Sports › Is The Algerian Afcon Squad African? by Chartey(op): 9:11am On Jan 18, 2015 |
Most of their players are French-born despite their league having some of the best African clubs. Why can't they just be like Egypt? Interesting discussion here http://discussions.ghanaweb.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=170229&sid=f6b95e100caa2ff577c77189b9d1f15dI think this is a lazy approach to national team improvement by African FAs. It will be injustice for them to win the tournament and defeat the whole purpose of the tournament. National teams should rather work towards domestic league players dominating the national teams. Won't it just be nicer if most of the Super Eagles superstars play in a much improved NPFL than having a squad filled with players born and bred outside Nigeria. |

emiye: Yes, Algeria is the team to beat, i am not informed about the depth of the senegalese squad.
I feel Tunisia's year is 2015 though. Senegal has a better squad. Algeria has players who've gone through better development programmes as 16 of the 23-man squad are French born. I see Ghana and Senegal qualifying. |

Family › Re: Is My Wife A User?? - Advice Please by Chartey(m): 2:18pm On Jan 16, 2015 |
MrNiceGuy79: I am 37 years old. We got married 6 years ago and had two children. I come from a well off family so life wasn't difficult. I have always been able to get money from handouts from my family as well as some rental properties that I inherited. As a wedding gift my parents bought us a house that is now valued at about 180m Naira. To be honest, I haven't really been working very hard to chart my own financial path and I don't really know why. I have no motivation to do business, start any business or even work in the family business. I've started to believe it is because the person who is supposed to be supporting me the most, is always putting me down. Any time that I come up with a new business idea she crushes my dreams, telling me how bad that idea is. My father passed away a few years ago and everytime I tell my wife I have gone to do business with my mum, or I want to buy a piece of land with my mother and brother, she gets upset. Now here comes the abuse: when we argue and she tells me to get out of the house, I refuse and tell her its my house. She quickly replies "No it's your mothers house" "A real man works hard and struggles to make it" I have been called all types of names e.g. 'youre lazy" "you're not a good dad (mind you she's always screaming and beating on my son)" "you're not a real man", "Bleep is more of a man than you", etc. I got tired of all that so I decided to empower her, so a couple of years ago, I sold a piece of land worth 20 million Naira and gave her 10 to start a business. I spent my 10 on debts, paying bills, running the house etc. That 10 million has spawned 3 other businesses on her part while I am still stuck with no business of my own. She has never shared or offered to share any profits of those businesses with me, which is ok by me as I really don't need her money. I am still called all types of names, despite the fact that I pay all the house bills, school fees, electricity, DSTV etc. She pays for nothing. When she shops for items from the supermarket, vegetable market etc, she will give me a detailed bill of what she has spent and I HAVE TO REFUND. Refund? we are all eating the food, I don't ask for help every month, and I have to refund? She constantly reminds me that is what a man is supposed to do, pay all the bills in the house, and that I get my money for free while she has to work hard for it. But my question is, do I need this treatment? am I too nice? Please help. I think you need to grow up. Your lack of drive and ambition frustrates your wife. At least she's doing to your face. Do you know how what your family and friends say behind you? |

No need to b crying over a nigger who has lost out on a diamond You see, when you're a strong independent woman in a steady long-term relationship, you can see yourself as a "diamond" and that's good. When the break-up happens, you wonder why with all your achievements plus your beauty you're still not good enough for your man. That's the worst of feelings to have and you don't want to be there. Women who feel they're strong are usually the hardest hit. |

What do you think public reaction would be if Black people were caricatured as slaves on magazine\newspaper covers? Thank you. There'll be widespread demonstrations and riots. Some magazine staff may lose their lives. Their killers will be sentenced but that won't change the fact that what the satirists had done was also wrong. Journalists need to be ethical and know where to draw the line. This is a basic truth. |

lavatoz: I'm not surprised at how you think, you come from a place that attacks victims more by feeling an antelope shouldn't have been dancing before the lion hence the reason for it being killed. In, Nigeria there is no freedom of speech concerning anything be it politcs, social issues not to mention religion. Instead, there are filled with sycophants and butt-kissers that is the big diff b/t western journalists and third world journalists. If he were in Nigeria he wud have died since. You condemn the killings while contradicting yourself for justifying their reasons for killing the man. They didn't just kill the man they killed and shot other innocent people. For what? Mocking islam? Other religions were mocked; do their followers like it? Of course not they wud be furious but they won't kill people for that. These terrorists have just proven western media that muslims are barbaric 1st century humans. Regardless of the existence of good, sane, sweet and philanthropic muslims that outweigh the demonic ones and condemn these acts; you can't help but think that islam is a very ambiguous religion with violent doctrines. You misunderstand me. I never justified the killings. I'm just saying that if those satirists were a little careful they'd have been alive by now. Read my previous posts again carefully to understand my point of view. |

redsun: The muderfuckers didn't have anything to live for,so they chose to end their miserable lives with people that have a lot to live for. The gap between the well off and the deprived,mostly African immigrants is astronomical and things like this are bound to happen with a bit of delusional persuasions. Thank God you understand that it's easier to provoke a suffering man than a comfortable one. In such developed societies, there are special facilities to protect and ease the suffering of the physically challenged. The same must be done for the socially challenged, part of which is protecting them from provocative media attacks. Media censorship is what is needed here. |

Instead, lets focus on the fact that there is no country in this world where freedom of expression is not restricted to some extent.
Why?
Because every single Government in the world understands that unregulated speech is a recipe for Chaos. You can't let people going round saying everything they want to say, with the expectation that everyone else will just docilely accept it.
It's just common sense. That's the whole point. |

Such a paper would have made enemies in the past and thus encouraging making them an example. On the contrary now more papers are no more conservative on the use of caution on islam anymore. Check out CNN is now permitting the use of prophet mohammed's picture unlike before. The victimizer victim has now becom a hero. This is an ideal reaction. In this case however, these people feel the political and judicial systems are against them already as evidenced by persistent victimisation over the years. They won't seek redress from courts they don't trust. |

RoyalRoy: [color=black][size=15pt]Originally By Francon[/size][/color]
My daughter, don’t cause a separation between your man and his siblings; it could be dangerous for you when they finally speak with one voice.
• My daughter, I know that some of you girls don’t wish to marry a man whose mother is still alive, don’t ever think like that, if you do, well, I think your son’s wife-to-be should start wishing you're dead now.
• My daughter, listen to me, when I married your father, he was as tiny as his salary but I chose to grow with him and today, those cars out there are some of the results of what we started so little, together, and we’re proud looking at them.
• My daughter, there is this thing i see happening in your time, some of you girls now get pregnant before the wedding day, well, it never happened in our time because no matter what, we never opened our laps before the wedding.
• My daughter, well, yes, I once locked up the cloth of your father because I got to my limit of patience and that was the only thing I could do, but one thing I haven’t said was that we settled the issue that same day and that was the last time I tried that.
• My daughter, look up there. That’s the wedding picture of your father and I, look at him smiling, I know you've seen it many times but what you did not know is that your father was angry before taking this picture, I hope you find a man whose anger doesn't last till the next day.
• My daughter, when your Father was riding a bicycle, I was always happy to hop on it and ride with him, not because I didn't see those men in their little cars but because my eyes also saw those men trekking to their farms.
• My daughter, if you and your husband eat a little food with love, you both would be satisfied. Times are not always the same; support him in every phase he’s passing through.
• My daughter, don’t ever close your laps to your husband in bed , the day he paid your dowry was the day you lost your will to do so, don’t be stiff and try to satisfy him even if you were angry with him.
• My daughter, a man would respect you and be more proud of you if you’re learned and not totally dependent on him. Strive to make your own money and while you're at it, be humble.
• My daughter, under the cocoa tree that I did meet with your Father was open and good enough for our discussions, yes; it was open and good enough if you understand what I mean.
• My daughter, in our time, we had sexy legs and firm bosoms to show our men , in fact, we had the finest ones, yet, when we dress, we cover those parts of our body, not because we were not civilized as you people would call it, but because we know that the eyes of men are hungry, many of them would only come, touch and go their way.
• My daughter, there is this thing you girls now practice, they say it’s feminism. Well, you can prove to be equal to a man in the society but please, not in your marriage because at my old age, I don’t want to start counting your husbands.
• My daughter, marriage is not a Rehabilitation Centre, if he’s not good enough for you before marriage, nothing he does would be good enough after marriage.
• My daughter, you can see I still wear my night gown , yes, because to my husband; your father, I still want to look sexy. So, take good care of your body, look good for your man and don’t look like a grandma after giving birth.
• My daughter, I’m your mother and still, I'm not interested in you coming to me always if anything goes wrong with your husband. Though nowadays I see some mothers controlling the homes of their sons and daughters, I would only say; shame on them!
• My daughter, for you to have a peaceful home and well-trained children, have one voice with your husband, join him to say NO when he’s saying NO before the kids but later when you both are alone, you can plead with him for a YES, if not, the children will see a loophole to misbehave, either to you or their father.
• My daughter, if you chose to live together with a man that you’re yet to be married to , and you are complaining that he hasn't proposed to you, oh, he already did. Whatever he said that made you start living with him was his proposal.
• My daughter, your generation does not see any pride in been a virgin before marriage, it’s a shame! Your father met me a virgin and he brought more yams to my parents and up till today, he’s still proud of me when we discuss in that direction.
• My daughter, I know that no man out there is complete, but when you are looking for your tall, slim, fair and handsome, if he’s a woman-beater, please, go for the short, fat, dark and ugly that will give you the respect you deserve as a woman.
• My daughter, know, learn and respect the culture and lifestyle of whoever you chose to marry . In some part of Africa, you knee down to greet your man’s parents while in some part outside Africa; you can even call them by their first name and ask for a handshake. Whatever they believe in, if you've chosen him, believe it with him also.
• My daughter, don’t ever try to date a married man, whether his excuse was that he doesn't find happiness with his wife or he would have married you if he had met you first, if you ever try it, I curse you already.
• My daughter, when I say over 52 years of marriage , it wasn't that I did not see any reason to leave your father, I saw a lot of them but I bear his faults, i forgave him to stay married.
• My daughter, these are part of the wisdom i have gathered over the years. and If I had taken my time to tell you all these, and your marriage doesn't last like that of your father and I, then I had wished i never gave birth to you. |

I just wonder what would have happened to Nigerian journalists if they get the same treatment. The Nigerian society is a largely multi-religious one. It's not like a French society threatened by 'contamination' by a minority religion of immigrants. Also, Nigerian journalists largely respect religious boundaries. |

teemy: I agree with you but one of the victims is no more with us.
Concerning the movie "Innocence of Muslims". a Pakistani minister has offered a bounty for the killing of Nakoula, the producer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocence_of_Muslims
The dude Nakoula created a movie that in several ways was anti islamic and here is an overzealous politician calling for his death. Why do we have courts? Why do we have jails? If people believe they have been wronged they go get justice not take the law into their hands else everything would just be in a state of chaos. Now that is wrong. So we can say Pakistan and France are two unsafe extreme bands of a spectrum. Back to the Nakoula issue now. Politicians are fond of making statements like that in order to gain public goodwill. A politician in any Latin American country can easily say something like that about someone who makes an antichristian film in that country and will be praised by the masses. An example is the way many Nigerians praised the govt to high heavens for making same-sex relationships criminal. Many Nigerians will happily lynch any suspected homosexual without regret and quite a number will hail any minister that calls for the death of someone like Bisi Alimi. Human beings are all the same my dear. |

Bayswater: Just tell me you are kidding. Can Allah not fight for himself? France does not have a native muslim population, these people (mainly immigrants) have been deprived from their various nations; France made a mistake by opening their borders to these set of ungrateful and impoverished immigrants. So what's hard in being a muslim? These mofos were indoctrinated and radicalized by the same Quran all of you read. Is that a lie? Until you face the facts and start going after the imams radicalizing these youngsters, the dim perception most western national have about Islam will never change. The focus of this conversation is really not Islam, it's poor journalism standards. It's just that Islam seems to be the most affected topic. I don't even want to talk about how France impoverished their colonies so much that people from francophone countries in Africa (especially West and North) feel France owes them. |
