9/11...Exactly twelve years ago, thousands
of American citizens Lost their Lives in
what would be one of the deadliest
terrorist attack on the United States. The
twin tower buildings were hit by planes
suspected to have been hijacked by
terrorists with one man "Osama Bin
Laden" suspected to be the mastermind
behind the attack as the attack was linked
to terrorist group Al-Queda...This came as
a shocker to the United States and the
entire world as rescue missions were on at
the centre of the attack.The casualty
figures were reported to be around 2,752
people killed including the fire fighters and
those aboard the jumbo jets before it was
hijacked and redirected to the world trade
centre twin tower in New York City.The
then president of the United States
George Bush had this to say..." In the
normal course of
events, presidents come
to this chamber to report
on the state of the Union.
Tonight, no such report is
needed. It has already
been delivered by the
American people.
We have seen it in the
courage of passengers
who rushed terrorists to
save others on the
ground. Passengers like an
exceptional man named
Todd Beamer. And would
you please help me
welcome his wife Lisa
Beamer here tonight?
We have seen the state of
our Union in the
endurance of rescuers
working past exhaustion.
We've seen the unfurling
of flags, the lighting of
candles, the giving of
blood, the saying of
prayers in English,
Hebrew and Arabic.
We have seen the decency
of a loving and giving
people who have made
the grief of strangers their
own.
My fellow citizens, for the
last nine days, the entire
world has seen for itself
the state of our Union,
and it is strong.
Tonight, we are a country
awakened to danger and
called to defend freedom.
Our grief has turned to
anger and anger to
resolution. Whether we
bring our enemies to
justice or bring justice to
our enemies, justice will
be done.
I thank the Congress for
its leadership at such an
important time.
All of America was
touched on the evening of
the tragedy to see
Republicans and
Democrats joined together
on the steps of this
Capitol singing "God Bless
America."
And you did more than
sing. You acted, by
delivering $40 billion to
rebuild our communities
and meet the needs of our
military. Speaker Hastert,
Minority Leader Gephardt,
Majority Leader Daschle
and Senator Lott, I thank
you for your friendship,
for your leadership and for
your service to our
country.
And on behalf of the
American people, I thank
the world for its
outpouring of support.
America will never forget
the sounds of our national
anthem playing at
Buckingham Palace, on the
streets of Paris and at
Berlin's Brandenburg
Gate.
We will not forget South
Korean children gathering
to pray outside our
embassy in Seoul, or the
prayers of sympathy
offered at a mosque in
Cairo.
We will not forget
moments of silence and
days of mourning in
Australia and Africa and
Latin America.
Nor will we forget the
citizens of 80 other
nations who died with our
own. Dozens of Pakistanis,
more than 130 Israelis,
more than 250 citizens of
India, men and women
from El Salvador, Iran,
Mexico and Japan, and
hundreds of British
citizens.
America has no truer
friend than Great Britain.
Once again, we are joined
together in a great cause.
I'm so honored the British
prime minister has
crossed an ocean to show
his unity with America.
Thank you for coming,
friend.
On September the 11th,
enemies of freedom
committed an act of war
against our country.
Americans have known
wars, but for the past 136
years they have been wars
on foreign soil, except for
one Sunday in 1941.
Americans have known
the casualties of war, but
not at the center of a
great city on a peaceful
morning.
Americans have known
surprise attacks, but
never before on thousands
of civilians.
All of this was brought
upon us in a single day,
and night fell on a
different world, a world
where freedom itself is
under attack.
Americans have many
questions tonight.
Americans are asking,
"Who attacked our
country?...""...This attack led to usa invasion
of iraq and afghanistan where the hunger
and taste for vengance of the us led ti the
death of innocent souls...with d 9/11
always remembered and brutal
invasion seems to be forgotten...the big
question is shouldnt the souls of the
invaded states also be remembered? join
the conversation...

What makes the perfect captain?
Previous

Don Goodman, Luther Blissett, Mark
Bright and Viv Anderson talk to Goal
regarding the changing attributes of a
skipper and the skills required to wear
the armband
'Captain'. A small word with big
responsibilities.
But what makes a good captain?
Experience? Leadership? Motivation?
Respect?
Some managers look to players who have
been there and done it (and, possibly,
own a t-shirt proclaiming as such).
Nemanja Vidic was selected by Sir Alex
Ferguson, the most successful manager in
the history of English football, due to his
ability to marshal a defence with his
domineering approach; both physically
and vocally.
Paolo Di Canio, for example, has
appointed John O’Shea as Sunderland
captain.
The 32-year-old’s experience at Old
Trafford, and the 15 honours collected
during his time there, is hoped to stand
him in good stead at the Stadium of Light.
Aston Villa wasted no time in making Ron
Vlaar skipper upon his arrival at the club.
The centre-back’s time at Feyenoord,
competing at the top of Eredivisie, was
viewed as more reliable then previous
incumbent Darren Bent.
Fabio Capello famously resigned from his
post as England manager when John Terry
was stripped as captain by the Football
Association in February 2012. Which begs
the question, should so much importance
be placed on the armband?
"Yes, I think so," Don Goodman - who has
over 600 appearances in British football
under his belt - told Goal .
"Captains have lots of different
responsibilities. Not just winning the toss,
but on and off the pitch. They're
responsible for running the plan on the
pitch - the manager's conductor if you
like.
"Leadership on and off the pitch [is the
most important quality as a captain]. Set
an example. Motivate your players. Try to
teach good habits. The best captain is a
model of consistency on the pitch."
"Sam Ellis of Watford," Luther Blissett
replied when asked who the most
impressive captain he played under was.
"He was very intelligent and had a really
good command of everyone. He wasn't
young but the experience he had and the
way he imparted it. He also really cared
for us younger players, we looked up to
him."
Adam Lallana, of Southampton, and Ryan
Shawcross, of Stoke City, are the two
youngest skippers in the Premier League.
The Saints leader has risen through the
ranks at St Mary’s, with his apparent
loyalty being rewarded by both Nigel
Adkins and Mauricio Pochettino, while
Shawcross has racked up nearly 250
appearances in seven seasons – missing
just five outings since 2010-11.
But Mark Bright feels the natural leaders
of previous generations are a thing of the
past, with a change in tactical approach
forcing differing requirements on the
pitch.
"The Premier League used to be very
aggressive, it’s more tactical and technical
now so the Terry Butchers and the Tony
Adams figures are gone," Bright added.
"John Terry really does lead the team,
you can see on the pitch how vocal he is."
So, surely, a modern-day captain must
boast a little bit of everything.
One of the most high-profile examples of
an all-encompassing performance was
Steven Gerrard's for Liverpool in the
2005 Champions League final.
"The qualities of a good captain is that he
leads by example, and has the ability to
make people around them perform when
things are not going well on the pitch,"
Viv Anderson added.
Gerrard headed home the Reds' first goal
to start a stunning three-goal comeback
to eventually clinch the trophy after a
penalty shootout, literally grabbing the
ball and urging his team-mates and those
in the stands with his celebrations.
I leave the last word to Blissett:
"Captains have to be a good
communicator and that doesn't mean
someone who rants and raves, shouts and
stomps. It's someone who says what they
need to, when they need to, to whom
they need to. And sometimes that can be
a quiet word in someone's ear."

NLers what makes a perfect captain?

With 61 universities shut down for over 61 days, the ASUU strike seems to be an impediment to Education in Nigeria as it has almost turned into an annual festival celebrated across the Nation...With the future of Nigeria students in jeopardy, the ASUU strike has become a menace to the society...With ASUU claiming to embark on strike for the sake of students due to the falling standard of education in our beloved nation, it is well know that the ASUU strike has never yielded result from the onset...Will it be useful this time?, is this some propaganda from ASUU to line their pockets and that of their cohorts? Are there not other means to ask FG to meet their demands?, dont ASUU think about its negative effect on students?...With most of the questions above Left unanswered, the students cannot say for sure when the conundrum is going to end...The students on their part Lack strong students union to delebrate on issues affecting them as it is now common place for students union not being efficient as the nationwide protest by NANS has also been futile..The discussion has been taken to social medias like twitter where Aljazeera stream champions the forum(@AJStream,#ASUU, #nigeria) with notable response from a former vice president which goes thus...
"Atiku Abubakar @
atiku
The ASUU strike has gone on
long enough. Time for the FG to
act. An agreement is an
agreement. #ASUUchat @
AJStream 1/4" it leaves Nigerian students pondering what the agreement is? , why has the FG failed to meet ASUU request?..
For as Long as this melodrama continues, the strike continues...We call on both bodies at Loggerhead (FG,and ASUU) to clear the air btw themselves and do it soon as the delay is frustrating to students of Nigerian Universities...#onenation
#speakout Nigerians
#enough is enough
# greatest Nigerian students
Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
