Does the prophesy specify that if the election is free and fair APC will win? Cos if the election is not free and fair, prophecy has no place to sit o.
Moreover, I can also predict base on the climatic condition of the nigerian politics.

So driving has now turned to a scheme like a gulder ultimate search, nigerian idol where one go to compete with other contestants.
Notwithstanding, congrats to the graduates. And may they leave long with the certificate.

ngozievergreen: Now u are backing off. Its d same achebe that wrote there was a country. Where u nt d one dat said one was scattering d country? Wch book were u referring to? N wch part of d book didnt d yoruba like? Isnt it d one abt awolowo? So Awolowo on point!
The shame is dat he was doing dose tnz to b made president, dat was wat he signed with d north, but dey dissappointed him as Gowon continued. So because of his selfish interest, he led ur fathers to d war. Suffice it to note dat he evn supported Ojukwu on d secession bid earlier on, he had said if dose pogroms were against yorubas, he wud av done same tnz. But wen he was promised presido, he dropped his guard. D fact is many yorubas are dat way.
U saw a thread that has nothing to do with Achebe, u decided to begin a comparison because u saw Soyinka. And scrap dat football thing, i dnt knw much in dat side. Achebe is documented to be Africa's foremost writer. Things fall apart is just d most celebrated of all his classic novels, its not just d storyline, d literary styles too.
N pls and pls, dont compare Zik of Africa and Awo again. Zik didnt do any treacherous tn for power evn though he was d main fighter for independence. U stl have not told me d fictitious tnz u mean abt Achebe.

still wondering why every igbo talks the same thing about the civil war. Well you were fed by the same person.
You made mention of the pogrom in the north against the igbo but refused to talk about the igbo coup of jan 15 1966 killing other tribes' leader sparing theirs. Exactly what Professor Achebe did. So you expected the hausas to fold their hands and be watching?
I cant argue 'there was a country' with you cos you haven't read it, only the extract you came across on nairaland which is not even really part of the story.
Where was achebe during the civil war to write about his experience of the civil war. A man parading himself as the biafran ambassador in the US talking about his experience of the civil war.
About my first response to the thread. Yes am right! Achebe decided to be bias in his memoir of the civil war which is against historical ethics generating controversies. Soyinka saw what is wrong and decided to write against it through the the protesting women.
Achebe is a foremost writer, no doubt. Let me give you a related example like i have once cited to you. In olympic, if a country won a gold medal in an event, and another country won 1million silver in all the olympic events, the country with just one Gold medal would be ranked higher than the country with 1million silver medals.

Oh my God!
Naija movie dey very interesting. Since all this while the senate has taken the responsibility to track down the fraudulence act of Mr Maina. The senate even one time said they leave the fraudster to God to deal with him. When they realised that things are no more easy with the pensioners, the senate decided to shift the responsibility to the President to hand over Mr Maina to them.
The president kept mute for a while later ordered head of service to punish Maina just for going AWOL instead of the fraudulence allegation.
The latest news: Mr Maina has absconded.
Could all these episodes of the fraud allegation and the trial be called a 'delay tactics' to aid Mr Maina perfect the work he started and abscond?

Maybe OAU went to the competition with their white house medical students(part 1 medical students)!

ngozievergreen: Stop forming smart with me. I have read d extract dat is a source of worry to d yorubas and i have told u evn awolowo attested to dat after d war,claiming that it was his duty to fight his enemies wth blockade. So,its all true.
N abt Achebes literature superior to Wole's, more recognized, (works translated in diff languages is a sign of recognition), its true too.
Wat exactly did u say is fictitious sef?

what is my own concern with Obafemi Awolowo? Just like every other selfish past leaders like azikwe and the rest.
You only told me Awolowo attested to using a blockade as a weapon in the civil war but failed to tell me what was the rational and reasons behind the decision. Just like telling me the answer is 4. Is it 1+3=4, 2+2=4 or 0+4=4. Am not interested in the answer but what brought about the answer. Moreover, you expect him to fold his hands and be watching his enemy invading his territory? Typical example is you and I arguing, so you expect me to continue giving you points to beat me hands down?
Mind you, civil war is not something i like talking about cos it is a result of the mistakes of our so called heroes.
About Achebe and Soyinka. Achebe's work being recognised and translated to many languages doesn't make the former more recognised than the latter. David Bekcham is a very famous footballer, loved and recognised by many doesn't make him a better footballer than Pele in their football carriers. Achebe has a very interesting story in the 'things fall apart' novel doesn't mean he was excellent in his composition of all the elements of literature in the book. Those that possess the earthly knowledge of these are in Sweden.
Ngozi! The church bell is ringing.

why is seriake prickson acting like a hunter's dog that couldn't chase a grasscutter but chose to kill toad, lizard, etc that are not really useful for the hunter

i cant imagine argueing with that BUFFER called DENDE, with no atom of truth and intelligence even at old age. Well, maybe senile could be hypobolic adjective to qualify his deluded emotional cyber expression.
Still wondering what he spent his productive life doing!

A physically–challenged
barber, who abducted his
mother, Mrs. Kate Emienor, in
Benin City, Edo State and
detained her for 10 days at a
hideout in Ogwashi-Uku,
Delta State, while demanding
N20 million ransom to secure
her freedom , has been
nabbed by the police.
Commissioner of Police, Delta
State, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba,
who confirmed the incident,
yesterday, said, “It is true,
both the son and mother
that was kidnapped are in
our custody.”
Sunday Vanguard learnt that
the barber, suspected to be a
hardened criminal, allegedly
abducted her mother,
February 5, in Benin City,
where he operated a
barbing salon, and whisked
her to a hideout in Ogwashi-
Uku.
He reportedly alerted his
elder brother, based
overseas, that their mother
was kidnapped and the
abductors were demanding
N20 million ransom to
release her.
The ransom was later
reduced to N10 million when
his brother could not raise
the N20 million. Meanwhile,
unknown to the son, the
police were alerted about the
purported kidnap and they
put in place strategies to
track the abductors.
Sunday Vanguard gathered
that the suspect might have
brainwashed his mother into
agreeing to be abducted in
order to obtain money from
her son living outside the
country.
Aduba, who expressed
concern about the
involvement of family
members and insiders in
kidnapping, said, “The
suspect who arranged the
purported kidnap of his
mother was busy holding
meetings with other
members of the family on
how to release their mother,
whereas, he was responsible
for the abduction.”
The police boss disclosed
that the suspect held a
meeting with other members
of the family 24 hours before
he was arrested at about
4.00 pm on February 15,
adding that no ransom was
paid to rescue Mrs. Emienor.
His words, “The scourge is
getting worrisome as kidnap
cases are not abating with
idle youths turning their
energy negatively to the
detriment of the larger
society”.
Recalling the case of a man
who arranged the kidnap of
a friend, he said, “Hard time
awaits kidnappers in Delta
State; they will be smoked
out and made to face the full
wrath of the law, including
their sponsors, who always
lurk around”.
According to Aduba,
“Recently, a so-called human
rights activist and lawyer
was nabbed pants down
trying to pervert the course
of justice shamelessly in
Warri.
“His game of blackmailing
notwithstanding, let him
prove his innocence in court,
not before native doctors
cum spiritualists.
“I want to assure Deltans
that with their cooperation,
there is no hiding space for
sponsors of crime in the
state; once they are caught,
no compromise”.
A police source told Sunday
Vanguard, last night, “It is
likely the suspect will be
charged to court for the
kidnap of his mother, but the
mother will be used as a key
witness since it was obvious
she fell for the trap.”

ngozievergreen: Cum mikeansy or watever u call yourself. Close dis ur Yoruba mouth. Where did IBB see SE ppl that will vote for him? Look at dis boi o, u claim u come to d SE and all u cud decipher is dat Any northerner will get our votes. Mtchew
andhow do u think d yorubas will be able to compete with igbos if dey shd come to d SE? Igbos take over businessess across WA except of course fake pastoring.
Never ever compare urself to an an average igbo in any field ,else u lose. All of u ofemmanus are cowards starting frm Ogundipe(am sure u dnt know him sef)

later you will be claiming you aren't a tribalist and ethnocentric.

It really makes sense like that.
There is ability in disability even from the alphabetical characters of the word. Only that some physically challenged have complicated their ability with the prefix 'dis' making them to become a nuisanse to the society.

ngozievergreen: Leave him to call me a tribalist

u have always been ethnocentric and bigoted.

ngozi: After dragging chinua achebe to dis topic that has nothing to do with him

i made a comparison. Criticizing someone makes a person a tribalist?

ngozi: Achebe said d truth

better you understand the difference between truth and fiction,

ngozi: nobody expected [Yoruba] . They shd keep talking abt nobel prize while Achebe has gone higher dan Wole in international circles evn without the nobel prize.

in your wild dream. Achebe won't even dare say that himself.

ngozi: If 'there was a country' was wrong/false, y did Americans add it to IOS best books of 2012?

just like the normal friction naw.

ngozi: @ Tolexander

ya! Am following you.

ngozi: show me the fictitious tnz in d book .

have you read the book?

Dede1: If you had read the book and still talk about the award of nobel laureate or lack thereof as shown in your previous posts, I safely say you either have comprehensible deficiency or you are a tribal irredentist. I would ask you to check out the “Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad” and scintillating rebuttals by Achebe and “Things Fall Apart”, then you will begin to know why the Europeans do not want to add insults to injury by awarding Achebe the nonsensical nobel laureate. In the plateau of historical and philosophical approach to human nature, Achebe’s book, “Things Fall Apart”, had sent Heart of Darkness to the dustbin.

very sure you were dementialised by the biafrian war incidence maybe due to the progeria it caused on you in your childhood.
So far you love a book written by an author which pleases your putrified mind and bias emotion doesn't make it the best book. What literary intellectual capability have you to pass a judgement on the fate decided by the people that made literature their culture from the elementary studies to the peak of all knowledge that can be acquired by a man?

[quote author= Kennyblues]Today, most of those in
government are part of the
Boko Haram sect. To some
extent, some of them are part
of the sect because the
government is not paying any
attention to security issues.[/quote]this man is making sense than the topic made me to feel.

yerima: One can imagine the kind of
money going into security. Most
of the government officials have
taken their own part of the cake.
They believe that the more
deaths and crisis, the more
government votes money to
security and the more they
would get their own share.
Nobody cares about the roots of
the issue so that it can be
addressed once and for all. To
that extent, even President
Goodluck Jonathan who happens
to be a witness to the whole
issue admitted that really, there
are Boko Haram members in his
government. It is no longer news
that he said it himself. And if
there are Boko Haram members
in your government, what then
are you doing as a government
and President of the country?

it requires clue to act a role sir! And if one doesn't have that clue, then one is a RETARDEEN.

yerima: So, do we continue to fold our
hands and think that God would
come down to provide solutions
to our problems as a country?]

he said we should continue to pray that the people involved in bombing our nation should confess

yerima: They make so much money from
the vote without accounting for
it. Some of them want the
situation to continue so that they
can claim to be spending the
money to fight insecurity in their
states. I am afraid that some of
them can even send their thugs
to mastermind insecurity
somewhere and they would
claim to spend huge sums of
money there. Their main
allocation is what attracts the
attention of the people but in the
case of security vote, they spend
it any how they like. Even those
at the federal level also see the
security votes as an avenue to
make money.

i once said it that who is deceiving who when the Governor of Borno said he dialogued with the BOKO HARAM and they accepted to be paid in millions for amnesty.

Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
Governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido
Sanusi, yesterday said only a
sound economy could guarantee
security of life and property of
the citizens, adding that the Boko
Haram insurgents would persist
except the economy is fixed.
Sanusi, who spoke in Maiduguri,
at the flag off of CBN Financial
Inclusion Strategy Pilot
Implementation programme,
noted that poverty and
unemployment fuelled Boko
Haram uprising in Borno, which
later spread to some states in the
North.
He maintained that Nigeria
cannot solve the challenges of
Boko Haram until she fixes her
economy. “I believe that at the
heart of Boko Haram crisis in
Borno and other parts of the
country is unemployment and
poverty and we can never fix
security until we fix economy,”
he stressed. The apex bank boss
disclosed that the decision to
establish the Entrepreneurship
Development Centre (EDC) for the
North East, in Borno, was taken
at a Bankers Committee
conference in Calabar last year,
having noted the strategic
position of the state to the
growth of national economy and
the need to improve the
economy of the people of the
area.
He said he believes the effort
would substantially address the
security challenge in the area.
According to him, the financial
inclusion strategy is aimed at
increasing access to financial
services, such as payments,
savings, remittance, pension,
insurance and credit facility at
affordable cost. “Each time
Nigerians discuss Borno, it is
always Boko Haram issue but we
feel people should not be
overwhelmed by the Boko Haram
thing and we should not be
obsessed by it,’ he warned.
Sanusi disclosed that the CBN
would partner with the Borno
government by building a centre
of excellence at the University of
Maiduguri and investing in
development of secondary
schools as parts of the apex
bank’s intervention in the
education sector. He explained
that the EDC was conceived by
the CBN with supports from the
Committee of Bankers to train
youths on various skills. He said
the Financial Inclusion Strategy
programme was designed to
make banking activities and
service closer to the people, even
as he charged the people to use
the opportunity provided by the
information technological
especially with mobile telephone.
Also speaking, Minister of
Communication Technology, Mrs.
Omobola Johnson, disclosed that
over 200 base stations belonging
to two major telecommunication
providers have been destroyed in
Borno, by suspected Boko Haram.
She called on the state
government and communities to
provide adequate security for the
base stations and
telecommunication facilities in
the state, adding that they “are
national facilities though belong
to private communication
companies.” She also disclosed
that more facilities of the
Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST)
will be established in other local
governments in the state “where
the services or facilities are
currently not available.”
The minister also noted that
NIPOST services was vital in
getting many Nigerians included
in the CBN project and will
equally be required to drive the
micro-financial banks especially
in the rural areas. Borno State
governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima,
thanked the CBN governor and
the communication minister for
their understanding that job
creation was a better panacea to
tackling youth restiveness and
insurgence, like Boko Haram.
He stated that the state
government had invested N120.5
million on the establishment of
micro-finance banks, stressing
that all the processes have been
completed and now waiting for
the release of the license. While
appealing to telecom companies
to repair their facilities in the
state destroyed by suspected
Boko Haram, he assured that
government “will ensure
maximum security of all the base
stations and telecommunications
facilities in the state.”

The Tinubu magistrate court
sitting in Lagos on Thursday
ordered that,the 15 Russians
who were arrested by
Nigerian Navy on Oct. 2012
over an alleged illegal
importation of firearms and
ammunition in the country
be further remanded in
prison custody till Feb 19,
when their bail application
would be heard.
The presiding magistrate
said the extension is to
enable the accused to be
formally charged before the
Lagos High Court by the
Attorney General of the
Federation.
The 15 accused are
Zhelyazkov Andrey, 53,
Savchenko Sergrey, 36,
Chichikanov Vasily, 49,
Varlygin Igor, 48, Komilov
Alexandr, 32, Lopatin Alexey,
38, Baranovskly Nikolay, 50,
Mishin Pavel, 31, LLia Shubov,
33, and Dmitry Bannyrn, 40.
Others were Alexander
Tsarikov, 44, kononov sergel,
44, Korotchenko Andrey, 23,
Vorobev Mikhail, 40 and
Stepan Oleksuik, 52.
The hearing of the bail
application which was
previously fixed on Thursday
Feb.14 could not hold as the
prosecutor, Mr Effiong
Asuquo (a superintendent of
police from the Special Fraud
Unit) urged the court to
stand down the matter, that
the Attorney-General of the
Federation had declared his
intention to take over the
matter.
However the Attorney -
General could not show up in
the court till about 11am
when the matter was called
again,during which the
prosecutor made a verbal
application asking the court
to further remand the
accused and adjourn the
matter till Tuesday 19
February.
He held that the accused
have filed a bail application
before the Lagos High Court
and that the matter has
already been fixed on
Tuesday Feb.19, for hearing.
Reacting to this, the counsel
firm to the Russians, Mr
Segun Sipeolu and Edidiong
E.Idiong prayed the court to
release the accused on liberal
terms,pending when the
Attorney General and the
police would be ready to file
charges adding that the
accused have been in
government custody for the
past four months.
Consequently, the presiding
magistrate Oyindamole
Ogalla(Mrs) ordered that the
15 accused persons be
remanded in prison custody
till February 19, saying that
the date is the most
appropriate since the
accused have filed an
application for bail before
the Lagos high court while
the prosecutor has equally
asked the court for
adjournment of the the
matter till the same date.

Is there anyone with the video prediction from T.B JOSHUA?

the baby looks like Jay-Z.
But the irony of life is that the baby may refuse to trail the route of her parent's success. And may not also live up to the expectation from her.

lobatan!
Signed an agreement or not. If Jonathan was smart enough i believed he should have a counter agreement to outsmart the God forsaken 'born to rule' northern leaders. But i doubt Jonathan having it. Trust OBJ, that is why it is good to be cunny at times.
Little wonder he had to refute and dissociated himself from the Jan 1st poster of his 2015 presidential campaign.

ngozievergreen: I dedicate dis post to Tolexander. If dem leave dem now, dey start making a fool of demselves by comparing soyinka to Achebe. Since everything must go triba among dem.
If dey dnt like a truthful book abt a writer because he pointed an accusing finger on Awolowo, dey can go and hug d transformer.
How dose ppl can b uninformed, awolowo evn attested in an international journal dat he did those blockade tnz- stressing datz how he showed his patriotism to his country. N today, some yorubas will dare say Awolo didnt do it. These are well documented.
Wole Soyinka shd go and meet d FG, dose of u saying due process are misled. Fashola wont change anything, its not his idea, nt evn in his powers.......

no ma ngozi! I av always known you to be igbo ethnocentric, bigot and tribalist like Chinua Achebe. Check all my posts, am not a tribalist but always try to counter anything achebe's 'there was a country'. Did you read the book in question? If you weren't bias enough, though you are very ethnocentric like i've known you to be, you will understand that the book is one sided when you compare the known fictionist history to the real historean's history of nigeria.

Was thinking of u saying some additional buttons and sections.
Wanted to crave for a slap button. But latter realised that i could have been slapped 20 times before i would make a slap.
For additional section, wanted to demand for psychiatric section. Just remembered it isn't necessary, just click on musiwa's post.

What population census gave Nigerian citizen 160million self?
2006 Census that was full of flaws

Funny how people like Sanusi and co will always survive this kind of attack and saddens how innocent citizens mostly die in the attacks.
Still trying to understand the tricks behind it. Am afraid i may not gat the tricks cos nigeria is full of polytricks in which only the actors involved can understand.

waiting for the outcome of the meeting before making further comment.
But selfishness shouldn't be their watchword!

simdam500: yea u right. Ur bros just acted just lyk ma elder bros too. He'll even ask me to woo an elderly lady @ age 12-13. By d time he left d street. Pple wil say "u knw even resemble ur bro" cos i'm always shy too tho.
Did u still contact ur prexxxty gurl

u ard shy to carry on?
Mine is even worse than those bros.
The gurl travelled out of the country after our SSCE. And no social media then except for yahoomail. Sad to tell you she is now happily married with a son.

Dede1: Are you afraid the dilapidated house known as Nigeria is about to collapse?

exactly what we were afraid would happen in 1967-1970.
But to our surprise it is still standing and waxing stronger!

Baba Suwe vs NDLEA: Court to hear N25m judgment appeal April 28

By Innocent Anaba

The Court of Appeal sitting in, Lagos, Friday adjourned till April 8, 2013, to hear the appeal by National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, against a judgment debt of N25m ordered against it in favour of Mr Babatunde Omidina, alias Baba Suwe in 2011.

A Lagos High Court, Ikeja, had in a judgment in the suit by Baba Suwe on November 24, 2011, ordered the agency to pay him N25m,for detaining him beyond the legal time limit on a suspicion of drug ingestion.

The lower court also ordered the agency to apologise to the actor publicly in conspicuous pages of two national dailies.

Hearing in the appeal, could not go on Friday, as presiding judge, Justice Chima Nweze noted that the appeal was wrongly listed for motion instead of arguments.

It will be recalled that Baba Suwe was arrested by NDLEA men at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagod on the October 12, 2011 on allegations of ingestion of a restricted narcotics.

He was alleged to have been detained without any evidence that he ingested any narcotic, as he did not excrete any of such substance throughout the period of his incaceration.

The lower court in its judgment, held that the detention of the actor and the ill treatment meted on him while in custody violated his constitutionally-guaranteed rights.

NDLEA in the appeal,is praying the court to set aside the judgment, on the grounds, that the award of N25m in favour of Baba Suwe was arbitrary, further arguing that the trial court wrongly assumed jurisdiction to hear the suit.

The agency is contending that keeping the respondent in custody between October 12 and 21, 2011, on the suspicion of drug ingestion, did not violate his rights.

kingoflag: Lmao

But the pic looks to have been taken around that era. I would assume.

then my story is true then.
The earliest time i think the pic was taken should be mid or late 70s base on the graphics and resolution of the camera

Imagine!
So the order to arrest Maina is not even base on the pension fraud allegation but for just going AWOL(away without leave).
Why must we leave leprosy alone and start treating dandruff?

Just thinking about my childhood experience then i remembered one of those things dad used in scaring me when i was young.
We had a calendar then that had Jesus' image, dad told me that if i commit any evil at home when nobody is around, that the Jesus image in
the calendar is watching everything. I used to be very scared that time to commit any sin cos dad said if Jesus sees me, he will throw me to the lake of fire immediately and many other things we did hear in sunday school. There was this day when i saw fried fish on the table in the sitting room, it caught my eyes that i intended stealing but i was scared seeing calendar Jesus watching me. That day i just summoned courage and said actually this fried fish was not supposed to be on the table in the sitting room that it was supposed to be in thekitchen. Then i moved it to the
kitchen and balanced with it actually, there was no calendar jesus looking at me in the kitchen. I finished the fried fish that day.


I believe everyone also have one or two experience(s) like this, will be very glad tohear your own story also.

kingoflag: I'm not claiming to know anything o!

But, I'm kinda good in Geography so I'd like to know how the bolded is possible if Lagos is on one side of the Country and the Cameroonian border is on the other?

better u believe me if you believe the year the OP said the picture was snapped.
Was only playing along with the OP.

another version of titanic!
His step mother place a death curse on him: fallacy of false cause.
