nurus: I don't think there is need to have NDA in all regions.Am use to the happenings in NDA and if you watch closely, southerner always control the affair of Nigeria Navy and Airforce because most of their activities is based on merit except for Nigeria Army which is based on man know man.

.....and you seem to have forgotten that Nigeria is structured in a way that the region that controls the Army automatically controls the country, trust me, the Nigerian Army is well equipped to quash any rebellion from our Navy and Airforce put together, if you are doubting ask any military personnel you will be loaded with 'more'! We just need to have more NDAs for security reasons!

Andre Uweh: The law school example should be applied in this scenario. Now we have law schools in the east, west and north.

Exactly Andre, you just spoke my mind right there! Why can't they apply the same law on the NDA issue, I was just wondering how come other tribes allow the singular mistake of having the NDA in the core North despite other military establishments already built there,could that be another scheme from 'Buckingham Palace' to give Nigeria away into the hands of their cronies (Northern Oligarchy)? Just wondering

.....and this made the front page **tomakint passes by**

At the beginning of the Journey, the ‘Military Might’ of this great Country was placed either consciously or unconsciously into the hands of the core north. Out of the 18 security outfits of the young country then, 14 were placed in the core north region, principal among these outfits was the Nigerian Defense Academy (NDA) and the next sly move was the introduction of the ethnic quota system (in recruitment of soldiers into the Nigerian Army) to favour the Northern Region in the ratio of 60%, 15% each to Eastern and Western Nigeria and finally 10% to the Mid-Western region. This miscalculation placed the military power of this nation solely into the hands of the northern oligarchy. What Nigeria need to really breakthrough from the firm grip of this warped arrangement is to solicit for a new NDA in other remaining 5 regions. Agreed the one NDA is a sign of our unified armed forces numbers but what happened when the Nigerian Army (N.A) has become the Northern Army (still N.A). Indeed there is a PROBLEM!

Lionel Messi hailed as 'incredible' and 'gigantic' by Gerd Muller after Barcelona star breaks record for most goals
Gerd Muller has hailed Lionel Messi as "an incredible player" after the Barcelona star broke his record for the most goals in a calendar year. Muller grabbed 85 goals for Bayern Munich and West Germany in 1972 and the mark stood for 40 years until last night when Messi netted his 85th and 86th goals of an incredible 2012 in Barca's 2-1 win at Real Betis.
Muller led the tributes today, telling Sport1.de: "My record stood for 40 years - 85 goals in 60 games - and now the best player in the world has broken it, and I'm delighted for him.
"He is an incredible player, gigantic."
Muller, whose record as Germany's all-time top goalscorer is also under threat from Miroslav Klose, now hopes Messi will add to his tally before the end of the year.
"He's such a nice and modest professional and I hope he gets one or two more goals in 2012 and that he can then hold onto the record for the next 40 years," he added.

Sagamite: I think the 2 greatest prior to him were Pele and Maradona.

It is had to make comparisons because:

- Maradona played in a not so strong club football team while Messi plays in the best football team I have ever seen.

- Pele played in an era when it was part-time fishermen that were footballers and never played abroad in his prime while Messi plays with some of the greatest athletes ever seen and plays in one of the best leagues in the world and frequently against the best.

But against both he has won more individual awards and is doing the impossible while playing with the best.

Maradona is more inspirational but Messi has replicated everything he did individually on the pitch including his best goal.

Pele only played in an era where most of the players probably had my fitness, even the international players.

Okay, I lied about my fitness but you get the point.



That argument is not even specious at all.

- They were not even in the 10 for both FIFA and EU awards.
- If it was political, a foreigner would not win an EU one.



Nah! They play different roles but they surely do not have more dribbling skills, pace or dead ball skills than Messi.

Iniesta comes close in dribbling but is still behind.

Xavi comes close in dead balls but is still behind.

Vision-wise, they are both better but that is their jobs as midfielders.

As I said above, the two have the privilege of playing with many Barca/La Masia team-mates in national team. Messi does not. Unlike them, he has to play with team-mates that don't know the passing game he played last weekend and for 9 months in a year.

Put Iniesta in Argentine team and they would still win nada.

Put Xavi in Argentine team and they would still win nada.

It is the team style of play that makes Spain win. Xavi and Iniesta are key components, not the sole components.



He mostly plays like a support striker, not an out-and-out striker.

Barca plays with 3 support strikers.



Even if THEY work harder than him, they are not even in his league to mention them in the same breath.

I said he works harder than the likes of Pele.



And so?

He out-scored them when he left the midfield.



And so?

Messi has a better scoring record overall.




27? That is 5 years still left in him.

Maradona won the WC at 26 and was still king at 30.

Pele won the WC at 30.

27? So?



Messi does have an advantage but CR is not even in his league.

Compare CR to the likes of Henry, Gullit, Muller, Di Stephano etc.

Abeg free that guy you have given him enough lectures!!! Can you imagine him 'lecturing' us that C.Ronaldo is better than Messi

Eifeh: Football is not war, dat is what mumu-rinho fail to understand

abeg tell them oooo, because some analyses here about the greatness of Messi is not only laughable but very irritating and pointless especially from coogar and pazienta

.....and just like that, OluwaMessi is picking up another Ballon d'Or come January 7th, 2013 making it a record 4 consecutive Ballon d'Or Awards for any footballer in the history of the game, Ronaldo and Mourinho go tire for chasing this bionic man!!!

The pictures below are the reasons why I called him "OluwaMessi"! He is a "Football Genius"! Congrats OluwaMessi, o ti daaju (you are too good)!!!

Naturalwaves (my brother tokan tokan) Vs Safarigirl (the supergirl) waoI can't wait for the e-battle to be declared open in yet to be confirmed cinema somewhere in Lagos Island. I dey for sidelines dey watch the battle ahead, get your ticket nowwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

So? Imagine this lame article made the front page

Imagine this 'Father Christmas' sef dey analyse chei Naija don hear am! No be only 20 years after you don loot and re-loot the treasury during and after your stoopid regime, but our 'rulers' get mind sha

Another 'beautiful one' from my people, king of the espionage world! Seriously, I just LOVE THE JEWS!!!

A once cute lady, all of a sudden grown to be 'something else'! What a wasted life of a beautiful life!!!

naturalwaves: ^^^^ Unfortunately, all you put up there is not gonna change the fact that Dbnj is a bigger star than Tuface at the moment. Even Psquare is bigger than Tuface at the moment and if care is not taken Wizkid will even outwit hin(if he hasn't ).

You already know my taste bro, the more reason I cannot give a convincing points to a 'die-hard fan of D'banj' once again Safarigirl got you there with her last post, are you not going to challenge that with your 'points'? You nearly choke me with laughter with the way you hyped dbanj in your last post to me.

odumchi: I am well aware that eke and agwo are different. However, we treat all snakes the same, whether oguru (cobra) or eke nmini (python).

Is it true that in a particular place at Okija cobras are venerated, don't know please enlighten me

afam4eva: I watched a program on TV where i saw the place. There are pretty good houses there.

You need to be there live my bro! The last time I visited was in 2007, one can imagine what that place (Abiriba) would looked like now!

Abiriba Autonomous Community was tagged Nigeria’s “Small London” by the great Zik of Africa in the 50s when he paid a visit there during one of his many campaign trips to the place. Abiriba is in Ohafia Local Government Area in Abia State, indeed the community is a master class infrastructural wise and I can tell you that as a community, it is a place to behold! I have heard of beautiful and well planned structures too at Mambilla Hills in Taraba State and I was told its one of the most beautiful place in Nigeria but what about Abiriba?

We do have a lucky number in our respective lives that bring us good fortunes if only we are conversant with those numbers whether we believe or not. Numerologists came with a concept that clearly defines how we can arrive at our lucky numbers. If for instance, someone was born on 8th July, 1985 numerically that means, 08/07/1985! Numerologists now device the concepts that when you add up all the numbers in your date of birth you must arrive at a single digit which automatically becomes your ‘Lucky Number’! The addition is as follows; 8+7+1985 =2000 and the next step is to add 2+0+0+0 = 2 therefore this guy lucky number is 2!
Note: Everything must end in a single unit!
*Mine is 6, what is yours? Have fun

Nothing special about December, it's like any other months except it is the 12th month

Truth be told, there is nothing white in all those labeled 'white weddings'

I will premise my article on a portion from the Holy Writ, the Bible (KJV), in the book of Proverbs chapter 26 verse 2, it reads, “As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.” The above passage indicates that curse will not just come upon you except you have done something wrong to warrant it. Under religious interpretation, curse is an evil pronouncement, it could be a spell cast on someone, or words spoken carelessly and stamped by wandering demons, hence, working negatively against the good destinies of someone. Many of our parents (especially in Black Africa and particularly in Nigeria) are fond of cursing for no justifiable reason and this attitude has caged many bright destinies of many individuals. A typical example of parents cursing children was well captured in the Bible in the book of Genesis 49: 1-28 where Jacob gathered his children together and pronounce words of blessings and curses on them as deemed fit, my point of emphasis was in verses 5-7 where he declared negatively into the lives of Simeon and Levi for their spirits of anger and curse them according to his word. If you trace the lineage of Levi down you will see that Moses was a descendant of Levi (Exodus 2: 1-10) and if you critically examined the life of that great servant of God to the time he ‘struck the rock’ instead of him ‘speaking to the rock’ as commanded by God, you will agree with me that the spirit of anger in him was manifested and eventually cost him the Promised Land.

If you have been cursed by your parents before and you know it, do your best while they are still alive to reverse it into blessings for you, buy them something they will appreciate because curse is an impediment to the progress of one’s destiny in life. If they are dead and you are still under the influence of those curses kindly take time to seek for counseling from your pastors or men of God to advise you on what to do. The truth is, curses from parents to their children are very potent because its effects are futuristic long after the parents would have died and the cursed child or children would have forgotten. It’s an act that must be discontinued by godly parents because it will backfire on the parents no matter what whether the child deserved to be cursed or not. Curses are dream killers and delayers of one’s breakthroughs in life. Like I used to say, “Blessings and Curses are seeds that can germinate, be careful” parents in the house take note of this. My point!!!

Redmosquito: It took me 2 bottles of Chelsea to see the dolphiins

Minions: Roger that boss

This news is a belated one! Anyway thanks for giving Nigeria her due recognition at last, I have been waiting for this news for a long time may be by next year we should be in the 3rd position!

They make us feel glad thereby reducing the adrenalin surge in us. Laughter as they say, is the best blood tonic and this is what they give us. Some guys are just experts in dishing out good jokes to make us feel this way! My 3 favourites comedians are:
(1) Eddie Griffin (American)
(2) BasketMouth (Nigerian)
(3) Eddie Murphy (American)

Over to you Nairalanders, state your three favourites.....

kabba7: Nigerians must stop playing ludo games with numbers how many billions is Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu having that he will give a whole one billion Naira to one person in a farmers state ℓi̶̲̥̅ke̶̲̥̅ Ondo to distribute for free even the nation looters ( PDP) can't afford that seriously speaking !

Farmer's State for your mind! Have you heard of Chief Pius Akinyelure before? In case you haven't, that's Tinubu's godfather and he is from Idanre in Ondo State! huh!!

Imagine how 'Alasoadura' turned into 'Alaso-ole'

Johnnoah1st: Oh shit!!! If am one of d benfica defenders i would have send him to six month in injury, and morover barca is fluke without messi likewise messi is fluke without barca, if not 4 dose wasteful benfica players dey would have beat barca nothing less dan 5-0, those benfica team play d hell out of barca

....and you are quick to forget that the Barca side are mostly our B and C team

ceospecial: MESSI! This is a one in a lifetime opportunity, get D fu*k Up and play!

He will and will surely smash Gerd Muller's record and set a new beautiful one in this year (2012)!. He may likely miss one match in the remaining 4 matches to play for before this year ends!
