Former Eaglets coach Henry Nwosu has lauded the Golden Eaglets for their commitment and determination in the on-going FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeriaas he tipped them to beat Switzerland today.

LOTS have been said about the average female sexecutive. Amongst other things that she has bottom-owner …. that she knows how to twist a man round her little fingers – that she discards stale boy-friends as callously and with as little a remorse as you would have squashing a menacing cockroach. And most of these criticisms are borne out of envy because come to think of it, all women have a bottom-be it flat, rounded or inproportionate, but very few women have that ability to use what they have to get what they want.

I JUST finished reading The Law, The Lawyers & The Lawless’, a fascinating book by Dele Ogun, a solicitor based in the UK. In one of the chapters, he describes an encounter with the ‘masters of the universe.’ He was on tour of the stately home of George Washington, the founding president of America, with Donald Easum, a former US ambassador to Nigeria during the first reign of Olusegun Obasanjo.

THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader and the Iyasele of Esan land, Chief Tony Akahon Anenih, struck the right note as he addressed a rally of Edo people at the NTA pavilion, Benin City, to mark his party’s sensitization and unity rally.

THERE is nothing wrong in visioning. Good leaders often have a vision of how they intend to leave the country different from how they met it. But there is a catch here; visions have to be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound. I will leave you to conclude if our vision 20, 2020 conforms to some or all of the above.

THE chickens have finally come home to roost. After a seemingly business-as-usual legal tryout, the nation woke up to a reality of the unusual when Justice Olubunmi Oyewole of the Lagos High Court, an indicator of an incorruptible courage and rare gusto, convicted Chief Olabode Ibiyinka George, a chieftain of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and former chairman of the board of the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), and five other members of the board.

Welcome to your regular column. Last week, I told you that your root in the supernatural guarantees you God’s presence always. This week, I want to teach on how you can connect to the noiseless realm of the miraculous.

‘YOU have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shall not kill; and whosever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I (Jesus) say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.” (Mathew 5:21-22).

THE month of October may have come and gone but the memories will linger especially as the premier Nigerian indiginous church organisation, the God’s Kingdom Society made more inroads to parts of the world with its gospel that Jesus Christ was not born in December as many people would want us to believe.

HUNDREDS of supporters of Dr. Andy Uba, who converged at the Court of Appeal, Enugu, Friday, to hear the verdict on the governorship seat of Anambra State, left with great disappointment.

Now, which PDP state is performing in Nigeria . What can you copy from any of them? But, look at the only state that Action Congress is controlling. That is the only state performing.

Nigeria’s hope for the 2010 World cup in South African came alive  in a dramtic turn as it come from behind to beat the  Kenya team by 3-2 in Nairobi Kenya. In the 16 minute of the the Kenyan team, Harambee Stars, struck  their first goal through D.Oliech  while the Nigerian Super Eagles through Obafemi […]

It is sheer selfishness. So, for me, I would say that the issue of putting the militants in camps and paying them money without recourse to rapid socio-economic development of the affected areas is a clear case of pampering criminality. If government says it is granting them amnesty and rehabilitating them, rehabilitation is not about paying allowances.

Our presence on the streets and trouble spots (black spots) alone serves as deterrence to hoodlums and other trouble shooters. Our patrol teams penetrate motor parks, notable notorious nooks and crannies, estates and communities noted for restiveness.
