CelebritiesNewspaper Outfit Offers Baba Suwe N1 Million 4 Exclusive Rights On Cocaine Story by shadrach77(op): 3:13am On Oct 20, 2011
Meanwhile, After excreting three times in seven days under strict surveillance and without any trace of hard drug in the excreta of a popular Nigerian comedian, Babatunde Omidina a.k.a Baba Suwe, Image Merchant Promotion, a publishing outfit in Abuja, is offering the artiste a sum of N1 million for an exclusive right to his story that is widely referred to as “expensive shit of Baba Suwe.”

The Chief Executive of the organisation, which also publishes the Economic Confidential magazine, Hajia Sikrat Yushau, in a statement issued by McDonald Koiki, Associate Editor of the magazine, said the gesture was to provide detailed information on the experience and trauma the comedian went through during the saga.

The media outfit noted that the controversy over the case of the artiste was important to the public, as his continued detention had generated a lot of debate in both the economic and entertainment sectors.

“Not minding other interests by legal practitioners to represent Baba Suwe in suing the government and the anti-narcotics agency over his ordeal, in the event that he is innocent, we strongly believe that such information from publishers of factual publication like ours could interest the members of the public,” Hajia Yushau said.

She added that “the offer was not in any way to support drug trafficking, but in solidarity with the comedian for his travails and unnecessary detention for many days without taking him to court.”
CelebritiesBaba Suwe Sues Ndlea Over Continued Detention by shadrach77(op): 2:09am On Oct 20, 2011
Falana blasts NDLEA
Meanwhile, a Lagos lawyer and human rights activist, Mr. Femi Falana, has condemned NDLEA’s continued detention of Baba Suwe, urging it to stop experimenting with human freedom as a result of its defective machines.

Falana, who spoke at the 25th anniversary of the death of founding editor-in chief of Newswatch magazine, Mr. Dele Giwa, said: ”I have never in any part of the world seen where an agency will be experimenting with human beings, saying that they want Baba Suwe to excrete the hard drugs that their machine tested him to have ingested, denying him of his freedom for more than 24 hours just because their machines are defective.”

[b]Baba Suwe sues for N1bn
Mean time, Baba Suwe has dragged NDLEA, before an Ikeja High Court, Lagos, challenging his continued detention by the anti-drug agency.

Vanguard was unable to confirm if the lawyer, Mr. Kunle Adegoke, had the consent of Baba Suwe to institute the suit, in which he is claiming N1billion as damage for his illegal and unconstitutional violation of his fundamental human rights.

Baba Suwe is praying the court to declare his arrest and continued detention since October 13, on suspicion of drug trafficking, a gross violation of his fundamental rights, as guaranteed under Sections 34 and 35 of the 1999 Constitution.

He is seeking:
* A declaration that the continued incarceration of the applicant is contrary to the provisions of Articles 4, 5 and 6 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and hence unlawful, ultra vires, respondent, null and void.

* An order immediately releasing the applicant from unlawful detention in which he is being held at the pleasure of the respondent.

* Compensation in the sum of N100m against the respondents to be paid to the applicant for the aforesaid illegal and unconstitutional violation of his fundamental rights by the respondent.[/b]

CelebritiesRe: No Cocaine Found In Baba Suwe’s Third Excretion by shadrach77: 12:02pm On Oct 19, 2011
jonex70:
HEre is my point, i believe Baba suwe is  serious  drug pusher because i have  friends that work for him. Most of the time Baba suwe himself dont normally carry the stuff instead he has boys that go before him with the drug. I believe some Baba suwe enermies must have tipped the Ndlea about him  going to Paris with drugs  but unfortunately he did not carry the said drugs on that day. because of the tipped off the Ndlea now use the scanner as an excuse to arrest him base on the information they have without any evidence. Now  it has brought shame on them and they are now  looking for away to cover up the whole saga that is why they are buying time. I can assure you that the  scanner  never detected any drugs or substance on Babasuwe they are just acting on information which turn out to be false.
Let me also assure you that no money has changed hand as some people are insinuating on here,because the Ndlea will not have come out and make any press released at all if money has changed hand and you would not have even heard anything about it. Paris is the hottest destination  for drugs in  europe right now and Babasuwe happen to be going there makes him  an  easy  target,but  someone needs to know that b4 this people embark on this  sort of journey there are some process involve , they have  herbalist,alfa and prophet working for them to  determine if they should go or not and if its good  to carry drugs or not. I  can tell you that Ndlea is  acting on information or tip off that turn out  to be false.

Christianity EtcThings You Wouldn't Believe Are In The Bible by shadrach77(op): 9:12pm On Oct 13, 2011
These are stuff in the bible which a lot of people may not know - folks write other biblical facts or quotes which are not common or known on this thread

1- The Earth is Round! Are you so ignorant? It is God who sits above the circle of the earth – Is 40:22; When He prepared the heavens, I was there When He drew a circle on the face of the deep – Prov 8:27b

2- Cave Men are in the Bible – They are not “prehistoric, but historic! They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth – Heb 11:36-38; Ps 142; They had to live in the clefts of the valleys, in caves of the earth and the rocks. – Job 30:6; Then Lot . . . dwelt in the mountains, and his two daughters . . . dwelt in a cave. – Gen 19:30 – around 2100 BC; I Sam 13:6; Is 2:19; I Ki 18:13; Men have sought shelter in caves for thousands of years. Just because some pictures were found in caves, doesn’t mean it was used by men millions of years ago. In the 1980s a Japanese soldier was discovered living in a cave since WWII; Afghanistan resistance fighters use them with an elaborate tunnel complex.

3- Want to find a Brontosaurus? Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you; He eats grass like an ox. See now, his strength is in his hips, and his power is in his stomach muscles. He moves his tail like a cedar (tree) . . . bones like beams of bronze . . . ribs bars of iron . . . Indeed the river may rage, Yet he is not disturbed. – Job 40:15-24
4- Tyrannosaurus Rex sounds more like Godzilla! – Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook . . . Can you fill his skin with harpoons (must be very big). . . His mighty power . . .Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle – Never do it again . . . terrible teeth all around . . . His sneezings flash forth light . . . Out of his mouth go burning light; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke goes out of his nostrils . . . His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth . . . Though the sword reaches him, it cannot avail; Nor does spear, dart, or javelin. He regards iron as straw . . . He makes the deep boil like a pot . . He leaves a shining wake behind him. – Job 41

5- Cartoon Character, Wylie Coyote’s Plans – If you set a trap for another, you will get caught in it yourself. If you roll a boulder down on others, it will roll back and crush you. – Prov 26:27 (NLB); Let the wicked fall into their own snares, but let me escape. – Ps 141:10. Did you know the inventor of the Guillotine was killed on his own invention? Let my enemies be destroyed by the very evil they have planned for me. – Ps 140:9
6- The Ozone Layer, Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon keep Earth safe from getting hit by almost all meteors. – For the shields of the earth belong to God – Ps 47:9

7- Raiders of the Lost Ark (Last scene where the Nazi’s melt looking in the Ark.) - Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths. – Zech 14:12b But the Lord killed seventy men form Bethshemesh because they looked into the Ark of the Lord. – I Samuel 6:19

8- Space Ships/Space Men - . . . Whirlwind was coming . . . great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself and brightness was all around . . . Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures . . . Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. Their legs were straight . . . their appearance was like burning coals of fire like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning . . The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. (gyroscope) . . .As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes . . . were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. . . noise of their wings, (loud) like the noise of many waters, . . . a tumult like the noise of an army. – Ez 1-10

9- God brought the Israelites back to Israel in 1947 )promised approximately 2600 years ago – . . . Thus says the Lord God: “I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.” – Ez 11:17; Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold I will save My people from the land of the east And from the land of the west; I will bring them back And they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. They shall be My people and I will be their God, in truth and righteousness.” – Zech 8:7-8 also find in Hosea 1:10-11; Ez 37:21-22.

10- Justice delayed is Justice denied – What happens when Society doesn’t get a speedy trial for criminals. It can take 7-20+ years to execute a person for a cruel, vicious, unthinkable murder. Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. – Ecc 8:11 Our society, congress, prisons is full of lawbreakers.

11- Jonah wasn’t swallowed by a whale – Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. – Jonah1:17 A whale is a mammal, a fish is a fish. The only fish currently large enough to swallow Jonah and keep him alive is a whale shark. With a diet of krill, it’s stomach acids are not strong enough to digest a man. So this fish probably had a terrible stomach ache!

12- Jesus had 4 brothers and at least 3 sisters. Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses (Joseph, Jr.?), Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? – Matt 13:55-56 It doesn’t mention his sisters’ names, but it has to be at least 3. Why? If there were only 2, it would say are they not both with us? But it says “ALL with us.” So it was at least 3.

13- God turned the clock backwards. . . This is the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing which He has spoken . . . let the shadow go backward ten degrees. . . So Isaiah the prophet cried out to the Lord, and He brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz. – II Kings 20:5-11

14- “Girls Behaving Badly,” includes female Hollywood stars. A woman who is beautiful but lacks discretion is like a gold ring in a pig’s snout. – Prov 11:22 NLB

15- Husbands Love Your Wives; Wives Submit To Your Husbands (Notice it doesn’t tell wives to love their Husbands, because they already do. It’s the knuckle-headed guys that are told to LOVE.) Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord. . . So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. . . Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband. – Eph 5:22-33

16- 9-1-1 – Has been there for 3000 years as Psalms 91:1 - He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty (God). Psalms is the guarantee of Safety to those who will seek after God.

17- After death, Jesus was weighed down with an additional 100 lbs. -And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. – Jn 19:39-40

18- God promised He’d never cause another World Wide Flood – Rainbow It shall be when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant (promise) which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. – Gen 9 14-15

19- Jesus wasn’t the only man ever to walk on the water. So He (Jesus) said “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he (Peter) walked on the water to go to Jesus. – Matt 14:29

20- Simon Peter (the 1st Pope) was married. But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him (Jesus) about her at once. – Mark 1:30 Simon’s name was changed by Jesus to Peter – Matt 16:17-18.

21- Vomit. As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. – Prov 26:11 (NLB) Also I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish you were one or the other! But since you are like lukewarm water, I will spew you out of my mouth! – Rev 3:15

13When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone;
14but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.
15Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. (James 1:13-15)

Olu Omo Of Ogun,Gbenga Daniel, On"Hunger Strike" To Protest Detention Conditions

By SaharaReporters, New York


https://saharareporters.com/sites/default/files/page_images/news/2011/Obj_ogd.jpg?1318369967

Mr. Justin Olugbenga Daniel, the former Governor of Ogun State who was taken into custody in Abuja by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) five days ago, has gone on hunger strike, his lawyers claimed.

A statement issued today by Yemi Oke, counsel to Mr. Daniel, said the former governor was being detained at the EFCC facility “under unbearable conditions” and subjected to “gruesome interrogations” by operatives of the commission.

“Under normal circumstances, Otunba Daniel should have been arraigned in court since he has spent more than the required period specified by law in detention,” the statement said.  “But at the time of issuing this statement, he has not been arraigned in court and no charge has been preferred against him. Yet he is being detained and his fundamental human rights curtailed for no just cause. Only his wife is allowed access to him.”




Mr. Daniel’s lawyers, the statement said, this morning served the EFCC with court processes seeking to enforce the detainee’s fundamental human rights, but that has been ignored by the agency.  As a result of the ‘worsening’ condition under which he is being held, as well as the curtailment of his fundamental rights, the former governor has now declined food and medication.

“It is noteworthy to point out that one of Otunba Daniel’s interrogators, in an unguarded moment, blurted out that the case against him would not have gotten to this level if he had begged a former president of the country whom he said was behind Otunba Daniel’s travails,” the statement said.  “We therefore call on all men and women of goodwill to prevail on the EFCC to allow the rule of law to prevail by either releasing the former governor or charge him to court. These are the only two options known to law.”

The former governor and former President Olusegun Obasanjo had a major public disagreement within the People’s Democratic Party ahead of the April 2011 elections, and Obasanjo is known to be one of the signatories of the EFCC petition against Mr. Daniel.

this is the way i see it, both of you have valid points - she has a point, because if you cannot put her picture on her page, it may appear as though you are not proud of her or it may appear as if you are planning to double date. I can see your own point of view too since you may end up breaking with her so you don't want people to start seeing you like a playboy who keeps changing girls - the remedy to the situation is this, put her picture on your page (in order to reassure her) but don't tag her name to it or don't mention the relationship between you two on your page - that way, nobody knows what's going on between you two and you are covered wink wink cheesy
RomancePower Of The Beholder by shadrach77(op): 1:41am On Oct 05, 2011
Here is an article i wrote in a magazine two weeks ago and i thought it would be nice to share it with fellow Nairalanders grin grin grin


POWER OF THE BEHOLDER

From the beginning of time it has been the norm that men are meant to woo the lady and make the 'first move' when it comes to dating so when we say 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' it is assumed that the man is the beholder but let's face it, there is no rule that says the beholder has to be the man so this idea is based on nothing more than pure traditional sentiments.If the notion that men are created to be active, while women are meant to be passive is true, how come we now have female presidents and ladies holding positions of power? Shall we conclude that these women who have risen to the very top are exceptional or are simply going against the norm? It's doubtful that this is the case.

While the world is changing and the barriers between the male and female gender is narrowing by the day, most ladies particularly those of black descent still prefer to hide behind tradition and choose to wait for a man to come to them rather than taking the bull by the horn. The excuse which these ladies come up with is that revealing your romantic interest in a man to him will "cheapen" them.This argument seems flawed when analysed. Let's look at it from this angle. Someone approaches a full frown woman and says 'you are a man!' Unless she has some medical deficiencies which are unseen, she would immediately correct the person by saying 'sorry I'm female'. She does not need anybody to tell her what her gender is since she is fully aware what her gender is having spent all her life living as a woman. It does not matter what anybody thinks, she knows who she is. The same goes for principle can be applied to dating. Why must it matter so much to you what the man thinks of you? If you know within yourself that you are not cheap, what anybody thinks about you is irrelevant but this writer feels such excuses are used by insecure ladies to cover up their lack of confidence since they feel they lack what it takes to ask a man out.

Waiting to be wooed gives the woman power since she is the one who then has to decide whether to accept the proposal or not. But in playing the waiting game has its disadvantage as well since by waiting to be wooed, the woman is restricting herself and giving all the control to the beholder, time and chance. Rather than making things happen, she is waiting for things to happen. She's not in control of the situation but is at the mercy of situation.

Let's look at the example of Sister Shade and Bro Tunde (both fictitious characters). Sister Shade is a single sister attending a church in her neighbourhood. There are 25 single guys and 25 single ladies in this church. Out of the 25 single ladies, 10 are in relationships. Sister Shade is unattached and fancies a particular Bro Tunde in the church who happens to be unattached too. But she is waiting and praying patiently for God to lead brother Tunde to her. She feels shy about making her intentions known to Brother Tunde. What are the chances of Brother Tunde taking notice of her and asking her out? Assuming Bro Tunde is looking for his spouse within the church alone, sister Shade's chances are 1/15 or 6%. Her chances of being noticed are even slimmer if Bro Tunde is not restricting his search to church confines alone. But Shade can turn a 6% situation to a 50% situation if she decides to become pro-active and make the effort to gain Tunde's attention.You may say 'But Bro Tunde is not the only brother in church!'. Well, that's true but what are the chances of sister Shade being noticed by any of the 24 remaining church brothers? Again it's 1/15. Remember sister Shade is "competing" with 14 other ladies who might even be more attractive than her.

So when people say there are more single ladies out there than men, here lies the answer. It's not as a result of numerical superiority on the part of women but lack of confidence, inability to take their own destiny in their own hands.And in the 21st century when the feminine/women's right movement is getting more vocal, women should note that they won't be taken seriously if they clamour for gender equality in every other area of life but feel wooing should be left to men alone. Apart from that this ancient idea does the feminine movement more harm than good.

Music/RadioThe Dark Glasses Craze by shadrach77(op): 6:06pm On Oct 04, 2011
why has it become a must now for every hip-hop musician to adorn dark glasses in their videos? i think this silliness was started by d'banj and has been adopted by everyone - and boy! they look very silly in some of their videos - why will a normal person wear dark shades at night? e.g. Oleku (by Ice Prince) - must you put it on to look the part? and it's funny it's only the male ones who feel they need to do that - at least we don't see sasha, bouqui, mo-cheddah etc doing such grin grin grin grin
