racism!

with hubby to be

he reminds me of yekini - or rather, yekini reminds me of him

the situation is very clear. He was murdered. He had been depressed for two years but never died. How come he only died after his family members took him away? Even on the day they came to take him away, he had just driven himself into his compound when they arrived and chained him. Is it possible for a mad man to drive? The truth of the matter is that his family were after his wealth and they knew the only way thy could gain access to it was to kill him

Yekini's Corpse Must Be Exhumed -Wife

ONE of the wives of former Nigerian international Rashidi Yekini, Rita, has demanded that the body of the late Nigerian striker be exhumed for autopsy.

Rita, based in the United Kingdom, was in Ira, Kwara State, on Wednesday, in company of the daughter she bore for Rashidi Yekini, to pay their last respects to the late player.

However, a family source confided in Saturday Tribune-sports that Rita was enraged by the stories she heard about the way Rashidi died and in altercation with the family members, demanded that his corpse be exhumed for proper autopsy.

When Rita informed Rashidi's relatives of her trip to Ira, those who know her sensed that she was not going to take the issue lying low.

Inciden-tally, Yekini's family is said to hold Rita in high esteem as they got in touch with her immediately Rashidi died.

''Rita is the person who broke the news of the death of Rashidi to most of his friends in Nigeria, the family really has a lot of respect for her.''

Saturday Tribunesports gathered that Rita had been briefed on the circumstances surrounding Yekini's death, as she had earlier called that the burial be delayed until she arrived Nigeria.

However, Rashidi, being a muslim, was interred the following day after his death.

Tribunesports findings revealed that Yekini's relatives stormed his home located at Oni and Sons area of Ibadan on Tuesday, April 10, to take him away for treatment as he was claimed to have mental crisis. Neighbours claimed Yekini resisted being taken away and this led to a scuffle, suggesting he must have struggled with his captors till he died.

i don't believe the rubbish but here is the picture the newspaper published

Image123: If Adeboye teaches him the Word, he has all right to seek his messages all over. There's time for everything, time to listen to messages, time to read Bible, time to post on NL.

Joagbaje: Goshen ,it's time you start listening to other preachers. Your solo christianity is affecting you . God has set in the body pastors and teachers. Why will you look down on such ministry. Very body reads the bible but there's still need for someone anointed to teach . You are looking down on the ministry of the holyghost in the church . Pual materials were widely circulated in the early church days . Even Peter Got some copies . Don't get into extreme. We know in part.

thanx guys! i don't even need to defend myself any more. You guys have done the job for me. You guys are very wise. God bless you folks!

i need your help on this folks

personally, i don't think he can, and i'm sure he wouldn't at the olympics - what are your thoughts ?

buzugee: i beg to differ with pastor Chris

EXODUS 4 VS 11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?

DEUTERONOMY 28 VS 61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

DEUTERONOMY 28 VS 59[b] Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.[/b]

i don't normally comment on all these pastor chris threads but i felt an urge to say a thing or two about this issue. Now, i believe pastor chris is RIGHT. Back in the days of the old testament, God used sickness to punish people when they disobeyed him, but we are now living in the dispensation of grace that is why in the new testament we were told "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:" (Galatians 3:13 KJV)
so we are no longer under the previous law. Christ has died for us so we are no longer bound by the previous law and as such, God would not use sickness on us again
'Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.' (1 Peter 2:24 KJV)

NB: @buzugee; notice that all your scriptures are from the OLD TESTAMENT. you won't find anything like that in the new testament

I believe the popular notion that There was a gang up against Yekini by the 1994 squad is false. My reasons? If you noticed after he scored the goal he scored against Bulgaria in our first match, three members of the team came to congratulate him. Also hear what his former team mate Mutiu Adepoju had to say

There is also the need to correct the misconception that there was a gang up against him. “No! There was nothing like such because what happen was that most times at the 1998 Word Cup in France, he was at the twilight of his career and as such, was often on the bench. Outside this, everybody was happy with the situation and no more no less.”

The Sad End Of Rashidi Yekini: How He Spent His Last Days

. Neighbours Allege Foul Play!

The Man Rashid Yekini

Long before Rashidi Yekini, Nigeria’s highest goal scorer of all time passed on on Friday, there had been a lot of speculations about his health, especially the mental aspect of it. Quite a number of people opined that the former Super Eagle was depressed. Street Journal’s findings however revealed that contrary to what was being speculated, Yekini might not have suffered from any mental illmess, rather he was misunderstood by many, his fans inclusive. While many claimed he suffered depression which resulted in a bipolar disorder, people in his neighbourhood claim Yekini was a man who would rather wish to be left alone.

For instance, many wondered why he chose to live alone in his Ring Road twin duplex, near Oni and Sons Children’s Hospital. His only companions there were the peacocks that strolled about in his compound, having fired his security man months before his death.

Street Journal’s revealed that the late Goals King was betrayed by a very close friend way back in the 1980s when he played for Africa Sports of Cote d’ Ivoire. Back then, Yekini maintained a flat in Liberty Road where he housed one of his close friends. Street Journal found out that those days, he had the habit of keeping cash at home. On his return at the end of one Ivorian playing season, he discovered that his good friend had depleted his cash reserve and when he asked, the friend could barely account for half of the money. Though no noise was made about the money, the friend moved out and got himself accommodation elsewhere. Not long after, the friend bought a Peugeot 505 while Yekini still made use of the 504 he was given alongside other players of Abiola Babes by the clubs proprietor, Bashorun MKO Abiola. Street Journal’s findings revealed that the occurrence contributed a great deal to the paranoia displayed by the former international till he breathed his last.



His Failed Marriage

Yekini’s marriage lasted barely three weeks as he fell out with his wife just after their honeymoon and they never made up till he died. Not a few of Yekini’s admirers were surprised when they heard that after his honeymoon abroad, the footballer and his wife returned home separately. The wife arrived first and by the time Rashidi arrived about four days later, neighbours could hear him asking what the woman was still doing in his house. He was quoted as saying the woman used juju on him and that the effect of the charms have expired. Within minutes, he started throwing the woman’s properties out. That was the end of the marriage. He however had children from other relationships.



Was He Really Misunderstood?

Many of those who knew Rashidi Yekini will attest to the fact that he had a different way of doing things. When he lived in Liberty Road, many wondered why he would burn items he no longer needed instead of giving them out. He would stay in front of his house then and burn jerseys, boots, video tapes and old stuff.

Moving to Ring Road did not change his attitude.

A neighbour recalled that Yekini once set fire to a refrigerator and some of his furniture. That was what sparked off rumours that he had gone mad.

Another reason that fuelled speculations about his mental health was that he lived all alone in a twin duplex. The security man that used to live with him was fired about 8 months ago. So whenever he wanted to go out, he would open the gate, drive out and lock the gates behind him.

His Routine

Yekini spent most of his time at the Obafemi Awolowo (formerly Liberty) Stadium where he did keep fit exercises. He would jog round the fit in the mornings and at times he would train with clubs on the field. Sometimes he would decide to swim.

On his way back, he would stop in his neighbourhood to buy bread or snack and when he feels like he could spare a minute or two to talk to one or two people in the neighbourhood, especially when he is greeted.



Why Neighbours Alleged Foul Play

Street Journal’s findings revealed that Yekini never really had friends that came to look for him. He did not allow his family members to get too close too. One of his old neighbours in Liberty Road disclosed that “there was a time one of his younger brothers came from Kaduna or somewhere in the North, but because he was not being expected, he was not allowed in. The guy slept outside the flat and went back the following morning.”

Another incident was also recalled in Ring Road when a woman (apparently Yekini’s sister) came in a Peugeot 504 and when she knocked the gate, the former Super Eagles star saw her and screamed in Yoruba “ki lo wa se? Ta lo ni koo wa? Shebi mo si send owo si yin ni last month.” A neighbour disclosed that the woman went back in the vehicle that brought her and that it was Mutiu Adepoju, who was with him then that gave the woman some money.

Street Journal’s findings revealed that the only people Rashidi associated with in his neighbourhood were the poor ones. He formed a habit of giving out raw rice and vegetable oil to some of them in the neighbourhood. At times he would give out money in envelopes and some of the beneficiaries confirmed that at times they found as much as N 10,000 in such envelopes.

An elderly man in the neighbourhood spoke to Street Journal in Yoruba, he said “iku re dun mi, o ka mi lara ju ti maa mi gaan lo. Ko fe ki ebi o pa mekunu. Nigba mii to ba fun yin ni envelope bayi, bee ba sii, owo gidi lee ba nbe” (his death hit me really hard, even harder than that of my mum. He never wanted the poor to go hungry. Sometimes he would give you an envelope and when you open it, you will find out its good money).

Yekini’s neighbours disputed claims that he was mad. One of the people who shared fences with him said “if he was mad, he would not go and engage a labourer to cut the grass in front of his compound when it is due, a mad man will not put on his generator to watch European Champions League games and how would a mad man drive a car and go to the stadium to do exercise? Someone who is mad will definitely not be able to coordinate such activities.”

Street Journal gathered that he was last seen at home on Easter Day. Some of his neighbours say they suspect foul play because his family members who he never really trusted were the ones that came to take him away that day. Some of them told Street Journal that they didn’t allow him to know they were coming and they waited quietly in the neighbourhood. Immediately he drove in and was about to open the gate, he saw them and before he could ask what they wanted, they charged at him and put restraints on his legs. “We were wondering what was going on because the guy wasn’t crazy, he was sound, at least he could coordinate his activities, so why bind him under the guise of taking him for treatment? I think there is more to it. He was even crying for help that day begging that people should not allow them to take him away. I think a post mortem examination should be conducted to determine the actual cause of his death,” one of Yekini’s neighbours told Street Journal.

Street Journal gathered that he was taken away in his green Toyota Corolla and that was the last the neighbours saw of him.



His Playing Career

Rashidi Yekini holds the record of Nigeria’s highest goal scorer with 37 goals as a member of Nigeria’s senior national team, the Super Eagles. He scored Nigeria’s first ever World Cup goal in a match against Bulgaria at the 1994 edition in USA.

He started his soccer career as a 17 year-old with the UNTL of Kaduna after which he moved to the Shooting Stars of Ibadan. He played for Abiola Babes of Abeokuta and after the club was disbanded, he moved to Ivory Coast where he laced boots for Africa Sports. After three seasons in Cote d’ Ivoire, he moved to Victoria Setubal in Portugal and in he scored 90 goals in his 108 appearances for the club.

His career suffered a dip in 1994 after an injury and his moves to clubs like Olympiakos (Greece), Sporting Gijon (Spain), FC Zurich (Switzerland) never really paid off. In 2002, he returned to Nigeria where he played for Julius Berger FC. After a stint with Gateway FC, he retired and continued his quiet life in Ibadan.

RIP Rashidi!

Kindly report the father to the Social Security Department fast!

well, let's get one thing clear. While this is a funny development, the deputy governor has a right to own an office. Former governors e.g. Rasheed Ladoja of Oyo State has an office. You guys should know too that former governors and their deputies are still entitled to state security BUT what is actually wrong about the picture is the fact that the former governor is using the state insignia i.e. the Nigerian Coat of Arms. That is wrong. He can have a private office, but devoid of any state apparatus

'If this is the kind of love that my mum use to warn me about, then I'm in trouble, I'm in real trouble'. This is a line in Wyclef's '911' song which featured Mary J Blige

Last week Saturday, Nigeriafilms.com reported about the new craze of Eniola Badmus popularly called Gbogbo Big Girlz for teenage artiste, David Adeleke better known as Davido.

On Sunday, we got a picture of the both Davido and Eniola Badmus together. We learnt that both later met on Saturday night before and after Davido's show in Canada as Eniola has wanted with her tweets that day.

Both later tweeted on twitter that night after the show about being alone in the room.

Davido first tweeted 'I'm alone in my room not safe'. Some minutes later, Eniola tweeted 'Am ill alone in my room.'

Rumour has it that both were seen in an uncompromising positions at Windsor Arms Hotel, Toronto, Canada on Saturday night.

Some hours ago, Davido tweeted, 'All this travelling has finally gotten to me. [I am] feeling really sick! goodnight, pray for me to get better.'

Just about two hours later, Eniola tweeted, 'All this travelling has finally gotten to me. Really sick! pray for me to get better.'

Do we call this twitter love?
