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.[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. |

tuyota: Please don't forget to add number 4 - The Chief Medical Director (CMD) may have pocketed the allocation for hospital maintenance even if it is meagre. A few good men who try to utilise the allocation to run the hospital judiciously are hounded with threats for "trying to block others from chopping the money".That's already covered by number 3 Oga has stolen the money. |

This was one of the problems that bedevilled the Oputa Panel. President Obasanjo used executive powers to set up the panel, with the hope that its recommendations would be sent to the National Assembly and the security services for action. The panel was bogged down with lawsuits because it was not backed by law. The proper procedure is to get the National Assembly to pass a law authorising the convocation of a National Conference and for a referendum to be held on the recommendations that emanate from the conference. The President had promised that there won't be any "no go areas" and that all topics will be up for discussion at the conference, but this has been diluted by the fact that the recommendations that emanate from the conference will be subject to ratification by the National Assembly. 2 Likes |

It is traditionally given to the leader of a tribe, or a person considered a wise man. Muslims use the word to refer to a man over the age of 50. All of this would suggest that it is rarely used as a first name.http://www.babynames.co.uk/meaning_origin_name_Sheikh.htm Lots of people named Sheikh https://www.linkedin.com/pub/dir/?first=abdul&last=sheikh&search=Search |

1) No diesel/petrol (Nupeng/Pengasson has gone on strike again. Tanker drivers have gone on strike. Price of petrol/diesel has suddenly been increased and petrol stations are hoarding the product). 2) Generator has packed up from overuse (no public power supply, or very little for 3 weeks/1 month. The standby/back up generator is no longer standby/back up, but the main source of power and has developed a fault). 3) No money (Government has not released money to fix the generator. Executive and legislature cannot agree on the budget. Oga has stolen the money. There are "higher priorities" ). These are things that I've heard since the mid-1990s. 1 Like |

I've been wondering whether this conference will be different from the 2005 Political Reform Conference (and the Oputa Panel before it) and I think I've just gotten an answer. What's the point in spending money to hold a national conference if the outcome will be sent to the National Assembly? Why not just hold the "conference" within the National Assembly? Isn't it a duplication of functions? Isn't it just an addition of another layer of bureaucracy and "public officers"? 2 Likes |

50calibre: So despite being retired, Hilary Clinton still travels in a 5 vehicle motorcade, & walks around with 10 SS agents? Wow!! America really has enemies.Former US presidents and first ladies are guarded by the Secret Service for the rest of their lives. Children of former presidents are guarded by the Secret Service until they turn 16. Congress passed a law in 1994 that limited the length of time that a former president would be guarded by the Secret Service to 10 years beginning from the day they leave office. The law did not apply to President Clinton. However, President Obama signed a new law that restored lifetime Secret Service protection to former presidents and their spouses. |

I remember when Bode George's car was impounded by Lastma in the early or mid 2000s (his driver was driving against the flow of traffic). He held a press conference in which he claimed that it was the result of a plot against him by AD and the Lagos State Government. |

I have often been annoyed at the way foreign security agents (especially US and Libyan agents) take over our airports anytime certain dignitaries visit Nigeria. Then, something happened in 2006. There was a summit of African and South American leaders in Abuja in 2006. Muammar Ghaddafi arrived with over 200 bodyguards (including the famous "amazons" ). Femi Fani-Kayode, who was minister of aviation at the time, was at the airport. He ordered that airport security officials should not allow the Libyan security guards into the airport terminal with their weapons. A stand off ensued. Luckily, President Obasanjo arrived the airport to receive another dignitary. He tried to mediate. He suggested that the Libyan guards should be allowed in if they registered their weapons. Fani-Kayode and the Nigerian security guards didn't like the idea and wanted to allow only 6 armed Libyan guards into Nigeria (they claimed that it was the usual convention to allow only 6 armed foreign guards). The Libyans threatened to return home. The Nigerian guards said that the libyans could return home if they wanted. Colonel Ghaddafi got angry and started walking towards Abuja on foot (without any guards). Then Obasanjo struck a compromise. 8 armed Libyan guards would be allowed into Nigeria. 1 Like |

That reminds me of the crazy standoff between Muammar Ghaddafi and Femi Fani Kayde at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport (Ghaddafi actually left his delegation behind in protest and started walking towards the city on foot and without any guards). |

1) This same report is on the BBC and other media sites. The NFF have also reported the incident to FIFA. 2) It does not make any sense to "retaliate" against the Ethiopian players and fans. (A) You could become a victim of "accidental discharge" (B) We would get sanctioned by FIFA (C) We would be justifying Tom Saintfient's statement that Calabar is not safe. It's better to leave it to the authorities to handle the situation. Besides, we are close to getting the ticket to Brazil. That's what we should concentrate on. 3) The fact that some Ethiopians reacted badly to their loss, does not mean that all Ethiopians are uncivilised. |

deols: When Dr.s ask for these things, the public even ridicule them forgetting that the people who suffer the repercussion are the masses.This has been the reality for a long time, but it's gradually changing. The General Hospital Marina Lagos and the Island Maternity are now hooked to an Independent Power Plant and are no more on the national grid. There are now inverters that act as back up when public power fails. I lost a friend to a similar circumstance in the early 2000s 1 Like |
