When the match they kick off?

U folks advocating that 2.1 should not be given preference over 2.2 are not doing yourselves any favor with your mutilation of the English language

I myself had a 2.2 but I do understand why preference will be made for 2.1s

All the energy dissipated on this thread rationalising an absurd proposition should be best put to use working hard

And for goodness sake,some of these guys should be busy retaking JAMB English,instead of asking for an end to a worldwide practice

Nobody beats this man on nairaland for mendacity

How stupid of me to think that the US like the other permanent members of the Security Council have a special status under the NPT.

For him,the facts are an obstacle to be overcome in expressing his views

@Loyika
No where in my post did I attribute anything to u

Read well then respond

This sad collection of Arse supporters have been reduced to complaining about Ronaldo's diving.Is it Ronaldo's diving that kept u in 4th place?

How does Ronaldo's diving explain the fact that u are languishing in 4th place with no part to play in the title race for the 3rd consecutive season.

Did I hear u say transition? ;DTransition,the refuge of a drowning club

For your info,Arsenal has been awarded more penalties in the league than Man Utd and more than Chelsea and Liverpool combined.

We have scored 61 goals and Arse have scored 46 all due to Ronaldo's diving.

If we had the benefit of all the penalties Arsenal have been awarded,we will be further ahead.If the situation was reversed,u will be in 5th place

Your sorry state has led to u supporting Chelsea.What a pathetic lot.

Please concentrate on your battle for 4th place.U are much closer in points to Wigan in 17th place than to Man Utd in 1st place

Keep looking back to 3 years,we are looking forward to the title .If u want to look back anyway,we can compare trophy cabinets

Bunch of sorry ass or should I say sorry Arse losers

It is typical of those who are inmersed in anti-americanism to turn every international political issue into a festive of anti-american diatribes.A debate about Iran and Isreal is quickly  turned into a debate about the "evils" of the US.

The fact is that there is a nuclear anti-proliferation regime which Iran is already in breach of.They have failed to comply with their obligations under the NPT which they voluntarily undertook.Neither Isreal or the US is in breach of the NPT so debates on the nuclear status of the 2 hinge on extra-legal considerations.

Iran has repeatedly made grave threats against Isreal threatening its very existence.Isreal not suprisingly views this with serious concern and its fears are not allayed by Iran's nuclear program.

It is important to note that the current state of animosity between Isreal and Iran is largely of Iran's making.Iran has no territorial dispute with Isreal.Isreal has never made claims on Iranian territory.A quick glance at the map of the Middle East will expose this fact.Iran unlike Palestine is neither an Arab nation or a Sunni nation

Iran's belligerency towards Isreal is driven by a religious doctrine that views the prescence of a non muslim nation in  what is viewed as Muslim holy land as an abomination which any "true muslim" must bring to an end by whatever means.

The combination of religious extremism and a nuclear program represents to Isreal an existential threat which Isreal feels justified to deal with.



The wider issue of the morality of US policy is nothing but an unnecesary distraction from those who see every issue through the prism of anti-americanism

@Mariory

Is it not possible that during the period that the census was conducted ,Lagos was underpopulated and that most of those who left Lagos during that period went to Kano and returned after the census?

Hey,don't blame me,i am just trying to make sense of this obvious fraud

@Donzman
There u are in North America drawing moral parallels with the US on one hand and N.Korea and Iran on the other

U can feel free to visit the later 2 countries

In N.Korea,2 million Koreans have died of starvation and the President according to the Govt is an accomplished sailor,pilot,writer,scientist,musician,engineer,doctor.In other words,a schizophrenic lunatic who happens to be President for life.

Not much needs to be said about Iran whose President believes that in other to engineer the return of the 12th Imam there has to been an apocalptic conflagration.

Iran has a common bond with Nigeria;there refineries don't work so they import fuel

After all the emotive rants are stripped away,u will find that the nations that seek nukes are very dangerous nations and no parallels can be drawn with them and the US.

NB:I await your postcards from N.Korea or Iran

I heard Wayne Bridge picked up an injury in training with England.Don't know how serious it is yet

Damest09:
@4 Play

How d'yu know this guys are gay?

U didn't see their pics.That is the problem with women,they can't detect a gay man even he has a willy stuck up his rear

It is left to us men to flush them out from the closets

@Lady T

Go and remove that pic of John Legend u have in your bedroom.He does Mr T not Lady T

Vieira:
How much did you pay Mike Riley??

I think u will find that Arsenal have been awarded more penalties this season in the Premiership than Man Utd,7 to 5.

That is quite strange since we score more goals than Arsenal and get into the opponents box a lot more

Arsenal have also been awarded more penalties than Liverpool and Chelsea combined.Yet see where they are,in 4th place.

Had we been awarded the same amount as Arsenal and vice versa,we would have a greater point lead at the top and Arsenal could have dropped into 5th place

@Lady T

Girls like u can't live with the fact that some of the men they fancy are gay .

Take one good look at those two and u need nobody to tell that those guys are buttfcukers

Bodegideon,well done jare.Gay people must be flushed out of the closet whereever they are.

They should stop hiding.It is not right that they sleep with their fellow men and then because they are in denial sleep with women as well

I don't have any problem with people coming out and saying they are gay.They should come out and and then stick solely to their fellow gaymen.

Sleeping with women by gaymen in other to keep up appearances is one of the biggest causes of the spread of HIV.Such behavior is highly condemnable

@coco29,

Why superman, don't u have a question for me too,

@JosBoy4Lif

Neither India,Isreal or Pakistan is a signatory of the NPT.The 5 weapons states,US,UK,France,Russia and China have a recognised status under the NPT.

Only N.Korea,having signed the treaty,subsequently broke it and acquired nukes.Iran seeks to follow down the same path even though it is a signatory

Last I checked,there was a lot of kerfuffle over India and Pakistan's tests.But they are not bound by treaty for they never signed any .Same applies to Isreal

Iran in their wisdom made themselves subject to the NPT,having incurred the benefits(signatories are allowed access to nuclear technologies for peaceful purposes)now seek to move to weaponisation using the technologies they acquired under the treaty.A classic 419 case.

To suggest that Iran is entitled to acquire nukes would amount to making a mockery of international law and international efforts to stop proliferation.It will undermine decades of international consensus and global stability

@JosBoy4Lif

I didn't know Japan had nukes,I defer to your "superior knowledge" on that.I will address some of the issues u brought up

It is unfortunate that their are nukes today and in recognition of this,their has been an international consensus to eradicate them.In summary,international policy has been to ensure that those who have nukes gradually work towards de-nuclearisation and those who don't are expected to  desist from any efforts to acquire one

This was generally working,the US and Russia have undertaken a massive reduction of their nuclear stockpile until certain nations decided to go against the consensus.Why should Russia and the US continue their reduction at the same time that Iran and N.Korea are increasing theirs?

Whatever our opinion is of the effectiveness of the anti-nuclear proliferation regime,we can surely see that the continued proliferation of nuclear weapons only sets up a chain reaction i.e if one nation gets it,neighboring nations feel the need to acquire it,with the consequence that the world is a much unstable place.

The logic of ,"if nation A has nukes nation B must have ",is self defeating.I believe that the fewer nukes there are,the better.

This is the most plausible approach to the issue

@Omo Eko
ok,i take back what i said

U are insulting Northeners instead of brushing up your  literary skills or your lack of one

Omo Eko:
and what

When I clicked on Who's On,u were using the spell checker.Just to type 2 words

Welcome anyway,u are officialy the first barely literate nairalander

Omo Eko:
The Yoruba's off course are the most education people in Nigeria ,

With your grasp of the English language, u are certainly an exception among the Yorubas

@Shagari2

Prime Minister,I am just spreading the message of reason which u are well versed in.

Donzman:
Why shouldn't other Government endeavour to get Nukes?. . .Should we let a certain people use theirs to blackmail and intimidate others based on what?. . .If you can get it, go ahead. Why should India or Israel have nukes but not Iran?

This is a case of cognitive dissonance.Almost every right thinking person on earth has come to the conclusion that nuclear weapons are a scourge on peace and stability on earth.

This thinking is embodied in international treaties which IRAN is a signatory to.How logical is it to claim that a proliferation of nuclear weapons is a legitimate course for human beings to take.

My question is why stop at Iran,If Iran has nukes then Iraq should have,if Iraq has then Kuwait and Saudi Arabia should have,if Saudi Arabia has then Egypt should, , , ,

Genius     ,lets all have the  capability to wipe each other off the planet.That makes a lot of sense and anybody who can't see that is a propagandist.The world is a better place if we can all wipe each other out

Strangely,even Iran has never asserted that it wants and has a right to build nuclear weapons.

The Iranian nuclear program is perceived not just as a threat by the US and Isreal but also by other Arab countries in the Middle East .

Iran is a Shia theocracy and a non-Arab nation(Iranians are mainly Persians) with claims to regional superpower status.Most Arab Govts are mainly Sunni,secular and see the Shia as Islamic apostates.They also have restive Shia populations.

They view Iran with great suspicion and see its potential acquisition of nukes as potentially damaging for stability.With nukes,Iran will be more assertive in the region as they have been in Lebanon,Palestine and Iraq.

A nuclear Iran will precipitate a nuclear arms race in the Middle East with other Govts seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.

Apart from away games at Liverpool and Chelsea,we still have away games at Man City and Everton.However ,I think we will come out winners at the end

I am enjoying laughing at these deluded Arsenal fans.U have to admire their stuborness in the face of reality.

i am enjoying the countdown to victory. ;DAfter our match with them,the more insane ones among them suggested that they will catch up with us. ;DThen it was 9 points,now its 17 points.Are u counting ?17 points

This club has fallen from perennial premiership contenders to mere spectators of the title race.Their fans have been reduced to passing commentary on who they least like to win the title

This is the requiem of a once great club

Man Utd 4 life.

@Uche2Nna

Do u then subscribe to Sir Kay and Kitaun's position that Kaka has to first come to the Premiership to show he is the best midfielder in the world?

Sir Kay:
He should come to play in the EPL, before I'ld agree
