Neymar has agreed a five-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain ahead of a world-record transfer from Barcelona worth a total of nearly £450m.

http://www.skysports.com/football/news/12691/10971192/neymar-agrees-five-year-paris-saint-germain-deal-ahead-of-world-record-450m-transfer-from-barcelona

Brazilian footballer Neymar is set to leave his Spanish club Barcelona to move to France's Paris St-Germain - but the move is set to cost a record-breaking €222m fee.
At today's prices, one Neymar is worth £198m, or $262m, which could buy...

A plane (or three)
One Neymar could buy three Boeing 737-700 passenger planes, which cost $82.4m each.

If you wanted to upgrade to the snazzier 737-800 - the type of plane that makes up a large chunk of Ryanair's European fleet - you'd only be able to afford two, with about $65m left over for bells and whistles.

Alternatively, you could exchange your Neymar for a private jet - ranging up to about $100m - and then spend the rest on the (insanely high) running costs every year.

Hello folks, its weekend and its time to relax and unwind so we decided to ask this question.

I was with some of my friends at the weekend and we had an argument that its not ideal you buy a car first without having at least a landed property or a house. According to the Yorubas, it's been said that cars make you spend and it accumulates expenses while land, cars are all assets..

This makes us to ask, when did you buy your first car? Did you believe in the saying that cars are money wasters? How has your car affect your life or business in anyway.

It's weekend and we just want to freestyle..

- AutoReportNG

We have got to understand that we live in a very conservative society that is still adapting to the change in paradigm blowing across the world. However somethings are more guaranteed in the economies we try to copy than ours. What should motivate anyone to achieve anything tangible these days are his or her peer group and the people you move with. My first car was a Toyota Tercel and my first experience with a Toyota product. I am in the equipments and plant business and I had to buy that vehicle in order to see my customers across the Nation. Along the line, I switched to a Mercedes Benz C220 1996 which I used unregrettably for three years and sometimes travelling across the country on sales trip as the Japanese could not serve my purpose. My motivation again is that my father used an earlier 1974 version of the same product which he used to conduct his own businesses. Third members of my peer group used Mercedes Benz and contrary to my expectation, it is cheaper to maintain than most overhyped Japanese vehicles. I must say that Mercedes Benz is a rugged product and with good maintenance and the right spare parts you can use it for as long as you want.By taking that brand of car to any business meeting or bidding, I won respect for my competitors and host. I do not believe that society or anyone should dictate how you live your life but I believe that you should make a choice on how you live your life to the fullest. Cheers to everyone reading this.

The worst damaging directors of any business including their fathers businesses. You can ask the IBBs children more about them and they will gladly tell you who these kids are.

BigIyanga:
because Naija mechanics arent informed. They have always been wrong. They told us automatic cars were bad because you cant push them if they stop u at Orej.. Sounds familiar with your Oreh argument?
Imagine a mechanic telling you that synthetic oil doesnt matter or that using brake fluid in place of transmission oil is not a problem.
95% of Naija mechanics dont use any diagostic tools..
I have had issues where mechanics will be telling their clients to buy a 5/6 gear system which is manual instead of buying 9/10 gear system which is mechanically superior and more rugged.
5/6 will take more fuel, less HP, less torque, more wear and tear, less efficient and it will kill the engine faster, but mechanics are selfish and inflexible.

Tell me a car that 9/10 gear system and i would buy one.

A Nigerian Muslim photographer named Wasi was a victim of a hate crime in London today.

The woman who goes by the twitter name Knox Mulder, was walking along Central London with her friend Aamer Rahman when a white woman walked to them and spat on her face. Wasi wears hijab.

Rahman posted photos of the woman, calling on people to share his post until it gets to the proper authority.


"Walking in central London with my friend Wasi - Nigerian, hijabi. Out of nowhere this woman walked past and spat directly at her face muttering about 'people like you. If you live in London please circulate this post."


See their tweets for further details on the unprovoked attack...

Confirming tha fact that Barbarians have an origin in oyinbo mans land.

stephanie11:
Nigeria's ruling party, APC has agreed to address the issue of restructuring currently being demanded by many political groups and prominent individuals. PoliticsNGR learnt that the matter was discussed by the party's leadership and governors in a meeting at the Imo Governor's Lodge, Abuja, on Thursday.

PoliticsNGR further discovered that the party leaders and governors resolved to set up a technical committee this week to handle affairs related to restructuring.

A governor at the meeting said that after the committee’s work, the party would summon another meeting to marshal out a way forward.

Quoting Him;

"Of course, we discussed the Anambra governorship election, especially the threat to the election by IPOB, and the leaders of the APC in the South-east who attended the meeting assured us that the boycott was not going to have any effect.”

The National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, had after the meeting told newsmen:

“We discussed issues affecting the nation and the impact of the current wave of agitations across the country.We decided to strengthen the party. We decided that the kind of verbiage and incendiary statements by different groups were not good for the health of the nation and we decided that it had to stop

“For that reason, we have taken certain measures, which I will not disclose here, to ensure that the basic and fundamental unity of this country is preserved while at the same time listening to whatever grievances anybody has to say.”

The development has been received with much applause as it will end the various agitations of secession currently threatening the nation's unity.

These politicians dont learn. The greatest bloody and bloodless revolution happened in Russia and I am surprised that our politicians dont learn from it. The bloddless part was when Representatives of the then Soviet Union were locked in the Duma for two weeks by their own people to decide the fate of the then Soviet union in 1991. When they felt the effect of Hunger and defeat, they were forced to opt for the break up of the Soviet union into fragmented republics. Today we have more than countries after the voice of the people decided it. I foresee the same problem with Nigeria if these issues are not discussed before the 2019 elections. The politicians, elites and THEIR ASSOCIATES DONT LEARN AT ALL FROM THE LESSONS OF HISTORY

These pastors use the media ro ggain sympathy all the time while they dont practice what they preach. I think they should come down to Kaduna where the parents of Muslim pupils at Baptist Primary School Kaduna were made to sign undertakings for their wards to compulsorily take CRS as a course on admission to the school.

..I just don't know where to start from.
I feel like ending it all.
My husband just broke up with me because I am yet to conceive and he said he doesn't want IVF.
We have only be trying for a year plus.

This is someone I did a lot of things for and now he has abandoned me.I don't know how to face my family.I feel so ashamed and devastated.
God has really forsaken me...

How do I start my life afresh because I am so confused.
It is not going to be easy for me because I have invested so much in this marriage.I have done so many things because of love.It is really hard for me.I am at the receiving end.

Will I be able to pull through this?

You will pull through this Insha Allah. Do you believe in God in whatever religion you worship Him? Except you are not a true believer then your case is closed What you need is prayers. You do not need a prayer warrior to do that for you. Wake up in the dead of night when everyone is enjoying sleep and tell God your problems. From the short notes you put up, you went into marriage out of desperation and probably spent all your resources to make it work. Let me tell you a story about most men. They are heartless and the few good ones are hard to find. Your case is a hard lesson learnt. I believe you will find the true love if you move closer to God because marriage is a spiritual union. My biggest message here is dont give up.

Good luck in your prayers and search for true love,husband and partner for life.

Cheers.

You are joking right. Thi sis a senseless, stupid, God forsaken country. Who decides to rip a family in 2? Only a stupid court that thinks its fair to give "half" to each of them. All of them should have been with one parent. mother or father, but the parent who can take care of them then grant the other parent visit. or have all of them Live with Mum for example and hokiday and weekends at Dad . BUt hey we are talking about Nigeria here. Anything goes

In this case,it is the culture that plays the better part of divorce, Mind you, they are both Muslims and legal cases bothering the lives of Muslims are tried in a Customary Court and not a civil court or a high court. The Customary Court in this case is the Sharia Court which the Colonial Masters met and did not tamper with its system up North. Where it fails, there is a Sharia Court Of Appeal which can act as an Appeal Court for to revisit the case and further uphold or dismiss the case as appropriate.

ChuzzyBlog:
The removal of Juliana Olayode popularly know as Toyo Baby from Funke Akindele's Jenifa series, raised so many eyebrows and different people suggested different things all geared towards the duo having a misunderstanding!

The both parties have remained coy on this matter until today, Juliana decided to break the ice in what she captioned "The Relationship Between Jenifa And Toyo Baby Uncensored".

Read the post below:

[b]​Thank you for choosing to read this post. It hurts when people spread lies about you and you cannot do anything to defend yourself. But thank God for a platform like this. I would be saying a lot of things; it would be a long read but I promise you would enjoy reading.

I would be stating in clear terms the relationship I had with Aunty Funke. I used ‘had’ and would be talking in past tense because like you know, I am presently not on the Jenifa’s Diary series. And guess what? The news just broke lately, but I have been off the series since May,2016 (last year); it’s been over a year already.

My post would be in two parts; who Aunty Funke was to me (Juliana), and then, who I was to her. These are things only few people know but I am ready to let the world know.

Yes! I will start with her. Why? She’s an amazing person and I can’t wait for you to know how lovely she is on a one-on-one basis. We all have our flaws but we choose rather to celebrate our strengths. Here goes!

Aunty Funke to Juliana!

COACH

Aunty Funke met me for the first time at the auditions of Jenifa’s Diary (she did not know me prior to that day). She saw my talent and believed in me. I worked with her for years; she trained me and helped me in becoming a better actress. She would not take anything short of excellence from her cast. I honestly have not seen anyone in Nollywood more hard working than Aunty Funke. And she made it a duty to correct me and coach me on being better.

BENEFACTOR

Aunty Funke helped pay my mum’s hospital bill for a fibroid surgery, two hundred and fifty thousand naira (N250,000), because I had no money at that time. She also gave to the ministry dear to my heart, MINE Teenage Ministry when we were preparing for an event, one hundred thousand naira (N100,000) and my pastor called to appreciate her. So apart from my pay as an actress on the series (which I won’t mention), that’s all I received from her money-wise, asides from change she gave me for transport when leaving set because as at then, I used to jump bus, ‘keke’ and bike to and fro set up until I left the series…lol. But in all, God used her to meet that major need in my life at that time.

BIG SISTER AND ADVISER

I fondly remember the times Aunty Funke would call me to her room while I was staying in her house (during set), and talk to me. She would take her time to advise me and encourage me as regards life in general. One particular day I treasure was the day she came to the room I stayed and told me, in a mother’s tone that I was beautiful and she warned me sternly never to bleach. I smile whenever I remember that. God bless her kind heart!p

CHEERLEADER AND ENCOURAGER

Aunty Funke never ceased to celebrate me. Knowing how excellent she is at what she does (acting), I was shocked, elated and excited all at once the day she told me I was a good actress. She told me I would be great and celebrated. She saw years ago what is happening today. I am thankful for her words.

Juliana to Aunty Funke!

UNOFFICIAL PA

I was privileged to be the one holding Aunty Funke’s bag while on set. I ‘kept’ the money we spent on day-to-day running and was required to balance account afterwards. I don’t like Mathematics, so that was a lot of work…lol. Money was never unaccounted for in my keep. I ran errands for Aunty Funke and made sure all that was needed was supplied.

UNOFFICIAL ASSISTANT MAKE-UP ARTIST

On set, on some occasions, when I was not acting, I was fanning and dabbing the faces of other actresses (including extras). So, this is for those that have accused me of being proud. Please ask those I fanned and dabbed while preparing to go on set later. On some occasions, I also did my own makeup and that of some other cast. All I wanted to do was SERVE; I wanted every set to be a success.

UNOFFICIAL ASSISTANT CATERER

On set, there were different occasions I served cast and crew (plus extras) food and water. At some points, I joined in washing plates when the plates were not enough to go round. And times I was not acting, and I saw the ‘Mamas’ needed help, I joined them in washing plates. They are alive to bear witness.

UNOFFICIAL ASSISTANT COSTUMIER

I hardly forget things I memorised, so I knew the continuity of major characters on the set. Aunty Funke used to ask Costumiers to confirm costumes with me. On some occasions.I had to go to set earlier than others and leave later than others to sort out costumes, including wigs and other accessories. I looked forward to doing it and never once complained

UNOFFICIAL ASSISTANT DRIVER

I could not drive while on Jenifa’s Diary set, and I still cannot…lol but I woke up early on different occasions to wash Aunty Funke’s car. The times I didn’t wash, I dusted the car. She is a neat person, so I made sure the inside of the car and the boot were tidy and clean. For me, it was pleasure serving Aunty Funke.

UNOFFICIAL CLEANER

I lived with Aunty Funke while set was on, so I counted it my duty to clean the house. She lived in a duplex at Chevron at that time, so I cleaned the entire house. Sweeping and moping from room to room. Scrubbing bathroom after bathroom. I arranged wardrobe after wardrobe, laid one bed after another. You would not know any of these if I am not saying this. I did all this with joy. She was special to me and you serve those you love.

UNOFFICIAL WASHER WOMAN

Aunty Funke is neat and very tidy and she does professional drycleaning. But there were times she needed a dress washed urgently and I helped her wash. Please don’t accuse me of being proud or rude to Aunty Funke again. I SERVED her WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

UNOFFICIAL COOK

Some of my fond memories with Aunty Funke are the times I cooked for Aunty Funke. I enjoyed cooking for her. I followed someone who lived with her then (name withheld) to market on different occasions to buy things we used to cook. Please note, I had a home of my own. I stayed with Aunty Funke only when we were shooting except times she specifically asked me to come over.

UNOFFICIAL MASSUER

I learnt how to massage with Aunty Funke; I learnt on the job…lol. I knew she was usually tired when we got back so it was my pleasure to relieve her; she sometimes slept off while I massaged her. There was a day we were on location and we did not take the oil. Someone offered oil but as I held it, my spirit was not at peace. So, I bowed my head and prayed over the oil. I did not know Aunty Funke was watching me. When I opened my eyes, she asked what I did and I told her. Her response was “O se oko mi”, translated, “thank you my dear”.

PRAYER PARTNER

There were different times Aunty Funke called me to pray on location, and sometimes at home. There was a time I gave her a Word of Knowledge. I had a dream once, I told her, and it happened the next day. I fasted and prayed with Aunty Funke and her sister. She called me to pray with her at midnight at some points. She knew from the onset that I was a Christian and that I was committed to prayer. There were different times we both prayed and asked God to give us sponsors. So, for those that have accused me of being “holier-than-thou”, that is the real me o! Everybody on every set I have gone, including Jenifa’s Diary, know I am unapologetically sold out to Jesus. I am not ‘deceiving’ anybody. That is my ‘real face’…lol

SCRIPT ADVISER

I had the pleasure of sitting and gisting with Aunty Funke at different points, whether at home or in the car. We would talk about the script. She sometimes had inspirations in the car and she would ask me to write it down so she doesn’t forget, and she would ask my opinion. I treasure those moments. Interestingly,there was a day we were talking at the house and her husband was there. I talked about loving High School movies and Musicals. I said I wondered why we didn’t have such in Nigeria. Then, we all started talking. JJC Skills even ‘drafted’ me into it already but we were just talking lightly. It is my joy that “INDUSTREET” is a reality today!

Let me stop here! So, with these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince you and not confuse you that you shouldn’t believe everything you read until you hear from the source.

Your question now is, what happened? Hmmm! We had a misunderstanding and I cannot disclose what happened without Aunty Funke’s permission. But if you read all I said in the post, you would gather that we were quite close. And when two people get that close, misunderstandings are bound to occur.

All I have said, you can confirm. 100% truth and UNCENSORED!!!

So, it is God, who saw my faithfulness and commitment, Who is rewarding me and announcing me to the world. Dear aspiring celeb, please SERVE and not seek to be served.

Much love!

Juliana Olayode.[/b]
