David Weir (Everton) Rangers (Free )
Lauren (Arsenal) Portsmouth (Undisclosed )
Calum Davenport  (Tottenham) West Ham (Undisclosed )


Christino's Verdict:

Portsmouth is fast becoming Arsenal's recycle bin for players who are no longer needed by the management. With the way things are going, let's hope someday we see the likes of Rosicky, Hleb and Toure play for Pompey too grin

Sheffield are really recruiting, hope all these 2-2 millions can do the trick grin

Uncle SAM isn't buying Desailly out of retirement no more? And Chelsea are still trying Ben Haim, Young is giving Watford a hard time after rejecting a 10 million pound bid from West Ham, there's a fresh 8m bid from another club now, hope he takes it. Man U have placed 20million pounds under Bayern's nose but they aren't releasing Owen till the summer. And to top it all, Milan are interested in Ronaldo after Inter Milan have won all of their last 12 matches setting a new italian record. They are unbeaten so far this season with 16 wins and three draws.

Cheers.

4.48 shocked

Haba, sorry about that, if something can be done about it fine, but those Lecturers are bad belles and "saddists" giving a first class is like emptying their bank accounts, only the violent take it, of course by force.

You shoulda seen it coming anyway. I gave up all hopes of a glorious first in my second year (and i'm glad I did) because no one made it in my department at the crazy end of the day, so instead i spent valuable time in software development, extreme hip hop and game testing from Unreal tourney to Age of Empires (the conquerors), Half Life, USM98, Commandos, Quake and any reasonable PC game out there. Afterall 4.49 and 3.5 mean the same!I have a 3rd class friend who's raked in #2.3m in 16 months so far, "working from home" and that's brain man!

Does 1st class really matter? Yes and No. Yes if you are lucky, can recognize/seize opportunities and have a great bargaining power. No if you don't know your worth. Don't be surprised some first classes are out there looking for a "better" job.

It's a "favour"(not labour) market though and the best ain't always the richest. Press your department for your 0.02 points (man it's a whole lotta point) and no one wants to hear the story of how you almost made it but never did. If you are in the IT field, your first class ain't bad but you need to add value to yourself, specialise in one of the various fields and start writing your professional exams. Without this, OND holders (or people with NIIT diplomas) will rule you grin
Music/Radio23 Year Old Gt Guitarman Hits The Stands In April by Christino(op): 1:27am On Jan 20, 2007
Storm Records gets ready to unleash Gt The Guitarman
Nigeria’s leading record label Storm Records is preparing for the 2007 debut in April of debut album called “The Truth” from Gt The Guitarman who they believe will signal a new direction in Nigerian Music.

Born Gbemi in 1984, GT is a pure force of nature, with the looks of a teenager and the voice of an angel he almost looks too young to be allowed out late at night but his lyrics show a maturity that goes beyond his years. GT is making important music and at this point in time it has reached a level that Storm is proud to bring this natural talent out.

In January 2007 Gt’s first two videos will break out locally and internationally and all of those who love quality song writing and vocal delivery can get ready for a treat and for all you men out there hold onto your women, Gt might just steal their soul.

Expect Gt, Expect The Truth.
TO all "QUALITY" music lovers and lovers of Sound Sultan, we have a worthy alternative. I can't wait, this might be the first Naija CD i'll be buying with my own "Peanuts" grin

Believe me this guy is worth the wait. Storm records are just too lucky.

A Pastor met a police man on the Road. A careful look at the engine no.against what was on paper revealed that letter U was written in such a way that it could be mistaken for V. That was all the police needed to shout "stolen vehicle,the pastor called the OC to say he was a priest to which the officer replied if you are a pastor read Matthew 5:25, 26,The Pastor opened to the recommended passage and read:"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to a judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison.I tell you the truth you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.The man of God quietly made an "offering" of N100 to his newly found preacher.

Permit me to say that you have made the biggest mistake on Nairaland shocked

How dare you count the houses in Kano?

Flies don't live in houses, neither do cattle. Groundnuts abound in storage media and you are talking houses?

About 7 million Kano residents live underground, some live in the water, others are invisible shocked.

Flies live in the toilets and goats in barns, didn't your sattelite pick those, are they not Kano residents as released by Makama?

Please get your facts right ok? grin

@ Makama faithfuls, are you with me? don't mind Nigeria1, he's only hating, he wants a share of Makama's "money" grin let's accept this result with an open mind, animals are part of the world aren't they?
