NOTICE: summarised as RUBBISH.

Good for the fool. These bus drivers do rubbish at that lekki toll gate. They completely disregard queues and try to insert themselves in impossible spaces. If I had a uniform I would have broken the head of many of these danfo drivers.

The teenager’s nightmare began in November 2005 when he was arrested by the Nigerian army and charged with stealing the phones and other items.

The promising student, who was hoping to study medicine at university, had his whole world turned upside down when he was handed over to police.

He told human rights’ activists that he was shot in the hand and beaten by soldiers before being taken to an army barracks, and shown the body of a dead man.

But when he was unable to identify who it was, he was beaten again.

The teenager was not allowed to call a lawyer or even his own mother and for 24 hours no-one knew where he was.

But his nightmare continued after he was moved to Ekpan police station in Delta State where he claims he was beaten again, this time with machetes and batons.

He said he was also tied and hanged upside down for several hours and pliers were used to pull out both his fingernails and toe nails before signing two confessions written by police.

The then teen was convicted on those alone which he said he only signed to stop the torture and was tried for armed robbery.

Another stupid onyibo nonsense. Useless sensless statistics.

Lies - the guy is smart but he is not 24, born in 1989 he is 26 and again he is not the youngest african Phd holder, the same thisday online had reported Nkem Karl Iyari as the youngest African with a Phd at 22 see article below.

At a time when many his age would thank their stars for being able to acquire a first degree and some dare to acquire a second one instead of looking for a job, Dr. Nkem Karl Omebere-Iyari has distinguished himself as an exceptionally gifted Nigerian. At the recent Graduation Ceremonies of the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, Omebere-Iyari who turns 23 on the 16th of this month, bagged a Ph.D in Chemical Engineering. The degree had been completed in a record time of 36 months, straight from his first degree and with a EU Grant of £17, 000 per year for the three years.
Those who know his antecedents would not have expected anything less. The son of the Central Bank's Deputy Director, Banking Operations, Mr. James Omebere Iyari had graduated with a First Class Honours Degree in Chemical Engineering at the age of 19 in 2003. He was the best graduating student in Chemical Engineering that year. Before then, he had attended the Oxbridge Tutorial College, Ikeja, Lagos, where he sat for the Cambridge Advanced Level examinations in Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry at the age of 16 in 2000, scoring A in all three. Yet before then, he had attempted the Cambridge GCE ‘O’ level examination, at the age of 14, in June 1998 and got six credits. At the end of his Senior Secondary education at the King's College, Lagos, Omebere-Iyari, then 16 had eight As, including five A1s. Ironically, he never got his UME scores. The results of the examination, which he wrote at a centre in Epe, Lagos were cancelled along with others in that centre. His father, who also had a Second Class Upper Division in Business Administration from the University of Benin, said at the weekend that, since his son did well in the Cambridge ‘O’ and ‘A’ levels, as well as the SAT and TOEFL, where he scored over 80 and 90 percent respectively, the family decided that he should go to the UK.
The first of three sons, the native of Owanta in the Ika North-East Local Government Area of Delta State had won many academic laurels from his primary school days at the CBN Primary School, Satellite Town, Lagos. He did his internship with Procter and Gamble, Brussels, Belgium in 2002. Through a European Union funding, he was also at SINTEF Laboratory, one of the world’s leading Flow facilities at Trondheim, Norway in 2004; and German Nuclear Research Centre at Dresden, last year. Omebere-Iyari has participated in several seminars and workshops in the UK and Europe, while his articles in Chemical Engineering have been published in International Journals. He currently works as Process Engineer/Consultant at KBR Company, a subsidiary of Haliburton Group at Leatherhead, UK.
Should Omebere-Iyari not come home to contribute his knowledge and skills to the development of the country? He could not be reached to answer this question, but his father said, "He is a very patriotic Nigerian and is interested in the development of the country. But he wants to get further international experience before coming back home."
Iyari, who also holds a Diploma in Petroleum Refining Technology could not imagine what would have been his son’s lot if he had remained here. ìRight from his first year in the university, all his designs were computer based. We should try and develop the education sector in the country so that our youths can realise their full potentials. Whether in the Arts, Social Science or the Sciences, our school libraries and laboratories should be well-equipped. Computers should be made available to the students.’ He sees his son as an inspiration to his peers, that they can achieve whatever goals they set for themselves as long as they remain focussed and work hard.
The proud mother, Pastor Kikanwa Omebere-Iyari, who is also a business woman and farmer, said, ìHe has made us proud and I tell him it to his face. For him to be so God-fearing and well-behaved even when I was not there, young as he was, I thank God.”
Mr. Iyari said their other children are high fliers too. The second son is a Part Two Student of Economics at the Dakar Campus of the Suffolk University, Boston, USA, while the last, a Science Student, is in his final year in secondary school.

Dope but no future for Naija. The only future he has is in mode 9 - broke ass thinz.

AY lost his comedy and stopped being funny when he became more of a merchant and less of a comedian. He stopped speaking pidgin and is trying so hard to be like a Chris Tucker or some kinna African American comedian. I dont find a thing funny about him anymore, just see him as a hustling businessman. Bovi is the next big thing.

SOUNDKING:
are you drunk or naturally crazy?.

You took those words off my mouth. That was my exact question to the poster.

Any place ruled by an accursed is automatically cursed.

The first picture is VGC yesterday. High brow VGC and Lekki Phase 1 are worse hit by flood on the island.

FrancisTony:
Seriously!
My 8year old cousin can operate any phone even IF it's new to him.
He started the whole tricks when he was just 6years - sincerely speaking/writing, no one taught him.
Infact, he downloads games and some applications all by himself.
Children of these days!

I know a 3 year old girl that can operate any phone and download apps too. She finds non smart phones boring though. She started consciously operating phones when she was less than 1.

The oil and gas industry is mostly dominated by UNIBEN, UNILAG and UNN grads.

Remove NAU from that list.

Good list. However list is incimplete without UNIBEN, FUTA and BUK.

This is a hoax! a human womb can not carry 17 foetuses.

Rumpelstiltskin:
One mediocre Charlie too wanna be heard.

Does he even understand the meaning of fashionable? His English is so poor.

God bless that tailor that sewed President Buhari's cloth. Slim fitted, smart and very elegant on Baba.

I dare to say Baba even looks smarter than our immediate past president.

Charlie, e dey pain you say G7 no invite Ghana?

If charlie wants to be a fashion critic he should start with his grammar. This common phrase "be on suit" is so wrong, I dont understand what we mean when we say someone is "on a cloth". Please lets always think before we speak; someone can only be in a cloth not on a cloth. Is he standing on a suit or do we stand on our clothes? Charlie abeg correct your english to "in suit" and not "on suit".

Ambode is gradually revealing his incompetence. How can a governor represent a party chief? Lagos state is again in the full grip of Jaga.

Smell fish, this marketer is doing more harm than good.

Reminds me of when I went for a federal government job years ago. While discussing with fellow candidates during the interview, I met someone with a 2-1 degree from my course and my class in the university. Only 4 people made a 2-1 in my class of about 42 persons and we all knew each other. This guy wasnt in my class let alone having a 2-1. I was shocked! Later heard he got the job.

Sai Buhari - the good spirit now in charge of Nigeria will uncover every hidden evil even those of 100yrs ago.

OP and columnist are big fools, in fact very stu-pid to openly support hijack of a political
system by god-fatherism. Where is democracy then? If democratically elected governors cannot take sole decisions. Fools! Talking about grattitude. Monkey men.

Totally unprofessional. She wasn't asking a question, she was rather mocking President Mugabe. That is unacceptable. Journalism as taught and practised in Nigeria - it's a shame indeed.

Nigeria, it's shameful.

If this is a story, its an interesting story, if it is a script, act it, if it is real, wow!!!

It was wrong of him to have slapped her although she crossed her boundary. He should have simply asked her to leave his house and bring back his fiance.

Moderator please move to FP.

jorlons:
