A surfeit of facts you meant to say.

God help you with facts gathering on Nigerian politicians.
One minute you quoted power generation of 5,000 Megawatts, claiming it's true. I slapped you with the obvious and you turned around saying you don't argue over politicians, even while asking me to put up Jonathan's and Buhari’s campaign promises to compare. And you don't argue over politicians.

It seems you were born yesterday.

I don't argue over politicians. Just post all Buhari campaign promises.... Post GEJ own in 2011 too and tell​ us the difference
I figured, judging by your sobriquet. Just so you know, this is not an argument about politicians but facts. We are not all dummies, you know?

Buhari is a huge failure, no doubt. Jonathan, well, the greater failure between the duo. Take that to the bank.

Well said.
Our highest power generation ever is 4,600 Megawatts. I understand Makati must stay relevant as he is being shoved aside, but peddling lies and falsehood just to drive home nothing?

If someone reads through this crazy release now, one would think Jonathan provided the country with 5k Megawatts all through his 6 years administration, when in reality, it is false.

The 'victory' over Boko Haram is as a result of the armaments bought during the tenure of Jonathan but the recession is caused by the APC-led administration. Idiots.

Can KOWA or Hope just play oppositions already. The PDP still thinks it is relevant. Perhaps, the crazy power tussle in the PDP can also be ascribed to the APC-led administration.
Politics › Buhari’s Success Claim, Insult To Intelligence Of Nigerians, Says PDP by Sanchez01(op): 5:54am On Apr 17, 2017
The Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described President Muhammadu Buhari’s claims in his Easter message, to having met the expectations of Nigerians as an insult on their intelligence.

Its spokesman, Dayo Adeyeye, yesterday said the comments from Mr. President are to say the least untrue and unfair to Nigerians, who have been at the receiving end of his government’s mismanagement in the last two years.

On the war against Boko Haram, Adeyeye reiterated that the armaments procured by former President Goodluck Jonathan are what are still being used to prosecute the war.

Adeyeye added that current administration has also abused the Presidential Initiative for the North East (PINE) created by Jonathan, which covered all sectors in the rehabilitation efforts for the zone with comprehensive project cost and partnership.

“PINE under the APC’s watch has been a monumental disaster with allegations of contract scams while the internally displaced persons (IDPs) endure daily hardship and starvation. Tragically, we are yet to see the outcome of the investigation on the Nigeria’s fighter jet bombing of the IDP Camp in Borno State killing more than 200 persons.

On the war against corruption, the party’s spokesman, said like other policies and programmes of the APC administration, it has failed as well. He said: “The entire anti-corruption war of the APC since inception is just in the media with only one conviction. Many of the cases in the courts have been set aside and suspects discharged and acquitted while others are in the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Department of State Services (DSS) detention centres without trial, in violation of their fundamental human rights as enshrined in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The Makarfi-led PDP insisted that the recession we are experiencing today is as a result of the failure of the APC-led administration to properly manage our economy.

“The Buhari government is indeed clueless and had no economic plan until March 2017 when it launched the so called ‘recovery plan.’

The economy is at a standstill. Major infrastructural developments that began with the previous administrations of the PDP have been abandoned. Power generation has dwindled from over 5,000mw in 2015 to the present all time low of less than 2,000mw. The only project of note this government has ever commissioned is the Abuja- Kaduna railroad, which was 99 percent completed by the PDP administration.

Culture › Re: Olorogun: Origin And How It Became Accepted In Urhoho/isoko by Sanchez01(m): 3:59pm On Apr 16, 2017
Interesting piece, Matty. The word for chief in Yoruba is 'Oloye' and not Olorogun. However, you are very correct about Olorogun being of Yoruba origin. My Yoruba is sound enough to transliterate Olorogun as 'someone of rivalry' or 'owner of rivalry' (oni+orogun).

Quite frankly, the transliteration above is far from the original meaning of the word itself. Oloroguns are of Ife/Oyo origin. They are special kinds of chiefs that tend to act as judges which specialize in settling minor disputes within their quarters. Perhaps dispute settler or something.

Olorogun, also known as 'Ologun', is a member of a social class of warriors in Yoruba land. In reality, the Olorogun overshadows the Ogbeni. An Ologun or Olorogun usually wears an unusually long cap.

What I don't understand is why an Urhobo speaking part is called 'Orogun'. According to the Yorubas, someone who comes from such a place would called Olorogun, but then, it does not explain how the likes of Michael Ibru got his name. I really don't know much in this aspect. Perhaps he was given this title in Lagos, having spent most of his life there, I'm not sure.

Though it is on record that the Old Benin dynasty came in contact with Yorubas from Ilé-Ifẹ̀ and also some during Benin's invasion on Lagos.

The assailants were said to have invaded the residence at about 12 am, shooting sporadically into the building.

After the rain of bullet that lasted over one hour, two of the vehicles parked within the premises were damaged, while part of the building was also destroyed...

“At about midnight we started hearing gunshot. They fired more than 200 rounds of bullet into the house. This attempt to kill me will not stop me from speaking the truth.

Let me blow your mind... all of those things you read about the Colonel that started KFC are not REALLY true. Most of them are just speculations.

You can ask google.

To think that he was broke and all of a sudden started KFC is a total lie. So please research before you conclude.

I know that no time is late to become successful... but how many people can have such perseverance without giving up? smiley
Wrong! Your assertion is totally false. He was indeed broke and started in a humble, but innovative way. His life story is not 'just speculation'. I think you should devote time into reading about Harland Sanders.

Sports › Everton Player Ross Barkley Who Has Nigerian Roots Suffer Racism by Sanchez01(op): 1:53pm On Apr 15, 2017
-Everton Bans UK Sun from Goodison Park
-Barkley likened to a drug dealer.

After a controversial column about the midfielder, the newspaper has been banned from "all areas" of Everton's operation.

After a controversial column about the midfielder, the newspaper has been banned from "all areas" of Everton's operation

Everton have banned The Sun newspaper from Goodison Park following comments made about Ross Barkley by columnist Kelvin MacKenzie.

In a piece published on Friday, MacKenzie likened Everton midfielder Barkley - who has a Nigerian grandfather - to a gorilla.

His remarks came after a video emerged of Barkley being attacked in a Liverpool bar following Everton's 4-2 win over Leicester City on Sunday.

MacKenzie also alleged that men on similar wages to Barkley in Liverpool were "drug dealers".

The Sun has since apologised and suspended MacKenzie, but that has not stopped Everton from taking action against the publication.

A statement from the club read: "Yesterday Everton Football Club informed The Sun newspaper it was banned from Goodison Park, the USM Finch Farm training ground and all areas of the club's operation.

"Whilst we will not dignify any journalist with a response to appalling and indefensible allegations, the newspaper has to know that any attack on this city, either against a much respected community or individual, is not acceptable."

Since the column's publication, MacKenzie has denied allegations his article constituted racism.

He told the Press Association: "I had no idea of Ross Barkley's family background and nor did anybody else. For the mayor of Liverpool [Joe Anderson] and a handful of others to describe the article as racist is beyond parody."

Your nigeria is doomed already,do you ever wonder why the largest refugee(IDP) camp in Africa is in the north east of nigeria, not mention the new one Springing up in Oshogbo,even when no country has declared war on them?
Ask yourself, are the 'Biafrian states' any better? Onitsha and Abia are considered as slums by the United Nations and Onitsha is described as the city with the world's worst air. My point exactly? The entire country is not doing well, save for a state or two and this has nothing to do with blind sentiments.

Perhaps you want to tell me the world declared war on Onitsha and Abia state to make them unsafe and unhealthy for humans? Until we get our priorities right, we'll keep running in circles.

We don't need them to agree. The main reason they have been unfazed about restructuring is because we have not come out as one to voice out on this. Every region in this country is blessed, regardless, and we just have to look for a better way to making sense out of the madness we call democracy.

- Pepe and Varane remain unavailable for the Spanish giant after failing to recover in time for the second leg in Spain.
- Zidane has announced that Isco would start in place of Bale, following his best ever performance against Sporting Gijon at the weekend.

Bayern Munich

Politics › Re: Anambra State During The War (pix) by Sanchez01(m): 5:14pm On Apr 14, 2017
Seeing these pictures ALWAYS take my mind to JP Clark's 'The Casualties'. Nigeria seemed the victor but the entire country pays today. Even after the collapse of the Aburi Accord, Ojukwu could have avoided the war but he could not as his motive was purely political. Most people don't even know what was contained in the Accord, yet, you see them say Gowon didn't honour the Accord from his end.

Aburi accord is as follows:

"Members agree that the legislative and executive authority of the Federal Military Government should remain in the Supreme Military Council, to which any decision affecting the whole country shall be referred for determination provided that where it is possible for a meeting to be held the matter requiring determination must be referred to military governors for their comment and concurrence.

Specifically, the council agreed that appointments to senior ranks in the police, diplomatic, and consular services as well as appointment to superscale posts in the federal civil service and the equivalent posts in the statutory corporation must be approved by the Supreme Military Council.

The regional members felt that all the decrees passed since January 15, 1966, and which detracted from previous powers and positions of regional governments, should be repealed if mutual confidence is to be restored."
Truth is, the Accord had been agreed upon by all parties present, but its demands were much sensible, save for the number three which had not favoured Ojukwu, hence, the need to 'restart' the said decrees. Gowon prolly never understood what he signed until he returned to Nigeria and while Ojukwu was hell bent on seeing that the Accord was upheld, he never had prior plans for the war, save for tension everywhere and rumours of an eventual war which had settled most areas. It explains why the aftermath was too devastating, particularly towards the children from the Eastern Region.

The interesting part here is, Ojukwu had a fair amount of food supply. And rather than ration the food among the people, particularly the children, the Eastern Military top officials at the time had more than enough for themselves and their families, just as Ojukwu. 'Personal stack-ups' didn't happen until the Nigerian government captured oil facilities in Port Harcourt. And with the leaked photographs of starving children, the international communities could not help but wade into the sad experience by sending relief items, which clearly didn't do much. In reality, the war was more important to Ojukwu than the welfare of the people he governed at the time.

The war should have ended the moment Port Harcourt was blocked, but no, it continued for almost two more years, leading to massive deaths by starvation. The rest of the story, we all know.

Oil remains a curse to Nigeria. Had it not been found or discovered, there would have been no war in the first place. And for those choosing death or biafra, I'd suggest you take some time to see the several videos on YouTube.

PS: Biafra, till date, remains a political tool, just like it was back then. Our call should be something much more similar but sophisticated than the Aburi Accord - True Federalism and Resource Control. Until then, we might just be running in a vicious cycle. In the end, we all remained casualties.

grin grin grin grin grin

Lol! The Ballon d'Or is about 50% certain at this time, all thanks to the century mark. If we complete the riot on Tuesday, then there's no stopping Real for the dozen. The La Liga pressure has eased now, particularly after Barcelona's loss, and with a game still at hand, the el Clasico might not do much as it is a must win for Barce. Unfortunately, the Barce team is heavily disadvantaged as Neymar would be missing due to suspension. And with that horrible back line, the BBC might have a field day even though Barcelona would respond to goals.

All I want him to do come Tuesday is do a brace against Bayern, if possible, an hat-trick. As it stands, there is no stopping the centurion. Just call him legend cool

OP, this for yhu
That is stupidity, if you ask me. Even the white folks he is trying to imitate would either catch the scorpion and set if free far from their homes or simply keep it as a pet. It's like seeing a cobra feeding on a bullfrog and then you snap the rare scene, walk away and come on here to post it, claiming you don't want to disturb nature, when in reality, all these happened just beside your house. In the end, nature would disturb you, that's the implication.

Only about 25 of the 1,500 known species of scorpions can deliver stings that are fatal to humans. And most of these potentially lethal scorpions can't kill healthy adults, although their neurotoxins can cause such troubling symptoms as convulsions and shortness of breath. In most cases, the non lethal sting of some scorpions are capable of causing asphyxia which leads to death.

It is noble he that he did not 'disturb' nature but it is stupidity walking away from the scene just like that since it is close to his house.

OP, just be on the lookout. Keep sachets of sugary things away from your premises henceforth, particularly crushed sugar cane stalks and seasoning wrappers. This big scorpion is capable of killing as opposed to the tiny ones around. You don buy market.

Criistiano Ronaldo scored twice in the second half to lead Real Madrid to a 2-1 win at Bayern Munich in UEFA Champions League quarterfinal play on Wednesday.

Bayern Munich couldn't overcome a missed penalty kick and had to finish a man down as Javi Martinez was sent off in the 61st minute. He had two yellow cards in rapid succession in the second half and his second, for a reckless foul, comes with the red.

Midfielder Arturo Vidal put Bayern ahead early with a goal in the 25th minute. He also squandered a chance to double the lead when he missed a penalty kick late in the first half.

Bayern have been handed a seemingly difficult but possible task at the Santiago.
