if any good protest must have the backing of law,then tell me which law is greater than the law that the whole world agreed to that backs indigenous people with the right to freedom, and self governance...###?

Did you read any news today about several groups who would be protesting against Trump and that these groups of about 270k people have all been approved to protest? If you didn't, please search one of the topics concerning Trump's inauguration on FP.

About the 'whole world agreeing on aaw that backs an indigenous people', does it include protesting without getting approvals? Everyone is entitled to self determination, but until you go the proper way of calling for a referendum while your people who are politicians in the Houses also align and stand, everything is all but a child's play. The place of history has not been duly registered in the mind here.

jidxin:
but did dey inform d police dat dey will stage a protest? now dey erred in law if dey ddnt....dey re just unlearned nd illiterates

I was bout typing this when I saw your comment? Sadly, some of them chose to end their lives because they are not learned to know that A GOOD PROTEST MUST HAVE THE BACKING OF LAW. It's a pity though.

Abagworo:
The sad truth is that more people will die in vain for being brainwashed by radio biafra. I wish they'll be sensible enough to understand that they are being deceived by politicians who lost power in 2015.

God bless you.

RIP to the dead. Unfortunately they're gone. They woke up today and chose to die. How bad can it get?

Ishilove:
So what is your real name?

I wee nur just talk

Ten12:
Those parties are good with great ideas but they don't have the kind of structure that cuts across every state and LG that can help them win a presidential election...forces must come together if we really want the confused man out..mega party is an option and a refined PDP a choice...nigerians must agree that we have a common enemy...that is the man who goes on vacation when his country is on recession

Tell me what would be 'refined' in a new PDP That they would become saints overnight just because they don't associate with the name 'PDP' again, just like the APC?

We have had so many thieving crooks cross carpet from one party to another under the guise of floating a new party. Saraki tops the list. Our common enemy is corruption and not a party. After all, the PDP makes up the APC o today. New party, new mantra, same old corrupt, tired, recycled old men whose only interest is our collective resources.

We voted Buhari, all thanks to GEJ's ineptitude. A party made up of reasonable youths with sound ideologies is our only redemption to a glorious redemption. How would we even get there when majority of these youths have sold their reasoning to politicians for paltry sums?

Kyase:
When will you start using your real name sanchez

Do I know you?

Ten12, I was never a fan of Jonathan and I am not till this day. My point exactly, is that as 'bad' as he was, he stayed back in the country to spend his leave, just like Yar'Adua did.

Buhari is an insensitive leader, an anomaly we must make right come 2019. I pray the likes of KOWA and HOPE push reasonable people to pilot their parties.

As a country, I believe Buhari lied to us under the aegis of 'Change'. For a man who is grossly insensitive to the plight of Nigerians, having shown that he is not only biased in his dealings, but also remains one of the most terrible leaders this country has ever produced.

I see no reason why he should not stay in Nigeria for his leave.

For your information, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has commenced a week-long break from his usual work routine from today (Monday, April 2, 2012). This was disclosed in a press statement signed by Mr. Reuben Abati, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity.

According to the statement, the Presidential will remain in Abuja during the period of his leave and will “continue to deal with all essential affairs of state.”

Mr Abati said that Mr Jonathan will return to his regular office routine after the Easter holidays.

Jobless folks

These are supposed to be people's boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, husbands, sons and daughters. What a shame

proudlyYoruba:
competition and selfishness are two different things dude.

Sorry, it seems you don't understand the art of success. Kindly read 48 Laws of Power to understand this.

The ronaldo of manchester united was the best ronaldo we had not this one who hits the ball angrily inside net when his team scored just because he couldn't.

Your opinion. However, any objective lover of football would tell you that the Ronaldo of Man United is not even close to the present. Ever wondered why he played second fiddle to Messi when he left United for Madrid for almost four seasons despite scoring over 50 goals? The corporate world does not care about what you do, so long results are coming in.

Ronaldo is skillful, has shot and energetic, messi is a playmaker he has proved that times without number. The fact is if neymar and suarez are madrid players he bet they cannot perform as they do now rather than suarez to score he will pass to ronaldo

Well, you have a point here. But then understand that Ronaldo is not a playmaker but a winger who has defied all odds to become a lethal force which most goalkeepers dread.

proudlyYoruba:
am sorry do you want to compare Agentina to portugal. When ronaldo does not score we know how he behaves.

Did you just start watching football? Everyone knows Ronaldo is probably the most competitive footballer alive.He doesn't hide the fact that he is unhappy when he is, particularly when he doesn't score goals which he is known for. Why do you think he has made it this far?

Sowore would be the last person Linda would want to go against. SR might just end up beaming their Searchlight over her while Wizkid's issue could be resurrected. I hope Linda is wise enough to stay out of this one.

psucc:
Even as VP he is shut out of important meetings so do not see him taking any decision than to give condolences should any sad event occur.

He has been given a long list of schedule and speeches to occupy him till the leave ends.

Lol... Unfortunately, this is true. He sure can't do or take any independent decision.

vatiqan:
I dey laugh o!





@Op, who told you that man has any power to decide for next fifteen days? Everything would be decided from London, then wired to him to just announce like the ZoneB, that he actually, is! Case closed.

Well, you have a point though. Even in the corporate world, one cannot take certain decisions that could impact the organization should the person at the helm of affairs goes on leave.

In our case, I just hope we don't get bullied by neighbouring countries, as posted by the Twitter user

Below is what a Twitter user asked following the news that the Vice President would be the acting President following the news that the President would be going on leave.

Opharhe:
Okay. I also advise you and others to join Urhobo groups on Facebook... You'll be easily carried along, no matter your location.

Would do so, soonest. Thanks.

Opharhe:
Yeah, the Iyerhi is an annual festival of the Ughelli people, though there are other ones but Iyerhi have grown to be the official Ughelli festival.

Ekene of Agbarha-Otor is another unique festival that is held once in every 15 years (heard the time has been reduced to 10yrs or so but not sure)

Sadly, I don't have enough knowledge to share about them since I've not physically experienced them before. I've only witnessed the Agbarha-Warri Odju Owhurhie festival which is commonly called "Agbassa Juju" and then some Masquerade festivals here and there especially in Otokutu, my maternal home.

Since Ughelli is my hometown, I promise to look for a description of the Ughelli festival, create a thread on it and notify you accordingly.
Thanks.

Kindly do well to post on the forum when the festivals are drawing near. I would love to witness them.

legendte:
Your argument lacks merit.
Messi is currently the highest goal scorer for Argentina at the age of 29.
Truth is that Messi makes the difference. Mourinho said that. Plying your trade in one club doesn't make you a bad player. Moving around doesn't make you a better player either.
Raul achieved success in just one club until after 30 years. Does this your point make Ryan Giggs a bad player?

In all national competition, Messi has 57 goals, while Ronaldo, 68.
Competitive games, Messi has 30, while Ronaldo has 54.

Messi was able to edge closer to Ronaldo because he scored more friendly goals than Ronaldo and then fizzle out in important matches.

Messi is good, no doubt, but he is a shadow of himself when it comes to international matches. Age has nothing to do with goal scoring. We have seen so many late peakers in the game. Bring up stats to buttress your claim against Messi being the difference in Argentina.

mykeljosef:
that one na for naija ooo



as for me na wotpotus


buhari can confirm

Your 'wotpotus' is new, I'm certain. The wife of the President of the United States is referred to as FLOTUS: First Lady of the United States, while the President is POTUS: President of the United States.

Afam4eva:
Does it imply that a Nigerian President is too powerful for a coalition of African countries to remove?

Affirmative. The truth is that Nigeria is quite huge and respected among other African countries, particularly West African countries. For so many reasons, ranging from diplomatic, political and commercial ties, no African country would have meddled in Nigeria's issue had Jonathan failed to step down.

Nigeria would have required the likes of the United Nations, a special intervention from the United States and Britain to quell the fire. Quite sad, but the truth stands, Nigerian President's are considered powerful even if everyone pretends to act like it's a coalition of West African states and their presidents.

mayoor15:
I laugh at everything you wrote there, last season barca did well till they lost the el classico, then lost 3 consecutive games, the season almost went off the rail till when the MSN rose up, Ronaldo is more of a liability to Madrid Now, look at against sevilla and celta de vigo, Madrid has lost two at a bounce, up next is Malaga, then Celta midweek then Real sociedad the weekend then I think celta again in the league, in all sincerity in Madrid next few games, they will drop a lot of points and that will affect confidence level which will definitely impact their performance in champions league, even with a game in hand, the li liga that was a week ago for real is looking shaky, advantage barca has will be d fact that they will play some big guns early in the second half of d season, if sevilla continues to do well against the top 6-7 and barca can pick up their best form, don't be surprised Madrid drop to 3rd before the end of March. About retaining the champions league....Forget it, its not happening anytime soon

Of course it's possible. After all, we are talking football here and it is very unpredictable. However, the emboldened is obviously bias and purely sentimental. CR7 has never been, and would never be a liability to any team. Players have bad days every season, but saying he is a liability when he clearly pilots the team in the absence of Bale, who completes his trio, is sheer sentiment.

Anticorruption:
same way madrid serviced ronaldo last night and still lost

Losing is all but natural.

LorDBolton:
Let him leave barca and see what guardiola is facing lols

Suddenly guardiola no humble again seeing him misbehave on the touchline vs chelsea was soo sweet.

They (pep n messi) go dey form humble cos league easy them

The truth is, Messi leaving Barcelona would be the very death of him. He does so well in Barcelona because people work for him, something the club's director said that made the club sack him recently.

If one would compare the Messi of Argentina and that of Barcelona, you would see a very sharp difference. Argentina is a star-studded side, yet they struggle even with the presence of Messi in the team. I've always said one thing about Guardiola from the outset; he is good but not as good as the world think he is.

We are not different. Though there may be variations in our dialects, it does not make us different

luwathobi:
what do you term as lie please elaborate

He claimed his motivation is Barcelona and Argentina... That's a huge lie. He might not be as competitive as Ronaldo, but I understand full well that his so-called motivation is not Argentina, as he claimed. How do you explain announcing his retirement from national football after losing to Chile in the Copa America final?

Ginaz:
I'm proudly from urhobo, all my kins "wado"

Where in Urhobo are you from?

Opharhe:
Eh! Oghene bruphiyo kewe v'emo r'Urhobo r'INairaland ejobi.

The govt., ministry of arts and culture must not pay special attention to it. There are many festivals in Urhoboland- From Iyerhi of Ughelli to Ekene of Agbarha-Otor(every 15 years) to Idju Owhurhie of Agbarha-Ame(Warri) to Edjenu of Okpara (every 30yrs or so), Ogba-Urhie of Ughievwen... The list is endless.

Let us do our thing and sell it to the world in the best way possible.

At least, I know Goge Africa has covered the Odju - Owhurhie festival of the Agbarha-Ame (Agbassa) people twice. You know what it means to get a cultural celebration covered by Goge Africa. Something or someone drew their attention.

I have also seen Mofe Damijo of Aladja In his capacity as commissioner for culture and tourism, I'm one of those occasions.

We are a majority as far as Delta state is concerned... Victim card should not be our thing at all.

Thanks fratermathy for inviting the rest. Let us celebrate our culture.

Emo r'Urhobo wadoo.

Ise! This is alien to me though. I would have traveled down to learn if I knew something like this was going to take place. Could you please create a thread to talk more about the second emboldened?

Frathermathy, never knew you were Urhobo

LorDBolton:
If madrid manage win la liga n ucl I go like see messi face when cr7 draws level on ballon d'or wins

Truth is, I see Ronaldo squaring Messi, and the dream of another UCL win is stronger. Most Pundits have tipped Madrid to retain the title, which would mean that we would be creating history by being the first team to defend the UCL title since it was modified since the 90s.

Ronaldo's motivation is Messi and vice versa. Messi is one horrible liar

“There is a mutual respect. I view him as a great player who has achieved great things because that is exactly what he is. My motivation, though, has always come from wanting to do well for Barcelona and Argentina, and the fans.”

Liar!

Anyways, we all know CR7 remains the best. There's no controversy here.

Pension funds People's sweat and blood for infrastructures Good grief!
