talktimi: Ok i nominate oga eng Musiwa since Naptu & Okija are not interested

berem: Lol! Even Rochas wore a school uniform too! The picture is on a billboard right at the junction leading to Concorde Hotels.Sadly, I don't have the picture.

Waiting for Fashola to wear a school uniform too.

write2obi: he called for the match venue to be changed, was it changed ??No. why are you ranting? We are not saying Keshi should not protect his team and country, but racially abusing him was wrong. Sometime ago when ManUnited came to Nigeria for a pre-season friendly and claimed their players got Virus in Nigeria, NFA angrily rebuffed the claim, but they never told asked them to go back to their country

naptu2: Keshi made two errors in that interview.


1) Saintfiet had applied for the post of technical director at the NFF (which would have made him Keshi's boss) and there were also rumours that he would take over Keshi's job. The Eagles' performance at the Nations Cup put an end to that.

Then Saintfiet said that Calabar's not safe and Keshi felt that it was an insult that someone who was prepared to work here, suddenly feels that Calabar is not safe. However, there's a difference between

"How can he say that Calabar is not safe when he was prepared to work here"

And

"If he feels that Africa is not safe, then he should go back to his country"

And

“I think the coach of Malawi is crazy. If he wants to talk to FIFA, he should go back to Belgium. He is not an African person, he is a white dude, he should go back to Belgium."

The first statement is forgivable, but the other two are patently WRONG.

2) Coaches usually teach their players that they should not respond to provocation, whether real or imagined, because it could cost them (red card, etc). Just focus on your job. How can Keshi teach the players that they should not respond to provocation, when he is doing the same thing? A simple "I would rather focus on my team and our preparations" would have sufficed. It's the NFF's job to respond to the complaint, while Keshi's job is to prepare the players and pick the team. His response was unprofessional and I hope he learns from it.

naptu2: The Dantata/Dangote family have always been involved in charity work. However these deeds often go unnoticed, because of the family's principles of maintaining privacy and lack of flamboyance.

Al-Hassan Dantata was passionate about education. He backed the establishment of a western style school in the Dala area for hausa (I.e non-fulani) traders' children in the 1930s and established the Dantata english and arabic school in 1944.

Mariya Dangote (Aliko Dangote's mother) donated a hospital, which she built at Rijiya Lemu, to the Kano State Government in 2003.

Aliko Dangote has made the following charitable contributions:

2.5 billion naira to the national fund for flood victims in 2012. 430 million naira to Kogi flood victims. 100 million naira to Sokoto flood victims. $2 million to Pakistan's flood victims. 120 million naira to fight famine in Niger. 600 million naira to women empowerment and free school feeding schemes in Kano State. 500 student capacity hall at Kano State University. 10 million naira annual scholarship for Benue students. $2 million to African Young Leaders fellowship in conjunction with the Forum For Young Global Leaders. $1 million towards education and women empowerment in Tanzania. 1 billion naira to states suffering from the Boko Haram insurgency. And many more

He established the Dangote Foundation which is the philanthropic arm of the dangote Group where yearly he spends millions for worthy causes such as contributions to educational and healthcare institutions, sinking of boreholes and giving of scholarships.

The Dangote Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have jointly pledged to donate huge sums of money towards the eradication of polio in Kano State.

He also established the Dangote Academy.

ogugua88: What can you say? "I'm sorry for lying Ogugua", since apologizing is now trending.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]Dear Nairalanders,


After much thought and counsel from those closest to me off Nairaland, I want to give a heartfelt apology to all of those whom I have hurt or effected. Not because I'm weak, nor for favour from anyone or because I want any one to feel better, but because my actions were grossly misunderstood. I don't need any "sensitivity training" to use my common sense. I was placed in a leadership-like position and I have been doing my best but somethings, even the best is not enough. I hurt a lot of feelings few days ago and as a fellow ordinary member of nairaland, such was wrong of me. I am truly sorry.

One day, I'll drop the "moderator" title. I don't want present actions of mine to hamper my future relationship with you all when I decide to do so. . . My goal has never been to do anything detrimental to this amazing forum. If anything, some of my actions these past few days have done the opposite because some disgruntled members capitalized on that gap and tried to ruin the hard work of seun osewa by inviting hackers to nairaland. It was really shameful to see comments from Nairalanders I thought should have known better. In the end, sexkillz would have taken the blame. From my moderating of four sections to creating what is arguably the biggest biannual event on the forum, I have always put Nairaland first, to the extent that some think I have no life off here. Although some of my comments have been brash, I would hate to think that words are capable of eradicating the time and hard effort I have given you all for well over a year.

I will do my best to act cordially and professionally amongst fellow members. It is also my wish that such will be reciprocated. This does not for a microscopical second mean that I am letting trolls, spammers, tribalist and people who constitute themselves a nuisance on nairaland off the hook. . .

I hope everything returns to normal after this. . . Cheers and have a nice time celebrating Nigeria at 53.

Mikael a.k.a sexkillz.

okpara ugo: Seriously, Nigerians are not creative people. I observe a lot of businessmen. Once they have made some money, their investments dont exceed HOTELS and FUELLING STATIONS.
