NIGERIA'S LIKELY OPPONENT IN WORLD CUP PLAY-OFFS

Nigeria are one of the five top seeds for next week’s draw for the final World Cup playoffs after they ranked in the top five African teams still in the competition. They have recorded 707 points and dropped to 36th place on the global ranking.

This is good news as they will avoid some dangerous oppositions for the final play-offs.

Cote d’Ivoire remain the top African team as they are the 18th best team in the world, while Ghana are second as they are rated 24th in the world.

Nigeria will play either of Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Ethiopia and Senegal.

We're secretly wishing to be drawn against either Burkina Faso or Ethiopia..... That is what we call "One-Leg-In".

UNDERGRADUATE ARRESTED FOR INGESTING LIQUID COCAINE PACKED INSIDE CONDOMS AT ENUGU

A 32-year-old undergraduate, Chizoba Nwabuwa, has been arrested by officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for ingesting 25 wraps of male condoms filled with cocaine.

OZEKHOME TELLS HIS STORY - WHICH WAY NAIJA?

The family of lawyer & human rights activist, Chief Mike Ozekhome(SAN), who was released just yesterday after more than 2 weeks in the den of kidnappers must be grateful to God.

There have been instances where victims were never found alive and yet life goes on.

 My worry however is how organised and sophisticated this crime has become. Recall that 4 Policemen lost their lives in active duty when they attempted to rescue the lawyer. He didn't comment on the ransom paid to secure his release. This obviously means that the identity of the kidnappers may not be known yet, hence, they might strike again.

The FG from all indications is constantly loosing this war against organised crime in the country. Efforts are really not enough as what we crave for is a free country, a sane one, devoid of bad elements, at least to the minimum.

The government is currently distracted with politicking at the expense of the oath of office which includes ensuring the safety of its citizens. 

IN GOD ONLY WE TRUST.

The war of words between former President Obasanjo and erstwhile EFCC boss Farida Waziri has intensified after the former accused her of being Ibori's agent.

Mrs. Farida Waziri, on Wednesday described as “blatant falsehood,” the claim by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo that she was recommended for the EFCC job by convicted former Delta State Governor, James Ibori.

NAMES OF THE NINE SACKED MINISTERS AND THEIR FORMER PORTFOLIOS

SACKED MINISTERS

President Jonathan relieved Nine ministers of their duties yesterday during the FEC meeting at Aso Rock. This man remains very unpredictable as the Ministers had no premonition of what befell them.

GEJ reportedly thanked the sacked ministers for their services to the nation and wished them well in their future endeavours. No one could affirm if this was politically motivated.

I wonder why he didn't LabaRAM Maku though.

The new phone follows the number- / letter-naming scheme set in place way back in twenty ‘o nine with the introduction of the 3GS and carried on with 2011′s 4S. As with those handsets, the new device’s name implies that this round is something of an iterative update to last year’s iPhone 5. 

HARD TIMES FOR BLACKBERRY AS IT LAYS OFF HALF OF ITS US TEAM

Blackberry continues its quest for survival as half of its sales team at the headquarters has been laid off.

Cantech Letter cites sources who say that the company’s consumer sales team is “gone” while its “enterprise [sales force] is gutted” too. The UK is said to be next in the line as it seeks further redundancies to slash costs.

BlackBerry confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that “a small number of employees were laid off,” but a spokesperson declined to provide a concrete figure. The Journal claims “several dozen” staff were axed.

Last month, the company announced plans to “explore strategic alternatives” – reports last week suggested the goal is to be sold by November.
