if we want to tell ourselves the truth, we will say hitv are simply incompetent.
they are a limited liability company whose primary objective is to maximize profit at the end of the day so why is their failure a national issue?
they lack quality and leadership/managment is their problem like nigeria itself.
if u know u are in a competition with a bigger company like multichoice, u shld be over prepared.
loosing epl is as simple as loosing that station because that is all they have got.

all i know is whatever mikel is using is having a very negative impact on the thinking system of this thing (12large). mikel's juju has finally turned 12large into a tissue paper.

@poster,
u can do better than this.
get urself more reasonable topic as we are bored with this mikel's hating arround here.
all the pronouncements against mikel on this forum did not see the light of the day eg.when he signed wioth chelsea, he was called a bench warmer by ur type and what happened?
before the world cup, someother useless imbeciles here told us that mikel will ruin the super eagles and when he withdrew, we thought our chance to win the world cup was arround and what happened?
pls get urself some other news and try ur luck.

i still remember vividly that some of the then inec machines were found in the house of late adedidbu, i hope he handed them over before his died?
on the other hand, why N55b? he shld be talking about N200B.
as long as it is pdp, i don't expect anything better. they must end up in a way morris iwu will later be seen as a hero and a righteous man.
by the why, the Nigerian Triburne of today said, Inec needs N72b for voters' register.
the simpliest way out is divission.

mustapha has no case against the nigerian constitution rather it is a personal thing with obasanjo.
i hated mustapha with passion until his witnesses at oputa panel.
obasanjo and others are all military men and they all understand what it means to be under oath as a millitary man.
on the other, what case cld last this long? 11 yrs is more than enough period of time to start and finish any case in this world.
by now, mustapha shld either be a free man or be serving his jail term.
pdp led govt shld be able to establish their case or set this man free.

what a useless and luckless thread topic

one thing is sure here which is; if nigeria needs two qualified madmen to represent us in any international madness competition, 12large and marutimon will surely do us proud.
i have warned ppl here to stop taking 12large serious because he is not a living thing.
he reasons from his anus.

@all,
hahahahahahaha - so ppl arround here still take that thing(12large) serious?
i met the thing(12large) on several threads here and i came to terms that many lunatics are parading our streets.
the thing (12large) has nothing to offer. i will suggest you all stop taking it(12large) serious because it does not worth it.

this will continue to be the case in arsenal. soon they will be fighting fabregas because he is on his way.
is either u pay them or let them go. wenger and his primary school boys must learn to stop fighting lost battles.

in whose trouble?

i don't waste my time reading through the works of these rubbish ppl who are most times sponsored labourers.
ibb left power far back 1993 and till date nothing tangible has happened.
all these are in support of pdp and jonathan. we have had pdp on seat since 1999 till date yet the particular case of electricity that was the basic point of their campeign is still unresolved.
i can vote any idiot as long as he/she is not pdp related.
why is everybody saying no to babangida while other criminals are not talked about?

what a shame ! so the kidnappers have ended up feeding and catering for their victims all in vain.
A very big and happy news that the journalists are free.

Good news to NUJ !

@hatch#,
do u expect the federal govt to come out and announce how much they spent for the release of these journalists. if u can fall for such cheap story, u can fall for anything.
on the other hand, even if they claim not to have paid ramsome, do u know how much they have spent on the search alone?
the shame here goes to federal govt who have kept closed eyes on the menace of of kidnapping since until journalists are kidnapped.
do u know what it means holding a country hostage for this long?

he is just a legend and not a coach but it is obvious argentina cannot differentiate between the two.
on the other hand, maradonna is more of a terrorist so if they take the job away from him, he will start disturbing the country again so they just want to compensate him with that position.
amodu is a bad coach but if he handles argentina team, he will do far more better than maradonna.

is this obasanjo the same one nairalanders call the best president nigeria ever know?
i don't have respect for that king kong.
mr. third term agenda.

@poster,
i am even suspecting ur cousin.
every policeman in east is a suspect ur cousin inclusive.
if u can, check ur cousin's phonebook withour his consent, u will see the number saved with bad boy or urgly boy and that number belongs to a kidnapper.

@all
Bluetooth is right. . .crimes such as kidnapping and armed robbery takes place ind east(atleast visible),crimes such as men molesting and despoiling underage girls which is seemingly becoming increasingly rampant,takes place in d west by yoruba men,while religious violence,is spearheaded by d north. . .so in essence,crime is every where

@philip0906,
u forgot to mention it here that the yorubas are into old age stealing as are the cases of obasanjo, late adedibu and bode george.
if this lulu of a guy can steal our nff/govt money and destroy our peace, what is wrong in kidnapping his mother or father to obtain part of the stolen funds? this money belongs to us so we have right to our shares.
the kidnappers for the third time have my support as the first time was when they kidnapped soludo's father while the second was when prof iwu's relative was involved. the day obasanjo will be kidnapped, anything less than N1b will not get him released.
finally, u did not say it here that yorubas sleep with their daughters, daughters inlaws, goats and sheeps.

why on earth will lulu price 1m?
that is a very big insult and mark of unseriousness on the side of lulu.
so after all the money lulu stole from nff, he is stingy even for the release of her only mother?
pls can someone give me lulu's number so that i will call him and tell him how to behave while in office.
i learnt the guys asked for N200m only, and nff gave this man N1.3b for for sa2010 so he can just give the guys who are also nigerians part of the money so that they will leave the poor innocent woman alone.

@moderators,
what is this topic doing on the politics section? do u need a prophet to tell u that kidnapping is supposed to have a section on nairaland?

someone here said, it is challange and not problem. that is right.
the first step will be for u to stop listening to those who have problems with their inlaws and start listening to those who have good relationships with their inlaws.
tell God what u want in ur marriage and give it ur best.
if u are having problems with ur parents, look at it very well and see if u are the course, change ur life style and u will not have problems with ur inlaws.
be informed that those who told u abt their problems have different stars from u so u can never be them.

if the kidnappers release the journalists for the sake of this empty threats, then onovo and his boys will need to explain their relationship with the kidnappers to all of us.
what happened since these guys have been at work and why is it now that these journalists are involved that onovo went to east?
if the kidnappers loose their lives, it will just end like bola ige matter.
make them go give the guys money and take their kidnapped ones.

This man called uzor kalu is the problem of Abia state today and his plan to run down the current Gov of Abia will not work for him.he uzor kalu may no the cause of the current security problem of Abia state, my Abia friend should give support to the current Gov for to succeed . God bless u all.

@akwarandu,
are u this uninformed? run who down u said? the gov was in detention when kalu sole handedly made him the gov and where were u and ur abia friend then? did u congratulate him?

@topic,
it is obvious, nothing is working well in nigeria. if atiku a pdp confirmed and indicted criminal, alams, a jailed criminal/ex-convict were all recieved nationaly by the pdp members, what more orji uzor kalu who is an alleged criminal?
the truth here is pdp is on a mission to make nigeria a one party system and it is either one is there or no where.
we are lost as a people and this shameless group have taken us a for a ride.

@poster,
what are the names of ur previous sons?
i hope, henry, puyol, iniester, xavi etc are all represented in ur family hence the need for fabregas?
well, if u want my candid advise, CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.
taribo west is not a bad name.

Mr. Ibu is not funny rather he is fun.

the stupid man like everyother african ruler will like to die on the seat even when the going is bad.
the darkness of our hair represents the darkness of our minds.
our football is going down on daily basis with poor policies and the man refused to go.
the whole world became mad when the same caf organised a competition in angola that cld not provide security for the competitors and turned back to ban a country that lost upto 3 staffs in a gun attack.
the so called caf has been incompetent and as such needs to be disolved.

@poster,
this thread is a very old one but if u are still waiting to know, i will suggest u join chelsea if u like english league, madrid if u like la liga.

i am a chelsea fan for real and not for life. i can always change because change is the only constant thing in life.
chelsea has given african players the deserved values and respect and this is confirmable in drogba, essien, mikel and kalou. chelsea is the current english champion. chelsea is presently the home of the golden boot. chelsea break, broke and broken record and records in the past season with their goal scoring madness. are u looking for goal scoring side? chelsea will score even while they are sleeping. 8 - 0, 7 - 0, 7 - 1, 7 - 2.
by the way, will be happy to join an arsenal side that chelsea scored 5 unreplied goals last season? or man u that we won 3 - 1 not liverpool that we won 4 - 0 all the so-called big 4 then.
i don't know what u want, beautiful childish football of arsenal that will end up giving u heart attack.
anyways, if u are looking for ball possession, join arsenal.
if you are looking for men with business minds, ready to tear teams apart, pls join chelsea for now.
if u watched chelsea's last game of this past season, u shld have gotten answer to ur question by now. i remembered how ancelloti the coach raised his hands and say COMMON CHELSEA.
are u aware that drogba, essien, mikel and kalou all first team players were away on african cup of nations and still come back to win the cups and drogba still won the highest goal scorer after one month absence.
wow 103 league goals in a season and that is first in histroy.
i hope with these few points of mine, i have been able to convience and not confuss u that chelsea for now is the best destination for new commers like u.
i used to be an arsenal fan until my doctor advised me over my heart condition. arsenal's trophy room have not been used or visited for over 5 seasons. so dry that it is gradually turning into a measuem.

UEFA president Michel Platini has been taken to hospital after fainting in a Johannesburg restaurant, according to Sky Sports News.

this fainting is long over-due. that day he used ovrebo to rob chelsea in champions league, i know he is going to faint one day.
i am predicting more fainting for him unless he is ready to confess.

uncle joe is not man enough.
men take decission and stand on them.
in the first place, i never supported the idea of banning our super eagle and withdrawing us from international football for two yrs instead of dealling with offenders directly.
if he has taken the decission, why would he reverse just because somebody somewhere threatened.
by this act, one can easily say nigeria is not matured enough to be independent. who knows the meaning of independence here?
anyways, i have said it times without numbers, joe in not the real man in charge. some invincible hands controlling him from somewhere in ottah.

the only way ribadu can win is by fielding me as his vice while the only way he will loose will be by not using me as his vice.
our partnership will be a made in heaven partnership.
if ribadu is coming as ac candidate, where will his father(obasanjo) be? ac or pdp still? i think we better think very well. did ob asanjo b ring him back to destroy his structures?

that goes a long way to show how influential our president is. his home state in disarray and he is still thinking he can rule nigeria even when he cannot handle his state.
on the other hand, what we have in nigeria is called anarchy - absence of govt. i will accept 5 or more deputies because we have democracy which is govt of the ppl, by the ppl and for the ppl so let everybody get involved.

shagari - ekwueme 1979 - 1983 good governance
yar adua - jonathan 2007 - 2010 good governance
obasanjo - atiku 1999 - 2007 very bad govt
to get another good combination therefore, a ribadu - chidichris govt will bring the much anticipated changes.
vote ribadu, vote myself and we will be there.

let ribadu get me involved as his vice and you will see how we will change this country to a great country.

if i remembered vividly, this debt was there while he got another appointment that warranted him to travel to south africa on our tax payers' money.
can't this amodu work as another country's coach for once or is he trained just to be super eagles coach?

@xterra2

There is corruption in every country of the world. .
Have u actually looked at the so-called opposition politicians and states they run and how much worse they are compared to PDP?

The way to change Nigeria is to remove such corrupt things as power,NNPC and so on from GOVT control

Have u bothered to ask yourself why this has not been done for 50yrs?

Its because those ministries are so-called powerful ministries. . what does that actually mean?
It means every yr billions of Naira are budgeted in those ministries
but they can dissappear,because there is no incentive to make power plants or refineries work. . .

When last did u see any huge amount of money allocated to ministry of information and communication?
well that is because the private telecomms companies have made it redundant to do so. . .

Have u forgotten MKO and the military in ITT(International thief thief)
well thank God those things are past us now. . .

That is why anyone that willingly gives up such patronage is to be commended
It reduces corruption and inefficiency and basically lifts another critical sector of the Nigerian economy from underneath the Suffocating weight of GOVT

PS u should want Goodluck Jonathan to win the election next yr. . because there is nothing worse for a developing/emerging economy
than a stop-start application of critical reforms
New GOVTS take time to settle down. . .thats why even in countries like brazil,Japan,Russia,Indonesia.India and so on there is always angst during elections
and markets normally rally if the incumbent reformer is re-elected

@paddy lo,
if everything is privatized in nigeria, what will be the need for govt? don't u think it is worth doing - privatizing aso rock? how are the common men benefitting from all the mineral resources God had used to bless this useless nigeria? our roads are privatized, our waters are privatized, the airspace are privatized and soon, the air we breath will be privatised.
do u know that another name for privatization is commercialization and do u know what that means? all these things will be left in the hands of those whose main purpose is to maximize gain.
it is a thing of shame that apart from our mineral resources that are surplus, we pay tax and at the end of the day, we pay to use the roads, pay to talk and pay to slee;p.
wether u like it or not, it is these same people you think cannot handle these things that will buy them up at the end of the day to now cut off our necks.
we are doomed.
the best thing jonathan can do at this moment having confirmed the incompetence of all these politicians, seekm for eign assistance in the area of governance(take us back to the days of slavery and colonisation) or better still divide this nonsense entity intlo at least 20 different countries so that ppl will start feeling the presence of govt at all levels.
if our population size is the problem, divission is the only natural solution.
if you know economics or political science, certain services are expected from the govt and these are called BASIC ARMENTIES. today, logosians (lekki axis) are up for payments for using govt roads which are surposed to be output of tax payer's funds.
it is really embarrassing that most of us jump up in rejoice in every rubbish that comes out of the mouth of the so-called govt.
have u ever been anywhere outside nigeria? even benin republic u will know that nothing is happening here for real.

@poster,
what u have here is a dry and incomplete story.
when did this stealing take place and why is it coming out now from ur source?
again, if your source was able to establish how much debt kalu left for T. Orji, he shld be able to tell us how much kalu inherited from his predecessor either in debt or in surplus.
again, t.orji must by now either incurred debt or amazed excess wealth for the state and these are some of the things that will make ur story complete.

@poster,
i know exactly what you are talking abt. u have not used the right words women use in times like this(UPON ALL I DID FOR HIM).
most women enjoy their positions as decission makers whenever they are in a relationship like the one this poster explained above but they(women) find it difficult to know when the table is turned.
you might be acting funny all these while the boy was financially handicapped and because he is a man, he will bear everything and believing it was not a permanent situation so if he has taken back his rightful position as the man of the house now, i will suggest you change ur position to suit the occasion or u look outside there for another less priveledged boy to call ur boyfriend.
