chei! naija peeps don suffer! this was a guy who said he wouldn't run for second term. Now if he didn't plan to run for second term, why is he bothered by the suit? As long as we have dishonest people like GEJ in power, it would always be more of the same thing. Nigeria will never change. I weep for the country

busybee24: Dont be too ambitious? Pray expand on that point

trying to obtain a doctorate degree or a proffesorship while you are still single

subsequent upon the thread 'Some Likely Reasons Why Some Girls Are Still Single', i have decided to offer my two cents to the ladies in the house - if you can note these tips and make good use of them, you will get hooked in no time

1. smile always - nothing disarms a man than a warm smile
2. dress well
3. good hygeine - fowl body odour is a big turn off for men
4. be yourself - men love ladies who can be themselves - putting up unecessary defences can turn us off cause it just shows you are pretentious
5. be friendly and sociable - wherever you find yourself, mingle with people and don't always wait for people to chat you up - being introvert can be construed as pride
6. learn to stay alone whenever you are at social gatherings - that makes it easier for men to walk up to you - clinging to friends in public is a sign of insecurity
7. when talking in public say intelligent stuff - we love intelligent ladies - if you are not familiar with a particular topic, don't start it in public
8. Show an interest in football
9. Be humble, in short, you need to have a good and Godly character - pride, rudeness, won't get you anywhere
10. Go to social events regularly, most especially church or mosque
11. Don't set high targets for yourself - remember, behind every successful man, there is a woman, so if you are eyeing a succesful man, don't forget, he already has a woman behind him who got him to where he is - look for someone who has a bright future rather than someone who is ready-made

12. Don't be too ambitious
13. Limit the number of friends you hang out with to probably two or maximum three
14. Be domesticated, e.g be a good cook
15. don't smoke or drink alcohol (if you drink, don't do it publicly)
16. Dress modestly - say 'no' to skimpy skirts and all forms of wayward dressing
17. Use make-up in moderation - excessive make up shows you are vain and implies you lack self confidence
18. Be spiritual trust in God and pray to Him always (Most Important)

If you follow these tips, you will get a life partner within six months you will have me to thank

those soldiers have no respect for women! how can they be treating a lady like that - people need to respect the feminine gender in this country! such a thing would never happen in a western country

After four years of the demise of the Olu of Ilaro, late Oba Adekambi Tella, who joined his ancestors in 2008, a pastor in one of the Lagos branches of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Kehinde Gbadewole Olugbenle has emerged the new Olu of Ilaro and paramount ruler of Yewa-Awori axis of Ogun state.

Saturday Vanguard however learnt that his candidacy which was unanimously supported by the kingmakers after an election where he won by a vote to defeat his close rival, Adedeji Olugbenle was approved by Ogun state Governor Senator Ibikunle Amosun following his reported religious and moral uprightness.

Before he was chosen as Olu of Ilaro-elect, Olugbenle has been a pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and has been observing the mandatory confinement ‘Ipebi’ which will eventually culminate in his coronation today, Saturday.

Reacting to the insinuation that the new Olu of Ilaro-elect was a member of Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, the Chairman, planning committee of the coronation, Chief Thomas Lala, denied the Oba-elect’s affiliation with the ACN, saying, his choice as the new Oba had nothing to do with his affiliation with any political party.

He also denied that, the state government pressured on the kingmakers to chose Kehinde Olugbenle as the new Olu of Ilaro, saying, ‘six people contested for the vacant stool before his candidacy was approved by His Excellency, Governor Ibikunle Amosun’.

He said, “ our Oba is not a member of any political party. He is a member of all political parties because he is a father of all. The Oba-elect is not a civil servant. It was the kingmakers that carried out the processes before the government approved his candidacy” Lala said.

On the purported court injunction restraining the government from installing the new Olu of Ilaro-elect, the Chairman said there was no court restraint, urging all stakeholders and contestants of the stool to rally round the new Oba-elect for the development of the region.

During the coronation, which holds today, (Saturday), Kehinde Gbadewole Olugbenle would be presented with the staff of office as well as certificate of coronation by the state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun.

And by the chieftaincy law in the state, the Olu of Ilaro is automatically the Paramount ruler of Yewaland, Olugbenle, a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has been observing the mandatory ‘’Ipebi” (confinement) which will eventually culminate in his coronation Saturday.

Ahead of coronation of a new Olu of Ilaro and the paramount ruler of Yewaland on Saturday, the ancient city of Ilaro, the political headquarters of Yewa is wearing a new look.

Oba Olugbenle who was quoted to have described his selection as God chosen while reacting to the perceived opposition to his choice, promising that his tenure would witness prosperous reign.

‘’He said for sometime now, unity appears to have eluded us for a long time and it is my desire that during my reign, I want to work for the unity of not only Ilaro, but the entire Yewaland.

‘’For me as the Paramount ruler of Yewaland, my choice is not accidental, but the choice of God, who knows better than all mortals”

The Ilaro town is already wearing new looks with banners, posters and various other decorations adorning different part of the town.

The coronation billed for today, Saturday will hold at the Gateway International Stadium, Ilaro, with reception later at the Empire Field with the duo of Ebenezer Obey who turned 70 last week and Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde Marshall entertaining guests.

Alleged secession plot
FG puts Aregbesola on security watch
•Allegation is PDP’s plot to destabilize South West — ACN

The Federal Government has mobilized virtually all security agencies in the country to put Osun State governor, Engr Rauf Aregbesola on 24-hour surveillance over an intelligence report generated by the Department of State Security (DSS) which accused the governor of creating an army of Islamic jihadists as a prelude to seceding from the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

A highly placed security source in Abuja told Saturday Sun that the decision to place the governor under intense security watch has become necessary following a detailed security report on him, a copy of which was obtained by Saturday Sun.
The security report, which the Federal Government is acting on, has, however, been condemned by Governor Aregbesola’s political party, Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). In a statement on Wednesday, the party described the security report as a plot by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to destabilize the South West ahead of the 2015 general elections.

Not ready to take chances over the information provided by the DSS on the activities of the governor, the Federal Government through the office of the National Security Adviser, Gen. Andrew Azazi was said to have directed all members of the Joint Intelligence Board (JIB) comprising all security, intelligence and law enforcement agencies in the country, to deploy their machinery and watch the governor round the clock.

“There is no need to be sentimental about the issue, the word secession is enough for the Federal Government to have moved in but in a democracy, federal might has to be deployed with caution to avoid a total collapse of the entire democratic structure. This is why the first option of mounting a thorough surveillance around him (Aregbesola) is being adopted,” a red neck security source explained.

Trouble started when the Director General of DSS, Mr. Ekpeyong Ita compiled a security report on the Osun governor, accusing him of trying to create a Boko Haram in Osun State through an Islamic organization called Jama’atu Ta’awunil Muslimeen Society of Nigeria (TAWUN).
A copy of the security report addressed to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. O.A Ihejirika and dated March 19, 2012, stated that “there are indications that Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State is nursing the ambition of islamizing the state. Already, he has taken control of the Jama’atu Ta’awunil Muslimeen Society of Nigeria (TA’AWUN) spearheading the use of hijab in all public schools in the state. The group founded in 1994 at Iwo by one Dawood IMRAN-MOLAASAN(Sheikh), has also spread its tentacles to Kwara, Lagos, Sokoto and Kaduna states”
The reported further stated that presently, “members of the group serve as bodyguards to the governor and are making frantic efforts to dislodge conventional security operatives from the Government House. Their unprofessional conduct is a source of embarrassment to well-meaning indigenes of the state, especially at public functions attended by the governor.”

In pursuit of the agenda, the report alleged that “the state government is planning to introduce a general uniform for all primary and secondary schools in the state that will be acceptable to the group, not minding the feelings of the Christian population. The governor has also changed the name of the state from ‘Osun State’ to ‘The State of Osun’ which is at variance with the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution.”
Other concerns raised by the report include the following:

That “the Nigerian Coat of Arms has been removed from government offices and replaced with the Coat of Arms of “The State of Osun.” The State anthem has equally replaced the Nigerian National Anthem at schools, state public functions and at the opening and closing of transmission of the State radio and television stations. The governor also deploys members of Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme (OYES) and O’clean Corps as State Police.”
That “through his activities, the governor has polarized the state along religious divides, with Muslims boasting that it is their time which they must utilize to the fullest. His involvement in the activities of TA’AWUN has emboldened the sect to invade schools to enforce the wearing of hijab by female Muslim students.”
The report expressed deep concern that the introduction of an Islamic agenda “in a secular state is an invitation to chaos, particularly against the backdrop of the growing influence of the sect in the state’s polity,” adding that “some northern governors fraternized with members of Boko Haram before they graduated to the present status.”

Concluding, the report said it is “necessary that the attention of the governor be drawn to the implications of his excesses on the security of the state. More importantly, his secessionist tendencies should be checkmated, using necessary legal and Constitutional instruments.”
Several calls made on Friday to the GSM telephone number of spokesperson of DSS, Maryln Ogar was not picked, and neither was a text message sent to her to seek the Service’s reaction on the security report, replied.

But the ACN, which apparently had got wind of the report, raised the alarm on Wednesday, describing the entire security report as a plot to set the South West on fire and soften the ground for the ruling PDP ahead of the 2015 general elections.
The party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Osun State is being targeted in the pilot scheme of this act of desperation by the PDP, which is hell bent on causing chaos in the region.

“The architects of this plot believe that unless the PDP destabilizes the South-west and gets rid of the man they see as an implacable foe of the party (PDP), the President’s putative plan to run for re-election in 2015 will be in jeopardy, especially as they are afraid – for reasons best known to them – that the President will not get the backing of the North-West and the North-East in his quest for re-election.

“The first step in the dastardly plot is the fabrication of an intelligence report alleging that Gov. Aregbesola is nursing a secessionist plan; that he now plays Osun’s anthem in place of the national anthem; that he has since dispensed with the services of the SSS operatives attached to him and replaced them with Islamic extremists called ‘Tawun’; that he has officially changed the uniforms of secondary schools in Osun, made the wearing of hijab compulsory for female students and enforces that through Islamic militants, and that he has sent militants for revolutionary training in Cuba.

“The cooked intelligence report concluded that all legal and constitutional means must be used to stop him. Reading between lines, the measures being advocated in the report could only be impeachment (this is impossible considering the clean sweep of the PDP’s footsteps in the state), creation of chaos and anarchy to pave the way for the imposition of a state of emergency in the state, or the final solution, which is physical elimination,” it said.
ACN said it listed physical elimination because of the inexplicable disappearing acts of some security agents attached to the governor in recent times, and the growing suspicious activity of some security agencies in the state.
The party, therefore, warned the plotters to desist from any act that will further threaten the tenuous peace and security in the country, while reminding them to learn from history.

”There is no iota of truth in the allegations detailed in the so-called intelligence report engineered by the PDP. No SSS operative has been sent packing and the governor neither has the intention nor possess the authority to do so; no private militia is being trained anywhere except in the warped minds of the PDP desperadoes; and no uniform change or hijab-wearing law has been passed in the state.

”We hope that the plotters remember that since the First Republic, all attempts to destabilize the South-west have ended with dire consequences for the nation. Also, such acts have always been motivated by the desperation to win federal elections. The ACN will, therefore, like to put the PDP and its collaborators on notice that it (ACN) will guard its mandate in Osun and other states jealously against political hawks. The so-called intelligence report should be shredded and packed in a dustbin where it belongs, because it is nothing but the PDP master-plan to destabilize Osun State in particular and the South-west region in general.
”We also warn the security and intelligence agencies to be independent and not to allow themselves to be used for political gains. They should put national interest above partisan or sectional interest, and remember that the PDP is not synonymous with the Nigerian nation. It is just a bull in china shop that will soon be ejected by the peoples’ votes,” the party said.

d'banj is very proud and ungrateful

now that;s funny!

there is no excuse for rudeness - it's a known fact that most 9ja ladies are rude but i've observed that it's mostly the village girls who are rude. Enlightened ladies will never be rude to you when you need help. They've learnt to take everyone at face value

why are the baby's eyes swollen?

i've had to modify my last post after realising it's malawi not mali

1. women with hairy legs
2. women with long, slightly bowed legs
3. dimples
4. tears streaming down woman's face

Hit Dan Back
A few weeks ago, a disturbing story broke that Morgan Freeman was maintaining a 10-year relationship with his step-granddaughter with whom he had a questionable sexual encounter when she was young. Yes, they are not related through blood, but Freeman is 72 and E'Dena Hines is now 27, which means she would have been 17 when they first... um... got together. Once Freeman's wife found out about their secret affair she filed for divorce, and now the Enquirer is claiming that once proceedings go through, he and Hines are set to wed.

"Morgan has led her to believe that he wants to marry her," says a family insider. Another source says, "Becoming Mrs. Morgan Freeman has been E'Dena's goal."

Consider us creeped out. Morgan Freeman is giving Woody Allen a run for his money! [HitDanBack]

nice!

nice!

as quite a few people have mentioned jahdel, does anyone have a link to her other tracks apart from 'heritage' ?

PROVE YOUR ACADEMIC QUALIFICATIONS, SOURCE OF WEALTH, PDP TELLS TINUBU …Says He Is 70Years And Not 60Years
Font size: 02/04/2012 10:04:00

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) took a cursory look at former Lagos State Governor Ahmed Bola Tinubu, questioned his academic qualification, sources of wealth, identity and declared his 60th birthday celebration as false.
The South West PDP said Tinubu lacks the moral rights to attack the person of president Goodluck Jonathan and former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The party said; "Time has come for the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC) to look into the funding of Tinubu’s weeklong birthday, vis the allegation of contribution of N10 million per Local council in the five ACN controlled States in the Southwest and N100 million by each of the States.

“As we write, all the ACN governors are on their ways to Abuja for another dinner as part of Tinubu’s birthday celebration. This is after staying away from their States for the better part of last week, and our question is; were these governors elected to serve Tinubu or the people of their States?”

In a statement issued and signed by the PDP Zonal Secretary, Hon. Kayode Babade, the party said, “it was an insult for someone like Bola Tinubu, whose real identity, academic qualifications and source of wealth are not known to be attacking personalities like President Jonathan and Chief Obasanjo.

According to Babade “It amounts to high level of irresponsibility for elected governors to be running up and down for a whole week in celebration of false birthday of a single individual, who claimed to be 60 when he is indeed 70 year-old.”

"While we agree that Bola Tinubu is free to run his mouth the way he desires, his verbal attacks on the president and our highly reverred leader, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is unbecoming of a former governor.

"If Tinubu is saying Obasanjo was corrupt, our question is; what business was Tinubu into before he was imposed as governor of Lagos State and what is his line of business now?

"At least, we know that OBJ has Obasanjo Farms, and even late MKO Abiola, who was a Philanthropist per excellence had Abiola Farms, Abiola Bookshops, Radio Communications Nigeria, Wonder Bakeries, Concord Press, Concord Airlines, Summit Oil International Ltd, Africa Ocean lines, Habib Bank, Decca W.A.
Ltd and other known business.

"Can anyone say with a measure of certainty Bola Ahmed Tinubu's source of wealth?"
Speaking further, Babade said; "At 60 or whatever, what we believe Bola Tinubu should occupy his mind with is how to reconcile with his origin and people in Osun State, instead throwing verbal tantrums at people who are by far credible and respectable than him.”


The PDP also accused the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) governors of Ogun, Oyo, Osun and Ekiti States of abdicating their duty posts for Lagos and Abuja for the celebration of what it called false 60th birthday of the party leader, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

APRIL FOOL! >:

i think this is an invasion on the privacy of these girls. They never bargained to have their pictures on nairaland. The moderators should apply caution in issues like this lest the site faces litigation

Moving on from that, i wonder why some of these girls provide their numbers for publication. Displaying your picture publicly is bad enough, but displaying your contact details is even worse - it makes one wonder if these girls are not call/runs girls aka ashawo

this is very wrong and the kids are very foolish. Even more foolish than their mother because if they had any wisdom, they wouldn't condone their mother disrespecting their dad but would draw closer to their dad in order to jolt their mothet towards behaving properly

agbaya!

the source of the report is sahara news so i will advice everyone to take it with a pinch of salt

if the bank has reasons to believe that you are using your account for money laundering, they are within their rights to withold the money

the days of a popular lolly pop called 'oko baba dudu' - lol!

the days when planta and blue band where the beat brands of butter in 9ja
days when vitas bakeries was the best bakery in ibadan

ibadan - from the phrase 'eba odan' meaning 'beside the village'
badagry - a corruption of the original name 'agbadarigi' by british settlers
akure - a modification of the phrase 'akun re' which means 'the necklace fits'
