[b][/b]So because he won AFCON, he can coach for as long as he wants even though he clearly has taken Nigeria to the farthest he can? Just One win in the last eleven matches and this man is still keeping his job? One win in Eleven Matches?

The question is: Was Ike Uche ever invited to the team by Keshi? If you want a player, you send an invitation to his club. Did Keshi send any invitation to Villareal? So how did Ike Uche refuse to aome until he's begged when he was not invited in the first place? Please Big Boss Keshi, the whole world has seen that you don't want Ike Uche (and those sympathetic to him like his brother, Kalu and Haruna) near THE NATIONAL TEAM for whatever reason. But, it is not fair trying to ruin the player's career or reputation because of your beef with him.

Is it not clearly obvious that the Federal Government do not want the Boko Haram insurgency to end? At least, not before the 2015 elections.

All this orchestrated rumours about Ebola will do no one any good. The people behind these rumours are no better than Mr Patrick Sawyerr himself. And the owners and moderators of websites and blogs using all these false stories to drive traffic to their websites are very insensitive and I pray they be the next victims of this virus.

what a Stupid question. Your mum will even slap you for not slapping her for $600 Million

Stuuuupiid question. Your mum will even slap you for not slapping her for $600 Million

I always look forward to buying a tuface album but honestly, after listening to the ascension album, I rate it as the least impressive of all his albums. Apart from Confessions, featuring Dammy Krane and Rocksteady, the rest of the songs are, at best, just average. I expect better from 2baba. He is no ordinary musician and should not be releasing an album if there are not enough classic songs on it. Sometimes, it took Michael Jackson up to 5 or 6 years to release an album because he does not want to "fall his hand".

Those who live in Rivers State will know this is probably a cult supremacy war between "Dey Gbam" and "Dey Well". These cults will continue to exist and flourish as long as our evil politicians (both PDP and APC) keep on patronizing them.

It is only an underage or someone who has never been married that would say separate rooms would lead to separation. There is no one rule in marriage that fits all. Almost all couples who got separated or divorced lived in the same room. Living in separate rooms would actually keep the sparkle in their sex lives going on, a problem that most couples experience after a few years of living and sleeping together. There is the real danger of the sex turning into a boring routine and this is the major catalyst of infidelity in marriages, especially from the man. Mind you, this has nothing to do with love or "true love", but human nature. Love, alone, is no guarantee that the marriage will work. Only married people will understand what I mean. Unmarried people would always say such things as "if there is true love, this and that will not happen or he will not do this or that". Fantasy!

If the Nigerian federal government had really wanted Boko Haram to end, it will not take them up to three months to flush them out as stated by the then new defence chief. How can this rag-tag army be stronger than the Nigerian Armed Forces? Instead, the activities of Boko Haram were used to blackmail the opposition and ensured that the ill-informed and mostly illiterate Nigerian public has come to believe that the main opposition party are the backers and financiers of Boko Haram. This propaganda has served the ruling party very well and is its chief weapon to win the next general elections. We are only beginning to see some little concerted efforts from the federal forces because of the international backlash after the abduction of the Chibok girls.

In Port Harcourt, you have the sharks stadium which is mainly used by sharks fc for league matches and the pitch has tartan tracks round it. Then, there is the Liberation stadium which is mainly used by dolphins fc to host league matches and the pitch has tartan tracks round it. Then the Amaechi government built a third stadium, the Adokie Aimesimaka Stadium and guess what? The pitch also has tartan tracks round it. Maybe they want to host olympic games in the stadiums. No wonder port harcourt football fans flock to aba to watch local league matches instead of watching in their "olympic" and "world class sports complex"

[quote author=Reference]

Its a sports stadium not just a soccer stadium

So when are we going to have soccer stadiums in the country seeing that all the so-called sports or olympic stadiums are mainly used for soccer games. What is the sense in having three "sports" stadiums in one state and no "soccer" stadium? How many so-called sports or olympic stadiums do you have in all of England? Almost all the major stadiums are built for football, wembley, emirates, old trafford, anfield, saint james park, villa park, etc. This is what obtains in every country that have thinking people. Must all our stadiums be "olympic" or "sports" stadiums? Where then do we host league and big football matches? How many non-football sporting events are actually held in these so-called sports stadiums?

Another disappointment. Is it compulsory to have tartan tracks round the football pitch? When will they realize that football stadiums these days do not have tartan tracks so as to give the fans a more pleasant viewing? Try watching a football match in Nigeria and sit behind one of the goal posts and you will never go to the stadium again. It is no coincidence that the Enyimba Stadium in Aba and the Kano Pillars Stadium in Kano do not have tartan tracks round the pitch and they attract the largest crowds in the league.

Please, well meaning Nigerians, Abia State government are not telling the truth here. The incidence that happened in Obite (not Obiete), Etche in Rivers State is a different case entirely. That one involved a married woman and there was no video as claimed. The one in Abia State University, as we all know, involved a young girl and not a married woman. If they say, they have unmasked the culprits, then they should reveal their names or their faces when they appeared in court. I am afraid they are trying to cover up the ABSU rape case and the big question is WHY?

Please post VIN and odometer pic. If satisfied, can meet ur price.

It is true that English is not our mother tongue but it is our official lingua franca. Victor is rich, no doubt and a relatively good analyst but there are jobs that need a relatively good command of the language to do it effectively. Football analysis/presentation is one of them, another is preaching. You must have noticed how preachers (e.g. TB Joshua) go the extra length to improve on their english. Your job is to convince people and you can hardly do it well if the people you are talking to are put off by your poor grammar. I know that every pastor that has gone through a bible school knows the importance of a good command of the language you will preach in.

As for football analysis, the job of the analyst is to give a proper analysis (review and preview) of the match for the benefit of the viewer. He is there because of the viewer and serves the interest of the viewer and is supposedly paid with the viewers' subscription. I have lately been changing the channel during half-time when Victor is on set to avoid listening to his virtual murder of the english language. In that case, has he served my interest? While not claiming to be an expert in English language and not disputing the fact that you do not have to be a "grammarian" to be rich, let us understand that the job he is doing needs a better command of the language. It should be a basic prerequisite for one to do the job effectively. He is being criticised because of the job he is doing which needs a better command of the language. If he was not a football analyst or a public speaker, no one will coma and say Ikepba does not know how to speak English. I think Supersports should spare the guy all the embarrassment and do the proper thing.

LeoMax:

[size=15pt]Sahara lied, there was no such warrant or memo issued. And there was no such calls to Jonathan from Koffi Annan. If you believe the sentimental blogging from Sahara Reporters, you can believe anything. Once in a while they have fact, but I can tell you 97% of the information they put online are bogus and no intelligent human should be visiting that blog except for a comic relief[/size]

So, what makes you think that we should believe you instead of Sahara reporters? If "no intelligent human" should be visiting that blog, then you have the most unintelligent humans running your government because they visit it daily. Go spin your concocted, amateurish and unintelligent lies elsewhere.

@Uboma, you did well by exposing the guyman. I wonder why sienna and some guys here are only interested in showing us their "intelligence" when it is obvious that the guy is a fraud. The fact that the guy has been withdrawing from that account shows that he had succeeded in duping some people. He wouldn't make deposits into that account because he would not dare going into the banking hall as any wise guyman would. He would only withdraw with ATM and any day the ATM card is blocked, he will abandon the account knowing that "job don knock". By exposing him here could save some people who would have been duped tomorrow. That is the most important thing and that is what uboma is trying to achieve with his post. He should be commended instead of being investigated.

@sienna, I have a piece of advice for you. I think you are an intelligent man but a typical Nigerian always thinks that he is the most intelligent and will not back down in any argument even if emerging facts prove that his original position was the wrong one. My experiences in almost four decades on this earth has taught me that it does not reduce your standing by recognizing when you are wrong and agree to the opposing argument. Rather, it is a sign of maturity and security.

The world, and surely Nigeria, would have been a more peaceful place without the "religion of peace".

This guy will always defend his boss so no surprise here. Everyone knows that subsidies are at the detriment of the government and are inflationary. You do not need to be an economic professor to know that. We agree that subsidies should go. But what every patriotic Nigerian is saying is simple: fix the refineries and give the country power. Then, only after that should the subsidy go. This government has stayed long enough to achieve these so who are they deceiving.

Why should we be importing fuel in the first instance? These refineries, is it not human beings like them that built them? Is it because of the subsidy that they can not improve the power situation in the country? The money spent on the subsidy annually, is it more than the amount embezzled by corrupt government officials (from the President, to the Finance Minister, to The CBN Governor, The state governors, legislooters, etc)? Sanusi should answer these questions first before spewing his rubbish.

I live in Port Harcourt and though I did not attend the show but, since it was a free show, I expect that there would be a lot of low-income earners who probably have not been to a paid concert before and probably have not heard the kind of music played by Luciano. The organisers should have put that into consideration and invited artistes that the audience will most likely appreciate. Even if they want to bring a foreign artiste, not someone most of the crowd have never heard of.

While not justifying the behaviour, folks trying to localise the incidence are just ignorant and must be of the same class as the people they are condemning. If you are really exposed as most of you claim, you should have known that even worse incidents than this have happened in the so-call advanced countries. The late Amy Winehouse was booed off stage in Belgrade. Nickelbeck, a rock star, was booed off stage and even hit with rocks in Portugal by an audience who did not appreciate his genre of music (just like the Port Harcourt fans did not appreciate Luciano's music). Bottles were thrown at Charlie Sheen at an Ohio concert. Like someone pointed out here, Flavour received similar treatment in an African country.

There are several cases of artistes receiving worse treatment from an audience. It is part of the hazards of the job. It has happened in Port Harcourt but could also have happened in Lagos, Abuja, Accra, Johannesburg, New York, London or Tokyo.

With the kind of responses in this thread from supposed graduates, I would not be surprised if the UK authorities, after reading the thread, goes further to ban all graduates from Nigerian universities. Or at least, those that graduated after 2000 (with that, I will be excluded, ha ha ha)

A list is churned out with some seemingly surprising names. Instead of you guys to find out the criteria used and the justification for the supposed ban, everyone is busy defending his/her school. "Oh thank God, my school is not on the list", "not surprised so-so school is there", "why is this and that school not there".

Are those the worst medical schools in the country? And are the ones left out better than the ones on the list? Are there no bodies to measure and regulate standards in these schools here? What specific criteria were used to measure standards in a foreign country and how objective are they? Was this measurement done to all medical schools in the world or limited to Nigerian schools? These are some of the questions that should occupy any "educated" mind. Without answers to these questions, how can one justify or condemn the ban?

@mbulela, the onus is not on anyone to prove your story false but the onus is on you to prove that your story is true which you have not done so far. Wednesdays are the most crowded days in Silverbird Port Harcourt and it is expected that if such an incidence occurred, some one in this forum could have witnessed it and collaborated your story. You have not made any clarification as to whether the said incidence occurred outside the premises or inside the premises. You keep referring other posters to the said victim when you could have just posted a link from any news medium to substantiate your claim. There is no way, all the whole news media will blackout an incidence of that magnitude.

As for those always blowing the crime rate in Nigeria out of proportion, I don't think there is any city that does not witness a gun crime EVERYDAY but you still see our people residing there and never pass the kind of comments they make when similar incidents occur in Nigeria. Considering that we have a non-existent Police here in Nigeria, gun crime rate is actually low compared to countries like South Africa and United States.

Any Nigerian in diaspora that does not want to come back is free to remain wherever he/she is but should not use insecurity as an excuse. Those "making it" abroad are always coming back and the real reason some never come back might be financially or immigration related. Those offered lucrative appointments (like Aganga, Okonjo-Iweala, etc) do not refuse to come back home because of insecurity. I swear that most of you would run back home if offered even a councillorship position.

You can not make a list of richest people without stating their estimated worth. On that basis, this list is useless. If you do not know their estimated worth, then you can not make comparison.

People are busy beefing while boys are busy making money. Any music that sells is good music. Those who think music is all about lyrics are just ignorant of what music is all about. Music is, first and foremost, entertainment before information or education. Nigerian music is entertaining the African continent so I wonder why the criticism. Keri Hilson must have been pissed off hearing so much Nigerian music in South African radio stations that she had to take notice. Some people here think they know too much about what music should be but it is the buying public that determine what music should be. Right now, Nigerian music rules the continent. If you have a problem with that, you are clearly in the minority.

I think you guys are getting it all wrong. Music is for an audience and right now, Nigerian music and musicians are hotter than ever. Their music is mainly for the Nigerian and African audience and it is not by force to sell to the whole world. Do you know of any musician from China? Sure they have music industry there and the big stars there should sell more albums than the average American musician. The problem with your mentality is that you have a false notion of how music should be sang i.e. the way Americans do it.

Even all over Africa, Nigerian music rules. Our music have never had it so good and it is mainly because they are now singing for the Nigerian audience. It does not matter whether Keri Hilson appreciates it or not. I doubt if she would sell more albums in Nigeria than Whizkid, M.I. or even the much berated Ice Prince. But she could sell more than the much acclaimed Mode Nine (You get my point?).

Every music should have a territorial target. You need to conquer your immediate territory before going further. There was a time when all you would hear in nite clubs, parties and radio were foreign music. All that have changed now, Nigerian music have conquered their country and about conquering their continent. I wonder why ignorant peeps are still beefing just because they don't sing like the Americans anymore.

I need some urgent graphic work for my website. Can anyone here?

databoy, I called the number on your profile so we can discuss some business but it's not going through.
