DARING OR CRAZY: Former Abia State Governor Enters Race For FIFA Presidency








This is almost feeling like a dream and a crazy one at that, but reports reaching us are pointing to the fact that it is actually true. Former governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, has signified his interest in running for president. Old gist, I can almost hear you say. Yes, except that the ‘presidency’ this time is not that of the most populated black nation on earth, but of the world football’s governing body, Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). Yes you heard me right! OUK is set to vie for the presidency of FIFA.

According to the report, the Nigerian Pillar of Sports intends pop up as a surprise choice to replace outgoing President Sepp Blatter as FIFA president even though the source stated further that the business mogul’s mind is not still completely made up

“Nothing is official for now but I can confirm that CAF is already talking to the ex-governor to see if he would give the FIFA presidency a shot,” the source hinted.

Following the recent scandals that rocked the world football’s governing body, its current president, Mr. Sepp Blatter, decided to quit the office just days after winning elections for a fifth term in office. FIFA had also announced February 26, 2016 as the new date for the presidential elections. So, if OUK goes ahead with this ambition, he will be pitting his weight against more favorable candidates such as  Michel Platini, UEFA president and French football legend, Prince Ali, who lost to Sepp Blatter in the last elections and others. Sports analysts believe Mr. Platini is in poll position to clinch the crown after being urged by four of the six FIFA confederations to run for the office.

Although his exploits with Enyimba F.C. of Aba who he ensured broke the jinx to lift the CAF Champions League back-to-back during his time as governor is laudable, analysts believe that OUK does not have what it takes to earn the needed votes on the world football stage. Besides, he has been quiet as far as sports is concerned since his 2-term as governor elapsed.

PoliticsRe: Boko Haram: Should Dialogue Be An Option? by oladamian: 3:18pm On Aug 12, 2015
funmilade4real:
Escalation of the murderous activities of Boko Haram insurgents after the assumption of President Muhammadu Buhari as president is significant because firstly, it put paid to some insinuations or lies told by the past administration and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) about its origin and funding. Before the election, Boko Haram was said to be the North’s sponsored rebellion to destroy former President Goodluck Jonathan’s government. Two, Buhari was said to be the sponsor of the organisation. This was in spite of the attempt by the terrorists to kill the Buhari in a bomb blast targeted at his convoy in Kaduna. Buhari was saved by the whisker. In actual fact, the insurgency was said to be the fulfillment of the alleged threat by Buhari that if he lost the 2011 presidential election, he would make the country ungovernable. The presidency under Jonathan and the PDP made the above the kernel of their campaign during the 2015 election.

There is no gainsaying the fact that Boko Haram insurgency has constituted a threat to the security of this nation. Its activities since debuting some few years ago has resulted in the death of thousands of Nigerians, and the destruction of properties, including the United Nations (UN) office, in Abuja. Besides, the economy of North Eastern Nigeria has been paralysed.  The abduction of about 200 female students of the Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, without any trace till today, has remained a mystery and a slap on Nigeria’s sovereignty.

In actual fact, Nigerian security forces have proved equal to the task, particularly towards the tail end of the immediate past administration. The insurgents were flushed out from their hideout in Sambisa forest, and its arsenals destroyed or seized by the Nigerian military. Since then, the terrorists’ audacity to invade communities has reduced considerably.

Nevertheless, in recent times, particularly since the debut of the Buhari government, activities of the organisation have been renewed with vigour. The menace of Boko-Haram has become more worrisome because of the escalation in suicide bombings, as this deadly mission defies military assault.  The organisation targeted innocent Nigerians and the bombings are becoming prevalent and intractable. The incessant and sporadic nature of the suicide bombings have caught the security forces napping, and called to question the possibility of using force to end the insurgency.

Meanwhile, opinions differ on whether the Federal Government should engage in dialogue with the insurgents or not. Many are of the opinion that the sect should be dealt with decisively and mercilessly in order to pay them back in their own coin. The fact that the grievances of the sect, upon which it unleashed a reign of terror on Nigerians, were spurious and antisocial, tilted the opinion of many against the dialogue option.

However, what makes dialogue with the sect imperative is that in spite of the gallant efforts of Nigerian security forces to destroy the sect, it is being emboldened in its operation. The fact that it is carrying out its suicide bombings unhindered with heavy casualties trailing each attack makes dialogue imperative. From reports from the dailies, more than 400 Nigerians have been killed in the last two months or there about. Furthermore, the menace has become a drain pipe for taxpayers’ money and the earlier the insurgency is nipped in the bud, the better for the nation’s ailing economy. Third, our compatriots in the North East are at the mercy of the sect. Life has become nightmarish for the people because no one knows when the next bomb will explode. Last but not the least is the image of the nation. It is remarkable that Nigerian military has distinguished themselves in United Nations-led and regional peace keeping endeavours worldwide, but its inability to put an end to the insurgency may cast doubt on its pedigree. 

In view of the above, I think the best option for the Buhari-led government is to dialogue with the sect in order to end carnage so that peace can return to the country. It is a fact that the sect has committed heinous crimes, not only against this nation, but against humanity, yet we cannot exonerate our government. President Buhari has a lot to do in this regard. He has treaded the path before and should be able to know how best to handle the situation. I am delighted to read in the dailies, the news credited to the president that his government may dialogue with the sect, but not from a weak position. This is a welcome development. This means that the president, as the father of the nation, is not comfortable with the suffering of Nigerians, particularly those in the affected areas.

There is no doubt that opposition may arise to the dialogue option, but Buhari, being a victim of the dreaded sect, should know how the shoe pinches. The government should put the machinery in motion to identify the leaders of the sect for dialogue to begin in earnest. An adage says “if one uses the right hand to reprimand a child, one should use the left hand to draw him closer.”

CareerRe: First-class Can Sometimes Be Frustrating by oladamian: 3:16pm On Aug 12, 2015
funmilade4real:
I graduated in 2014 with a first class degree in business studies. I am 22 and working as a sales assistant in a clothing store. It was meant to be a part-time job for extra income while studying, however, it feels like I am going to be stuck here forever.

I am looking for office roles, in particular admin roles or those to do with HR. I’ve been applying to jobs since I graduated – I either get no response or, once in a blue moon, I get an interview, but it doesn’t end well. Most places I have applied to say I am an introvert and they prefer someone who is more confident in communicating. Or they say I lack work experience.

What I don’t get is how am I able to get work experience when no one gives me a chance? Every job requires some sort of work experience, even internships and entry level jobs. I’ve been to local recruitment agencies, handed them my CV, but it’s been three months and still no reply. I am getting more demotivated and desperate, please can you give me some advice.

RomanceMy Delicious Landlady by oladamian(op): 12:37pm On Mar 26, 2015
When I first moved into my apartment and was introduced to my landlady by the agent I did a double take. Her house girl came to get the door and ushered us into the sitting room. I was surreptitiously sizing the housegirl up and wondering if I could score. She was plump in a nice sort of way with a heavy Bottom and medium round bosoms. I smiled at her and she smiled back then looked away shyly, rolling her hips a bit more enticingly as she walked in to get madam. “Bad girl,” I thought to myself already gloating in anticipation. We sat down to wait.

After about 15mins i was becoming impatient when, finally the land lady herself emerged. She walked into the sitting room staring at me like my dick was hanging out. It might as well have been. I was staring at the most curvy and fleshy female being I had ever set my eyes on. Round and plump, with bosoms each almost as big as a melon.

Despite her evident roundness, i could make out formidably wide hips through her clothes, a loose blouse with a wrapper tied round her waist. From the way her bosoms were rolling heavily but gently from side to side as she moved, i could tell she was not in bra. She seemed about mid forties ‘Bayo,” she greeted the agent as she sat down, ‘is this my new neighbour?’ ‘you’re welcome’
“thank you ma” I replied.

“I hope you like the apartment, has Bayo taken you round?”
“Yes, I’ve seen it and its quite ok”

After a few more pleasantries and rules and regulations of living in her compound, she asked what I was doing. I told her I was into business and she asked to know if i was married. My negative reply brought the ghost of a smile to her face as she jokingly said, “my house girl is off limits oh,” to which I also jokingly replied, “don’t worry ma, she’s a small girl,” and looking into her eyes added softly, “I like older women.” Her smile widened and she changed the topic.

She soon left me with the agent to work out other details, but I didn’t hear a word he said. My eyes followed my landlady’s departing Bottom and I could feel my long dick start to rise as I imagined burying it in the deep crack between her rolling buttocks. I didn’t have to wait long.

The next day as I was moving my things in, she was driving out to the market. She stopped when she saw me,so she called me over. As she wind down her window I could feel the cool air from her Ac but she was sweating slightly. She has small eyes and full African lips and was wearing a very low cut blouse. My eyes trailed a drop of sweat down her neck and chest until it disappeared into her deep cleavage.

Till today I can’t remember what she asked me. I was just saying “yes ma, yes ma”. Meanwhile my eyes could only stare incredulously at the huge succulent mounds between her arms as she gripped the steering. My oga downstairs was already nodding against the door of her infinity jeep and my heart was pounding loudly in my ears.

All I could think was “chei!! See delicious woman!!,” wondering how those bosoms would feel in my hands. Suddenly I noticed everywhere was quiet. I finally looked up sheepishly to see her smiling at me with a coy look on her face. She said, “I said you should stop saying ma. Call me madam Janet or just Janet, you hear?!” I said I had heard. She took my number and said she would call me later in the day. She gave me a long silent look with that ghost of a smile on her face and as she drove out I could hear her humming along to the radio which was playing wande coal’s “u want it, u bad.” I said to myself “e be like say this madam wan use me play sha.”

I decided to chat up her house girl and learned that she had been married but her husband travelled abroad and she lost contact with him. They had had a big fight and lived separately for two months before he left. She had three kids and the last one was in boarding school

Two days later I was relaxing inside when there was a knock on my door and I heard my landlady’s voice asking if I was in.

I opened the door and there she was in the tightest body hug eva and a pair of tracksuit trousers. It was all I could do to keep my eyes off her swollen bosoms. I managed to close the door partially and hid my disobedient dick behind it.

“I’m going to the gym,” she announced, “but I want you to do me a favour.”

She explained that she had a meeting with some people who wanted her to invest in their business but she didn’t want to go for the meeting alone, could I accompany her?
I won’t have to say anything just sit in and pretend I was her partner. I said I would think about it but she took my hand and pleaded with me to do her this one favour.

I couldn’t believe that was my landlady rubbing my hand and begging. I didn’t know when I said yes and agreed.

I needed to get to the bathroom fast and self-service myself silly, but not before watching that huge bubble Bottom rolling seductively as she walked away. I knew I was in trouble.

How was I supposed to stop my dick from misbehaving while sitting in the car with her?

Just a few seconds chat and I could already feel the precum soaking my boxers. I decided that I would have to put on my tight swimming trunks no matter how uncomfortable it got,so that she wouldn't notice when my stubborn Dickson will rise.

On the day of the meeting I dressed in my best suit and tie and went to join her. She was wearing a knee length floral dress with a v-neck generously showing off her deep cleavage.

This was the first time I had seen her in a dress and it was all I could to not to stare. I was beholding figure-eight that was so full and bootyliciuos there was no space for anything else. The material of her dress was soft and light and occasionally caught in the space between her lush thighs so that I could almost see the outline of her mound and thighs. She smiled at me commented on my smartness then gestured that I should get into the car.

As she drove us, I noticed her dress gradually inching up her thighs as she worked the pedals. The skin was smooth and fair with fine hair and evenly distributed small dark spots. By the time we got to the meeting her thighs were almost halfway exposed but she didn’t seem to care or even notice.

We just made small talk and she smiled at me a lot even if a bit nervously.

We arrived at a hotel in a quiet part of town and we walked inside the reception where she was received familiarly by the receptionist who handed her a key.

She led me upstairs and ushered me into a tastefully furnished suite with a huge double bed. I was a little surprised and I asked,

“Are we holding the meeting here? Where are the others?”

“Not here,” she replied, smiling at me, “but we have time to relax before they arrive.”

“Don’t worry,” she added. “They paid for the room so I could relax before and after the meeting” She took my hand to my absolute amazement, led me to the sofa and poured me a drink, then she took off her shoes and promptly disappeared into the bathroom.

PoliticsObasanjo Reacts To Pdp Claims On Buhari's Certificate by oladamian(op): 11:02am On Jan 22, 2015
MUST READ!
Former Nigeria President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has predicted that the candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari will be the next Nigerian President which why those who are afraid of him are creating so many obstacles on his way, Saying “a general is always a general.

Obasanjo, who was reacting to the controversies generated over the school certificate of General Buhari said: “I see Buhari as the next President and Jonathan is aware of that, and that is the reason they are hitting him everywhere to put confusion in his camp. But a General is always a General… “ The former President said the truth of the matter is that Jonathan is aware that Buhari is qualified to contest for President election but that “some hawks with Jonathan do not want him to contest because they believed that he will win and come for them.

“The issue (of Buhari’s certificate) came up in 2007, and we investigated and found out that his WASEC is with the military and that was why he was allowed to contest in 2007. Buhari cannot listen to anyone about his certificates because as a General of Nigeria Army, he will speak when he chooses, not by Femi Fani Kayode and Okupe asking him, Fayose and other corrupt people including Kashamu do not want Buhari because of his anti-corruption slogan.

“Even Jonathan did not finish his PhD

SportsSupercopa 2nd Leg TONIGHT 9:25PM: Athletico Madrid Vs Real Madrid by oladamian(op): 8:42am On Aug 22, 2014
After their late equaliser at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, the Rojiblancos need only a scoreless draw at the Vicente Calderon to claim their first trophy of the season

James Rodriguez will have the winning goal in his sights when Real Madrid visit Atletico Madrid in the Supercopa de Espana second leg on Friday.

The Colombia international, who arrived from Monaco last month, opened his account for the European champions as they were denied late on in a 1-1 first-leg draw at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday.

James applied the finish to a scrappy build-up to open the scoring in the 81st minute, before Raul Garcia tapped home from a Koke corner to give Atletico the advantage on away goals.

And, while revealing his delight at getting off the mark for Real, James is determined to score a goal of even greater importance when the sides meet again at the Vicente Calderon on Friday.

The encounter is a repeat of last season's Champions League final, which Real won 4-1 after extra-time.

The sides met five times in all competitions during the 2013-14 campaign, and Real also came out on top when the clubs clashed in the Copa del Rey -running out 5-0 aggregate winners in the semi-finals before beating Barcelona in the final.

However, Atletico had the edge in La Liga, taking four points off Real on their way to winning the title.

Real, who have already lifted the Super Cup during pre-season, will have concerns over the fitness of Cristiano Ronaldo, who had to be substituted at half-time in the first leg due to a leg injury, but coach Carlo Ancelotti has assured fans that the problem is not serious.

Luka Modric should be involved after putting pen to paper on a new four-year contract on Wednesday.

Who do you think will win the cup Guys. I'm rooting for the Whites though.

SportsSamuel Okwaraji - An Unsung Hero by oladamian(op): 10:50am On Aug 12, 2014
Today, 12 August 2014, it’s 25 years since Samuel Sochukwuma Okwaraji slumped and died on the field of play for Nigeria. But the government has refused to immortalise a hero in a befitting way to encourage others, writes Chineme Okafor
Twenty four years after watching the August 12, 1989, FIFA World Cup qualifying match between Nigeria’s Green Eagles and the Palancas Negras of Angola in the main bowl of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, where Samuel Sochukwuma Okwaraji demonstrated heroism that eventually claimed his life on the field of play, Bolaji Abdullahi who watched the match as a young man has become the Sports Minister, but he has not called for the books.

Abdullahi has been so busy with the present such that he has forgotten the past. So for Okwaraji the anthem has changed. It was once “the labour of our heroes past shall ever be in vain”.
It was on that fateful Saturday in 1989 when the then Green Eagles midfielder, Okwaraji lined up alongside team mates David Ngodigha, Augustine Eguavoen, Sunday Eboigbe, Stephen Keshi, the late Obobaifo Osaro, Ademola Adesina, the late Uchenna Okafor, Humphrey Edobor, Etim Esim, Samson Siasia and Dahiru Sadi, who substituted Edobor in the second half to play the qualifying game for the upcoming Italia 90’ World Cup against the Angolan senior national team. Nigeria was to win the match by a lone goal but sadly lost Okwaraji whose patriotic representation of Nigeria at soccer was widely acknowledged.

For many Nigerians, that day and hour when Okwaraji slumped and died in the main bowl of the capacity filled National Stadium while he laboured for the glory of the country remains etched in their minds, subtly reminding them of the labours of the fallen soccer hero who fell in vain and utterly negating the sixth and seventh lines of Nigeria’s national anthem.
Indeed, it was the day Nigeria commenced her qualification campaign for the 1990 World Cup hosted in Italy. Accordingly, the Confederation for African Football (CAF) had recorded an estimated 100,000 spectators at the stadium when the game kicked-off at about 4 pm. The Green Eagles led the game with a 44th minute goal from its skipper, Stephen Keshi via a massive build up initiated by Okwaraji in the midfield, all things seemed seamless for Nigeria until Okwaraji slumped and died exactly at the 77th minute of the game.

Within minutes, Okwaraji was shortly pronounced dead by doctors whose autopsy on his remains later showed that he had died of an enlarged heart. Nigeria went on to lose the qualifying ticket to Cameroun on August 27, 1989 at the Stade Omnisports in Yaounde by a lone goal but as described by teammate, Dahiru Sidi in a 2011 interview with Supersports: “It was a shock to us all with the way it happened. I came on as a substitute in that game in the second half and minutes after the game we were told Samuel Okwaraji was dead.
“At that point the win meant nothing to us and I think it affected us in our next game (against Cameroon). Unfortunately we failed to qualify for the World Cup, which would have been a befitting way to honour Okwaraji for his hard work and commitment.”

Born in Orlu in Imo State on May 19, 1964, the late soccer hero had before his death played about 10 matches for Nigeria and scored once. He made his national team debut against Algeria at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Enugu in a Seoul 1988 Olympic qualifier and played a key role at the 1988 African Cup of Nations in Morocco, where he scored the fastest goal of the tournament against Cameroon in the group stages.
Okwaraji also played at the Olympics in Seoul the same year before his last outing against Angola in Lagos. In between, he had played professional football with NK Dynamo Zagreb of Yugoslavia, Vfb Stuttgart and SSV Ulm 1846 of Germany and also got his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in international law from the University of Rome.
Apart from his traditional mother tongue, Igbo, Okwaraji also spoke German, English, Spanish and the Italian languages and was described as a thorough professional with a heart for Nigeria. Such was his patriotism that he was reported to have often played games for the country without requesting for flight tickets and match bonuses.
Prior to his death, a conflict had ensued between him and his club, SSV Ulm 1846, which was significant enough to attract the attention of the then chairman of the Nigeria Football Association (NFA), Group Capt. John Obakpolor, who had mediated in the matter to ensure his participation in the game. SSV Ulm 1846 had demanded $45,000 before it could release Okwaraji for the qualifying games as compensation for what it would lose in gate takings while Okwaraji was away with the national team. But Obakpolor was able to negotiate a deal for the country by paying a much lower $15,000 for his release. That was done without his knowledge and consent.
Okwaraji was reported to have expressed his disappointment with his club’s action when he learnt of it and had told them that he will represent Nigeria without paying a dime, insisting: “I am a lawyer, you know I signed to play football under certain conditions but I don’t think it included reselling my services to my country. You or your club cannot stop me from playing for my country. Let me tell you, I am going to represent my country in the World Cup in Italy whether you like it or not.”

Though he never made it to the World Cup, Okwaraji’s level of commitment to Nigeria was great and equally complimented with his discipline and professionalism such that he never held the country to ransom for his services, match bonuses or return tickets to his base; he would rather pay his way without asking for refund. But almost 24 years after his death, Okwaraji’s sacrifices for his country have come to nought.

Broken Promises
In a recent documentary that was commissioned by the Chike Okagbue Foundation (COF) on the life and times of the late football star, as well as possible efforts if any at immortalising his values, his septuagenarian mother, Mrs. Jane Okwaraji stated her displeasure at the treatment accorded to the memory of her late son.
While she wondered why Okwaraji has not been immortalised by the Nigerian state for his sacrifices, Jane noted that younger generation of Nigerians would not be compelled to give their best for the glory of Nigeria, adding that Okwaraji would have been able to live out some of his dreams that included building a world class youth football academy and a mini stadium, among others.
She asked: “Would it be too much to name the stadium in which he died after him after such a wonderful sacrifice? It is usual to retire the jersey number in which a star footballer died as a mark of respect for such a star but in the case of Sam, it did not happen. Besides, there was no insurance payment for him and we could not get his entitlements from his club abroad because Sam, as it were, did not wait to formally obtain permission from his club before coming to play for the country and died in that match.”
While recollecting some of the qualities that stood her late son out, she said Okwaraji was a very brilliant boy who went abroad to study law at St. Peters University in Rome, Italy, and from there played football and became a professional player.
“When he told me he was coming to play for Nigeria, I asked him what it was all about because I knew that by then he had qualified as a lawyer. But he was very keen on playing for his country and said that he wanted to bring Nigeria to the world map through the World Cup. I didn’t know what he meant then, but he told me that he could be a footballer and a lawyer as well and I respected his wish,” she said.
When asked about government’s efforts at immortalising Okwaraji, his mother said: “That has been my pain all these while, they haven’t done anything to immortalise this boy because he gave his life, money and education for this country and nothing has been done to immortalise him. He slumped and died at the National Stadium in Lagos. But when you go there, you will see his statue that was erected at the gate but I don’t know if that is the kind of immortalisation that befits Sam.
“Nothing has happened irrespective of the kind of burial Nigeria gave to him. It was a very famous national burial that saw markets, banks and all government offices in Enugu closed for him and people lined up the streets for Sam who was given a lot of respect when he died because they brought him home like a king.”
She continued: “It was so painful to me when he died because he was close to my heart and knew what I wanted and would always care for me, but I lost him and it was a terrible loss to me. The government indeed made promises to help me out with the care of my children when Sam died because he was the family’s provider but nothing was done.
“I was at home for a whole year and didn’t teach, receiving condolences from people all over Nigeria for the death of Sam who was multitalented, because I could remember he got a recommendation and congratulatory letter from the Korean government for one of his art works which was chosen as the best in a primary school art contest.”

Lingering Regrets
Okwaraji’s mother said she still feels the pain of Sam’s death 25 years after. “I have regrets and I cannot hide them,” she said. “I feel the pain because I am sure if he lived amongst us, I wouldn’t be kept in this condition. I know he could have done so much more for me because he cared for me. The boy really cared for me while he was alive.
“I am so surprised that a government could make false promises and also fail to fulfill the pledges it made. The government could not feel the death of the 24-year-old boy who died labouring to bring glory to Nigeria. That is so unfair. Nigeria has disappointed me because the government promised to help train my children to any level of education and at the same time help the family but they have failed.”

Keeping His Memory Alive
Speaking to THISDAY on its decision to make a documentary on the life and times of the late soccer player, 24 years after he had passed on, the Chairman, Board of Trustees of COF, Mrs. Chinelo Bob-Osamor stated that the foundation resolved to bring back memories of the late Okwaraji and the neglect of his sacrifices for Nigeria when it visited his aged mother at her home in Enugu to discover the lonely life she had led in his absence.
Bob-Osamor said: “Our society is so wretched in values. To imagine that after all Sam did for this country; spent his money and gave his time for the glory of Nigeria, and as if that wasn’t enough, he died while playing for this country. Yet the government remains so insensitive to the family of a young man that paid a supreme sacrifice for this country.
“At least, I watched the match on the TV in 1989 and saw what happened, so nobody can tell me the story. Sam was an exceptionally good professional back in the day when footballers hardly went to university and he deserved to be honoured in a better way.”

While disclosing the desire of the foundation to foster measures that would keep the memory of Okwaraji alive in Nigeria, Bob-Osamor also spoke of the futile efforts made by the foundation to reach the relevant stakeholders including the National Sports Commission, National Assembly Committees on Sports and other government agencies involved in the management of the game in the country to commit to endorsing and initiating valuable memorabilia in honour of Okwaraji.
“It is pathetic to discover that even the people who you expect to show interest in honouring the late Sam are not even willing to listen to you. We got across to the National Assembly Committees on Sports but were told stories of how difficult it will be to initiate something in the memory of Okwaraji. We tried to get to the Minister of Sports but certain fellows in the office of the minister would not grant us permission to see the man. That is the kind of society we live in, robbing Peter to pay Paul
“24 years back it was Okwaraji, and a couple of years ago it was Rashidi Yekini, tomorrow it may be Kanu Nwankwo, another great footballer who has done so well for the country yet the government does not deem it fit to honour these men and women that have served to glorify this country, but would rather honour thieves and crooks with high profile honours,” she lamented.

Christianity EtcLagos Pastor Dr. Sign Fireman Arrested Over Alleged Ritual Murder Of Virgin Girl by oladamian(op): 5:14pm On Jan 08, 2014
"Sign Fireman has been implicated in a ritual murder scandal involving a boy in his church who strangled a 12 year old girl while trying to obtain feces from her for ritual purposes.
The disclosure of Pastor Fireman's involvement in the scandal was made by an eighteen year old boy paraded by the police in Lagos. The teenage suspect (pictured above) stated during the parade that he was sent on the ritual mission by Pastor Fireman.
He said he had always dreamt of becoming rich and had approached the pastor personally, after years of attending the church without his own financial miracle happening, Mr. Fireman reportedly told him the way to get his Sign for finance was to get the feces of a virgin girl. The suspect said Pastor Fireman promised him a reward of N100,000 for the assignment.

The suspect narrated how he sought and killed the 12 year old girl simply named "Bose", the daughter of poor lady on his street.

Confirming the incident to a Lagos correspondent this morning, Lagos Police PRO, Mrs. Ngozi Braide said Pastor Fireman was arrested on Tuesday five days after he was declared wanted by the police. She said investigation has commenced regarding his involvement.

She also said the outcome of the investigation would soon be made public.

With his church receiving hordes of miracle seekers every weekend, Pastor Fireman's church auditorium at Aguda, Surulere area of Lagos is reportedly notorious for using semi-nude female ushers

ULSHERLAN: From your writeup it seems the inlaws are in a way richer and it also seems your gonna give in to their demands. Hey mister, you are the man here. If they are not comfortable with your father now they can never be later. Man up bro
They ar not richer but they are cmfortable. i think they are only leveraging on the fact that "wedding is for the bride".

RomanceMy In-laws Says My Father Must Not Wear Sutana (white Garment) by oladamian(op): 7:45am On Jan 03, 2014
Dear NL, please i need your advise.

My pops is an alagba/olusho (priest) of a celestial church and we all kno that all the cele priest do not wear any other form of cloth apart from sutana (white garment). even if they are travellin abroad, they only put on sutana. The issue now is that i'm engaged with the woman of my choice and our wedding is bid to hold before the year runs out. My father said he's not putting on any other cloth apart from the white garment on my weddin day and my in-laws has insisted that he must not do such. With the way things are, they might disgrace us on that day if my pops wear the garment. i'm thinking of threatening to call off the wedding maybe both parties could reach a compromise.

what should i do? kindly advise.
