United defensive crisis deepens ahead of Inter tie

By Soccernet staff

February 23, 2009

Manchester United's injury crisis has deepened ahead of their Champions League last 16 first-leg tie against Inter Milan at the San Siro, as Brazilian defender Rafael Da Silva failed to board the team's flight to Italy.

The teenager reportedly injured himself during the 2-1 win against Blackburn at Old Trafford on Saturday, though the nature of the problem is not known.

While Nemanja Vidic is suspended and England duo Gary Neville and Wes Brown both ruled out through injury, there are also doubts over the fitness of John O'Shea and Jonny Evans, although they both boarded the flight.

The six United defenders who have travelled to Milan are: Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra, O'Shea, Evans, Fabio Da Silva (Rafael's twin) and Richard Eckersley.

While the fitness of O'Shea and Evans cannot be guaranteed, the fact they were able to make the journey suggested Ferguson is optimistic he will be able to call on one of them.

Darren Fletcher is also available, should Ferguson require him, while Michael Carrick has been tipped to slot into defence if he is needed.

The midfielder believes that despite the problems, United should still overcome Jose Mourinho's men.

''Inter are as tough an opponent as we could get right now,'' said Carrick. ''They are in good form at the top of their league.

''We are both probably amongst the top four or five in Europe at the moment but that is what the Champions League is all about. You have to defeat the best if you want to win it.''

Carrick watched on last week as Inter overcame a Milan side including David Beckham in the derby at the San Siro, although that did not come as a surprise.

''Inter were good but we know what to expect anyway,'' he said. ''Going to the San Siro to play Inter is a massive game and a big test for us. Over the past two years we have been very consistent in the Champions League.

''We have not suffered any defeats since the last time we went to the San Siro and hopefully we can keep that run going.''

Mr Capable got the charisma though but he doesn't have the voice.

try comparing D'banj to the Blessed Idibia One.

you should go down to V.I and tel them off.dey don start to dey f up.if not sey i gbadun their download speed,i 4 join u ontop the MTN-pc suite internet service.

dhtml:
So this is a scam abi? i want to be sure before i delete this thread. Does anybody have any better suggestion?
If the thread is useful and it is not a scam, then i will leave it. My hand is already on the delete button.

this thread is not a scam.only that the poster failed to mention that the night plan has a 3GB download limit.

@lynxmoon
hows the download speed compared to izap?

guy,coool down naaa

i guess they're doing maintainance or something.i had the same problem too.

u know sey Naija things always dey mess up anytime,anywhere,anyhow.no mind them jare

i got a couple of friends who had their cards blocked a week ago and they had to cough out 5ton to unblock them through the back door.they were warned not to use torrent engines again.

i still use utorrent sha but never for downloading of films cos i think that's what got them in trouble in the first place.why should they block cards without informing the users?doesn't make sense to me at all.they should know that majority of their subscribers are hooked to them because we're downlaoding machines and their platform provides unlimited downloads.

@lynxmoon
i think you should take my suggestion.those guys at toyin street are pure buffons who will only succeed in wasting your time.if you want to solve the problem,go to their Bishop Kale office in Victoria Island and your problem will be rectified within minutes.

i had a problem reactivating my account last week.i called customer care and they told me to mail my transaction information to internet@starcomms.com with a scanned copy of your deposit slip.

worked fine but i don't see why i have to go through all this pain just to get my money's worth.

i no know sey mugus still plenty for this country

basic truth - majority of the 3rders in Naija were unserious people who didn't dig the rigors of the tertiary institutions.if you grow through their SSCE certificate,you will discover that they were average students in secondary school.it is only when they realise the discrimination placed on this degree by the Nigerian system that they TRY to turn their destiny for the better by re-packaging themselves.most times often than not,they fail and settle for what comes with the hopeless degree.

punchline - if other degree holders i.e 1sters and 2nders can have positive thinking of creating wealth like the 3rders,Nigeria will be one of the wealthiest countries in terms of human resources and management.

Credit Crunch
Britain To Repatriate 800 Nigerian
From Tunde Oyedoyin, London

APPARENTLY feeling the impact of the global credit crunch and the increase in crime among her residents, the United Kingdom government is desperate to repatriate over 800 Nigerian prisoners serving various jail terms for sex, drug, immigration and other minor offences in various British prisons.

Consequently, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) invited some Nigerian lawmakers and the Controller of the Nigerian Prisons to London last week with the sole aim of hastening the exchange process.

But despite the pressure from their hosts, the five-man delegation resisted being pressured to act until the legal framework was in place.

Though The Guardian learnt that there was a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and ongoing discussions for the past two years, the Nigerian side, led by Senate Olalekan Mustapha (Ogun East), was not ready to be rushed into the exercise, citing the amendment of the Prison Act, as one major hindrance.

There is also the fear that if the prisoners' rights are infringed, the two countries can be dragged before Human Rights organisations.

As Mustapha disclosed before leaving London at the weekend: "Our current law does not allow prisoners, who are Nigerians, to be sent home except they complete their terms.

"So, we want to see if that Act can be amended. Otherwise, if it is done, it becomes an illegality and the prisoners can then take either the Nigerian government - that is accepting them - or the British government - that is sending them away - to court.

"But when we get home, we're going to look into how it (Prison Act) can be amended."

The Chairman, House of Representatives' Sub-committee on Immigration, Warman Ogoniba (from Yenagoa/Kolokuma/Opokuma Federal Constituency in Bayelsa State), was part of the delegation to London.

He confirmed to The Guardian that the Nigerian delegation resisted the pressure being put on them to hasten the prisoners' exchange.

He said: "We're here on the invitation of the FCO, and it's in respect of the Prisoners Transfer Agreement between Nigeria and Britain.

"There's already a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the two countries. But before it can become an instrument of law, the House must pass a bill. We need to look at the issues.

"For now, there's no Bill before either the Senate or the Lower House."

Having met with British Ministers and also holding meetings with the United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA), among others, the British side expressed their willingness to send the Nigerian prisoners away.

"But we are saying it is wrong to just send them home because the Executive is yet to introduce the Bill," Ogoniba said.

On when the Bill would be passed, he said: "Well, it's not a private Bill, it's a government one. But when it comes to the House, we'll look at it and when it eventually comes to the committee stage, we will do a public hearing to see what Nigerian people want us to adopt."

Addressing the issue further, Mustapha, who's the chairman, Senate Committee on Interior, stated that; "before you can be moved from where you're serving, you must accept to be moved because that's the right of the prisoner."

Another condition is; "if the law that operates in the country does not allow the prisoners to be sent home before the expiration of their jail term," then, they will have to finish their terms where they committed the offences.

On why the British government wants to send the prisoners back, Mustapha said, "apparently, it must be for economic reasons. We visited some of their prisons and almost all of them are filled to capacity."

Moreover, "they complained that people still continue to commit crime. That means if prisoners are not exchanged across borders in the next few months, British prisons will no longer be able to accommodate their prisoners."

Ogoniba also affirmed this, saying, "what is happening now is that there's a stretch on British facilities and the British people are very agitated now because, not only are British prisons nearing their capacities, but the money their government is spending on foreign prisoners is enormous."

"So, they're thinking of sending them to their various countries to finish their terms there."

Asked if there are other hindrances apart from the legal framework, Mustapha answered in the affirmative.

His words: "There're some other issues involved because, if you look at the conditions of British prisons, it's far better than the conditions of prisons back home (in Nigeria).

"So, we also are afraid of bringing them back to such prisons at home so that they don't come home and cause some kind of revolution there.

"These are some of the factors we're considering before actions can be taken."

Eight prisoners enrol for NOUN programmes
By Sesan Olufowobi
Published: Saturday, 21 Feb 2009

The Nigerian Prisons Service has opened study centres inside its prisons for eight of its inmates that got admission into the National Open University of Nigeria.

Saturday Punch gathered that one study centre was opened at the Ikoyi Prison, while two were located inside Kirikiri Prison to cater for those in the Minimum and Maximum prisons respectively.

In the past, the NPS had to plead for amnesty for its inmates that got admission into Nigerian universities through the Joint Admission Matriculation Board. That was why only those who had one or two years to end their prison terms were allowed to write the matriculation examination.

However, it was gathered that the Prison authorities decided to help willing and qualified inmates to apply for NOUN programmes since they would not need to study outside the prison.

A senior official of the NPS, Lagos State Command, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not the official spokesman of the command, told our correspondent that eight of the inmates were students of NOUN.

“They are in science and the social sciences. I cannot tell you the particular courses for now,” he said.

Further investigations revealed that the Ikoyi Prison study centre has only two students who have about 10 years to finish their prison terms. Three inmates of the minimum and medium and three inmates of the maximum prison are using the centre.

It was discovered that only prisoners on death row and those sentenced for life are in the maximum prison. But the official said the authorities allowed them to go to school in order to get their mind off their plight.

“Don’t forget that some of them could still be pardoned. If the person had his degree by then, he could find a job and start his life all over again. Some of the inmates are even gunning for Ph.D,” he said.

However, it was also learnt that the centres might be unified and reduced to one. A General Overseer of a pentecostal church is currently equipping the proposed centre with modern IT gadgets. “By the time it is finished, no other study centre in Nigeria will beat it,” our source said.

The spokesman of the NPS in Lagos State , Ope Fatinikun, confirmed the establishment of the NOUN centres in the prisons, describing it as a good thing. He also confirmed that eight students used the centres, adding that more would still join them.
