a2personal2013: The issue of terrorism has been on an exponential increase recently and everyone would agree that the inaction of Muslims worldwide has also been a contributory factor. I am surprise to see the huge and unending list of Muslim faithfuls coming out to criticize Mr Trump. If only 50% of these people can come out openly to criticize ISIS and other terrorist group affiliated with the Muslim religion, the number of their recruits would have tremendously suffered a downward plunge !
I think the bulk of the game lies in their own hands. Muslims should be very open in their criticism of these Monsters and terrorists who base their ideologies on Islam. We must not forget that most people do not see them as terrorist but as people who believe strongly in the Koran. From ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Al Shabaab, Boko Haram to name just a few, all seem to believe on ideology that originates from the religion.
Its not enough to attack Mr Trump. Its about time the Muslims dissociate themselves from these nefarious groups. Muslims have been too proactive in this fight against terrorism. They must amplify their strength and voice not just to attack Mr Trump but to speak against this common enemy of the innocent citizens of the world. their silence is another form of approval. u know dem if e dey pain dem they will be on the street crying like women.

espionagesavvy: Dear Cynthia I caught my husband of five years sniffing the panties of my 15 years niece. I don't know if I should confront him or let the issue lie. I also think he bought my niece a new blackberry phone because the day I insisted on making my niece tell me where she got the phone, he became too overprotective of her and we almost fought over the issue.
My niece recently lost her father, making my sister a widow who let go of her children to stay with her relatives, that is how my niece came to stay with me, On the 26th of November 2015, I saw him at the backyard next to the heap of clothes my niece brought out to wash, he picked up a pant, my niece's pant and sniffed it, I almost screamed where I was. Also I keep noticing the look they exchange, very flirtatious.
Lastly my niece is acting like she is his wife, she dishes his food even before the children's food, doesn't knock before opening the door of our bedroom, and the most disturbing is, she asks my husband where he is going when he wants to go out as if she is his wife, my husband is 37 and this girl is 15, I suggested to my husband that we send her off to a boarding school, he rejected the idea and even got angry with me saying it will affect the girl psychologically, as if I want to dump her in a boarding house and run away. I want to confront my husband but I have no evidence, and for my niece I respect my eldest sister so much that I don't know what to do, I feel like an outsider in my own home.
P.S. My husband is a banker and also a pastor at our church.
I sincerely need your advice. Thank you.

Sports / Re: Making NPFL A World Class League; A Masterplan (1) by vodkat: 9:57pm On Nov 28, 2015 |
A football economy
It is not entirely clear what the total size of the Premier League economy is, but its income tax and national insurance contribution alone is thought to be worth more than £1.3 billion per year to the British government.
Some of the revenues flowing into the game come from places like Abu Dhabi (Sheikh Mansour has spent upwards of £1 billion on Manchester City) and Russia (Roman Abramovich may have spent a similar amount on Chelsea) – important injections into the British economy over the 22 years since the Premier League’s inception.
Yet it is television that has had the most profound effect. Lightning-fast growth has seen domestic broadcast revenues grow from £633,000 per game, when the first deal with BSkyB was struck back in 1992, to £6.53m today.
On top of this, overseas broadcasting rights bring in vast revenues too. For instance, in 2013, NBC in the United States paid US$250m for the right to show Premier League games for three years.
As a result, the league is now broadcast in 212 countries around the world, with a cumulative audience of almost 5 billion people per season. This means that around 70% of the total population of the world’s televised sport market watches Premier League games, while nearly one third of all Premier League viewers are now thought to be in Asia.
Each live Premier League game can have a global audience of more than 12m people, which greatly exceeds viewership of Italy’s Serie A (4.5m), Spain’s La Liga (2.2m), and Germany’s Bundesliga (2m). This popularity is reflected in the sums paid for domestic television contracts: the Premier League’s £3 billion again dwarfing the Serie A (£721m), La Liga (£511m) and Bundesliga (£417.4m) deals.
For Premier League clubs, the financial health of the league has brought a revenue windfall. For example, in the 2013/2014 season, champions Manchester City received payments totalling nearly £98m from the league. Even Cardiff City, who finished the season in last place and were featured on TV the joint-fewest times, said goodbye to top-flight football with almost £64m.
But money received directly from the league only makes up one portion of a club’s income. Global exposure has meant a commercial bonanza and there are now four Premier League clubs in the top ten of Deloitte’s global football money league. This is compared with two from Spain, two from Italy and one each from Germany and France. Forbes ranks Manchester United the third most valuable sports team in the world, at $2.81 billion, just ahead of the New York Yankees.
Cashing in
Inevitably, players who make their way into the Premier League benefit too. Salaries have spiralled upwards to the point where even mediocre players at middling teams are earning several million pounds a year. Last season the likes of Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie, Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero all reportedly earned more than £200,000 each week.
Such salaries buy a lot of sports cars and fancy meals in Merseyside and Manchester, important injections into the local economies of the towns and cities where Premier League clubs are located.
Yet it is not just the Premier League, its clubs and their players who benefit. In 2012, Visit Britain claimed that around 900,000 tourists had attended a football game during visits to Britain in the previous year, 40% of them coming simply to watch football. While here, it is estimated that the football tourists spent £706m, or the equivalent of £785 per fan – which is £200 more than an average visitor to Britain normally spends.
This is not just a national-level phenomenon either, it has a tangible impact upon the towns and cities where Premier League clubs are located. Football contributes upwards of £330 million to the economy of Greater Manchester every year and the city’s two major clubs are thought to have an equivalent advertising value of £100m a year.
And there is a societal benefit too; the Premier League has invested £157m into community activities such as its Creating Chances initiative that works with hospitals, charities and other cultural organisations.
By any standards, surely the Premier League is a roaring success?
The flipside
The mind-boggling sums of money would tend to suggest so. But the league is criticised and derided by critics such as the Guardian’s David Conn and the Sporting Intelligence website for perpetuating greed, sanitising a once-proud social institution, destroying the heart and soul of English football, and creating a football elite that has excluded and alienated too many people.
While the world marvels at the globally televised spectacle the Premier League has become, critics refer to the “Prune Juice Effect”: as the TV money flows in, so it flows out again, most notably on transfer fees and salaries. While the likes of van Persie and Aguero no doubt make some economic contribution to their local area the lasting benefits are questionable. Just how much money leaks out of the UK to other countries is a serious question; after all, people who earn millions tend to have very good accountants.
Former Chelsea and Netherlands player Winston Bogarde still serves as the poster boy for Premier League waste and excess. Reputedly paid £2m a season by the London club, he played just nine times in four years with the Blues and quickly disappeared back to the Netherlands at the end of his contract.
Premier League prune juice Back in 2000, some commentators warned that “wage inflation threatened the future of football”, yet salaries have still continued to rise. When the Premier League began in 1992, the average weekly salary of a player in England was £1,755. By the time Bogarde signed for Chelsea in 2000, this figure had risen to £11,184. Now, the average Premier League salary is £31,000 per week.
Indeed, wages for the league as a whole hit £1.78 billion last season. Worryingly, wages also rose above 70% of club turnover for the first time.
Trickling down?
This level of expenditure has not only fuelled wage and transfer inflation in English football’s top-flight but also further down the country’s league structure. This trickle-down effect has caused severe problems for many of English football’s clubs. Indeed, work carried out by John Beech shows there have been 168 club “insolvency events” since the league was founded in 1992. If the Premier League is the pinnacle of English football, then there is a very long, unstable and precariously positioned tail.
It is also bitterly ironic that, while Wayne Rooney pulls in £250k per week, Citizens UK has identified that it would take a cleaner 13 years to earn that amount. The attitude of pampering the players and the boardroom and squeezing the rest extends right down even to the internship programmes some clubs have been accused of abusing. In one case, a club advertised a year-long, full-time post – no salary, no expenses, long and unsociable hours, with a need for the successful candidate to use their own car for work purposes.
Priced out
Broadcast revenues may be flooding in, but fans of the Premier League continue to suffer. Ahead of the new season, some clubs have dramatically increased ticket prices. Newly-promoted Queens Park Rangers and Burnley have increased the price of their highest-priced season tickets by 38% and 37% respectively; the cheapest Arsenal season ticket is now £1020.
Overall, ticket prices are up almost 7% this season. This almost keeps track with the 8% increase in player salaries, but is far above the average 2.5% pay rise for UK workers.
So the game is less affordable than ever, and Premier League grounds are increasingly gentrified and greying. Football at the highest level is no longer a spectator sport for the young working classes, and the game is losing touch with its roots.
Even TV isn’t the cheap option it once was. To watch live Premier League matches at home, fans must pay at least £40 per month (or £460 per year). This isn’t just bad for those who can’t afford it, or who chose to put their money elsewhere – it is bad for all of us.
The strong league comes at a cost to the national team too. In 1992, Premier League starting line ups featured just 11 foreigners. Now, they make up 70% of the players. The lack of opportunities for local players has a knock-on effect: following England World Cup debacle, the team has fallen to 20th place in FIFA’s rankings, the lowest position in almost two decades.
So, what’s the Premier League worth? In the same way as consumers and critics might struggle to determine an appropriate measure of value for Marmite, so too will many people struggle to decide whether the league is actually worth it or not.
As you look around when you are next at a Premier League game, the millionaires in front of you and the lesser mortals sat next to you have helped make the league a commercial and global phenomenon. The problem is, those on the field may well be spending their cash in Bogota and Brasilia rather than Birmingham and Bristol. While those sat behind you may be really struggling to justify how much they pay to continue being fans. 2 Likes |

crownprince102: The 2014 Nigeria Professional Football League season has come to a close with Enyimba crowned the champion for the record 7th time. A lot was seen in the just concluded season, reasonable increase number of away win, fair officiating, fabulous goals, somewhat peaceful spectators, broken records and a lot of wonderful display. Going by what was seen this season in the NPFL, you tend to discover the league has everything it takes to become a world class if the right things are put in place. Having been a keen follower of the NPFL for some period of time and someone who is seriously interested in the growth of Nigerian football, I‘ve sat down closely to look inward into the league and some developed ones around the world for comparison and at the end, I‘ve brought out a “childish” master plan or should I call it a blueprint of how the NPFL can be transformed into a world class league within the shortest possible time. This article will be in editions, parts, episodes or chapters whichever way you wish to take it, please bear with me. Let me also use this medium to congratulate league champion Enyimba, league cup winner Akwa United and the LMC for successful completion of the just concluded NPFL season. I also congratulate the new sport minister, Solomon Dalung for his appointment and I wish him best of luck in running the ministry.
Before I commence, let me briefly take you into the history of the league. The Nigerian football league was founded in 1972, 12 years after Nigeria gained independence from Britain, though the nation had been involved in football right before independence. Political instability and civil war were major factors the country don’t have a soccer league before 1972. The league started with 6 teams which include Mighty Jets of Jos, Rangers International of Enugu, Western Nigeria Development Company, Ibadan (now Shooting Stars S.C), Spartans of Owerri (now Heartland F.C) and Vipers of Benin (now Bendel Insurance F.C). It was rechristened “professional league” in 1990 with the goal to modernize and develop the game in the country and to make clubs self-sufficient. A decree at the time stipulate clubs should be run as a limited liability companies and governed by constituted board of directors, cultivate youth teams and own it own stadium within 5 years of registration. In order to assist club achieve this stated goals, all 56 professional clubs at the time were given 5 years tax moratorium on all income ranging from 1990 to 1995. This was aimed to aid them achieved those goals in the time interval given to them and to develop the league into a world class.
Browsing through the stated decree above, you and I tend to discover the league body present at the time was more than ready to build a professional and world class league. Today, 25 years after, we can all see the deplorable state of our league, no Nigerian club has a stadium of it own, privately owned club hardly exist in the league. The league has been faced with a lot crisis such as improper management, bad officiating, crowd trouble, even match fixing scandal after the 1990 innovation failed. The failure of clubs to meet the stipulated goals can also be blamed on political instability during the period, June 12 crisis precisely. Political instability can be said to be the major cause of the stunted growth in Nigerian football in the 90s. The league is manage today by the League Management Company (LMC), which came on board in 2012 due to the failure of the Nigerian Football League (NFL), the body managing the league before then. The LMC also has came up with a lot of innovative plan to build the league from the scrap, the body has introduced new innovations like the Wonder Goal Award, bonuses for away win, bonus for fans attendance and a lot of constructive plan for the league. The LMC have also secured a $34 million Television right deal with Super Sport and Title sponsorship with telecommunication giant, Glo. We must confess the LMC is working!
Though, the performance of the LMC has been fabulous and incredible, the development of the league under their watch seems quite slow, and going on this pace, it will take over a decade or two to build a good and sustainable soccer league which we are the rest of Africa can be proud of. A league that will be characterized with proper management, world class facilities, stable calendar, peaceful and passionate fans, adequate organisation, financial buoyancy and best quality soccer stars around the world. A league we can proudly call the best in Africa and on of the best in the world and no single individual on earth will doubt. A league the rest of Africa and the world would term “the African league”. Indeed, we can have one in our great nation. We are the giant of Africa and the nation with the largest economy on the continent, but, ladies and gentlemen, we all have a role to play, a major one indeed. Good People, Great Nation.
Today, the English Premier League is regarded by absolute majority of football fans around the world as the best league in the world due to it financial buoyancy and competitiveness, it is the most watched and most followed football league all over the world with broadcast in 212 countries to 643 million homes and a potential TV audience of 4.7 billion people, more than half of the population of the earth. The average stadium occupancy is 92% with an average attendance of 35,363, the second highest in any professional football league in the world behind the German Bundesliga. The Premier League is currently sponsored by Barclay bank in a deal worth £40 million a year and thus officially known as the Barclay Premier League. Sky sports and BT sports are the league TV partner with deals worth billions of pound yearly for both domestic and international right. The league gains billions of pounds annually on both local and international Television broadcast due to worldwide interest of football fans in the league. The premier league has also attracted a lot of foreign talents in Europe and around the world and it is the only soccer league today that has a team that has fielded starting line-up without a citizen of the country involve and a team that fielded 11 players of different nationalities in it starting line-up. All these achieve achievement didn’t came to be in a twinkle of an eye, it went through rigorous process with great commitment and belief. Do you know that the English football was once in shamble?
Despite significant success in European football during the 1970s and early 1980s, the late ‘80s marked a low point in English football. Their were a lot of crumbling stadia, poor facilities, hooliganism, and the worst, English clubs were banned from European competition for 5 years following the Heysel stadium disaster in 1985. The English football league was well behind the Italian Serie A and the Spanish La Liga in almost everything ranging from attendance, revenues, etc. Several top English player move abroad to find greener pasture, a rare case nowadays. It only took the English FA and the government of United Kingdom to put their heads together and find a solution to the challenges. A report on safety standard known as Taylor report which proposed expensive upgrades of stadiums, making them all-seater was published in January 1990. The British government led by “iron lady”, Margaret Thatcher issued a grant worth over £200 million for stadium renovation and upgrades. A new league was established which commenced in 1992 after several agreements was reached by clubs and the FA which was rechristened “Premier League”. Fans attendance started growing, broadcast and sponsorship revenue rose till it became what we have today as the best and most financially buoyant soccer league on earth.
In building a world class league in Nigeria, we have to follow the same trend in a different dimension. The first step needed to be taken is to order State government to relinquish powers of operating football clubs. This looks quite easy but seems to be one of the hardest steps we have to take. To make State government relinquish power is quite difficult, did you as why? Operating a football club is by far the easiest and most unquestionable way of embezzling funds by state government officials. Do you know that all NPFL clubs are operated with the least of 500 million naira per annum? Are you surprised? You wonder why players are owed wages and not even paid high wages. Government relinquishing powers to operate clubs will create avenue for private hands to come in and invest bountifully into the league. The question is how do we generate the interest of the private sector to invest in into the league? How do we make them feel investing in the league has more benefit than elsewhere. There is only one way in generating interest of private individuals to invest the football league; putting the right and necessary facilities in place. The aim of all private investors is to make reasonable amount profit or fulfilment of his interest. The LMC under capable hands needs to create enabling environment for private investors, both local and foreign, for them to invest in the league and achieve their interest. Creating a cordial relationship with them and aiding them in achieving their interest is vital for the growth and development of the league. As we move further, we will explain more on how to create influx of local and foreign investors.
To build a world class league in Nigeria, we have to follow the steps taking by the British Government in the early 90s, the League Management Company and the Nigerian Football Federation in collaboration with the National Sport Commission and the new sport minister should request for a grant worth at least $500 million from the federal government for stadia upgrades across the 36 states and the federal capital territory. The sum sounds amazingly crazy and incredibly outrageous, oh yes! I agree with you no one in government would be ready to offer such sum and see it perish mysteriously, not even at this time the country is encountering economic crisis. Did I mention earlier that today the British government generates over £3 billion pounds a year on taxes, football tourism, etc? They only invested £200 million pound 24 years ago and today it earns them huge revenue, good global picture and respect amidst nations. Do you know the Nigerian government can generate back this huge fund back in 10 years or less through taxes generated from clubs only, not considering the later increase in revenue? The mathematical and statistical analysis will be done as we progress, the societal benefit and communal gains will also be given a look. As I‘ve said earlier, this article will be in edition, parts or episode, just stay calm and wait for the next edition of this article. To my humble reader, thanks a lot.

which is better??

Terrorism is terrorism, be it from the West or the East. you dont now anything, 9/11 was a wahabist attempt to fight US for their invovement in gulf war 1. Gulf war 1 was caused when Iraq invaded Kuwati and Kuwati called US to help. So blame kuwati for the US invovemennt. No arab country was willing to fight Iraqand theUS went in and pushed Iraq back Do ur research and stop listening to propaganda Islamist now want apocalypse and like the saying goes pikin wey no want make him mama sleep himself no go sleep |

Mcmooney: Nigeria as a country is not known or recognised as either a muslim or christian state. Being a muslim or christian doesnt mean u know all or what you do or believe in is the right thing. We need to be objective and open to change at all times. Remember this religions you all are fighting for are imported to us, they were alien to us, but due to what the western nations intend to do africa, religion was seen as a means to capture the hearts of the people and get their solidarity. In the long run, we have taken the religion even deeper than what was first introduced to, we now know and practice the religion more than the people that introduced us to the new religion. Remember what Karl Marx said'Religion is the Opium of the Masses'. I rest my case. #Peace africa for africa and not as experimentation ground for arab or jew cultural expansion. We are over 255 tribes ,if ever body pushes there God down our throats like this middle easterns we would have evapourated long time ago. Now a muslim cannot talk to God unless he or she face mecca and some ppl just accept that till kingdom come |

Damilolly: See below two articles and a message that I felt prompted to share with you.
http://wazoow.com/headlines/confab-delegates-clash-religion The drama ensued when two Christian delegates representing Christian Leaders, Bishop of Kafanchan Diocese of Catholic Church, Joseph Bagobiri and Pastor Emmanuel Bosun (Ogun State), raised the issue which they described as unfair treatment of Christians and Christianity in the country.
This angered their Muslim counterparts, who opposed their submissions.
They had both submitted that the constitution of Nigeria was skewed in favour of Islam and Muslims with a call on delegates to ensure that the imbalance was corrected.
Bagobiri opened the debate on religion. He gave a detailed analysis of how the Nigerian constitution did not have any mention of Christianity or the church, but Islam was repeatedly mentioned.
He also argued that the adoption of a particular religion by states must be done away with, adding that in a country like Nigeria, neutrality was needed.
He said since Islamic courts had been created, it was only normal to extend the hands of fellowship to Christianity in order to create a fair state.
He called for the establishment of Ecclesiastical Courts to handle Christian-related disputes, like Sharia courts.
Bagobiri said funding should also be provided for the Christian courts, just like Sharia courts so that Christians could have a sense of belonging in their own country.
In his contribution, Bosun argued that the conference must address religious imbalance in the country, adding that the conference needed to address religion squarely before it destroys Nigerians.
He said, “In the 1999 Constitution, Shariah was mentioned 73 times, Grand Khadi 54 times, Islam 28 times , Muslims 10 times and there is no single mention of Christ, Christian, Christianity or church. Some mischievous elements are taking these lapses in the constitution to come to the ungodly decision that probably that the state is an Islamic state.
“So, what are Christians doing here 100 of our churches were burnt down, Christians are being killed. In fact, it has reached the stage of genocide. I will cite one example – In one denomination in Plateau State, the Women’s Fellowship as at 2001 had 500 registered widows and by 2008, they had 900 registered widows. By February 2014, they had 25,000 registered widows.”
But a former Governor of Kebbi State, Adamu Aliero, citing Order 9 rule 7 raised a point of order.
He said, “A delegate must confine his contribution to the subject under discussion and will not introduce matters irrelevant thereto. The speaker on the floor is bringing issues that are not related to Mr. President’s speech. I therefore want the Chairman to call him to order. He is bringing diversionary issues that are very sentimental.”
But the Deputy Chairman of the conference, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, said Bosun could not be ruled out of order since others had been allowed to speak. He said he he would only plead that delegates should mind their contributions so as not to offend the sensibilities of other people.
Bosun therefore continued saying, “There is the need for us to abide by what Mr. President said on pages 14 and 15 for this conference to take a closer look at the Constitution and make recommendations that would facilitate redressing every imbalance therein so that all the citizens in Nigeria can live peacefully and live in harmony.
“If we set Nigeria on fire for whatever reason, none of us would be able to live here. We Christians do not hate Muslims. We are prepared to live together in harmony. I live in the South-West where Christians and Muslims live together and there is peace. We want to see that peace all over Nigeria- in the North, South, East and West.”
In his contributions, a delegate from the South-West, Pastor Tunde Bakare, told delegates not to deviate from the principles set by President Goodluck Jonathan as doing so would only make the conference a jamboree.
He said, “Two earlier distinguished delegates have described the President’s speech as a guiding principle to this conference. Another one said a marshal plan. Permit to go into the speech itself and bring three issues in three minutes. The President himself made clear his expected outcome of this conference that as stated in Pg. 19 “…my expectation is that the outcome of this conference will be a positive turning point for our country’s development. We must seize this opportunity to cement the cleavages and fault lines that separate us. We must relaunch our country.’ If my expectation are different from his (Jonathan’s) then we are in a jamboree. We must approach these issues with no suspicion and antagonism. Therefore we should be open-minded and work to achieve what is best for Nigeria.”

The Wikipedia Page prior to being amended recently. http://darasimioshodi..co.uk/2014/07/abuja-declaration-1989-boko-harams.html Abuja Declaration (1989) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Abuja Declarion is the outcome of a conference of the African countries of the OIC in 1989 and launched by a communiqué of the Islam in Africa Organisation (IAO) founded during this conference. The Islam in Africa Organisation (IAO) is a Nigerian satuted Islamic organisation, an initiative of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC). Dr. Usman Muhamad Bugaje is the current Secretary-General of the IAO. The organisation was founded on 28 November 1989 in Abuja, Nigeria, with the goal to win the whole of Africa for Islam. The statutes and goals are ratified in 1991 and this marks her formal definitive founding. The founding-communiqué is also called the Abuja Declaration. Starting point for the conference is the fact that Africa is the only continent with an Islamic majority and therefore Africa should become completely Islamic. The plan contains a lot of points that are also common for Christian missionary organisations as relief and economic progression. A battleplan was composed to Islamise Africa with some less innocent points in that decision: "To ensure only Muslims are elected to all political posts of member nations". "To eradicate in all its forms and ramifications all non-Muslim religions in member nations (such religions shall include Christianity, Ahmadiyya and other tribal modes of worship unacceptable to Muslim)." (the word Christianity is underlined in the declaration) "To ensure the ultimate replacement of all western forms of legal and judicial systems with the sharia in all member nations before then next "Islam in Africa conference." "To ensure the appointment of only Muslims into strategic national and international posts of member nations." The execution of this strategy can be recognised in countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia and Sudan. In Nigeria more and more provinces choose for the Sharia leading to heavy protests of Christians, oft resulting in violence and bloodshed to both sides. In Sudan the government chose in 1983 for the Sharia, in 1991 sharpened with death punishment for apostasy from Islam. Funds: The government of Nigeria has donated 21 billion US-dollar conform an IAO-communiqué as donation to this "Islamic Development Fund". Organisation The IAO consists of four main organisations: the General Shura', the highest authority consisting of 43 members from all over Africa and the Diaspora. the Executive Comité. the Secretariat housed at Abuja, (Nigeria). the Necessary organs to the realisation of the goals.
