so by default Nigerians should be celebrating becuase they are not on the list?

P.S:Mr Professor! Notice I spelt the capital of Ethiopia correctly while u spelt it wrong!
cos  Sarah Palin thought that Africa was a country and you thought that "IBOS" gotta be Africans or African Americans

Cry babies, just like the BIAFRANS! Lol. Most of them gotta be Ibos for real!
It seems you studied in Sarah Palin's school of history and current affairs. Basis entry requirement; Capital of Africa is Adis Ababa

I thought this type action would come from a dictator like Kim Jong Il of North Korea

What do u expect from a confrimed Thief who received his blessing from the GJ- the king maker. It's like Nzeribe saying that IBB would no be eligible for presidency in1992.

The only reason crime statistics are high in the USA is sheer size and population,you should be able to figure that out,pal.but guaranteed that in terms of crime victims per 100 persons,by far nigeria leads the USthere is no doubt about that.

This is far from the truth. South AFrica would have a lower crime rate since it's 1/6 of American population. Or Maybe China should have more homicide rates than USA with a population of over 1 billion folks. New Orleans is less than half a million, but it has more crime rate than NYC that has about 8 million.

ghana deserved to lose

African players have never lived up to expectation when the stakes are high. Legends seek for opportunities, under-achievers wait for miracles and luck

why bother for a licensed gun in Naija when you can get it thru black market or NPF

4 yrs of dating and you never bothered to ask him to introduce u to his mom? becareful what you are asking for!! Bad relationship with his mom is a sign of serious things to come.

go ask Tiger Woods why he's paying his wife $750 million so that he can screw other chics

Untill Supporters of Mugabe and Co tell us how much foreign aid they got last year from EU and the US. The point is that a loaf of bread cost billions to buy in Zimbabwe. This govt is on life support. RSA pays her bills and supplies her with electricity.

We all knew it was for this same rotational agreement among PDP the Ibo's held the post of Senate president for 8years even as many times as they kept on impeaching themselves.
Point of correction, Igbos did not impeach Senate presidents, the Senate did. Igbos with 5 states would only get 15 votes and 2/3 of 109 senators ie 72 senators would be required to impeach a president. Got it?

But the govt. has a duty to start from somewhere!!!!!!

does NFF put food on our table. FIFA ban is on the corner. This decision will further worsen the situation. The point is that these so called players are not good. NFA to NFF, no difference, just like NEPA to PHCN, Hilton to Transcorp Hilton.

Now a govt that cant organise a free and fair election is banning NFF. NFF is part  of Nigeria' ineptitute. From NEPA, Transcorp, INEC, Cadbury, Governors to the President, Nigeria lacks managemnt skills.  Jonathan is towing the line of Abacha who barred Nigerian from contesting in ANC in 1996 and CAF slapped us with another  2-year ban. Jonathan fix NEPA and INEC.

employment rule no 1. Do not have sex with  your boss or co-worker. She broke the rule by having sex with her MD's daughter.

[b]Just few weeks ago (less than 2 months as our president), Goodluck also attended Alao Akala's birthday in Ibadan hand in hand with OBJ. Infact, he (Goodluck) was the one that assisted Akala to cut the birthday cake.

Another reason for Nigerians to understand that there isn't a perfect politician, they are all the same bulls hit.
At this point the only hope for Nigeria is IBB, a man that has too much to lose if things are not done correctly, a man that knows Nigeria more than anyone else, a man that has enormous experience, a man that can not be pushed around by anyone, a man that thinks broadly, a man that has the tool to connect and promote unity among Nigerian citizens, a man that listens attentively and utilizes all great ideas effectively, a man that is willing to pay Nigeria for every single month that he spends in Aso rock as our president, a man that wants to correct things more than anything else, a man that will not take any rubbish from any governor, a man that is ready to tackle all our (invisible and visible) problems head on.

Do not be a fool, there isn't anyone else that has all these capabilities and can exercise them effectively in this country called Nigeria. They can promise you everything and anything, but business as usual and other unique obstacles will never allow any of these local champions to move this country forward the way IBB will do.
IBB will make magic happen in Nigeria in less than 6 months.

Goodluck is a good man, but doesn't have the balls and the tool to bring this country back to the top; and this is why he isn't contesting. He knows better, he will not allow OBJ and co to push him into the fire the same way Yaradua was pushed.[/b]

kolo mentality squared

As far as FIFA is concerned, if the ball did not rock the net, it is not a goal.
So the net takes precedence over the goal-line even though the goal-line precedes the net? seems  illogical. Get rid of the goal-line.

my brother nothing wrong in rejoicing with neighbors o, but dont foget we were in that tournament so what happened to us? what if we were to play Ghana say in the quarters where will your loyalty lie, i carry a  green Nigerian passport not a black Ghanian's passport.
keep deceiving yourself, a green Naija passport would land  you into multiple interrogation posts when traveling overseas, while a Ghanian passport would be hitch-free.

REFS ARE KILLING THIS GAME. Time to bring WC games  in line with US games. Let crucial calls be reviewable. This was a  beautifully scored goal

sounds like a nollywood movie

all of a sudden Jibril Aminu who took millions in brides from Seimens is now an authoritative figure on credibility and morality.

Stop being a disingenuous oaf. The Keynesian argument is that a recession, irrespective of severity, is a fall in aggregate demand which can be remedied by fiscal stimulus.

Is your argument now that the US could not have recovered from the ‘08 recession without fiscal stimulus? I think that view is now largely discredited
Comparing this great recession to  IT's burst in 2001 is pure intellectual dishonesty. How many banks failed in 2001 as result of 01 recession and how many banks failed in 07 -08 recession. What  was unemployment rate in 2001 and what was unemployment rate in 2008-09

Your point is that a hypothetical scenario is the same as  a real life scenario.  It was the neoclassical hawks who sold us the ideas of bailout and stimulus. Why did  they not let what they learned from economic textbooks play out?   What's NABE position on bank bailout? How did it help banks and what percentage of the stimulus has been expended in relation to economic growth outcomes?
These were their positions in 2008-09, compare  it with their position in 2010.  It makes you wonder if they thought  of economic as  chemistry.

From UK's budget, there is a VAT increase while this will be suicidal for any politician from either of political spectrum in the U.S. Also bear in mind that the UK is playing catch up with  welfare reform  because Clinton and Congress took care of this in 1996. So UK is late in the game.

Rescued the economy indeed. I suppose it's the same way Bush rescued the economy from the 2001 recession. . . . that is until it all fell apart due to excessive credit growth which had been pumped in to recover from the recession.

01 recession should now be compared with 07-08 recession? Intellectually dishonesty is what we really do not need to drive home our points.
Let me rephrase my question why didn't neoclassical hawks implement a contractionary fiscal policy when they had the mandate to do so?

Nigeria is a country that thrives on division. If u ve got a BSc, u will be told that it has to be a first class and not from a state university. They will say that 2.1 in federal universities is equal to first class in first class in state universities. Now with a BSc, you will be told there are no jobs because of your school and discipline. If u have got a first class from one of their so called good schools, you will be told that you are over qualified and threat to the management.
Bottom line is that there are no jobs and Nigeria is a country that has thrived on segregation/division to avoid addressing her many problems- from rotational presidency, to quota system,fed unis vs state unis, HND vs BSc , Muslims vs Christians, south vs North etc

Sharp contrast with the clueless Obama administration which is seemingly sworn to stacking up debt perhaps in the hope that the day of reckoning will arrive long after they have left office
How could Cameron and co would have done during the recession? It's easier to say that Obama is clueless after he has rescued the economy. Any historical precedent where a govt ran  a contractionary fiscal policy  and the economy came out of a recession?

what would be considered indecent dressing for men?

Jesus walking on water is an event recorded in the Holy Bible  But we know today that this is impossible unless he walked on ice?  It takes a leap of faith to believe the bible becuase of its paradoxes according to- Kierkergaard. Juju does not even work, but works for  folks who con people with its efficacy

what's this coach's romance with Yakubu?

can someone tell this guy to shut up and play. Pride does not play football, skills do.

Maybe they should consult Oba of Benin to curse them. When human science fails, juju is there to help.
