An habitually drunk sailor uncle once swore he saw a marmaid, But like i said habitually drunk even though he swore he didn't drink that day Same thing he says every other day he drinks. So I find it hard to believe him.

A sailor pal also told me he had seen several mermaid during his time as a captain(Sailor).

Not to forget; a fisherman also said the same live on a TV station in Lagos a little over a decade ago.

Sometimes one don't know what to believe.

Ranked! The 10 best strikers in the world
Sergio Aguero
It's a golden age for frontmen right now, but these 10 have proved themselves the cream of the crop... in our opinion, at least

Disclaimer: This list only features centre-forwards, of those who at least play there regularly, so the likes of Lionel Messi, Mohamed Salah and Neymar weren’t considered. They have their own list...

10. Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)
Karim Benzema

Perennially underrated, Benzema may one day get the credit he deserves for a decade of consistent excellence at the Santiago Bernabeu. The former France international was perfectly happy to operate in Cristiano Ronaldo's shadow during the Portuguese's time at Madrid, and it was notable that Ronaldo always seemed more comfortable when playing alongside Benzema.

The former Lyon centre-forward has had to take on more responsibility since Ronaldo's departure, a challenge he hasn't shirked. The 31-year-old has scored 12 goals in 16 games at the start of 2019/20, while he remains as adept as ever at bringing team-mates into play.


9. Romelu Lukaku (Inter)
Romelu Lukaku

Lukaku endured an underwhelming season at Manchester United last time out, scoring just 15 times in all competitions and losing his place at centre-forward to Marcus Rashford. It still represented a risk for the Red Devils to sell him to Inter, though, and the early evidence suggests Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and co. may have made a mistake.

Lukaku has done an admirable job of filling Mauro Icardi's shoes at San Siro, having netted 10 goals in his first 13 Serie A encounters. His touch remains erratic and his link-up play still needs work, but Lukaku's credentials as an effective marksman can't be questioned.

8. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal)
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Having acquired Alexandre Lacazette a few months prior, a few eyebrows were raised when Arsenal went all out for the soon-to-be 29-year-old Aubameyang in January 2018. Yet the £56m they paid to Borussia Dortmund has proved to be an inspired piece of business, with Aubameyang one of the rare bright spots at the Emirates Stadium this term.

The Gabon international shared the Premier League Golden Boot with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah in 2018/19, scoring 22 times in the top flight and on nine more occasions in other competitions. Sharp and speedy, Aubameyang is a deadly finisher who's hard to get a handle on.

7. Mauro Icardi (PSG)
Mauro Icardi

Icardi isn't what you would call shy and retiring off the pitch, as fans of Inter can attest. Controversy was never far away during the Argentinian's six years at San Siro, but there's no doubt he was worth the aggro, as demonstrated by his record of 124 goals in 219 appearances.

The 26-year-old has continued in a similar vein since joining PSG on loan in the summer, since when he's found the net 10 times in 11 outings. There's room for improvement in his work outside the box, but very few strikers come alive inside it quite like Icardi.

6. Roberto Firmino (Liverpool)
Roberto Firmino

Firmino isn’t a striker in the mould of most players covered in this list, and would probably play a more withdrawn role under another manager, but he’s been used as the central attacker for the vast majority of Jurgen Klopp’s tenure at Anfield and therefore qualifies for selection.

Firmino’s goal record – 47 in his last 121 games for Liverpool since the start of last season – is good rather than great, but it’s his ability as a facilitator which really sets him apart. Intelligent, dynamic and technically gifted, the selfless Brazilian invariably brings out the best in those around him.

5. Luis Suarez (Barcelona)
Luis Suarez

Suarez delivered one of the greatest individual campaigns in Premier League history when he almost led Liverpool to the title in 2013/14, and although he's not had as big a share of the limelight at a Lionel Messi-dominated Barcelona, the Uruguayan's tally of 186 goals in 261 matches for the Blaugrana is mightily impressive.

Technically gifted and surprisingly strong, Suarez is the archetypal South American striker. He can drop deep or sprint in behind, is extremely well-rounded, and on his day virtually impossible to play against. Those days aren't quite so frequent as they used to be, but rest assured: he's still got it.

4. Harry Kane (Tottenham)
Harry Kane

​Leading his boyhood club to the Champions League final capped a remarkable few years for Kane, who has soared from Tottenham reserve to becoming one of the best strikers on the planet since 2014. The England captain has scored 159 times in his last five full seasons, won the Golden Boot at the 2018 World Cup, and has reached 20 Champions League goals faster than any other player.

Finishing is Kane’s standout attribute, but he’s also a brilliant passer who often drifts into deeper areas to pick up possession and bring team-mates into play. And although the 26-year-old isn’t the quickest, he’s an expert at finding half a yard of space in and around the penalty area. A true all-rounder.

3. Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)
Sergio Aguero

Aguero’s days at Manchester City looked to be numbered early on in Pep Guardiola’s tenure, but the Argentina international has demonstrated his enduring quality to climb back above Gabriel Jesus in the centre-forward pecking order.

The 31-year-old's combination play and ability to press from the front have improved under Guardiola’s tutelage, and he has ultimately become more of an all-round – and better – striker for it. Sticking the ball in the back of the net remains his forte, though, and there are few players more clinical than City’s record goalscorer.

2. Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)
Robert Lewandowski

Lewandowski has been in preposterous form at the start of this season, plundering 27 goals in 20 games at the time of writing. The Pole turned 31 in August but somehow seems to getting even better, and is well on course to reach the 40-goal mark for a fifth consecutive campaign.

He's more than just a scorer too, adept at combining with team-mates and serving as a focal point for both club and country. With Lewandowski leading the line, Poland could be dark horses at next summer's European Championship.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus)<--pagebreak-->
Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo is still deployed from the left on occasion, but in recent years he’s morphed from wide forward to central striker. The Portugal international doesn’t get as involved in the build-up play as he once did, but he remains incredibly productive in front of goal, having scored 34 times in his 57 appearances for Juventus.

The 34-year-old is also on course to set a new international goals record, with Ronaldo now just 10 behind Ali Daei’s 109 for Iran. Don’t bet against him doing that and winning the Champions League with a third club before next year’s out.

Idiot. He needs the electric chair.

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu Full Biography, Life, And Career.

Sen (Asiwaju) Bola Ahmed Tinubu
(Former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of APC)
FULL NAME: Bola Ahmed Adekunle Tinubu

DATE OF BIRTH: 29 March 1952 (age 65)

OCCUPATION: Accountant, Politician

MARITAL STATUS: Married

INTRODUCTION

Bola Ahmed Tinubu was elected Senator for the Lagos West constituency in Lagos State, Nigeria in 1993, he also was elected governor of Lagos State (1999 – 2007). He is said to be among Nigeria’s most successful politicians ever. He is currently the national leader of the ruling party in Nigeria, All Progressive Congress (APC).

EARLY LIFE AND BACKGROUND

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was born in Lagos, Nigeria to the illustrious Tinubu Family of Lagos State. He attended Richard Daley College, Chicago Illinois, where he earned himself a place in the honors list of the College. He subsequently proceeded to the Chicago State University, Illinois where he obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (Accounting and Management).
During his undergraduate years, he was honored with the Outstanding Student’s Award, The University Scholar’s Award and the Certificate of Merit in Accounting and Finance.

On his arrival in the U.S. in 1975 and with the support of an ever-adoring mother, this courageous youth, faced with an unflinching zeal to succeed, took on such menial jobs as dishwashing, night-guard and cab-driving to see himself through the initial difficulties of school at the Richard Daley College, Chicago, Illinois.

The brilliance of this young Nigerian showed in his ability to make the honours’ list of Richard Daley College. He subsequently transferred to the Chicago State University, Illinois, graduating with honours in 1979 and earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration (Accounting and Management). During his first year in Chicago State University, young Bola was given the rare privilege to partly teach other students of his Faculty remedial tutorial classes. Most of his colleagues and contemporaries at the university attributed their improved grades to his tutorial lectures.

Throughout his undergraduate years, young Bola was on the Dean’s List and was honoured with the Outstanding Student’s Award, the University Scholar’s Award and the Certificate of Merit in Accounting and Finance. He was also awarded the prestigious Sumna cum laude for scoring 3.54 out of possible 4.0 GP.

With his successful academic profile, young Bola contested and won his first political election as the President of the Accounting Society of the institution in his final year at the University.

Upon graduation with honours and several awards, Bola Tinubu cut his professional teeth at the American-based Arthur Anderson, Deloitte Haskins and Sells (now called Deloitte Haskins and Touche) and GTE Service Corporation – the largest Communication and Utility Company in the United States of America.

Meanwhile, at Deloitte Haskins and Sells, the young and professional Bola broadened his experience by participating in the auditing and management consultancy services of General Motors, First National Bank of Chicago, Procter and Gamble, International Harvester, GEC and other Fortune 500 firms.

CAREER AND LIFE

On his return to Nigeria and with his international experience in Financial Management, young Bola joined Mobil Producing Nigeria as a Senior Auditor before he retired as the company’s Treasurer.

As pragmatic, charitable, grassroots’ person, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu saw communal service as a veritable tool for social development. He never hesitated to serve his community spearheading several financial contributions and fund-raising for community development programmes in Lagos State. He leads Primrose Group, a political action organization pushing for fundamental changes in the politics of Lagos State.

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu opted fully for public service in exchange for his lucrative job at Mobil. His first foray into active politics was as a founding member of the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP). In 1992, he was elected as an Honourable Senator of the Federal Republic Nigeria to represent Lagos West Senatorial District. At the National Assembly, he distinguished himself as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Finance, Appropriation and Currency – a foremost committee of the Senate.

With the annulment of the June 12, 1993 Nigerian Presidential Election and the consequent fresh militarization of the Nigerian politics, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu became a founding member of the famous pro-democracy group, the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) which, for several years, engaged the military for the very soul of Nigeria. Subsequently, Bola Tinubu suffered many arrests and detention, harassments and constant threats to his life forcing him to flee Nigeria for his personal safety. He, however, did not give up the struggle as he joined NADECO abroad to continue the agitation for a restoration of democratic governance and the rule in the country.
In 1998, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu returned to Nigeria to heed a call for all Nigerians to join in the National Reconciliation and Development. A year later, he began his two-term public service as an elected Executive Governor of Lagos State on the platform of the Alliance for Democracy (AD).

For his excellent performance as the Executive Governor of Lagos State of Nigeria (1999 – 2007), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu received several awards. These include Best Governor in Nigeria for Y2000 by the Nigerian-Belgian Chamber of Commerce; Y2002 Best Practices Prize in improving the living environment, awarded by the Federal Ministry of Works and the UN Habitat Group; Y2000 Best Computerized Government in Nigeria Award by the Computer Association of Nigeria. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was conferred with the Honorary Doctor of Law Degree by the Abia State University in recognition of his immense contribution to democracy, good governance and development of Nigeria. He is the proud recipient of numerous other chieftaincy titles and a patron of many professional and social organizations.

As an astute political strategist, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu survived the massive incursion of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the South Western States of Nigeria as the lone re-elected Governor of the Alliance for Democracy (AD). This led him on a regular collision course with the PDP-controlled Federal Government, especially on his creation of additional 37 Local Council Development Areas for Lagos States. A Supreme Court judgment in his favour stated that the Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo’s Federal Government should release the seized statutory allocation of the Lagos State Local Government funds.

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was actively involved in the creation of the Action Congress (AC) political party as recourse to the decimated Alliance for Democracy (AD). Rallying like minds across the country, he sold sound ideals and programmes on this fresh and new political platform. Within a few months, he transformed this new party as the credible opposition to the PDP in the country.

His political career began in 1992, when he was elected to the Nigerian Senate representing the Lagos West constituency in the short-lived Nigerian Third Republic. After the results of the 12 June 1993 presidential elections were annulled, Tinubu became a founding member of the pro-democracy National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), which mobilized support for the restoration of democracy and recognition of the 12 June results. He went into exile in 1994 and returned to the country in 1998 after the death of military dictator Sani Abacha, which ushered in a transition to civilian rule.

In the run-up to the 1999 elections, Bola Tinubu was a protégé of Alliance for Democracy (AD) leaders Abraham Adesanya and Ayo Adebanjo. He won the AD primaries for the Lagos State gubernatorial elections in competition with Funsho Williams and Wahab Dosunmu, a former Minister of Works and Housing. In April 1999, he stood for the position of Executive Governor of Lagos State on the AD ticket and was elected.
Lagos State governor

When he assumed office in May 1999, Bola Ahmed Tinubu promised 10,000 housing units for the poor. During his eight-year period of office, he made large investments in education in the state. He also initiated new road construction, required to meet the needs of the fast-growing population of the state.

The Oloye Tinubu, alongside a new deputy governor, Femi Pedro, won re-election to office as Governor in April 2003. All other states in the South West fell to the People’s Democratic Party.

He was involved in a struggle with the Federal government over whether Lagos State had the right to create new Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) to meet the needs of its large population.

The controversy led to the Federal government seizing funds meant for local councils in the state. During the later part of his term in office, he was engaged in continuous clashes with PDP powers such as Adeseye Ogunlewe, a former Lagos State senator who became minister of works, and Bode George, southwest chairman of the PDP.
Relations between Bola Tinubu and deputy governor Femi Pedro became increasingly tense after Pedro declared his intention to run for the gubernatorial elections. Femi Pedro competed to become the AC candidate for governor in the 2007 elections, but withdrew his name on the eve of the party nomination. He defected to the Labour Party while still keeping his position as deputy governor. Tinubu’s tenure as Lagos State Governor ended on 29 May 2007 when Babatunde Fashola of the Action Congress took office. Fashola had been Chief of Staff to Bola Tinubu.

Today, the great legacy of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is built on by his successor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), who served as his Chief of Staff. Continuation of Tinubu’s outstanding policies makes the present administration of Lagos State an exceptional and the foremost Government in Nigeria.
The Jagaban Borgu still marches on in the political landscape of the country, with a resolve to take on any challenging task with positive public to reduce poverty among his people.

Following the victory by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the April 2007 elections, Bola Tinubu was active in negotiations to bring together the fragmented opposition parties into a “mega-party” capable of challenging the PDP in 2011. In July 2009, he called for implementation of electoral reforms spelled out in the Uwais report to ensure that the 2011 elections would be as free and fair as the elections of 1993 had been. In December 2009 there were reports that Babatunde Fashola and Bola Tinubu had fallen out over the issue of whether Fashola should run for reelection in 2011, with Tinubu said to be supporting the Commissioner for Environment, Muiz Banire.
Tinubu formed a new party alongside Muhammadu Buhari a party which was named All Progressive congress (APC). The goal was to build a stronger party to get rid of the ruling party PDP.
In 2015 Tinubu’s target became a success as APC won the presidential elections and most of the polls across the country.
Tinubu is married to Oluremi Tinubu, the current Senator of central Lagos State. His youngest daughter, Abibat Tinubu, graduated from a Music college in Boston.

Wake up! man! this things you have mentioned are just hear say, until you experience it yourself, it's just bulllshit. how did you know that boko harams use charms? and if they use charms as you have claimed, why do Nigerian government need weapons to kill them, perhaps Nigerian government should Accquire their own charms too, why do boko harams even need weapons, if they have effective charms or Any any charms. does that even make sense?

I was born and raised in East london, by Nigerian parents in all my years of growing up in east london i ve never come across Charms or whatever the hell they are, dropped infront of someone's door, the road sweepers will throw the gabbage at the back of their refuse truck.


You may claim to be a christian but you are not entirely sure you are.

Me? i am not a christian, i am not religious, No wonder you are paranoid, you believe all that fairytales in that contradictory book called bible written in English by white people.
I bet you believe that snakes can talk too, and managed to confuse Adam and eve

I rest my case.

I am a Christian but you are an infidel and that make's you push your self worth and believe unnecessarily.

However, I was born in Lagos Island and have travelled to several countries outside the shores of Nigeria, even taking my my family along on every trip; But do note that I have met lots of people of different races, different religion and non unbelievers.

I even have nothing less that 20 relatives in the UK alone. ( Some have been in the UK before Nigeria independence).

Let go back the bone of contention;

If you actually grew up in London and move around/relate with people of different races then you will know that their are people that practice such in the UK.

Do remember the case of the little boy who's tursk was found in river Thames in 2001? Uk.

The detective called him Adam back then but investigations later revealed that his name was Patrick Erhabor and the detective found out that he was sacrificed!

The above happened in the UK and you claim such only happen in Africa!!!!! Try and visit the web or the library close to so as to dig up this case and also to get more info about black magic.

As per boko haram using charms; Several years ago, I saw some videos of biko haram gun fight with Nigeria army and their raid on communities in the North and it is evident that charms exist as people, boko haram and a particular Nigerian soldier was shot at at very close range but the bullets did touch or hit them.

Boko haram tied some people and placed them on a bridge and shot at them at close range; all others died but a young guy didn't die or get injured and the had to tie a heavy stone to him and throw him into the flowing river below the bridge.

Furthermore, do note that because you didn't see or encounter such don't mean it ain't real.

I have people of different races working with me and I hear from people that that do in the apartment given to them; especially Indians.

Finally, i believe that most of you guys become what you like, because you feel that GOD neglected you or failed you fail to understanding that there is what is called GOD's time and also season for everything.

gypsey:
You see how you have contradicted yourself?


You believe in charms.

But ended with God pass them all. You can not believe that God pass them all and still believe that Charms are Effective.

That means you don't believe God pass them all.

Make your mind up what exactly you believe.


I if you want to believe that charms are effective, that's up to you. And if you haven't touched it to experience the effect, how then did you know that they are effective? can you confirm personally that the charms can harm anyone? have you witnessed charms do anything? or is it just hears say you are based on?

As i ve said, i am not going near that gabbage, if charms really works go and prepare it with gold and silver. And how did you even know what are the requirements in making charms? what makes you think it cannot be prepare with gold and silver?

You have based all your believes on sheer assumptions and paranoia.


why is it that it is only in Africa/Nigeria charms are effective?

If they are that effective, use them to get rid off poverty and boko harams.

All

You're a funny dude

How did I contradict myself? When the holy books made mention of good and evil? Magic and witchcraft? Even there are English words for them! ( Meaning that the white man know they are real).

As if I do such; GOD forbid but I have seen lots of things that are more than what words can express.

Just pray that GOD don't allow the occults use you to make an example or as a a means of testing the efficacy of their charms.

As per boko haram; Several members boko haram uses charms and using the charm to fight charms is a long thing.

Finally; you said only in Africa do charms work!!!


Na na na.!!! It is used by the occults all over the world but they are called different names in different countries e.g. juju/voodo/hoodoo/black magic/witchcraft etc

try and do a little research and get back.

As per my religion; I am a Christian.

gypsey:
Bullsheet! why would anyone go near that gabbage? let alone touch it with their hands. people want to touch block of Golds and diamonds not that Rubbish.


And oh! ask yourself, why are your so called charms are Never prepared with Gold, Silver and diamonds? Why always in a dirty stinking cranky bowls full with gabbage?

crap crap crap!

You're a funny dude! You wanna touch gold and diamonds but don't want to touch juju/charms which you claim ain't real!! Why prepare them with gold or diamonds when it's not part of the requirement?

Ok try and be picking money from the sacrifices that have money inside them and see how things go!!!

Seeing is believing so why not go touch them to prove your point that they are rubbish? Try post the pictures of you touching them on nairaland and then post your picture a year later so that we can try see the difference

As why do they put it in dirty things; they who put them in it know why, but ask yourself the below questions;

Why do you have to go to school?

Why do you have to speak when you can use signs to communiate?

Why do you need a birth certificate?

Why do need an international passport and a visa to travel to other countries which requires travel visa?

Why are some people black while others are white, brown etc?

How can you place a call across to someone with your mobile phone and he picks the call and hear your voice clearly?

Why would 20 or more people pray to GOD for something but not all of them gets what they prayed for?

Why do people do do charms even in this civilized time and age if it doesn't work for them or work for someone they know?


My 1cent; As per juju/charms/voodoo/hoodoo/black majic etc; things happen under the heavens and some are beyond human comprehension.

Because you don't believe or have not witnessed it evil don't mean it ain't real.

There are a lot of fakes but the real ones are still out there but GOD pass them all.

donstan18:
Only an ignorant person will say that charms aren't real.

Yes O, true talk.
