I really hope this is some joke. Otherwise, we are back to the stone age.

You are the ignorant one here. CAF upgraded the competition to U23 AFCON, no longer 'Championship'.

Hahaha, Nametalkam you no go kill me, kikikikikikiiiiiiii

Refreshing, very refreshing. Makes me begin to have some hope in Nigeria again. Even better than the shoddy stuff with Pistorius in SA.

hmmm. ignorance has won again...

what a country!

Truly disturbing. I will follow up this story, the innocent corps member should be freed. Nothing, however can be as disturbing as most of the comments and some reckless posts I usually find here. With the possible exception of angesco, people just write anything that strikes their distorted fancy; the reason I have increasingly spent less and less time here.

Thumbs up for an informed comment. Still her remarks remain very unfortunate.

'Racism'? Did I read right? Hmmmmm. Can we just offer you and others here that actually responded to your 'racism' accusation to go back to primary school and be better tutored. For you never meant anything of that sort. You probably had in mind tribalism, religious and ethnic bigotry and stuff like that. But you introduced a term that is almost completely foreign to Nigeria. You and your respondents simply have no idea what racism means. Real trouble for our country.

Now, you have got yourself a real fan on this site.

Fabulous. Nigeria will rise from the ashes.

Signs we can still make it as a great nation of great people.

Ask our politicians the pertinent questions. No fighting force can fight an enemy within.

We gather that, the WAEC Head of National Office, Mr Charles Eguridu on Thursday announced the results of this year's Nov/Dec examination results in Lagos.

Additional information later.

David and Tobias, you got to take things easy. I know you have unlimited opportunity to send in comments here, but be careful, a lot of people are reading this stuff; you never know! David I've counseled that you watch your use of English. For example, are you sure you know the meaning of the words 'race', 'ethnic group' and 'tribe'? Plus both of you are not making much sense even in content.

Pa Ladipo and Martins, finally I feel a bit relieved. This is beginning to look like the kind of conversations I would rather have on this site. But I remain troubled that most times we think too highly of our so-called tribes and ethnic groups. Martins, I clearly understand your anger; it is called the problem of induction. Because certain events in the past produced certain effects in the past, so we have to think that similar events in the future will produce the same kind of effects as in the past. (A person says he is not a thief, but anytime he passes by, something gets missing). But if you think very deeply about it, induction is not always true. A man's involvement may all be circumstantial. Yet, I'm not defending Pa Awo, for the man who coincidences incriminate still has to answer some tough questions. However, even if you find that people from a particular part of the country or the world in general seem to behave in a particular way (to be sure, in many cases people form opinions about others based mostly on hearsay), you should not conclude everyone from there will behave in that way. Plus in today's Nigeria, we mix up a lot so much so that I do not see that we can identify anybody as quintessentially  Efik, Ibibio, Igala Igbo, Ijaw, Hausa, Tiv, Urhobo or Youruba. We may not know it, but times have changed, so seeing yourself as an Igboman or Yorubaman or as belonging to a particular ethnic group is a bad habit we should by now have shed. I maintain that almost all our past and present leaders have cheated and are still cheating us and they are the ones we should begin to hold accountable. The Civil War, like all wars in human history was avoidable. I have read almost everything on that war and I am persuaded that all, and I maintain, all the calamities could have been avoided with more purposeful leadership. Please pay particular attention to the very fact that even before the coup, the elected leadership had all but collapsed. If we want a better Nigeria, we must change our thinking and begin to shop for credible leadership regardless of geo-ethnic and religious leanings....

Hmmmmm. David, check yourself. Are you not missing something here?

Please read my earlier comment and mend your ways and language. Read your comments above more carefully, and ask yourself, its that how you would want to be remembered? Run a grammar check alone and you will realize it wasn't worth it. Try to make our country great and it begins from taking your studies more seriously.

I earnestly want to believe that neither of you, none of you on this cite, actually mean all these invectives that keep flying from all angles given the slightest provocation. For I am very sure that many of you are either graduates or undergrads. So, how could your comments be so devoid of civility and maturity? How could you be so bigoted in everything one can be bigoted about (ethnic group, religion, culture and so on)? Where is all this hatred oozing out from; to the point that even your use of English is constantly thwarted by your inordinate anger? Angry with who? Fellow poor and hapless Nigerian? Exactly what our real enemies (the political class) would pray for. Wake up Nigerian youths!

About 37 members of the House of Representatives elected on the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) platform have decamped to the major opposition party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Recall that earlier this month, some 22 members of the PDP also defected to the APC, despite an attempt by the PDP National Chairman, Bamanga Tukur, to stop the move.

The decampment of the 37 reps was announced during the Plenary session of the House today.

Initial reports from Channels Television. You can read more at
