Nigerians full of praise for the super eagles

new word:
Keshi(noun) - a word used to describe a state of unusual ability to transform hopelessness into a sudden victory. 

example:
• sunday mba's keshiness won us the game against ivory coast.
• emenike is a superb striker - he possesses the keshi quality!

And After Elderson the son of
Echejile harkened to the voice and opened the flood gate of goals against the weak Malian Army, 

Keshi the leader of the troop knelt down in his heart and cried unto the heavens, saying Jehovah grant unto thy Army victory this day! And the Lord said unto Stephen, the son of Keshi, "I know thy works. I will grant you victory over thy adversary this day. Do as the spirit
says." 

And Stephen the Big Boss knew it was the voice of Yaweh! And he spoke unto Brown the son of Ideye, go into the goal mouth and await further instructions. And Brown obeyed the command and a through pass was laid across his path and he headed in nicely to the glory of God for Nigeria's second goal! 

And it came to pass that 10 idle
jegudugera gominas sitting in the VIP stand, were happy and they said let us boast the moral of the rampaging Eagles by donating a huge
chunk of shekels to them in order to boast their moral. And when they relayed the message
to Keshi, the Big Boss, he said unto the thieving Gominas; "Get behind me agents of Satan for I am in the spirit! And indeed Stephen the son of
Keshi was truly in the spirit and he received further directives from the spirit and passed same to Emmanuel the son of Emenike, saying "Go forth
and take the free kick." And
Emmanuel went forth and took the short which resulted into the 3rd goal for the Eagles! And there was great jubilations
across the length and breadth of
Nigeria, and the people were happy and they proclaimed, TRULY,

TRULY, GOD is a Nigerian!

Na cooperation make rice full pot..... They all tried.

All Progressive Congress (APC) Party: ANPP, CPC, ACN And APGA Finally Merged

ABUJA—THE country’s major opposition political parties, yesterday, resolved to merge into a new political party to be known as the All Progressives Congress, APC.

The four parties that came to the agreement as disclosed at a press conference in Abuja were the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, All Progressives Grand Alliance APGA and the All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP.

The APC’s emergence came a day after 10 governors from the parties met in Lagos on Tuesday and resolved to push through the merger.The only major opposition party left out of the alliance was Labour Party, LP which has one governor in the person of Gov Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State. Dr Mimiko steered his party to support the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the 2011 presidential election and was not expected to be supportive of the alliance.

Announcing the formation of the new party in Abuja, yesterday at a press briefing, Chief Tom Ikimi, Chairman of the ACN Merger Committee said the parties had resolved to uphold the principles of internal democracy, focus on serious issues of concern to the people to rid the country of corruption. Ikimi’s assertions were endorsed by representative of APGA, Senator Annie Okonkwo, former governor of Kano State, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau who was the Chairman, Merger Committee of ANPP and Garba Sadi, Chairman, Merger Committee for CPC.

The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, in his first reaction, yesterday, said the PDP was not in anyway threatened by the merger.

We need urgent radical change – Ikimi

The text read by the chairman of ACN Merger Committee, Chief Ikimi said: “At no time in our life has radical change become more urgent. And to meet the challenge of that change, we the following progressive political parties namely, ACN, ANPP, APGA and CPC have resolved to merge forthwith and become the All Progressives Congress and offer to our beleaguered people a recipe for peace and prosperity.

“We resolve to form a political party committed to the principles of internal democracy, focused on serious issues of concern to our people, determined to bring corruption and insecurity to an end, determined to grow our economy and create jobs in their millions through education, housing, agriculture, industrial growth etc, and stop the increasing mood of despair and hopelessness among our people.

“The resolution of these issues, the restoration of hope, the enthronement of true democratic values for peace, democracy and justice are those concerns which propel us. We believe that by these measures only shall we restore our dignity and position of pre-eminence in the committee of nations. This is our pledge,” the text stated.

He said that the decision would be immediately communicated to the appropriate authorities, including the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Ikimi said that the Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshionwhole was in full support of the ongoing process and that he could not attend the opposition governors meeting in Lagos because of travelling constraints.

On the effect of the name change on their members in the National Assembly, he said that the federal lawmakers were meeting on the issue, noting that the constitution allowed them to retain their seats so long as they did not defect to another party.

APC ‘ll guarantee Igbo Presidency —Annie Okonkwo

Senator Okonkwo told the Vanguard that the new mega party was the only party that would lead to the realization of Igbo presidency.

According to him the ruling PDP would most likely pick President Goodluck Jonathan as its presidential flag bearer in 2015, pointing out that with a candidate of Igbo extraction contesting on the banner of APC, there was the likelihood that the party would win.

On the allegation that the APGA National Chairman, Chief Victor Umeh was not part of the merger talks, Okonkwo said: “When all the governors of the opposition parties met, the APGA governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha who is the leader of the party said that the party participated fully and endorsed the merger. I came here on behalf of the leadership of the party to represent APGA, so anybody saying something contrary is on his own,” he said.

Count us out of merger – APGA faction

However, a faction of APGA, yesterday, denied any participation in the ongoing merger arrangement. National Secretary of the Mseilla Massalla-led faction of the party, Dr. Ifedi Okwenna, said in a statement that the issue of merger of political parties was a very serious matter that needed adequate consultation, adding that the party did not permit the Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha to be part of any merger of political parties. Okorocha was among 10 opposition parties’ governors, who rose from a meeting in Lagos and endorsed the merger moves on Tuesday.

It’s gender friendly party —Abike Dabiri-Erewa

Rep. Abike Dabiri-Erewa presently representing Ikorodu Federal Constituency on the platform of the ACN said that the APC would become the most gender friendly party in the country, adding that women were represented in all committees.

“We have every gender represented in the party here, we can still ask for more but I want to assure you that women here will ensure that Nigerian women get better representation.”

Merger not a threat to PDP – Tukur

Speaking to reporters yesterday on the merger after inspecting the new Secretariat of the PDP, which he said would be completed next January, Bamanga Tukur who described the marriage as better, stressed that the move would inspire the ruling party to action, adding that the PDP was like Lionel Messi in the contest.

Said Tukur on the merger: ‘’It is beautiful. The more the merrier. Let me tell you. There is no polling in the whole Nigeria where you do not have one member of PDP. PDP is the only party in the country that fields candidates in every polling booth.”

That shows the acceptance. It does not mean that we want to be a party and there is no opposition, in fact opposition is a charge to action.

“If they have the strength why do they come together? If you go for a contest you have the striker, you know Lionel Messi, PDP is Messi in the contest. They (oppositions) are not a threat at all, it is better, it will inspire PDP to action.

Fulani Funmakers Escape Lynching In Enugu After Their Monkey Swallows N200,000

Three persons suspected to be Fulani men who use monkeys to entertain people and collect money in the process, narrowly escaped being lynched in Enugu when a passer-by lost the sum of N200, 000 he just withdrew from bank.

Eyewitness told DailyPost that the victim’s money miraculously disappeared from his pocket when one of the monkeys touched him.

The three men who were carrying one monkey each were passing along the ever-busy Agbani Road, Enugu when they stopped in front of one of the new generation banks along the road where they entertained people with the monkeys doing acrobatic to the admiration of all.

However, DailyPost learnt that the entertainment turned sour, when a young man who just cashed N200, 000 noticed the sudden disappearance of his money as soon as the playing monkey touched him.

Immediately, the victim raised alarm, which attracted many people to the scene including some mobile policemen guarding the bank.

One of the monkeys was said to have vomited the money when the crowd gathered to lynch the monkey-wielding men and were even ready to set them ablaze but for the intervention of the policemen on duty at the bank.

Infuriated that the monkey vomited the money, the crowd went wild and threatened to kill the men who they accused of using their monkeys to steal money from people’s pockets when they gather to enjoy the fun from the monkeys.

When this reporter arrived at the scene, he saw crowd of people who had gathered to witness the strange incident. Shouting on top of his voice, one of them said: “We’ll kill them. These Fulanis are thieves. They have been using the monkeys to dispossess people of their monies. It is not only today, they have been doing it everywhere”.

A policeman at the scene, Mr. S.K.C Mba told DailyPost that they were waiting for re-enforcement from the Mobile Police 3 to take the three Fulani entertainers to their station so that the crowd would not lynch them.

Nicki Minaj Almost Arrested in Dubai for Hugging a Guy

Nicki Minaj discussed nearly getting arrested in Dubai for giving a police officer a hug, during a recent appearance on theJimmy Kimmel Live show.
“I went to Dubai. I almost got in so much trouble because the guys in Dubai are so cute. It’s not even funny. One of the rules [is] you can’t hug a man if you’re not married to the man. And so when we were leaving, there was this one guy that was so freaking cute, I was like, ‘Bye!’ because I just wanted to have this one last moment to…savor the moment with him…”
Minaj continued, “Literally, I didn’t know he was a cop. They don’t have a police [uniform]. It was like a private airport. They were just dressed in their regular garments. I went to give him a hug, and it was literally, I almost felt like time stopped in Dubai. Ifelt like everything froze. Every single person turned around in slow motion like, ‘Nooo!’”
Minaj concluded, “Everyone in my team thought I was going to be put in jail. It was the scariest thing. He kinda put his arms up a little bit and cracked a nervous smile, and I was just like, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry!’ and I just left.”
Damn. What do you think?

Shafay Thobani,8, youngest microsoft IT certificate prodigy

KARACHI: Shafay Thobani, an eight-year-old child has won the honour of being the world’s youngest Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist, Geo News reported.

Born on March 13, 2004, Shafay grew interested in computers ever since he was a baby.

On April 9, 2012, Shafay appeared in the Prometric test and secured 91 per cent marks, thus making him the world’s youngest Microsoft Certified Training Specialist (MCTS) at the age of eight years and 24 days.

The young man is certified professional in Microsoft Windows 7 Configuration and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2. Before appearing in the exam, he remained under training of Microsoft certified trainers for 13 months.

His trainer Faisal Durrani said it was a challenge for him to teach complicated concepts such as Domain Name System (DNS) and Internet Protocol (IP) address to a child as young as Shafay. “So we split the 40-hour course designed for grown-up IT specialists into 13 months for the child. We taught him by giving him easy examples in order to grasp the concepts. Teaching him for three to four hours everyday, we would also allow him breaks to let him be the normal kid that he is, swimming, playing football or rollerblading,” said Mr Durrani.

Speaking of the boy’s main areas of interest, Shafay’s father Dr. Shah Thobani said he liked network and communication programming. “He has already completed 65 per cent of Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization, too,” he added.

“Shafay was born in 2004, the same year Arfa was declared the world’s youngest Microsoft Certified Professional at the age of nine. Arfa was an inspiration for us and I hope that Shafay, too, would be a role model for more children to show their tremendous achievements,” Dr Thobani said.

Shafay said, “I am proud of myself and I will work for Pakistan in any way possible.”

Why we pulled out of CAN - Catholic Church

The Catholic Church yesterday warned that the emergence of a Northern president in the 2015 general election may not be the ultimate solution to the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria.

It said rather than seeing the violent activities of the sect as “a religious and northern agenda,” all Nigerians must join hands, irrespective of their religious and ethnic affiliations, to fight the menace.

The Administrator, Catholic Diocese of Abeokuta, Monsignor Christopher Ajala, who stated this at a press conference marking the 15th anniversary of the diocese in Abeokuta yesterday, spoke against the backdrop of last weekend’s attack on the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, by suspected Boko Haram members.

The cleric also warned that the insecurity ravaging some parts of the country may snowball into the Middle East crisis if not well handled.

Ajala observed that the election of a president of northern extraction in 2015, as being canvassed in some quarters, may not bring an end to the Boko Haram issue.

He said, “All of us should join hands to fight this evil. Book Haram is not just a religious affair, it’s political. People have been saying that. It is an international organization and well established and so, it cannot just be got rid off overnight.

“You mentioned that if a Northern president is elected that this will stop, I doubt it. It is very clear now that it’s not the northern leaders that are responsible. If an Emir could be attacked, the Sultan also could be attacked. So, it’s not just a northern leader leading us; that’s not the issue. This group has its own objectives and we should be united in fighting them. Northerners and southerners should be united in fighting this evil.”

The diocesan administrator averred that it had been difficult to dialogue with Boko Haram because its members are faceless.

He, however, urged the Federal Government not to relent in its efforts to exterminate the dreaded sect.

Speaking on why the Catholic Church suspended its activities in the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Monsignor Ajala said the Christian umbrella body was too close to government.

He alleged that the Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor-led CAN had derailed from the objectives of the body, adding that the Catholic Bishops Conference was not comfortable with the development, hence its decision to pull out.

His words: “The Catholic Church took their stand before the purchase or the aircraft was donated to him. But what the Catholic Bishops Conference is complaining about is about the way they are running the national CAN now that is not meeting the objectives and the goals of CAN and the forefathers of CAN.

“CAN is now being run as part of the government and we said no.

Because they (government) will dictate to us what to do and they will not take our advice seriously. The Catholic Church decided to withdraw from the activities of CAN at national level; we are still part of the state. We made our stand clear in November, last year, and by December, the man bought a jet. I don’t know how he got it but the president was there on that day the jet was delivered to him.

“So, what we are saying is that our religious leaders should be honest, upright and they should also be the conscience of this nation.

If you are bought, the masses of this country are finished. If you can use money to buy our religious leaders, then there is no hope for the common man. That is the Catholic Church’s stand. We are supposed to speak for the people to correct the wrongs in the society and assist every government to know the will of God for them and we still stand by that.”

Chelsea to sign Brooklyn Beckham after passing a trial

After news emerged that David Beckham's son Brooklyn has gone on trial at Chelsea, we unearthed this footage of Beckham Junior scoring his first ever goal at the home of the Blues' Mancunian rivals. Beckham senior was spotted at Chelsea's Cobham training ground watching his 13-year-old son in action in a low key game, apparently in order to show him what English football is like at that age level, but Brooklyn already has a goal at a major Premier League ground to his name.

Brooklyn's Chelsea trial will, however, come as a blow to the fans that greeted his lethal finish with cries of "Fergie, sign him up!"…

I warned Keshi say's TB Joshua

Unknown to soccer loving Nigerians, Coach Stephen Keshi was warned to ensure that the Super Eagles did not concede a last minute goal in their AFCON Group C match against Burkina Faso yesterday.

The Nigerian team, that scored a first half goal through Emmanuel Emenike were close to winning their opening match at South Africa 2013 Nations Cup, but lost focus and allowed the Burkinabes equalised barely 10 seconds to the end of the match at Mbombela Stadium.

Just as millions of soccer pundits have critisised the Eagles’ approach to the match, Keshi’s spiritual confidant, Prophet TB Joshua said he spoke to the coach to tighten up his team’s rear, especially in the second half.

The leader of Synagogue, Church of All Nations, who said the Eagles also disappointed him as a strong fan said: I called and warned Keshi to watch out for that dangerous move by the Burkina Faso strikers”.

And due to the fact that many people may not belief in his prediction, TB Joshua supported his claims by making a recorded copy of his conversation with Keshi available to P.M.NEWS.

In the conversation, Keshi urged the prophet to pray for his team, saying they did not want to concede any to against Burkina Faso.

In his response, Joshua, who advised Keshi to call him before the second half, stated: “You have to be careful and pray so that what the tragedy I saw does not happen to the Eagles. The horses of Burkina Faso do not get tired, and your defenders must not lose focus in the second half…”.

The Eagles, who fell like packs of cards in the encounter, also received hard knocks from former Nigerian internationals, Sunday Oliseh, Jonathan Akpoborie, Tijani Babangida and Rwanda Coach, Milutin Sredojevic.

Oliseh, a former skipper of the team, said yesterday’s draw was like a loss to the Eagles, “because they may regret the result as the competition progresses.”

Akpoborie, who earlier said the team cannot go far at the AFCON, castigated the strikers for not utilising their chances.

Babangida also lambasted the Keshi-led squad, saying they would blame themselves if the draw edge them out of the competition.

Rwanda coach, Sredojevic said he was disappointed in the Nigerian team, saying they lacked a winning mentality, concluding that Keshi is technically inept.

Meanwhile, Keshi has heaped praises on his players for the result against Burkina Faso. The ‘Big Boss’ declared that he is proud of his players despite their failure to hold on to their slender lead, which would have seen Nigeria assume top spot in the group.

“We are not going to let anything bring us down, trust me. I am very proud of the boys”.

Shakira,boyfriend Gerard Pique welcome's a baby boy

                                            

Shakira and her beau Gerard Piqué are brand new parents.

The Colombian-Lebanese pop singer, 35, and her soccer star boyfriend, 25, welcomed their baby boy in Spain on Tuesday. The tiny tot's name: Milan, which means "dear, loving and gracious in Slavic; in Ancient Roman, eager and laborious; and in Sanskrit, unification," according toShakira's website.

"We are happy to announce the birth of Milan Piqué Mebarak, son of Shakira Mebarak and Gerard Piqué, born January 22nd at 9:36pm, in Barcelona, Spain," said a statement posted Tuesday. "Just like his father, baby Milan became a member of FC Barcelona at birth."

Earlier in the day she had tweeted, "I'd like to ask you all to accompany me in your prayers on this very important day of my life. Shak." The "Loca" singer also wrote the message in Spanish.

Milan weighed in at 6 pounds, 6 ounces, and he and Shakira are in "excellent health."

In late December, Piqué facetiously posted on Twitter that their son had been born, partaking in Spain's Dia de los Inocentes, which is similar to the American April Fool's Day.

The couple has been dating for two years and announced the pregnancy last September. UNICEFGoodwill Ambassador Shakira and Piqué posed semi-nude together last week to promote their baby shower, which benefited UNICEF.

Shakira previously dated Antonio de la Rúa fo 11 years but split from her business partner in August 2010. 

Young officer from NAF builds a drone

                                       

KADUNA — Young officers from Nigerian Air Force School of Engineers, Aircraft Design Centre, Kaduna, yesterday, dazzled the Minister of Science and Technology, Prof. Ita Okon Bassey-Ewa when they displayed to him an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, UAV, referred to as drone, which could fly non-stop for about four hours at 3000 feet.

The drone was conceptualised, designed and built by them in Kaduna under the direct supervision of the Provost of the Nigerian Air Force, NAF, Institute of Technology, Prof. Emmanuel Ezugwu.

According to officials of the institute, the drone’s empenage was about three metres while the wing span was about half a metre.

                                            

The four officers, all Flight Lieutenants, said it was a three-year effort in collaboration with Cranfield University of United Kingdom with funds from the Federal Government.

The officers who asked that all the credit for break through be given to the Commandant of the school and Chief of Air Staff pleaded that their names be not mentioned in the press.

The school had earlier displayed a conceptualised model of an ab-initio training fighter aircraft known as Farawa (meaning “the beginning” in Hausa) for the Air Force just as it was trying to design a Nigerian-made Air Beattle, AB-18, for the Air Force.

The four officers had bagged Masters degrees in various fields related to avionics from Cranfield University, after their first degrees from the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna.

They told Vanguard: “We designed and built this UAV based on the pressing needs of our country today. The vehicle can be used in pipeline monitoring, border patrol, mapping and disaster monitoring. Other areas of use include  maritime patrol, aerial surveillance and pest monitoring.

“The vehicle can fly at 3000 feet, and remain airborne for four hours using petrol for now. The first one we built is called Amebo 1. The second one is Amebo 2 and is an improvement over the first.

                                                 
“If we keep getting the right support as we are getting now, we will accomplish our mission for the country.”

In fact in the next five years, we may start building our own light aircraft for training new pilots”, the officers said.

The Minister who was obviously amazed at the development was in Kaduna attending the National Stakeholders’ Workshop/Exhibition on National System of Innovation, NSI, during which several inventions by Nigerians were exhibited.

Earlier in his opening remarks at ceremony the Minister had said, “as demonstration of the drive towards promoting innovations the Ministry is calling for entries for the maiden, ‘’Best

Innovation/Invention Award.’’

The award which was open to individuals, institutions and corporate bodies  has a grand prize of N1 million.
