lomzy1: RVP must score a brace today by God's grace. Amen. Its been long he scored.

A perfect valentine gift for Mukina.

Thank you for your great support and contribution to our beautiful game so far during this Afcon. We all have mixed feelings, high and low, happiness and sadness, hope and despair. But at the end it will be one winner -- the football that brought us together.
Who expected Ivory Coast, Cameroon our greatest hope in the coming World Cup in African soil after hundred years to go out of the Afcon in the first round?

In the eve of Italy world cup in 1990, Cameroon was kick out of the Afcon in the first round. It was a general outcry in Cameroon and Africa. Cameroon went to the World Cup, beat the mighty Argentina with the likes of Diego Maradona, Batista and Buruchaga to reach the quarterfinal for the first time in African football history. Please don't read too much in the performance of our various teams in the Afcon. Egypte that dominate the continental show piece fails so often to make it on the world stage.

The Africa Cup of Nations is dying a slow and painful death. CAF is killing the game. Don't be surprised in the near future if our top stars like Eto'o, Drogba, Essien, Ziani don't show up for the biggest celebration of African football because of CAF’s insistence to stage the Afcon every two years.

After 50 years of existence CAF is the only continental football body whose marketing rights are exclusive to a non African company called Sport Five, a French owned company. Our nations spend a fortune to prepare their respective country for the biennial showpiece. For example Ivory Coast spend about $4 millions (US) to prepare The Elephants for this Afcon. Nigeria spent at least double that amount. When you win the trophy in Angola you will not get more than half a million US dollars.

You win the South African professional league you get a cheque of more than a million US dollars. To mention two countries that participated in the Afcon, but the fans at home could not watch their team in the national television because CAF is selling the TV rights through its agent to the tune of almost two millions US dollars. A big country like Nigeria will be charged at lest double.

For the FIFA World Cup each African country pays less than half a million US dollars for the TV rights. Where is CAF putting all this moneyhuh Please help me find out.

People are talking of team like Ivory Coast not performing well at the Afcon. When Drogba earn the Afcon prize money in a week and is preparing to play in the biggest stage of world football in June 2010 in South Africa. What will motivate him to take unnecessary risk to have his leg broken by a local league Egyptian player?

The same apply to all the players trading in top league in Europe. Yaya Toure might not win the Afcon, but when he wins the Spanish La Liga, the European champion's league, the club World Cup. Can you compare those honours with the Afcon? In terms of financial returns, in terms of glory, in terms of endorsement, in terms of fame, winning any trophy in Europe will give you more credit than the Afcon.

Today any sport is business and a bread basket for everybody involved in it. No fan or supporter access to any game for free. Why is CAF not putting the money where their mouth is and wants these hard working players earning their money in a very difficult and hostile environment to sacrifice and come every two years to risk their future and enrich few greedy officials in the name of the beautiful game we love? The time has come for us to stand as one man and make sure CAF don't burry our Afcon.

Honestly speaking the excitement the continent is awaiting is not this boring and poorly managed Afcon that CAF uses to give some credibility and respectability to some African dictators that ruined our continent, the World Cup in land of freedom, peace, milk and honey called South Africa.

Jarus: The Cape Verde they met actually stretched them. They won by 2 late goals. That was when their yansh was being exposed.

kayceekleans: Had my first gate crashing 2day...
I gate crashed to the Nigeria Bottling Company aptitude test 2day in Abuja, there were more than 50 of us who gate crashed, the test cordinator was so kind and ready to allow all of us participate in the exam but the question papers remaining were just 22 so he collected all our CVs screened them and called only 22 of us... thank God I was among the 22 people... the only challenge was that we were given only 35 minutes as against 50 minutes that the invited participants wrote the test...

Very good bad guy. I wish you the best of luck.

Poor Gyan.

Reporting for duty. . . . . .

Its no secret that Gaye has issues with Hayatou. He was so vocal during the post match analysis that Charles was forced to cut him short on more than one occasion. Gaye never agreed that Zambia deserved to win Ivory Coast in the 2012 AFCON and he stuck to his opinion whenever the issue was raised up.

Whether Kalusha likes it or not,that penalty was a very soft one and the officiating in this year's AFCON has been a phucking disgrace(apologies to D.Drogba).

The lady on the far left looks like Kate Henshaw

Fhemmmy: Like some people have advised and for a place like Ilorin:
With budget within 800K Naira . . . Orobo (1992 - 1996 ) Camry ; But if you have like 1.5M Naira to spare . . . Big Daddy (2002 - 2006 ) Shape.
Good luck

Sharp man.

honestivo: But som of d interview hv d list of thos bn invitd

1.Not all of the people invited show up at the end of the day.

2. There are instances where people are invited but their names do not show up on the list.

arbitrage: So did she pay the N500k she mentioned to you here and what of the remainder since that August date in Abuja? She sounded like the business went bad that made it difficult for her to pay you back as promised. But her low side is not communicating again since then nor paying back the remainder (or is it all?).

Immediately I received the mail, I gave her the option of paying in installments.

She hasn't refunded one kobo.

I have a friend that gatecrashed an interview. He got to know about the interview by 5a.m and was there 8a.m prompt. It was a batch thing and since he came so early,he was the first to enter and he nailed the job. Even when they said his name wasn't on Batch A,he calmly told the panelists he had to travel back to his base and that was why he came early.

In September, I decided to intimate Inspired M of my business transaction with Wunmi Allen. He said he hadn't heard from her for sometime and advised me to open a thread on Nairaland. I also contacted tushbobo who said she was owing him for some work he did for her and that they were still communicating(with decreased frequency). I explained the situation to him and he said he would try talk to her. Eventually, she replied him and he sent this mail to me.

She responded.I think she s just really tied down with so many things.At this point it has led to arguments and affected the relationship I have with her.

He also advised me to open a thread.
