georjay: na MTN go lose customer pass oooo

thelastPope: Dont mind the ACN. They are only good at talking trash. When they went on rampage and denigrated and insulted the late sage's wife, HID Awolowo, they didnt think it will have consequences? Some fools came on here to support the Tinubu madness. Now they will have to live with the backlash. It is very lame to blame all their problems on GEJ. Very petty.

They forgot that they only got overwhelming votes in Lagos and Osun during the last election. So their propaganda that PDP and other parties are no longer relevant in the southwest is nothing but lies. They will surely loose Oyo and Ogun in the next election. Ekiti will be a tough contest if Fayose runs. Let them keep blaming PDP for their foolishness.

Fasehun: Why We Revived UPN
11 Apr 2013
Font Size: a / A

Dr. Fredrick Fasehun

By Sheriff Balogun

Leader and founder of Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), Dr. Fredrick Fasehun, Wednesday vowed to restore sanity back to the country’s political space as he revived the defunct Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), founded by the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, in the Second Republic.

According to him, a credible political association such as UPN would serve as a reliable, focused, people-oriented vehicle that the promoters of UPN would use to restore sanity to the political space, beginning with the South-west.

Fasehun in a statement shortly after the party’s committee meeting in Lagos, said: “One reason for our collective disappointment is that unlike many democracies of the world, government in Nigeria has failed to make the citizens the centrepiece of governance.”

He added that UPN had come to provide such a credible platform, noting that the party would meet the true yearnings of Nigerians for quality education, free health for all, a functional transportation system, rural-urban integration and mass housing.

“There is real danger for the country and we cannot continue to fold our arms and watch politicians run the country aground through profligacy and corruption.

“From all indications, Nigeria will not survive beyond 2014 as a country, unless Nigerians rise up to evolve good political platforms and traditions,” he said.

He recalled that UPN was founded in 1978 by the late Awolowo and was a popular party in the South-west until 1983 when it was proscribed along with other parties in the wake of the coup led by Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd).

He said before its proscription, election results in the Second Republic showed that the UPN was the dominant party in the South-west; was popular in the old Mid-West, now comprising Edo and Delta States  and the then North central, especially in Kwara State, where it won the governorship seat.

joseph1013: Fresh crises seems brewing in camp of Nigeria’s national team as Super Eagles skipper, Joseph Yobo has come out openly to condemn Coach Stephen Keshi for failing to intimate him before leaving him out of the team that played against Kenya’s Harambee Stars in a World Cup qualifying match some days back in Calabar.

Yobo in an interview with Brila Fm Sports radio on Tuesday morning insists Coach Keshi was disrespectful for not giving him any prior notice before his non-invitation for last month's 2014 FIFA W/Cup qualifier against Kenya.

"I'm disappointed nobody called me before the team list (vs Kenya) was announced. It's disrespectful. I feel disrespected."

The Fenerbahce of Turkey defender continued, "I am the captain of the Super Eagles, I thought the coach should have put a call across to me. I have no problem being left out."

The Super Eagles escaped with a 1-1 draw in the World Cup qualifying match after a last minute gasp effort from Italy-based Nnamadi Oduamadi saved Nigeria from an embarrassing defeat at home.

funky medina: look at dbanj at the back..houseboy wey sneak enter photo..Dbanj don turn Akpos!

virtuoso01: I don''t actually know where to post this, but since it has to do with money I decided to post it here. But sincerely I need help and advice concerning this issue:

At exactly 11:23 am this morning I received a text on my phone that 1,450 Naira has been debited from my account. Reason, that I made a POINT OF SALE PURCHASE on Konga.com.


When I saw this I was not really bothered and that I would later go to the bank myself to rectify the mistake.



At 11:50am I received another alert of another transaction. This time 2,000 Naira was debited from another POINT OF SALE PURCHASE on pinreload.com.


Then I started getting worried, so I brought out my ATM Card to be sure and sure enough my card was still with me.



At exactly 11:54 am another message came in. 2,000 Naira debited also due to a POS transaction on pinreload.com.



Now I was very,very alarmed so I quickly stopped my business transaction taking place at that moment and jumped on the next bike I could find, my destination, the nearest GT Bank branch so as to block my ATM Card before the thief decided to use my money to buy something pricey.



On my way to the bank, I received another alert. 2,000 Naira on pinreload.com.




Luckily the nearest GT Bank branch was not too far so I got there within two minutes, but the queue was too long so I literally had to force my way into the bank. While I was doing this another alert came in, another 2,000 Naira.


Inside the bank at the Customer Care desk the queue was much longer, so I had to really persuade the guy at the desk to give me express service. In the process another text came in, 2,000 Naira also from pinreload.com. This convinced him and he quickly blocked my ATM Card which I was holding.



After blocking my ATM Card I asked him to help me to trace from where the transaction was taking place but he told me that I should come back for that for that will take some time.




In total 11,450 Naira was deducted from my account.



Then I called GT Connect to see if those transactions could be reversed and was told that it was not possible. She told me that she noticed that I withdrew from an ATM at computer village last friday, that I must be extra careful in places like that.



The problem that I have is that I do not think that I am willing to reactivate my ATM, in fact I am now very much afraid of that little plastic.



And please does anybody know how it is possible for somebody to just get my details and then use it for online transactions. I dont do online transactions and my ATM card is always with me.



Please I need answers fast not only for myself but for the tens of millions of Nigerians who could also be victims.

austinsmat: anybody that support amnesty to boko haram is a devil and a murderer, and all the blood of innocent soul that was shed by boko haram will be on him or her

Sincere 9gerian: I'm with Bamanga Tukur on this one. Even those technocrats who were not politicians before joining the govt should atleast register in their respective wards as PDP members and participate PDP meetings.

There has to be some sort of balancing of roles because without the hardwork of the politicians to win elections, the so called technocrats will have no govt to run. Also without the input of technocrats after an election has been won, the govt may not perform to the extent of having a good chance in subsequent elections.

Therefore, the so called apolitical technocrats should find away to participate in partisan politics, even if in little ways. Also the politicians should not hesitate to bring into their govt any deserving technocrat, even if apolitical at the time. The politicians should also endeavour to improve and technocratise themselves.

bubadaniel13: Why some people like you see Amnesty as the best option,do you think the Boko Haram have any agenda apart from wrecking havoc on innocent people and planning to islamise the the whole north,maybe you have not been following this people,they are hell bent on making this country ungovernable,as far as i am concern the govt has done well in curtailing them if not they would have done worst,we must all rise against them,i am not a pessimist but amnesty is not even an option.

silica: yesterday, the lives of over 25 innocent Nigerians from all parts of this country, were caught short by a suicide bomber in Kano. The man drove a Volks Wagon car loaded with explosive into the luxury bus park during the evening rush hour. what the barbaric killer failed to tell us is what he wants for which these innocent men, women and children must die. Interestingly, some persons are still calling for amnesty for them and the opposition is busy politicising the matter. for all we know, it could have been any of us reading this or our loved ones. Do these men deserve amnesty for their continued killing of innocent Nigerians?

Aigbofa: It's becoming like the groundhog day. Jonathan issues his standard "we condemn bla bla" The ibos issue their standard " we will declare war bla bla" and everything goes back to the way it was until the next round of senseless killings.
