Abrantie: [size=16pt]CRISPY DINNER CHICKENS ARE IRRELEVANT. LESS THAN 48 HRS FROM NOW, THEIR TIME IN THE SPOTLIGHT WILL BE OVER. BLACK STARS WILL STILL REMAIN #1 OR #2 WHILE NIGERIA INCHES UP TO #87.

YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT REFUSED TO PAY FOR BROADCAST RIGHTS, YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE THEY KNEW YOUR TEAM DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE IN THE TOURNAMENT. THAT'S HOW MUCH YOUR TEAM SUCKS! [/size]

I'M GLAD THAT OUR GOVT DECIDED NOT TO WASTE OUR MONEY ON BROADCAST RIGHTS JUST TO WATCH A TEAM LIKE GHANA DANCING AROUND THE FIELD AS IF LOOKING FOR KENKE MOULD TO EAT. NEXT TIME EAT MORE OF YOUR KENKE BEFORE MATCHES BECAUSE YOU LOOK SO FRAGILE AND MALNOURISHED

Origami III: Ghana and Nigeria are like brothers.I support ghana to win against Mali.Black stars all the way for the bronze.

The same measure like this should have been taken during the release of District 9 film where Nigerians  including our own Obasanjo were  portrayed as gangsters, LovePeddlers and gun runners. That was bad for our image.

Dareh, because he is original and not a copy-cat. You can only win a grammy by being original . Take a closer look at others, they are all karaoke singers except Asa or the Kutis.

Naija women and their little brains! A woman who refuses to take her husband last name has a total disregard for matrimony and would be ready to break up the marriage at any slightest problem or argument. She is a free woman and single. Whay will be her title; Mrs, Miss, Ms or Madam? Followed by her maiden name. I will never allow any woman to hyphenate or dilute my name. What God has joined together should be one.

In order to foster national unity and inter - racial integration, do you think we should abandon the concept of State of Origin and replace it with State of Residence?

Only N35billon for education? But the MDG required that at least 26% of the budget of each year should go on education. No wonder we are failing our youths

I smell a gold-digger!

That is why you are still single at your age, and you will remain so for a long time

Every successful relationship is based on trust. Checking her phone means you do not trust her. Why should she allow you to do so? Are you really planning to marry her with this doubt in your mind? I think you are not ready for her yet.

They should stop telling lies about Okonjo Iweala. She did not made those atatements attributed to her. Read her recent comments about Nzigeria

Shame on them

As Nigeria's election jamboree returns - with candidates splashing money on billboards, TV commercials and rallies - it is the willingness of musicians to be mobilised in their support that is causing some singers to wince.
Some of the country's best-loved artists - D'banj, Onyenka Onwenu, Zaaki Azzay, TwoShotz - are all singing their support for President Goodluck Jonathan.
But not everyone is dancing.
Afrobeat singer Seun Kuti is disgusted.
"Traitor," he says, angrily.
"Anybody using their music to support Nigerian politicians is a traitor - first to music, and secondly to the country."
While billions of oil dollars vanish into the private bank accounts of Nigeria's political elite every month, over 70% of Nigerians struggle to exist on less than a dollar a day.
Since the end of military rule, the governing People's Democratic Party (PDP) has won every election amid reports of voter intimidation, allegations of ballot-stuffing and street violence.
The next presidential elections have been set for 9 April 2011 and campaigning is well underway.
'Not about money'"Music is one of the foremost weapons that is supposed to emancipate this continent," says Kuti.
"When I now see it being used for oppression, used against the people, it is totally wrong."
Nigeria's powerful tradition of musical struggle is offended.
The era of Afrobeat saw Fela Kuti - Seun Kuti's father - enrage and defy the generals of successive military regimes with his revolutionary fusion of jazz, highlife and funk.
Prophetic lyrics mocked the greed of politicians, attacked police violence and defied brutal censorship to tell Nigeria's story.
Olubankole Wellington - better known as Banky W, one of Nigeria's biggest stars - pulls a face, as he talks about an offer he received.
"I was offered the most amount of money I have ever been offered, by one of the presidential candidates," he says, looking astonished.
He declined.
"I just could not go to sleep at night if I support this man," he says, shaking his head.
"It's important for us that have a public voice to try to steer the country to where we think it should be, otherwise we're going to face the same problems, in 20 years' time, because no-one spoke up for the country at the time."
Most of the artists releasing campaign songs declined to speak publicly about the deals they had signed with politicians.
The manager of the singer TwoShotz told the BBC that their song was aimed at encouraging Nigerians.
"We hoped our song would send a message, to encourage people to go out and vote," he said.
Another musician, Zaaki Azzay, who has recorded a song for President Jonathan has denied receiving any payment for his endorsement.
"It is not about money. I support Mr Jonathan's policies and the change I believe he can offer," he says.
Power"A lot of experts think the youths don't come out to vote, but these artists have a very huge fan base," says Abidemi Dairo, a 24-year-old music writer in Lagos.
"If Goodluck Jonathan can reach out to them, he stands a really good chance of winning," he believes.
Goodluck Jonathan is counting on the votes of young NigeriansThe last time artists were mobilised like this, in mass support of politicians, was over 10 years ago.
General Sani Abacha's "two million man march" featured entertainers and comedians who were paid for their endorsement.
In spite of protests that they had performed under duress, many of those filmed taking part in the spectacle suffered serious damage to their careers, never regaining their credibility.
In a country where the average age is 19, most Nigerians - certainly many of those dancing in the nightclubs - are too young to remember this period.
It is clear that politicians are acutely aware of Nigeria's huge youth population and are desperate to tap into the adulation successful hip-hop artists, singers and rappers enjoy.
But whether a catchy song will change the way they vote is another question.

Cosmetic surgery. I hope they don t become instruments of oppression during the election.

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has arrested one Mr Uche Nnaji in Zaria, Kaduna State, for producing and selling illegal assorted alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, during its routine surveillance recently.


The production of the fake drinks was being carried out at 11, Ibo Road, and sold in a shop operated by his wife, located at 20 Ibo Road, Sabon Gari.
A statement by the public relations officer, North West zone, Jessica Okwuchi, made available to newsmen in Kaduna, the production room was a ram-shackled mud block structure with its ceiling falling down and its environment unhygienic for the production of such drinks.
At the backyard various sizes of empty bottles, mostly in 750ml, were found.
The illegal products were Seaman's Schnapps, Lord's dry gin, famous distilled dry gin, First Lady, the sparkling grape juice, Capel, First Heaven and other assorted drinks which were deceitfully labeled.
Also discovered were liquid suspected to be ethanol and prepared wine in GP tanks.
There were assorted packaging materials of various drinks, like the neck bottle foil wrap, neck of bottle labels, crown corks, cork wire mesh and body of bottle labels.
The unit head of the agency, Mr Innocent Ahemen, said the suspected ethanol and prepared wine were destroyed, while the assorted packaging materials and cartons of drink found were seized.

Nigerians gather at National Assembly Abuja to protest the electoral amendment bill by National Assemly

Not only the banks, they also killed the economy with unrivalled level of corruption; they killed the infrastructures with their callous selfishness; they killed the freedom of the press with open intimidation and violence. They also killed the democracy with politics of thuggery

Nigeria's anti-corruption agency is to charge former US Vice-President Dick Cheney over a bribery scandal that involves a former subsidiary of energy firm Halliburton.
The case centres on engineering firm KBR, which admitted bribing officials.
A lawyer for Mr Cheney said allegations he was involved in the scandal were "entirely baseless".
Mr Cheney was Halliburton's chief executive before becoming vice-president to George W Bush in 2001.
A spokesman for the anti-corruption agency, Femi Babafemi, said the charges were likely to be brought against Mr Cheney next week.
Mr Babafemi said the charges were "not unconnected to his role as the chief executive of Halliburton".
KBR last year pleaded guilty to paying $180m (£115m) in bribes to Nigerian officials prior to 2007, when it was a subsidiary of Halliburton. The firm agreed to pay $579m (£372m) in fines related to the case in the US.
But Nigeria, along with France and Switzerland, has conducted its own investigations into the case.
Mr Cheney's lawyer, Terence O'Donnell, said US investigators had "found no suggestion of any impropriety by Dick Cheney in his role of CEO of Halliburton".
"Any suggestion of misconduct on his part, made now, years later, is entirely baseless," Mr O'Donnell said.
Office raid
The bribes concerned the construction of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in southern Nigeria.
KBR and Halliburton have now split, and Halliburton says it is not connected with the case against KBR.
Halliburton denies involvement in the allegations.
It has complained that a raid on its office last week by Economic and Financial Crimes Commission officials was "an affront against justice".
Ten people were detained for questioning and later released.
A prosecutor quoted by the Agence France-Presse news agency said those charged would include former and current leaders of Halliburton and officials from firms in a consortium involved in the LNG plant.
Nigeria is a member of the oil cartel Opec and is one of the world's biggest oil exporters.
