^ This one’s just too funny

Nduka Obaigbena defends Colin Powell here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7670788.stm saying he didn’t know the meaning of the song. WE KNOW! LOL. Of course he had no clue the song was about internet fraud. He was just having a good time and it was a good sight anyway.

You can find more pics of the event here.

And the winners are…

#1 Casey Anthony

#2 John McCain

#3 Sarah Palin

#4 OJ Simpson

Wow. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7593310.stm

Here is a photo from August 29, 2005. I’m sure you know where this is.

Here is another photo from August 29, 2005 (the same day) in another part of the country.

It seems like republican succession to me. George bush invaded Iraq and took care of unfinished business from his father’s term and the Gulf war. Are they done yet? I surely doubt it. I can already see Bush looking hard for a reason to invade Iran and I’m worried John McCain might trigger that war someday if he becomes president.

Here is a video of McCain saying America could be in Iraq for 100 years and lying over & over about Baghdad’s safety.

Am I the only person that thinks there’s something wrong with having an armpit on the box of Kellogs Corn Flakes? And someone in water? Im a big fan of Michael Phelps and this is in no way hate, I just feel a picture of Michael in a track suit or something would be more appropriate for a box of corn flakes. I personally might loose my appetite if I grabbed a box of corn flakes and saw some guy in a pool with water dripping from his body on it.

I heard he’s on Frosted Flakes too. Good thing I’ve got a box left of each.

I had this song on repeat a few weeks ago:

DBanj Fall in Love

Here’s another tight track with D’Banj & Don jazzy speaking Igbo

Dbanj Igwe

I also like Dbanj’s verse on this track:

Shank ft Dbanj Never Felt

Whats up with this guy? I’m suprised I’m just realising this dude runs for Portugal, and he has been since 2001. Wow I’m so stale on track and field. Ok so here we have the issue of patriotism come up again in Nigerian sports. We all know Nigeria doesn’t have the best Sports system and our athletes aren’t very well taken care of. But is that enough reason to run for a “foreign” country? I was watching the olympics tonight and mentioned Francis Obikwelu of Nigeria, not knowing I mentioned the wrong country. I really had never heard anything about him running for Portugal till tonight. So i Google him and find out when and why he stopped running from Nigeria. Last time I checked he was one of our best.

He then made a decision to run for Portugal. The news was broken in July 2000 by Nigerian sprinter Mercy Nku, who like Obikwelu is based in Lisbon. She said Obikwelu took the decision because of neglect by Nigerian sports officials when he was injured while representing Nigeria in Sydney. “He had to go to Canada to undergo an operation on his knee spending his own money.” He became a Portuguese citizen in October 2001.

Hmm…now will I ever decide to compete for another country in sports if I’m not given the right medical treatment by my country? Never. It would be different if he grew up in Portugal or never competed for Nigeria, but to compete for Nigeria then later for Portugal, doens’t seem too right to me. Mercy Nku is also based in Lisbon, and might be a Portugese citizen too, but is she running for Portugal? No. The thing is the Athletic Federation of Nigeria (AFN) is not equal to Nigeria as a country. Even the Federal Government is not equal to Nigeria as a country. These organizations or governments change and are run by regular people which serve terms, and are never permanent, but the heritage of a country lasts as long as the country exists. The AFN might be corrupt and not treat athletes right, but Nigeria is a country and not a set of people that dissapointed you.

This should apply to football players too. Wearing your country’s colors at a sports event should be an honor and thing of pride.

Even also when it comes to general support for Nigeria, some people claim Nigeria will never serve them so why serve Nigeria? Part of why the US might have become such an established nation is cos of patriotism. I think Nigerians are better these days thought, with fast economic development, as there’s more to be proud of.

A story here talks about how Nigerian football players loose interest and dedication to their country once they start playing in Europe. This is didappointing, as I wish I could be a good soccer player (not that I’m not but I hardly play…lol) and play for my country, even if it was for free. Yes I said it, for free.
