Liverpool would have been the best club for him.

Doubt that. Liverpool's game remains old English. Lots of long balls and movement at dizzying pace. Kelechi's game appears more Continental, technical. Only Arsenal and City play that brand and with Guardiola coming he will thrive under him.

That is if Siasia doesn't have one of his mental breakdowns.

Don't worry your girlfriend will also return double double.

Oh. DSTV is the most disgusting. Have to pay Premium to watch only Sky, CNN, SS3, History, Discovery, CI. What a waste.

7 hrs. 9pm to 4am on operations (main), 4 hrs , Midnight to 4am in emergencies, 9 hrs. 9pm to 6am standoff. I can't play with my health or exchange it for the whole gold in Fort Knox.

Role model of whom, to whom....

HOUSE IS PERISHABLE AS THE MUD HOUSES OF YESTER YEARS WERE THE BEST ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN OF THAT TIME.

BE WARNED!!!

Couldn't have said it better. Except you were a Michael Jackson, an Elvis Presley or a Prince, property becomes so liquid that it can be lost so easily without an appreciable impact in the life of anyone.

Plane runs into stray cows in Port Harcourt • 196
passengers escape death


Wednesday, July 06, 2005 - Soni Daniel,Akin Olukunle and
Seto Olatuyi

An Air France aircraft with 196 passengers on board ran
into stray cows on the runway of the Port Harcourt
International Airport as it touched down on Wednesday
morning.

The Airbus 330 marked F-GZCF flew in from France.
There was no loss of life or injury.
Seven of the stray cows were however killed by the plane,
forcing the authorities to close the airport for about five
hours.

There was no word about the whereabouts of the herdsman.
It was gathered that it took officials of the Federal Airports
Authority of Nigeria about three hours to round up the
surviving cows and clear the runway of debris before flights
resumed at about 12 noon.

A spokesperson for Air France, Mrs. Moyo Areola, confirmed
to journalists that none of the passengers was wounded.
Areola said, “There were cows on the runway, but the
aircraft landed safely. The passengers have all
disembarked. We are probably not going to fly out today
until we are sure the plane is not damaged.

“It is a puzzle. We are trying to figure out how the animals
got to the place.”
The airline, in a statement made available to our
correspondent at about 8pm, said a mechanical team from
Paris was on its way to Port Harcourt to further certify the
safety of the aircraft.

“The statement read, “While landing at 04.30am local time
this morning (Wednesday) in Port Harcourt, our aircraft
carrying 196 passengers collided with some cattle that were
crossing the tarmac. No passenger or crew was injured.
“The aircraft taxied safely to the gate on time at 04.34am
local time. The aircraft is presently on ground for safety
reasons and will not be flown until all necessary safety
precautions have been taken.

People who have not driven on the Interstate will be the ones to ask how can a herd of cattle cause an accident. I personally have had near misses even in urban setups and heard several tire shreiks. Yes there is mass hysteria about the fulani at present but its because it has reached a head. Link up to the FRSC and let them tell you what menace straying animals cause on the highway. A fully laden fuel truck will as a matter of fact, crash trying to evade them. And the report made it clear that the fire was caused by the hot wheel of an SUV running into the spill the firemen were trying to flush and the main victims were in a bus behind the SUV. I think the sequence of events is clear enough. Cattle have no business in the vicinity of a high speed motorway and the FRSC had better add that to their safety agenda to halt the carnage.

Most Nigerians and their penchant for reaping where they didn't sow. Don't tell me it's poverty, this is pure greed; inordinate quest amongst most Nigerians to take without adding value. Why are you scooping spilled fuel that does not belong to you when you know that you can get burnt to ashes??
I was caught up in Accra morning traffic, a friend wanted to buy Wrigleys gum from a street hawker and he only had $1 bills, he grabbed one pack from the hawker's tray and handed him $1 instead of 1Cedi...($1=1.5cedis) . He couldn't find any change, then apologized and wanted to give us back our money in an exchange for his pack of gum. We asked him to keep the money..
It then struck me to run a social experiment in Lagos traffic. At first we gave street hawkers N1000 for a N150-200 item, none brought back any change, instead they would switch lanes to completely go out of our sight.
There is a Shylock mentality amongst most Nigerians; they think that almost everyone who seems well off must have stolen from the system, therefore, it's their turn to get a pound of flesh from the person.

Have I not told you corruption is in our DNA and that we cannot just vote it out as happened last year at the polls.

Then he must be prepared to move every single one of his relations out of Nigeria or risk putting them in grave danger.

Then the fellow will sit in one church or misque oifting 'holy' hands to God and making the loudest noise.....

Why not create a special section with a paid web key, strictly for adults. Then you will be making a bit more money albeit with censored exposure.

Not all good deeds yield desired results but good people will always live in our hearts. People are becoming more aware of egregious acts of Nigeria political class.

Thank God for this current hardship - we are learning a lot and our well-being shall guide our future actions. A leader that is not ready to be accountable to the people will be rewarded accordingly.

There are lots of other ways of demanding accountability than ordering ones private number. This is just stupid. He has 24 hrs just like you do and a very tasking schedule which people subscribe into and not just randomly. Everyone I know schedules his calls except for emergencies thoughtless of the security risk you expose him to from anything between cloners and assailants who can track his movements and position via his phones. It is not wise. Demand regular townhalls, media briefings and other public appearances and interactions not this rubbish. If anything adverse happens to them on occasion and can be traced to this expose, SR is in for it. They will be held complicit.

No one messes with the USA and goes free they've got the best Military strike force and security agency in the world

When it comes to security MOSSAD beats them hands down. A lot of intel they use in the mid east and gulf comes from them. Moreover they are tops in electronics, cyber intrusion and remote surveillance. They are few but everywhere.

^^ The herdsmen asked for it. Since their dullardic grand patron don't want to do anything about it, Let citizens take matters into their hands.

On a second thought, I just checked the source, This news is coming from Tinubu's media outfit (thenations), It could be propaganda to get public sympathy for the heartless herdsmen.

Please let us not lose our humanity, politicise or trivalise things. This is a smouldering powder keg that could easily destroy this country with all its citizens in it. Far more mundane issues have thrown other nations into the fiery pit of civil war. That we have tolerated this tragedy as a nation so far should not be taken for granted.

Unending tales of skanks and scallywags. Provided you pay your taxes, carry on.

When we said this corruption thing was a waste of time they thought we were joking. Next is to turn on their budgets and repay those who have given them 'accomodation advance'. I know 2 or 3 on that watch list.

nigeriancritic1:
I once said it that Buhari is a frugal man and he will take us all along with him.

You just don't seem to get it. Its like you fail to realise why he walked out. The problem this man has like some Nigerians do is a failure to come to terms with what they are. Like a parent who says I will not permit you to do this and then leaves without explanation, without reasoning. He is indirectly saying, go get if from your mother, brothers, boyfriend, etc. He knows these people just pretend to sit at meet but in themselves are pure blooded Nigerians. He knows they will 'find' that 20million but doesn't want to be a part of it. I'm really sorry but the only people who can fix Nigeria is Nigerians.

1984 reloading. Not very wise. Then it was the khaki, lanyard and red necks, today it is the agbada, gele and neck tie. The truth is if he will not let them express their nature and have their way, they will sabotage him. There is no way to seperate corruption from the Nigerian. The average Nigerian is feudal, selfish and greedy. You can only manage him while exploiting his weaknesses to succeed. But to tie him down in austerity is just a pipe dream. Önce again. Which one of the MILADS or Ministers that served in 1983/4 was/is not a billionaire. Abeg let them be. You think they are following you because of salary?

You sure the thing didn't snag you. Adrenalin may have covered the strike if it is a mamba. Better get help fast at yournlocal health care centre. If you reside in the middle belt anti venom should not be a big deal.

Hmmm....when it rains, it pours.

And some want the gay thing legalised knowing just how Nigerians excel in negativity. Even the General Overseers of Sodom will be stunned.

They are free to stay at my place and I won't charge a cent in the spirit of change....

tommykiwi:
Have been observing DAT too...Well if dey don't celebrate him when he score...we here in Naija is always celebrating with him when he scores.

Oga leave that matter. Keshi never used him, he sat on the bench through the Manu Garba U21 debacle. Oliseh ignored him. Even Siasia did not play him return leg after his shot on goal made the first leg goal against Egypt. It is clear no one home and abroad likes him. Could it be some recurring, behind the scene dressing room occurence we the public are not privy to.

All the pipo that said Photoshop are concrete fools

Normal process of denial that precedes an all out disaster. I have been emphasizing countless times, only restructuring can save Nigeria.

BlackBaron:
I'd say start grooming the next presidential candidates years before elections in order to know their policies and what they'll bring to the table

Too many times we have leaders who I think are out of their depths regarding leading a country.

What results are faulty leadership who know very little to nothing and fail to understand deeply how to steer the ship.

I think this is a great idea but it will only work in a true democracy, not the one we have right now driven by fear and intimidation. Let the future leaders stand up to be counted and let them lay out their plans, parliamentry style to tackle specific issues into detail and let us weigh them.

I tell you what good this will do. First it will make a technocrat out of a career politician since it is virtually impossible to elect technocrats but more importantly it will make them accountable and more honest because we will hold them to their words.

Isn't it clear that Buhari's failure to debate or even townhall in the lead up is a major blunder. That his lieutenants who spoke on his behalf have been disavowed, shut up or are quiverring in a dark, quiet corner? When we say democracy we also mean responsibility, of leadership to be tested and tried before elected. Every mercedes benz out of the factory is rigorously tested before the showroom. That is the key to their success. They do not just sit down and depend on the quality of their 1983 models. For in every endeavour in life you are only as good as your present performance. This is what we should demand of leadership, current solutions to present challenges.

2dugged:
so the presidency can be this swift to respond to accusations?

Believe me, they do hear swiftly. Just that in this case it came from someone who's bailing ship and being one of the cruise attendants, it hurts that much. But expect more vocalists in bass and tenor as the months go by. Next date; May 29th. They will be sharing helmets and flak jackets in Aso Rock that day....the best days of the APC are long gone.

U b big man naa. Me I no dey power my gen again as it is no longer eazy to feed my family of 5, i.e. Me, my wife, maid n 2 kids n my mum is there complaining dat we're not having more kids.

More kids? This is an era of change. And that means change in family sizes too. In the west it is just two due to the same reasons, economy and they even have a functional social safety net.

SeverusSnape:
When we spoke against the loan, Zombies came for our jugular. When Fayose spoke against it, they, like the biblical pharisees, Called for his crucifixion. Can you all see that other eminent citizens are speaking up?

By the way, Is falana planning to join the wailers club??... No way!, No more admittance. If the Lagos state chairman of our great association should surreptitiously give him that form, let him get ready for disciplinary actions. Falana should remain in his zombie coven.

Nawa for you. The report is clear that it is because of the wanton theft and squandermania (c. Sani Abacha on the IBB government) perp. by the past PDP government that has led us down this path. The proven liability of this government only is that it has so far been unable to retrieve a farthing or lock any bird in a cage. So the hunter goes a borrowing instead of bringing game home.

Hahahaha....of course its funny. What the guys at Disney spend thousands to do. Don't worry the next 'Star Wars' episode is in the making. You'll get a call.

This government is an establishment one and you will not see any fundamental change in the status quo. Since our focus is primarily on corruption, I don't undrrstand why anyone should be complaining.

Sorry to say so. He gets your number....then he gets your house ....then your siblings ....then your mum ....and all this while you couldn't stop or avoid the snowball of cold, hard tragedy hurtling towards you. Hmmm. All we can say is sorry and learn from this tragedy.

If you donot want a thing be bold to say no. And the earlier the better. Donot play around with bacteria and viruses, exterminate them swiftly.

The concept of friendship is overrated. 95% of them turn up sour. It is far better to be an island for most who donot have the tools to handle the deceit of men.

Finally, there must be inter-personal respect within families. If parents cannot equip children to succeed then they should not pressure them to. You cannot reap where you did not sow. Conversely, if children cannot organise themselves they should not drag their parents and siblings into unnecessary tragedies out of what they have learnt and have come to be themselves.
