of justice through effective
interpretation of laws.
He said, “We are also encouraging the
judiciary to do the work they are doing.
I think we have come a long way in
terms of quality of what is happening at
the bench. We believe it should be
better.
“Obviously, the judiciary is getting its
acts together and I hope that it would
only get better. In most climes, it is the
judiciary that determines and defines
the character of the democracy being
practised.
“In the United States, it is what the
judge says that is the law. You may go
and make your own law but it is what
the judge says that is the law. I want to
encourage the judiciary to be relatively
more imaginative in terms of looking at
the interpretation of the constitution.”
The senate president said there were
many aspects of the nation’s constitution
that should be looked into and noted
that the lawmakers were already doing
justice to that.
“There are some loose interpretations in
the constitution that we have to look
into. Being a nation where we don’t
trust each other, the constitution should
be as detailed as possible.
“For instance why should it be the
legislators that would define what is
gross misconduct in an impeachment
proceeding? We should not be a judge
or jury in our own courts, these are
some of the areas that we should
address so that we will have unbiased
pronouncement,” he said.

The Executive Secretary, National
Human Rights Commission, Prof. Bem
Angwe, at the event said the books
would simplify the process of legislative
engagement.

Angwe, who was represented by Head
of the Directorate in his office, Mr.
Harry Obe, said simplification of
legislative engagement was central to
the mandate of the commission.
“As you know, one of the critical
mandates of the commission is to review
bills, laws and administrative policies to
ensure that they are in conformity with
human right norms and simplification of
legislative engagement will help in this
regard,”he said.

The Lagos State Government says the
ban it placed on the sale or display of
rams by the roadside is still in full force.
The Commissioner for the Environment,
Tunji Bello, said this in a statement on
Monday.

Bello said government still had a zero
tolerance for the display and sale of
rams by the roadside.
The Commissioner said the government
would disallow conversion of open
spaces across the state to ram markets.
He said the Id el Kabir Festval should
not be taken as a licence to contravene
the street trading and environmental
sanitation laws.

He said, “The state government
encourages individuals to engage in
legitimate and legal means of livelihood,
but it will not condone violation of the
state laws. It is common for traders to
take advantage of this season to sell
their rams, but they must do so without
compromising the wellbeing of
Lagosians.”

Bello highlighted illegal ram markets in
the state which include the Agege Motor
Road, Ilupeju junction Rail line, Ijora,
Suru-Lere, Abeokuta Motor Road,
Costain, Egbeda, Alaba, Okokomaiko,
Olumegbon, Suenu and Gbaja areas in
Surulere.

The commissioner observed that Lagos
had attained a status in environmental
management across the world, and
should not be seen as engaging in
retrogressive acts like selling of rams by
the roadside.

He advised residents of Lagos to
embrace the waste management policy
of the government during the Sallah
celebration as well as patronise
approved operators for the disposal of
their solid wastes.

(*)Police begin manhunt for
murderers, says arrests have
been made


The Ekiti State police command has
announced that “a number of arrests
have been made” in the violence that
grounded Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State
capital on Friday.
The Commissioner of Police in the
state, Mr. Taiwo Lakanu, through a
statement on his behalf by Mr. Victor
Babayemi, on Friday said “a number
of suspects have been arrested and
taken into custody for investigation
in relation to the mayhem.”
According to him, “the Command is
also on the trail of the gunmen who
shot and killed the former NURTW
boss.”
Lakanu charged residents of the
state to remain calm and be law-
abiding.
“We equally enjoin the people to
comply with the dust to dawn curfew
order made by the governor of Ekiti
State.”
He also warned that “Any person or
group of persons found flouting the
order or breaking the law will be
adequately dealt with in accordance
with the law.”
The statement said the
Commissioner of Police again
reacted by leading the DPOs and
other officers on patrol to curtail the
mayhem.
“With prompt and decisive response,
the situation in Ado-Ekiti metropolis
was brought under effective control.”
“This also paved the way for other
agencies like Fire and Ambulance
Services to respond to the
emergency situation.”

(*)Fayemi declares indefinite
curfew, blames Fayose for
violence

Meanwhile, Governor Kayode Fayemi
has declared a dusk to dawn curfew
in the wake of the violence that
followed the murder of Chief Aderiye
and blamed the governor-elect of the
state, Mr. Ayò Fayose, for the
current violence in the state.
Governor Fayemi, who addressed the
people of the state in a statewide
broadcast, also said he was “advised
incontrovertibly that thugs acting on
the command of Mr. Ayo Fayose, who
was also present to lend his clout to
the travesty, brazenly assaulted a
senior judge and urged his thugs to
beat him up and tear his clothes.”
He added that “the fact that this
assault did not meet with any strong
deterring repercussions from the
appropriate authorities further
emboldened the miscreants.”
Governor Fayemi said the violence
had “led to the closure of the courts
indefinitely due to the inability of the
security agencies to guarantee the
safety of lives and property in our
temples of justice.
“With the entrenched atmosphere of
impunity, violence in the state has
escalated with the unfortunate loss of
one life and the willful damage to
several properties to arson by
rampaging thugs.”
Fayemi said he had contacted the
heads of the various security
agencies in the state but noted that
“It is worrisome that the slow and
inadequate response has occasioned
the avoidable escalation of violence
in our dear state.”
He announced the suspension of his
ongoing ‘Thank You’ tour “which I’m
undertaking as part of our
transitioning-out formalities,” and
added that “I have taken the decision
to institute a dusk to dawn curfew in
the state immediately.”
He said “there would be no
movement between the hours of 7.00
p.m. and 7.00 a.m. everyday till
further notice. We urge the citizenry
to be vigilant and provide the
security agencies with details of
suspicious activities that can
undermine the peace in our state.”
On the court matter that ignited the
violence, Fayemi said “the course of
Justice can only be delayed, but can
never be truncated,” saying “I have
directed the Attorney General of the
state to issue a legal advisory to the
Chief Judge of the state and all the
parties to the existing cases in the
state High Court and the Ekiti State
governorship elections petitions
tribunal, on the desirability of
seeking an alternative venue for the
hearing of these cases outside Ekiti
State.”


(*)Fayose describes killing as
barbaric, says Fayemi’s allegation
‘reckless’

Reacting to the development, Fayose,
who visited the home of the deceased
to commiserate with his widows and
the family members, described the
murder of Aderiye, his strong
supporter, as “barbaric.”
He said that the murder happening
at this point in time showed that “it
is a political killing.”
He said he would “rest it with the
police to do a proper investigation,”
saying “the murdered Aderiye was
my very strong supporter. We were
together till about 5pm yesterday,
(Thursday).”
He said “taking his life is not an
option. It is not the best. This is
irreparable and we have come here
to condole with the family.”
While pointing fingers, he said: “If
this other party is sure they are not
the ones responsible for the killing,
they should be courageous enough to
come and pay a condolence visit to
his family.”
Reacting to the mayhem that had
paralysed Ado Ekiti, Fayose said:
“What happened in town is a clear
reaction of the people to the steps
being taken by the out-going
government to simply cause chaos in
the state before their exit.”
On the allegation by Fayemi that he
caused the mayhem following the
court proceeding, Fayose said “he
(Fayemi) is a defeated man, so I
don’t expect anything better from
him.”
“I see him as governor until his time
is over so, I would rather not join
issues with him. It is reckless for
anybody to be making assertions on
an incident you didn’t witness.”
On the advice Fayemi said he would
seek on his ongoing trial, Fayose said
“I will want to accord the office due
respect and not join issues with him.
He has only said he has advised the
Chief Judge. That is only an advice
and there is nothing wrong with it.”
Fayose said he had been “going
round town to calm the framed
nerves of the people,” saying “if we
have not been calming the people
since last night, you wouldn’t have
seen the peace we have now,” saying
“their target is to make sure that the
inauguration doesn’t take place but
my desire is to ensure there is peace
and that is why I have been working
hard to calm the people.”
According to the governor-elect,
“having failed in their bid to twist
justice through the court, they have
now resorted to self-help. But I’m
assuring you that by the grace of
God, because God abhors people who
shed blood, the blood of Aderiye will
fight his killers.”

kingvicking: Curfew already announced, 7pm to 7am, funny enough Fayemi's press release direct accused Fayose of everything while initially its glaring that its APC at work.

Do you mean 7am - 7pm?

durocity: Curfew had been given by the governor: 7a.m to 7p.m

When Fayose was announced winner of the Ekiti election, the speech by Fayemi accepting defeat made me stand and clap for him that this is a true leader.
I never foresee all this happening, tribunal, riot etc. Then I realise that pple don't change overtime, they actually become who they really are overtime, Fayemi showed his true color.

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of
Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, has been
discharged and acquitted by Justice
Ibrahim Buba of the Federal High
Court of alleged laundering of about
N600m.
Ikuforiji’s aide, Oyebode Atoyebi was
equally discharged of the same alleged
crime.
The two were arraigned before the
Federal High Court on June 24, 2013 on
56 counts bordering on conspiracy.
Buba, while discharging the two held
that the prosecution failed to prove the
allegation of money laundering
preferred against them.
