That's a rather strange question coming from a female. Why do you ask?

anonimi:
Were Fulanis masters of the Igbos when Azikiwe entered alliance with them in the 1st Republic to be a figurehead president instead of working with Awolowo, his fellow southerner?
Are Igbos slaves to Fulanis for having properties and businesses in Abuja and other northern cities?

Well, I remember vividly that when my late uncle Amb Segun Olusola turned 70, his son Jimi Olusola and I visited NTA HQ to see if we can get some of the Original series episodes that are still in good condition. What they were able to get were spoilt tapes of the New Village Headmaster. Thank God for Jimmy Atte who was able to locate a copy in his archives.

It’s not about quoting people and writing in caps lock! Who even thought you how to make sentences? Putting them in red when you actually not making any point!


Point is, don’t use patrol car for a purpose other than what it was intended.. get vans or trucks for feeds or sub contract it!

Also learn to think before you talk.

Right, a memory before I go.


I remember the advice that Old Girl gave to someone that was planning a major event in the early 1980s (this must have been around 1982 or '83). She told him to get mounted policemen to police the event. She said that policemen on foot were completely useless at that type of event because thugs would simply "collect their guns from them".


This reminds me of Lagos '89.

Lagos State hosted the National Sports Festival in 1989 and the female football event was held at a field that was very close to where I lived. I went to watch the games every evening at 4pm.

Female football was still very new, so I guess that the organisers thought that there would not be many spectators. There were only a few unarmed policemen at the venue.

However, Lagos, Bendel and Rivers State teams were exceptional. They showed that women could play good football and their matches attracted huge crowds. The police could not cope with the crowd. Fights broke out. I saw a guy that I knew slap another guy and that guy collapsed to the floor. I never knew that you could knock someone out by slapping him. That was the first time that I ever saw anything like that. I saw it again a few days later because a policeman knocked someone out by slapping him.

The organisers soon realised that those unarmed policemen on foot were inadequate to police the games and mounted policemen were invited to police the later stages of the competition. Order was restored.

Anytime anyone got carried away and got too close to the field, one mounted policeman would charge down the touchline and the crowd would move back. People were terrified of the horses.


I saw lots and lots of events at the venue in the 1980s. I believe that it took a minimum of 12 policemen on foot to effectively police that place when there was an event, but only 4 mounted policemen could do the job effectively.

Barça Women 9–1 CD Tacón: Unforgettable opener

Barça Women emphatically won their first ever encounter at their new home, the Johan Cruyff Stadium. The Blaugrana started the competition with an excellent win against CD Tacón (9-1). Alexia opened the scoring in a match where everything went right, and Jenni Hermoso was able to complete an opening day hat-trick.

Barça dominion from the start

Lluis Cortés's team took the game to their opponents from the first whistle. Alexia made history by opening the scoring, thanks to Mariona's assist (1-0, min 8 ). Barça continued to press and create chances until, via a play through the middle, Aitana made it 2-0 (min 28).

Visiting keeper, Yohana Gómez, managed to repel a number of blaugrana attacks before Lucía Suárez added a third (3-0, min 36) and, later, assisted Mariona (4-0, min 40). Jessica Martínez managed to pull one back for the visitors after the break (4-1, min 54), but the hosts followed their plan perfectly. Aitana (5-1, min 60) and Graham (6-1, min 70) extended the lead before Jenni Hermoso hit an 18 minute hat-trick to finish a dream start.
