Happy people .

Why won't you be all smiles when the head of your home is the Vice President of the largest black nation in the world.

How can our educational system grow when our polithiefcians always send their children to school abroad?

I pray this smile last forever

deeplow:
Lol. Plenty seek people dey this nairaland.

... and why seek the sick people?

Stay off 'igbo'.

shamecurls:
I just pray Nigeria should win this tournament. Keshi and Amodu willl have a reason to smile in there graves

The General wasn't greedy about power. Did what he needed to do and left quietly. Even if he'd looted, successive government have continued to look the other way as compensation for returning Nigeria to democracy.

Happy birthday General!!!

I think what they were looking at, to my left their own right must be interesting. Only Kanu and William Gallas actually looked at the camera.

Sol Campbell's face though!!!

Well said.

Disunity is a symptom. We just live in a denial here and keep massaging the truth. The solution to all these agitations lies in ending this feeding bottle structure that we practice which encourages neocolonialism, the amalgamation of North and South is a big fraud. There is so much injustice, inequity, subjugation, winner-takes-it-all. There can't be peace under this structure, and if there is no peace there can't be unity or progress. Everyone must be made to feel involved, protected and represented for there to be first, a sense of patriotism, then unity. In this present structure where you have too strong center, one people use the instrument of the state to oppress and marginalize others. And we are talking about peace and unity. Let's be sincere, where in the world would security operatives open fire on unarmed civilian doing peaceful protest? Let's stop massaging the truthThis feeding bottle system of government we are running in this nation is the cause of all these problems. We need to end this structure. I am in total support of true fiscal federalism where every zones contribute a token to the centre and take their future and pace of growth in their own hands, and express their cultures and religion freely, and practice their vocations unhindered. I strongly believed that this is the only way to end this injustice.
So, I want to urge all Nairalanders and well meaning Nigerians to support the proposed fiscal federalism as recommended in 2014 National Conference. Let's stop this tribal statements and insult because, it will only cause hatred and more agitation for self determination.
Everyone must be made to feel involved, protected and represented for there to be first, a sense of patriotism, then unity.

Knockout!

Haba is that why u are pouring spit on your body?? correct a fool he will get violent....correct a wise man he will say thank you...

Vincent Enyeama knows the true definition of family. After all, it's the family that matters.

When you are alive and well, it's a rare privilege.

Happy for the gift of life, e no easy to sleep and wake up.

While Henriette Kosoko, Muhammad Ali, Stephen Keshi and many more are gone, Prof Ben has every reason to celebrate.

Treasure every second you spend living, it might be the last. Best wishes to the Prof.

Honoured before and after death, not many have this privilege. Muhammad Ali was the real definition of greatness and a champion.

Rest well one of the world's greatest.

'I done wrestled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale, handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail; only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick. I'm so mean I make medicine sick.' - Ali said this before the historic Rumble in the Jungle match that took place in 1974 in Zaire against George Foreman.

So boastful and result oriented. In the end, that's all that matters

'I am so fast that last night I turned off the light switch and was in bed before the room was dark.'

Late Okwaraji, Wilfred Agbonivare, Thompson Oliha, Rashidi Yekini all died and were never given the desired recognition. They brought smiles to faces of soccer lovers in Nigeria and we failed to immortalize them.

Keshi just died now, are we going to allow his memories fade away like others? Our fallen heroes in whatever capacity deserves more.

If a stadium could be named after Samson Siasia while still alive, we should also respect the dead too. I suggest National Stadium Abuja be named after him. Rest well Keshi!!!

The coup failed but Ifeajuna escaped to safety in Ghana, dressed as a woman and was driven to freedom by a famous poet.

Late Alams actually learnt very well from this dude

I bet if the Ooni pays this "abino or yellow pawpaw" a visit, I'm sure he'd be glad the Ooni did. Unfortunately, I don't think "fries" merits a visit from his Majesty, the most dynamic Oba of our generation.

Unfortunately Nigeria doesn't know how to immortalize fallen heroes. Okwaraji and goal-machine Yekini readily comes to mind.

One of the best coaches in Africa. What a big loss.

RIP Stephen!

I can relate the bolded part with your moniker

Poorboy:
I can bet he lives in a public compound, if u stay in a public compound make sure u close monitor ur children.. Don't allow them to move around the compound carelessly from one house in to the other because that's how they learn bad behaviour! And from this story the father said he caught his son and daughter making love in his room, hope the boy didn't learn the act from him.

Ayo Fayose and Kemi Olunloyo are alike. Both can't just keep quiet .

The main question now is how is it that a 74-year-old woman who had lived in Kano for over 40 years and wife to a senior pastor in Deeper Life – blaspheme against prophet Mohammed when she knows better.

If the woman is 74, then her husband should be very old too. I pray he survives this trauma. Watching helplessly as your wife is being clubbed to death is indeed a terror to behold. No mention of the woman being beheaded in the report, was she not beheaded?

Deeperlife Church and Christians generally should pray for the Pastor to overcome this.

Rest well madam but no rest for the wicked. Dauda and his gang should be beheaded already.

Behead these evil men already. By so doing, these acts would reduce drastically. Enough of these 'I condole with the family'.

DCMIX:
kelechi iheanacho nko?

This is not the final selection. Iheanacho would definitely make the list to the Olympics.

This space is reserved to celebrate Barcelona's victory. Please, haters keep off!!!

“I got angry and when I tried coming out of my car to explain to the other security passing cars behind me, the security man used the door of my car to hit me which got me angrier and I got down again and slapped him.

Barristers go like this case. Seyi just admitted he's guilty. Can he prove that the security man actually use his car door to hit him? I bet he has no evidence.

Seyi should just apologise because if this get to court, Peter would smile to the bank.

Dude is saying it is time for him and his fellow polithiefcians to invest their loot .

...and the name of the church is "End time Disciples Ministries", not surprised .

Stupid pastor leading gullible followers.

Champions League is already taken by spanish clubs either Real or Athletico.

Liverpool should just wrestle away this from Sevilla, otherwise, it would all be Spanish champions for Champions League and Europa.

Women are the neck, men are the head. Without the neck, can the head function properly?

Oby was so critical of Jonathan's administration over not doing enough to rescue the Chibok girls and I believe so too.

With the new administration, Oby was so slow to demand that PMB goes on a rescue mission, maybe she was hoping that a juicy portfolio would be given to her for all her support for the "Change" party, unfortunately, PMB isn't predictable. If PMB had given her a juicy post, BBOG would have been history. I think Oby is pained!!!

Whichever way, it's healthy for the government not to play politics with the boko haram issue. I believe the end of bokoharam is near like never before

A ma je oba oooo

The Edo State Government has issued the statement below announcing the death of the Oba of Benin.

The statement did not say when and how the monarch died.

Read full statement below.

“Our hearts are heavy, laden with pains and grief, at the announcement of the passing on to glory of Omo n’Oba n’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Erediauwa of Benin, our highly revered Oba, a distinguished Edo numero uno, an accomplished Nigerian, a seasoned bureaucrat, quintessential unifier, unique personage and exemplary Omo N’Oba, whose reign brought distinction, immense class, finesse and integrity to traditional institution in Edo state and the country at large.

“His carriage comes with an élan that was peculiar with the reverence of royalty. His uncommon courage was symbolic of the can-do spirit of the Edo mind. His unity of purpose was not in doubt even as he used his revered position to promote constructive engagement amongst all shades of opinion and culture in Edo state.

“As a thorough-bred bureaucrat, rising to the pinnacle of his career as a Federal Permanent Secretary, he understood the dynamics and intricacies of governance. He was the alternative voice to the many voiceless in our society, calling government attention to issues of development and transparent governance, without minding whose ox is gored. He was brave, fearless, punchy and instructive in his verbal and written messages.

“To us at the Edo state Government, he was our strongest supporter; both in his uncommon faith in our ability and his readiness to offer uncommon advice to sharpen public discourse in our shared commitment to transform Edo state. It gladdens our heart, therefore, that our revered Oba was alive to witness the positive transformation of Edo state under his reign, and for standing with us through thick and thin in the course of making the Edo economy a treasure to behold. Being part of that eloquent history of transformation before his reunion with his ancestors gives us further reassurance that he will occupy a special pride of place in the hereafter.

“We are enveloped with a deep sense of nostalgia that our great Oba, a great-grandfather, grandfather, father, uncle and iconoclastic royal father of exemplary carriage and conduct, who sustained the dignity of the average Edo mind, has joined his ancestors. We are, however, encouraged by the fact that another great son of the Great Benin Kingdom, His Royal Highness, Edaiken N’Uselu, Crown Prince Eheneden Erediauwa, who is already showing manifest quintessential attributes of his great father, will step into his father’s big shoes.

“Edo people will miss our iconoclastic royal father of the great Benin Kingdom. Nigerians and Nigeria will miss this great exemplar of a Royal Father, an Oba of distinction and integrity. Adieu until we meet to part no more.

“Oba gha to kpere, ise.”
