Not sure if these allegations have all being confirmed but shouldn't he be innocent until proven guilty? Plus that doesn't look like the court of law to me.

Lol @ the officer using profanity with the perp during an interrogation

"you fukk her," "giving them less than $15 for their kitten"


Malaysian officers are so unprofessional.

Bashmantech:
One thing I like about d Head to head league compared to classic league is d fact that you can't jus remove ur team as u like.

What do you mean

I won my H2H leagues and cup competition but still ended up with red arrows everywhere

Ibime:
Na only 1 point you take win me sef cos Jores Okore gave me 3 bonus points

Victory still

Ibime:
No you wouldn't! You are 5 points ahead. JTs goal is worth 6 points.

Plus I'm expecting 2 or 3 bonus points from Yaya Toure.

You're right. I thought i had points in the bench.

Ibime:
Thunder fire JT! Just allow me win my game jejely, the guy no gree

If you make more than 1 free transfer in a gw Or 2 (+ 1 rollover transfer), 4 points per extra transfer that you make is deducted from your H2H result for that gw.

Wow!
3 months journey from page 4 and i'm finally in the first page, just like the Israelites

I ain't stopping. Now for the top 10

Anyone who deletes his/her team should be automatically banned for life from all future NL fantasy leagues. Losing is all part of the fun, you win some, you lose some.
Everyone goes through a bad patch. If everyone deletes when that happens, imagine how much fun would've been sucked out of the competition.

Only losers delete after having a bad gw. mukina2, please take note.

Kachisbarbie:
hahahaha.
Nice one, you beat me to it.

Very true, I agree with your post.

If it's real, if it's worth it...if it comes "early"...go for it.

I agree with your points too, i think most people misunderstood it. "Later" for everyone is different, it doesn't necessarily mean get married at age 30, 40, or 50. It could be 25. We all grow at different pace and no timeline on when you're matured enough.
Maturity doesn't come with age.

Meanwhile, papakachie is lucky i wasn't there

lomaxx:
Very legit.

26 is a good time to make that woman legally mine.

It's like offering the crumbs to your partner afterwards. Kinda like Apple paying for women to freeze their eggs and slave for the company which indirecty means, lets use you now and later when you're worn out, offer whatever is left to your children.

That said, marry early only if you're ready and to the right person. Don't marry for the sake of the label or societal pressure

This is something I've always wanted to share, not to counter kachisbarbie, my crush

An interesting read on why you should get married now, not later.

I think we are missing the primary reason for marriage and Every generation leaves its own mark on the world, and this is ours. Rejecting an institution that is integral to our advancement as a species; that will be our legacy. Maybe our kids — the dozen or so we collectively produce — will continue this process of self-destruction by being the first to voluntarily give up on water and oxygen.

Who knows? We can’t tell them how to live, man.

So I’d like to take the occasion of my wedding anniversary to offer some needed encouragement to my millennial peers.

I implore you, friends, don’t be afraid of marriage.

Look, I’ve been young and single. In fact, I’ve been more single than many of you, as I lived completely on my own — no roommates or live-in girlfriends — for the first five years of my twenties. And I’ve also been young and married with kids and responsibilities. If I could choose between the two, I’d take young and married every time, without a doubt.

You won’t hear this from very many people anymore, but this is my advice: get married young. Have kids. Don’t be scared of growing up.

Most people are supposed to venture out into the world and start families while they are still young and full of life and energy.

Most people. I didn’t say all. I didn’t say every. I didn’t say there aren’t exceptions or that people don’t have different vocations and callings in life. I said most. As a fundamental, general principle, human beings shouldn’t wait until they’re 35 or 40 to start a family. That’s what our twenties are for.

Now — with the already-stated disclaimer that I am an not a marriage expert and I do not mean to suggest that the following points apply equally to literally every single human being who has ever walked the face of the Earth — I’m going to give you eight solid reasons why young people should start thinking about marriage and kids now, rather than two and a half decades from now.

1) You don’t need money to get married.

What is with this ‘I can’t afford to get married’ stuff? There isn’t an hourly fee attached to marriage, as far as I’m aware. If there is, I don’t know how I managed to pay it three years ago when my salary was a whopping 400 bucks a week.

Besides, every day I see a link on Facebook to ridiculous clickbait websites like Elite Daily or Thought Catalog, explaining the ’30 Things You Should Try in Your Twenties,’ or some such nonsense, and the list always includes traveling, partying, and hanging out at bars.

What do all of these things have in common?

They cost money. A lot of it, actually. We don’t get married or have kids because we ‘can’t afford it,’ but we certainly don’t let our limited finances get in the way of our recreational activities. And we definitely won’t allow our minimal income to prevent us from collecting all of the latest Apple products.

We can’t afford to be spouses and parents, but we can sure afford to be extremely active consumers.

Something seems a little off balance here.

Really, in a culture overrun with consumerism, very few people can claim they ‘don’t have the money’ to do important things. It’s not a matter of a lack of resources at all — it’s a matter of jumbled priorities.

In any case, money or no money, the good news is that marriage is free. Sure, the ceremony might cost you a penny or two or million, but married life doesn’t come with a specific price tag.

Neither do kids, incidentally. I know economists like to assign completely arbitrary cost figures to raising kids — I think it’s over a quarter million dollars now — but I can tell you unequivocally that it’s all nonsense. My parents raised six kids. By these calculations, they would have plunked down around 1.5 million dollars throughout my childhood.

They didn’t. Not even close. In fact, there are many large families out there who manage to survive and thrive on solidly lower-middle class incomes. It’s not magic. It’s just a matter of controlling your impulses and exercising a little discipline.

2) You aren’t your parents.

I’m lucky. My parents have been married for over 30 years and provided me and my siblings with an incredible example of what marital love and fidelity looks like.

Many of my peers were not so fortunate.

Millions grew up in chaotic homes, witnessing the daily horror of selfish, immature parents verbally and emotionally tearing each other apart, until one finally left, dooming the kids to a childhood of guilt and abandonment.

A great many Millennials came of age in this kind of tumultuous, spiritually violent environment. Having seen nothing but failed marriages and bitter divorces — having never witnessed a healthy, stable, married life — they’ve become incredibly jaded.

Marriage is misery, they think, and I can’t blame them for feeling that way. Still, it’s about time they come to understand that their parents made choices. They chose to have that kind of marriage.

You do not have to make the same choice.

You are not your parents.

You have seen a bad marriage, now go and make a better one.

3) Marriage is about experiencing life with your spouse by your side.

There’s a very basic and very lethal flaw in the “I’ll get married once everything is perfect in my life” philosophy. Actually, two.

First, nothing will ever be perfect. Sorry.

Second, a big advantage to marriage is that it gives you the wonderful opportunity to traverse the peaks and valleys of life with your husband or wife beside you.

Maybe this is another reason behind the divorce epidemic. We don’t go into marriage prepared to meet any serious challenges because we think we’re supposed to wait until all of those challenges have passed. But they’re never gone for good, so when they inevitably reappear we start looking for the nearest exit. “Hey! What is this — an obstacle? I didn’t sign up for this!”

4) Youth is a gift.

There’s a reason why we idolize youth in our culture (though to an unhealthy degree). With youth comes health, energy, endurance, and vitality. These are good things; they give us purpose and promise in our younger years.

The question is how do we use these gifts? Or, more importantly, who do we give these gifts to?

Do we keep them to ourselves? Do we use them to become more passionate consumers, more fervent video game players, and more enthusiastic bar patrons? Do we devote them entirely to our employer in the name of being more perfect servants to our corporate masters? Or do we give them to our spouse and then to our children?

Which is the most worthy and worthwhile cause?

On a related note, Facebook and Apple recently announced an exciting new health benefit: they’ll pay to have their female employees’ eggs frozen so that the women on their payroll can concentrate on attending meetings and doing their boss’ bidding without worrying about any pesky children showing up and getting in the way.

Feminists have called this empowerment, but I think we can call it another cultural nadir. We have sunken so low that now we treat children as leftovers, storing the ingredients in the freezer, hoping to come back to them at a more convenient time.

But kids are not last night’s casserole and our biology is not something that we should try to circumvent.

We give our youth to our bosses and our cubicles and then bring (or try to bring) children and spouses into the equation once we’re tired and beaten down after years of serving ourselves and our career ambitions.

It’s crazy. And I mean really crazy, especially now that we’ve started removing body parts in order to ensure that kids don’t spoil our chances of climbing into the next tax bracket.

This is the kind of behavior that our ancestors would look upon with pure bewilderment and disgust.

I know how they feel.


5) Family life is edifying.

You won’t miraculously turn into a better person because you got married and had kids, obviously. But, at their essence, families are built and held together through sacrificial love, and this is something that can — if you give yourself over to it — sanctify you and bring you closer to God.

When you pour your energies and efforts into serving and loving your spouse, raising your children, and guiding your family, you’ll find that, inevitably, you grow and mature in the process.

I’m not suggesting that anyone run out and get married as some sort of self-help strategy. I am, however, saying that your bond with your spouse and your children has the ability to change you and illuminate your life in ways that nothing else can. Best friends, siblings, parents — none of these relationships have quite the same kind of potential.

Certainly, live-in girlfriends and boyfriends are no replacement for the commitment, sacrifice, and profound love of a family joined together through the sacrament of marriage.

6) You don’t have to wait for ‘The One.’

This isn’t The Matrix, nor are we living in some godforsaken Disney movie. I can’t believe, with all of our modern cynicism, that we still hang onto the fairy tale notion that there is one single, specific individual waiting out there, looking up at the moon longing for the romantic embrace of the one and only person destined to be their lover for all eternity.

I don’t mean to scandalize you, but here’s the reality: The One doesn’t exist.

You aren’t fated to love any particular person. You choose to love them, and when you marry them you reaffirm that choice every day, forever, until death do you part. There’s nothing written in the stars. It’s got nothing to do with destiny or whatever silly crap you read in a Nicholas Sparks novel.

If you’ve been through 14 relationships, throwing yourself into them before high tailing out of there at the first sign of trouble, I have bad news: ‘The One’ won’t suddenly appear out of the wilderness with ‘MARRY ME’ tattooed across their forehead. And if someone like that does emerge from the forest one day — run. Call the cops.

The truth is, the one you marry is The One. That’s all. You married them so they are The One. There is zero chance that you get married only to find out that your mystical soul mate was actually on an expedition in Antarctica this whole time, and if you’d held out a little longer you could have lived happily ever after.

Marriage bonds you eternally to your spouse, making them your soul mate and nobody else. Period. That’s all there is to it.

7) Biology is a thing.

Now, I ain’t no scientist or nothin’, but I’m pretty sure there is a limited period of time when a woman can naturally conceive children. I think, at the very least, we ought to take this as a strong hint that it isn’t necessarily advisable to save having a family for the precise point in our lives when having a family is potentially physically impossible.

And even before it becomes impossible, it becomes increasingly risky as women get older. I’m not saying that women in their late 30′s shouldn’t have kids, only that it’s usually not the best strategy to wait until then to start trying.

Our fertility is not a disease. Our biology is not a mistake. Our bodies definitely have an opinion about when we should start making a family, and I think we should probably listen.

It’ll be the best adventure of your life.

We’re young. We’re risk takers. Thrill seekers. We’re bold and ambitious. We’re the strivers, the dreamers, the fighters, the revolutionaries.

So if you really want to do something bold and beautiful with your youth — love someone, commit to them, have kids, forge a place in this world for you and your family. You can go stare at buildings in Europe and walk across sandy beaches on the Pacific, but none of those experiences will teach you more about yourself and the world than staring into someone’s eyes and saying “I do,” or holding your child and swearing silently to God that you will gladly die for this little being in your arms.

In the end, these are the things most of us long for, whether we know it or not. We want to commit ourselves to that which is greater than ourselves. We want to love, to fight, to live for something.

But society urges us to concentrate our efforts elsewhere. That’s why you can type ‘things you should do in your twenties’ into Google, and you’ll get a bunch of articles listing everything but ‘get married and have kids.’ Cosmopolitan magazine encourages its readers to dedicate their twenties to having sex with hot guys and wearing brightly colored shirts at rock festivals. Buzzfeed tells us to act goofy and get plenty of AIDS tests. Another site advises us to drunk dial our exes, dye our hair blue, and dance.

No time for marriage and kids when we’re too busy sitting with our blue hair at Walgreens waiting for our Valtrex prescription, I guess.

This is what our culture wants of us. It wants us to whittle away an entire decade pretending that we’re still teenagers on spring break.

But I think we’re capable of more than that.

I think we’re capable of great things.

And there’s nothing greater than starting a family.

This better take me to the first page for the first time
The most fantasy points i've ever gained since i started playing fpl last season

Nwikys:
I guess almost all the Ninjas in this forum had Austin so my search for differentials continues... I just hope that i get enough green arrows to climb a few spots from my 86th position on the league. Btw hats off to Dare the king of differentials.

Only a few captained him.


Oh my, this gw should end right now

zboyd:
A couple should think divorce when...


...the spouse is cheating
...the spouse is verbally abusive
...refuses to work on the regular
...s/he is abusive towards the kids
...the spouse is a criminal
...the spouse steals from the other spouse
...the spouse's family is constantly interfering with the couple's marriage
...the spouse is sexually incompatible with the other spouse
...the spouse becomes un-attracted to the other spouse

You should add this too,

You should add this too, divorce should be an option the moment one of them sh1t starts to stink more than normal

Lol @ greasy butt

mukina2:
terrible day today
Austin
Chambers
Costa

all just gave me - points

Uhm Austin scored a goal and an assist too possibly

Oh sh1t, the bastard got sent off

Costa will bang in 2 goals

carefreewannabe:
When I donate money, I donate money. I don't expect people to work for the money and I don't make them share their private lives, certificates and problems with the whole world. This is what donations are about. Giving without expecting ANYTHING in return.

Apart from that, when I choose to give money to the less fortunate then I don't want other people to know it.

Who gives a sh1t? It doesn't matter and this ain't about you. It's her money. No one makes the rule when you decided to do your thing. This is babyOsisi's money and her rule.

Good job @ Op.

Wow! The only thing i could pick out of this thread is the same damn sense of entitlement Nigerians have, home and abroad.

Someone decides to give out her hard earned money and people getting upset about the criteria or how small it is. I've seen scholarships of $100 given in my undergrad days and it wasn't given without anything to show for it.

Nothing comes easy and people do work for every $1. It ain't like Nigeria where you manipulate the book and reap where you never sowed.

I bet most of them can't boast of that in their account but wanna act all Bill Gate. Even if you do, how many of you guys have thought about doing that or/and actually did it?

I can't stand this attitude, it stinks and it's the reason that country is fuked up with fuked up people and their warped way of thinking.

So far so good on H2H but am i gonna ever see the first page of the league?

MaziOmenuko:
Lol...my guy don vex!

To successfully prosecute a GW with your team, take the injured and suspended to your defense line: they will never concede a goal and you will have maximum points for cleansheet. Convert sanchez to a striker (hold the ctr key of ur keyboard and drag him to desired position).

Now that's what I call 'tactical maneuver'

You punk! I actually tried the ctrl thing

8pt hit but cpt Aguero to the rescue

Horus:
You know very well that they are not protesting to support America. And who are you to judge them?

It'll do you good to refrain from refuting until you understand the argument. The point is the active interest in an American issue while there are several issues the country is currently battling. I'm not judging; however, I find it ridiculous.

Good analysis up there maziomenuko

Sadly, I'll be taking an 8pt hit for this gameweek. H2h loss for sure

Horus:
They have the right to protest for Michael Brown

This ain't about the rights they have or don't have. The fact that you have the right to do anything doesn't mean everything you do is right.

America doesn't care give a damn about them and i have no clue how a racial issue in America is of any concerns to Nigerians living in Nigeria
