5 year jail term will be a slap on the wrist if he was found guilty. People have gotten harsher convinctions for far lesser crimes but again, this is Nigeria and anything goes.

Kudos to EFCC. We hope to see more convictions. There shall be no sleep for the callous and heartless thieves who have stolen our collective common wealth for themselves and the expense of the masses.

Good development.

This should serve as a deterrent to all the remaining robbers masquerading as real estate managers whose only goal is to fleece hardworking Nigerians of their hard-earned money. But seriously, I blame the Men and women that are going to pay for apartments that have been said to be built with inferior materials over and over again. One live matter let alone the over 30 lives that was lost in the unfortunate Incident. The is also a form of corruption and all well meaning Nigerians should condemn it with one voice.

But I ask, Why are they being charged in a magistrate court, why not a higher one?

I think we we can all agree on one thing. A huge amount of money went unaccounted for during the last administration.

Definitely, We haven't heard the last of it.

To answer your question, Yes, there's hope for basketball in Nigeria. As someone said up there, Nigeria recently won the Afrobasket championship( even though a number of the players are US imports).

Truth is basketball in Nigeria hasn't gotten to the level of football but there are people who have been contributing there quota to give young talented players opportunities to play pro and travel abroad. Every lover of the game has to do their bit.

We just need to start looking away from the government and get the private sector involved.

Lastly I believe if you truly love the game and know you're very talented, you won't mind going to such distance to play. It will definitely pay off at some point. Like definitely.

This has to be one of the most irresponsible and prejudiced comment coming from the so-called club legend. John Mikel Obi is not the problem of Chelsea, it is more collective than individual. Even if we want to call out individuals, It starts with Jose, then Maybe Hazard, Fabregas, Costa, Matic and not forgetting the recently-injured Ivanonic, they have grossly under performed. The loss of Courtois can be mentioned too. Just 2 players have stood out this season and its Willian and Azpilicueta.

Heck, I don't fancy Mikel( he isn't the player Nigerians hoped he'll become), even Chelsea as a whole but Alan Hudson shouldn't be allowed to make unreasonable comments like this because it's utter falsehood.

Mr Shehu Sani better sit his ass down. He already let the cat out of the bag by saying el rufai doesn't want to appoint people close to him. Is it by force ?

A man that can criticize his governor of same party after 60 days of inauguration shouldn't be trusted.

Is it just me that sees a sinister undertone in this post?. ROSSIKE, I see you as a Patriot and a well-meaning Nigerian considering your effort to put Nigeria in good light in these past few years with all those numerous and beautiful pictures. Please don't do otherwise.

That been said, why don't you bring forward any contrary information aside what we are being told.

No power No fuel. Shebi their former VC is the Minister for Power, Prof Nebo.

No Minister like Prof Barth Nnaji.

The "protest" looks like a Jamboree though.

This is the most anticipated hand-over in the history of this nation. Same way the elections was followed by all and sundry from different parts of the world.

ideylaff:
I like the way you dissected my points and also reasoned with me, I wish this place as a forum was like this...

sensible people with manners are so rare these days.

Thank you for your points as well. Noted.

God Bless you Southern Guy.....

Amen. And you too bro. Big Ups!!

ideylaff:
It was paper overcracks and too much grandstanding in the Agric Sector..

There was too much Noise and photo op with dem Dbanj and co than the actual deliverables and milestones if you look deeper into the Agric sector, but since most Ministers were not up to scratch he looks like the next thing since sliced bread.

In my opinion Akinwunmi will score 40% .... I am talking cos I have looked closely and deeper into his tenure and dont buy all the photo opportunity and Bow Tie actions people seem to be falling for

I wish him well but Im not fooled by the hype at all . naaaaa

Man, I don't fault your line of reasoning one bit and I understand what you're trying to say, You know what they say about a one-eyed man in the city of the blind. I agree his records aren't exceptional but there's no gainsaying that there's been substantial improvement in the agric sector; proper fertilizer distribution, increased production, increased exports, no food shortage etc.

That GMB had to send a delegation to lobby for him for that position is a plus too. GMB definitely sees something.

Akinwunmi Adesina should clinch the spot considering his stellar performance as the Agric Minister. He also has the backing of both the current and the incoming administration

Femi Aribisala is an unrepentant ethnic jingoist. He even has the temerity to say the allegations leveled against Deziani is because she's from the south-south.

Madam Deziani supervised a very corrupt ministry, We can't forget the Fuel subsidy scam and kerosine subsidy scam so soon.

I hope there's no ulterior motive in the OP but this is suppose to be a good news isn't it?

This video already surfaced on social media and it should be condemned in strong terms by all and sundry(PDP and APC). It just shows our democracy still has a long way to go.

The good news is, after all the rigging, the numbers didn't add up. Nigerians are the real winners.

Nigerians already have very high expectations for the incoming government, doing half of this in the first 100 days will assure the masses of the goodies that's yet to come.

The same Aliyu that wants to become the president of this great country cant even win a senatorial seat in his own state which he has ruled for 8years. SMH

omenka:
A congratulatory massage doesn't erase past crimes. Adams should start gathering all the arms in his soldiers possession for onward submission to state security agents, and get very good lawyers to defend himself in court.

Totally Agree. He and his ilks should be prosecuted for the show of same in Lagos. And of course the contract awarded to him by President Jonathan should be revoked.

I've been opportuned to listen to this three candidates and honestly, it's a tough choice. BRF comes first for me,followed by Amaechi,then Prof.

Can we all throw out the religion card into the bin please?

vanguard1: My governor, you have our backing. Ike ekwereMmadu should go and rest.

The deputy senate president should go and rest? Bros relax

Jman06: Finally! APC has been put to shame.

Mister,this has nothing to do with APC.FG didn't since the 2009 MOU under duress.

I need not remind you that President Jonathan was the broker between the FG and ASUU when he was VP.

I hope this is true,It's difficult to believe some stories these days most especially that which concerns FG and ASUU.

All the same,it gives me great concern that the President who is a former lecturer can allow this strike to last this long.

Babzilla: OH THIS JUST CAME IN
MY CELTICS BEAT OLADIPO'S MAGIC ...AGAIN
OLADIPO HAS17 POINTS, JEFF GREEN 16
HAVE A NICE DAY PEOPLE
(WALTZING TO MA KITCHEN HUMMING SAM COOKE'S GOOD TIMES)

NICE!!!
I see our coach is getting more acquainted with the league after losing his first 4 games....I just can't wait for Rondo to be back and Sullinger get his form back.Jeff keeping it locked for the time being.

Have a nice day bruv

shymexx: Bruv, I'm just asking questions based on what I've seen so far and his work ethic. He still has a lot of nuances in his game that needs vast improvements. If he can sort them out, he should be great when it's all said and done.

T-Mac without the injuries was one-hell of a player. And he was better than Kobe as a 2-guard at one point. You can't blame him for his injuries, can you?

Anyway, Oladipo is more of a 2-guard. His ball handling skills is nowhere good for a PG. So please don't put him in the same bracket as those players.

Ok.I get your point and I wish him the best.

You are right about T-Mac and one can't blame him for his injuries.

About putting a list of Mostly PGs,you would agree with me that their traditional role was to control the tempo of the game and make plays but in the past few years,a lotta them have taken over the shooting role from the shooting guards.

Besides,apart from Kobe,Wade and Harden no other SG is doing so well in the league

Babzilla: DIDNT SAY HE DIDNT SPEAK
I SAID HE COULDNT PRONOUNCE HIS NAME
DONT MATTER 2 ME ANYWAY AS LONG AS HE CAN PLAY
AND MY CELTICS KEEP WINNING

I bleed green too bro...Thumbs up

In my honest opinion,comparing a less-than-10-games NBA rookie to Hakeem the dream is Sacrilege.

At Op,Victor Oladipo is a good prospect but being a prospect isn't good enough,people like T-Mac should have had at least 3rings if it by prospect

.First of all,he has a lot of pressure on him being the no 2 draft pick overall.

2,he needs the right attitude and lotta hardwork.

3,the competition in the NBA is at the highest level now with people like Rose,Westbrrok,Curry,Parker,CP3,Rondo(when fit),deron Williams,Irving,Jrue Holiday,Harden etc.Let him break into the elite guard list before I can start taking him serious.

Wow!

Another day,another story!

Good day y'all,I came across this article sometime last year and i stumbled upon it few days back and i thought i should share.Enjoy!


We are always going on about the 'dangers of a single story.' So like you all already know, once in a while, we approach the Bible from a whole new point of view. Today, I'm questioning the assumption that God won the eternal argument and Lucifer lost. It may well be that one person cheated. Im just gonna let yall decide what you decide. For me, Im just thinking aloud, as always. So here is the devil's diary entry. I suggest a sign of the cross before you read further.


Entry 1: "So my simple argument has been thrown about the cosmos as an act of rebellion. I simply questioned the assumption that every living soul necessarily finds pleasure in worshipping God through out eternity. God says that is the ultimate good and that I am somehow evil for wanting for once to just enjoy my own existence, to do something for Myself. Just to be me, and to let other beings recognize me for what and who I am instead of justifying my existence through service to Him. And the other angels somehow think He is right and that I really am evil. The ignorance of them all! I have tried to reach out to them, to show them that they are basically programmed to want to serve him. They have just an illusion of choice. Even with that illusion I have managed to sway some of them. Now, I made just one simple bet with God. "Create a new being, outside heaven so he won't fear your presence, give him independence and dominion over his own plane of existence. And then just please, give him choice. Free will. Make him a free agent and I swear once he has the choice between serving God, or being like God, he will choose to be like God." Since that is the sin I am being punished for, let's see if a free agent will choose to worship God. If he does, then I will accept my fate. God has accepted my bet. He has embarked upon creating an earth and putting a being in it who is made like the sons of God but also has free will. Let's see how this will go. 


Entry 2: Hahahahahaha! I did it!! Real simple...the tree was put in the garden and God gave instructions to man and the woman....dont eat of it. I asked them, do you wanna serve God forever and not know why he didn't want you to eat that tree, or do you want to be like God, decide for yourself what is good or bad and do whatever you want. It was a simple choice really. I ALWAYS knew I was right!!!


Entry 3: Crap! God decided to be vengeful! When I was celebrating the fact I was proven right, he ordered Michael to throw me and all the angels who supported me out of heaven! He said I should go and join man on earth. Ah! Sore losers! I'll miss the view, but I like the freedom much better! There is nothing as great as freedom. Man needs to know that. 


Entry 4: This was not part of the bargain. Everytime we earth dwellers get into our rhythm and decide to do our own thing, God throws a curve ball and messes things up. So what no man on earth knew him, was that good reason to single out Noah the loner and then flood the rest of the earth? And then he singled out Abraham and said he could have any part of the earth he wanted. Its this preferential treatment he's trying to use to discredit us and make his own followers seem to be special. And man will be gullible enough to fall for that trick and abandon his freedom. Well, all I got to offer to mankind is freedom, liberty and the ability to be your own man and do your thing. Let those that desire a life of servitude join the Abrahamic camp anyway. Its their mess, not mine. 


Entry 5: Wow, theres no length He won't go to make me look bad. Sending Jesus?? Wow. Well, I offered Jesus the simple choice: liberty, adulation and glory or serving God. Even being who he is, I could see he was tempted. But ultimately, he was too scared to break free. I guess now, with the power he has, men will fall for it and decide that servitude is what they want if miracles come with it. They just don't understand the whole story. I can't make them either, cos I really don't care at the end of the day. There will always be men who understand that the best justification for existence is the freedom to do whatever you want with it, within reason. Even as we speak, some men like that are abandoning the Old world with its religious clusterfuck to make a new country, called the New World, for men who love liberty. Its only a matter of time before the God-servers will overrun it and bring it down, but for the length of time they let liberty rule them, they will know greatness. After that, I really don't care. Am already a free soul. Maybe the only one.

Well, thats the end of it. Thats me reimagining the world and the Bible as we have known it. Its ludicrous, but its almost as plausible as what we Christians believe anyway. And its my thoughts, I'll be damned if I'm not free to think it.

Peace.

The fear of Lord Commander maclatunji is the beginning of wisdom.
