Politics / Re: Ndi Okereke–Onyiuke’s Fraudulent PH.d - Shock by benlay(m): 7:38am On Jun 03, 2011
aribisala0:


why do some people have this need to mimic the speech of semi-literate americans? shame!!

you need to be specific,  some semi-literate Americans, i hope you are not referring to all Americans, cos even the so called semi-literate Americans could actually speak 'proper English' when it's necessary to do so.

Back to the topic, Ndi Okereke's profile has always been read loud to our hearing long before now, why is this coming now? The same song that we sing at play could also be sung at war, if you understand what i mean, just saying.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Did Arsenal Play Better Than Manchester United Against Barcelona? by benlay(m): 3:01pm On May 30, 2011

Look dude I'm not into in Arsene we trust bull shhhht I believe Arsenal deserve to have been very successful especially in the last 6 years and i also believe Wenger has a lot to answer for why this is not so.
BTW Man utd success does come at a price and judging by the fact that Arsenal hasn't spend so much the 4th positin they achieve may not be bad after all.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1391980/Manchester-United-478m-debt-afford-let-Sir-Alex-spend-spend-spend.html

I won't praise a team that spend less and finish 4th position all the time, just saying, the market is open for everybody to get the players they think will give 'em success. Fourth is not bad afterall that was a joke of the year.

Diligence:

Man u was a total mess and a huge disappointment to lovers of footbal, and left us wondering, how on hell did they manage to get to the final! 3-1 was a meiosis; it shld hv bn at least 5-0, just delete that offside 1 goal from man u!  From today, I consider man u as noisemakers - rem those days in primary sch!!

i don't know when you have been following football but i'll refer you to the UCL final in 1994 AC Vs BARCA, the match ended 4:0 in favour of Milan but Barca team lost with players like Romario, Stoichkov, Coeman etc, it's final dude, it's always different. each team has more time to learn about each other and plan her strategy, i think Sir Fegurson always gamble in the final, imagine Nani & scholes on the bench and Berbetov not on the bench, whatz valencia doing on the field even though the ref. was lenient not to have sent him off for several fouls he committed.

Arsenal played much better and I kept saying if RVP wasn't sent off or if our dumbest striker i.e Bendtner didn't lose that very last opportunity Arsenal could have edge out Barca.

it's so funny when i hear Arsenal fans talk this way, the stage was high @ wembley so you expected the better team to put up a sparkling performance. Arsenal fans are jesters, they even finished 4th on the table but they do more talking with their distressed Manager-Wenger, come on peps. In Arsene we believe (weaklings)
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Arsene Wenger Needs To Be Sacked. by benlay(m): 12:41pm On May 20, 2011
In Arsene we trust? it's high time than we separated fans from shareholders, bs. no trophy in 6 years and someone gonna tell me Arsenal FC plays good football, nonsense. no shareholder will want him to be sacked anyway but fans put their money where they will get results and be happy @ the end of the day/season. If you are Arsenal fan and you think Arsene Wenger is performing, you need to be checked out, i'm just saying.
Politics / Re: Jonathan 'Slashes' National Assembly Member's Allowance by benlay(m): 11:04am On May 18, 2011
I have said this before you don't need a Doctorate degree or even a Masters degree before you could take a political position in Nigeria, we only need people with the fear of God, all members of NASS even all the governors and the president claim to be either  Christians or  muslims, they attach themselves to churches and mosques but they don't have the fear of God.
The 27M they received had not been accounted for and they jerked it up by 14M, hoping that the President will put @ 30M or 33M, shame of a nation!

Politics / Re: I Don’t Advocate Violence - Buhari by benlay(m): 3:48pm On Mar 18, 2011
As much as i don't really like Buhari, let's come to think about it, GEJ is bereft of ideas, he has no vision, he just wants to be Nigeria's president for the record and the first SS man to be voted in Aso rock, Buhari is better but if compared with Ribadu, lipsrsealed
At this time we need people to get to work and stop telling us what they can't do in 16 years to come, "I'll build airports in 36 states, " that's not a smart thing to say to win election peeps.
we should do away with sentiments @ this time, i just want to see that our votes count.

Politics / Reps Passed Foi Bill, Fours Years After by benlay(m): 3:50am On Feb 25, 2011
Almost four years into its current sojourn in the National Assembly, the Freedom of Information Bill was finally passed by the House of Representatives on Thursday.
The House had first passed the Bill in 2006, followed by the Senate but former President Olusegun Obasanjo refused to append his signature to turn it into an Act. All but one (Clause 18) of the 34 clauses in the bill were passed by the House on Thursday.
The clause deals with “drafts” and preliminary information, which in the opinion of the House, cannot be cited as a public document because work on them has not been concluded.
The explanatory note of the committee on why the clause was deleted, reads, “This clause was deleted because it relates to information that has not been perfected and no public institution can be held responsible for proposals and decisions not perfected.”
The passing of the bill followed the adoption of the report of the joint Committee on Information/Justice on the document.
The Deputy Clerk of the House, Mrs. Cordelia Akunwafor, immediately read the bill for the third time.
Following the refusal by Obasanjo to sign the Bill, it was reintroduced again in 2007 and it has taken the current assembly over three and a half years before it was passed by the House on Thursday.
However, the next hurdle is the Senate, which is yet to pass the bill in concurrence with the House.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government , while reacting to the passage by the House, asked the Senate to follow suit in order to enable President Goodluck Jonathan to sign it into law before the end of the current administration on May 29.
Minister of Information and Communications, Mr. Labaran Maku, gave the advice at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday.
Maku said he would also ensure that issues surrounding the Nigerian Press Council as well as enhanced salary package for media workers were resolved while he remains in office.
The minister who addressed the press in company with National President of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Mr. Mohammed Garba, also urged media workers to do their own part by insisting on ethics of the profession and truth in their reporting.
Also, the Nigerian Guild of Editors said it received with great joy the passage of the FOI Bill by the House.
Presdent of the Guide, Gbenga adefaye, in a statement, on Thursday said, “This is the second time within a decade, that the House would respond to our collective hunger for openness and transparency in the administration of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The FOI law will certainly aid accountability in our public life.
Politics / Re: Reps Probe Ribadu Over N20b Loot by benlay(m): 10:53pm On Feb 24, 2011
another move to intimadate the opponent, hmnnn
why now?
Politics / Reps Probe Ribadu Over N20b Loot by benlay(m): 1:22pm On Feb 24, 2011
Fresh trouble is brewing for the presidential candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Malla Nuhu Ribadu, as the House of Representatives resolved to probe a ‘missing’ N20 billion recovered from former Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Tafa Balogun after his trial for graft.

Ribadu was calling the shots at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) when the ex-IGP was arrested, tried and jailed for corrupt practices. Upon conviction, Balogun entered into a plea-bargaining to return part of the money traced to him as a ransom for his freedom.
The case of the missing money surfaced yesterday at the plenary during the debate for a bill for an act to establish the Nigeria Police Reform Fund and for matters connected therewith, 2010.

Sponsored by the executive, the Bill was introduced by the House Leader, Tunde Akogun, who urged members to support it for second reading in view of the fact that the fund would help in improving the police in terms of training, equipment and welfare. But contributing to the debate, Mr. Halims Agoda (PDP Delta state) queried the disappearance of the N20 billion recovered from the ex-police boss, arguing that the recovery of the stolen fund should be concluded first.
“While we are all concerned about the paucity of funding for the Nigerian Police Force, in spite of rising insecurity, we must, as a House, bear in mind that the N20 billion recovered from former inspector general of police by the EFCC, just disappeared into nowhere.

it's so obnoxious how some NL has allowed their anger at the government to cloud their judgment about the blast in Abuja, if MEND was truly responsible, what's their objectives, they might have to tell us so we know they are now terrorists,  this is barbaric, uncultured and inhumane. This has to stop, it can continue to be business as usual for them and even the heartless politicians as well.
