[quote author=j-girl link=topic=128152.msg2170181#msg2170181 date=1208579720]Looking for sugar mummy means looking for a financial source. Asking for an older woman in a relationship is different.

Those looking for sugar mummies are guys who want to be paid to satisfy the women. If that's not jobless - i don't know what else it is.[/quote]Satisfying a woman is hard work given that women can never be satisfied.

Comot here,you no see when I post my picture a few hours ago?

Imani:
Even taken Taekwando classes in the past. I am also a bit of an internet addict I like to be informed about what is going on around me and i like politics, strangely, i like to watch Prime Ministers Questions on the net and listen to debates

You are not alone.

Imani:
Look, we can play the "total football" brand from now till thy kingdom come. What people will look at is what we achieved at the end of the day. This season is particularly painful, because we had it all in our sights, but came up short. Yes, we had a run of serious bad luck, but when are we going to actually admit to sometimes underperforming in key games. No body in their right minds will want to watch Chelsea or Liverppol play, long balls all the time and they are as boring as Avam Grant . Gosh I have never seen that man smile. I thought maybe something was wrong with his cheek bones the first few times i saw him .

Anyway, i am happy we play nice football. But nice football coupled with empty trophy room for 3 or 4 straight seasons will only lead disenchantment of fans. Even Spurs, down the road won the mickey mouse cup. After so long waiting, i thought they would do a parade at the end of the season .

I don't want to argue with you tonight. Goodnite we will continue later.

God go bless you my sister! You will live a long and fruitful life. No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper; D

@Gaynners

You see am? A fellow Gunner has just admitted your club is crap.Good football without trophies is meaningless.

Hmmmm. . . .dancing donuts.You think I don't know that is a fake picture you have up there.

doyin13:
How many did they win in the five years prior to his arrival. . . . .

I remember it was Bruce Rioch's job before Wenger arrived.

Not Bruce Almighty. . . . .Bruce Rioch

They won the League title in 91 and got to 2 European finals,winning one.This myth that Arsenal was a club in a cesspit prior to Wenger's arrival is ridiculous.I remember when Wenger took over,Arsenal,with Pat Rice as caretaker manager,where 3rd in the table.Where are they now? Same 3rd position.

Unlike Fergie who took over a club which hadn't won the league in 2 decades and which was just above the relegation places,there has been no significant improvements in Gunners fortunes under Wenger.

doyin13:
Arsenal fans wan bite the hand wey feed them. . . . . .

I wonder how big Arsenal's fanbase was prior to Wenger's arrival.

I dare say, if Wenger goes, much of the football that attracted all these fans would go with him

In the 7 years preceding Wenger's arrival,Arsenal won 2 league titles and a European trophy.In nearly 12 years of Wenger's reign,Arsenal has won 3 league titles and no trophy.Its obvious there hasn't been a significant increase in Arsenal's success on the pitch.

What attracts fans more than anything is trophies.Beautiful football which leads to a league title every 4 years is not the recipe for attracting and keeping fans.Moreover,Arsenal seems to be regressing over the past few years-you simply shouldn't go from an entire season unbeaten to not managing to break into the top 2 for 3 successive seasons.

Imani:
LadyT,

That is the usual gibberish he comes up with. I am now convinced 4play is a cross between the fictional hunchback of notre dame and that guy that acted the sango film a few years ago.

As Obama would say,"Shame on you. . . . .you know better".

Whenever you come across the Mail's headlines,its always something like:Asylum seeker caught eating babies in Leeds!;Hospital closes down due to MRSA introduced by immigrants!

Low taxes work.Thatcher cut the top rate of income tax from 79% to 40%,it brought about a boom in tax receipts from those in the relevant income bracket in addition to higher GDP growth.Just take a look at Ireland.

The Govt simply has to reduce the level of its expenditure growth.They can cut down on people on benefits and introduce private sector led reforms to vital sectors that will enable the Govt play a lesser role.

The biggest problem with New Labor's tax and spend policies is that money hasn't been spent wisely.Most of the spending splurge in the NHS went to ludicrous salaries for doctors without demanding and ensuring any commensurate increase in productivity from them.

LadyT:
4Play don't lie you were told remove your face otherwise ban!

I no want set the pulse racing for the ladies ,na why I remove am.

Imani:
Shameless 4play, you refuse to even post ordinary picture. I am still waiting for the pic, you said ladies first, unless you don't honour your word. Don't worry, your enemies are not yet online

I just removed mine a couple of hours ago,wetin you dey talk? I will put it up again later in the week.

Imani:
4play reads the daily moan, the "torygraph", and maybe a card carrying member of the conservatives. What do you expect?

He will be voting for bonkers Boris on May 1st. . Boris that has conveniently remembered he has a great one history in recent times.

Thank God he was born here, or else, the tories still wouldn't want him even if he spoke English better than the queen.

I'm actually mainly a Times guy when it comes to the UK.I almost never read the Mail,it feels like a paper for depressed people run by Prozac addicts.

I read mainly online-National Review,Weekly Standard and the Economist(I use the last as my screensaver).

Boris has always stressed his Turkish origins.I remember one documentary he did on the history of the Roman Empire which was were I first found out about his Turkish roots.

The Tories' agenda often reflect many Nigerians' core beliefs-emphasis on low taxes,private enterprise and stronger moral values.

Imani:
My only problem with your explanations is that where do we fit in moral and religious views that we so believe in. As a religious person myself, if i lived by the tenets of my religion, i shouldn't have problems with most people or breaking the law deliberately. I don't have to go abroad to know that.

Religion breeds fatalism and thus,lowers our tolerance threshold,especially amongst adherents of I'slam and the animist religions.

My position is that too long have we neglected developing our selves mentally, materially etc such that some think going abroad will change their lives.

People are being pragmatic,why stay in Nigeria when you can achieve more abroad? If you are looking for material or intellectual nourishment,its easy to see why someone will prefer going abroad.

I still believe that some things are innate and and compassion is sometime we should learn from around us.

You seem to presuppose that Nigerians back home are any less compassionate than Westerners.For me,the reverse is the case.You can see our compassion in people's willingness to share what little they have with others,there is a greater sense of communality which comes from compassion.

You see it in the way we treat our elders or the way people are more likely to come to the aid of someone in distress-how many times have you heard stories of Londoners walking away when they see someone being attacked?

There are people in Nigeria, who live better lives than some of the higher subset you guys are talking about. I think being good, kind, respectful, is also an extention to the kind of society will live in. Everyone knows that the Nigerian society is sick of all manners of evil. Both people make up the country and most of our so called leaders have been immigrants at some stages of their lives. What did they do with what they learned?

Those people are in the minority amidst a sea of ignorance and little education.There is an element of,"when you are in Rome. . . .".

@Imani

Finally there is an image to reflect on. You missed my own,just removed it a couple of hours ago.

There is some truth to what Richy is saying but I don't think it fully explains the relative docility with which Nigerians respond to outrages at home unlike outrages abroad.

The average immigrant tends to be more educated than their average compatriot living back home.To the extent that higher levels of education cultivates a greater knowledge or appreciation of one's rights,a demographic(such as the migrant populace) with higher education levels will respond more sternly to any perceived breaches of their rights than a demographic with lower levels of education(such as the average Nigerian living back home).

The above partly explains why Nigerians abroad have a lower tolerance threshold of any perceived injustices compared to Nigerians back home.This applies generally to any migrant population.For instance,Pakistanis living in the UK are more likely to complain about civil liberties than Pakistanis living in Pakistan.

However,it only partly explains why the Nigerian diaspora complains more.There are other reasons at work:The fact that there are more reliable means of obtaining redress in the West than in Nigeria,the fact that human rights abuses have become so common place in Nigeria leading to a "dulling" of our sense of outrage,perhaps a sensitivity to white racism verging on the oversensitive.

All the above, in my view,explain the different reactions certain abuses or perceived abuses elicit from Nigerians depending on where they live.

can only think of scholes for the long or short pass

guti and xavi.

edmilson as well.

to be honest quite few i could think of.

zola from back in the days etc.

When you support Pompey,it must be difficult to think of quality footballers.You must be used to mediocrity.

Is he on life support?

He is doing okay.Its just that the assailant targeted his "agwo" and doctors are skeptical he can ever use it again.

E fit be Madam Terminator.I believe she is married.

[quote author=D-reloaded link=topic=128242.msg2169411#msg2169411 date=1208551189]what does that have to do with what I'm implying 4Play?

Btw how do you know iice's home [/quote]She once mentioned it earlier,a couple of years ago,that she is from Mali.I thought it was a joke until I was able to confirm it.

nwando:
where is debo ?

He told us one lie about moving house and thus,not having his regular internet access.The truth however is that he was beaten black and blue when he was caught sleeping with a married woman.

nwando:
richy put up a poll on your thread,let the people speak

No need for poll when thousands of people have been emailing Seun to appoint me as moderator. Let him just give me 2 or 3 sections to moderate and you people will see a change.

You are talking to a registered Tory.I don't like Boris but anybody is better than Ken. . . .as long as its not B Paddick.

Boris isn't anymore bonkers than Ken.The problem is that he seems to lack any sense of solemnity.

@Nwando

I voted "good idea". I think you will make a good moderator.We need lovers and not fighters._{what ever that means}

@Richy

You had to hit me where it hurts. I am "clean" these days. . . . .a right-winger doesn't do such.

Would I be wrong to suggest that you are a leftist namby pamby Guardian reader? Your idea of reading what the "other side" has to say is to read the Independent.

@Kobo

Tender your resignation instantly otherwise you go wake up one day with your private parts missing.

All this talk of "democracy" as if we are not Nigerians.Na coup I dey plan.I know Richy is writing a software program that will allow him register 30,000 usernames simultaenously and rig any vote in his favor.

nwando:
NO I want Afam
you can assist him

Holy Ghost Fire! Afam? We no gree. Afam owes me a fight when I see him during christmas in Enugu.

You know without Metro and Lite,you will be clueless as to the outside world. Thank God for free paper!

Are we also to forget the last 3 seasons?

Oya,make we reach compromise.Una go leave Kobo alone if I take over as moderator.

Nairalanders have been clamoring for me to moderate politics.
