dont u guys ever have anything better to do other than throwing around baseless and obviously misleading ratings all over the net What students did d ratings? I got my Bsc 4rm UNN and currently running my MSc in Uniben. I can state here authoritatively that going by d criteria stated above, UNN is ages ahead of uniben.in uniben,there r no facilities(where there are,they dont go round 'cos of overwelming population),u can even buy ur way through school. . .something u just cant do in UNN. I don tire 2 de c all dis s. t. upid ratings all over d place.i'v not been 2 unilorin or UI but i know UNILAG is also crap.u keep rating this schools high while they are busy producing well packaged illiterates. U don't just sit in ur houses, input trash into the net just because u have a computer. . .

I almost thought 'lock him up and deliberately misplace the keys already!' ,but then i realized this is all a charade..lamorde and his crew wana have their own bite out of 1 large abia state cake. 1 thing is 4 sure though,orji kalu will get punished someday,somewhere...d man too despoil us

More like it! This is what we should be protesting against, not subsidy removal. Just subscribed..

Ovrebo: My errors cost Chelsea in 2009
April 18, 2012



By ESPN staff

Tom Henning Ovrebo, the referee of the controversial Champions League semi-final between Chelsea and Barcelona in 2009, has admitted that he made mistakes in the game that denied the Premier League side a place in the final.

AssociatedDidier Drogba was incensed by the decisions of referee Tom Henning Ovrebo in 2009

Ovrebo found himself at the centre of a firestorm at Stamford Bridge at the end of the second leg three years ago, having rejected four reasonable penalty claims from the home side - then managed by Guus Hiddink - during the 90 minutes, as they eventually went out to Andres Iniesta's last-minute strike.

The Norwegian official was confronted by Michael Ballack and Didier Drogba even before the final whistle, and subsequently received death threats from a section of irate Chelsea fans. Ovrebo has now revealed that he still receives threatening messages, and has admitted that he did not enforce the laws correctly during the game at Stamford Bridge.

"I still get a few death threats, but they go straight into the garbage box. I don't take them seriously, although sometimes I wonder about the people who send them," Ovrebo told The Times. "Just yesterday I got an email from a Chelsea fan saying he wanted to kill me and my family.

"Everyone who knows the laws of the game knows I should have done things differently, but that's the life of a referee. In a strange way, I was actually satisfied with the way we all managed to keep calm in a tense situation."

He added: "On the pitch I did my best. I shouldn't have to apologise as mistakes are part of the game."

Drogba was subsequently given a five-game ban by UEFA for his outburst at the final whistle, with team-mate Jose Bosingwa given a three-game suspension. Ovrebo feels no ill-will towards the Ivorian, however, after the pair reconciled their differences at the disciplinary hearing.

"It was a very challenging match and with the angry scenes after the final whistle it became less enjoyable," Ovrebo noted. "Some players got too emotional and behaved badly, but no one got killed. It's important to put it into perspective.

"It helped me as a referee ... if I can cope with Drogba screaming at me, I can cope with anything - although he's a nice guy, really."

The Blues have the chance to gain revenge on the Spanish club, as they face them in the Champions League semi-finals again this season. The first leg takes place at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday

igbu ochu= 'murder' or even 'manslaughter'

Yea i agree with those advocating for a short sentence....52years will be lenient enough

odumchi: Na iwu ndi Aro, onye mba anaghi egbuje mokwan emeru nwa Aro ibe ya azi. Nwa Aro nwuo na aka onye mba, ana eduruje onye onhu eje ivu arunsi ka erevuo ya mokwan ka egbuo ya.

Among the laws of the Aro, a non-Aro man is never supposed to kill or hurt his Aro counterpart under any circumstances. If an Aro man dies at the hands of a non-Aro, the offender is taken to an oracle where he is either sold-off or killed.

oh there chauvinism is well represented in their laws. Smh

musKeeto: A rich culture with rules and morals that guided us.. Im Igbo and am very ashamed of the fact that I can't speak Ibo fluently...

u r not alone brotherly, there r millions like you. But, we can change this pathetic trend starting from our children. It should b made compulsary for them 2 speak igbo in d house(english shud be forbiden at home). It worries me each time i travel home 4 xmas, 2 c kids respond 2 u in english. Even questions that require an 'odimma', they'd rather say 'fine' . Most of them understand d language but cant speak it cause they are not made 2 speak it by their parents. If our generation fails to correct this worrisome trend, we might just b heading 2 language extinction

bittyend: @ Joey82

Oil palm trees that produces palm kernels used for palm oil don't produce palm wine. Why are some Nigerians stupidly dumb?? Palmyra, and Coconut palms produces palm wine - and those trees are more in SW than any other region in Nigeria.

damn! Dude,stop advertising ur ignorance. Its d same palm trees dat produce palm wine..d only difference is d fact dat d palmwine tapping activities prevent them from fruiting. However, thr r abt 2 types of palmwine(in d east)...d 1 tapped 4rm d normal palm tree(nkwu elu, which is d best of them all) and another got from some other palm plant called 'ngwo'.

Hmn..my abia? Where do i start? Ok,rigt nw sm of u r propably in some cool wears with 'next','feragamo'...labels....na my aba boys run those package. Ur laptop bags nko? Granite, palm oil...abeg my fingers r weak already.damn! I almost forgot our crude. 2 b continued...

moremi2008:

Even Nigerians that had nothing against Igbos will find them extremely annoying once they arrive on Nairaland. I have never seen a more vicious, stubborn and uneducated swarm of tribalists in my life! It's like the Biafran War emptied their skulls of all cognitive function! Always arguing about irrelevant nonsense and claiming superiority when their cities and villages are no better (largely worse) than the rest of the Nigerian South.  They don tire me oh!

 yea, so 'uneducated' that ur government refer to them as 'technocrats' . I just de laf.

Dudu_Negro:

Oh yeah, they are it again! sometimes i feel pity for the igbos. . . .wish I could help make life easier. Soon as they clear one shameful act, two more drop in. . . and its ususally from their leadership. They are divided. That Ezeship and Kingship system installed on them by Britain is not good for them. Igbo need a new brand. . . go back to how you used to be, no central leadership. It worked for you for centuries. . . until oyibo come dabaru everything and you have been problem since.

do u know how 'uneducated' u sound?
