This is nothing but Oyinbo's MAGUN! Here are suggested product modifications for the African Market: - hubby/bf has the masterkey to "install and uninstall" the device on his wifey/fiance - once the "trap" has sprung, only the hubby/bf can "unlock" with his masterkey I tell you, the device manufacturer will run out of stock in 2 hours!!! LOL! African men sha! |

Gayigaskia: Yes, Keita did!!!! But he exercised his constitutional right to hold his face instead! To the people calling him a cheat - Have you studied the effects of trauma vibrations in the human anatomy? Let me summarize it for you - An elbow in your chest can cause excruciating pain in your nostrils! Go figure |

@ FL Gators Please give Cote d'ivore a break! Fabiano scored a GOAL by cheating with TWO handballs!!! Brazilians = Skillful Cheats! |

| Sports › Re: World Cup 2010: Brazil (3) - (1) Ivory Coast On June 20th. 7:30pm Nigerian Time by canuck(m): 10:21pm On Jun 20, 2010 |
FIFA is a dinosaur refusing to embrace technological aid for officiating. Almost every match (including Brazil v Cote d'ivore) was riddled with horrible calls (or lack thereof) by the Referee! Can you imagine this yeye Referee asking Fabiano if he was guilty of HAND BALL?! Wetin Fabiano go talk?! It was AFTER the fact, and the Ref was even smiling!!! OMG!  |

| Sports › Re: Eagles Must Apply Pressure Says Christian Chukwu by canuck(m): 6:23am On Jun 20, 2010 |
Mr. Christian Chukwu, majority of our players are either unfit or too muscular for a highly mobile game like soccer. Yakubu needs to trim down or switch to Weightlifting, I can also introduce him to an agent in Greco-Roman Wrestling  Too much akpu/amala/poundo/tuwo! These slow pokes shine when surrounded by fast-paced teammates in their clubs - But what do you get when 10 fat/unfit legs are assembled in one team? KAITAstophy!!! |

@ Topic That colour is traditionally the Netherlands'. . .That's why the Dutch team is called Oranje (Dutch for Orange). If the folks running around in it are white, chances are they're supporting the Netherlands, not the Elephants of Côte d'Ivoire
