Jarus: 37 goals as our record highest scoring pllayer forr Super Eagles is not a good record. Eto'o has haalf of that at Nations Cup alone and 50+ goalls for the national team, Drogba has 60+ gOals fOr CIV. Even Asamoah Gyan has More than 37 gOals forr Ghana.

Take it easy !!! Not a good record It may not be the BEST but it is very good. Check this out

More important is the statistic of goal per game 0.64 . That ratio was very much higher in1994 but he then got several caps at the tail end of his career when returns were clearly diminishing.

Yekini Played in an era when players when our football was not yet professional initially and he came to full time football quite late.
Almost ALL if not all his games were competitive with no few friendlies.
Still let us wish Emenike well it is his time now.

passion007: The arguments are supported by "facts" on both sides.
The US report would likely mask their vested interest, as would the Malaysia report. Both countries have a lot at stake if the world is convinced to dis/continue palm oil.

Where is the Nigerian report? Please provide a link to one.
We have food scientists, clinical dietitians, nutritionists and physicians.
Their honest take on this should be all that matters.

You are right the truth is somewhere in between.If you eat moderate amounts of palm oil I think i is fine and in my view better than margarine,butter ,ghee or lard. The other thing is freshness. If you live abroad you could be using oil a few years old. I guess this is not the best but perhaps research is needed.
Anyway our diet in Nigeria is generally not based on fried foods and so we are more likely to use palm oil in Yam Pottage,Beans and Soups.

The hosts were left fuming after referee Felix Brych awarded Bayer Leverkusen a goal when the ball went through the side netting, though, the official claims he was given no help

Hoffenheim sporting director Alexander Rosen believes it is "scandalous" that Stefan Kiessling's goal was allowed to stand for Bayer Leverkusen and the club will lodge an appeal to have the game replayed.

Leverkusen left the Rhein-Neckar Arena with three points and went top of the Bundesliga following the striker's header which went through the side netting to give the visitors a 2-1 victory.

To add to Hoffenheim's woes they also had a perfectly good goal disallowed and missed a penalty but Rosen was left perplexed by referee Felix Brych's decision to award Kiessling the goal.

“I was absolutely incredulous,” he told reporters. “We immediately saw in the reaction of the Leverkusen players that it was not a goal.

“Then I went down and saw it on TV. That’s scandalous.”

The referee explained his decision after the match, Brych said: "I had a slight doubt but the reaction from the players was clear: nobody was against [the decision].

"I checked with Kiessling. But no-one, not even him said that it wasn't a goal. The ball was in the net and for everyone on the pitch it was a legitimate goal."

Hoffenheim coach Markus Gisdol believes the match should be replayed and the club are to lodge an appeal.

There is a precedent for this type of incident as in April 1994 the encounter between Nurnberg and Bayern Munich was forced to be played again as Thomas Helmer was given a goal despite failing to score in a match that Bayern won 2-1. The DFB association ruled the match should be replayed with Bayern winning it 5-0.

“I think we will see this game again,” Gisdol told reporters. “I hope it will be a just as good a game, but with a better end for us.

“Why should a game with Bayern Munich be replayed, but not one for Hoffenheim?”

Meanwhile the hosts' captain Andreas Beck admitted it was something he had never experienced before in his career.

He said: “Something like this has never happened to me before. I thought my eyes were playing with me. I’m excited to see what happens next and as a competitor I would of course like a replay."

COOLDUN:





Not only Nigeria but the whole West Africa because Nigeria is the first West African country to go to the World Cup in 1994. Rashidi Yekini’s record is not easy to be broken my dear. Let the new players try to create another records that is what we want for now. Creating more records would come with hard work, commitment, and dedication I wish him luck in his career and aspirations.

At the person who said he does not eat congealed oil . The truth is oils that are artificially hardened by hydrogenation are used in the food industry in foods like biscuits,bread,cakes and pastries almost always. People eatig these food rarely think they are eating fat but they are. Refined and deodorized to enhance palatability these fats are ubiquitous. Palm oil is natural and in my view safer than butter or lard which are widely used in baking. The other thing is interest groups promote and champion research that favours them.

adconline:
This is not about alternative, but the clear FACT that palm oil causes bad cholesterol -LDL to rise.

Of course it is about alternative. It we take it as a given that humans MUST consume oil and we are told that some oils are harmful we must ask which oils are safe.
Have you got any studies that demonstrate that palm oi causes LDL to risel. Please share this with me. By the way the binary of "good" and "bad" cholesterol is a misnomer. Like any other nutrient into the human body moderation and balance is key. Much of what has been written about Palm oil is not based on direct studies and ignores a key concept; BIOAVAILABILITY. The fact that a food contains something does not tell us whether if we consume it we absorb it at all of t what extent. So if you are aware of any studies that outline the dietary intake of palm oil in grammes daily ,over what period and the pre nd post study measurement of so called "bad cholesterol" share it here.
The other thing to bear in mind is the relationship between cholesterol ,atheroma and heart disease is complex. There is an "associative" not a "causative" relationship. Other variables come into play and these are not fully understood today. Many people with so called good diets have high cholesterol levels and vice versa.
Palm oil is very good especially when FRESH

Not just for a Nigerian but for ANY international especially when you consider that he got several caps toward the end when he was no longer scoring .
To reach the record he needs to stay injury free for a while

Effects of palm oil on cardiovascular risk.

Abstract

A major public health concern of affluent nations is the excessive consumption of dietary fats which are now closely linked to coronary heart disease. Against this scenario, the tropical oils and palm oil in particular, have been cast as major villains in the U.S.A., despite the fact that palm oil consumption there is negligible. The unsuspecting public may not realise that the call to avoid palm oil is nothing more than a trade ploy since in recent years palm oil has been very competitive and has gained a major share of the world's edible oils and fats market. Many also lose sight of the fact that, palm oil, like other edible oils and fats, is an important component of the diet. The allegation that palm oil consumption leads to raised blood cholesterol levels and is therefore atherogenic is without scientific foundation. Examination of the chemical and fatty acid composition of palm oil or its liquid fraction should convince most nutritionists that the oil has little cholesterol-raising potential. The rationale for these are: it is considered cholesterol free. its major saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid (16:0) has recently been shown to be neutral in its cholesterolaemic effect, particularly in situations where the LDL receptors have not been down-regulated by dietary means or through a genetic effect. palm oil contains negligible amounts (less than 1.5%) of the hypercholesterolemic saturated fatty acids, namely lauric acid (12:0) and myristic acid (14:0). it has moderately rich amounts of the hypocholesterolaemic, monounsaturated oleic acid (18:1, omega-9) and adequate amounts of linoleic acid. (18:2, omega-6). It contains minor components such as the vitamin E tocotrienols which are not only powerful antioxidants but are also natural inhibitors of cholesterol synthesis. Feeding experiments in various animal species and humans also do not support the allegation that palm oil is atherogenic. On the contrary, palm oil consumption reduces blood cholesterol in comparison with the traditional sources of saturated fats such as coconut oil, dairy and animal fats. In addition, palm oil consumption may raise HDL levels and reduce platelet aggregability. As with all nutrients, there is a need to obtain a balance of different fatty acids found in fats in edible oils and other food sources. There is no single ideal source of fat that answers to the recent American Heart Association's call to reflect a 1:1:1 ratio of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats in relation to the recommended dietary fat intake of 30% of calories or less.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Rubyventures:

All I am saying is that Palm oil is very high in Poly saturated fats, these fats clog up the arteries. If you know this fact are you still prepared to take this risk?

Not true that is superficial Science. The subject has been well researched in Malaysia . So rather than be sensational don't be LAZY do some research

taharqa: Oh! Lawd!!! Hehehehehehe.... So na this one una get since? Did you read d article you posted... BUNCH OF SHAMELESS LIARS

Guy please check well those you are exchanging insults with.Maybe you are confusing me with someone else.

taharqa: If Tinubu did not build it, who did na?? Abi, na Fashola build am? I mean, it has to be either of them, right? Abi, is d claim not: a 271MW Power Plant has been built by d Lagos State Govt and is presently supplying power to d National Grid??

cLaim by me. Are you Well? The reason I am talking to you is that you quoted me.So I suggest you GO BACK nd READ what you quoted.

Ngokafor: ....i dont get it...why are some peeps jumping around like frogs??..is it that they are really daft,mentally unstable or both?...
...The tradition there is that their traditional ruler should not marry a 'foreigner' simple...it's not about Igbo or whoever so whats the big deal?....silly thread indeed!

So Eboes are foreigners

AES EGBIN

Stakeholders report two versions of the inception
of the project.
10
In the first version, Enron
approached the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN)
and the Lagos State Government with a
proposal to build own and operate an emergency faci
lity, namely a 90 MW barge-mounted diesel plant
to be run on liquid fuel, followed by a permanent f
acility comprising a 560 MW gas-fired plant,--both
under a common PPA. In the second version of the s
tory, the Lagos State Government apparently
drove the process and directly approached Enron for
the two-part project. In both versions,
international competitive bidding (ICB) practices w
ere overlooked and the deal was negotiated within
months. The original power purchase agreement was s
igned in 1999 among the project company, the
Lagos State Government, the Federal Ministry of Pow
er & Steel and NEPA, with the expectation that

10
the first plant would be on-stream by December 1999
. Yinka Folawiyo Power Limited (YFP), a local
Nigerian firm, was also involved at this stage as a
dvisor to Enron, but not a signatory to the PPA.
Due to public pressure, however, this initial deal
was modified, and negotiations would
continue for another six months through to mid-2000
. Major objections were raised about: the lack of
transparent and competitive bidding; the type of fu
el to be used, the fact that the plant would not be
penalized for poor performance; that the project co
mpany would receive excessive contract
termination payments; and that capacity payments we
re deemed too high. Amidst the ongoing
negotiation, the original plan for the land-based 5
60 MW plant was shelved (albeit not dropped). The
major items to be changed involved increasing the i
nitial plant from 90 MW to 270 MW (9 units of 30
MW each gas-fired open cycle) and switching the fue
l from liquid fuel to natural gas, both of which
had the effect of reducing the capacity and energy
charges (with some reports of a reduction of up to
ten times the original charge), with a final invest
ment cost of US$240 million.
11
It was agreed that the capacity charge would be fl
at, indexed to OECD CPI, for the 13.25-year
duration of the contract, which would be backed by
a sovereign guarantee. Capacity charges would be
payable in dollars. There was no separate fuel supp
ly agreement; instead, fuel was to be provided by
NEPA (subsequently PHCN), which would contract it d
irectly from the Nigerian Gas Company.
A little less than a year before Enron filed for b
ankruptcy, the firm sold its shares in two
tranches.
12
In September 2000, Enron sold 30 percent to AES. T
hen in December 2000, the firm sold
the remaining 65 percent and 5 percent respectively
to AES and YFP, which although present since
project inception only became a shareholder in 2000
. Enron did not complete construction, and the
construction contract was transferred to AES Inc Vi
rginia USA, with the plant coming online in May
2001 (Van Meeteren 2005).
Although agreement was reached and the plant has b
een online since 2001, further
negotiations continued with regard to the availabil
ity-deficiency payment as well as the tax exemption
certificate (which remains outstanding). The issues
were ultimately taken to arbitration, and while th
e
arbitration has been concluded, after approximately
five years, the arbitral award is still being awai
ted,
together with a figure for the ultimate cost of the
arbitration (RERA per com 2011). Throughout,
secure fuel supply has been an issue for AES due to
conflict in the Niger Delta, which flared up most
recently in 2008/9, and which impacts on fuel deliv
ery to the plant, located in Lagos.

taharqa: And, it is a 271MW Plant, built by Tinubu, which presently supplies power to d National Grid, faaaa?? I just want to be clear on d above.... Abeg, tell me more; am all earz...

did I say that it was built by Tinubu? I Suggest you go back nd read what I wrote that you just quoted. You can read Yes it is 271MW plant powered by gas supplying the National grid. If it is operating at full capacity.

taharqa: Cud you be kind enuf to tell us the name and location of this 217MW Plant that d LASG built and that is presently supplying power to d national grid, plz?? You may use @eko ile, @plaindealer, @agbameta, etc, to answer... Thnks you mush

It is located in Egbin Lagos State At the Same Site as NEPA> It was built by Enron in Collaboration with Tinubu but it is now known as AES Barge

taharqa: Bros, Sorry. I don't undastad anytin bout you just wrote above. Could you plz expantiate on it; actuali, REALI expantiate on it. Thnks

Please check your Dictionary there is no word like " EXPANTIATE" practise spelling word correctly
