Who made mikel obi our star player?

Techwriter: I started this thread on Nairaland since last week and it didn't make front page until it is made an islamic issue. Someone that did not read the book, copied my post and put it in an islamic website and it now made front page. Muslims should stop this copycating it is sinful; must u copy everything? Just read similar threads recommended by Nland above and u see my own with slight adjustment of title I gave it

My friend get Ur facts right. Am a Christian. This thread has nothing I mean absolutely nothing to do with Christianity or Islam. I didn't see your thread before starting this. And yes I had to add reference/source because they are not my words and Ali didn't personally tell me.

What's with people and front page?

This piece might interest, inspire, and elicit a change of attitude to at least one person.An incident transpired when Muhammad Ali’s daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were quite revealing.

Here is the story as told by one of his daughters:

“When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my father’s suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one day.

My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, “Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world is covered and hard to get to.

Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.

Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell.

Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers and layers of rock. You’ve got to work hard to get to them."

He looked at me with serious eyes. “Your body is sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be covered too.”

Boring

But how come ngozi couldn't afford to pay her medical bill herself? Does it mean there is no money in the movie industry or these people don't invest?

Even alams begged 4 banana when he was in the British prison

Even if this doesn't totally apply to the Nigeria context I tink its worth knowing

The true is, she is not really rich. What an absurd way of teaching humility.

Unless I am $1million or above richer I will press the red button. Taking risk must be applied with wisdom

Despite all I wish osaze made the list. Love it or hate it he is like one of our best

Religion has killed one more person

He who breaks a resolution is a weakling; He who makes one is a fool.

You had 4 to 6 years to prove your worth, don't blame any employer who doesn't give you a second chance. If you were that good you should have proved your worth in school when it mattered.

Just so you know which by the way am not an advocate of such, some companies have a very bureaucratic setting where only 1st class and 2:1 are employed. I once heard of a law firm that employ only graduate of Harvard law school.

I can't see uti nwachukwu cos d guy like dis kind tin

Get yourself a samsung galaxy note 10.1 that has an inbuilt remote control for all types of tv so you can be the commander in chief of the television irrespective of who is holding the follow come remote.

When I go to public places and I don't like the station displaying I use my galaxy note to either change the channel or better still switch it off without anybody knowing.

More than one billion naira for holiday? Maybe president Obama has got some Nigerian blood.

$16.4 trillion – that’s the latest figure for America’s massive national debt. Nearly $6 trillion of this debt was racked up in the first term of the Obama presidency – a 50 percent increase. It is horrifying to imagine what the debt will be when Obama leaves the White House in 2016, unless Congress has the willpower to stand in the way.Meanwhile, as the world’s superpower is literally drowning in debt, President Obama is basking in the warmth of the beaches of Hawaii, at an exclusive resort way beyond the financial reach of most Americans. The president pays the cost of his own family’s accommodations, but there are a large number of associated costs which are paid from the public purse.

Meanwhile, as the world’s superpower is literally drowning in debt, President Obama is basking in the warmth of the beaches of Hawaii, at an exclusive resort way beyond the financial reach of most Americans. The president pays the cost of his own family’s accommodations, but there are a large number of associated costs which are paid from the public purse.What is the actual cost of Obama’s lavish vacation to the American taxpayer? A staggering $7 million, according to veteran White House reporter Keith Koffler, who wrote in his blog earlier this week:

In a move that is rich in irony, President Obama agreed Tuesday night to sign an emergency deficit reduction bill that does almost nothing to rein in spending and then jetted out to Hawaii to resume his vacation at an extra cost of more than $3 million to taxpayers.The price tag is in addition to more than $4 million that is already being spent on the Obamas’ Hawaii idyll, bringing the total cost of the excursion to well over $7 million.The added cost was incurred because by the time the Obamas return from Hawaii – whenever that is – the president will have used Air Force One to travel to Honolulu and back twice.

The White House doesn’t like to publish the costs of presidential vacations, but Koffler has done the sums:Air Force One is known to cost about $180,000 an hour to fly. Based on an estimated 18 hours roundtrip flying time for the jet between Washington and Honolulu, the travel cost alone of Obama’s decision to return to Hawaii amounts to around $3.24 million. And that doesn’t include the price tag for the massive security operation required to move the president or the cost of the cargo plane that follows Air Force One around.As Koffler notes, President Obama could easily have saved taxpayers a good deal of money:The Obamas could have saved taxpayers millions by returning from Hawaii together after Christmas and then resuming their vacation at one of the many ritzy resorts that lie outside of Washington. If the beach is a must, even a trip to Florida would have been far less expensive.Or they could have simply stayed at the White House or Camp David, each a luxurious government-run installation, billing taxpayers a relative pittance.


According to Koffler, "the total cost to taxpayers of Obama’s vacations to Hawaii since becoming president is likely in excess of $20 million, and possibly much, much more."
The message this sends is one of sheer contempt for the American taxpayer. $7 million may be viewed by the White House as a drop in the ocean compared to the overall size of America’s federal debt, but it is the principle that counts. The vast majority of American people simply couldn’t afford the kind of vacation enjoyed by the US president, not least at a time when 12.2 million Americans are still out of work.

For most of America’s embattled middle class, who, unlike the president have already returned to work, this kind of luxury is simply unimaginable in the current economic climate. And they’ve just been hit hard with a significant rise in their payroll taxes due to the expiration of the Social Security tax break. According to the Tax Policy Center, 77 percent of US households will now be paying more in federal taxes following this week’s fiscal cliff deal.

Barack Obama benefits from a largely deferential liberal press in the United States which rarely questions his opulence in office. It would be unthinkable for the British prime minister to act in the same manner. If David Cameron flew off to Hawaii and billed the British public £5 million for his Christmas vacation, he would be out of a job.

President Obama frequently calls on the American people to make sacrifices, but he is simply unwilling to lead by example and do so himself. In a speech in Virginia back in April 2011, Obama famously declared:We are going to have to ask everybody to sacrifice. And if we’re asking community colleges to sacrifice, if we’re asking people who are going to see potentially fewer services in their neighborhoods to make a little sacrifice, then we can ask millionaires and billionaires to make a little sacrifice.

The president is elected to serve his country, rather than lord over it, a message which appears to be completely lost on the present White House. The federal government is simply running out of money, and America faces economic ruin unless spending is cut dramatically and the vast entitlements system is reformed. Barack Obama’s Hawaii vacation is merely a symbol of his wider presidency – a culture of impunity and extraordinary arrogance, reckless spending, a striking lack of accountability, and a shameless let them eat cake mentality. America’s middle class deserves to be treated better than this from a president who fails to practice what he preaches.

Does it help in curing pimples and giving you a smooth face?

Azazi was a good man like you claimed why did you sack him then? Oh wait a minute you don't want the country to progress

Shouldn't edochie himself or the family members be the ones to refute the news?

The beginning of confusion in the home.

[quote author=some-girl]how so? when they don't they know the couple?[/quote]Check the meaning of uninvited guest and gate crasher.

My sister got wedded last two month the husband underestimated the number of well wishers from my paternal and maternal family (before you star shouting, we are africans and family members count) but for my quick intervention it could have being something as I gave out my two canopies. For goodness sake I wouldn't let my extended family members outside because there names were not in a gadamn VIP list.

@op u must make provision for both invited and uninvited guest. Lets say you boss at work wasn't on the list and he showed up, will it be fair to bounce him or you invited just him and he came with a friend?

Bottom line don't create enemies for yourself because you want a classic wedding. On a lighter mood. The more the merrier

Not all uninvited guest want to eat your food, some want to come share your moment of joy with you. Is it then right for you to bounce them out?

I attend believers love world alias Christ embassy. Reason. Come as you are, you are not saved by your pressume good work but by the grace of God

True is we are not both equal. Even if we are some are more equal than others.
