How is it so

timbros:
The thing tire me no be small.

All the players were all passionate to pose with the trophy alongside their country men and those ones not having same country men in the squad posing with the trophy alone proudly representing their beloved country.

But our John Mikel Obi was no where to be found. SMH.

timbros:
But Mikel fall hand sha...

Matic kit up and joined his teammates to collect medal and celebrate but Mikel just disappeared.

Has anyone noticed that Mikel doesn't fly the green white green flag anytime Chelsea win a trophy?

The Brazilians no dey play with their flag o.

It depicts the patriotism in them which Mikel is lacking.

Yustash001:
The young courtois really saved some glaring chances.....zouma still lack experience though...

He shows promising traits and that he can be trusted against other quality teams.

AirborneLacer:
Brendan has done a great job to be honest.

This team dictates the tempo of the game and all you could do is play catch up.

The likes of Sterling, Coutinho and Markovic are fast players, they're no doubt benefitting from the system. Gerrard and Lucas have given them the license to move upfield and go cause some serious havoc.

Poor finishing is the only thing letting down their good work. They need a potent striker.

Spot on....

Pace is what this Liverpool team have in abundance and they are using big time.

We are finding it difficult to match them in this act.

CFCfan:
It shouldn't be this way. The away goal should count only during regulation time (90 mins); it shouldn't be applied only in Extra time

I am surprise as well but it seems that is what the rule stipulates.

Never knew an away goal count in this competition. Saw this on the Chelsea website:

"Chelsea hold a marginal advantage
from the first leg draw by dint of
scoring an away goal. That will double in value after
extra time (if required), so Liverpool
know they must score tonight or they
are going out".

"Should the aggregate scores be level
after 90 minutes, extra time will be
played. The away goals rule will only
count at the end of the extra 30
minutes. A 1-1 draw after extra time
is the only scoreline that will result in
a penalty shoot-out".

Yustash001:
I watched the video of that game.....mehn cech should save that first goal jare.....and the third goal,the nigga is almost out of the box 16...

I will only put a blame on him for the first goal but the other three are out of his reach and the fault of the defence.

From Marco Reus to Juan Cuadrado and none is becoming a reality yet 7 days to the close of the winter transfer.

Tval:
Cuadrado was at anfield today.

Prove or I don't bliv it

Keky:
Where can I join this campaign against Chelsea?

You can do yours individually from one BRT to another

maclatunji:

Votes were made on the special voting posts which have now been hidden.


Therefore, for the purpose of this debate as a competition, the women's team are hereby declared as the winners. Congratulations to them.

However, in reality we are all winners because we have tackled and continue to tackle an important issue which is key in the life of the overwhelming majority of most individuals- getting married.

This debate is by no means exhaustive and I am sure every single and even married person that has read this debate has learnt a few things and now know of more things they might need to change about themselves.

For those Muslim singles who are really looking to get married and are having serious challenges with finding the "right one", you might be interested in using the Muslim Singles Matching Service (MSMS) https://www.nairaland.com/1935933/muslim-singles-matching-service-msms. If you were impressed by the organisation and delivery of this debate, know that a large part of the people behind the MSMS have also helped to conceptualise and organise it. Hopefully, you will give our service a trial.

The thread will now be reopened for the discussion to continue.

I pray Almighty Allah (SWT) continue to strengthen you all and never to forsake you for this laudable debate.

Barakallahu fikum

EMPRESS KI

Two Communities, Ozoro and Oleh in Delta
state, decided to hold a drinking competition.
A week to the competition, Ozoro community
sent a delegate to Oleh, to confirm if the
competition will still hold. When the guy that
was the delegate got there, the people of Oleh
brought 20 litres of their strongest Ogogoro
(Local Gin) as Kola. The guy asked; ``Can i
test it?``

The people said; ``Go ahead``. The guy
drank and finished the whole 20 litres and
said; This is okay, where is the main drink??
The People of Oleh shouted; ``Come o, are
you among the competitors??``The guy
replied; ``No, i did not qualify!!!``

Full Text of the Acceptance speech by General
Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR Presidential Candidate
of the All Progressives Congress

Time to rebuild Nigeria

The National Chairman of the All Progressives
Congress

National leaders of the APC

Members of the National Executive Council of
the APC

Your Excellencies, State Governors

Distinguished Senators

Honourable Members of the House of
Representatives and Assemblies

The Chairman and Members of the Convention
Committee

State and Local Government Chairmen of the APC

Distinguished Delegates

Members of the Press

Invited Guests

Ladies and Gentlemen

acceptance:

1. First of all, I wish to express my gratitude to
the Chairman and members of the Convention
Committee for planning and conducting a hitch-
free convention. The same appreciation goes to
the chairmen of National and State Executive
Councils of our party. Thank you very much for
doing an excellent job.

2. I would like to pay tribute to Chief Bisi Akande
the first chairman of APC and his National
Executive for managing the party in its early
stages.

3. I also wish to commend Lagos State
Government and state party for hosting this
convention. Time was when people feared to
come to Lagos. Today, Lagos is the cleanest and
dare I say safest city in Nigeria. This
achievement is due to the leadership and
strength of purpose of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and
Chief Babatunde Fashola the two Governors
since 1999 and their team of professionals for
this wonderful transformation Nigeria greets
you!

4. The outcome of the presidential primaries of
the All Progressives Congress is a
demonstration of democracy at work. It is
testimony to the fact that democracy as a
concept is greater than the interests of
individuals in a free and functional political
system. What has just happened is not about
winning or losing but about the triumph of
liberty, freedom of choice and association, which
are hallmarks of democracy.

5. To my fellow contestants; Alhaji Atiku
Abubakar, Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,
Owelle Rochas Okorocha and Mr. Sam Nda Isaiah,
I wish to thank you for putting up a good fight.
The keenly contested primaries we just had will
help to strengthen our party and democracy, and
ultimately send our message to Nigerian voters
in the impending elections.

6. To you all, I pay my absolute compliments and
congratulate you on the success of your
respective campaigns. I extend my gratitude to
you all for accepting the outcome of this
convention and agreeing to support my
candidature as we move forward. I shall meet
with you all in the coming days to fashion out
how we shall confront the challenge ahead.

7. My dear fellow countrymen and women, it is
with a deep sense of humility that I stand before
you today to accept the nomination of my party,
the All Progressives Congress to be its
candidate and flag-bearer in 2015 presidential
elections.

8. My nomination is not because I am better
than any of the other contestants. I see it as a
tribute and mark of confidence to carry the
torch as we all join hands to rescue our dear
country Nigeria, from those who have led us
into the current state of insecurity, poverty,
sectarian divide and hopelessness among our
people.

9. I stand before you today to ask that you join
me in a common cause. My call to you is not to
realise the personal fulfilment of one man. This
Common Cause is nothing less than the love for
our nation and concern for its present condition.
And a resolve to make things better for Nigeria.

10. What I say today is for all Nigerians:
Christian and Muslim, Southern and Northern,
rich and poor, young and old, man and woman.
We are all citizens of Nigeria. There is no
dividing line among us that I care to honour.
Either we advance as one or fail altogether.

11. My choice and my colleagues choice and wish
is that we progress together. Preserving the
nation’s future is a scared obligation to all of us
in this party. Leaders should be wholly
committed to fulfilling this obligation otherwise
they have no business being leaders.

12. Sadly, the current administration does not
believe in this obligation. By their actions they
are leading us to calamity.

13. At International Conferences, the Nigerian
delegation is usually among the largest but at
the same time the least effective. Our president
should have the status and the voice of Africa's
largest nation. But in political influence we are
among the weakest.

14. Shall we at home continue to live in a
condition where the Power Holding Company and
its successors seem only to have the power to
hold us in darkness?

15. Shall we continue in a situation where 250 of
our daughters have been abducted and the
government has been unable to rescue them or
provide credible information about what steps
they are taking?

16. Shall we live in a nation where several
people were trampled to death in search of jobs
in a stadium and yet no one has taken
responsibility for the tragedy?

17. Shall we live in a nation where the ranks of
the poor swell and their poverty increase while
the consorts of the powerful enjoy
unprecedented wealth? The lives of the poor are
bled dry while those of the powerful soak in
excessive abundance.

18. My answers to these questions are “No, No,
No, No!”

19. It is time to close this demeaning chapter in
our nation’s history.

20. I ask that you join this effort, not for me,
but to establish a better land for all of us.

21. I understand and accept the hard challenge
ahead. When all is said and done, let it be
written that Muhammadu Buhari gave his all for
this nation.

22. As such, I make these five pledges regarding
the government if we are elected next February;

a. We will govern Nigeria honestly, in accordance
with the constitution.

b. We will strive to secure the country and
efficiently manage the economy.

c. We will strive to attack poverty through
broadly-shared economic growth and attacking
corruption through impartial application of the
law.

d. We will tolerate no religious, regional, ethnic
or gender bias in our government.

e. We will return Nigeria to a position of
international respect through patriotic foreign
policy.

f. We will choose the best Nigerians for the right
jobs.

23. Our government will be committed to the
cause of the common man. Whether you are a
Christian from Bayelsa State or a Muslim from
Katsina State, you are first and foremost a
Nigerian in my eyes. I shall treat you equally as
my people, my national family, my brothers and
sisters. There can be no genuine love of our
country without loving all its people in our
diversity.

24. Just as APC stands as a new party for a new
Nigeria, our government will institute new
policies to realise the new Nigeria.

25. We shall institute just policies that afford
people the dignity of work and pay them a living
wage for their sweat and toil. We intend to do
this by instituting a national industrial policy,
coupled with a national employment directive,
that together shall revive and expand our
manufacturing sector, creating jobs for our
urban population and decreasing our reliance on
expensive foreign imports.

26. We shall implement a national infrastructure
master plan that will provide construction and
related jobs across the land. Furthermore, by
improving our transportation infrastructure
through road, rail and port construction we
expand the outer bounds of economic growth as
no economy can grow beyond the capacity of its
infrastructure.

27. Agriculture remains the backbone of the
economy. Our government, when elected, will
establish an agricultural policy that provides
farmers a dignified living through improved
inputs, improved extension services, access to
credit and price support mechanisms.

28. On corruption, the government will enhance
EFCC's powers to investigate independently.
Moreover, we intend to plug the holes in NNPC
accounting. There will no longer be two sets of
books, one for public consumption and another
for insiders who profit from this slick fraud. In
an APC government, the public will know how
much NNPC makes and where all the money
goes.

29. No longer shall illegal flows of massive sums
leave these shores to finance other economies.
While our people languish in poverty, we
effectively give financial aid to nations that is
not justified. I am sick of this. It must stop. The
money saved will finance jobs, health care and
the provision of social safety net for the needy,
weak and vulnerable of our land.

30. We will be a compassionate government, for
out of compassion arises the truest forms of
wealth and progress a society can attain. We
shall open the door to tertiary education to
excellent students who otherwise could not
afford it. Pregnant and poor women and children
shall be entitled to basic health care.

31. This is a Nigeria that I envisage but it is a
far cry from the Nigeria that is now. Change is
imperative if we are to avoid the impending
national failure. Poor leadership placed us in the
ditch. Continuation of poor leadership will only
dig a deeper trench for all of us to fall in.

32. Let us join hands in progressive union to pull
each other and the nation from the abyss.

33. I pledge to do my utmost to make this
happen but cannot do it alone. I need your
support. I need your help to become President
of Nigeria so that government may come to
serve you, so that it may bring relief to the
broken and weary among us and so that it may
usher in a new Nigeria meant for us all, a Nigeria
that is the birthright of everyone but the
exclusive possession of no one.

God bless you.

God bless our fatherland – Nigeria

Thank you.

at all levels to ensure that the PDP is defeated,
so Nigerians can have real change.
"I will hand over to Gen. Buhari for his
review and possible implementation my policy
document which was developed in line with
