PoliticsRivers Assembly Majority Leader,chidi Lloyd, Arrested For Murder by zizman(op): 6:43pm On Jan 03, 2014
The Rivers State Police Command said it had arrested the
Leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Mr. Chidi
Lloyd, for the alleged murder of his kinsman, Mr. Kingsley
Ejeuo and a police sergeant, Urang Obediah.
A statement made on Thursday night indicated that Lloyd was
purportedly arrested on his way to join the state Governor, Mr.
Rotimi Amaechi, in his private jet in order to escape justice.
The statement sent via e-mail by the State Police Public
Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, specified that
Lloyd knocked down Obediah while pursuing Ejeuo, identified
to be his political opponent.
Lloyd, who was still standing trial for his involvement in the
fracas that took place in the State House on July 9, 2013, was
said to have rammed into Ejeuo's Passat car with a bulletproof
vehicle and killed him (Ejeo).
The police command pointed out that it had initially thought it
was an auto accident until Lloyd relocated to another hospital,
"conscious of what he did."
"The Rivers State Police Command has arrested Hon. Chidi
Llyod of the Rivers State House of Assembly for murder of
police Sgt. Urang Obediah and Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo, his
kinsman and arch political opponent.
"He was arrested on his way to join Governor Amaechi Rotimi
in his private jet at the Airforce base to escape justice.
"Hon. Chidi Lloyd on December 30, 2013 while pursing his
political opponent, knocked down Sgt. Urang Obediah, in spite
of his effort to stop him, rammed and killed him and went
ahead to crush the Passat car of Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo was
driving and killed him.
"Initially the Police thought that it was a mere accident, which
ought to have been a manslaughter. The Commissioner of
Police directed ACP Aliyu Garba, the Area Commander Metro,
to visit him in his hospital bed and commiserate with him,
conscious of what he did, Chidi Lloyd relocated to another
hospital.
"Facts emerged that Chidi Lloyd drove a bullet-proof vehicle
while pursuing his political opponent, late Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo,
and he (Lloyd) knocked down Sgt. Urang Obediah, who died
on the spot and (Lloyd) moved ahead to smash a political
opponent in his Passat car who equally died instantly," the
statement reads.
The statement added that late Ejeuo, who hailed from the same
place with Lloyd was believed to be in the PDP camp led by
Elder Felix Obuah.
The statement also indicated that the Leader of the House
allegedly escaped from the hospital where he was being
guarded by four policemen.
However, a top government official told our correspondent that
the claim by the police that Lloyd tried to join Amaechi in his
(Amaechi) private jet in order to escape justice was a blatant
lie.
It will be recalled that Lloyd, who presented himself to the
Nigeria Police after a video clip showed him hitting a member
of the House of Assembly, Mr. Michael Chinda, with a mace
on the head, was charged to court on a six-count charge,
including attempted murder.
Lloyd was later granted bail in order to receive medical
attention after sustaining injury during the July 9, 2013 free-
for-all in the chambers of the State House of Assembly.
SportsNigeria International Sunday Mba Joins Bastia by zizman(op): 2:28am On Jan 03, 2014
The 25-year-old midfielder saw a proposed transfer to the
Stade d'Erbajolo collapse back in September but the deal has
now belatedly gone through
By Mark Doyle
3 Jan 2014 00:45:00
Nigeria international Sunday Mba
has completed his move from Warri
Wolves to Bastia.
The midfielder, who last week left
his country's camp for the upcoming
African Nations Championship to
travel to France, has put pen to paper on an 18-month contract
with the Ligue 2 strugglers.
Mba had agreed to join Bastia back in September but the deal
collapsed when Warri Wolves pulled out of talks at the last
minute.
However, the 25-year-old, who was Nigeria's hero in last
January's Africa Cup of Nations final victory over Burkina Faso,
has now got this wish to move to the Stade d'Erbajolo.

Romance10 Signs She Is Only Using You by zizman(op): 9:03pm On Jan 01, 2014
Nothing hurts more than knowing that the person you want
to be with does not want to be with you and sometimes the
best thing you can do for yourself in such situation is to let
go.
So, you want to know if the lady you are with is only using
you for financial gain, company or some other selfish reasons,
here are the top 10 tips to look out for.

1. CONSTANTLY ASKING FOR FAVORS: You know,
this is not even about girls but trust nobody who constantly ask
you for favors, they are only taking advantage. In the case of
girls, if she constantly asks for your help especially when it
comes to finances and buying stuff for her, it's just clear that
she is in for the goodies, don't be fooled bro .. some even ask
for favors that Bill Gates daughter won't even ask her father.

2. SHE NEVER RETURN YOUR CALLS: She barely return
your text messages and missed calls and when she does, it's
mostly the 'k', 'lol' 'yes' kind of replies after taking days to

respond. I need not tell you that she's not interested in you.
3. SHE ALWAYS COMES OUT WITH YOU WITH HER
GIRLS: This is a clear sign to alert you that this girl don't want
alone time, she's only there to please her friends or make her
friends enjoy a bit of the goodies you are offering. Look
elsewhere or grab one of her friends if you can. Some girls
might even bring male friends just to piss you off, while you
foot the bills.

4. SHE NEVER TAKES PICTURES WITH YOU: If you
are the guy always taking photos of the girl or if she prefer
taking photos of the food, drink, gift you bought for her
instead, then my bro, be prepared to move on. You don't matter
like that. Try go through her social media/phone if there's no
photo of you, think twice. Some people might say it doesn't
matter but trust me every girl that loves you will share
beautiful moments you share together or want to take pictures
with you, every minute you spend together. Don't ignore this,
it's a cemented fact.

5. SHE INTRODUCES YOU TO HER FRIENDS AS A
'FRIEND' : I was once asked why do guys hate when they are
introduced as a friend, and my answer was why not? Ladies
should know that this particular thing hurts more than being
shot, especially when you are so into her and in your head she's
the love of your life. That is clear that she's not in a
relationship with you, at least to her friends or whoever you got
introduced to.

6. SHE FLIRTS WITH YOUR FRIENDS OR FIND YOUR
FRIENDS WAY COOLER : The worst that could happen is
introducing your girl to your friends and she start to get flirty
with them. It could be for the fun of it but if she's usually bored
around you but come alive when she's with you and your
friends, try do your homework well or simply leave her to one
of your friends, not an easy decision though but it will save
you time to move on.

7. SHE NEVER COMMENTS ON HOW YOU LOOK:
Everybody like compliments but if even in your best, she never
say, "you look good" or "I like what you are wearing" then the
answer is simple, 'SHE DON'T CARE'. It's straight like that.
Don't sweat it.

8. ACTS FRIENDLY WHENEVER SHE IS NEED: She
usually calls you all the sweet names, 'boo boo', hun, bla bla …
only when she needs a favor. Do you still need to be told bro?

9. SHE FINDS YOU BORING: This is how to tell if a girl
thinks you are boring, she don't laugh to your jokes, she's
constantly on her phone when you are with her, if you don't
break the silence, she don't make any effort to make a convo,
she don't even shout or singalong to her favorite song when
you play it in her presence, bro, you are trying too much, go
for someone who appreciate you, especially if you don't think
you are that boring.

10. SHE NEVER WANT TO GET INTIMATE WITH
YOU: If after all this, you are still with her, getting a kiss,
touch, sex will be one hell of a problem, you are going to be
put on a strict timetable. NO PDA (don't even think about it).
During sex, that's if she decide to give you one finally, might
be boring than a couple in their late 90′s trying to have a doggy
style

Nairaland GeneralTomatoes: The New Breast Cancer Preventer by zizman(op): 10:33am On Dec 28, 2013
While there's no way of eating that can promise 100 percent
protection from breast cancer, it's increasingly clear that breast
cancer prevention and diet go hand in hand, thanks to the right
foods' incredible ability to heal and protect our bodies from
disease.
The latest food shown to possess anticancer properties is the
much-loved tomato,
thanks to the fruit's ability to raise levels of a hormone known
to help regulate blood sugar and fat.
The study, appearing in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology
& Metabolism, explains that as a postmenopausal woman
ages, her body mass index tends to climb, a clear breast
cancer risk factor. In the latest study, though, researchers from
Rutgers University found that eating a diet high in tomatoes
helped promote better fat regulation and sugar metabolism,
keeping women's body mass index out of the danger zone.
"The advantages of eating plenty of tomatoes and tomato-
based products, even for a short period, were clearly evident
in our findings," says study author, Adana Llanos, PhD,
MPH, assistant professor of epidemiology at Rutgers
University. "Eating fruits and vegetables, which are rich in
essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals
such as lycopene, conveys significant benefits. Based on this
data, we believe regular consumption of at least the daily
recommended servings of fruits and vegetables would
promote breast cancer prevention in an at-risk population."
The study looked at women eating tomato-rich diets and
found that those who ate at least 25 milligrams of lycopene
daily for 10 weeks saw a healthy bump in adiponectin, a
hormone involved with regulating blood sugar and fat levels.
In fact, levels rose 9 percent on average. Interestingly, a high-
soy diet actually lowered levels of the fat-fighting, sugar-
stabilizing hormone.
Some tips for tomato lovers:
•Always choose organic. Pesticide-residue testing has found 5
types of known or probable carcinogens, along with 16
suspected hormone-disrupting chemicals, on nonorganic
tomato samples.
•Opt for fresh tomatoes versus store-bought canned. Most
cans in the supermarket are lined with bisphenol A, or BPA, a
hormone-disrupting chemical actually linked to breast cancer.
•If you have a garden, try growing heirloom tomato varieties.
These are types of tomatoes that have been passed down over
the years because of their exquisite taste. Growing heirloom
seeds also helps preserve genetic diversity in the vegetable
world.
PoliticsHow This Banker Withdrew N50mfrom Customers' Accounts by zizman(op): 7:22pm On Dec 27, 2013
The Special Fraud Unit, Ikoyi, Lagos State, has arrested an
account officer with Guaranty Trust Homes, Adeola
Olokojobi, in connection with a N50m fraud at the financial
institution.
Prior to his arrest, Olokojobi was said to be working at the GT
Homes, Saka Tinubu branch, Victoria Island.
It was revealed that the SFU had received a
petition in October 2013, from a customer of
the branch where Olokojobi worked. The
customer had alleged that Olokojobi, who
was his account officer, had "not been forthcoming with his
account balances."
A statement by the SFU Commissioner of Police, Mr. Tunde
Ogunsakin, said, "The petitioner also alleged that the balance
given to him was at variance with his actual balance in the
account.
"An internal investigation conducted by GT Homes into the
account revealed that Olokojobi in April 2013, forged an
instruction, transferring N15m from the petitioner's account, to
an unknown account.
"The bank also discovered other various fraudulent withdrawals
made by the account officer from other customers' accounts in
his care through fake transfer instructions. It amounted to over
N50m.
"He said the funds were used to finance his political campaign,
a proposed pure water company and purchase of an
uncompleted building at Sango-Ota, Ogun State.
"Olokojobi in his confessional statement said he had
fraudulently withdrawn monies amounting to N50,640,748
from the account of the customers by transferring funds into
the accounts of fictitious customers and subsequently
withdrawing same."
A banking and finance graduate, Olokojobi told PUNCH
Metro that he joined GT Homes in 2009.
He, however, denied that he had fraudulently transferred over
N50m, insisting that instead, it was N27m.
He said, "I didn't have to forge the instructions from GT homes
customers. All I did was manipulate them. What happens is
that they usually send instructions to the account officers by
email, requesting that some money be transferred to an account
of their choice. All I simply do is add another million or two to
the sum the customer requested.
"It went unnoticed all this while because after using the money
to do some business transactions, I always paid it back. I was
into several businesses; I would buy land and resell for profit.
"I got into trouble with this one because I withdrew N15m at
once from a customer's account; I didn't take it bit by bit, but I
meant to pay it back. In fact, I had already started doing so
before I was caught and arrested. But the police are not right in
saying that the money I had withdrawn from customers
amounted to N50m; it is N27m."
Ogunsakin, however, said the suspect would soon be charged
to court, where he could defend himself.

CrimeUNBELIEVABLE: Commercial Bus Driver Rapespassenger From 7p.m To 10a.m by zizman(op): 12:01pm On Dec 17, 2013
A commercial bus driver, identified as Emeka
Ugwudiobi has been accused of raping one of his
passengers from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. at gun point in an
uncompleted building around Mayor Market, Enugu.
According to the prosecution counsel, Mr Francis Ajagu, the
driver plies the New Market-Gariki route and the victim was
one of his passengers.
On that fateful day, the driver noticed only the victim was
remaining in the bus and drove to an uncompleted building
beside the Mayor Market and started raping the victim.
Ajagu said the victim was raped from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m.
without break and that the pleas of the victim to allow her rest
fell on deaf ears. The victim was rescued by one Mr Chidubem
Ezeorah, a passerby who ran into the scene and reported the
case to the police.
He said that the victim could hardly stand on her feet when the
police came to her rescue in the uncompleted building.
However, Mr Obeta Peter, the counsel to the accused, who
described the accused as a responsible man with a wife and
four children said Emeka had been driving for the past 16 years
and that nobody had ever complained that he was a rapist.
He denied that his client had ever set eyes on the victim before,
adding that there was no way a bus driver would carry a gun
inside his bus and the police would not notice.
Justice Dorathy Agishi ordered the accused to be remanded in
prison custody while adjourning the case to Feb. 26, 2014 for
further hearing.

Nairaland GeneralFathered By A Ghost, Married To A Ghost - Osun State Woman Tells Her Story by zizman(op): 12:16am On Dec 14, 2013
[img]http://www.tribune.com.ng/news2013/images/osun-woman3_350.jpgq[/img]
This young lady above, says she was fathered by a ghost, only
to later marry a ghost for whom she has 3 sons and is
currently pregnant for.
According to 20-year-old Taiyelolu Abdulrahman, while
telling her chilling story to Nigerian Tribune, her father, who
died almost 20 years ago, nurtured her till she was married to
another dead or “ghost” husband.
She and her twin brother, Kehinde, grew up with their father
in a flat at the Ajah area of Lagos.
They led a relatively comfortable life in the house where they
only depended on generator as the only
source of electricity. Although their father was not engaged in
any kind of work, he provided for them.
My father was not working. He never left the house
except on a few occasions at night. But if I asked for N50,
000, he gave it to me. We had no visitors and we visited
nobody,” she said.All they had to do were sleep, eat and
watch home videos.
Asked about her mother, she said she and her twin brother
grew up to know only their father. They did not see any
woman with him.
To go out of the house, their father gave the twins a small
gourd each which they simply clasped to their palms and then
they burst out on the road and board vehicles to the market to
purchase food items like wheat, semovita, macaroni, spaghetti
and rice. They never consumed amala (yam flour meal).
On a particular day, however, Taiyelolu forgot to take her
gourd and as she stepped out of the house, what confronted
her was a cemetery with a lot of vaults and a bushy
environment.
She screamed and dashed back inside.
Then, her father told her to pick the gourd, atona (guide) as it
was called. As she clasped the object to her palm and then
ventured out, this time, she found herself on a busy tarred
road.
Another incident which frightened her happened in the night.
“My father went out whenever he wanted but it was
always around 10.00 or 11.00 p.m. He would not take
anyone along with him.
But there was a day I begged him to take me out to where
he usually went and he obliged.
When we got there, something strange and fearful
happened. It was like a canteen and there, I saw a small
cooking stand with a big pot on it without firewood or fire
and the food was boiling. I asked my father how it was
possible for food to cook without firewood and fire and
the woman selling the food became angry and slapped
me.
She asked my father who I was; that I was not part of
them but only wanted to expose their secrets. My father
begged her and we left the place,” she remarked.
After the incident, her father refused to take her out again so
that she would not be privy to the secrets and circumstances
surrounding their true identities.
Since then, she refused to take food from her father, but only
cooked her own food.
By the time Taiyelolu came of age, her father did not allow
her the choice of a husband, but asked her to marry someone
identified as Abdulazeez.
The man moved in with them and behaved like her father.
Soon, she got pregnant. And when she eventually went into
labour, she said her father went out, brought back a particular
kind of leaf which he applied on her navel and she was
delivered of a baby boy without any complication.
Her father, who acted as the midwife, took care of the
placenta. She bore her two other boys in the same manner.
Her children were named Abdul Qayum (now eight years
old), ‘Rokeeb (four) and Jamiu (two and a half).
But what revealed the true identities of her
father and husband?
She disclosed that all the jealously guarded secrets began to
come to the open when her brother Kehinde declined to marry
a lady recommended by their father.
They continued their routine life until their father considered
Kehinde mature enough to get married and brought a lady
home for him.
But Kehinde was said to have refused outright to marry “one
of them.” Taiyelolu said she asked him what he meant by
“one of them” but he told her not to bother as she was only a
woman who was oblivious of what was happening.
One day, Kehinde was eating and he suddenly coughed,
slumped and died. My father did not feel any sorrow as a
result of this. He buried my brother in an unknown place.
When I asked him about where he buried him, he said
some Muslim clerics had come to pray over his body and
he had buried it. Not convinced by his response, I said to
him: “When I had my babies, no clerics came for the
naming, but they came for the burial of my brother?’”
Disturbed by the shocking death of her brother, Taiyelolu
confronted her father that she wanted to know his family. That
decision marked the beginning of her journey into a new
world.

Eventually, my father agreed to take me and the children
to his hometown, Offa, Kwara State. He said he was from
the imam’s family. When we almost got to his family
house, he said he wanted to check on someone close by
and pointed the house to us. He asked us to ask for Alhaji
Hussein Salmoni, his uncle. When we met his uncle and
explained ourselves to him, he was taken aback. He
eventually showed us his grave. He said my father died
over 20 years ago,” she said.
Amid bewilderment, Taiyelolu left for the only place she
knew as home, Ajah, Lagos, but could not locate their house
again.
What worsened her situation was the mysterious
disappearance of the gourd which her father had given her and
could have guided her back to the house.
She went to Ilorin in an effort to locate her mother’s family
house which her father told her was Isale Koto.
She managed to strike up conversations with some people
who introduced her to a radio presenter who narrated her story
on air.
She also met a lady who she followed to Ede, Osun State, and
stayed with for about a month. It was while in that city that
she traced her husband’s parents.
She claimed that she was walking by the road one day when a
car parked by her side and the driver told her that it was her
birthday and in order to felicitate with her, gave her a handset
with a SIM card.
Taiyelolu is uncertain of her age, but assumed that she could
be more than 20.
It was when I got to ‘this world’ that I realised that I am
too young to have given birth to three children with the
fourth on the way. Also, I did not know that there is a
place where people struggled to earn a living until I got
here. It saddens me that I now wake up every day with no
money.”
She said she never attended a school, but that her father had
the knowledge of the Qur’an and had western education.
According to her, her father was the one who taught her and
her brother Arabic and a bit of western education,” she said.
It is obvious that Taiyelolu is truly versed in the recitation of
the Qur’an. Her children now attend a primary school in the
village.
On how she got to Tonkere village in Osun State, she said
she went to observe the evening prayer at a mosque in Ede
when, after prayers, she was chatting with the imam and an
old man appeared and told her in clear terms that she was
suffering.
The man then asked her why she was obstinate about
returning the children with her to Tonkere, her husband’s
place of birth.
The man said if she refused to do so within three days,
something unpleasant would become of the children and the
man disappeared.
Then she asked the imam if he saw the old man who just
interrupted their conversation, but the imam said no. She then
collected N200 from the cleric, fetched her children and the
four of them, at about after 8.00 p.m., boarded a motorcycle
to Akoda junction for N50.
At the junction, she asked another cyclist to take her to
Tonkere but the man, because of the fact that it was late in the
day, charged her N1000, whereas she only had N150. But it
was necessary that the children got to Tonkere that night
because their father, who was deceased, demanded that she
took them to his people.
As she pleaded with the cyclist, a car parked by them and
mediated in the matter. The driver asked the cyclist to convey
the woman and her children to their destination for N500,
which was the usual fare. The man gave the cyclist the N500,
wrote down the motorcycle’s number and warned the cyclist
to take the passengers to no place but the mosque at Tonkere.
As they alighted from the motocycle at Tonkere, Taiyelolu
said her husband appeared to her physically.
She said he pointed to the shop opposite the mosque as his
mother’s and the third building to the shop as his father’s
house, saying “I should ask for his father, Pa Gbadamosi.
As they conversed, her husband said a lady who was passing
by, Tosin, was his sister and he called her.” Between the time
Taiyelolu looked in the direction of the lady and looked back
in her husband’s direction, he had disappeared.
The lady Taiye is with her husband’s people now in Tonkere
village, but they did not receive her with open arms because
the aged parents of Abdulazeez were confused about how
their first son, who died at a tender age, could have fathered
three children.
They are suspicious of their supposed daughter-in-law and are
acting cautiously around her.
But she dismissed any suspicious of band motives asking why
she would want to lie herself into a poor home.
Also, Taiyelolu’s mother-in-law, the Iyalode of Tonkere, had
been down with stroke and the father-in-law is a farmer.
Financially, they are not capable of supporting Taiyelolu and
her children.
The lady, who said the clothes she uses now were given to
her, added that they were rags, compared to the ones she wore
in her father’s house.
What pointed to the fact that she could truly be from another
world was the way she was lamenting openly about the
treatment meted out to her by her in-laws.
She said if she had made up her story, rather than bringing her
children to the old mud house, she would have taken them to
the governor’s house. The mud house, she said, did not
compare with her father’s house in “the other world.” She said
she only left her father’s house with a black bag and a Qur’an,
which are still in her possession.
She also claimed to have dreamt of her father once, who was
all tears, lamenting with his finger in his mouth that he
warned his daughter not to embark on this journey. She said
her husband pleaded with her in her dreams each time his
people offended her. She said her husband said the reason he
insisted she took his children to his parents was for his parents
to have the joy of raising his children as they did not have
such opportunity with him even as a first child.
The parents said they could not remember where they buried
Abdulazeez.
The survival of heavily pregnant Taiyelolu and the future of
her three children pose a challenge to her.
She said the aged parents of her “ghost” husband could no
longer work, hence, the fate of her children hung in the
balance.
When she called Nigerian Tribune reporter last Monday, she
said she was having signs that she would soon put to bed.
She, therefore, appealed to the Osun State governor, Mr Rauf
Aregbesola; his wife, Alhaja Sherifat, other well-meaning
Nigerians, including corporate organisations and non-
governmental organisations to come to her aid by empowering
her so that her future and that of her three children abandoned
could be secure.
What about her husband? She says he, these days appears
only in her dreams.
Nairaland GeneralWoman Sleeps Next To Her Husband's Corpse For A Year (PHOTOS) by zizman(op): 8:41am On Nov 21, 2013
A woman had been sleeping next to her dead
husband's decomposed corpse for one year
until authorities made the grizzly discovery
this week.
Apparently, 79-year-old "Marcel H." from Liege,
Belgium, died back in November 2012 of an
asthma attack, according to Carters News Agency.
His wife was so upset that she failed to report the
death and continued to sleep with the body until
Belgian authorities made the bizarre finding on
Tuesday, Nov. 19.
They were led to the apartment because the
landlord claimed the couple hadn't paid their rent
since last year. Neighbors never reported a bad
smell. The body had mummified.
Expert's Opinion:
"A body can mummify in a dry, warm
environment," Philippe Boxho, pathologist at the
Forensic Center of Liege told Carters. "It takes at
least a week to reach such a state. In this case the
body had rotten [sic] in the bed [and] his internal
organs had melted and liquefied. ... Even though
the smell of human decay is quite specific, many
people equate that smell to the smell of garbage
and once the body has become rotten the smell
does decrease significantly."

Lol. There's nothing you won't hear! 20 year old
Computer Science student Elina Desaine is happy
to be called the Horniest Student in 2013 after
boasting of sleeping with up to three men every
week.
The University of Exeter student was named
Britain's Horniest Student after entering a
degrading online competition where contestants
are encouraged to sleep with as many partners as
they can. Whoever sleeps with the most partners
and can prove it, wins the competition. Latvian-
born Elina won it and received £500 and a year's
supply of condoms. Pictured above with Tom
Thurlow, the creator of the website that organized
the contest.
Elina proudly wrote on her Facebook page before
she won
‘I should be the UK’s horniest student because
I have sex with at least 2 / 3 different people a
week. Sometimes I go clubbing, have sex with
someone, and then go back to the club to pick
up my second victim. Feeling Hot right now,
so might just text someone on my ‘shag list’
and do it in the computer room (I’ve done this
before, was great!) 'With your help of Alcohol I
will be able to become an even Hornier
Student!’
See achievement! Dear Elina you should be
worried about what future employers might say
about this, because this is online and it's never
going away! Meanwhile, people are already calling
for the ban of the competition
Romance5 Good Reasons To Get Married While You'reyoung by zizman(op): 8:30am On Nov 15, 2013
While delaying marriage has advantages -- a
lower divorce rate, higher income for women
and fewer and less intense arguments
between spouses -- studies show there also
may be benefits to tying the knot before age
30. However, there is such a thing as
marrying too young. Research shows that
marriages beginning when a woman is 18 are
twice as likely to end in divorce as those
beginning when she is 22.
Below are five reasons to get married in your 20s.
1. It could make you happier. The highest
percentage of people ages 20 to 28 who consider
themselves "highly satisfied" with their lives are
married, as opposed to single or cohabiting.
What's more, the largest number of women who
described their marriage as "very happy" tied the
knot when they were 24 to 26. A 2010 study found
that "the greatest indicated likelihood of being in
an intact marriage of the highest quality is among
those who married at ages 22-25."
2. You'll make more money (at least if you're a
man). An analysis revealed that among men in
their mid-30s, those who married in their 20s had
the highest levels of personal income. Economists
have found, in general, that married men earn
more than single men -- even when you control for
other factors like age and education.
3. You'll have more sex. Couples who marry in
their 20s tend to have more frequent sex than
those who marry later. Researchers say that "a
four year increase in age at marriage is associated
with a couple having sex about one time less per
month." What's more, married people as a whole
have more sex than their single counterparts.
4. You'll drink less alcohol. A 2012 study
published in the Journal of Health and Social
Behavior found that married and engaged young
adults reported lower frequency of drunkenness
than those who are not in a serious romantic
relationship. Laying off alcohol has many health
benefits, including weight loss, better sleep, better
skin and a reduced risk of some cancers.
5. There's nothing to be gained from waiting
-- if you think you're ready. We certainly aren't
advocating a rush to the altar, but if you feel like
you're prepared for that next step, go for it.
Research says there's no advantage to delaying
marriage just for the sake of delaying it. A 25-year-
old person who meets an excellent marriage
prospect would be ill-advised to pass up that
opportunity only because he/she feels not yet at
the ideal age for marriage. Furthermore, delaying
marriage beyond the mid-twenties will lead to the
loss during a portion of young adulthood of any
emotional and health benefits that a good
marriage would bring.
SportsMy Teammates Are Conspiring Againstme - Eto’o by zizman(op): 8:01am On Nov 15, 2013
Samuel Eto'o has alleged that some of his
team mates are conspiring against him ahead
of the playoff against Tunisia.
Cameroon host Tunisia on Sunday at the Ahmadou
Ahidjo Stadium in Yaoundé in a 2014 FIFA World
Cup final leg play-off with the scores 0-0 from the
first leg.
The Indomitable Lions' skipper made the
allegations on Wednesday during a press
conference that he attended together with Coach
Volker Finke alongside vice-captains Nicolas
Nkoulou and Enoh Eyong.
The Chelsea striker said rumours of a conspiracy
against him by some of his teammates are true
and alleged that instructions had been issued not
to pass the ball to him whenever he is in a good
scoring position.
"It is sad to say but it is true. And as the coach is
present, I am asking him to make sure it does not
happen anymore in our national team. If we were
not about to play such a crucial game, I would
have asked you to have a look at some of the
matches yourselves," Eto'o said.
And Eto'o went on to explain why he had played so
often out of position during the first leg in Radès.
"If I moved back so much towards the midfield
against Tunisia, it is before I knew about it already.
I had to play like that and I did it, but on Sunday
we are talking about Cameroon, about our
country. We must put our problems behind us and
play for Cameroon," Eto'o said.
EducationASUU STRIKE: 15 Things Every Student Must Dobefore The STRIKE Is Over by zizman(op): 9:54pm On Nov 14, 2013
Every Nigerian student who should be in school
but is presently at home because of ASUU strike
must make use of this strike to their advantage.
Rather than allow their destinies to be
jeopardized, they can turn this situation around
in their own favor. These are 15 things every
student must do before the ASUU strike is over.
1. CATCH UP ON LOST ACADEMIC WORK
If there was any academic related work that you
missed while school was still in session, you do
not have to wait until school resumes to catch up
on them. Use this god-given opportunity (or
rather ASUU-FG created opportunity) to your
advantage. If you missed a class note, update
your notes. Do all the omitted assignments. Write
your lab reports. Complete your class projects. Do
your team works. Perfect your field exercise. All of
this will make you readily prepared for
resumption once the strike is called off.
2. DEVELOP A TALENT
If you had ever felt school was boring to you, and
that you would have loved to develop an inborn
talent, but the enormous challenges of academic
work will not allow you devote time to channel
your energy towards a god given dream, then you
no longer have any excuse. Maximize this period
to develop this god given talent and make sure
you achieve a part of, if not all of that dream
before school resumes.
Write that book and publish it.
Go to studio with that song and release at least a
track, if not the complete album.
Produce that video.
Join a football club and make a name.
Whatever your talent is, do something about it
before the strike is over.
3. LEARN A SKILL
If you have never thought about a specific talent
in your life, you likely may say there is none to
develop. That will still not be an excuse for you to
waste these precious moments. Go learn a skill.
Look for something new to add to your life. Learn
a skill that will be relevant to your future.
Learn how to drive.
Learn how to swim.
Learn to make beads.
Learn how to sow dresses.
Learn hair dressing.
Learn event decoration.
Learn photography.
Learn publishing.
If you don’t find something to learn, go learn how
to cook (funny as it sounds). Just make sure you
learn a skill.
4. ORGANISE YOUR SCHOOL MATERIALS
The best time to get yourself organized for
resumption is now that there is still time to play
around. Gather up all your scattered school
materials and arrange them in a safe place. You
do not want to be looking for a textbook or an
important school note when school resumes, only
to find out that it has been carelessly soiled with
oil in the kitchen, or some pages torn away by a
sibling. Keep all of your school material in one
place so you can easily access them whenever the
Almighty ASUU and the Controller Generals of the
nation decides to settle their scores, be it political
or otherwise. It’s time to do some more
important things with your life.
5. ENGAGE IN CONSTANT WEEKLY REVISION
Do not just put your academic life on hold for
now because of the strike. Constantly engage in
revisions. Spread the courses you offer in school
over a period of time. Say, if you have registered
for eight courses this semester, spread them over
eight weeks. This means you will need to study
one course per week. So, dedicate at least one
day in each week for the study of this course. This
way, you likely may be able to cover all your
courses before the strike is called off, and you will
be in a better academic shape once school
resumes. Take advantage of this period to give
yourself an academic lift. If every student will do
this, this can be their best semester so far.
6. DO A PROFESSIONAL COURSE
Life is not just about certificates; some
professional courses carry much more weight
than B.Sc, or at least, add to the weight of your
degree. Intentionally go in search of such courses
and register for them. They do not cost a fortune.
Moreover, it is better than just sleeping and
waking and hoping that Uncle GEJ will change his
mind very soon about his stand on ASUU
demands. Invest your time in a professional
course organized by the professional body of the
course you are studying in school. Even if you do
not complete the course before resumption, their
schedule is so flexible that you can still combine it
with your normal academic schedule.
7. PROJECT INTO THE FUTURE
Most students do not have a well-planned out life.
They just hope that life will be fair on them once
they graduate from the university. If you are also
one of such, this is the best time to spend enough
time to plan your future and rightly channel it the
way you desire it goes. What will you like to do
after graduation? Service year is the ready answer
in your mind! What if Service is delayed by a year,
what will you do with the time? If Service
eventually comes, what will you do during service
year? Will you consider any pet project? What will
it be about? How will you raise fund for it? What
happens after Service year? Which organization
will you like to work with? Do they have a specific
requirement? How do you meet that requirement
in order to make your dream of working with
them possible? There are a million and one
questions that need to be answered before time,
and this is the best time to do that. And do not
forget to add this all important question “at what
stage after graduation do I want to be married?”
8. UPDATE YOUR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT
COMPUTERS
It is sad to note that while kindergartens in the
developed world are already being introduced to
computers, there are still final year students in
our universities who do not know how to use one
of the most common applications on the
computer – Microsoft Word. The closest they have
ever gotten to the IT world is to check their
facebook page on their java phones or reply their
emails using the opera mini on same phone.
Please, do not pretend to know what you do not
know; go update your computer knowledge. If
you don’t, you will not know what you have
missed until it is almost over for you.
9. ATTEND DEVELOPMENTAL SEMINARS
You will also need to attend as many
developmental seminars and conferences as you
can find around you. Some of them will cost some
money. However, you will also find some of them
free of all charge. These seminars will help you to
become a better person and prepare you for the
challenges of the labour market, challenges of
marriage, and every other challenges that may
come your way.
10. GET A PAID EMPLOYMENT
If you feel you will be better off with some extra
fund every month, then you may consider getting
a paid employment. Although, no company will
offer you the mouthwatering offer they give to
their new intakes, no matter what level you are in
the university (do not forget you are just a bloody
undergraduate), but at least, whatever you get at
the end of every month should save you the
embarrassment of having to call all the uncles you
have in the world just to renew your BIS, and you
will still have some change to play around with.
However, whether what they pay you will be
worth your time and your effort is left for you to
decide.
11. CATCH SOME FUN
All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy. Do
not be a Jack; catch some fun. Take a weekend
out to visit an uncle outside your place of
residence. Check on a long-forgotten relative.
Attend a family function, say wedding, house
warming etc. Visit the zoo. Go check out the
National museum. Go for a midweek service in a
big church that is far away from your home
church. Give yourself a treat in an eatery. Go to a
recreation center. Visit the beach on a quiet day.
Whatever you can do to catch some fun, please
do. It is good for your health.
12. PRAY
Take time out to pray. There are so many things
you can pray about at your age. Pray for your
future. Pray for your relationships. Pray for your
academics. Pray for your family. More
importantly, pray that God should intervene and
bring a solution to the academic situation of the
country so that school can resume back on time.
13. GET CLOSER TO GOD
There is no better time in your life to start a
relationship with God than now. If you do not
have a relationship with him, you should begin to
reconsider your stand now. Those who do not
give God their audience while on campus do not
get his attention after graduating from campus. If
you have a relationship with Him already, be
more committed to the relationship.
14. READ STUDENTS SELF HELP BOOKS
STUDENTS SELF-HELP BOOKS (SSHB) authored by
Sam O. Salau, (Africa’s leading author on Students’
issues) are collections of carefully selected
materials specifically written to students to help
them become better in their academics and other
areas of their life.These titles are available in both

cadet World Cups the Golden
Eaglets have featured in its final.

CHINA 1985: GERMANY 0-2 NIGERIA

The Golden Eaglets conquered the world in the
inaugural edition of the U17 World Cup staged in
China. Nigeria sent shivers down the spines of
opposing teams as they dominated every
departments of the game. After brushing aside the
likes of Italy, Costa Rica and Saudi Arabia in the first
round, Hungary was next to face the fury of the
Nduka Ugbade-captained team as they were
trounced 3-1 in Shanghai. However, the Eaglets
faced their toughest test of the championship when
they faced West African foes, Guinea in the Semi
finals which they scraped through 4-2 on penalties.
In the final match, the Germans had no hiding place
as they bowed to a well organised Nigeria side that
had Lucky Agbonsevafe who looked majestic in goal,
Sani Adamu dictating the pace in the midfield and
Joseph Babatunde wreacking havoc in the
opponents’ defence.
Coach: Sebastian Broderick
Goals scored in the tournament: 10
Discovery(s): Nduka Ugbade, Jonathan Akpoborie

CANADA 1987: NIGERIA 1 (2-4) 1 SOVIET
UNION
Phillip Osondu almost single-handedly gave Nigeria
their second world cadet championship title but the
USSR proved to be luckier team as they edged out
Nigeria on penalties to be crowned world
champions after a tension-soaked final.
Defending champions Nigeria began with a 1-1 draw
against eventual champions Soviet Union before
pushing aside South American champions Bolivia
3-2 in a ding-dong affair with Osondu – the golden
boot winner getting a brace. Though they lost
narrowly 1-0 to Mexico, the Eaglets made it to the
last eight ahead of the Concacaf kings on superior
goal difference. Nigeria overcame Australia in the
quarter final before brushing European superpower
- Italy for a place in their second successive final.
Playing intelligent football built around a 4-4-2
formation which gave them a free rein to some
excellent individual talents, the Sebastian Broderick
Eaglets bowed to Soviet Union in the final after
scores stood 1-1 after extra time.

Coach: Sebastian Broderick
Goals scored in the tournament: 7
Discovery(s): Phillip Osondu, Jonathan Akpoborie

JAPAN 1993: GHANA 1-2 NIGERIA

After failing to get past Saudi Arabia in the quarter
finals of Scotland 89 and missing out of the 1991
edition, Nigeria made their fourth appearance at
the Fifa U17 World Cup count as they won their
second title in third showing in the final.
Nigeria made their intention of a second title known
in their very first game when they hammered
Canada 8-0 before dismissing the Argentine football
team by four unreplied goals. With qualification to
the knock out stage already guaranteed, the Eaglets
slammed the door softly against Australia with a 2-0
victory in Gifu City.
The Fanny Amun-tutored lads survived a scare from
the hosts in the quarter finals before securing a 2-1
victory over Poland in Hiroshima. Ghana proved a
hard nut to crack in the final as Daniel Addo,
Sebastian Barnes and Michael Edusei unsettled the
Mobil Oparaku led backline but it was the Nigerians
that reigned supreme after 90 minutes of exciting
football.

TRINIDAD & TOBAGO 2001: FRANCE 3-0
NIGERIA

It was a failed expedition for Nigeria as they failed
to lift the trophy despite showing lots of promises
enroute the final.
Abdullahi Musa’s lads showed maturity beyond their
years as they as they oscillated between a 4-4-2 and
4-3-3 and were able to rely on two extremely gifted
individuals – Femi Opabunmi and Karimu Shuaibu.
Their biggest highlight in the competition was their
5-1 massacre of Australia in the quarter finals after
an inspiring victory over the United States of
America in their last group game in Scarborough.
The Golden Eaglets eventually surrendered the
trophy to the French team in the final no thanks to
an apathetic display.
Coach: Musa Abdullahi
Goals scored in the tournament: 14
Discovery(s): Femi Opabunmi, Akpan Bassey

SOUTH KOREA 2007: SPAIN 0 (0-3) 0 NIGERIA

Nigeria made it three out of three on Asian soil after
previous successes in China and Japan respectively.
Though the Eaglets made a slow start in the opening
game against France, they bounced back with a
commanding 4-1 annihilation of Haiti before a 2-1
win over Japan in their last group outing.
Yakubu Alfa was the hero in Gwangyang as he came
off the bench to secure victory for his side that was
down by a lone goal to a hard-fighting Colombian
side in the round of 16. It took the individual
brilliance of skipper Haruna Lukman to push aside
the Argentines before making life difficult for a Toni
Kroos-led German side in the semi final.
In the final, Nigeria successfully converted their spot
kicks with Dele Ajiboye stopping two of the Spain’s
kick after match had ended scoreless.

Coach: Yemi Tella
Goals scored in the tournament: 16
Discovery(s): Haruna Lukman, Chrisantus
Macauley, Rabiu Ibrahim

NIGERIA 2009: NIGERIA 0-1SWITZERLAND

Defending Champions, Nigeria got stunned by the
Swiss – first timers at the global fiesta in the final
played in Abuja. Despite the vociferous fans that
trooped into the Abuja National Stadium to cheer
the Golden Eaglets, the John Obuh managed team
failed to make home advantage count.
Not many expected Dany Ryser’s side to stop the
hosts from lifting a record fourth title after the
Nigerians came from three goals down to hold the
Germans U17 to a 3-3 draw in Group A’s opening
game. The team made a steady progress as the
competition continued especially their
comprehensive victory over hot-title favorites Spain
in the semis.

Coach: John Obuh
Goals scored in the tournament: 15
Discovery(s): Ogenyi Onazi, Kenneth Omeruo

With all now set for the final on Friday evening, will
the Nigeria U17 boys win a record fourth title in
their seventh appearance in the final? Ninety
minutes of football at the Mohammad Bin Zayed
Stadium in Abu Dhabi will decide.
