Not because of her, don't know the reason why it happened as I was still very young then, my parents only told me my old friends missed me, but I think its cos we were changing locations, I returned to my previous school though the distance became farther from our location, but it was just to complete that session before moving on. Never saw her again after I left.
Lols cool, I'm very sure as you saw what she wrote you'll be very happy throughout dat day

Cavenchy:
It was my first day as a new student in the school, there was this light skin girl with Alicia keys braids, she said she liked my handwriting and borrowed my notebook to copy the class lesson she missed. When she returned it at recess, she winked and asked me to check the last page, then left. At first I didn't understand, then I eventually saw it, I found she drew hearts and lips and wrote some really fascinating words. Too bad I didn't last long in that school(left the next day, didn't even know her name). Had several more similar encounters but this is the one I remember for now.

so you left the school because of her or for left for other reasons and did you see her after then?

Politics / Re: Whose Presidential Administration Is Most Satisfactory Since 1960 &why? by isholafisayo(m): 12:07pm On Jun 07, 2016
bejeiodus:
@ OP, none has been inspiring. They all raised our hopes and dashed them on the rocks of inept leadership. Shagari was not interested in becoming the President but was foisted on the nation by the Kaduna mafia. He was too pliant and subservient to their whims. Buhari's coup broadcast on the day he was ousted from office is an interesting overview of all that was wrong with his administration.

Obasanjo had the best opportunity and the people behind him, but he was more interested in taming Atiku than fulfilling his campaign promises. He also made sure he didn't repeat the mistake of 1979---he ensured he doesn't go broke again by stealing to his heart's content.

Yardua was sickly and couldn't do much.

Jonathan surrounded himself with sycophants and praise singers. He was always dancing naked yet they told him he wore beautiful robes.

Buhari is outdated and painfully lacking in twenty first century leadership skills. He his a man who barely listens to advice nor regard the opinions of others. A man with a rigid way of doing things is a misfit as head of a heterogeneous nation like Nigeria.
Hmmm love your points bro,but I still prefer yaradua's administration, but would have been better if he had completed his task.... may God help us....Amen

Politics / Whose Presidential Administration Is Most Satisfactory Since 1960 &why? by isholafisayo(m): 10:50am On Jun 07, 2016
Guys please what's your take on this and give your reasons
Well according to me, I prefer Yaradua's administration because he had better plans for Our great Nation compared to his predecessors but it was so unfortunate for his life was cut short, he couldn't fulfil his mission.....I hope God helps our current elected president to fulfil his promise if truly he has Good thought for Nigeria.
God bless Nigeria...

Crime / 10 Gruesome Killings In The Name Of Religion (pictures) by isholafisayo(m): 6:00pm On Jun 06, 2016
A 74-year old Igbo market woman, Mrs
Bridget Agbahime, was on Thursday
beheaded at Kofar Wambai Market, Kano, by
an irate mob, who accused her of
blaspheming Prophet Mohammed.
The incident occurred at about 4.30pm when
traders were about to close for the day’s
business.
While condemning such an act, the Northern
Christian Association of Nigeria described it
as barbaric and wondered why such
gruesome and barbaric incident always
featured in Kano, a foremost commercial city
in the country.

However, Kano, is not the only city or state
in the country where people have been killed
in the name of religion.
Here are ten gruesome religious killings
witnessed in the country since January 2000:


2000 Kaduna riots (21 February-23
May 2000)
The riot followed a proposal to adopt the
Sharia law in the state. The proposal led to a
violent clash between
Christians and Muslims in Kaduna State. It is
unclear how many people were killed. It is
estimated that between 1,000 to 5,000 people
died.

2001 Jos riots (7–17 September
2001)
These riots involved Christians and Muslims
who clashed violently in Jos, over the
appointment of a Muslim politician, Alhaji
Muktar Mohammed, as local coordinator of
the federal poverty alleviation program. The
clashes started on September 7 and lasted
nearly two weeks, ending on 17 September.
More than 1,000 people were killed during
the riots.

Miss World riots in
Kaduna (November 22, 2002)
The Miss World riots were a series
of religiously-motivated riots in Kaduna in
November 2002, claiming the lives of more
than 200 people.
The controversial Miss World beauty
pageant, which was meant to be held in
Kaduna, was relocated to London after
bloody clashes
between Muslims and Christians, caused by
what some Muslims deemed to be a
“blasphemous” article in a Christian
newspaper about the event.
The Miss World riots were part of the Sharia
Conflict, that started in 1999 when several
predominantly Islamic states in Northern
Nigeria decided to introduce Sharia law.

Yelwa massacre, Yelwa, Shedam
and Kano ( February 2, 2004)
The so-called Yelwa massacre was actually
a series of related incidents of mass violence
between Muslims and Christians which took
place in Yelwa, Kano State between February
and May 2004, killing over 700 people.
The first incident in the series occurred on
February 4, 2004 when armed Muslims
attacked the Christians of Yelwa, killing more
than 78 of them including at least 48 who
were worshiping inside a church
compound. According to some sources, the
signal for the attack was a call for Jihad from
the local mosque.
On May 2, 2004 local Christians responded to
the February incident by attacking Muslims in
Yelwa, resulting in roughly 630 deaths.
According to some sources, Muslim girls
were forced to eat pork and other foods
forbidden to Muslims and some were even
raped.

Muhammad cartoons controversy in
Maiduguri (February 18,2006)
The killings began after the Danish
newspaper Jyllands-Posten published 12
editorial cartoons on September 30, 2005,
most of which depicted Muhammad. The
newspaper announced that this was an
attempt to contribute to the debate
about criticism of Islam and self-censorship.
Muslim groups in Denmark complained, and
the issue eventually led to protests around
the world, including violent demonstrations
and riots in some Muslim countries.
The international crisis reached the Nigerian
city of Maiduguri, in which over 50 people
were killed and many buildings destroyed or
damaged by rioting Muslims.

2008 Jos riots (November 28-29)
The 2008 Jos riots involved
Christians and Muslims over the result of
a local election on November 29 and 29, 2008
in Jos. Two days of rioting left hundreds
injured and at least 761 dead. The Nigerian
army was deployed and by November 30
order was restored.

2009 Boko Haram uprising
The 2009 Boko Haram uprising was a conflict
between Boko Haram, a
militant Islamist group and Nigerian security
forces. Violence across several states in
northeastern Nigeria left over 1,000 dead,
with around 700 killed in the city of Maiduguri
alone, according to one military official.
A government inquiry later found that, while
long-standing tensions existed between Boko
Haram and the Nigerian Security forces, the
immediate cause of the violence stemmed
from an incident in which a group of the
sect’s members were stopped by police in
the city of Maiduguri as they were on the way
to the cemetery to bury a comrade.
The officers, part of a special operation
aimed at stamping out violence and rampant
crime in Borno State, demanded that the
young men comply with a law requiring
motorcycle passengers to wear helmets.
They refused and, in the confrontation that
followed, several people were shot and
wounded by police.
According to initial media reports the violence
began on July 26 when Boko Haram launched
an attack on a police station in Bauchi state,
with clashes between militants and
the Nigeria Police Force spreading to Kano,
Yobe and Borno soon after.

.
2010 Jos riot
The Jos riots were clashes
between Muslim and Christian ethnic groups
near the city of Jos. Since 2001, the area has
been plagued by violence motivated by
multiple factors.The clashes have been
characterised as “religious violence” by
many news sources, although others cite
ethnic and economic differences as the root
of the violence.
The first spate of violence of 2010 started on
17 January in Jos and spread to surrounding
communities. Houses, churches, mosques
and vehicles were set ablaze, during at least
four days of fighting. At least 326 people, and
possibly more than a thousand, were killed.
Hundreds of people died in fresh clashes in
March 2010. According to The New York
Times, the slaughtered villagers were mostly
Christians, slain by machete attacks from
groups of Hausa-Fulani Muslim
herdsmen.Hundreds more fled the area in
case the perpetrators returned.


December 2011 Nigeria attacks
A series of attacks occurred on Christmas
Day church services in northern Nigeria on
25 December 2011. There were bomb blasts
and shootings at churches
in Madalla, Jos, Gadaka, and Damaturu. A
total of 41 people were reported dead.
The Muslim sect, Boko Haram claimed
responsibility.

Yobe Federal Government College
attack (February 25, 2014)
On February 25, 2014, fifty-nine boys were
killed at the Federal Government College of
Buni Yadi in Yobe State. The twenty-four
buildings of the school were also burned
down as a result of the attack. No group has
claimed responsibility for the attack, but
according to media and local officials,
the Islamist militants, Boko Haram, are
suspected to be the attack.

Politics / Nigerians Tell Buhari: Name, Shame Looters, Mere Figures Not Enough by isholafisayo(m): 2:26am On Jun 05, 2016
Several groups and individuals across
Nigeria have called on President
Muhammadu Buhari to fulfil his promise of
naming those who stole from the country’s
treasury.
Those who spoke to SUNDAY PUNCH in
reaction to the list of recovered funds and
assets published by the Federal Government
on Saturday insisted that the names of those
who returned their loot must be published to
make the loot recovery process more
transparent.
President Buhari had on May 13, 2016, in an
interview he granted some journalists before
he departed from London where he attended
an Anti-Corruption Summit organised by the
British Prime Minister, David Cameron,
promised to disclose to Nigerians the amount
his government had so far recovered from
those who looted the nation’s treasury and
their names on May 29.
The date, being Democracy Day, was when
his administration clocked one.
Buhari said, “So far, what has come out;
what has been recovered in whatever
currency from each ministry, department and
individual; I intend on the 29th to speak on
these. This is because of all what Nigerians
are getting from the mass media; because of
the number of people arrested either by the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
or Department of State Services. But we
want to make a comprehensive report on the
29th.”
When asked whether he would also publish
the names of the looters, Buhari replied,
“Yes, eventually, it has to be done because
we want to successfully prosecute them. But
you know you cannot go to the courts unless
you have documents for prosecution. People
signed for these monies into their personal
accounts.”
When the Federal Government released the
list on Saturday, it had only the details of
funds and assets recovered and those
pending locally and internationally. No name
of any of those from whom the funds and
assets were recovered was mentioned.
The failure to name the looters had generated
widespread reactions from members of the
public on Saturday.
The Nigerian Bar Association urged the
President to keep his promise by releasing
the names of looters.
According to the President of the NBA, Mr.
Augustine Alegeh (SAN), the revelation is
important for citizens to gain closure.
He said, “For us, it is always important that
the promises our leaders make to the people
are kept. I believe that if there is any legal
impediment that prevents the President, who
is a forthright person, from keeping a
promise he has made to the Nigerian people,
he should let Nigerians know.
“It is also important that we know the
quantum of recoveries made from various
persons so that it will be something that is
known to every Nigerian and there would be
no challenge. How did you arrive at the
figures that are out there if you don’t put not
just names but reasons (to the recovered
loots)?
“Tomorrow, you could hear that (after) all the
amounts that Mr. ‘A’ or Mr. ‘B’ looted, nothing
was done. You could also start to hear that
the loot recovery was only targeted at those
who weren’t supporting the president.”
Alegeh noted that the only instance where the
President could withhold the names was if
there was a legal obstacle.
According to him, there are certain
transactions with confidentiality clauses,
which make it impossible for government to
release the names. He said, should the
government find itself in such an instance, it
should say so clearly.
The Yoruba socio-political organisation,
Afenifere, on Saturday also told SUNDAY
PUNCH that there was nothing revealing in
the information the government published.
The Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Mr.
Yinka Odumakin, told one of our
correspondents that the amount released as
recovered loot was less than the total
amount of figures bandied about by the
Federal Government and its agencies since
the anti-corruption campaign began.
He said, “As far as we are concerned, there
is nothing new on the list shown to Nigerians.
Anybody can just put figures together. Where
are the particulars of the recovery? From
who were they (the loot) recovered?
“In the last one year, different rumours have
been flying about with regard to those who
refunded billions of naira and dollars. The
figure they have released now is too opaque;
it is not transparent and does not lend
credence to their claims. Anybody can just
write anything and throw it out (to the public).
“We need the particulars; from who were the
monies recovered? If they don’t do that, then,
they are just wasting our time; they are just
making a mockery of the whole process.
They talked about naming and shaming, let
them release the names. As it is now, there
is no revelation yet before Nigerians.”
Also, the Ijaw National Congress on Saturday
said the inability of Buhari to mention the
names of the country’s treasury looters was
an indication that the President had
succumbed to pressure from the looters.
The spokesman for the INC, Mr. Victor
Burubo, who described the development as
an anti-climax, stated that it was not the first
time the President would be doing so to
Nigerians.
He said, “This is not the first time they are
doing this to Nigerians. In the appointment of
ministers, the President said he wanted to
appoint spectacular people and this took him
six months. But he ended up appointing run-
of-the-mill ministers.
“On the amount recovered as loot, many
figures were mentioned but we have virtually
nothing. If the President promised to name
the looters and at the end, he could not do
so, it means he has succumbed to the
pressure from the looters.”
Similarly, the Ohanaeze Youth Council, the
youth wing of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, faulted
the government’s failure to disclose the
identity of those that the sums were
recovered from.
The President of the OYC, Mr. Okechukwu
Isiguzoro, demanded full disclosure of the
names of looters.
He said, “Nigerians have been anticipating
the release of the looters’ list for a while
now; it is disappointing that the government
only came out with figures. Inasmuch as the
people need to know the amount that was
recovered, they should also know the identity
of persons that stole the money.
“In fact, if the Federal Government is
sincerely fighting corruption, it should
disclose the identity of those that stole and
returned money. It appears that there is a
deliberate attempt to shield looters and that is
totally unacceptable. Nigerian youths are not
impressed.”
In the same vein, a member of the Federal
Parliament in the Second Republic and
Convener of the Coalition of Northern
Politicians, Academics, Professionals and
Businessmen, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, stated
that he had a “conflicted attitude towards the
funds.”
He said, “I don’t believe what is being said to
have been recovered was what was actually
recovered. What was stolen was more than
what was recovered. If the government is
sincere about recovering the remaining
money, they have to redouble their efforts in
recovering, as much as possible, all that was
stolen and is returned to the national
treasury.
“I am not a lawyer, so I wouldn’t want to
venture into a legal opinion of the status of
those who have stolen the money. But if the
law makes it difficult to disclose the names
of those who stole the money, their identities
and their names will be endangering the case
itself. But, please, let the names be
disclosed.”
Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana,
dismissed the amount the government said it
had recovered as far less than the true
amount.
He said, “Let me tell you this: That list is not
correct. I know that the EFCC has recovered
about $3.1bn. I think this is just the report
from a department; it is not a comprehensive
one.
“The figure announced has not taken
cognizance of the totality of the fund that has
been recovered by all the anti-graft
agencies. From the information at my
disposal, the figure announced by the
information minister is a fraction of what the
EFCC has recovered and deposited in the
Central Bank of Nigeria.”
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria noted that in
order not to discourage more looters from
returning stolen funds, the Federal
Government might not want to name the
looters yet.
“In fact, some of the looters who have stolen
the bulk of the missing money, who are on
the run, are being pursued in different
jurisdictions in the world,” Falana added.
In his submission, the Executive Chairman,
Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, Mr. Debo
Adeniran, told SUNDAY PUNCH that those
who had returned stolen money or from
whom assets were recovered should be
named, shamed and prosecuted.
Adeniran asked, “Is there any attempt to
cover up their atrocities? If we fight these
looters and do not name them, we are
allowing them to go away with the dignity
they falsely acquired. They can still carry on
with their lives as if nothing has ever
happened to indicate that they are corrupt.
People will still accord them respect. That is
not fair; it does not augur well for honest,
hard-working Nigerians.
“Anybody trying to cover up on this matter
should be brought to book. Confessing to a
crime is a first step in anti-corruption
crusade; those involved should be named,
shamed and prosecuted. Failure to do this
will mean the government is conspiring
against the society.”
Similarly, the National Association of Nigerian
Students described the non-disclosure of
looters’ names as a failure on the President’s
part.
The President of NANS, Mr. Tijani Usman,
said, “He (Buhari) has failed in his promise
because he must be a man of his word and
we are looking up to him as a leader that
Nigerian students should emulate. If he has
given us his word that on May 29,
Democracy Day, he would bring out the list of
looters and he has failed to do that, then
where is his integrity?
“We have heard about his promise and
Nigerian students are not happy with that. We
are urging him to live up to his word and
release the names of those looters who had
stolen our country’s money.”
The presidential candidate of the KOWA Party
in the 2015 election, Prof. Remi Sonaiya, also
asked why the Federal Government should
protect the identities of those who returned
stolen funds and assets.
According to her, if the identities of
suspected beneficiaries of slush funds from
the Office of the National Security Adviser
under Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.) were not
shielded, those whose loot has been
recovered should not be shielded.
She said, “Just releasing a list is not
sufficient, considering the suffering the entire
nation has gone through. We demand more
from the government. Making a list of
recovered loot and stolen assets is not
sufficient as a deterrent for criminals.”
A former Vice-President of the Nigeria
Labour Congress, Mr. Issa Aremu, described
the release of the list by the Federal
Government as significant and commendable.
But he said, “It is desirable to know who the
looters that have returned stolen money and
assets are. It will also be interesting to know
those foreign government officials who aided
looters to stash stolen money abroad so that
Nigerians can march in protest at their
embassies.”
On the list published by the Federal
Government on Saturday, the administration
said it had recovered a total of N115.7bn
cash, while assets worth over N1.9tn had
been frozen in one year.
In a statement by the Minister of Information,
Culture and Tourism, Mr. Lai Mohammed, the
government said the recoveries were made
between May 29, 2015 and May 25, 2016.
The government gave the breakdown of the
loot as N78,325,354,631.82;
$185,119,584.61; £3,508,355.46 and €11,
250.
A conversion of the funds using the official
exchange rate of the Central Bank of Nigeria,
showed that the amount adds up to
N115,792,760,499.
The statement read in part, “The Federal
Government made cash recoveries totalling
N78,325,354,631.82; $185,119,584.61;
£3,508,355.46 and €11,250 from May 29,
2015 to May 25, 2016.”
The monies were said to have been
recovered by the EFCC, the Office of the
Attorney-General of the Federation, the
Independent Corrupt Practices and Other
Related Offences Commission and the DSS.
The Muhammadu Buhari-led government
added that a separate amount of cash and
assets worth over N1.9tn had also been
seized. However, the properties and cash
are under legal contention.
The assets and cash seized under interim
forfeiture totalled $9bn; N126bn; £2.4m and
€303,399.
A conversion of the worth of assets and cash
seized based on the official CBN exchange
rate totalled: N1,918,113,864,063.
It added, “Recoveries under Interim
Forfeiture (cash and assets) during the
period totalled N126,563,481,095.43;
$9,090,243,920.15; £2,484,447.55 and
€303,399.17.”
The government added that funds awaiting
return from foreign jurisdictions totalled
$321,316,726.1; £6,900,000 and €11,826.11.
The statement added that 239 non-cash
recoveries such as farmlands, plots of land,
uncompleted buildings, completed buildings,
vehicles and maritime vessels were also
seized during the period.
Meanwhile, the Socio-Economic Right
Accountability Project on Saturday said the
Buhari-led administration should expedite
legal action against all looters in a bid to
make their identities known.
The Executive Director of SERAP, Mr.
Adetokunbo Mumuni, noted that the
government should prosecute those who had
been investigated and found to have looted
the nation’s treasury, in order to avoid
political witch-hunting.
He said, “Investigations should have been
concluded now. You cannot say you
recovered money and since then, you have
not done any investigation, such that their
(looters’) arraignment in court will then be
delayed. I don’t think that would be justice.
“What the President should do is direct the
Attorney General to hasten the process for
the looters to be prosecuted. It is when we
start seeing convictions from the court that
we know that they’ve actually committed the
offence; that is what the Nigerian constitution
demands.”

Politics / Presidency: Buhari Is Not Sick by isholafisayo(m): 2:06am On Jun 05, 2016
The Presidency yesterday denied an online
report claiming that President Muhammadu
Buhari was ill and treating an ear infection.
Speaking on telephone with our correspondent,
the Special Adviser to the President on Media
and Publicity, Femi Adesina, dismissed the report
as false.
The President, Adesina said, was fine and
discharging his duties as President of Nigeria.
“It is not true. It is the imagination of the writer.
The President is fine and has been performing
his duties.”
The report claimed that the President was ill with
infection in his left ear, known as Meniere
Disease, and that the President was being
treated at the Presidential Villa by his personal
physician and other experts from the State
House Clinic.
The website also claimed that the illness has
reduced the President’s outings in the last one

Politics / Looters Return N78billion, $185m, £3 Million To FG by isholafisayo(m): 1:53am On Jun 05, 2016
•Why govt didn’t name and shame culprits 
N126b, $9m forfeited pending trial of suspects
•$321m, $6.9m expected from abroad
•Interim report on financial, assets recoveries released
The Federal Government’s anti-graft war is truly on. Three hundred and seventy-one days into its tenure, much of which it spent chasing looted funds and the perpetrators, government yesterday said it had recovered  N78,325,354,631.82 (Seventy eight billion, three hundred and twenty-five million, three hundred and fifty-four thousand, six hundred and thirty one Naira and eighty two kobo); $185,119,584.61 (One hundred and eight five million, one hundred and nineteen thousand, five hundred and eighty four US dollars, sixty one cents); 3,508,355.46 Pounds Sterling (Three million, five hundred and eight thousand, three hundred and fifty-five Pounds and 46 Pence) and 11, 250 Euros (Eleven thousand, two hundred and fifty Euros) of the money.
A separate N126,563,481,095.43 (One hundred and twenty six billion, five hundred and sixty three million, four hundred and eighty one thousand, and ninety five Naira, forty three kobo was temporarily seized  pending the conclusion of corruption related cases.
Also in this category of Recoveries Under Interim Forfeiture (cash and assets) are:  $9,090,243,920.15 (Nine billion, ninety million, two hundred and forty three thousand, nine hundred and twenty Dollars, fifteen cents; 2,484,447.55 Pounds Sterling (Two million, four hundred and eighty four thousand, four hundred and forty seven Pounds, fifty five Pence) and 303,399.17 Euros (Three hundred and three thousand, three hundred and ninety-nine Euros, 17 cents ) seized from suspects facing trial or under investigation.
Information and Culture Minster Lai Mohammed said in a statement in Lagos yesterday that the government’s action “is based on the interim report on the financial and assets recoveries made by the various government agencies from 29 May 2015 to 25 May 2016.”
More funds are also being expected from abroad.
These are stolen monies stashed in foreign banks by corrupt government officials.
They are tagged ‘Funds awaiting return from foreign jurisdictions’.
Mohammed put the figures at: $321,316,726.1 (Three hundred and twenty one million, three hundred and sixteen thousand, seven hundred and twenty six Dollars, one cent); 6,900,000 Pounds (Six million, nine hundred thousand Pounds) and 11,826.11 Euros (Eleven thousand, eight hundred and twenty six Euros, 11 cents).
Non-Cash Recoveries (Farmlands, Plots of Land, Uncompleted Buildings, Completed Buildings, Vehicles and Maritime Vessels) recovered by government in the last one year total 239.
The war against corruption forms a key aspect of the policies of the Buhari Administration.
President Muhammadu Buhari had promised, during his trip to Britain last month to take part in a global summit on corruption, that  government would publish details of cash recovered from looters by government to enable Nigerians know the extent of graft in the system.
