--Antonio Conte.
--Victor Moses
-- Bakayoko
-- Morata
-- Fabregas
--Rudiger
-- Alonso.
-- Djorou

Their services is no longer needed.
Modified: Any man u fan or Arsenal fan who will quote me. May Buhari become their mentor in life so failure will be their portion.

Do you even watch football.
Ta lo'n tun je Djorou? Hahaha

Look mate, a massive clear out like this will destabilise the team. But you can't judge the new players in their first season. I'm a Drogba fan, he was rubbish in his first season too.

27th of this month is my buffday. Wanted to take a trip to the ranch....alone! This one op warned against going alone.... Will I survive?

Happy birthday in advance.

olujastro:
No, the above mentioned companies plus Alakija's Famfa oil. Agbami made her the billionaire she is today.

Yeah I get. Respondent being CNL et co vs the accuser, Statoil.

olujastro:
That's the oil industry for you. While working offshore, I still didn't understand enough about these terms so I decided to do a masters in this field in Norway where Statoil hails from.
Oil and gas is not just about engineering alone, the oil field contract agreement types between the shareholders and the government are very different even in the same country. Some are Joint ventures like the Qua Iboe fields while most deep water fields in Nigeria are PSCs (Production Sharing Contracts).
Several oil companies come together to invest in and develop an oil field.
Statoil is a shareholder in Agbami oilfield just like Chevron and Petrobras. Chevron is the operator (runs the day to day production and maintenance of the field and platform). Major decisions made require inputs from all partners in the field.
Statoil has about 20% stake in Agbami but this ruling has reduced their stake to about 15%. So they have to pay the value of about 5% to the beneficiaries.

I thought CNL solely owned Agbami though. I think Statoil should have somehow invited independent experts to 'confirm' the initial resource reallocation results other than involving an arbitrator and finally getting a penalty.
--------
"At the same time, the tribunal rejected a request by the respondent that the award should have a retroactive effect from the date the final expert ruling was made."

Any lawyer here? As per the paragraph above, I believe the respondent here is Chevron.

Chase your dreams. Become successful. Your tribe won't matter to anyone.

Exactly - Liverpool have a potent attack (front 3) ... their 2nd half defense is probably their weakness.

I am not even thinking of FA Cup. I don'see these unmotivated players winning it and besides I would have traded for a '4th place trophy' over a FA Cup in a heart beat

I see your point but I think you should realise that this team isn't ready for the UCL yet unless we're just making up the numbers.

I'm okay with EL as long as we win it.

kinibigdeal:
My fear is liverpool defensive tolerance. On the Air, Ronaldo and Ramos is a big threat, at the wings whatever the formation they adopt you can't rule out the threat from Isco and Bale. I can only be confident of the Midfield if Emre Can is fit but with Hendenson I fear a work load from James Milner. Karius is also a factor

My friend, fears will be fears until they are validated. You see the lad that CFC replaced Matic with, he's so inconsistent, we're never sure of which version of him would turn up in a particular game. So you never can tell which version of those 'average' players will turn up.

I want Liverpool to win because of Salah but I'm smart enough to know you that need (recent) experience, luck and intelligent play to win the UCL.

kinibigdeal:
Bros, Liverpool can't win the UCL. I fear their attack and Midfield. The major target will be Arnold and Robertson

I really don't understand why people make definitive statements like this. It's okay if you 'feel' or 'think' Liverpool will lose.

----

In other news, we've 'jejely' taken our L. Come to think of it, if Newcastle played like this all season, they'd be in the top 6. Bunch of clowns.
Anyway, the only consolation would be to win the FA Cup. As long as Cahill and Bakayoko do not start, I'm fine. Ross had a decent game, only needs some matches to regain full fitness.

mmclatino:
The BiG Four dream is going astray .

It went astray the moment Chelsea lost to Spurs. Any decent CFC fan knows that already.

obafemee80:
H.T Liverpool cruising...

H.T Chelsea trailing...

Any hope for my CHELSEA ?

No doubt that Newcastle are our bogey but the performance of Bakayoko has been totally abysmal.

I don't know where this boy is going, but he's going places.

Amen!!!

Please keep searching for a job. I don't know what you're going through, but help is on the way. Just believe.

I'm stifling my laughter right now. Enough of the levity.

First of, please learn to type in a more comprehensive way. Text speak can be a difficult thing to read.

Secondly, whatever you do, have the future in mind. Basically, use your brain not your emotions when you're deciding. Relationships are for learning. You get to know what things you can tolerate in your partner and the things you can't tolerate.

PS. One of my supervisors advised me not to EVER get down with someone who's a liability. Lol. He wasn't joking about it, and he's very well to do.

PPS. Lol I just saw the compensation part. I was going to ask for your age but that would seem rude, won't it? Compensate her for what? Damages?

So rethink your life choices, make your parents proud.

Dexpro:
Firstly, I don't know if this is the appropriate section to post this. Mods, pls help move this topic to the right place.

Working on a Biogas project in Ogun State and alas, I found this innocent looking scorpion. Took it in, having successfully disabled it's stinger. It's pincher though is still intact.

You disabled it's stinger? do you know that that Scorpion will forever feel incomplete? no you only think about yourself.

INDEED I TIRE FOR NIGERIA

Welcome to Nairaland. Everyone wants to air their opinion even if its meaningless. I expected to see only accounts of those who have travelled etc so the OP could get his answers. One lad even typed 'none of your business' as he if was mandated to comment. Lol.

If the op wants answers, he'd better get on Quora and hope Nigerians respond to it on there.

Solstar:
Only a naturally intelligent person who is trying to scam the State can push a case this far, and trust me, in all fairness he will win. Those rats are declared a threatened specie on the road to extinction and are protected from being killed and he didnt kill them, so now he needs compensation and interest. In the absence of laws prohibiting home storage of values in form of legal tenders, he will win. That is if the case is not struck out as a desperate strategy of a nutcase.

Intelligent comment. Nairaland needs more people like you. I don't know about how well the judicial system in those parts work or how much wildlife preservation is encouraged, but the man's case seems like a valid one.

However, a counter argument may say he may just have made his house a breeding place for rats because some of us don't even rats in our houses.

Renegadd:
is this grammar correct : effervescence of your smile .

Effervescence means :Vivacity and enthusiasm
I want to say "the effervescence of your smile , makes me lost in love"

Is Effervescent the right word for this sentence?



how about " design will be so grand"
I want to say "It will light up the world,design will be so grand"


do you think it's necessary to include "The" in the sentence "The design will be so grand"

I think you should keep it simple when describing the subject's smile.

e.g You paint a ray of sunshine each time you smile

My/The world becomes a better place when you smile.

Your smile melts my heart every time.

You've got curves, but your smile is my favorite.

PS. I'm assuming you're talking about a girl's smile

Yeah, he truly turned the 02 to the 03 with that track.

The copyrights body in Nigeria can't be oblivious to all of this. I recently read about Tekno with the copying of Jogodo. Once a song has gone commercial and is a derivate of a former track without consent from the original owner, that's blatant infringement.

I don't know who put this on FP but this is absolutely embarrassing.

The deadline is already over. Due diligence would mean posts are verified before pushing to FP. I want to believe mods are not volunteers, and that they're being paid.

Gosh, that vid is replete with deep meaning. It's number 2 on Youtube Nigeria.

For me, it speaks about gun violence, music as well as racial bias.

So I stumbled on this question on Quora but I didn't see any answers from Nigerians but I thought the most up voted response was quite insightful.

Rich people have small TVs and big libraries, and poor people have small libraries and big TVs.” - Zig Ziglar


Most people will wait and wish for the magical moment to happen where their circumstances change and they become millionaires.

Fortunately there are enough millionaires and billionaires out there now for us to know that they didn’t come by their money thanks to luck.

There are drug addicts who are now rich beyond belief.

There are famous authors who couldn’t afford food that are now millionaires.

There are people who have been fired that are C.E.O’s of some of the worlds largest companies.

These people all started with deficits and they focused on the one thing that created the biggest change in their lives, themselves.

Unlike most people, who wait and pray for change, you can seek to become the kind of leader that is equipped to make the most of what the world offers.

The quality of who you are as an individual, and the work you do, is all within your control and it all starts with these habits.

1. Dedicate Your Spare Time To Learning Not Leisure

The average person will spend 116 minutes a day on social media.

They absorb information about the latest breaking news, the next celebrity break up or another pop culture meme.

Just like your diet if you consume too much of a bad thing your body begins to produce poor results it starts to shutdown, it gets sick and ultimately fails you due to the excess consumption of poor food.

The same can be said for the way we spend our spare time outside of work as we spend hours a day scrolling through social media feeds or bitching about how our lives should be.

If you’re not actively spending at least 70% of your free time learning you’re going to produce what you put in.

If you read one tweet you’ll probably read ten more.

If you scroll through Instagram you’ll probably tag a friend in another picture on Instagram an hour later.

If you watch T.V you’re probably going to consume an advert someone else made for you.

Start by consuming the information that will make you better not worse.

They say you are what you eat and the same applies to the information you choose to consume every day.

2. Spend 20% Of Your Income On Investing In a Better You

We know when we’ve put money, time and energy into a successful project we’re almost always proud of the results.

The same cannot be said for things that are given to us for free.

Anything that is worth fighting for usually results in some form of cost to benefit ratio.

If you’re not investing in yourself you’re not going to care about the results and you are the biggest vehicle for your success.

I’ve spent over $20,000 in the two years on my own self development and I can safely say that some of that money might have been best spent elsewhere I’ve also made all of that money back and more.

I bought a course on how to sell for $1500 dollars and I have since made another $15,000 from closing clients.

I paid for a course on how to scale my agency from 5 to 6 figures for $3000 and now my agency has broken the six figure mark.

I’ve spent over a thousand dollars on at least thirty different books all with unique insights that have improved my relationships, my income and my personal happiness.

Your level of success can generally be measured by your level of investment whether that is time, energy or money.

In this case I’ve found that the information I’ve paid for to be far more valuable than the free information around me because I know it has come with a cost.

Start investing yourself and you will produce better results.


3. Collaborate Don’t Compete

Most people believe life is here to serve them.

Life is not about serving you it is about serving each other with the tools you need to succeed.

Most people will undercut, double cross, compete and bicker with each other until they both of have nothing left.

All of us though are highly dependent on other people to do what we do.

Only people who want to be truly wealthy in both finances and relationships recognise this and act on this with humility.

By knowing you will need other people to help you get ahead in life you will ultimately set yourself up for long term success.

In a healthy relationship, one plus one far more than 2. When two people are continually giving and receiving, the relationship continues to grow and expand, providing several intended and unintended benefits.

I had a client who needed extra work done on the CRM project that was outside of the current scope and I knew it would create three hours of extra work.

Instead of going back to the client and complaining for another $300 I told them about the issue and extra time and did the work for free.

That same week he introduced me to his friend who also became one of my clients.

People who work together succeed together.

People who doubt, swear and compete with one another will continue to lose together.

By knowing that you need others to find success is the beginning of true wisdom and financial freedom.

By applying these three tactics to your own life you will undoubtedly experience increased wealth but also a better life and that is something most people want.

Quota system! If the quota from your own region is filled up, then kiss the whole thing good bye. You could write a professorial thesis that would make Einstein green with envy...it will all mean nada if the quota for your region is full!

You may not be far from the truth. That should cure some of us from the agony of self loathing.
