Culture › Re: The Strange Custom Of Celebrating "Traditional" Marriages Abroad by naptu2: 8:40pm On Oct 20, 2013
This is one massive problem that colonialism has caused.

Culture is dynamic. It is not static. It changes as new knowledge is gained, new situations emerge, etc.

Some people believe that our culture should be stuck at the point that the colonialists met it and that it should not change and adapt. This is not a realistic expectation.

In pre-colonial times our cultures changed as we adapted to changing circumstances. The colonialists interrupted this natural progression/evolution. Some people now believe that any attempt to change and adapt culture is basically an attempt to adopt "foreign cultures". This is not true. Any culture that does not adapt to changing circumstances will be swallowed by more dynamic cultures.

I kind of miss Ribadu. He led a similar investigation into the activities of the NPA. Obasanjo refused to act on the report of the investigation. The findings from that report were used to convict Olabode George when Obasanjo left office.

Afam4eva: There are counter opinions, that's why i said it should be investigated thoroughly. You can't just come out and say she's innocent or guilty. You can't just take the words of the accused as gospel. Imagine a boy being charged with murder and his mother says he's innocent and we're just meant to believe his mother. Duh, it's his mother.
Exactly!

Afam4eva: Whether she's being witch-hunted by anyone shouldn't suffice. We should judge this case based on it's merits or demerits. Let her be given a fair hearing and if it's found that she's guilty then she has to pay for it. Though i'm hoping she comes out innocent.

berem: was it Buhari and Tinubu that told her to buy exotic bullet proof cars at inflated price? I don't know why you are blaming this on APC. Yes,she deserves to be giving a fair hearing. If she's found guilty,she she and her accomplices should be sacked! Don't try to support corruption because she is your sister. angry

Prof Corruption: Your comment is political correctness per excellence. I laughed really hard.

That the price is inflated is not even in question. And you know this.
That no competitive bidding was done is not contestable. And you this too.
That it was wrong for NCAA, an independent regulatory framework, to have procured this car for Stella Oduah is not arguable. And you know this!!!

How can she be entitled to this car when monetisation policy is running?

Can she, as a minister of federal republic of Nigeria, authorize expenditure to the tune of N255 million without approval by the Federal Executive Council?

Have you not noticed how the narrative of her defence has been changing? First, Joel Obi, her personal assistant, said it was needed for her security becuase of imaginary threats to her life. Then it was meant to be a pool car for foreign dignitaries. and blah blah blah!!!!!

Guy, call for the immediate sack and prosecution of this thief. There is nothing to investigate. The pieces of evidence needed are already in public domain.
Everything you've said are issues that are in contention. Some on this thread have provided evidence that the cost was inflated, while some have provided evidence to the contrary ( you may choose to support one side or the other). The Yar'Adua administration abolished the monetisation policy for ministers (see Kingibe's statement). Everything is being contested.

That's why, in accordance with administrative law, what's required is an open and independent investigation (I do support the call that she should be suspended in the meantime).

I'm sure the members of Alu Community were sure that they had all the facts when they carried out their actions.

I don't believe that she should be summarily dismissed, rather I think that there should be an open investigation. Remember that she is presumed innocent until proven guilty and her right to fair hearing must be respected.

Therefore, I believe that her fate should depend on the result of an independent, fair and open investigation that should answer the following questions:

1) Was she entitled to the cars?

2) Was it right for the NCAA to procure the cars for her?

3) Was the procurement done according to procurement regulations (competitive bidding, etc)?

4) Was the price of the cars inflated?

[size=14pt]Ethiopia deny attack on Nigeria team bus[/size]

By Betemariam Hailu, BBC Sport, Addis Ababa
19 October 2013


The Ethiopian Football Federation (EFF) has denied that there was an attack on the Nigerian team in Addis Ababa after their World Cup play-off first-leg tie.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) said the team bus was attacked by Ethiopian fans and that midfielder Nosa Igiebor was injured.

The Super Eagles, who won the match 2-1, have reported the incident to Fifa.

We've got nothing that shows that a player or any other individual was injured by fans

But the Ethiopian FA says an investigation led to no proof of the incident taking place.

"There was no attack," EFF president Juinedin Basha told BBC Sport.

"There was no one injured - either players or individuals from the Nigerian team on Sunday. This is what we found out from our investigation.

"We have checked everything. We've got nothing that shows that a player or any other individual was injured by fans.”

"The Ethiopian people are known to be respectful to any African from every corner. This is our culture, this is our history and the Nigerians are our African brothers," he said.

Basha, however, acknowledged that there were some angry fans, following a late penalty, which was converted by Nigeria's Emmanuel Emenike.

"Of course the stadium was full of angry fans, who were disappointed by the referee's decision, especially after he ruled out the first goal."

The Walya Antelopes thought they had opened the scoring after 24 minutes through Saladin Said, only for Godfrey Oboabona to clear off the line.

The NFF said in a press statement that fans attacked the team bus with stones after the match, and that the rear window of the bus was shattered.

"Igiebor was the unlucky one as the stone slashed his right palm leading to profuse bleeding that was immediately attended to by team doctor, Ibrahim Gyaran," Ben Alaiya, the Super Eagles press officer, said.

The Ethiopian FA was fined last January after travelling Ethiopian fans at the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa threw bottles at Zambian players.

The East Africans travel to Calabar on 16 November for the return leg of the play-off, with the winners progressing to the World Cup finals in Brazil.

This reminds me of the first game of Japan 93.

Nigeria 8-0 Canada.

The Ghanaian commentator couldn't believe that the supporters club were singing "All we are saying, we want more goals", while Nigeria was leading 7-0.

A person should be commended when he/she does well and condemned when he/she does badly.

Who got the credit when the airports were renovated? That same person should share in the condemnation when things go wrong.

Who awarded the contract for the renovation of the airport? That person is also responsible for ensuring that the money is well spent.

Islam › Re: Do Muslims from Northern Nigeria have native names? by naptu2: 9:25am On Oct 17, 2013
smsk: Dangote and Dantata, are not just hausa names, the names are only used by that famous family from Kano. The name Dangote was initially the nick name of the father of the famous business tycoon Aliko Muhammad, aka Aliko Gote. Also the two families are related, Aliko Gotes's mother is from the Dantata family.
The word 'DAN' is used by a hausa man to associate one thing to another be it a person, place, activity, trade etc. e.g Dan kano, which means some body from Kano state, Dan Kasuwa means a business person, Dan Boko which means a student . etc
[quote author=obo_man]so u saying Dan is to Hausa as Omo is to Yoruba?[/quote]Dantata = son of Tata.

Tata was the name of Alhassan Dantata's nanny.
