If only Nwando was younger than me and unmarried. . . . .she will make a good wife.

TMI-K - - -too much info kills . . . .

I could easily get u assasinated . . .

Is it the same Alausa Kit that goes drinking with Wormy that is feeling tough on the net? I hear say you dey phone Nairalanders to complain about the insults you dey receive here. What a schmuck.

People are here heaping praises on Abidal when even the fella himself realizes he is not playing well at the moment.Irony.The boy has been in poor form for most of the season.

The turmoil that has afflicted Barcelona in recent weeks continued yesterday when the full-back Eric Abidal begged the coach, Frank Rijkaard, to drop him because he is not playing well enough.

Manchester United's Champions League opponents have not had the best of times recently with one high-ranking official suggesting last week that the club had claimed that some players were injured when in fact they had been ostracised because they had been "out partying" too much. Barça are nine points behind Real Madrid in La Liga and yesterday Abidal disclosed his unusual wish to be put on the substitutes' bench.

Article continues
"I try to be 100% but my results are not satisfactory," the left-back said. "If I see that I'm not at the highest level, my responsibility obliges me to tell the coach not to play me." Abidal added he has struggled to adapt to the Spanish culture and later kick-off times since arriving from the French club Lyon in the summer. "Before I handled it better but playing at 10 at night , is something that has affected me."

Abidal is not the only Frenchman having trouble adjusting to life at Camp Nou. Thierry Henry has not enjoyed a sparkling start to his Spanish career after joining from Arsenal last summer. The France striker is unhappy with playing out of position on the left wing and has also said that he misses his daughter after divorcing his wife last year.

We are far from capitalism, socialism AND communism. Your point is true that government does control our parastatals - but the people see no benefit - so we cannot really class it as communism. We cannot be communist because we privatise our industries - the only difference is that OBJ and his cohorts buy up all our industries at knockdown prices. What we practice is a mixture of tribalism, nepotism, big manism and thuggism.

While Nigeria has never had communism,you can't say a system isn't communist merely because "the people see no benefit".Communism is fatally flawed,thus,historically,people living in communist countries don't see any benefits.

Nigeria's economic model did however give Nigerians a glimpse of what life will be like if communism was implemented in Nigeria.With state control of major parastatals breeding corruption and inefficiency.

Communism as an economic model is considered a failure by most serious thinking people.Not even China today can be considered a communist nation. China is only communist in name.

Who is questioning the Bear Stearns bailout?That company had taken positions in credit default and interest-rate swaps worth about $10 trillion.The last thing you want at this moment is even more panic to spread through the banking sector.

@Dayo

Is there any further proof needed that the Bundesliga has the largest concentration of knuckleheads in boardrooms than the sacking of Slomka? Q/F of the UCL and 3rd place in the league,what more do they expect?

Well, America might be the worst debtor but the greatest philantropist. I guess if they minded their business for a change without pokenosing in every other nation's affairs. . .they would not owe so much. 9 billion dollars in Iraq every month. . . from where? To achieve a personal vendetta against and "obnoxious" president without ties to "alqeada" or what ever "boogie man" America is afraid of. From borrowing of course!

Madam,everything is relative.America's debt has to be seen relative to the size of its economy.There are a lot of countries here in Europe with worse debt problems,not to talk of Africa,Latin America and Asia.

$10bn a month is peanuts in a $14 trillion economy.US total defence spending has been lower over the past 2 decades ,as a percentage of GDP,than it has been since the 30s,prior to WWII.

I don't understand all these people "crying" over America's debt burden.Let them come back to Nigeria then,we have little external debt.See how wonderful our lack of debt has made Nigeria.

UN reporter? What is his name?

That would be a first!The state health commissioner announcing a new Govt policy through some 'anonymous' reporter.That also explains why people in Awka had never heard of this measure.

YankeeBrit:
Some people will blame the Nigerian government if it happened in Nigeria - but in Congo - people pray to God for it never to happen again.

Yeah,its not the Nigerian authorities' fault that we have an appalling safety record.Why would anyone want to place blame on them?

RichyBlacK:
Zuwo, can you point to anything incorrect in the original post?

Tit,is anyone paying you to be anti-US?You can always return to Nigeria,its not like as if you or the Prof were born US citizens.

RichyBlacK:
So, if the US tolerates dissent, then one wonders who is paying 4 Play, 4Him, and the rest of the pro-western brigade. Or is it that "the US" tolerates more than than her minions?

This tit has reached the upper limits of his reasoning.Better find something to copy and paste here.

Hmmm. . . .person want get TOH irate.

The story na true sha.Ekiti passed a law mandating polygamy for "financially sound" men.

RichyBlacK:
Rephrasing:
One wonders why the US is not interested in kicking him out of the United States "if he feels the US is so bad".

The US tolerates dissent.In Iran,he would be cooling his heels in jail if keeps knocking the Govt .

doyin13:
I don't know why such debates on this forum often pit people at extreme ends.

Critiquing American foreign policy and the Iranian equivalent are not mutually exclusive.

I happen to find both highly flawed.

Its more a case of warped reasoning than anything.You can't get any more a blatant example of a non-sequitur.Where the issue concerns malfeasance by the Iranian Govt,especially human rights abuses,someone in his wisdom or the lack of one,starts referring to the US as if one explains the other.

How is the US to be blamed for Iran's maltreatment of Arabs,Kurds and women? Whether the debate concerns Zimbabwe,Iran or Cuba,their MO is to refer to the US.Let journalists,students and human rights activists rot in jail,we can always blame the Americans.

RichyBlacK:
A very important excerpt:

"Iran has not attacked another country in more than two centuries, and it developed powerful missiles only after the US banned the sale of air force jets to Iran by all suppliers. Harsh rhetoric aside, Iran spends less per capita on its military than most countries in the region do. It can not possibly challenge the legendary military superiority of Israel, which fears US-Iranian reconciliation would diminish its strategic value to Washington and therefore make the occupation of Palestinian lands politically untenable."

Haven't I told RichyBlack to stop copying and pasting without scrutinizing his articles?

You can't make claims lightly that Iran has never attacked anybody when Iran has continued to occupy Abu Musa and the Greater and Lesser Tunbs.Moreover,it has refused to allow the issue of sovereignty be considered by the ICJ.

As for the US banning the sale of Air Force jets by all suppliers. . . . .did the US ban the sale of Russian jets to Iran? What kind of nonsense is that?

@Jackal

Use the "@" key when you are posting so I can know who you are directing your posts to.

Kit could have been following Arsenal on the BBC World Service.Who cares? You guys no dey tire to discuss one dude.

Come,why una dey gang-up on Kit na? Everywhere I go,na Kit does this,Kit does that.

Make una chill for the guy.

@AJ

Mba!You got all it all wrong.The trick is to marry at the first sign of serious problems down there.Now the thing dey work very well,I no suppose tie myself down in marriage.I shall use my sword to conquer for now!

As for the minutes.Haba,as man dey age,with stress of work and kids,una suppose understand na. Besides,na us dey do most of the work so una no understand.All you people do is to be moaning loudly and scraping your nails into the man's flesh like you dey "mark your territory" for another woman to see.

@AJ

I no dey laugh o.My time will soon come. Most men suffer erectile dysfunction of one kind or the other as they age.

I used to be able to get an erection within seconds of coming,but now,it takes longer. One day too,my girl will be singing praises that I managed to maintain an erection for 10-15 minutes.

Sex no suppose last for more than 2 minutes sha.Na women dey cause all this wahala.

almondjoy:
His abitlity to maintain a solid erection while he helps me get rid of ma muscle cramps when I have "over-extended" my old and tired legs in "certain compromising positions". This can last like 10-15 minutes and that "soldier" is still marking time and standing at a glorious attention at intervals! To him "the show must go on"! Come rain, come shine ooooooooooooooooooh! Cramp or no cramp. . .I can 't even fake common cramps like I used to. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Hmmmmm. . . .that one na "major achievement" o. Maintaining an erection for 10-15 minutes. I'm reading between the lines here. Don't tell me Mr AJ is "powered" by Pfizer Inc.

@Sepe

You asking or what?Wenger was born stupid,is stupid and will die stupid.His real name was Arsene Stupidopoulous before he changed the surname to Wenger.

He is wise in one respect-he has continually duped Gaynners into thinking he is a success when he would have been sacked if he was managing any serious club in Europe of Arsenal's size and history.Guess Gaynners are more stupid than Wenger.

Cadet:

You ever heard of recipes? Or is it also useless to use recipes to learn to cook?

Abeg,what part of the thread title can't you understand? If she learns how to cook,by whatever means,this topic won't apply.

Una dey take thread by his_grace a.k.a angeleses seriously?

We have had this debate before.Its the same narrow-minded and harebrained logic deployed by many women on this forum.

Unless the lady is merely your girlfriend,it is absolutely crucial that both partners can cook.If its only one that can cook,what happens when he or she is sick or travels? What will the kids eat? KFC and McDonalds? Nitwits!

debosky:


First of all. . .rikky you need to go back to highschool so you can spell quotations' correctly. . .as a matter of fact, proper use of the term would have been 'all the quotes' not 'quotations' abi you be contractor for Indiana

Matter of fact, the whole topic should've been 'Official: Nairaland Gaynners' Toomfoolery (all the quotes)! I guess your excitement got the better of you

Typical Gaynner.In your haste to correct,you goofed big time.How is "all the quotes" anymore correct than "all the quotations"? Quote is mainly used as a verb while quotation is mainly used as a noun.Besides the typo,Rikky's use of the term is more accurate.

@Cadet

Are you referring to your dad again? So he was too damn lazy?sorry o.

@Kobo a.k.a LMAO

I will stop referring to you as Kobo and refer to you instead as LMAO!

Woman who can't cook? Useless!

The Dis-Honorable Kit still dey talk? Jehova Jire,abi na gyrating Jehova.

I hear say you dey "fix" NYSC .Who still dey go NYSC these days. . . . .I got an exemption on the grounds of mental illness.Make Jackal try my route,no need to bother himself going to camp.

What about Debosky's penchant for drawing parallels with the 2003/2004? He hasn't been drawing them lately.
