[size=14pt]President Jonathan visits Super Eagles training in Addis Ababa.[/size]

By Phillip Eta on October 12, 2013

President Goodluck Jonathan today paid a visit to the players and officials of the Super Eagles, as they trained in preparation for Sunday’s 2014 World Cup play-off match against Ethiopia.

Jonathan, who was on his way from the Extraordinary Summit of the Heads of Government of the African Union, shook hands with the squad and coaches and delivered a pep talk before leaving.

“Surely you will make it; the spirit is there. I wish you success. It is a determining match. Definitely we have been going to the World Cup, but this year we are not just going to the world cup, we will make an impact. The world will begin to know that we have arrived as a nation. We give you all the encouragement required. Thank you for what you are doing for us,” the President said.


Aminu Maigari, the President of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF), thanked Jonathan for taking out time to encourage the team.

“I assure you that we will be able to deliver and we will deliver. We will do our best. We have a good team. Goodluck Jonathan is the only President who haa created time amidst his tight schedule to be with the Super Eagles twice. This is the biggest motivation and we will make you proud. We will be in Brazil,” he said.

President Jonathan has visited the camp of the Super Eagles in Ethiopia to boost their morale ahead their game with the Antelopes tomorrow.

Cajetan speaks: Do you have any issue with that statement?

Cajetan speaks: The truth is that an average hausa man prefer a rented house to building or buying a house in another man's land..

[size=14pt]Elephants take revenge on village after herd member is struck by train[/size]

The Sideshow - Friday, August 9, 2013

It’s said that elephants never forget. Apparently it's especially true when a herd suffers a loss.

Last week near the village of Matari in eastern India, a train struck and killed an elephant — an accident that is unfortunately commonplace in that region.

The response by the herd is more surprising.

About 15 elephants appear to be mourning the loss of one of their own and have returned to the site of the incident, the Times of India said. The elephants have refused to move the last several days, causing train disruptions.

The elephants also appear to be grieving in a more destructive way: They've damaged surrounding houses and even demolished part of a schoolhouse.

Efforts to disperse the elephants using firecrackers have been unsuccessful. The elephants have persisted in their vigil.

"Elephants often try to return to the site of such accidents as they believe that their mate has only been injured and could be rescued by them,” wildlife activist D S Srivastava told the Times of India. “Even when an elephant dies a natural death, their friends cover the body with bushes and small tree branches."

According to Srivastava, the herd’s bond means the elephants will continue to try to return to place where their fellow herd member died, again and again.

Tolexander: Obe de


these people very value their elephants o.
If na for here, we will increase the speed to kill more elephants!

proevan: Thought I saw closed on this thread, was already contemplating the first e-demonstration on Nairaland.

gbanikiti: Yes I remember that o! The brain was always glowing with light right? And it was kept in a glass. Oh dear! Naptu2 I stand to be corrected though.

gbanikiti: Naptu2,I can't watch these videos through you tube on my phone. It says something like link address not available. Any other link?

deols: and you were acting sweet sixteen on a thread not long ago. Even your signature sef is sweet 12.

#justsaying

It is ok to be young at heart

btw @topic, was there really a doctor in the series or what really is it about?

stillwater: Late 90's? Why do I feel I watched it in the 80's or early 90's?
The tapes that were found weren't even the Tom Baker's which ran from 74 - 81, but tapes of the 60's of a different doctor.
I'm sure most of us watched the Tom BaKer episodes.

gbanikiti: Gone are the good old days! I love the cold room section. Can't remember what it was called. Who were those who were kept in the cold chambers?

stillwater: Probably NTA. because they were the only tv stations that were in existence then and aired the program.

deols: The TV station has no name?

Never heard of the show sef.

Old time thing.
