pDude: Those Russians and Chinese treat you blacks like dogs. Keep loving them

It's not about how they treat us but how they see us. My problem with American is that they impose themself too much on other countries. They act like they are president of the whole world.

I won't call this hustle. He is not even smart at all. Going to same spot to commit same crime.

To hell with US.


That's why I will always love Russia. I will always support Russia and China anyday against the acclaimed God's own country.

I hope this is in the right section.

Just yesterday 28th July, I was driving towards Gwarinpa, there is this flyover bridge that turns directing you towards Gwarinpa/Kubwa express road if you are coming from Nnadi Azikiwe express way.

As I was driving round the bridge turning towards Kubwa, I saw this car parked by the side of the road with the bonnet open and there was this guy dressed with the complete NYSC uniform stranded. Out of pity, I pulled over and the guy ran to me. Without asking, he told me he just ran out of fuel and that he doesn't have any cash with him.

I decided to help and I asked him how we gonna do it. He said he has a keg in his car. So I told him to get it because I was actually heading towards the new NNPC mega station to get petrol for my car and my generator before getting home. Just as I came down from the bridge, he said there is a place close by he can get to buy from black market since it will be difficult for him to come back. So I stopped and gave him 700 naira. He thanked me and came down. As I was going, I looked through my mirror and I saw him trying to cross to the opposite side of the road.

Fast forward to today 29th July, I was driving through same route and saw same guy dressed with same NYSC uniform on same spot with his bonnet open again. Immediately he saw me, he turned his face. I pulled over and started reversing. He started waving to me to go. The next thing, he jumped into his car and speed off heading towards Kubwa. I chased him but could not get him him because I entered into the fast lane and he was on the service lane. After I passed him, he turned into some street and I could not come.

I think he just stands there extorting money from people. But I know one day, I will catch up with him again.

Abuja residents beware. This are the types that can pretend to be NYSC members by putting on the uniform and rob unsuspecting citizens on the highways.

Glasgow (Scotland), July 29, 2014 (NAN) The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) has queried the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC) over the inconsistency in the use of jerseys by its athletes at the ongoing Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.

An official of Team Nigeria, who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Glasgow on Tuesday on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the federation warned Nigeria to either desist from such or face sanctions.

“The Commonwealth Games Federation queried Nigeria, expressing displeasure at the dressing of the athletes in different colours and different sponsors.

“At times, when some of the athletes are competing, they cover the sponsor’s name on their jerseys with masking tape and at times the tape will just fall off.

“So, the federation felt embarrassed with that development and decided to query Nigeria through the Nigeria Olympic Committee (NOC),’’ the source said.
NAN reports that NSC had given the various sports federations money to acquire their own sporting apparels either through direct purchase or sponsorship.

Owing to that, Nigerian athletes have appeared in different jersey colours with the brand of different sponsors inscribed on them.
Sani Ndanusa, President of the NOC, also confirmed the federation’s query to Nigeria in an interview with NAN.

He, however, said that efforts were being made to address the issue “so that the development that led to the query does not happen again.

“NOC will take full control of the provision of the sports wears; there are guidelines which we must follow, so NOC will enforce it.
“The guidelines also include timely preparations; NOC will not completely leave the provision of the sports wears in the hands of the National Sports Commission (NSC).
“We will ensure that all the requirements are met; even the logo on the shirts has a size specification and we know, so we will enforce it henceforth”.

Nigeria is participating in seven sports, including athletics, table tennis, wrestling, weightlifting, shooting, boxing, and para-powerlifting.

Can we have pictures of the Camry please

FrancisTony: 200m gold and Long jump gold too.


****
Here's the link for anyone that want to watch it on Youtube.

Blessing is not involved in the Long Jump this time around. The long jump has already started. She only entered for track events.

Anything aside the gold would have been a big disappointment because she had the best finish time during the heats and semi final. You have put a smile in the faces of Nigerians. Congrats Blessing.

I expect her to make it a double with the 200m.

I also expect her to win the 200m gold in the diamond league. She currently top the standings.

Congrats again to Blessing.

calebo101: This issue has been thrashed over and over again. If he tried to kill himself, that's perfectly alright, i can understand that . If not then i think it's high time he joins hands with President Jonathan to move the country forward. There is no law that says you must be a serving leader before you make an impact!

God know say Uncle Jona must complete e tenure after which we go handover to the East then back to South South again, then to the East, na so we go pass d baton round till we tire, . Na all of us get Nigeria afterall. Who nor gree, make e go hang himself. Kpatakpata we go scatter everything make everybody answer e papa name. The one North oppress us don reach, who dey cry dey see road.

This is one of the best comments I have seen in a long time on NL. Op I give u 1million likes. Very insightful and hilarious. You have made my day.

Cheers

Some Europeans think in Nigeria, we don't and can't speak English.

When I was working in the UK, I had some colleagues from some part of Europe. They were surprised my English was very smooth and they could understand me more than the Brits colleagues.

@Op Okagbare won her heat (heat 5) with 11:20secs. The fastest time in the 6 heats ran yesterday.

If she can build on that, she should be able to pick gold medal. As usual, her problem is always a slow start. I expect her to win the 200m gold.

I asked this same question during one of our learning sessions at NYSC camp Nsi Atai Akwa Ibom state but did not get any answer from the traditional ruler that came to lecture us on their laws and customs.

I remember he said Ekpo Nkagwo will kill the woman while the man will buy a goat and some drinks to appease the gods.

In some part of my tribe, if the married woman commits adultery or sleeps outside, it is the husband that will fall very ill for a very long time until the wife confesses. I mean this is mad...the gods must be really crazy.

Looking forward to a very longggggggggggggg weekend.

Even though I love this song, I expected more from the video. Some part of the video doesn't align with the song. This video killed my interest for the song.

‎In the recent past, it has become something of a sport for various organisations to come up with list of richest entertainers, using various parameters most convenient to them.
And more often than not, their publications are either greeted with disbelief, outrage and even scorn. If not from the persons concerned, it comes from the members of the public. There has never been a time a published list of the richest African musicians was welcomed with widespread acceptability.
Even when Channel O and Forbes came up with a top ten list of richest African musicians, presumably using factors such as endorsement value, popularity, show rates, sales, awards, YouTube views, appearance in newspapers, investment, social media presense, influence and so many other factors, many people still did not believe they got it spot on.
Now, an African online magazine known as Answers Africa has done its own findings, using pretty much the same parameters as Forbes and here is what they came up with. Compare it with Forbes list and see which one is nearer the mark:
1. Youssou N’dour: The legendary Senegalese singer born in 1959 tops the list. He is said to own biggest media houses in Senegal, including radio and TV stations. He has served as Senegalese cultural ambassador and culture minister . Note; not on Forbes list.
 
2. P-Square: The singing duo of Peter and Paul sit in the second position according to Answers Africa on account of their various endorsements and returns on shows and tours. They are said to make over 150 thousand dollars per show. Their Ikeja crib is valued at 3M dollars. Note: Rated third on Forbes’ list.
 
3. D’Banj: The Koko master who has now gone in deep into entrepreneurship is rated third richest in Africa. He charges over 100 thousand dollars per show and he is said to have a house in Atlanta, Georgia, USA worth more than 1.5M dollars. Note: Forbes rated him fourth in Africa
 
4. Kofi Olomide: Real names, Antoine Christophe Mumba, born 1956 is 4th. The DR Congplese Soukous star rakes in more than 100 thousand dollars per show. Has 7 albums to his credit. Note: Not on Forbes list.
 
5. Salif Keita: Malian Afro-pop singer, born 1949 is a direct descendant of Emperor Sundiata Keita, founder of Mali Empire. He is said to have private island and estates in France. Note: Not on Forbes list
 
6. Fally Ipupa: From Democratic Republic of Congo, Fally used to be part of Kofi Olomide’s band before branching out on his own. Immensely rich. Note: Not on Forbes list.
 
7. 2face Idibia:
Has 5 albums to his name while working on the 6th. 2Face has won over 40 awards, probably more decorated than any of his contemporaries. He has vast investment in real estate. Earns around 50 t0 80 thousand dollars per show. Note: 6th on Forbes list
 
8. Hugh Masekela: Born 1939, Hugh is one of the most talented jazz artiste in Africa. The South African singer and trumpeter was once nominated for a Grammy award. Note; Not on Forbes list
 
9. Banky W: The widely acclaimed king of African Rn B has made so much money from endorsements. Brand ambassador for Etisalat in Nigeria, Samsung in the West African region, among others. Note: 10th on Forbes list.
 
10. Jose Chameleone: Joseph Mayanja, popular reggae musician from Uganda is the biggest money-maker in the Eastern Africa. He is said to have a spectacular fleet of customised exotic cars. Note: Not on Forbes list.

Nyako must really be battling for his life and job. I just saw him being sneaked into Transcorp Hilton through the congress hall entrance. To make the whole situation funny, he was brought in with a 2008 Camry with private reg no and just 3 mobile police and some few aides in a jeep. No siren and the the usual long entourage. At first, I thought he has finally been removed.
I have never liked him, but I felt for him when I saw him.

Nigeria may have long been kicked out of the World Cup by France, but the exploits of goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama are still reigning supreme and being re-echoed at the on-going World Cup. Little wonder therefore he has been named in the Top 10 goalkeepers in the World Cup. He is rated the fourth best Goalkeeper in Brazil.

1 Manuel Neuer (Germany)
Cristiano Ronaldo got an early clue that this was not going to be his tournament when Neuer produced a superb save from a stoppage-time free-kick to prevent Portugal from salvaging even a sliver of consolation from their crushing defeat by Germany. But it is not his shot-stopping that has distinguished Neuer, it is the way he has practically redefined the role of a goalkeeper, taking the sweeper-keeper function to an extreme never before showcased with such success.
His charges out of his box prevented Algeria, in particular, from revelling in the space behind Germany’s high defensive line, compensating for Per Mertesacker’s lack of pace. In addition to the obvious effectiveness, the sight of the hulking keeper hurtling towards confrontation must have a potent mind-game value – Asamoah Gyan, for instance, fled ridiculously wide when presented with the chance to take on Neuer one-on-one. What is more, Neuer’s superb distribution makes him the first line of attack.

2. Guillermo Ochoa (Mexico)
Way to ace a job interview. Ochoa, a free agent after three outstanding seasons at Ajaccio, was unlikely to be short of offers before the tournament but his displays for Mexico may have endeared him to a new calibre of recruiter. The 28-year-old’s agility, reflexes and robust wrists enabled him to make an array of improbable saves. Brazil players wondered whether there had been divine intervention when he helped Mexico to draw against them, while it took some devilry from Arjen Robben to beat Ochoa in the end.

3. Keylor Navas (Costa Rica)
The 27-year-old came into the tournament after a wonderful season in which he set a new clean-sheet record for Levante but it has still been a major surprise to see Costa Rica advance to the quarter-finals while conceding only two goals in five matches – Uruguay, Italy, England, Greece and Holland. Behind a solid unit, Navas was a secure presence. As the pressure increased, his performances rose accordingly, with his exhibitions of shot-stopping against Greece and Holland among the highlights of the tournament.

4. Vincent Enyeama (Nigeria)
Another goalkeeper who arrived after a record-breaking season at club level. Enyeama carried on the form that made him nigh-on unbeatable for Lille last term, pulling off a series of extraordinary saves, starting in the first match against Iran, when Nigeria dominated but would have lost if the goalkeeper had not kept enough concentration to tip away a header from Reza Ghoochannejhad.
He then kept Bosnia-Herzegovina at bay before thwarting Lionel Messi and Argentina for long periods despite conceding three. When a goalkeeper falls below imperfection, however, he can be punished severely and Enyeama’s mishandling of a cross against France enabled Paul Pogba to plunder the winning goal and ruined another otherwise immaculate performance.

5. Tim Howard (USA)
Even though he made a tournament-record number of saves against Belgium, the American’s shot-stopping was not the most admirable aspect of his performances in Brazil – and not only because most of the Belgian efforts were straight at the goalkeeper, their forwards’ odd lack of composure seemingly making them unable to spot Howard’s tendency to go low prematurely, a habit that Nani had exploited earlier. That quibble aside, Howard’s influence seemed immense as his leadership helped coax valiant resistance from defenders who might otherwise have been torn apart. He inspired his team-mates with words and deeds.

6. Raïs M’Bohli (Algeria)
The Algeria No1 did not arrive in Brazil with a big reputation. In fact the Hearts manager, Robbie Nielsen, admitted this month that he had no recollection of M’Bohli being at the Scottish club and they are one of nine sides where he had a stint before joining his current employer, CSKA Sofia, where he is not a regular starter. Like many of his team-mates, he earned new respect. His display against Germany was the crowning glory, as he repelled a fusillade with some spectacular blocks such as the reflex stop from a close-range Thomas Müller or, best of all, a diving, fingertip save to push a Philipp Lahm drive just round a post. Unforgettable.

7. Júlio César (Brazil)
Researchers and sports scientists spend lots of time and money trying to figure out how best to prepare for tournaments but none of them has ever submitted a thesis recommending a year on the Loftus Road bench followed by a sojourn in the boondocks of Toronto FC. But that was César’s prelude to this World Cup and the 34-year-old has so far justified the manager’s decision to keep faith with him.
He made sharp saves from Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic to prevent Brazil from suffering a shock defeat in the opening game and made an outstanding save in normal time against Chile to keep out a shot from Charles Aránguiz. Before the shootout he told his team-mates to “hit them with confidence and I’ll stop three” and then turned away efforts from Mauricio Pinilla and Alexis Sánchez before Gonzalo Jara tried too hard to put the ball out of the goalkeeper’s reach and hit a post.

8. Thibaut Courtois (Belgium)
Playing in front of Courtois must give defenders the same sense of security that a slight time delay gives live broadcasters, who thus know they may escape punishment for any goof. Belgium did not sparkle in this tournament but nor did they ever really look in danger – except in the dying stages of the game against the USA, and in their moment of greatest need Courtois was on hand to bail them out, making a top block to thwart Clint Dempsey after a smart free-kick. And while Belgium left the tournament with a whimper, Courtois at least showed that his own defiance remained intact as he made a splendid late save to foil Lionel Messi.

9. David Ospina (Colombia)
Colombia entertained with their attacking play but on the rare occasion that their defence was infiltrated, Ospina proved a reliable guardian. His display in the second-half against Uruguay was especially impressive as he made four crucial stops to preserve his team’s lead, including one excellent intervention to deny Maxi Pereira. In the end it took a scrambled goal from Thiago Silva and an odd swirling free-kick to confound the Colombia No1.

10. Tim Krul (Holland)
Was he really a penalty-saving specialist before Louis van Gaal introduced him from the bench just seconds before the quarter-final shootout against Costa Rica? His record did not suggest so, but the unusual substitution planted the idea in the opposition’s mind and Krul’s two subsequent saves mean that now he really can be considered a specialist. A bluff that became a truth: masterful.

Op: Remaining small, I would have said u are madt. Where is UNIBEN?

Just to enlighten you, Uniben medical school ranks among the top 4 in Nigeria just in case u don't know.

What happened to my greatest Uniben?

When I was in Uniben between 2004 and 2008 when Nwanbueze was the VC, Uniben was number 1 for like 2 consecutive years.
