Who knows the name of this juju song. It's an old song, but I no longer remember its name. I only remember this riff.

Please click on this link to download a voicenote of me playing the riff on my keyboard (Nairaland's file upload feature is not working).

February 2015. Bash Ali and his crew went to the Nigerian Export-Import Bank (NEXIM), claimed that President Jonathan had ordered them to release funds for the fight and demanded that the funds should be given to him

The special assistant to the MD wanted to talk to him, but he said that he would only talk to the MD. The bank eventually called the police and the police arrested him for constituting a nuisance. He was charged to court and remanded in Kuje Prison.

He has always deliberately created these scenes.

Seun this thread should be on the front page, you need to put a stop to your mods misinforming the people on the front page.

Bash Ali was beaten by security agencies under gej and buhari's government (really sad) but your mods put a thread that said otherwise on the front page. Correct the wrong

In fact, the problem actually started when Obasanjo was president.

Obasanjo had agreed to back his title fight. Then Bash Ali fought a warm up fight in Lagos. He was beaten black and blue by an unknown boxer. That's why Obasanjo pulled out. He didn't want to sponsor a suicide attempt.

Bash Ali has been harrassing government officials since then. He wants to force them to sponsor the fight.

This is the third or fourth time that he has been involved in altercations with government officials.

In fact, he got fed up of Nigerian officials and went to Libya to get Muammar Ghaddafi to sponsor his title fight. He was trapped in Libya when the uprising began and he had to be rescued by the Federal Government.

Marotzke:
Walk gently, carry a big stick.
Theodore Roosevelt.

IamaNigerianGuy:
Do you have any citation for this?
I am aware of Roosevelt's like for this proverb, but is it Nigerian?

Speak softly and carry a big stick.

I came across this proverb for the first time in the Britannica Encyclopedia in 1985. It was said to be a West African proverb that Theodore Roosevelt loved.

Then in 1989 or 1990, I read an article (I think it was in the Readers Digest, I'm not sure) that traced the origin of the proverb to an ethnic group in Nigeria. I can't remember the ethnic group at the moment.

I later read a similar article in a Nigerian newspaper in the early 1990s in which it was described as a Nigerian proverb.

hucienda:
"Speak gently and carry a big stick ..."

Nigerian proverb that was President Roosevelt's favourite proverb.

TRUMP'S FAVOURITE PROVERB IS FROM NIGERIA - BBC

Welcoming the Irish prime minister to the White House President Donald Trump quoted one of his favourite proverbs:

"Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue. But never forget to remember those who have stuck by you."

Many Irish people have pointed out that this is not an Irish proverb, and have suggested they are the words of a Nigerian Albashir Adam Alhassan.

I suspect that it's primarily designed for heads of state, especially middle-eastern heads of states.

The idea for the G Wagen (forerunner of the G Class) was originally given to Mercedes Benz in the 1970s by the Shah of Iran (who owned a lot of shares in Daimler Benz). Lots of heads of states bought them at the time (Shagari's government bought lots of Mercedes Benz/Puch G Wagen and the G Wagen became the presidential review car c1981).

Nigerian presidential review vehicle. President Shagari replaced the old Land Rover review vehicles with Mercedes Benz G Wagens.

Heads of state use landaus so that they can stand in the vehicle and wave to the crowd on the street. The most famous Mercedes Benz landaulet is the Mercedes Benz 600 State Landaulet (W100), especially the Pullman version. King Hassan of Morocco had one. One was specially made to convey Queen Elizabeth when she visited Germany in 1966.

The Maybach nameplate indicates that the vehicle is an ultra luxury limousine (Pullman) version.

I am impressed by her dad, God bless him for not spending public funds on his daughter.

Don't you remember him? He was one of the journalists/activists that battled Babangida and Abacha in the 1990s. He was jailed repeatedly and his magazine was banned, his office was occupied by soldiers and copies of the magazine were seized from newspaper vendors.

He and my friend's brother worked at Chief Abiola's Concord Newspaper. They wrote an article in which they criticised Babangida. Babangida shut down the newspaper. Chief Abiola went to State House to apologise to Babangida. Then he asked Ojudu, my friend's brother and the editor to write an apology to Babangida. They all refused and resigned from the newspaper instead.

Stop Sleeping In Public, PDP Chairman Mu'azu Scolds SGF Pius Anyim

teemanbastos:
Guests and leaders of the Peoples
Democratic Party were stunned on
Thursday when the new National
Chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu
Mu'azu, specifically urged the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Sen. Pius Anyim,
to learn not to sleep during public
events.


Mu'azu was speaking when leaders
of the party from Ebonyi State visited
him and the leadership of the party
to pay homage and wish him well
following his election. The group was led by the governor,
Martin Elechi, who spoke on behalf of
the delegation from his state, which
included Anyim, Minister of
Health Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, and
some other political office holders from the state.

But while Mu'azu was replying, he
looked over at Anyim, who had
already dozed off, and immediately
confronted the burly SGF. "Mr. Anyim, I hope you have not
started doing what you like doing
best,” Mu'azu said, making the
motions of a dozing person.

The laughter that followed from the
audience woke up the sleeping SGF. It was gathered that even as Senator Anyim often fell asleep on the floor of
the House, an action that made the
late Chuba Okadigbo, at that time the
Senate President, to scold him on one
occasion. Witnesses recall that the scolding
followed an instance when Anyim,
suddenly woke up from his usual
sleep and without knowing the topic
being discussed, shouted that he
wanted to make contribution.

An angry Okadigbo then asked
Anyim whether he knew what was
being discussed, to which Anyim just
smiled, provoking general laughter
among the Senators.
