Obasanjo ruled for 8 years, he was unable to repair roads leading to his home town

Is possible in Nigeria, not possible in USA. In USA the school system is different and is based on age
The junior school in USA is like the JSS in Nigeria. You cannot start 6th grade ( JSS1 in Nigeria) until you turn 11, also a kid cannot start 9th grade until 14 years of age in USA. USA senior high school is 4 yrs I.e 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade.

Mayweather , Pls come and challenge this overfed Kid(Furious Tyson) before u go on retirement. I beli9eve u can compete in the3 heavy weight category

Mayweather cannot challenge him because they are not in same weight category. Tyson Fury is heavyweight fighter while Mayweather is welterweight fighter. Two different categories.
Samuel Peter can fight him, they are in same category

Watched the fight on HBO Boxing, not interesting because both of them were running around, not throwing punches but Tyson were more aggressive. Tyson fury cuts klischko face through head butt. All the 3 judges declared him the winner.

I was issued a UK visa to travel for xmas...My brother wants me to travel with her 2yrs old daughter to see our aunt in London. We are yet to fill her application online. Which is the best way to apply for her visa?

Your brother will need to obtain visa for her first. To travel with the baby get a notarized letter from the baby parent, stating that they aware and approve the trip. Let them attached photocopy of the data page of their passports to the notarized letter as a form of ID. If possible both parent should accompany you to airport.
In 2010 I was traveling with 2 of my kids to US. Immigration at Lagos airport delayed me until they got consent of my wife. She came to the airport, they asked my kids to identify her. They are doing this because of child trafficking.
Your case is different because you are not the kid's father, also the age of the baby in question. Because in Naija we see people selling their biological kids.
As for me I will not do it because it doesn't make sense, even with the parent consent they might still see it as child trafficking, may be the parent want to sell the baby. You need to becarefull.

True talk

With this evidence, I believe the lady is a liar. I think she is angry because the guy married someone else.

TonyeBarcanista:
N/B: Read The Article Before Commenting.

I have been following the story between Miss aka Sugabelly and Mustapha Audu, the son of the late Chief Abubakar Audu. I have watched the reaction of people especially madam Oby Ezekwesili and Hon Abike Dabiri, and I must say that their position on this matter is illogical, embarrassing and unfair to Mustapha Audu and humanity. Let us look at the issue @ hand.

THE MAJOR LIES IN @Sugarbelly's ALLEGATION:
Lie Number One: Audu Abubakar Was Not The Governor As At 2007/8:
Firstly, the so called accuser @Sugabelly alleged that the late Audu Abubakar condoned the 'ficticious' rape just because he was the Governor of Kogi state. This is very far from the truth because Audu Abubakar was elected Governor in 1998, and served between 1999 and May 29, 2003 when he was defeated by Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, who served from 2003 to 2011. He couldn't have used the office of Governor to condone rape when he wasn't the Governor then. In fact, he never ascended to the office after 2003 till his unfortunate demise.

Lie Number 2: False Claim of Friends Gang rape:
I had to read the email exchange between miss Sugabelly and Mustapha, on this said FB message, she was the one apologising to Mustapha Audu for FLIRTING with Audu's friend. From the tone of the message, one will see that Mustapha was the jealous type that got angry because Sugabelly was flirting with his friend. (See paragraph two of the screenshot)


So where does the gang rape story come from? How can a jealous BF allow his friends to have canal knowledge of his GF?

Lie Number 3: False Claim of Rape:
In one of the mails @Sugabelly sent to Mustapha, she was recounting their "sweet memories" and when you look at one of their memories, you will see that both of them had consensual romp and sex. In fact, she was excited recalling some hot memories...


She even talked about their crazy street sex that they had everynight at different streets...


See what she said after their first sex...

@Sugabelly's Mum Was Aware of The Relationship:
While many erroneously assumed that Mustapha Audu took advantage of the Sugabelly of a character, the truth is that her mother was very much aware of their relationship. In the mail sent to Mustapha by Sugabelly, she made reference of her mom not being happy with Mustapha. Pls see...


Pray tell, was this a relationship or rape?

Mustapha DUMPED Her Because He Didn't Trust Her:
From one of her plea email for a comeback to Mustapha, the so-called rape victim even admitted that Mustapha didn't trust her, and was trying to appeal to his emotion for his trust. Maybe he was right not trusting her with her baseless allegation


Please, does relationship turn sour equate rape? Why victimise an innocent man that is mourning his father?

Concluding...
I put it to @Sugabelly that she was never raped but only trying to blackmail a man that she once loved after all her plea for a comeback failed.

I put it to Madam Oby Ezekwesilli and Hon Abike Dabiri that they are embarrassing to the HIGHEST order for taking a position without a holistic probe of the event. I put it to Oby that she's an hypocrite raised to power ten for knowing the truth and concealing it in order to blackmail an innocent man that is mourning the death of his father just because she's a friend to @Sugabelly's mother.

I am proud and happy to take the time and pains to put this up for the cause of defending an innocent man.

For the record, I wasn't paid nor hired to do this. My love for justice motivated me.






May God Bless All Sincere Nigerians and Lovers of Humanity

What is your own business in this matter? Use your precious time wisely. Wait a minute, are u Moustapha? Let mustapa defend himself

Idrismusty97:
Exactly! Over the months Jumia have been steadily increasing the price of their goods in preparation for this Black Friday despite little changes in the Naira-Dollars exchange rate. They just took little percentage off or revert it back to their normal price. This is a glorious huge mega scam!

As for Jumia you might be right because I don't know anything about them, Black Friday is real.

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in USA. People regard it as the 1st day of traditional Xmas shopping. A lot of offers and discounts on this day. For example solo2 beats headphone that sells for $199 is now on sale at Target store for less than $100. This is about shopping not about color of skin

Kevinoh:


No, not yet. I contacted them via their TLS contact link and they sent me a mail that their local team is doing some further investigation. Meanwhile the graduation ceremony I was to attend is for today.

I don't understand how they are still investigating whatever after I got a mail on the 11th from shefield saying a decision has been made.

Please guys, is this normal?

How far? Have u heard from TLScontact

This is serious.

babyisUS:


Wow! Just keep pestering them. I have read here that once you get an email saying decision has been made, another email is supposed to accompany it saying your passport is ready for collection... I will put u in my prayers...

I got two mails today, first saying decision has been made, second mail came 25 minutes later saying my passport and documents are ready for collection. God willing I will go and pick it up tomorrow cos am out of town. So tomorrow morning I will head back to Abuja to go pick them up...hoping for the best

Best of luck

babyisUS:



Why not go to TLS with the email sent about decision made, and find out from them if your passport has been returned . If you go through this thread, you'd find out that a lot of people were in the same position as you guys but when they went to TLS,their passports were there waiting for collection.

I email TLSCONTACT yesterday. I got 2 email from them.
1st email - We have not received your passport & documents
2nd email - your enquiry have been forwarded to our manager

I don't really know what is going on

sapphy:


Please what is going on?
i applied since 26th october and received a decision made on the 13th.
Im very worried, can we just stomp the tls office?
i suspect a system failure

I don't really know what is going on. My wife got email message that decision have been made on November 11th, up till now know information from UKTLSCONTACT

Kevinoh:
Good morning my people,

I got a mail since thursday morning last week that a decision has been made and uptil this moment I have not heard from them.

Please is this normal?

How far? Have you pick up your passport yet? My wife is having same issue since November 11th

The bastard we rotten in jail.

Decision was made on my wife UK visa application on November 11th but up till today they never call her for pick up.

You cannot blame UBA for blocking your account. That your business partner is a fraudster. You might need to go to his office to challenge him. Look for a way to get his address.

What am about to say might not go down well with you. am also an engineer with a first degree in chemical engineering and currently doing masters here in australia. what am about saying is out of love and not as a hater. IF I WERE U I WILL COME TO OZ VIA PR (PERMANENT RESIDENCE) no need to come and waste your money especially when u plan on not being an academic. it will be better to enter and come do a six months internship to have australian work experience before starting to look for work than to come here all in an effort to get post work study after spending thousands of dollars with no access to scholarships like our brothers and sisters in the united states. if u have plenty money or on scholarship its a different case entirely. as for me i never looked at the PR critically until i was over invested in the whole student visa parade. Dont get it wrong coming to do Masters here is noble but i am asking you to do your COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS. truth is after school and ur post work study big ass employers still want u to have PR before they employ u. i have been here three months and 10 days now. in this time i have started my PR waka thanks to all the info i got from the lengends on this forum Bosslady et al. i decided to be proactive and have gone to several recruiters like chandler macloed, Hays and spoken to several other recruitment advisors in this firms. my general strategy was to inform them about my circumstance and ask them for advice on how to integrate myself into the industry after my program. BROS i cant begin to speak the english that i heard. plenty advice "Reasonable and unreasonable" the bottom line was I NEEDED PR ASAP. i have met other nigerians who came here with PR and working professional jobs with only BSC. if i get hold of that PR today all this acada will turn distant learning at my convenience or part time. MORAL OF MY STORY.... PR without work experience is better than masters without paper... so just take your time and come via PR. but if u are not patient enough you can still come ooooh its still waaaaaaay better than being in naija with all this drama and all. just be prepared to work your ass off to foot your bills if you dont have enough support from home.

God bless.

I need your help or advice. My junior brother graduated last year (Bsc Public admin.). Pls what type of visa do you think he can apply for.

iblaw:


If you have a tourist visa and at the POE you mention anything like staying with brother, sister, uncle etc before you know whats happening you will find yourself in a place called "MMIA".

That is not true. If you mentioned it in your application that you have family or friends in UK. You can choose to stay with them. I was in Scotland 2013, I stayed with a friend for 36 days. Also I was in London (Milton Keynes) last year November for 12 days. I told the officer at POE that I will be staying with a family.
But if you failed to disclose that you have family or friends then you have to book hotel to cover duration of your stay.

Assembled in Nigeria. Anyway good job.

I 'be got some pounds to sell, about 370 pounds.Just came back from the UK and I've got some unspent pounds.I bought them at the black market some three weeks ago when travelling and will be willing to sell. You may reply this message if you are interested and you live in lagos

Go and sell it at black market you don't need to advertise it, at least for security reasons

prayerrain:
hello all.

please im travelling to uk for the first time as a tourist and i dont know anyone in the uk.
but my cousin wants me to help him give his fiance two packs of soap .... which i will buy myself ( i cant collect any good from anyone with what i have heard so far on the internet).
My plight is will they check my luggage to see whats in my luggage.
thank you

You can travel with soap but make sure you buy it yourself. If you claimed in your application that you don't know anyone in UK, make sure you stick to that in case they ask you questions at point of entry.

Scam

By Yinka Odumakin

“Yakubu is 25 but a Nigerian 25”—Everton Manager, David Moyes in 2008.

“I don’t see Nigerian football getting out of the quagmire, the problem it is in, today, is because corruption is getting deeper and deeper. From time to time we get flashes where we do well in some competitions with overage players and we celebrate.
That was one of the issues I looked at; we can’t keep using overage players. We used over-age players for junior championships, I know that. Why not say it? It’s the truth. We always cheat. It’s a fact. When you cheat, you deprive the young stars that are supposed to play in these competitions their rights.”— NFA Chairman, Anthony Kojo Williams, in 2000.

JULIUS Agwu is one of my favourite comedians in Nigeria .I love his feminine voice,the crispness of his jokes as well as his delivery. Anytime I am boarding a flight and I call my wife,I usually say “abodu ala o”.I picked that from Julius.He cracked the joke about a flight attendant going around the lounge to announce an aircraft boarding because the public address system was not working during the renovations of the Enugu airport .

The Igbo lady was saying: “A Lagos abodu ala o” There was a passenger billed to fly that plane who did not understand a word in Igbo and therefore sat put while other passengers went to join the queue. About an hour later he went to the A… counter and asked why they had yet to make a boarding call only to be told that the plane had since departed “I went round shouting abodu ala” came from the flight attendant as if every passenger must understand her native tongue.

But his joke that is relevant to what I am discussing today is the one where he talked about some Nigerian team training for an age-grade competition near his house and how he went to one of the players to ask for his age and the response he got was: “Our coach has not given us our age”.

We have just “conquered” the world again in Chile and the drums are rolling in celebration of our lack of character and integrity as a people. Our infinite capacity to conspire in falsehood and pretend that all is well when the reverse is the case is once more being demonstrated even when we don’t blink in reciting our

NATIONAL PLEDGE:

“I pledge to Nigeria my country To be faithful,loyal and HONEST”

We say these and all the other lines(read LIES) even when no one believes in them. We have mastered the art of saying something and doing another because the very foundation of our country is a concrete of lies. Every action we take is built on falsehood because we just can’t do it right. Cheating our ways to corner undeserved advantages has become a national culture because we have not been able to construct a national vision.

After 55 years we still cannot count ourselves because an accurate census would minimise our ability to cheat. Our examinations have become a farce as parents even buy questions for their wards and pay for admissions. We beat traffic rules if there is nobody in sight to enforce them.Our politicians forge certificates to contest elections. Our vote counts conflict with actual vote cast. Judges take bribes to pervert Justice. Priests and Imams negate moral values. The “how “ no longer matter to us and yet we pray that our country should succeed .

We can occasionally have some fake success but not good success because we break all the rules of success as natural cheats. We deploy kids to vote in elections where adults should participate when we want to cheat internally and assemble adults to go and compete with kids globally when we want to cheat internationally. This is why we are celebrating 22 men who went to an unequal competition with only whispers about the actual ages of our boys.

Physical appearance
Mere physical appearances of our boys should tell any honest person that the suspicion about true ages of some Nigerian footballers which made FIFA to ban the country from all international fixtures for two years after finding that the birth dates of three of our players in the 1988 Olympics were different from ones used by the same players in previous tournaments is still very much with us.

Nigeria has over the years paraded promising “ youngsters” who mysteriously failed to fulfill their potential in the senior teams. Phillip Osondu was the best player at the 1987 Under-17 World Cup, after which he was signed on by Anderlecht, only to drift out of the game and into janitorial work after questions were raised about his real age. Femi Opabunmi shone brilliantly when Nigeria played in the finals of the Under-17 competition in 2001 and was officially the third youngest player in the senior team when he featured in the 0-0 game with England during the 2002 World Cup. But by 2005 he had expired doing only part-time soccer in some unrated team in lower rungs of the French league.

Adokiye Amiesimaka questioned the inclusion of Golden Eaglets captain Fortune Chukwudi during the 2009 Under 17 championship . Amiesimaka in an unusual candor bared his mind after Nigeria’s opening 3-3 draw with Germany at the Abuja National Stadium on October 24. “In the 2002/2003 season, I was chairman of Sharks Football Club of Port Harcourt. I decided to have a feeder team of fresh school leavers not older than 20 years.

One of my key players then is the current captain of our so-called Under-17 Golden Eaglets. By his own admission at that time, that is seven years ago, he was 18 years old…If we are not utterly irresponsible, how can he be eligible for this tournament when he is not less than 25 years old now?” Amiesimaka wrote in the Punch newspaper. Chukwudi played till the Eaglets final match and fizzled out thereafter. But since corruption is official in Nigeria,there was no whimper from our officials .
I read on The Cable in June this year of how Taye Taiwo’s twin sister allegedly celebrated her 39th birthday the day Taiwo was doing his own 27th.There was also the story of Samson Siasia cutting the cake of his 30th wedding anniversary at the age of 47!

About the most hilarious was that of Dele Ajiboye who exposed the lie over his age when he featured in the Under-17 tournament in 2007″.In the chat(with Soccer Star) the Golden Eaglets gold medal-winning goalkeeper in the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2007 inadvertently revealed he was older than he claimed eight years earlier. When asked about his role model as a professional goalkeeper, the Kwara United keeper revealed the person without much fuss. “I have many role models.

Anyone I learn from is my role model,” he said. “I could remember when I was still a young boy, I do watch Peter Rufai and I learnt a lot from him.” Ajiboye is 25 now and 17 in 2007, but we doubt he was referring to the Peter Rufai of 1998 World Cup. Nobody learnt anything fruitful and meaningful from Rufai of 1998. Even Ajiboye at age eight couldn’t have learnt anything worthy from the fumbling Dodo Mayana except, of course, how to make cheap goals look spectacular. Then, we are assuming Ajiboye was referring to the Rufai of 1994 Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup. But in 1994, Ajiboye was four!”
James Spencer in an article traced age fraud in the Premier League to African players: “Age fraud came to prominence in the Premier League from the mid-1990s onwards, as clubs began looking more and more at emerging African players. Several former Premier League players from Nigeria alone have been suspected of such misrepresentation.

Nwankwo Kanu is a legend of African football and became a cult hero in England playing for clubs like Arsenal and Portsmouth. The tall forward won the Champions League with Ajax in 1995, but was always suspected to be as much as nine years older than his stated age. Speaking in 2010, Harry Redknapp jokingly exaggerated that Kanu was 49, though given how he described ever increasing ailments and the need for treatment, there seemed to be a shred of authenticity to his words.

Former Newcastle United striker Obafemi Martins was also at the centre of an age row. The player had spectacularly burst onto the scene with Inter Milan as a youngster, but failed to make the most of his talent, suggesting he could already have been much older than stated. In 2005, while Martins was still in Italy, the Nigerian Football Federation claimed he was actually born in 1978, though his player registration stated it was 1984.

National failure
Similar stories also exist for both Jay-Jay Okocha and Taribo West who plied their trade in the Premier League for Bolton Wanderers and Derby County, respectively.

Throughout his career, Okocha was rumoured to be 10 years older than his official age. Following his departure from Derby in 2001, West allegedly told Partizan Belgrade that he was only 28, though given the state of his body the club had strong suspicions that he was 40.

It may not occur to us that our national failure is the sum total of all these little acts of dishonesty .I recall a Dutch-journalist friend of mine who I was driving along the Airport Road in 1998 and saw a fellow peeing on the road. He looked at the guy and said to me: “If that man cannot see anything wrong urinating on the roadside,he would do other 1000 things that are not right and would not see nothing wrong”.

We shall engage in this hollow rituals of celebrating our “victory” but we know in the inner recesses of our minds that is all a fluke because we didn’t do it right. Scoundrels posing as patriots would even abuse this writer for writing the truth. That majority is wrong should not desist the minority that is right from saying it as it is.

The truth must be told even if heavens fall: It is only righteousness that exalts a nation.
