THE MAN ON THE ONE NAIRA COIN- HERBERT MACAULAY

Herbert Macaulay During the 1920s, a period in Nigerian history associated with the beginning of political agitation for self-rule, Macaulay became a leading figure in the first generation of Nigerian Nationalists. In 1921, Macaulay passionately led protests in Lagos over water rates, land issues, and mishandling of the railway finances. In 1922, he helped a Lagos chief in his legal battle with the colonial government who had forcefully taken some of his land for government purposes. The highest court in England heard the case and returned the land to the chief. This victory inspired Macaulay to establish in 1923 Nigeria’s first political party, the Nigerian National Democratic Party whose members were the first to sit in the Legislative Council. The Nigerian National Democratic Party dominated Nigerian politics throughout the 1920s until the late 1930s. However in 1934, the NNDP lost its dominant position to newly organized student gr

BUHARI SLAMS STATES OVER SALARY

Is this coming at the right time  President Buhari said this during his interactive meeting with workers at the state house Abuja. "27 out of the 36 states cannot pay salaries. This is a disgrace to Nigeria. It is a disgrace up till now that most of the states cannot pay salaries. What happened to all we have gotten over the years?

Most of your colleagues that have left service, I doubt if they are getting benefits. That is the situation we find ourselves in”he said

SECONDARY SCHOOL DROP OUT BURNT FOR STEALING MOBILE PHONE

Daily Post reports that a secondary school dropout simply identified as Chidozie was set ablaze by an enraged mob yesterday for stealing some mobile phones at Iyang Edem by Mount Zion in Calabar, Cross River state. The young man reportedly belonged to a five-man robbery gang who attacked and robbed a teacher at Atu Secondary School. The gang is said to have unleashed a lot of terror in the area and residents have been keeping track of them in order to eventually nab them. The gang was finally located yesterday but, unfortunately, Chidozie was the only one captured as his gang members were lucky to escape. An eyewitness stated that because of the robberies in the area, Chidozie was not spared and an irate mob took justice into their hands by beating him to death and then setting him ablaze. The witness added that Chidozie, who was a senior at Atu Secondary School before he was rusticated, had just been released from prison a week before his death. This brings

MAN SHOWED RED FOR FARTING ON THE PITCH

Adam Lindin Ljungkvist was dismissed in the late stages of a ninth-tier game in Sweden after he let off what was apparently a rather impressive fart EXTRA TIME There are many reasons a player can be sent off in a game - reckless tackles, two yellow cards, even swearing at the referee in some occasions. But Swedish football saw a bizarre new offence which seems incredibly harsh. In a ninth-tier clash, Pershagen SK's Adam Lindin Ljungkvist was sent off for "unsportsmanlike behaviour" when he farted loudly in his side's game against and Jarna SK's reserves. The game was almost over and, having apparently already been given a yellow card, he released wind and was booked for the second time. "I needed to fart, I had a bad stomach," he told Lanstidningen Sodertalje . "So I just farted. Then I received a yellow card and then a red. "I was shocked, it's the strangest thing I have ever experienced on a football field. &q
