Most european and south american countries have only played one game this year that why most of the movements upward are by african countries because we played about 3 to 6 games in the AFCON.

CIV is higher than France and brazil because both played only one game in this year which they lost mean while CIV played 4games against good sides and won 2 of them, drew 1 hence they gained more points than these other countries.


The more games you play and win, the more points you get and the higher you go on the table.

IGNORANCE!!!

The ranking is based on points and the points are based on the matches you played and whom you have played over a certain period.

Mali, ghana, CIV have won many games over time hence they still ahead of us.

In d last AFCON, CIV played 4games , won 3 and lost 1. That's y they have climbed up to 12th. Ghana and Mali also won a couple of games in the AFCON.

We need to keep playing and winning competitive games then we will climb up.

The Nigerian Embassy in JOHANNESBURG is the worst embassy of any country IN THE WHOLE WORLD. The customer call center is rubbish, does work
The staff are absolutely rude and immensely full of shyte
The whole building is totally creepy
The service delivery is abysmally poor.

The whole embassy is such a shamefully place

I served in nasarawa state, lafia to be precise in 2006. My PPA was dalhatu Araf specialist hospital( DASH) don't know if that's what it still called but I must confess I had such a wonderful time in that place.
The then state governor, Alhaji Abdulahi Adamu, floated an essay competition for corpers then and the first price, which I won, was N500k. Not sure if they still do that now.

My NYSC year was one of my best years and full of sweet memories.
I was offered to work as a doctor in keffi federal medical center but I refused.

i am listening on radio......this commentator wan give person hypertension

WHY SHOULD HE RESIGN??

He was only appointed TWO MONTHS!!!! to the olympics so what miracle could he have done in just 2mths?

Most nairalanders are devoid of understanding and soundmind. you just like to comment on issues without applying your mind to the koko of the matter.

What the minister has done here is to say we have done poorly and to set out on planning ahead.
Now if that will translate to action remains to be seen

but for now WELLDONE MR MINISTER.

ok this is a long write up but worth reading

SWORN STATEMENT MADE BY NOLUBABALO NOBANDLA TO ADVOCATE NTSIKELELO JOSEPH SANDI re: HER CASE IN THE CRIMINAL COURT OF BANGKOK IN THAILAND SCHEDULED FOR HEARING ON 11 JUNE 2012

I the undersigned, do hereby state under oath that, NOLUBABALO NOBANDLA,
1. I am a 23 year old female and a citizen of the Republic of South Africa currently being held at Klong Prem Central Prison in Bangkok.

2. I am charged with bringing 600 grams of cocaine in Thailand.

3. I have already pleaded guilty to the charge and explained how I landed in Thailand with 600 grams of cocaine. I did not even know the weight and the type of drugs I was carrying into Thailand. Initially it was said that the weight was 1,500 grams which I did not challenge because I had no idea of what I was carrying. All I knew was that I was forced to take drugs to John, a Nigerian gentleman, and Sulezo a South African woman who had persuaded me to go to Brazil under the pretext that I was accompanying her to get a job
from Tony, also a Nigerian.

4. The only reason why I have pleaded guilty is because I cannot deny that I
brought the drugs to Thailand. However, the court must understand how it
happened and when sentencing me, to show mercy and understanding.

5. I am not a drug trafficker but a victim of the human trafficking business that is conducted in South Africa by foreigners who come to the country under the pretext that they are running from persecution in their countries. Others claim that they have come to establish businesses and employ the local
population.

6. In my last appearance the Honorable Judge questioned me about my story. I
am however not certain if the court fully understood and appreciated my story and I now give a detailed sequence of events which landed me in this country on 13 December 2011. My State-appointed attorney Ms Woranuch
Sittivicharpinyo can hardly say a word of English and I cannot speak Thai. She consulted with me through an interpreter and I am concerned that she may not have fully understood my story so that she can effectively represent me. The affidavits that are before court were prepared for me by Advocate Sandi from South Africa and got them translated into Thai.

7. I consent that the authorities in South Africa may use my statement to investigating the activities of human traffickers in that country. These are acts whereby the targeted women are promised with jobs overseas, but only to find themselves trapped in a spider web of drug traffickers in foreign countries.

8. This is how I was deceived and induced to travel to Brazil where I was forced to carry drugs to Thailand. Round about November in 2011, I was approached by my friend, Sulezo Rwanqa, from my home town, Grahamstown, South Africa. She said she had a Nigerian friend in Port Elizabeth whose name was Samuel Uchengu. I did not know Samuel personally and all I knew was that he was once married with a lady from Grahamstown. His nickname is “Tuko”. He has a shop in Central where he operates from his house at Upper Hill Street with a writing on the wall, “New Age”.

9. Sulezo told me that Samuel had a brother in Brazil whose name is Tony Achengu. Tony was running a business in Brazil of selling hair chemicals. Sulezo said she had been given a job by Tony to sell hair chemicals for him. Sulezo was reluctant to go to Brazil alone as she had never been to that country before. She also did not know Tony personally. I very much trusted Sulezo as we grew up together and she was very well-known to my family.

10. Sulezo wanted me to accompany her to Brazil to fetch the hair chemicals which she was going to be selling for him in South Africa. In excitement, I agreed. At the time I had just started a business of catering through help from my aunt and her husband, who are both business people. I also saw a business opportunity for me and Sulezo said that was precisely the reason she had approached me. She had previously assisted me in my catering business. I was also excited about going overseas.

11. Later in November 2011 we went to see Samuel who confirmed what Sulezo had told me. He said we should not worry about travelling expenses. He was going to buy us the tickets and give us pocket money for the trip. Tony was going to pay the money back to him. He bought the flight tickets at a travel agent in Greenacres, Port Elizabeth. I do not know or remember the name of the travel agent.

12. But on his return Samuel said he had not been able to book us seats in the same Flight because it was full and the next flight only had one seat available. He had been forced to separate us by booking Sulezo in an earlier flight which was leaving on a day before mine, and me in a different flight. We were to fly from Cape Town International Airport to Argentine and from there to Brazil. Samuel said I should not worry because Sulezo and Tony were going to fetch me at the airport in Brazil.

13. Although I was not happy with this arrangement I still agreed to go as I did not suspect anything. Samuel said the flights had already been booked and could not be changed. He would lose all his money if he went back to the travelling agent to cancel the tickets. So Sulezo then left first.

14. Sulezo and one gentleman came to fetch me. Tony had already phoned the hotel where I was going to be accommodated whilst in Brazil. The name of the hotel is Topiza in the city of Sao Paulo.

15. The following day Sulezo told me that Tony had said there was a certain lady who was going to meet us at the bus stop. She did not tell me her surname except that she was a South African. When we met the lady she confirmed being South African. She was much older than Sulezo and me. Her name was Hilda. She said she was employed by Tony and her duty was to receive people who had come to work for Tony. It was her task to take such people to a place owned by Tony where they would be trained. But she first wanted to know if we knew what we were coming to do in Brazil. Sulezo said yes we did. Hilda said she was upset that she had not been told that we were very young people, because the work we were coming to do was very hard and dangerous.

16. I asked Hilda what she meant by dangerous. She said it was about selling and delivering drugs for the Nigerians. I was very shocked and afraid for my life. I realized that I had been lured into a trap. I looked at Sulezo who did not utter a word. Hilda said she had been doing the job for many years. She said she was once convicted in Brazil and was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment for smuggling drugs for the Nigerians. When she was released on parole she went back to South Africa but came back to Brazil as she could not get work there. She also knew Samuel and said Samuel was recruiting South African women for Tony and other Nigerians based in Brazil selling drugs.

17. I told Hilda that I was not prepared to be a drugs smuggler. I then told her what Sulezo had told me. She said it was too late for me to say that. If the Nigerians got to know that I was not going to do the work, they could even kill me or eliminate me in one or the other. No person would know anything about what happened to me. She advised me not to escape but to pretend that I was willing to do the work. According to Hilda, the Nigerians were very brutal people who could do anything for money. I took her advice to pretend I was willing to deliver the drugs.

18. Hilda said some women had tried to escape but were found out by the Nigerians. Nobody knows what happened to those women. She said the Nigerians could even attack my family in South Africa if I they thought I was a threat to their activities. She also said the Nigerians who were selling drugs were very well-connected world-wide, including South Africa. They had a lot of money to bribe the police and even politicians. She said nothing would happen to them if I got killed. Even the owner of the hotel where we stayed was possibly a friend of the Nigerians and I could not go and report to him to call the police. She also said the Nigerians had friends in many international airports and would know if I reported at the airport that I was being forced to deliver drugs. When sent on a mission some one would follow me without me knowing.

19. Initially, I thought Sulezo, just like me had been misled by Samuel and Tony, but when she did not look shocked at all by what we were being told by Hilda, I was concerned. From that moment onward I was too afraid of Sulezo and felt that she had misled me. I never told Sulezo that I was not a willing to work for the Nigerians.

20. Hilda took us to a certain house where we met two gentlemen and two ladies, all being Nigerians. I do not remember their names. The “training” then started. We were to swallow the drugs wrapped up in condoms so that when we got to the point where we had to deliver the drugs, we could just eject them from our bodies at the toilet. I cried and said I could not swallow the staff. I was vomiting but I was forced to try. I was repeatedly told that this was the job I had come to do. I was screaming very hard in the hope that the Nigerians would release me and let me go back home. I was also cursing myself for having been so stupid.

21. They then suggested that the drugs were going to be wrapped up around my hair. To this I agreed, seeing it as away out of Brazil. They told me that no person would take any notice of my hairstyle. The two Nigerian ladies then wrapped up the drugs around my hair. This took several hours. The weight around my head was so heavy that my head was painful. I was so dizzy that I could not walk around at and had to sleep. I was told not to worry. I would soon get used to the load on my head. I took about 8 pain killers to relieve myself from the pains. I was tired and exhausted. When I got up I was still feeling dizzy.

22. When I got up I was told that I was going to be taken to the airport and be flown to a place to deliver the drugs. No name was mentioned of the place where I was going to deliver the drugs. So I thought I was going to deliver the drugs within Brazil. At the airport I learnt from the ticket that I was actually being sent to Thailand. There I was going to meet Sulezo and one John whose cellular mobile phone number was given to me by Tony.

23. Sulezo had left Brazil about a day or two before I left for Thailand. I was not told where she was going. I was only told that she had gone to Thailand at the Brazil Airport when I was just about to check in and fly to Thailand. The Nigerians also told me that Sulezo was not like me because she was “bold and strong”. She had taken 15 kg of drugs to someone in Thailand. I was going to be paid R 16,000.00 for delivering the drugs on my dreadlocks.

24. When I came to the airport in Thailand, it seemed that the immigration officers already knew that I was coming, because they went straight for me and took me to a separate room. There the television cameras had already been set up. I told the police that I was coming to Sulezo and John. They phoned the two but their cellular phones were off. I told the police to let me go but follow me until I meet Sulezo and John, they refused. I said I would keep on phoning the two until they answered. They still refused.

25. Obviously, I made an error of judgment in this matter for which I am now forced to pay a heavy price. In retrospect, I should have been more cautious in my dealings with Sulezo and Samuel. I deeply regret the hurt this incident has caused to my family, my mother in particular. Already, I am receiving reports that since I was arrested her health has worsened and she is now receiving medical treatment for acute stress. In fact, I have already apologized to her and the family at large. I also apologize to our government in South Africa and the nation as a whole. To this court, I express my heart- felt apology that I was not suspicious enough even before I left South Africa. I am not a drug trafficker and I do not even know how drugs look like.

26. By the time I came to Brazil there was no way of turning the clock back and pull myself out of the sophisticated web of deception of which Sulezo was apparently a part. This is confirmed by the fact that although Sulezo was in Thailand, she was never arrested until she left. Since she returned to South Africa, she has not visited my family.

27. Even Hilda was possibly part of the deception. She just wanted to know if I was genuine and if not to report that to the Nigerians. I was sent to Thailand simply to get rid of me and to ensure that I would not go back to South Africa and report Samuel to the police.

28. I humbly request this Honorable Court to consider this background and how I was deceived.

NOLUBABALO NOBANDLA
SIGNED and SWORN to at BANGKOK in THAILAND on this the day of MAY 2012, the Deponent having agreed that she knows and understands the contents of this oath which are binding upon her.

All you are IDIOTS CALLING ETTEH a thief. she didnt steal any money. no courts or counsel has convicted her since that ettehgate saga. the 40milla they talked about was an ANTICIPATORY expenditure to renovate an multimillion naira house. she didnt even spend a kobo of that amount.

people think of it if she wanted to renovate a house for 40m but was called a thief how about someone who actuslly went on to renovate it for 10times that amount before he sold it to himself for 100milla.

as far as i am concerned she didnt steal any money and is no thief. the rogues are Bankole and Lawan who spearheaded the move to remove her because dhe refused to steal money

people wait a minuteo!!!

This thingy is not about GEJ o!! Its abt nigeriao. This subsidy thingy is killing nigerian economooo. We better allow Gofanment to remof it so that i can free more moneyo for other infrastructiral thingyo.

We better listeno

i drive an audi Q5 in south Africa and its d best car over. Bought it new in june and d experience is heavenly mostly because the roads in SA are lovely and there are numerous audi dealers with genuine parts here.
As for nija i think the problem is not limited to audi alone, all cars suffer from bad roads, poor mechanics and too many fake parts.

Just make sure you look for genuine audi dealers who will handle your car with respect

@ gen buhari
You must have the IQ of a neonate for suggesting OBJ should have sunk more money into a debt ridden, poorly managed company to save it so that as soon as he leaves again the same looters will converge on NA agin and bring it to its knees again.

Its been proven over and over again that govt cant run things-nepa, nitel, nipost etc cum to mind.

Anyways the question was who brought the collapse to NA? Certainly not OBj. Has to be between Shagari, Buhari and IBB.

Take your pick.

you are all idiots saying obasanjo caused the collapse of nigeria airways.

When he left as military head of state in 1979 NA had hundreds of planes in their fleet doing both international and domestic routes but wen he came back 20 years later it had only 3planes and things had gone soooo bad through years of mismanagement by both civilan and miltary govts.

In his 2nd coming NA was in dire state burdened with enormous debts and rarely flew.

what did he do about it? He sold it to virgin atlantic and it was called virgin nigeria and we all know this one did pretty well till obasanjo left.

Get your facts straight before coming here to talk uttet nonsense.

Fools!!!

IGBE N LA !!!!!!!

IGBELOLA

IGBEDOLA

IGBEDAYO

IGBEKOYI

IGBELADE

Fill in the gap

Baba suwe: officer, i wan SHAIIIIT OOOOOO!!!

NDLEA officer:----------

i was born in the 70s and i cant remember some of the tv series some people are writing here.

Where was i wen they were showing them abi una just dey lie lie?

1. Fashola- cant solve lagos problems all at once so he can be tolerated but obj couldnt solve all nija problem in 8yrs but lets crucify him and rubbish all his achievements but the little fashola has done is enough lets hype him

2. Tinubu- broke the law and stole money but lets support him because he is ACN but bode george should be jailed for doing the same thing becos he is PDP

3. Ajomobi leaves his duty post to support a criminal like tinubu, well lets call it politics, but if a pdp governor does same thing ehm, ehm, lets call him jobless and crucify

4. Obj goes to maiduguri to help pacify boko haram, hes senseless and doing eye service, Ajimobi goes to abuja well thats politics

Those who are saying the guy should have kept the hand on or around her waist should look again. Where is the waist? The butt has taken over everything. . . I bet the guy thought he held the waist!
, :.:,

Lmao

shame

ITS AMAZING HOW SOME PEOPLE COME HERE TO SHOW TOTAL LACK OF BRAINS AND IMAGINATION

it is no news that nigerias economy has been growing rapidly in the last 10yrs or so especially during the obasanjo years and many reasons can be aduced to this however just because the economy is growing doesnt mean it will immediately translate to employment and aleviation of poverty. there are many more other factors that need to be considered before any meaningful change can be felt by the masses like

good governance
population
infrastructure etc

look at china and india. these countries also have growing economies but with still large population of poor people because of their large population but they are actually way better than nigeria because they havebeen moving in the right direction becuase of good governace and they been doin yhis for years.

we ust have to hope and pray GEJ PROVIDES GOOD LEADERSHIP AND BUILD INFRASTRUCTUE AND FIGHT CRROPTION

So all these idiots coming here and slating our economic growth and comparing it to mosqiutos and goats are actually the goats themselves. learn to fancy your country as theres no other country you can claim

[i]The same man that said mobile phones were not for the poor? I wonder whether he ever thinks of that statement in retrospect


i dont understand how what someone said 26yrs ago can be used to judge him now since people, events and life have all moved on.

David Mark has shown grace and character in leading the senate over the past years and has demonstrated how people can be democraticalised.

And by the way Otupko doesnt have to be developed by Mark. hes not the governor or local government chairman

people must reason with their heads and not their As.ses instead of jumping on the bandwagon and critisis the man.

ok so some cinemas dey show porn these days? and porn don already dey 3D

This is simple. Akala has a case.
1. Counstition allows dual citizenship
2. But if you are contesting for presidency or governorship
You must renounce the other country because of conflict of interests
3. Now if you are NOT A NIGERIAN BY BIRTH but you acquire nigerian
Citizenship and then aquire that of another country as well as the nigerian
Citizenship then you automatically lose the nigerian citizenship that you aquired.

This means that Ajimobi, who is a nigerian by birth, doesnt need to renounce the
The American citiship  because hes a nugerian by birth BUT SINCE HE
WAS CONTESTING TO BE A GOVERNOR HE IS NOT ALLOWED BY LAW TO
KEEP TWO CITIZENSHIP



END OF STORY
