Any news on Orukpe?

[shoxilla]

So you're sayin there's a chaaaaaaaaance. . . . .

[Snapshot9]

I don't know if this is conflicting schollie wise or not, but in an article about Alex Vouyoukas, he stated he wanted to have a school to go to by May 25th, his graduation date.

I don't know if that affects decisions surrounding Orukpe or not.

[wushock]

That has nothing to do with Orupke. If we sign him it will be in place of Priedom

[tropicalshox]

That's probably true and we also never had a final answer on Hatch returning to Arizona.

[SubGod22]

I think Preadom is gone based off of reports in the paper. I'd guess Hatch will be here.

Signing one more player won't effect Ehimen at all. I only expect one more signing unless they give up on our African friend.

I just received an e-mail from England from someone well-connected with the situation in Nigeria:

Attention: Sir/Madam,

Here's one I just received from the high court in Lagos:

PROPOSAL TO DEVELOP AND PRODUCE A 2599.KM2 OIL BLOCK IN ANAMBARA, NIGERIA

I hereby write this letter of proposal to develop and produce a 2599.81km2 oil block in Anambara state of Nigeria .
I am an industrialist, I secured the 2599.81km2 oil block 905 for $100,000,000 USD during the OPL rounds of oil blocks bid held in Abuja, Nigeria 2005.
I will briefly summarize the events that occurred which prompt me to put up my oil block for development and production.
In December 2004, during the course of raising the $100, 000,000 USD in tendering for the bid, I entered to a business agreement with a London businessman, Mr. Simon Cole, who invested $17,400,000 USD because I was only capable of raising just $82,600,000 USD from my businesses. At the end I had the complete $100,000,000 USD summing up the money I got from Mr. Simon Cole.
After the bid, I secured the oil block but could not develop and produce it at that time because I was running a shortage of funds in my businesses due to the removal of the $82,600,000 USD; hence I had fewer funds to hire the services of an oil firm to start work on my oil block.
From my calculations I would be able to get enough funds to hire an oil firm in about 7-years time. Unfortunately Mr. Simon Cole did not buy the ideal of waiting for that long a time for him to get his benefits when I tired to explain it to him.
So he asked that he should be paid $80,000,000 USD as his settlement payment which I disagreed with.
On the 5th of June 2007, I was served a letter from the high court in Lagos , asking me to appear in court with my lawyer that I was been summoned to court by Mr. Simon Cole.The case lasted from the 25th -31st of June 2007. then the judgment was pronounced on the 31st of June 2007, where the presiding judge on the case ordered me to pay $65,000,000 USD to Mr. Simon Cole, I was given up until 31st June 2008 as deadline to pay up the total money.
Till date I have be able to pay $58,000,000 USD to Mr. Simon Cole and still owns him $7,000,000 USD. I have no liquid cash to pay off my debt this is why I write this proposal to develop and produce the my oil block, if you will agree to take care of my $7,000,000 USD debt to Mr. Simon Cole before the deadline date.
I have my lawyer on stand-by, ready to negotiate the terms of agreement in regards the percentage sharing of the revenue that will be generated from the oil block when production commences and the duration of the agreement.
I have attached a copy of the court's judgment made available to my by my lawyer.
Note that all risks and cost of development and cost of production will be the sole responsibility of you/your company alone.

Thanks for your time.

Actually, there's about 21 pages of BS. I actually got a good chuckle out of page 21... grow a sense of humor, you'll live a lot longer.

Orukpe is my favorite WSU basketball player that has never played basketball at WSU.

Ehimen has been assigned the #21 and this post is on the 21st page of the "Any news on Orupke?" thread!!! Will he arrive before page 22 is started??? Does anyone know if he already has his name on a locker, yet?

people had better stop posting if we're using this logic.

Isn't it about time we invaded Nigeria anyway?

Corrupt regime + oil = perfect target for the importation of Democracy.

Maybe in the confusion we could sneak EO out...

Eric Sexton was on Sports Daily this morning and was asked about EO.

He said Coach Gross had been in Nigeria recently on a recruiting trip. Did not say whether or not he had contact with EO, but no doubt Coach Gross was at least finding out what he could about what it would take to get EO out of there.

He said EO had a visit to the Nigerian Embassy upcoming and that Eric had arranged for some congressional contact (probably Todd Tiarht, although he did not say who).

He said we should know one way or the other within a couple of weeks and that this was probably the last stand.

Keeping in mind he is an optimist by nature, he putts the odds of getting EO out at 50-50.
