sandee575: It is only in Nigerian airports that you will see toilet cleaners permanently positioned inside the toilets and patronising the users for tips while offering such services as issuing toilet paper, water bottles etc. The gender doesnt even matter as women are to be found in male toilets watching as the guys are facing the urinals and shaking their thing. You never go club for europe be that. |

THREE RETURN FOR WEST HAM Posted on: Fri 18 Dec 2009 Didier Drogba, Joe Cole and Ricardo Carvalho will all return to the starting line-up against West Ham on Sunday, says manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The Italian is able to welcome his top scorer back after Drogba sat out Wednesday's 2-1 win against Portsmouth, while Cole and Carvalho are back in after being rested in midweek.
'I don't want to change a lot of things about the next game, Carvalho returns to play and I have to take a decision on midfield,' Ancelotti said. 'Mikel or Ballack I want to do recovery and Joe Cole will return to play.
'Drogba is good, he trained yesterday and today is fit and he will be ready for Sunday. Alex didn't train today but will train tomorrow and the other players stay well. For Sunday we also have Sturridge, who is doing a very good job, two fantastic weeks in training, and will be ready to play.'
Missing however is Michael Essien, whose hamstring injury looks likely to rule him out of Chelsea action until as late as the end of January, owing to the African Cup of Nations which begins on January 10, with the Ghanaian likely to be called away by his country before the end of the year.
In other news, Ancelotti dismissed media speculation linking us with Atletico Madrid's Sergio Aguero.
'It is not true because we don't sign a contract with any players, at this moment we do not think to buy Aguero,' said the 50-year-old. http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~1909239,00.html |

13th month salary will get to everyone , the performers and non performers alike.
I guess this will encourage everyone to work harder.
But I think you should also repay hard work.
Give bonuses to those who outperformed others and that will make others work harder. |

mcnikes: Dat was in my 1st year in d university. I met dis girl nkechi at a bus-stop in owerri. As I was talkin 2 her, I had a very strong erection(my boy is above average), I was on plain trousers, so it was so apparent. I guess she noticed cos when I tried to end d discussion she kept on bringing up topics. . I finally turned and faced d gutter behind me 4 lyk 10mins, by the time I turned she had boarded a bus. Dat was the last I saw of her. That is called active toasting  |

Kobojunkie: I have NO dreams of becoming a member of the cheerleaders club. What I meant was that LAGOSIANS have mostly not been a part of the decision making process and so, I see no reason why they should be called in NOW. The man is simply dealing with his "God father". Last I checked, Tinubu helped the man get elected, and has been sort of a God father to the present governor. Abi una go talk say na lie now?
Instead, I believe the call should be for lagosians to take back government, make it theirs. Gotcha. However I think your last sentence relates to my understanding of the cheering in your first post . . lol One thing I have come to understand is that as far as the people are not standing for their votes to count, it will always take the godfathers to get to the position of governance. This means that even those who do not subscribe to Godfatherism will have to follow that route as a means to an end. I do not think the masses should let him stand alone because he is falling out with his Godfather in other to serve the masses. Don't you think that the detractors will think twice if the masses resist any such moves? That could count as a step towards taking back their government methink. |
