FOOTBALL: Van Persie Comes Back To Haunt Arsenal As City, Spurs Slump

Robin van Persie turned on his old club by scoring the only goal of the game as champions Manchester United beat Premier League leaders Arsenal 1-0 at Old Trafford on Sunday to revive their title challenge.
The Dutchman, who joined United in a £24 million ($38 million) move in August last year after failing to be convinced about the trophy ambitions of Arsenal, who last won a major piece of silverware in 2005, struck in the 27th minute.

Van Persie got the run on

Don't Give Up On Nigeria - Okim

Very true. Do not quit on Nigeria, do not give up on Nigeria, Do not abandon Nigeria, rather protect Nigeria, fight for Nigeria, defend Nigeria, defend her principles. Even when you are dealt blows because of Nigeria, accept it and don't quit on Nigeria. There were times were you couldn't speak your mind without being imprisoned and killed, there were times were you couldn't move around freely without being lynched, there were times when only the rich could afford education but today things are different. Nobody will kill you for speaking your mind even if it is against the government, nobody will sanction you even if you object the policies of the government, everybody now has a right to education and can afford the basic education. Yes, we may not be 100% okay, yes we may be imperfect, but so is every other country in the world. The fact that there is an iota of development in Nigeria, it means there is hope for Nigeria.
Therefore Accept Nigeria as your country, believe in Nigeria and above all Change Nigeria. The Lord God will see Nigeria through. Keep hope alive.

Nora Kamsani originally shared to Top Quotes (Quotes):

 

When the going gets tough and you think like quitting, always go back to your WHY.

'LIKE' if you're ready to keep going. 'SHaRE' if you want to motivate someone today : ))

NIGERIA: Not Worst In The World

It's really baffling, and very disgruntling to know that when we are talking about keeping hope alive in Nigeria, and don't give up on Nigeria, some unpatriotic Nigerians try to refute the fact that Nigeria can rise again. We all are aware of the situation in Nigeria, and believe us when we say Nigeria is not the worst country in the world. There are countries were feeding is a problem for virtually every citizen of that nation like Djibouti, Somalia, Liberia,; there are countries were you dare not say anything against the government or you'll be sanctioned seriously like North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, there are countries were you can't even move freely because

Another eye witness who recounted her ordeal said to our News men that "I was just opposite the building receiving a phone call when I heard a sound like thunder, coming from the Local Government Secretariat and people were

Electricity Consumers To Pay N50,000 For Pre-paid Metres

From April 25 electricity consumers may pay between N25,000 and N50,000 for pre-paid metres for the single phase and three phase models, respectively, under the new Credited Advance Pay for Metering Implementation, CAPMI, scheme.

The price tag is believed to fast track the deployment of pre-paid metres to customers across the country sequel to the failed free metre scheme initially proposed by the Federal Government.
CAPMI became necessary following complaints by consumers about poor electricity service delivery in the face of continued estimated billing by Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN.

Under the new CAPMI arrangement, metres are

Highest Paid Nigerian Footballers In 2012

Nigerian footballers sure do not earn the sort of money some of their colleagues from other African countries like Ivory Coast (Didier Drogab, Yaya Toure), Cameroun (Samuel Eto) take home. However, that some of them earn quite impressive sums of money is very obvious.
