musiwa alma mater?
WTF!

It has been fraustrating! I can't access nairaland at all with my etisalat modem till now. I just tried posting this on my.naij.com believing it will appear on nairaland.

lekanolas: According to him, the office of the First Lady would rather do whatever it can to sensitise the public and the legislature on the importance of the project. Osinlu said that the project was not for the office of the First Lady to defend as the Federal Capital Territory Ministry has responded appropriately.

is there anywhere in the nigerian constitution where an office is alloted to the first lady?
Lil wonder! An illegal fund to an illegitimate office. Why will our first lady wanna request for public fund to build a house for her fellow widows? Can't the whole of the african first ladies raise the fund within themselves since it is a house to host them?
It seems the fuel subsidy removal and MAULAG protest style will be the solution to the first lady's agitation. Since we've realised the president has no liver and gat the code.

abiodunalasa: am not talking as a unilorite, am talking as a Nigeria student. if we are to rank Nigerian universities based on their academic performance at present, I tell u, no one beat Unilorin.
Its not a matter of old professors or mediocre international students. its about how valuable ur students are in the labour market.
Mr. Bakare graduated with 2.1 in unilorin only for him to turn out the over all best student in UI amidst their first class students after his masters.
Just last year unilorin emerge winner amidst other African universities during a law and engineering competition.
Infact, I don't av time for counting.
If u are not a student of unilorin, pls get one as a friend !
University of ilorin............... Better by far.

what about our own MUSIWA, an electricity engineer graduate of unilorin.
The guy dey represent wella!

Nonsense and puerile!
Just because he went to sit beside her and make a comic gesture means he is lusting for the first lady of the Anambra state. What about in church where women and men sit side by side? Does that depict lust? Different people with different mentality. The last time i thought about issues of guy lusting after a lady when he sits with her was when i was in primary school.
Had the writer said he loathes senator Ngige, it would be very understandable rather than just writing a puerile article.

Chidi4u: NIGERIAN WOMAN SETS WORLD
RECORD IN HEROINE SWALLOW
CAUGHT AT AIRPORT ***THE DREAM OF MERCEDES,
HOUSE IN LEKKI, OWAMBE PARTY
IS OVER FOR BOLA!! A Nigerian woman, Bola
Adebisi, set an unenviable
world record for amount of
ingested heroin ever recovered
when she tried to smuggle five
pounds of heroin in 180 pellets into the U.S. The previous
record, set by a Nigerian man,
was four pounds of heroin
ingested in 100 pellets. Airport authorities at the Dulles
International Airport, say that
52-year-old Bola Adebisi
ingested an incredible 180
thumb-sized pellets filled with
heroin. Airport officers became suspicious when she was
questioned after arriving on
Ethiopian Airlines flight 500
from Adis Ababa.
Adebisi claimed she was
visiting her brother in the U.S., but she was unable give details
of her “brother” and his
address. A routine pat-down
showed that her belly was
suspiciously rigid, and an X-ray
revealed to astonished officials that she had in her stomach 180
thumb-sized pellets with a total
weight of five pounds.
Steve Sapp of the Customs and
Border Protection, said: “We
were kind of shocked and surprised at the sheer number
of pellets she ingested. We
usually see men twice her size
ingest about half of what she
did.”
According to International Business Times, Adebisi broke a
previous record for ingested
drugs set on March 30, 2011, by
another Nigerian man, 46-year-
old Yomade Aborishade of
Lagos, Nigeria, who was arrested for ingesting four
pounds of heroin in 100 pellets.
The lady was taken to the
hospital where overnight, she
passed out all the pellets
containing heroin worth an estimated 150,000 pounds.
Christopher Hess, director of
Customs and Border Patrol for
Washington D.C. said: “The
amount of pellets and heroin
this woman ingested is incredible, a serious health risk,
and very troubling if these
numbers become the new
normal.”
Authorities say drug mules
often attempt to smuggle heroin and cocaine, and
sometimes ecstasy by
swallowing latex balloons,
often condoms or fingers of
latex gloves or other special
pellets filled with the drugs and later recovered from feces. It is
a medically dangerous way of
smuggling small amounts of
drugs and a mule can die if a
packet bursts or leaks before
exiting the body. Statistics from 2003 show over 50% of foreign
females in UK jails were drug
mules from Jamaica, with
Nigerian women making a
large contribution to the
balance. Adebisi, according to MSNBC,
will be prosecuted by the U.S.
Attorney’s Office for the Eastern
District of Virginia.

what is even the constitutional duty of the governors forum?
These people are just boring us with useless issues as if the state projects they are elected to oversee and actualize are done with.

E no win award!

orelove4liff: (1)40% of d current nigeria universities VCs had their 1st degree in UI

how did you gat your statistics? There seems to be over 110 universities in nigeria now. Better if you can mention at least 30 to prove yourself right.

orelove4liff: (2)UI has d best economics and medicine dept in d country

UI of recent have been underperfoming in every organised quiz in nigeria though they used to have the best medicine but economics, i don't know.

orelove4liff: (3)d latest rankin of tertiary health institution by WHO shows dat UCH where ui medical students are trained is d best in west africa and d 3rd in all over africa

that is the hospital ranking which may not properly and directly impart the students under learning in the teaching hospital.

orelove4liff: (4)UI has over 350profs which makes it d largest in west africa while most nigeria unis hav none

fallacy! Mention the nigerian university with no prof. Not even the V.C!

orelove4liff: (5)abt 4profs can be lecturin u a course which makes it very difficult to bribe any1 for mark

it happens also in oau and some schools like ABU and NSUKKA

orelove4liff: (6)UI has d highest numba of international students which includes students 4rm USA&Canada etc.

still agree with this cos of the courses they offer which other universities in nigeria doesn't like the foreign languages and the world standard zoo.

orelove4liff: d only disadvantage of ui is dat of d social life...very poor

still better than some schools in the south west.

Before the arrival of the loot governance team, Oshiomole has been informing them he has no money to finance the visitation and if they are wise enough, they should have understood what the governor of the state meant, and that is they aren't welcomed.
If it is mandatory for them to see the federal government initiated projects, they can just go on with it without involving the state governor since he isn't interested.
Cos many state governors gave the team a welcoming gesture doesn't place another governor on the band wagon to do the same.
What is even the essence of spending on a visitation when there are petty projects that can be done with the fund?

why will my lewis hamilton carry 9th for barcelona? Abi make we change the mercedes ni!

Desola: ACN abi APC?

ACN for now since the newly formed APC hasn't been registered and no full merge has been implemented.

Governor Idris Wada is
expected back in Lokoja,
Monday, after almost two
months stay in Abuja, where he
was treated for injuries, he
sustained in an auto crash
involving his convoy on
December 28, 2012, along
Ajaokuta – Lokoja road.
According to government
sources , Governor Wada is
expected to on arrival, to
resume duties in his Lugard
House office in Lokoja, the state
capital.
After nearly two months of
medical treatment and
convalescence in Abuja, Wada is
believed to have substantially
recovered from the effects of
last year's accident involving his
convoy, in which he lost his
Aide de Camp, ASP Idris
Mohammed.

The Action Congress of
Nigeria (ACN) has alerted the
nation over an impending
collapse of the Nigerian
economy, unless the Federal
Government cuts the
astronomical cost of running
a bloated government and
takes urgent measures to
diversify the economy and
shore up the production of
oil, which remains the
mainstay of the country’s
economy.
In a statement issued in
Lagos on Sunday by its
National Publicity Secretary,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the
party warned that if the
listed measures were not
taken, the government may
not be able to pay its bills,
including workers’ salaries,
within the next few years.
”Contrary to what the FG may
say, this warning is not
about crying wolf but is
actually borne out of a
patriotic fervour devoid of
politicking, which is the
usual refrain of this
government when alerted to
its shortcomings,” it said.
”We will like to be proven
wrong, but this will depend
on uncommon and
monumental effort, rather
than on the basis of the
usual canned response from
the government.”
ACN said the red alert was
based on four empirical
evidence: The cost of oil
production which has
skyrocketed from four (4)
dollars per barrel in 2002 to
35 dollars presently; the
massive corruption in the oil
sector, with oil theft and
sabotage leading to lost
production and costing
Nigeria some 6 billion dollars
annually in crude theft; the
sharp fall in the discovery of
new oil and gas reserves due
to the low investment in the
sector, and the most serious
of all, the challenge posed by
alternative sources of global
supply of oil and gas.
The party therefore, called on
the Federal Government to
put on its thinking cap in
order to rise to the
challenges listed above and
save Nigeria’s economy from
collapse, adding that any
delay could mean that those
in charge of the country’s
affairs would not have
enough time to change
course as the ship of state
heads for the rocks.

so they are still on the rejection. What happens to paternal test?
I understand u need feeling like a fulfilled woman, cos you need consoling yourself. If she can't console herself who else will do?
Moreover, is woman's mission on earth all about procreation!

the best justice is to search for the perpetrators and bring them to book.

anytime i read about the torture given to my ancestors in the american continents by the whites, i always feel sad and wish i had the power to emancipate them.
This is why i sometimes don't blame the yahoo guys cos is seems nemesis is doing what she knows best.
Why on earth should one subject his fellow human being to wiping and suffering nearly 24hours of the day. With the slavery in the Southern states(confederate states) that time, history has it that they couldn't match the North in productions and developments.
Seems it is even a curse on the black to be enslaved cos if whites weren't enslaving us, we would enslave ourselves. Just like nigeria and other african countries.

sanusi! I have heard you.
We shall form a committee to deal with it.

nice reviewing the case again. But the problem is that it may die down like it did during the incidence and finally buried at last with no tangible and profitable outcome.

Super Eagles defender,
Kenneth Omueruo is set to
rejoin Chelsea in the summer
after his superlative outing at
the 2013 African Nations Cup
where he help the Eagles to
win the trophy.
He was sent
on loan to
ADO Den
Haag to
develop his
skills, but
Chelsea on
the look out
for
replacement for aging John
Terry will open talks with the
Dutch club next month to
pave way for Omeruo’s
return to Stamford Bridge.
With Omeruo in line to be
named in Chelsea’s first-team
squad next season, another
Nigerian at the London club,
Victor Moses, believes the
teenager can fit into the
Blues.
“I couldn’t believe it when he
said he hadn’t played in the
African Nations before. He
was really strong and is a
good defender. He is a great
lad and a player for the
future (for Chelsea),” Moses
told chelseafc.com.
Omeruo joined Chelsea at the
start of this season from
Belgian club, Standard Liege
before he was immediately
sent on loan to ADO Den
Haag.

No fewer than seven persons
were, Saturday, arrested in
Abeokuta, the Ogun State
capital for allegedly beating
up policemen during the
monthly environmental
sanitation exercise.
Vanguard learnt that the
incident occurred at Elite
road, Idi-Aba, where the
suspects were alleged to
have contravened the
sanitation exercise law.
According to an eye witness
two policemen who were
accompanying the officials
of the ministry of
environment to monitor the
exercise were assaulted by
seven suspects after allegedly
acting contrary to the
sanitation exercise
scheduled between 7am and
10am.
It was gathered that the
suspects considered the
police enffontery to have
questioned them as
insulting, tearing the
policemen uniform and
seized their berets.
However, the police
reportedly left the scene for
reinforcement and
subsequently returned to the
scene to effect the arrest of
the suspects.
Those arrested are: Adebisi
Kazeem,Kasumu
Azeez,Kasumu Anifat,Kasumu
Nofiu,Kasumu
Busayo,Adekunle Semiu and
Segun(popularly called Osoba

even at 89, Mugabe still has his head strong in holding on to power just for security sake to save him from being punished for his previous bad behaviors. He he acted wisely and honestly, he wouldn't need feeling insecured.
All i know is if he refused to vacate power, one day, power will definitely leave him.

By DAUD OLATUNJI,Abeokuta
Erstwhile Governor of Ogun
State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel,
Friday, urged the Ogun State
High Court sitting in Isabo,
Abeokuta to stay its
proceeding on count 1-13
concerning criminal charges
on alleged abuse of land
administration filed against
him by the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC.
Daniel, through his lead
counsel, Prof. Taiwo
Osipintan disclosed that he
had filed an appeal against
the ruling of the Presiding
judge, Justice Olanrewaju
Mabekoje which rejected his
plea to quash.
Justice Mabekoje had struck
out the application filed by
Daniel which urged the
court to quash count 1-13
on the ground that, the state
government had maligned
him by publishing the report
of a panel of enquiry on land
matters.
At yesterday’s proceeding
which had been for the
continued hearing of the 38
count charge filed against
Daniel by the anti-graft
commission since
2011,Daniel’s counsel said he
had just filed a motion of
stay of action against the
court .
According to Osipintan,”the
last time we were in court,
there was a ruling whether
to quash the count 1-13 or
not,this issue has been
decided by a panel .
”His lordship ruled against
us, and based on advice and
instructions we have
appealed against the ruling,
if the appeal succeds, they
will not try count 1-13 but,if
it is not, the trial will
contnue.But, the law is that
where you have raised such
an appeal ,then, the court
should stay the action.
” It is a routine application. It
is definitely not delay tactics
on our own side, we are
ready for the prosecution,
we are ever ready.
Reacting to Daniel’s
application,the counsel to the
EFCC, Rotimi Jacobs said it
was an attempt to waste
time.
” The filing of the application
itself abnition, is an attempt
to delay,but, let us canvass
the argument before the
court, we don’t want to be
acussed of disrespecting the
authority of the appeal court,
that is why we did not press
so hard today,but, let us see
the papers they filed before
the court of appeal.
Justice Mabekoje however,
adjourned the case to March
1 to enable the defence
counsel file the necessary
papers in support of the
application.

There is suspicion between
the two religions and it is
also arousing ethnic
sentiments. Recent
happenings have clearly
demostrated that we are not
united. These are what we
are looking at right now and
that is our priority, not
power.
Recently, when the posters
of President Jonathan took
over the streets of Abuja,
Federal Capital Territory (FCT),
many people began to draw
conclusions on the
impending interest of the
President to run in 2015.
Although the President
distanced himself from the
posters, but said those
pasting them are only
exercising their rights.
Kanti-Bello
Kanti Bello
With other permutations
going on, the opposition
parties have also stepped up
activities with the on-going
moves to actualise a merger
which pundits believe is only
a figment of the conveners’
imagination.
Whether real or imagined,
the rhythmic dance of the
President even before the
2011 election may have been
giving the opposition a
nightmare and so, decided to
smoothen the edges of their
political weapons to
challenge the President in
case he declares his interest
to run.
Some of the party-men from
northern extraction believe
the President will stand in
the 2015 election hinging
their claims on what
transpired at a caucus
meeting sometimes in 2010.
“I asked the President myself
point blank that “can we
have his words that by 2015,
he should not run?” He did
not answer the question. But
I can remember people like
the governor of Katsina State
went ahead and issued a
communique that President
Jonathan is going to do only
one term. But the President
did not say so.”
These were the words of
Senator Mahmud Kanti Bello,
who represented Katsina
North at the upper chambers
in 2003 to 2011. Giving
credence to his claim that
Jonathan will run in 2015,
Bello said: “I can recall when
we were doing the last
caucus meeting before the
primary elections.
The order of primaries and
general election were put
into the Electoral Act. We had
the meeting at the PDP
headquarters. There and
then President Jonathan was
trying to garner support. The
President, governors, some
lawmakers, party chieftains
and I were there.
Then, I supported IBB
because I felt he was a better
candidate but when he lost, I
was duty bound as a party-
man to support Jonathan.
But then, before supporting
him, I wanted to take his
words home to my people
who were agitating for a
northern president, he has
never said he is not
interested.”
“But that is not the issue
now. The issue is that
Nigerians want to change
the PDP government. The
government is not capble.
There is no power, no
healthcare system, our
industries are completely
gone, our textiles are not
working, we cannot even
clothe our people,” Bello
stressed.
He noted that any right
thinking person would know
that the country is sinking,
adding: “for Nigeria to move
forward, the government has
to change. It is not also
about how the north is
preparing or scheming for
power but how Nigerians
will change their destinies.”
The President of Arewa
Youth Consultative Forum,
Alhaji Shettima Yerima said
President Jonathan cannot
take oath of office three
times. “After succeeding
Umaru Yar’Adua and again
took aoth of office in 2011, it
is not right for him to stand
election in 2015,” he said.
In view of this, Bello was very
optimistic that the merger
talks between some
opposition parties will see
the light of the day. He stated
that since they all have a
common goal to get
Jonathan and PDP out of
government, it will work out.
“Our manifesto is to get
Jonathan and PDP out of
government and restore
security to the country.”
But Alhaji Shettima Yerima,
an activist and President of
the Arewa Youth Consultative
Forum has a different view.
Yerima while speaking with
Saturday Vanguard on the
issue bluntly said: “The
merger will not work. It
didn’t work in the past and it
will not work now.
His
reasons
among
others
were that
the
personalities involved are
interested in power and
would go their separate
ways when it comes to the
issue of who becomes the
flag-bearer of the mega-
party.
“I see two different
ideologies coming together
to form a common front. I
can predict without any
doubt that the merger will
not work. If you look at
Buhari as a person and
Tinubu as a person, you will
see that they are two
different people with
different ideas. Even if you
look at Shekarau of Kano and
Buhari on the other hand,
you will see that they cant
work together. Every one of
them is looking for power
and at the end of the day,
when who emerges the flag-
bearer of the merger
becomes the issue, you will
see their true colours.
Yerima said rather than learn
from the past experience
people still tried to live in the
figment of their imgination
believing any good thing will
come out from the
arrangement.
Contrary to the views of
Senator Kanti Bello, Alhaji
Yerima said removing
Jonathan in 2015 would not
end the bad leadership in the
country. “Even if you remove
Jonathan, it will not end
Nigeria’s problem. Which of
the players is better? We
know all of them. So, for me,
Jonathan has not been a
problem and he will not be if
we have proper structure on
ground. What tells you the
next man coming in will not
be worse, The problem of
Nigeria is symptomatic,” he
said.
Yerima noted that the north
unlike what most people
think is not preparing for
2015 now. He added that the
region is only concerned
about how to mend fences
with other groups especially
their Christian brothers and
the Southerners who share
religious and ethnic
sentiments.
According to him, “the north
is not prepared because we
have a lot of issues to
contend with especially the
issue of insecurity which has
affected other parts of the
country. Already, there is
misgiving about religion in
the country. There is
suspicion between the two
religions and it is also
arousing ethnic sentiments.
Recent happenings have
clearly demonstrated that we
are not united. These are
what we are looking at right
now and that is our priority.
We have to unite our
Christian brothers from all
other parts of the country as
well as the Hausa/Fulani and
not about power. This is a
task that must be done. We
know that the moment there
is dichotomy between us, we
will begin to have problem,”
he stated.
Another view that cannot be
withered is that of Senator
Isa Kachako.
Isa Kachako, a former Military
Governor of Kastina State
who later became a Senator
agreed with the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, that
the debate on Jonathan runs
in 2015 is diversionary.
Frankly, the Senator opined
that Nigerians need more
service delivery than the
issue of Jonathan running in
2015.
He advised: “You can only
talk about campaigning
when it is about nine
months to 2015 and when it
is four months to the
election, you can tender your
resignation. But talking
about all these now amounts
to betrayal of trust to the
people. They should serve
the people first. He lamented
that instead of service
delivery, politicians are
concerned about power in
an election coming up in
another two years time. “It is
unfortunate that some of
these politicians knew how
they got to power but they
seem to have forgotten God
and instead of providing the
needs of the people, they are
talking about 2015.”
“We have very few politicians
of integrity. How can people
start talking about 2015 at
this stage of this
administration.
The security is still posing a
serious challenge, and how
can you do anything when
the security of life and
property is not guaranteed?
There is palpable fear and
despair in the country.”
On the opposition coming
together to join forces
together against the ruling
party in 2015, he stated that
there is nothing wrong with
the move. “they can come
together first because they
have a lot to do if they want
to achieve anything
meaningful. Fashioning out a
constitution for themselves
and other modalities for
achieving their goals are
some of the issues they need
to talk about.”
