Politics / Massage From Otunba Dino Melaye To All Nigerians by RealYaks: 8:01am On Mar 05, 2015
" Fellow citizens,
I address you once again in the course of our
nation's history. I am disillusioned, disenchanted,
disturbed and disorganized by the magnitude and
intensity of corruption exhibited by the Jonathan's
administration. I am bold to say without
reservations that the government of Gooduck Ebele
Jonathan is the most corrupt in the history of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria. I give you reasons why
any Nigeria who has got blood flowing through his
vains and not kerosine should not commit the
satanic sacrilage of voting for Jonathan or the
PDP. These economic cankaworms, financial
scavengers and national devourers have succeeded
in rewinding our national life by 20 years. The
anointing of Deziani Alision Madueke(Minister Of
Petroleum) by president Jonathan as the
untouchable, uncrowned Prime Minister of Nigeria
elucidates the degree of the looting of national
treasury. This massager of Mr president (Deziani)
has been indicted by six(6) reports namely:
1- The Farouk Lawal Report
2- The Senate Report on Subsidy
3- KPMG Report on the oil sector
4- The Aik Imuokhode Report
5- The Ribadu Report
6- The NEITI Report
Despite all these indictments, the darling favourite
of Mr president is every wednesday immaculately
attired and cosmopolitantly fashioned in
DIAMONDS attending the Federal Executive Council
Meeting under the watchful eyes of an unperturbed
and conquered president. Suffice me therefore to
explain why the almighty petroleum ministry under
Jonathan have niether minister of state or Special
Adviser. FCT ministry as small as it is have a
Minister of State. The same petroleum ministry
under president Obasanjo had four(4) ministers
namely:
The substantive Minister, the Minister of State,
Minister of State Gas and Minister of State Energy.
Yet with a special Adviser ( Late Alhaji Rilwan
Lukman) today, Deziani is the alfa and omega in
the petroleum industry and the national treasurer of
PDP and the presidential campaign. Now with this
massive inredeemable and record breaking looting
of our common patrimony, who ia that sane
Nigerian who support a man who on national TV
defended his demented proposition that stealing is
not corruption? Nigerians must come out of thier
gullible cocoons and operate in an active mileau.
Say NO to the man who meet dollar at #119 and
today is #225. Vote out the man who petrol at #65
and is today sold for over #90. Resist the party
that says 16 is great than 19. Sweep out the man
who granted clemency to corrupt Nigerians and
villified the honest. In 2010, lagos-Abuja by air is
#15,000, today is #35,000 by Arik. Femi
Fanikayode, Reuben Abati and Doyin Okupe should
all learn from the experience of Labaran Maku. No
amount of pacakaging, window dressing, boju-boju
and bolekaja politics will redeem or sell rotten
eggs. Good rediance to bad rubbish. Mr president,
Otuoke by road, safe journey." Otunba Dino Melaye

Politics / Bauchi Youth Stone Fct Minister, Others At Pdp Presidential Rally In Bauchi.. by RealYaks: 6:31pm On Jan 22, 2015
Bauchi Youths Stone Minister, Others at
Jonathan’s Rally in Bauchi
Punch
January 22, 2015
There was pandemonium on Thursday at the
Ibrahim Babangida Square, Venue of the Peoples
Democratic Party presidential campaign rally in
Bauchi as angry youths pelted dignitaries at the
event with dangerous objects like hammer, stones
and slippers among other things.
The youths, whose source of grievances could not
be immediately ascertained, destroyed some of the
canopies and plastic chairs.
The ‘supporters’, who had, before the arrival of
President Goodluck Jonathan and his entourage,
chanted solidarity songs for the President and the
PDP and marched round the venue with their
drums and placards with the President’s picture,
became unruly during the programme and began
pelting dignitaries on the stand.
Security operatives had a tough time dispersing the
restless supporters, who had stormed the square in
large in number.
A similar incident occurred on Monday when
Governor Isa Yuguda and other dignitaries were
stoned at the PDP governorship campaign rally at
the Darazo mini-stadium by angry youths believed
to be supporters of the
opposition All Progressives Congress.
The FCT Minister, Senator Bala Mohammed, was
pelted with bottled and sachet water while he was
making his speech and pleading with the people of
the state to vote for and support Jonathan and the
PDP during next month’s general elections.
Other dignitaries, who were on the stand with the
FCT minister while he was making his speech,
were also stoned. Others bent down to avoid being
hit by any of the missiles.
The minister paused for some seconds to wipe off
water from his face.
Mohammed called on the President and other
dignitaries to ignore the ugly turn of events,
alleging that it was the handwork of the
opposition.
“Fellow supporters of PDP, lets ignore what is
happening. This is politics. It is the handwork of
those who are bent on destroying politics in
Nigeria,” he added.
When he shouted, “Nigeria”, the crowd shouted
back “sai Buhari”, “sai Baba Buhari”, others
chanted “Bama yi,” “Bama yi”, meaning we don’t
support PDP.
All throughout the rally, which was very brief,
youths chanted their support for the opposition
APC presidential candidate, Maj. Gen Muhammad
Buhari, saying “Nigeria, sai Buhari.”

What Can You Reflect on This?
Politics / BUHARI Wrote This On His Facebook Account A Moment Ago by RealYaks: 4:37pm On Jan 19, 2015
Good afternoon, my friends. As we continue our
relentless pace campaigning for # Change this
week, let’s reflect on the past few weeks -GMB
I have become seriously disturbed by the volume of
falsehood and desperation from the opposition
campaign of the PDP.
I clearly underrated the panic and lack of integrity
that leads people to tell barefaced lies, and must
confess, it continues to confound me.
I have run for office before, but I have consistently
done so without desperation or anger, because
elections are not war.
Why should candidates tell so many frantic lies in
order to win elections, if truly their purpose is to
‘transform’ the lives of our people?
It is a tragedy to see the ruling party focus on
pettiness and lies; rumours of cancer, foreign
treatment, and certificates they know exist.
Hundreds, perhaps thousands of Nigerians died in
# Baga days ago. Our unemployment numbers are
rising.
The businesses of our enterprising youth are being
killed by lack of access to finance and poor
economic policies.
This campaign should be about those issues. It
should be about today and the future; about
securing Nigerian lives and Nigerian land.
The desperation is beyond my understanding.
# ThingsMustChange
What is this obsession with lies? What is this
obsession with pettiness? What is this obsession
with threats and attacks?
All of us, citizens and voters need to ask ourselves
– why is our President so desperate?
How can the President of this country be talking
about remembering phone numbers and coup
speeches?
How can his campaign be talking about dead ex-
leaders, jogging around the stadium and outright
lies about my health?
How can a President who has led this country for
six years be unable to run on his own record and
his achievements?
Where is his fabled calm, where is his reserve,
where is his composure? Why is he so ruffled?
Why is he so frustrated and afraid?
We should be deeply worried that a President who
called for calm during governorship elections has
now lost his cool in his own elections.
Our President and his allies must remember that
he is not only a candidate for office; he is the
President of Nigeria.
We do not have a disinformation or propaganda
wing in our campaign. We have no need to waste
time in driving petty attacks.
We have not spoken about the President's family,
his health, his religion, his ethnic group, or his
phone number.
We are concerned only about his record – has he
secured Nigeria? Has he fought corruption? Has he
truly grown the economy so it can work?
Do our children find it easy to get jobs? Do our
sisters and brothers find it easy to set up and
sustain their businesses?
Can our president keep us safe when we travel to
any part of this country? Is your life better today
than it was six years ago?
We have only presented our record – how we
fought insurgencies, how we stabilized the Naira,
how we tackled corruption.
We have presented our vision and plans – through
our manifesto (available on http://
www.thisisbuhari.com ) and our town hall
meetings.
We are lucky to have in this election two people
who have led this country. I am proud to present
our record of solutions and effectiveness.
Imagine the accelerated growth we can now
achieve in a democracy –which the world has seen
to be the most effective way of governing nations.
Let us focus on those issues, please. Elections are
not war. February 14 is not about politicians. It is
about our country.
I am appealing to you: the damage to this country
is great. The level of unemployment and insecurity
is intolerable, worsened by corruption.
Therefore, I shall refuse to indulge the smear
campaign. I refuse to allow them take away the
focus from the issues that concern you.
We insist on a campaign of hope, change and the
future. This election is about big, important issues.
We refuse to play it small.
Join us as we continue the relentless pace of our
rallies in Minna and Kaduna today. #Change is
finally here, my friends.

Sports / Re: The Truth About The Early 1900s Nigeria Vs India Match (1 - 99)!!! (photo) by RealYaks: 11:49am On Jan 15, 2015
History of the India
national football team
The history of the India national football team
dates back to the 1930s. They have never won
the World Cup, but qualified for one in 1950 ,
although they withdrew. They have had zero
entries in the tournament from 1950 onwards.
India have never won the final of the Asian
Championship but made the Final in the 1964
AFC Asian Cup . They have only made three
appearances since.
1930–1970
Indian teams started touring Australia, Japan,
Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand in the late
1930s. Soon after the success of several
Indian football clubs, the All India Football
Federation (AIFF) was formed in 1937. The
1948 London Olympics was India's first major
international tournament, where a
predominately barefooted Indian team lost 2–1
to France , failing to convert two penalties. The
Indian team was greeted and appreciated by
the crowd for their sporting manner. [1]
India qualified by default for the 1950 FIFA
World Cup finals as a result of the withdrawal
of all of their scheduled opponents. But the
governing body AIFF decided against going to
the World Cup, being unable to understand the
importance of the event at that time. Reasons
shown by the AIFF included the cost of travel
(despite the fact that FIFA agreed to bear a
major part of the travel expenses) [2] lack of
practice time, team selection issues and
valuing the Olympics over the FIFA World Cup.
[3]
Although FIFA imposed a rule banning barefoot
play following the 1948 Olympics[4][5] where
India had played barefoot, the popular belief
that the Indian team refused to play because
they were not allowed to play barefoot is not
entirely true, according to the then Indian
captain Shailen Manna , it was just a story to
cover up the disastrous decision of the AIFF.[2]
The team has never since come close to
qualifying for the World Cup. [6]
The period from 1951 to 1962 is considered
the golden era in Indian football. Under the
tutelage of legendary Syed Abdul Rahim[7]
India became the best team in Asia. The
Indian team started the 1950s with their
triumph in the 1951 Asian Games which they
hosted. India beat both Indonesia and
Afghanistan 3–0 to reach the final where they
beat Iran 1–0. [8][9] In 1952, India continued
their form by winning the Colombo
Quadrangular Cup held in Sri Lanka .[10]
Later that year they went on to participate in
the 1952 Olympics, but lost 10–1 to
Yugoslavia . As four years earlier, many of the
team played without boots. [11] After the result
AIFF immediately made it mandatory to wear
boots. [1]
India also won three further editions of the
Quadrangular Cup Colombo Cup, which were
held in Burma , Calcutta and Dhaka in 1953,
1954 and 1955 respectively. [12] India then
went on to finish second in the 1954 Asian
Games held in Manila .[13]
At the 1956 Olympic Games they finished
fourth, which is regarded as one of finest
achievements in Indian football. India first met
hosts Australia , winning 4–2 with Neville
D'Souza becoming the first Asian to score a
hatrick in the Olympics and also making India
the first Asian team to reach the Olympic
semi-finals. They lost 4–1 to Yugoslavia , and
lost the third place play-off match 3–0 to
Bulgaria .[14]
India later participated in the 1958 Asian
Games in Tokyo where they finished fourth, [15]
and the Merdeka Cup 1959 in Malaysia
finishing second. [16]
India started off 1960 with Asian Cup qualifiers
in which they failed to qualify.[17] India went
on to win the 1962 Asian Games where they
beat South Korea 2–1 in the final, [18] and two
years later finished second in the Asian Cup
which was held in round-robin format. [19]
India played in the Merdeka Cup in 1964, 1965
and 1966 where they finished 2nd, 3rd and 3rd
respectively. [12]
India later played in the Asian Games in 1966
in Bangkok but were eliminated in first round.
[20] India took third place in the 1970 Asian
Games , beating Japan 1–0 in the third place,
play-off [21] but have failed to qualify for other
major tournaments, other than as host, only
once since that time.
1971–2000
Failure in a series of qualification tournaments
meant that the next time India reach a
quarter-final stage was as host in the 1982
Asian Games .[22]
Indian Team during Asian Cup
2007 Qualifiers
In 1984 India qualified for the Asian Cup again,
[23] but failed to make any impact. [24] India
won gold medals in the SAF Games of both
1984 (in Dhaka) and 1987 ( Calcutta ). They
won the inaugural SAARC Cup in 1993 in
Lahore , and finished runner-up in Colombo two
years later. By 1997 the competition had been
renamed as the SAFF Cup, and India won it in
both 1997 and 1999 edition, when they hosted
it in Goa.[12]
2000–2010
Although India failed to qualify for the 2004
Asian Cup, the senior team shone in a silver
medal-winning performance in the inaugural
Afro Asian Games, with victories over Rwanda
and Zimbabwe (then 85 places ahead of India
in the world rankings) along the way, losing
the final by just 1–0 to Uzbekistan .[25]
As a result, Indian football has steadily earned
greater recognition and respect, both within the
country and abroad. In November 2003,
Stephen was named AFC Manager of the
Month. [25]
India could not do much not when they lost to
Pakistan and Bangladesh in the 2003 SAFF
Cup and defeats in the 2006 World Cup
qualifiers meant Stephen Constantine was
sacked. [25] The LG Cup win in Vietnam under
Stephen Constantine was one of the few bright
spots in the early part of the 2000s. It was
India's first victory in a football tournament
outside the subcontinent after 1974. India
defeated hosts Vietnam 3–2 in the final despite
trailing 2–0 after 30 minutes. [26]
In 2005 Syed Nayeemuddin was appointed as
India coach but he was sacked the following
year after heavy defeats in 2007 AFC Asian
Cup qualifiers. Bob Houghton was later
appointed coach of team in 2006.
2007 ONGC Nehru Cup India vs
Syria
His appointment saw a general progress in
India’s performances crowned by victory in
2007 Nehru Cup in August 2007. Houghton led
India to the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup title as
they beat Tajikistan 4–1 in August 2008.

Politics / Re: 7 Things Fr. Mbaka Got Absolutely Wrong by RealYaks: 5:29pm On Jan 03, 2015
Mr. Mbaka gave this sermon to
thousands of parishioners at his
Adoration Prayer Ground in Enugu,
Thursday, saying President Jonathan had
failed to stem the tide of insecurity and
corruption in the country.
In the year 2014, we had a lot of
bloodshed in this country. People were
dying like rats without anybody asking
about them. This country suffered a lot
of blood experience. Many of us
witnessed that people were in tears. Just
like the ancient world, the year 2014, the
4 in it had the queen in it, which had to
do with death. Our leaders failedus with
reckless abandon and nobody asked
them question.
The so-called democracy was a hidden
autocracy. It was deceptive and
questionable quack miler. Nigerians
suffered hunger unnecessarily. We heard
about oil subsidy being removed and
added, whatever be(is) their jargon,
nobody understood them. We heard
about minimum wage, the civil servant
suffered, the minimum wage was not
paid and we were all calm. In 2015,
Nigerians will not be calm again (shouts
of AMEN!).
We need change. Whatever it will be, let
it be. This is my golden message to my
beloved country. What actually is
happening (Ogini nne me?). The
multitude of our youths, the quality
young men, quality young women,
brilliants youths but nobody has plans
for any of you. Our so-called leaders
should come and apologize. In 2015, it
shall not continue like that (shouts of
AMEN).
By the grace of God, by the power of the
Holy Spirit, we are announcing
spiritually, change! 2015 should not be a
year of any hooligan maneuvering to
hijack power. This is our New Year
message. Listen, when you go home, tell
anybody you see that from the oracle of
the Holy Spirit, we are announcing
change (AMEN). Can somebody help me
to shout change (shouts of change by the
congregation) in Jesus holy name.
Look at what it’s like, as I’m yet to bless
your families, bless your industries, bless
your destinies. Come 2015, your plans
are blessed, your vision are blessed, your
locomotive society are blessed. I cover
this year with the blood of Jesus. I seal
this year with the blood of Jesus.
My message is in two branches (folds).
Number one branch, the theme of this
first message to my fellow countrymen is
from good luck to bad luck. Once upon a
time, the whole countrymen were crying
for a leader who will help us move
forward with our economy, have an
authentic democracy, give our
unemployed youths jobs, enable our
power to be steady, who will
industrialize Nigerians, who will
encourage mass education and
agriculturalize Nigeria. Having in view
that oil will soon drop, give us security
in a maximum level. By the grace of God,
there emerged a Goodluck, all of us were
happy, the Goodluck met Yar’ Adua and
Yar’ Adua died. May the Holy Spirit help
me as I utter this message, I know many
will misunderstand it, but it will stand
the test of time and you will know I’m
speaking the truth.
The Goodluck met Yar’Adua and
Yar’Adua died. Before you know it, the
Goodluck met our oil and the oil had a
bad luck and poured away, before we
knew it, the Goodluck met our naira, our
naira had a bad luck. Where are we
going? What is the fate of this country?
Shall we continue like this, we need
change (shout of change from the
congregation).
As I’m speaking with you, most of our
civil servants did not celebrate their
Christmas. The Christmas season that
should be a Goodluck time became a bad
luck time for our Nigerians forgetting
that very soon, from 3rd January, the
children will go back to school and the
parent are going to pay school fees.
From where? Are they going to use their
urine to pay? (Shout of NO from the
congregation). But where is the good
water even if they are going to use their
urine. Are they going to use their stool to
pay the school fees of their children?
(Shout of NO from the congregation).
You have to eat well to defecate.
What is the fate of our children? Tears
fill my eyes when I see our young
graduates hoping and walking our
streets. What is the meaning of
kidnapping? Kidnapping is the grandson
of unemployment. Boko Haram is a
grand great child of the same
unemployment, mass looting, and poor
governance.
I’m not saying that Goodluck is a bad
man. He is a good man. But he cannot
lead Nigeria. As things stand right now,
from the oracle of the Holy Spirit,
Jonathan should honourably resign
quietly and let Nigeria be. The destiny of
Nigeria is greater than Goodluck
Jonathan. The Goodluck in Jonathan has
become a bad luck to Nigerians.
Whatever brought him in should send
him back and let Nigeria be.
By this time in few months to come,
many are going to lose their jobs and
there is no alternative. During election,
Jonathan will answer Azikiwe, Ebele and
become an Igbo man and after election,
the Ebele, the Azikiwe and Goodluck will
vanish from his identity. Who is fooling
who actually?
Look at our federal roads, we are not
even asking for new ones, roads built by
Buhari and Babangidas — the so called
Hausa people— cannot be maintained.
Follow Enugu here to Onitsha, children
born some years ago do not know that
there was a lane along the other side of
Isiagwu and we are all saying continue.
The continuity of Jonathan means
disaster to Nigeria.
We need change. May the Holy Spirit
help me to vocalize what he has shown
to me while I was waiting on him to give
me a message for my people? I’m
worried about the future of you my
children. Go to school, go to school,
mention any government school
functioning in Nigeria now? Our schools
are dilapidated. Nigeria is like an egg
about to break in the hands of Jonathan
Goodluck and we cannot allow it to
happen. It is so unfortunate that pastors
are becoming vultures around the
president. Pastors are becoming hawks
around him, eating the porridge of Jacob
and selling their prophetic rights. And
anointing is being merchandised in Aso
Rock, carrying our nairas, turning it to
dollars and carrying it in jets moving out
of the country.
Listen, this is the voice on the pulpit: all
these men of God, who are telling
Jonathan to continue because they are
benefitting one thing or the other, you
should question your apostolic, prophetic
anointing. What the Bible say is that
Samson did not know that the Holy Spirit
had left him. Let them watch if the Holy
Spirit is still in them.
Listen, they will begin to tell us this one
is a Christian the other one is a Muslim.
I don’t believe in that. Who is a
Christian more than Judas? Did Judas not
betray Jesus? Judas was not just a
Christian, he was not just a mere apostle,
he was a super apostle like a cardinal
but at a time he messed up and Bible
says his office, let another take. That is
the normal thing.
The way Nigeria is going right now, the
office of Goodluck Jonathan let another
take. I’m not campaigning for anybody.
I’m filled with tears over what is
happening in Nigeria. Some of us who
have nongovernmental organisations
funding charity, I know what I’m
suffering. The more they are looting our
resources, the more they are rending you
unemployed, the more some of us suffer
the more. If I have been paying for the
school fees of 500 people, it would now
jack up to 3000, or more.
What the government should do,
individuals are struggling to achieve.
When there is no road, no power, all this
fake promises… where is the power?
That Onitsha Bridge, has it now been
built? No. After 6 years, and Goodluck
has what it takes to do whatever. He
surrounded himself with hooligans. By
the time he comes down, he won’t have
anybody to work with. He played himself
into the hands of hooligans.
My interest is about the wellness of this
country. Nigeria must survive what we
are passing through by the help of God.
The same God who saved us from Ebola
will save us from this bad luck season
(shouts of AMEN from the congregation).
Look at it, there was a time there was an
argument about pension fund – such
billions. Who is talking about it now?
Billions and we were hearing it… from
excess crude oil money, where is the
impact of the excess crude oil money?
Now from oil boom, it has met a bad
luck; it’s now oil doom. If my father will
be my leader and my siblings will all
die, let a stranger be my leader and let
my family be. All I’m trying to tell you is
that we have not entered into any
covenant with anybody.
Last time, the First Lady came here. We
are not partisan; we welcomed her. We
did a spiritual drama here. Lifted four
birds to fly up, the main one that should
fly up refused to go. I did everything
possible and that one is the healthiest of
them all but refused to fly and the spirit
of God said, don’t disturb him.
When God rejected Saul, David took
over. Let me tell you, in the history of
Nigeria, we have never experience
bloodshed as we have in the time of
Goodluck. If Goodluck means bloodshed
for Nigerians are you waiting until your
own blood is shed? (shouts of No from
the congregation).
We need change, however God will do it.
Look at the insecurity if you go to the
northern part of Nigeria.
My fellow priest, my fellow pastors,
don’t just stand up to attack this
message, because you have mouth. Think
well before you put your mouth, the
voice is beyond your own contribution.
Listen, are you waiting for your own
church to be bombed before you speak
out? If you go to Maiduguri, some
parishes have closed down. Go to
Potiskum. People no longer go to church
on Sundays in many parts of this
country. Now imagine a scenario where
a president cannot fight a simple
insurgence. This is not an external
country attack o. It is not like another
country invaded Nigeria. It is an intra
distraction. And many of us are claiming
that it was because Buhari said that he
was going to make Jonathan’s
government ungovernable. Listen, let’s
assume Buhari said something like that,
even though it’s not Buhari who said it.
So if you are the president and
somebody say something like that, will
you not arrest such a person?

Jokes Etc / Be Wise, Don't Be Foul by RealYaks: 11:29am On Dec 08, 2014
FUNNY TIME!
An Edo Man invited his friends for his mother's
burial. After lowering the coffin, the family
put yam, rice, meat etc, into the grave in line with
tradition.
A Hausa Man asked why? The Edo man smiled
and said, "According to our
tradition, the dead go on a long journey and need
all the food items they can get".
The Igbo man dropped N100,000 inside and said,
"When the food finish, buy
more".
The Yoruba man dropped N50,000 and said, "Add
this incase it's not enough."
The Hausa man smiled and brought out his cheque
book and wrote a cheque of
N200,000, dropped it in the coffin and took the
N150,000 notes as change, then said "Dan uwa,
withdraw it when you reach dia kaji?.. It is going
to be a dangerous journey we don't know how
many robbers are out there and after all we are in
a cashless economy. Travel well oh!
Pwahahahaha...!
