Please is Pretty Little Liars a show for girls.... cuz it sounds a bit girlish

Girls tend to like high school movies more. It's kinda like Gossip Girl.

LagosEconomist:
I repeat, we are good enough to beat any team in this tournament, and will likely win it and get the Olympic ticket.

Angola is not the US, and will lose to this Nigerian team by double figures if they are unlucky enough to cross our path.

The fact that we did not get it right in the past and undeperformed does not mean you should stay stuck to those standards.

Ill quote this for posterity. I hope you're right.

CFCfan:
They need to knock down the stadium and construct a 40,000 seater football-specific arena; which befits their status as one of the elite clubs in Africa

Isn't there a way they couls renovate and add more seats to the stadium as opposed to knocking the entire stadium down. If they're going to need a new stadium then they can as well leave this one and find a new ground to construct a new befitting stadium. It's a shame that a club like Enyimba is sometimes made to play continental football in Abuja because of the bad state of their stadium.

LagosEconomist:
We are good enough to beat any team in the tournament and can't be scared.

You have to beat the best to be the best, and there is only one goal here. Win and get the Olympic ticket.

If it makes you feel better, Angola will likely be first or second in group B, and will face the team that is third or fourth in our group, so we will probably not meet till the latter stages of the tournament.

The last time i heard this statement was just before the US basketball team broke a world record and we were the victim. Angola still boasts of the best team in Africa. It's good to know that we'll not be meeting them just yet.

successinlife:
good question,we are likely to play Angola,Senegal or Egypt if we qualify from our group,am sure we will qualify from the group,our game against Tunisia would give me a clear picture of our chances inthis tournament.

We must try to avoid Angola until the semis or final.

Is Angola in this competition?

No be today Enyimba begin begin dey get bad pitch. Their pitch is easily one of the worst in the country. I don't know what it will take them to do some upgrades t the stadium.

I thought they they said that the piranhas still alive are not dangerous as those depicted in the movie of the same name.

When other roads no good, na psychiatric road you want make dem do?

[color=crimson]You mean to tell me Ladi by Phyno, Olamide and Lil' Kesh is not on this list?

Old archaic men running the entertainment affairs of the country like its 1965.

Mtcheeeew.[/color]

They just want to be seen as working. Many of them have never come across these songs before. They just pick few songs that they have heard about and use them as scape goats.

That Phyno's yayo no be here oo

freecocoa:

freecocoa:
Devious maids sha, I'm so in love with the series.

I have more authentic statistics from the NYSC mobilisation for each state of Nigeria which differs in content from what was declared by the poster

Were the same variables used?

Lailai Ikeji is most likely using WordPress as that's what she was using the last time I checked.

Literacy is the Ability to read and Write in any Language.
does not have to be English... Have that at the back of your mind.

That being said, I do believe there are some states where young people within a certain age bracket are able to do basic reading and writing in English, at levels up to 90% You don't have to be Achebe, Ngugi or Soyinka to be defined as being literate.
Literacy rate in Nigeria hovers at around 60%, because some very populous northern states have abysmally low rates.
But then, this is Youth literacy, not all round literacy. So, one would expect it to be higher. Think about it.

Of course, the north is responsible for the 60% figure. If you remove the north, I will put the figure at 70% - 80%.

BTW, as it pertains to the definition of literacy, we are all aware that there is no definite definition. Not even the popular one that defines literacy as being able to read suffices. Since, we are basing this on education then I can we can define it as anyone who has finished a secondary education.

Are my eyes deceiving me? I had to look at the literacy rates and I'm like "Does any state or region in Nigeria have up to 90% youth literacy rate?" There's no way that that is possible. I will put the Nigerian youth literacy at 60%.

kettykings:
This report is totally fallacious and full of misfires and deliberately falsified data

Why do you think so. State your reasons, only then can we learn from each other.

ArodewilliamsT:
While complaing about Oyo dragging SW down. Did you extrapolate the sizeable non-indigenous population of Lagos who are mainly of SE/SS origin and educated. Will you objectively concede that their population also helped to raise the SW literacy average?

I would think that the findings were done using state of origin as opposed to state of residence.

I think the stats is close to the truth but does not highlight who goes to school in terms of volume.

With he pictures of Luanda that ive seen, i'm wondering where Angola got the guts to build some an ambitious city. Paris of Africa indeed.

deybholar:
I plan to visit the beautiful island of Seychelles or Maldives by my birthday in September. Is there anyone here planning to do same around that time? Please holla.
NB: I am not looking for anyone to lay my bills on as I would handle that myself....just don't want it to be completely boring in a place I have no one and never visited before.

Thanks

While i was in Mauritius which is one of he archipelagos on ha part of he Indian ocean, i was supposed to visit the Seychelles and Reunion island but something came and couldn't. I heard is a breathtaking island just like Mauritius or even better. From he pictures i see of Mahe, it's truely worth visiting.

That firs picture is he Ghanian version of Taj Mahal. Nice pictures.

You just know a country that is serious by the actions that they take. When last did anyone apologize to Nigeria?

Chartey:
Are you saying there's a level playing ground for all players no matter where they come from even if they have the same technical abilities? Are you telling me Iheanacho and Raheem Sterling have had equal opportunities? Are you telling me if Ayew was argentine he wouldn't have had an easier Road? He has even had a relatively easier one riding on the reputation of his father but he still worked very hard for an u20 world cup winning captain.

A raheem sterling will definitely have it easier than an Iheanacho just because he is from England and is readily assesible to scouts, coaches and team despite the fact that Iheanacho has proven himself in the under age football competition. However, the only reason an Argentine will have it easier than an African is owing to technicality according to Airmark. We have good players but we don' necessarily have players who can fit into top teams.

Chartey:
Not exactly.

So, we wouldn't say it's because of he law because we have so many foreign players playing in those top leagues. Nigerian players just seem not to be up to scratch or are not well evaluated.

ifywise:
Ok. Another pressing issue is web hosting. Must I host my blog in a web hosting site.
What if I don't host my blog at all? what will happen to it?

You can start wih a free blog hosted by either or Blogger. But it will be a customized domain like ifywise.. Bu if you intend to get a cusomized domain then you have to pay. It's not expensive though.

Chartey:
It's not really about technical issues. It's the laws that make it very hard for African players to get clubs in the big leagues. Some laws are just silly like a player needing an amount of international caps before signing for a team in the EPL and others. Last week 30 goals were scored in the EPL, Africans scored 10 of those goals and South Americans scored only 3 yet players from S/America have a far easier road to big clubs than African players.

Does the law not also apply to South Americans?

airmark:
Most did nt go to top clubs immediately they left Africa. They paid their dues too. Besides, Dnipro was 3rd in Ukraine last season and played Europa league cup final against sevilla last May. They are not doing badly like that.

I'm no in anyway downplaying Dnipro but they are obviously not an elite club in Europe. We should have our players playing for the top 4 clubs in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain and not the 3rd club in Ukraine. Something is definitely wrong somewhere and i want to believe it has something to do with the agents that manage these players.

airmark:
It's not that easy to sign top team and break into first team for Africans like that. European football is very technical and our players needs a lot to learn before they could fit in. The competition is rife there.

What about players from Ivory coast, Cameroon and Ghana that are playing first team football for top teams in Europe. Why do our players always settle for less or are our players not good enough?

This is what scares me about America. They talk of fundamental human right yet I'm forced to do what I don't want.
