But the report claimed nuj centre, does that mean he went ahead to do his stuffs or vanguard is just reporting fake news?

Who won in oopl and what was the scores pls?

Exactly. All major newspapers carried Sowunmi as winner and emphasized that INEC was present. I have read the other reports and didn't read about INEC being at Adebutu's primaries. I am just sharing my observations as a citizen of Ogun state. Before this election, Sowunmi had gone to court so we need to be guided. Let's wait to hear from INEC.

Politics / Nigerian National Awards—ignoring Deserving Female Achievers by Shinor(m): 10:09am On Feb 26, 2022
The Federal Government of Nigeria annually honoured a select number of citizens that have made sterling contributions to the country over a period of time. Citizens can receive various categories of awards, including the second-highest honour in the land—GCON—Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger—and indeed, there are two current notable figures with this particular award: Dr Mike Adenuga (Jnr) and Alhaji Aliko Dangote. This award is second only to that of the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR) which is usually given to the country’s President.
Another rather ambiguous matter relating to these awards is the fact that no one knows exactly the criteria required for receiving any of the awards. To be precise, those who have received the GCON usually did not attract any controversy, as their contribution to society was somewhat visible to all and sundry. However, what qualifies someone to get a MON (Member of the Order of the Niger) and not a CON (Commander of the Order of the Niger) or an MFR (Member of the Order of the Federal Republic)? The parameters were unknown and remain unknown.

While some of those honoured were thought by the generality of the population to be deserving of such honour, others were often considered unworthy, as there was nothing concretely expressive of why such honour was bestowed on them. There are those who also believed that such characters got on the honours list simply by virtue of being friends with some of those responsible for compiling the list of awardees.
Deriving from the above, could it be a curious coincidence that since the advent of the Muhammadu Buhari administration, the annual national honours ceremony has not been held? In other words, for the past 7 years, no national honour has been bestowed on anyone. Rather interestingly, nobody is complaining, which might suggest that the population is comfortable with this turn of events, not having believed anyway that most of those being honoured in recent memory deserved it.

There is also the associated issue of those who ought to be honoured but were often inexplicably left out. There are hundreds, if not thousands of them. However, let us just take the case of a celebrated Nigerian table tennis player named Bose Kaffo. In a recent interview with a Nigerian internet-based radio station, Boom Radio NG, Bose reeled out many of her accomplishments, some of which include:
• 12-time African Table Tennis Champion in the Women Singles, Doubles, Mixed Doubles and Teams events.
• Winning 7 gold medals in singles and doubles events at six consecutive All African Games from 1987-2007.
• Second Nigerian female athlete to compete at 5 Olympic Games from 1992-2008 (after celebrated sprinter, Mary Onyali)
• Appointed International Table Tennis Coach/Expert for The Gambia, Lesotho, South Africa and Tanzania.
• Variously being part of the Nigerian female table tennis team that were African champions for 20 consecutive years.

Successive Nigerian governments seemed only interested in identifying with and honouring football players. Even at that, they focused only on the male teams. Just like Bose Kaffo’s sterling performance and achievements, the Nigerian female soccer team—the Super Falcons— has won the African Women Cup of Nations for a record 11 times as follows:

Despite winning 11 editions of the competition, the superlative Super Falcons have never been honoured with national awards. This is both shocking and unbelievable. In fact, the Nigerian female team set the stage for the development of female football on the African continent and have dominated all three categories (cadet, junior and senior) of the competition.

Politics / SPECIAL ANALYSIS. Lessons From Kabul. by Shinor(m): 6:34pm On Aug 17, 2021
“For Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria who form the sub-regional Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) combating the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) across their common frontiers, there are lessons to be drawn from what has just transpired in south Asia. This also applies to Burkina Faso and Mali, both within the West African sub-region who are also countering dogma-inspired insurgencies on their territories.”

On Sunday 15th, August 2021, combatants fighting under the flag of the Taliban besieged Kabul, capital of Afghanistan and the following day, made a spectacular entry into the city. Before their rather unanticipated entry, President Ashraf Ghani had taken the wise decision to leave the country, lessening tensions and decreasing the chances of more bloodshed that could have occurred in the fight to both capture and defend him.
Before matters came to this point, the United States had invaded Afghanistan after the terrorist attacks visited on her major cities and the Pentagon by Al Qaeda on September 11 2001, in what many saw as a justifiable response, especially after the Taliban, then the de facto government of that country, had flatly refused to hand over Osama Bin Laden to Washington. While the US invasion, executed on the ground by elements of the Northern Alliance backed by CIA advisers and US Air Force bombers overhead succeeded in overthrowing the Taliban, the Americans never really dominated that country. The Taliban remained an ever-present threat and recent events only underscored that fact.
For Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria who form the sub-regional Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) combating the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) across their common frontiers, there are lessons to be drawn from what has just transpired in south Asia. This also applies to Burkina Faso and Mali, both within the West African sub-region who are also countering dogma-inspired insurgencies on their territories. First is the fact that the West could easily back out of a fight (just as easily as they got into it), and especially when it could be most crucial for the war effort. The Americans went into talks with the Taliban (hosted by Qatar) on their plans to withdraw without involving the government they had installed in Kabul! Talk of an infra dig! (Recall that ex-President Sarkozy of France never wanted to fight on the side of Mali against the Azawad insurgents at the onset of the crisis, but President Francois Hollonde who replaced him threw his hat into the ring in favour of the West Africans. This also illustrates the point being made here).
Secondly, the objective of the US in Afghanistan, with the benefit of hindsight, never seemed to have been the same as that of the government in Kabul. Else it would not have sidelined Ashraf Ghani to enter into direct talks with the Taliban. (Note that the US also unilaterally entered into talks with North Korea and without as much as carrying Seoul along). So, if push came to shove, could the West not enter into talks with the insurgents in the Sahel and around the Lake Chad too, sidelining the African allies it claimed to be supporting?

Foreign Affairs / Re: Hichilema Defeats Incumbent, Lungu In Zambia Presidential Race by Shinor(m): 8:55am On Aug 16, 2021
fergie001:

Presidency in Zambia is for a 5-year term, of which cannot exceed two tenures.

Unlike Nigeria where the Vice President continues the term when the President dies in Office, a bye-election will be conducted to replace the President according to the Zambia Constitution.

Levy Mwanawasa was President from January 2002 and won re-election in 2006, but suffered a stroke in June 2008 and eventually died in August same year....His Deputy, Rupiah Banda won nomination from his UNIP party, contested and beat Michael Sata of the Patriotic Front to complete the tenure to 2011.

Banda ran and lost to Michael Sata who won in 2011.
Co-incidentally, Michael Sata died in office in October 2014, hence the bye-election was conducted in 2016 wherein his then Minister of Defence, Edgar Lungu won.

The Zambia Constitution states that a full term is considered when the President has been in Office for at least three of his five years, be it completed or substantive.

However, the Constitution was changed in 2015 wherein the Vice President will complete the tenure of a President who dies in Office.

Thanks for the info

Sports / BREAKING NEWS . Toyko 2020: Nigerian Sprinter Okagbare Banned by Shinor(m): 10:37am On Jul 31, 2021
Nigerian sprinter Blessing Okagbare is out of the Tokyo Olympics after being handed a provisional doping ban on the day of her 100 metres semi-final.

The Athletics Integrity Unit announced that Okagbare had "tested positive for human growth hormone" in an out-of-competition test on July 19.

That resulted in a mandatory suspension, coming on the day that Okagbare was due to race in a semi-final in Tokyo.
Okagbare finished first in her heat for the women's 100m on Friday, recording a time of 11.05 seconds to beat Britain's Asha Philip and Tynia Gaither of the Bahamas.

That put the 32-year-old into a third consecutive Olympic semi-final.

Okagbare, who won Olympic silver in the long jump in Beijing 13 years ago, holds the Commonwealth Games record in the women's 100 metres, set in Glasgow in 2014.

Music/Radio / Best Tribute To Sound Sultan - Speaking Truth To Power, Admonishing The Massess by Shinor(m): 6:53am On Jul 17, 2021
Nigerians woke up to the rude shock of the passing of one of the country’s greatest artistes in her contemporary history. Olanrewaju Abdul Ganiyu Fasasi, popularly known as “Sound Sultan” passed on in the US State of New Jersey on June 11, 2021 after a brave battle with throat cancer.
While news of his illness had been unknown to millions of people, his creativity, sterling act and impactful lyrics could be likened to a 7-course menu that those same fans and admirers had savoured for the almost two decades that were blessed by his very successful musical career.
At a time when musicians composed and released commercial music, Sound Sultan wrote songs that either mirrored society, or directly spoke truth to power—and he was widely accepted and hugely successful! He was as comfortable chastising the power elite as he was admonishing ordinary folk to embrace good values. In “Mathematics,” the song that unarguably shot him into limelight, Sultan waxed didactic to our continent’s rulers as he advanced a panacea for taking the continent of Africa out of the doldrums. Mathematics, he sang, was the way out of our “jagbajantis” (a Yoruba euphemism for an intricate rough patch—which aptly described the state our continent was in), but only by applying BODMAS (‘B’ for brotherhood; ‘O’ for objectivity; ‘D’ for democracy; ‘M’ for modification; ‘A’ for accountability; ‘S’ for solidarity). Indeed, if we embraced Sultan’s version of the Bodmas formula, Africa would be on its way out of the quagmire she has found herself.
In “Bushmeat,” a song that critics agree was way ahead of its time, Sultan warns political leaders that a time will come when the hunter will become the hunted. Indeed, the masses of our people who were bearing the brunt of their misrule would rise to fight back. It did happen, typified by the Arab Spring, the #Blacklives Matter movement, the #EndSARS campaign etc. “Ole” is the Yoruba word for a thief. He likens the pervasive abuse of power by those entrusted with it to stealing (which also takes place within the framework of an overall abuse of power) the commonwealth and future of the people, interjecting the song with semi-chants of “Ole” to infuse power into the message he transmitted.
In “Ajo o da bi ile,’’ (an alien land is no better than home), Sultan warns those who have travelled in search of greener pastures to remember that family and friends suffered to raise money to fund their travel and to therefore not forget to repay such favour and indeed, ultimately to remain connected to their roots and better still, return home. That song came at a time it was fashionable for many to leave the shores of Nigeria. Interestingly, in what confirms the prophetic nature of his songs, we would witness the great migration into Europe about a decade later as many took unprecedented risks, sometimes trekking through the vast Sahara or taking flight on rickety boats on the Mediterranean sea as they fled conflict and economic woes to try and find peace and succor in Europe and the North America.
Sound Sultan sang in a mixture of Yoruba, Pidgin English and English languages in a masterful, seamless fashion that accentuated the sanctity of his message. He was a good guitarist, composer and arranger. He mentored younger artistes, contributed to raising newer stars in the industry and deserves credit for being one of the pioneers of “Afrobeat” that has today become the dominant music genre out of Nigeria to the whole wide world.
According to Kenny Ogungbe, CEO of the famous Kennis Music

Some spirits never forgive or forget atrocities meted to them while alive. Anyone familiar with my supernatural tales will know of Bimbo, who was killed by her mom's family so her glory could be taken. This girl's mom had earlier been killed less than a month. According to what her ghost told me, her mom was the backbone fighting against her attackers. Once out of the picture, the little girl(less than 10yrs) had no one to protect her again. With just a little tutorial from my side, she soon focused her fury on her killers.
