pharmow: i took my time to read thru the entire thread there wasn't anyone that mentioned Fela songs except someone that mentioned Water no get enemy. Nigerians are really myopic and unappreciative.................

For me All fela songs are evergreen
The highlife and funky musics of 70s
The meaningful Apalas, the Jujus and fujis of 70s and 80s

The songs of those era make U see down and reason...................An Oyinbo friend of mine in Canada Just told me about a funky Nigeria song by William Onyeabor while we were talking about Fela. Never heard of this song but the song is really funky and meaningful

naptu2: Every single track by Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

His songs were the soundtrack to coups, riots, teargas, presidential broadcasts, uncertainty, excitement, etc. I get goose bumps whenever I hear them.

Ishilove: Hello shidren of The Most High God, goodmorning!! Hope your night was fine. Mine was very splendid and I am in a good mood today!!

I sight a nairaland user here. The nlander has abandoned a certain veeeeeery DRY thread to come and catch fun here. When I was there the user made a lot of ruckus that I was derailing the thread with romance. However, now that same user refuses to go back to the same thread because no one ever goes there. The place is a desert. Heck, even the thread opened by a certain popular satanic fellow is faring better than the thread that I have dubbed 'The Desert'

I didn't mention names o but if the glove fits, wear it!!!

Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!

awodman: Chief Willie Obiano, APGA candidate for the November 16,2013 gubernatorial election in Anambra State proved
cynics wrong Friday when he put up a sterling performance that the audience unanimously agreed eclipsed the performance of a far more experienced Senator Chris Ngige of the APC in a debate organised by Silverbird Television ƒσя the candidates in Awka.

The APGA candidate who was widely reported to have been recently beaten in a “debate” in the US by the Labour Party candidate, Ifeanyi Ubah, shrugged off his underdog status to outshine his rivals in a debate where Ubah, the debate wonder kid, was strangely absent.

The debate which was expected to begin at 4pm was
seriously delayed as only Obiano arrived the venue 15
minutes to kick-off time while the APC candidate arrived 45 minutes later when the debate had far progressed beyond the introductory stage to the question and answer session.

The APC candidate's arrival was pointedly noisy as the
chants of his entourage disrupted the debate and drew
snide remarks and mild protests from the audience who
felt that a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria owed
the members of his constituency a more decorous conduct
.
The conduct of the Labour Party candidate was even worse as Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah who is widely rumoured to have gone broke before the Polling Day with a heavy debt burden and constant harassment by the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON), deliberately shied away from the debate.

Obiano's high performance came from his brilliant
demonstration of a deep understanding of the current
revenue position of the state and his idea of what to do to
move the state forward. Reeling out cold facts and
statistics, the retired banker held the audience spellbound with his profound understanding of what the state currently generates in internal revenue, how much trickles in from the federal government in monthly revenue and how these monies are distributed to solve the state's development problems.

“I have years of experience in banking. I understand
international finance. My running mate, Dr. Nkem Okonkwo has a PhD in monetary economist. When we take a trip to the United Nations and the donor agencies, we know what to say to make them support development efforts in Anambra State. But this is not the same with my good friend, Chris Ngige. If he arrives the UN with his crowd singing his praises as usual, they will chase them out of the hall,” Obiano argued to a thunderous applause.

Chief Obiano's comment was in response to Senator
Ngige's untidy claims on the state of revenue generation in Anambra State. Obiano had promptly dismissed Ngige's claims as far from the truth, reminding the audience that they could actually carry out a quick google search on the subject matter right from their seats. The audience saw in Obiano's response the readiness of 21st Century leader who knew that the electorate can no longer be lied to in the manner of the politicians of old.

The APGA candidate also drew a loud ovation with the way he handled the question of his widely reported secret
agreement with the National Chairman of APGA to hand the treasury of Anambra State over to him in exchange for electoral victory. Dismissing the document as an effort by his rivals who had been hard-pressed to find a chink in his armour, Obiano argued that after spending 30 years in the Nigerian private sector his signature could be verified in so many public documents and that the signature on the purported agreement had no resemblance with his real signature.

Although Senator Ngige made comical attempts to explain his lateness to the event by blaming it on the bad
condition of roads in the state, his performance failed to
elicit the applause he had hoped for because people felt
offended by his lateness which could not be placed on the poor state of roads in the state.

The APC candidate also drew derisive laughter and chants
of “Lie! Lie!” from the audience when in a response to the
question of his largely poor performance in the Senate, he
announced that he tabled 10 Bills before the upper
legislative house.

The debate which was moderated by Uzonna Ononye who hosts Politicalscope on Silverbird television attracted only 4 out of the 6 candidates originally invited to take part with Ifeanyi Ubah as the most prominent absentee.

Other candidates that took part in the debate are Professor Ben Akanegbu of UPP and Godson Okoye United
Democratic Party

sagombugo: Can anyone shed more light as to what might have happened today concerning the Anambra Guber Debates? It seems the debate held but STV could not televise it live cos of technical hitches. The post and picture on Ngige's facebook fans wall lend credence to my guess! So did the debate go on or not

Boy Obiano standing behind me and listening to the words of the masters at the gubernatorial debate held at Emmaus House Awka, this evening. Anambra governorship is not for boys.

Kindly tune in to Silverbird television now to watch Willie Obiano debate with other candidates for the November 16 governorship election.

Willie is in the studio of Silverbird TV. He got there quite early. It isn't clear why the STV debate isn't on yet. Please still stay tuned.

We are sincerely sorry for this delay. We still await Silverbird TV to tell us what's been happening in the studio.

If you did tune in earlier, you may have seen notice on the debate on the screen. It was advertised immediately after their 4p.m news.

We announced it to you because that was the agreement with STV. We shall be updating you on whatever the reason(s) for this delay.

Ladies and gentlemen, Willie Obiano just left the STV studio. The debate is over. Apparently, the TV station ran into technical hitches.

We expect STV to talk to viewers about that technical hitch and when next to air the debate.

funshint: I really had a big doubt when I heard it was STV that was broadcasting it and not AIT. AIT did a wonderful job during the Edo and Ondo state election. STV has a big comma!

deols: I understand you. But nothing in my post says the woman is right. I think he had enough time through planning, catching them and then posting. He was not even alone with them.

He thought it through jare..he wanted to bring her to shame but he can only know the beginning of this. He cannot be sure of the consequences, even on himself.

deols: seriously??

what part of being good is releasing people's pictures in their worst moments. Are you saying you don't have flaws that you'd want kept a secret? would you like that someone exposes your family or anything you hold dear because you did something stupid or wrong or hurtful?

Are you a saint who can do no wrong?

boron10: You forgot to add Haruna Lukmon and Ogenyi Onazi.

aimuafigo: Wow! I never knew Mikel played at the U-17 level for Nigeria. He even scored one of the goals during the group stage at the Finland 2003 edition of the tournament.

naptu2: Some former members of the Golden Eaglets.

Nwankwo Kanu (1993), Celestine Babayaro (1993), Nduka Ugbade (1985), Jonathan Akpoborie (1985), James Obiorah (1995), Wilson Oruma (1993), John Mikel Obi (2003)
