holusormi:The 5s was a faithful servant, amazing piece. Battery life on the 6 is a lot better even on 4G, guess that has to do with the extra real estate that comes with the larger size. Never really maxed out the battery on cellular data though as I mainly use WiFi. Go for it. |

I expect all the TANOID's and their commander-in-chief to bury their heads like Ostriches again for this one. Goodluck Jonathan should arrest this man, or stand to be arrested with this man. |
Ex-Borno Governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, in secret visit to arms-laden Chad-bound plane detained in Nigeria [img]http://media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2014/09/600x398xGoodluck-and-Modu-sherif.jpg.pagespeed.ic.pWyGDiGjN3.webp[/img] A former governor of Borno State, Ali Modu Sheriff, widely accused of sponsoring Boko Haram insurgents in Nigeria, may be lobbying for the release of the Chad-bound cargo aircraft confiscated in Kano for transporting large consignment of military hardware, PREMIUM TIMES can report today. Sources at the Aminu Kano International Airport, where the plane is currently detained, said Mr. Sheriff visited the Kano airport at about 10 p.m. on Saturday and held discussions with some officials on the possibility of releasing the aircraft. Our sources said on arriving the airport, officials allowed the former governor a secret tour of the aircraft, during which he inspected its consignments. “I was there and I saw him and two airport security officials accompanying him to inspect the plane. I saw the black helicopters and two bullet proof SUVs,” one of our sources said. “I also heard him (Mr. Sheriff) say verbal directive had been given from Abuja for the release of the plane but that authorities of the airport were insisting on written directive.” Mr. Sheriff could not be reached to comment for this story. His known mobile telephone number was switched off for several hours that PREMIUM TIMES called Saturday. He is also yet to reply a text message sent to him. The Manager of the Kano Airport, a Mr. Adamu, told PREMIUM TIMES he is in Abuja and was therefore unaware of Mr. Sheriff’s tour of the detained aircraft. The former Borno governor is a close ally of both the Nigerian president, and the government of Chad – the plane’s final destination. A 2010 Intelligence report by a Nigerian security agency suggested that Mr. Sheriff was personally involved in the recruitment, training and dispatch of Boko Haram fighters, under the full cover of Idris Deby, the Chadian president. Chad is Nigeria’s neighbour. Laying on Nigeria’s northeast shoulder, and sharing long distances of unregulated borders, it is considered a window to safety for Boko Haram fighters. An Australian negotiator engaged by the Nigerian government to bring Boko Haram insurgents to the negotiation table, Stephen Davies, also spoke of how the insurgents named Mr. Sheriff as one of their sponsors during his conversations with the terrorists. Airport officials told PREMIUM TIMES Mr. Sheriff’s verbal pressures to let the plane go was turned down. He was asked to get written permission from “ogas at the top” – authority high up in Abuja – our sources said. After inspecting the plane and holding discussions with local officials, Mr. Sheriff reportedly left for Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city, in a private jet at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday. Security operatives at the Kano Airport had seized the plane when it landed at the facility at about 2a.m. Saturday as a result of technical problems. Crew members of the airplane were immediately detained while investigations continued, officials said. “Security has since been beefed up at the airport in order to ensure proper investigation,” the officials added. The General Manager, Communications, Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, Yakubu Datti, confirmed the seizure of the plane. He said the pilot sought permission to land at the airport after the plane developed problems. “The plane had a technical problem and the pilot sought (for) permission to land at the airport’’, he said. Mr. Datti said security agencies had since commenced investigation into the matter. Security sources told PREMIUM TIMES the plane was travelling to N’djamena, the capital of Chad. PR Nigeria, an agency known for distributing press statements on behalf of the Nigerian military, later circulated a statement saying the aircraft contained “a chopper tucked in it”. “… Intense investigation is ongoing including using diplomatic means to unravel the mission of the aircraft, its origin and destination,” the statement said. This is the third time since 2009 that planes loaded with arms would be arrested in Kano, our correspondent says. The detained planes were later released after investigations. The destination of the latest aircraft has however raised concerns amid increasing worries in Nigeria over Chad’s alleged role in the Boko Haram insurgency plaguing Nigeria’s northeast. The plane and its consignment was initially thought to originate from Russia but the Russian Embassy in Abuja issued a statement denying ownership of the AH-124-100 heavy military transport aircraft. Air cargo experts describe it as one of the biggest serial and strategic heavy lifters in the world. It is intended for the transportation of heavy and oversized cargo and various special-purpose vehicles. Although in commercial use too, the Russian military is beloved to own 14 of the AN-124-100 version of the jumbo cargo jet, manufactured by the Russian Antonov. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/172597-ex-borno-governor-ali-modu-sheriff-secret-visit-arms-laden-chad-bound-plane-detained-nigeria.html |
zlatansomto:Well good luck with that. Try not to embarrass yourself though, as anywhere you find this: www.nairaland.com/attachments/1922477_zhausagirl_jpg_jpegc674c6cf633c2c3e8490a10b3fbdd17a You can also find these: www.nairaland.com/attachments/1589496_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188 www.nairaland.com/attachments/1589594_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188 www.nairaland.com/attachments/1590445_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188 Whether its in the north, east, west or south. Poverty knows no tribe. Britain as i speak, is tackling poverty. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30366020 Be wise. |
ANAMBRA11:Testament of your intellect, attacking the poster instead of the post *smh* |
ANAMBRA11:You irredeemably itinerant gypsies keep regurgitating the tired mantra of "highest illiteracy and poverty rates", yet your kinsmen inhabit the poorest and most run-down areas of northern states in thousands, which is not surprising considering the spate of kidnapping, cannibalism, granny rape and baby factories in red-soiled ala'ibo. I guess it is akpu sense to leave a place with a lower rate of poverty for a place teeming with almajiri's. Its nothing surprising considering some of you have never left your erosion-ravaged one piece of land to see real development in other climes. Until you stop sending Akpan's and Ekaette's to work in our backyards, and all the Okafor's selling fake drugs in Sabon gari leave the arid, boko haram ravaged and backward north, all your anti-arewa rants are as useless as the 'P' in Psychology. Instead of reflecting on the failures of your leaders and resultant underdevelopment of your states, you choose to occupy yourself with a fruitless quest to undermine enviable development strides. Thanks by the way for patronizing Arewa for your hamlet patrolling horses, I hope you don't rape the beasts as well .

This smacks of sensationalism. An 'invisible' barrier that was discovered since 1958, are gases supposed to be visible distinguished professor? |
The fact that the APC boasts of administrators of sterling quality is not lost to the irreversibly clueless supporters of the cataclysmic failure called the PDP, they are just too stuck in the mud of ethnicity and religious bigotry which will consume them like quicksand. The sooner they realize that excellence cannot be suppressed forever, the better for them. Regardless, the wait is almost over for their pay masters as they will soon go and face the hungry faces of Nigerians they have wickedly misruled when the fisherman is kicked back to the creeks in May. |
50calibre:Quite true...even in student bars in cheaper cities like Birmingham, a bottle of regular Henny (not XO) costs £80 (about 25k) minimum and its usual for a party of friends to down 10 easy with no eyebrows raised. These are undergraduates. |
Instead of Edwin Clark and Asari Dog-kubo to call Jonathan's attention to the poverty ravaging his people, they are busy jet-hopping with their drummer boy bellies and building Universities in other nations while their people suffer in debilitating penury. Gen. Buhari cannot allocate N1b to the villa kitchen while these innocent people starve, his conscience will not let him. Not to talk of popping champagne and swallowing caviar while his people struggle for grains of rice. Jonathan will return to face them soon, very soon. Vote for Integrity, Vote for Equity, Vote out Hunger Vote General Buhari for President. |
The ministries are only moving to a different part of Abuja to decongest the centre and attract attention to The Centenary City. Nothing is leaving Abuja. |

An absolute beauty. Posting with one, there's no reason anyone who intends to buy one should be intimidated into not stating his intention, since 'it's a petty possession'. |
noblezone:The present is reality son. |
I have always opined that the post election violence touted by these SaTANists would be initiated by them and not the General or his supporters. Now in the heat of desperation and clear realisation of GJ's dwindling chances, they have thrown all modesty to the wind and the paper tigers are now 'threatening' fire and brimstone if Jonathan loses, mocking our army and beating their tattered, worn out drum of secession. The same things they accused General Buhari of doing. I hope it's the Bakassi Boys and kidnappers that will fight this war they are calling for, with tactical support from their numerous baby factories because those militants have become fat cats after the largesse from the most insurgent and militant friendly government in Nigeria's history. |
No amount of intimidation will deter the truth from being told in bright technicolor. The main weapon in the arsenal of the PDP is propaganda, which many of our progressives here have perforated, shredded and blown to smithereens. Where propaganda fails, violence takes it place, or so it seems in the hollow minds of the soulless ruling party and its apologists. |
Well done Kano Pillars, standing tall among contemporaries. Kwankwaso's 28 car and cash gifts for winning last year must have truly motivated the boys to keep towering above other clubs. The government's donation of sporting equipments and cash valued at N175m to 20 football clubs from each of the 44 local government areas of the state will no doubt help in developing fresh talent, and the game of football in Nigeria. Sai Masu Gida! #APCleadingthepack |

IGBOSON1:My friend, again your logic is flawed. A manager without technical understanding and relevant experience cannot effectively manage an airport, not to talk of an airline because apart from being usurped by technical personnel and inability to compete favorably with better manned organizations, he will also reduce organizational efficiency as a result of excessive dependence on consultants among other factors. The world has moved beyond Taylorism to more dynamic management styles. Your presumption is based on the scientific management model which is obsolete and belongs with the dinosaurs. No wonder our public institutions are rotting by the day. |
We hope Jonathan is taking notes ![]() |
Our wise elders have said when a child falls, he looks forward and cries, but an adult will look back to see what tripped him. Going by the history of our national carriers since 1958, there has been one common denominator - they have always been managed by a number of foreign companies, including British Airways, KLM and South African Airways. The latest pull out by Virgin Airlines that left us with a feeble Air Nigeria buttresses this point. What I would suggest is that we should have an incubation period, during which aggressive training and development of indigenous talent should be pursued, who would understudy other successful indigenous airlines such as Qantas of Australia, and then allowed to replicate the model. Our external partnerships will then be limited to technical partnerships, maintenance and training & development. Management should be purely indigenous for strategic reasons. |
IGBOSON1:Going by this logic, a driver that has distinguished himself on the road can be handed a 747, as he will transfer his excellent credentials to the cockpit. After all he 'acquitted himself creditably' *smh* |
First of all, replace the traffic warden Osita with a technocrat from the aviation industry who can outline current aviation best practices and adapt it to the peculiarities of Nigeria, to give a clearer insight which will guide the determination of the most efficient and effective model for our national carrier. You can't plant beans and expect apples. |
All I can see are saTANists grasping on straws and no credible, convincing rebuttal. The facts have been laid bare for all to see that propaganda is the main weapon in the camp of the PDP. Please impress us with irrefutable facts on how Buhari is not the best thing that can happen to Nigeria in May 2015. Otherwise, keep bleating gibberish and regurgitating old lies in the hope that one will stick in the slippery minds of your misdirected and bigoted co-travelers bent on throwing Nigeria deeper into the abyss of corruption and clueless leadership. |
Tambuwal is too politically sophisticated and legally learned to make careless, uncalculated decisions. The distinguished lawyer knows without a doubt that he is within the confines of the constitution and still has the support of the house, and it's left for the courts to make any required interpretations, with strong emphasis on preceding cases. Until then, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal (CFR) remains the Speaker of the House of Representatives till his tenure expiration date when he will resume as the Executive Governor of Sokoto State. Siddon well sir. |
Miyetti Allah (Fulani Rearers) donated N5m? I laugh in fulfulde, that singular entry has rubbished the whole list. Are these not the same people TANoids claimed will deliver 23m votes for jona? The same people Jona is trying to annihilate by stopping them from grazing which is the source of their livelihood? These propagandists are dumber than a bowl of popcorn |
A VERY LARGE OAK was uprooted by the wind and thrown across a stream. It fell among some Reeds (tall water grasses), which it thus addressed: "I wonder how you, who are so light and weak, are not entirely crushed by these strong winds." They replied, "You fight and contend with the wind, and consequently you are destroyed; while we on the contrary bend before the least breath of air, and therefore remain unbroken, and escape." -Aesop Moral of the story: "Stoop to conquer" |
I love the theme song: Sweep corruption away...sweep, sweep, sweep, sweep! |
