Brendaniel: naptu2 if you are a Tinubu supporter, you are a wicked man, if you are a Buhari supporter, you are a wicked man... You saw how Nigeria has been spoiling from when you were young and still support them, you are a wicked man, except you don't support them...
Anyone here who is a propagandist for any politician, is a wicked man. Anyone here who supports any of the thieving and lying politicians, is a wicked man and will suffer the consequences. Say amen.
Anyone that tries to stop anybody from legitimately criticising any of our politicians is a wicked man and will suffer the consequences. Say amen.
I do not support any politician and I will criticise every politician, including the one you support and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
There's a particular reggae artiste whose videos I posted. It seems the anti-spam bot will ban you anytime you post his name. It banned me early this morning for posting his video. The mods released me and then it banned me again when I posted his second video. It took a long time before I was released and that's why I couldn't finish the thread.
UPDATE: El-Rufai now contained to hotel room by DSS operatives in Awka
By Festus Owete November 16, 2013
UPDATE 3: The gun-totting SSS operatives at El-Rufai’s hotel in Awka appear to have withdraw. Mr. El-Rufai says they are no longer at the reception of the hotel. “We can’t find them here any longer,” the former minister told PREMIUM TIMES. “But we are trying to see if they have moved to the gate or what. We will only be able to tell when we try to drive out.”
UPDATE 2: El-Rufai now fully contained to his room in the Fontel Hotel in Awka, the Anambra State capital city. Entry and exit of hotel after the former minister tried to go out at about 3.30 p.m.
UPDATE 1: Operatives of the SSS are still there. Three of them are in the reception area while two are sitting in a white pick-up van, with registration number AJL 296 Al, parked outside the hotel. Previous access to newsmen now cut off. Mr. El-Rufai says, in a message to our reporter, that his spirit remain unbowed.
Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nasir El-Rufai, who was confined to his hotel, Fontel Hotel, in Awka, by the State Security Service has stormed out of his hotel.
The former minister was seen in the company of Senator Osita Izunaso leaving his hotel and walking into the studio of the African Independent Television where he is expected to be interviewed.
Mr. El-Rufai had earlier posted on his twitter page, threatening to resist his arrest.
“I intend to discharge my duties today no matter what, and will go out when ready. I will dare the SSS to shoot…..we wait and see…thanks,” he said.
Mr. El-Rufai, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, had arrived Awka, the Anambra state capital Friday to observe the election in which his party’s candidate, Chris Ngige, is a leading contender.
But security operatives descended on his hotel this morning blocking him from leaving the hotel.
Mr. El-Rufai said he telephoned the Director General of the State Security Service to complain but that his calls were unanswered.
Matters got to a head when SSS operatives forcefully seized the APC chieftain’s telephone in the midst of a phone interview with AIT’s Obiora Ilo, thus abruptly ending the interview.
Spokesperson to the SSS, Marilyn Ogar could not be reached to comment for this story.
Interim Deputy National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Malam Nasir el-Rufai, was yesterday in Awka prevented from moving out of his hotel room to monitor the Anambra governorship election.
el-Rufai told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the ‘Finotel Hotel’ where he lodged that some armed men of the State Security Service (SSS) restrained him from moving out of the hotel to monitor the election.
He said:“I arrived in Awka by 7 p.m. on Friday and had a brief session with the APC candidate, Sen. Chris Ngige. When I came out to have my dinner, I saw three heavily armed SSS officers at the hotel.
“I asked them why they were following me; they told me that they were protecting me because Awka is not safe.
“I told them that I came with my own security. This morning, as I was about to have breakfast, they blocked the corridor and tried to restrain me from going out but I pushed by and went to the restaurant to eat.
“After my breakfast, I will be going to the APC Situation Room in town to monitor the election. I am being unlawfully detained here,’’ he said.
NAN reports that at this point, one of the SSS men entered the restaurant and confiscated the reporter’s tape recorder and deleted the recorded interview before returning it to her.
When contacted on telephone, the Director of SSS in the state, Mr. A.U. Okeiyi, confirmed the report, saying that el-Rufai was being protected.
“el-Rufai is not an ordinary person. If anything happens to him, they will blame the security,’’ he said.
Heavily armed security men were seen guarding the premises of the hotel.
Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, reacted angrily to the development.
He said the former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) had no business in Anambra State on the day of election.
The governor said genuinely accredited observers are not hindered by anybody.
“Accredited observers are moving around freely. But I am not sure el-Rufai was accredited by INEC as an observer.
“Like I said before, he has no business or any reason to be in Anambra at this time. All he is doing is dragging the name of Anambra in the mud.
“I can’t go to Katsina and monitor a governorship election. This is a federation. Even if he belongs to a particular party, the party has chieftains in this state and people of the southeast extraction.
“People should know that we have one country and we must build it for our children. el- Rufai has no reason to be in Anambra State.
“Quote me anywhere. I can’t go to Katsina State or Kano or where ever he may come from and go and monitor elections there. He should stay there”.
I was told (I didn't read most of those posts) that someone complained that all the articles I posted were from Daily Post and that therefore makes them defective. What a funny and silly argument!
Therefore, I have decided to post articles about this same issue that were published in other newspapers. Since he wrote about Daily Post, it'll be nice to have him write about other newspapers.
Bro anything can happen. Some countries who value football and need their name to be seen in the female football can approach her. Especially, if the country eventually treat her badly or don't value her effort.
Asisat Oshoala has been capped at senior international level. She has played for Nigeria at the World Cup and African Nations Cup. FIFA rules do not allow a player to switch nationality when he or she has played competitive games at full senior level.
OkpaNsukkaisBae: E be like say dis guy na lowkey barca fan abi u just dey promote/crush on Oshobaby?
Why is it impossible to report about anything on Nairaland? If you report about politics, some people will say that you are supporting one political party or the other. If you report about sports, they will say that you support one team or the other. If you report about general events, they will claim you support one ethnic group or the other. Why??
This is a bonus track because it was released before 1980.
naptu2: Do you know that there is an even funkier version of Mother and Child? Yes there is. I posted it on this thread a few years ago, but it is no longer on YouTube.
You see, there are many versions of Sonny Okosun's songs. He sometimes released a version in one country and another version in another country.
Take this song for example. This version below is the version that was released in the US. It is the first version that I heard. There is another slightly more upbeat version that was often played on Nigerian radio and TV, but that version annoys me.
Guess who produced this version. Eddie Grant! Not only did Eddie Grant produce this version, but he also played guitar on it.
(I am still considering if I should post West Indian tracks. Bunnie Mack tempted me to post Sugar Bum Bum and this track is tempting me to post Eddie Grant songs, but they are not Africans).
This is not the song that I originally wanted to post. Daddy Fresh was popular in the early and mid-1990s and he released a song in which he featured an unknown singer. That singer later had a massive hit and his name is Daddy Showkey. That was in 1993. However, I can't remember the title of that song, so I'll post this other song by Daddy Fresh.
naptu2: Gosh! I can't believe that I forgot to post this song!
This song was originally done by the jamaican reggae group Black Uhuru in 1983, but I'm not going to post a video of that version because Black Uhuru are not nigerians. It was written by Michael Rose. The chorus of this version goes:
Guess who's coming to dinner, Natty Dreadlock
.
The song was covered by Dr Alban in 1997. He featured Grammy Award winner Michael Rose, who is a former member of Black Uhuru and who wrote the original song. This song was not as big a hit as Hello Africa or It's My Life, but I think it's probably Dr Alban's best song. The chorus of this version goes:
Guess who's coming to dinner, Carolina.
Dr Alban ft Michael Rose - Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (Carolina) (1997).
