How Former UBEC, TETFUND
Bosses Stole N850 Million Meant
For School Desks, Chairs
Posted by adislovewhite on
November 24, 2012 in Aproko,
News
Immediate past Executive
Secretaries of Universal Basic
Education Commission (UBEC) and
Education Tax Fund (ETF), now
Tertiary Education Trust Fund
(TETFund), Dr. Ahmed Modibbo
Mohammed and Prof. Mahmood
Yakubu, pocketed N850 million
meant to buy chairs and desks for
school children, Pointblanknews.
com can authoritatively reveal.
Their successors in office have
reportedly launched investigations
into the whereabouts of the
money which a Federal High Court
in June 2011 ordered to be paid
into an interest yielding account.
Their efforts have so far drawn
blank.
Upon their “redeployments” on
September 3, 2007, Modibbo and
Yakubu cashed N850 million
approved by their predecessors to
mobilise a plastics chair
manufacturer, Intermarkets
Nigeria Limited. The company was
to produce 70,000 units of chairs
and tables for school children.
having earlier manufactured for
UBEC under Phase 1 of the
project.
Interestingly, over five years
after another N850 million was
drawn for Phase 2 of the
manufacturing contract,
Intermarkets is still waiting to be
mobilised.
A whole year after the release of
the N850 million, Modibbo placed
advertorials in some newspapers
“Invitation for Pre-Qualification of
Firms to Tender for the
Production and Suppy of Plastic
Desks and Chairs for Junior
Secondary Schools.”
In the Friday, August 22, 2008,
editions of THISDAY and Daily
Trust newspapers, Modibbo
advertised: UBEC “has received
financial support from the
Education Tax Fund (ETF) and
intends to apply the proceeds for
the procurement of high-grade,
impact resistant co polymer resin
desks and chairs for the basic
education sub-sector at the states
and FCT level in Nigeria.”
In the Wednesday, November 5,
2008 editions of the same
newspapers, Modibbo announced
that he had pre-qualified some
companies. 17 of these belonged
to his wife, Aishatu.
Curiously, Modibbo inserted the
footnote “These firms have been
pre-qualified subject to
confirmation of ownership of
factory for the production of
plastic furniture.”
Observed a UBEC official: “In one
breath, Modibbo announced he
had pre-qualified some
companies. After pre-qualification
comes bidding process. Yet he
was talking of ‘subject to
confirmation of ownership of
factory.’ What then was the basis
for the pre-qualification?”
Some of the companies Modibbo
pre-qualified, which belonged to
his wife, are Binani Nig. Ltd.,
Ojunwa Enterprises, Binwa Nig.
Ltd., Al-Malal Nig. Ltd. Golden
Crescent Nig. Ltd., Al-Hazen
Enterprises and Infinity Telecoms
Ltd., among others.
At the time four of the
‘companies,’ including Binwa and
Ojunwa had not been registered
with the Corporate Affairs
Commission (CAC).
Unfortunately for the former
UBEC boss, Intermarkets rushed
to a Federal High Court and
obtained an order restraining him
from re-awarding what the firm
considered its contract to his
wife’s companies.
On the heels of the restraining
order, Pointblanknews gathered,
Modibbo and Yakubu resolved to
share the N850 million.
Armed with information that
Modibbo and Yakubu had shared
the money, Intermarkets, in
February 2011, approached the
court to order UBEC and TETFund
pay the contentious N850 million
into its account.
Yakoob had earlier entangled
himself by deposing to an affidavit
that the N850 million was not
only safe, but in his custody.
Interestingly, when the matter
came up in court, the same
Yakubu, who had in an affidavit
dated 21 January, 2011, claimed
the money was in his custody, put
up every possible legal road block
to prevent the court granting the
contractor’s prayer.
Unknown to the former TETFund
boss, his opposition to the
contractor’s prayer for the money
to be paid into the court’s
account, only helped to confirm
that he and his UBEC colleague
had shared the money.
On July 29, 2011 Justice Abdu
Kafarati granted Intermarkets’
prayers and ordered Yakub’s
TETFund and Modibbo’s UBEC to
deposit the said N850 million in
an interest-yielding account of his
court.
Initially, Yakubu pretended to be
satisfied with the order.
He asked his lawyers Uwais and
Uwais to write the Chief Registrar
of the court to prepare to receive
the money. In the letter dated
February 23, 2012, with
reference number WUC/32/FHC/
OD/12, his lawyers penned: “We
write in respect of the Order of
Court Coram Justice Abdu Kafarati
on the 29th day of July, 2011,
ordering the 1st and 2nd
defendants to deposit with the
Chief Registrar of the Federal
High Court, to be placed in an
interest yielding account, the sum
of N850 million.
“We hereby request that the said
account be opened and that you
furnish us with the account details
including, 1. Name of Bank; 2.
Account Number, and 3. Sort
Code, to enable the Defendants
transfer the said amount
accordingly.”
In the letter signed by Obinna D.
Obinna D. Ogbuagu, TETFUnd
added, “We look forward to
receiving the required
information before the next
adjourned date, which is the 19th
day of March, 2012.”
Curiously, shortly after writing the
court, Yakubu instructed TETFund’s
lawyers to file an appeal at the
Federal Court of Appeal. The
notice of appeal was dated 9th
September, 2011.
However Ruling that UBEC and
TETFund had nothing to lose if
they complied with the
preservative order by depositing
the N850 million with the Federal
High Court, Justice Hussain
Mukthar of the Federal Court of
Appeal last October dismissed
TETFund’s appeal.
As things stand, Yakoob and
Modibbo on September 3, 2012
exhausted their terms and may
not be re-appointed.
UBEC’s acting Executive Secretary,
Prof. Onocha Pointblanknews.com
gathered, has been appealing to
Modibbo to quietly return the
N850 million “so that we can
move forward.”
However, some UBEC and
TETFund officials insist that what
Modibbo and Yakubu should be
made to refund N1.6 billion
which they say is the interest that
should have accrued to N850
million over five years.
The commission’s Legal Adviser
Ms. Fati Abubakar is reportedly
uncomfortable with the legal fees
incurred by Modibbo. She has
reportedly complained to Onocha
on the impropriety of shouldering
the legal responsibilities of
Modibbo, who no longer is a staff
of UBEC.
Part of the legal fees, which run
into tens of millions of Naira,
accumulated over time from the
services of such law firms as Gaul
Gate and Anachebe and
Anachebe.
Modibbo’s tenure which lapsed in
September was strewn with
controversies and court cases.
The latest suit against Modibbo
was filed on September 14, 2012,
by a suspended deputy director,
Molkat Mutfwang.
A senior architect, Mutfwang has
approached a Federal High Court
sitting in Abuja seeking the court
to, among other things,
determine Modibbo’s eligibility to
be re-appointed UBEC boss.
Mutfwang asked the court to
determine if Modibbo’s
admissions in court to giving his
wife UBEC contracts running into
billions of Naira did not breach
the Procurement Act, Code of
Conduct and Penal Code, and that
if such didn’t amount criminal
breach of trust.
He asked the court to determine
“whether in the light of his not
being an educationist, the first
defendant (Modibbo) should be
reappointed as the ES of UBEC
having regard to the provisions of
section 10 (1) of the UBEC Act,
2004.
“Whether having regard to the
brazen abuse of office and acts of
oppression perpetrated by the 1st
defendant during his first tenure
as ES, UBEC; the said defendant
should be reappointed for a 2nd
tenure in the same capacity”
The architect also asked the court
to determine “Whether having
regard to the 1st defendants
admissions on record in a court
of law that he awarded contracts
to his wife (through various
companies-registered and
unregistered) without disclosing
his relationship with her thereby
compromising his position as a
public officer in violation of the
Public Service Regulations.”
Based on the aforementioned,
Muftwang sought “an order of
injunction restraining the 2nd
defendant, President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria from
extending or renewing the tenure
of the 1st defendant as ES, UBEC”
He also sought an injunction
“restraining the 3rd, 4th, 5th and
6th defendants from
recommending, effecting or giving
effect to any step geared towards
renewing the tenure of the 1st
defendant as ES, UBEC”
Listed as the 2nd defendant was
President Goodluck Jonathan;
Secretary to the Government of
the Federation was listed as the
3rd; Attorney General of the
Federation was the 4th; Minister
of Education, the 5th; while UBEC
pulled up the rear as the 6th
defendants.
Muftwang also prayed the court
for a declaration “that the 1st
defendant (Modibbo) by his
actions is not a fit and proper
person to be re-appointed as ES,
UBEC,” and an “order of
mandatory injunction against the
AGF to prosecute the 1st
defendant for offences against the
Code of Conduct Bureau Act,
Procurement Act and Penal Code
including corruption, criminal
breach of Trust and Perjury.”
Muftwang’s originating summons
were supported by a 33-point
affidavit.
UBEC sources told
Pointblanknews.com that they
believed Mutfwang’s suit was
triggered by Modibbo’s arrogance
during his handover to Prof.
Onocha.
During the brief ceremony,
sources told Pointblanknews.com ,
Modibbo had boasted to senior
officials that his absence would be
short-lived, as the
recommendation for his re-
appointment would be approved
by President Goodluck Jonathan
“any minute.”
Sources close to the former UBEC
boss offered that Modibbo’s
confidence in his re-appointment
was buoyed by the N75 million
he claimed to have disbursed to
top officials of the Ministry of
Education for the purpose.
According to UBEC Act (2004), an
Executive Secretary can only be
appointed by the President on
the recommendation of the
Minister of Education.
However, UBEC falls under the
purview of the Minister of State
for Education, Chief Onyeso Wike.
Onocha, who was described as a
lily-livered professor, was so
traumatized by Modibbo that he
still lives in the shadow of his
former boss.
So strong was Modibbo’s grip on
UBEC that he reportedly walked
away with his office key. “It was
only last Sunday (November 19)
that oga (Modibbo) came to move
his personal belongings,” said an
official.
During Modibbo’s tenure, Onocha
served as deputy Executive
Secretary.
Shortly before the former
Executive Secretary exhausted his
tenure, he appointed the law
firm of Anachebe and Anachebe
to defend him in a breach of
contract suit instituted by a plastic
furniture manufacturer
Intermarkets Nigeria Limited and
their American parent company
Intermarkets USA LLC.
On May 9, 2012, Anachebe, a
Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN)
threw decorum to the dogs and
engaged a much junior female
lawyer Ms. Regina Okotie-Eboh in
a verbal brawl in the premises of
the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The SAN and Ms. Okotie-Eboh, to
the bewilderment of a crowded
court, hurled unprintable names
at each other.
Anachebe was to later disclose in
a petition that when he called up
Ms. Okotie-Eboh’s boss, Rickey
Tarfa, also a SAN, to protest her
“unruly behaviour,” Tarfa snapped
that he (Anachebe) got what he
deserved.
The frosty relationship between
Anachebe and Tarfa, who is
counsel to Intermarkets, has
showed little signs of thawing.
Both senior lawyers have dragged
themselves before the
disciplinary committee of the
Nigeria Bar Association (NBA).
It is the same Anachebe that the
UBEC Legal Adviser has advised
should be stopped from further
putting up legal fees’ claims from
UBEC.
“How do we justify payments for
the legal fees for Modibbo, who
is now more or less a passer-by?”
the UBEC legal adviser reportedly
tasked the acting Executive
Secretary. |

“So, when you grow up, what would you like to be?” Nneka asked her pupils. Her face was beaming with a resplendent smile. Her passion for life, her love for teaching and care for her students were infectious. Each time she smiled, her pupils smiled in response, almost in sync; as though they were under the spell of her adorable smile. From one end of the classroom to another, smiles were beaming all over with pure juvenile innocence and a zest for life. Hands sprouted in the air like seeds germinating simultaneously. “Aunty I…Aunty I…Aunty I,” they bellowed in an attempt to beat one another to Nneka’s question. one another to Nneka’s question. “Okay, you first Patience ,” Nneka finally said pointing at one of her star students. Patience was slightly taller than her peers. She was well liked in class, and very intelligent. “When I grow up, I want to be a doctor,” she answered with a ravishing smile. Her entire thirty two teeth flashed brilliantly as she stood at her desk. Her well patterned braid glistened along with her smile. “So, why do you want to be a doctor?” Nneka asked her. “Because I want to wear long white robes and study about diseases. I want to cure people.” “That is beautiful Patience. It is wonderful that you want to cure the sick. What about you Chima ?” Chima was a shy boy, albeit very intelligent. He said very little in class, but on the playground, he was a bulldozer. His mother was a teacher, so he seemed to study more than his peers at home, and as a result, he was among the top three students in his class. He wore spectacles due to an eye ailment he was born with. “I want to be a Chemical Engineer,” Chima said with a subdued smile. “Do you mind telling us why, Chima?” “Yes aunty. I want to be a Chemical Engineer because I want to work for the biggest oil company in the country. Besides, my father is a Chemical Engineer, so I want to be like him when I grow up.” “Wonderful!” Nneka exclaimed in her characteristic ebullient manner. “What of you Ikemefuna ?” “I want to be a lawyer,” he answered without hesitation. Ikemefuna was cantankerous, always picking a fight with a classmate. One evening, a neighbor had told him that he behaved like a lawyer, so he bought into the idea hook, line and sinker. From that day on, he told everyone who cared to listen that he was going to be a lawyer. “Why?” “I want to be a lawyer because lawyers are respected. I want to throw all the bad people in prison and fight for innocent people,” he answered with unrestrained energy. “That is wonderful. Society needs more of your kind, Ikem. What about you Onyenachi ?” Onyenachi said she would like to be a nurse so she could care for sick people. Lotanna , wanted to be a pilot, so he could fly all over the world. Ijeoma said she would like to be a nurse too. Sandra said her dream was to become a medical doctor, so she could find the cure for malaria. John wanted to be a Civil Engineer, so he could build mansions. The list continued. Nneka made sure she had something pleasant to say about each of her pupils’ aspirations. Her smile appeared to grow stronger and bolder with each passing minute. As Nneka went from the front of the class to the back, Ikechukwu sat quietly at the back. He was his usual quiet self. He said very little in class, and always seemed to be in a deep thought. He was not among the very top students in his class, but he was not far from that top list though. He was resolute, very sure of himself and calm. He was no afraid to say his mind even when the entire class was up against him. It seemed like he always had a divergent opinion from the rest of the world and today was not any different. His classmates were eager to find out what his aspirations were. “What of you? What do you want to be when you grow up?” Chinwe asked Ikechukwu before Nneka reached their desk. Her voice was a quite whisper, which only Ikechukwu heard. Chinwe was Ikechukwu’s neighbor in class. They had been sitting together from the beginning of the academic year. Nneka moved her pupils around every now and again to get them to know one another better. For some reason, she had yet to separate Chinwe and Ikechukwu. “I don’t know yet,” Ikechukwu replied. “What of you?” He whispered additionally. Chinwe looked at him as though he (Ikechukwu) had fallen out of the moon. “What do you mean you don’t know?” She whispered with a bemused look on her face. “I don’t know,” Ikechukwu insisted. “You are always different right? Everyone knows what they want to be except you. You just like to be different. Well, I want to be a doctor,” Chinwe shot back at him managing to keep her voice to a whisper. When it was Chinwe’s turn, she reeled out her answer with boisterous zeal. “I want to be a doctor because I want to cure people with malaria, typhoid fever and all kinds of diseases,” she said as her loud voice echoed through the classroom. “That is very wonderful Chinwe. You keep working hard and you will get there.” “Thanks!” She replied with a wide smile that left her eyes sunken in the happy contours that arrived on her face along with that big smile. “Ikechukwu what would you like to be when you grow up?” Nneka asked. Everyone looked back, eager to find out what Ikechuwku’s aspirations were. He said nothing for a moment, as though he was mulling over the question. “Do you want to share with us Ikechukwu?” Nneka pressed him gently, still maintaining a smile on her face. Then, Ikechukwu responded. “I don’t know what I want to be when I grow up aunty. You see, there are other things that confuse me…things that worry me and I have yet to find an answer to them. Maybe when I do, then I can think of what I want to be when I am an adult.” Everyone in class looked perplexed, including Nneka. She managed to hide hers though, letting a smile embellish her face. “Would you like to share those things with us Ikechukwu,” she persuaded him as gently as she could. “Aunty,” he said after another wait. “Yes, go ahead.” “This morning, I am sure most of my classmates had breakfast before coming to school. Some of them even had their parents drop them off in their cars. Some have lunch boxes packed for the afternoon. Clearly, they are wearing a different set of uniforms today than they did yesterday. I did not have breakfast this morning. I am not sure of lunch either. I am hoping there will be dinner – you see, dinner is almost certain in my family, but breakfast and lunch are hard to come by. My parents save the little we have for just supper. At least we have something in our stomach before we go to bed. I have been wearing the same set of uniforms from last year. I have almost grown out of them, but since my parents cannot afford another one, I have to keep wearing the same set. My mother has patched them up the best she could. I have never had scandals, so I walk to school on bare feet. My parents work so hard, yet we are so poor…And I love them so much. I always tell my father that when I grow up, I want to help him. I don’t know how, but I just want to help my father and mother; to help my brothers and sisters. When my little sister cries for lack of food at home, it leaves me in tears. I carry her in my arms and I tell her that someday, I want to look after her. I want to wipe her tears away. I want to buy Christmas clothes for my siblings and parents. In the past four years, no one has gotten Christmas clothes in my house. On Christmas day when our neighbors file out in bright new clothes, we hang our heads in shame as we shuffle to church in the same old, ragged clothes.” He paused for a moment as if he wanted to make certain that he was driving home his point. “Aunty, it is hard to think about anything else than ending the pains that torture your family when you find yourself in my shoes. I just want to help my parents, brothers and sisters – that is my dream for now. I go to bed every night thinking of that. I wake up praying to grow up and help. That is all I want to do now. I don’t know how I am going to do it, or what I am going to become, but whatever that comes to be, I sure hope it allows me to wipe the tears I know run down the cheeks of my parents when they lay down at night thinking of what their children will eat tomorrow!” Nneka did not know whether to let the tears flow or whether to hide them. Torn, she walked closer to Ikechukwu and took him in her arms. “I am so sorry to hear what your family has been going through Ikechukwu!” She said emotionally. “Take my lunch!” Chinwe offered, holding her bread and egg out to Ikechukwu. “You can have it all, I don’t care. I will bring you some more tomorrow,” she said emphatically. Tears rolled down her face, as with her classmates. Even those who did not like Ikechukwu before now felt a deep pang of pity for him. “You can have mine too,” Patience offered. She held out her lunch box with one hand while she wiped tears off her face with the other. Sandra was sobbing violently. She was one of the smallest pupils in Nneka’s class. She hopped off her seat and walked over to Ikechukwu who was still wrapped up in Nneka’s arms. “Please can I hug you too Ikechukwu?” She asked. “I don’t want to be a doctor anymore. When I grow up, I want to be just like you Ikechukwu. I just want to help people starting with my family.” She placed one of her short, slender arms on Ikechukwu’s back and the other Nneka’s legs. She tried so hard to get a better hold of Ikechukwu who was crying too. “I just want to be like you!” Sandra said more emphatically. After a prolonged hug, Nneka hesitantly let go of Ikechukwu, but Sandra would not let go. She put both arms around him as if her hands could wipe his searing pains away. Nneka wiped her face, sniffed for a moment and looked around the class, almost dazed. “Thanks for sharing your situation with us Ikechukwu. I will bring you lunch every day and something you can take home for dinner, okay?” She said, still somewhat Perplexed. She wanted to wipe all his tears away, but she didn’t quite know how, or if she could solve all of his family’s problems. “We’ll bring something for Ikechukwu everyday too!” Patience suggested. “Yes!” The rest of the class offered. “I hope that will help, Ikechukwu?” Nneka asked hoping that somehow, she and her pupils were being of help. “Stop crying my boy,” she encouraged him trying to gain hold of him again, but little, feisty Sandra wouldn’t let go. She held tightly onto Ikechukwu. “It is okay Sandra,” Nneka coaxed her. Half-heartedly, Sandra loosened the grip on her left arm, but not her right arm. She wanted to maintain some hold on Ikechukwu. Now that he had some room to breathe, Ikechukwu managed to wipe his tears, take a deep breath and say, “Chinwe can I have the lunch? I am really hungry.” “Yes, have it all,” Chinwe offered generously. “Go ahead and eat Ikechukwu,” Nneka encouraged her. “Can I have yours too Patience, so I can run over to the next building and offer it to my younger brother who is in elementary four. He could use some food too.” “Yes!” Patience said exuberantly delighted to be of some help. “Eat first Ikechukwu. When you finish, then I can go to the other building with you to offer the other box to your brother,” Nneka suggested. “Please aunty; can I go offer that to my brother first? He is younger. I think he needs it more than I do,” Ikechukwu pleaded. Another streak of tears spontaneously dropped from Nneka’s eyes. She tried to wipe them, but more tears surged to the fore with relentless force. She walked over to her purse, took a handkerchief and wiped her face. “It is okay, sit down and eat Ikechukwu. Patience please hand me that box. I will go over to elementary four and offer this to your brother,” Nneka offered. “Thanks aunty. His name is Kenechukwu. He is in elementary four B,” Ikechukwu said. “Okay, I will make sure he gets it.” Only then did Ikechukwu sit down to eat the bread and fried egg that Chinwe had offered him. Sandra ran over to her school bag and dug out a box of Caprisun, which she offered to Ikechukwu. “Aunty please can you give this to my brother too?” Ikechukwu requested instead, as Nneka was leaving. She turned back, took the juice from him and headed out. I pray I can be just like him, she thought to herself as she left the class still fighting back tears. After handing the windfall to Ikechukwu’s brother, she went to the bathroom, lotcked herself in and cried emotionally. Lord, please make me like that little boy. He has thought me the best lesson of my life, she thought to herself. THE END! |
Our dear son, Prince Audu has
refused to change his ways even
at old age.
Who will help us change this 68
years old Prince.
Can you imagine that Eid prayers
did not hold as it was scheduled
in Aloma,
Ofu LGA because of one man?
Muslim ummah had to wait
impatiently for
Audu to arrive before we
commence prayer to Almighty
Allah! Eid prayer was
scheduled to hold by 9am in the
morning, but our dear Audu did
not show up
at the prayer ground, against the
tradition of Islam, until after
1pm. Prayers
commenced after he arrived but
many faithfuls had left in
annoyance.
Anytime we mix with other
Kogians in Lokoja, we notice that
Kogi people
have one thing in common
against Audu. Almost all Kogians
will tell you that
our Prince is proud, pompous and
arrogant.
Our Prince is always giving us
concerns with his unchanging
character.
People complained about these
traits while he was in government
and people
are still complaining about this
about Audu. Is it impossible for
Audu to
change? Must you show your swag
before the Almighty? |
SenseiX:Kai!! Bros your head they there, Yahaya Bello would have been a formidable candidate!! Though i am from kogi east but i don't like any of the candidates representing Apc and pdp!!! Prefer wada to pa Audu, You can't have Tinubu as your God father in Lagos and loss any elections likewise having Ibro and loss any elections in kogi state!!! Ibrahim idris the Godfather!!! |
GabrielSuswam:Tah!!! Go and sit down kogi central will never vote for those two clowns from kogi east!!! They will rather vote for the one and only "Yahaya Bello" even if he defects to kowa!!! Yahaya plans defection to SDP to actualise governorship ambition A former governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress may have perfected plans to defect to another party in order to contest the November governorship election in Kogi State. In a short message to his supporters, Yahaya Bello pledged to be on the ballot in the election. He said his determination to give leadership to the state can no longer be delayed. “I, Alh Yahaya Bello shall be on the ballot in the forthcoming Governorship election of Kogi State, Insha Allah. The coast is clear and the time is NOW! Details soon. Many thanks to all”, the message stated. A close confidant of the millionaire politician told Vanguard that arrangements for the defection had long been perfected but that the transport czar was only bidding time to listen to the party leadership before unfolding his next line of action. He said the party took all aspirants for granted on the choice of a running mate for Audu. Another reliable source told our reporter that Yahaya Bello may eventually run on the Social Democratic Party platform. He said some key leaders of both the PDP and APC are working together on the project to make power rotation a reality. |

Reckless Driver
A Manchester City fan liked to
amuse himself by scaring every
United supporter he saw strutting
down the street in an obnoxious
Man U jersey. He would swerve
his van as if to hit them, then
swerve back just missing them.
One day while driving along, he
saw a priest. He thought he
would do a good deed, so he
pulled over and asked the priest,
"Where are you going, Father?"
"I'm going to give Mass at St.
Francis church, about two miles
down the road," replied the
priest.
"Climb in, Father. I'll give you a
lift!" The priest climbed into the
passenger seat, and they
continued down the road.
Suddenly, the driver saw a Man U
supporter walking down the road,
and he instinctively swerved as if
to hit him. But, as usual, he
swerved back onto the road just
in time.
Even though he was certain that
he had missed the guy, he still
heard a loud THUD. not knowing
where the noise came from, he
glanced in his mirrors but still
didn't see anything.
He then remembered the priest,
and he turned to the priest and
said, "sorry Father, I almost hit
that Manchester United
supporter."
"That's OK," replied the priest "I
got him with the door." |

Career Day
It's career day in primary school
where each student talks about
what their dad does. Little Johnny
is last, and finally the teacher
calls on him to talk about his dad.
Johnny comes to the front of the
class.
'My daddy is a dancer at a gay
bar. He takes off his clothes for
other men, and if they pay him
enough money, he goes into the
alley and performs sexual acts on
them.'
The teacher is shocked, and she
calls for an early recess for the
rest of the class. She sits down
with Johnny and asks him if this is
really true about his dad.
Johnny says; 'No, but I was too
embarrassed to say he played for
Manchester United.' |
