South Africa Embassy queries NFF’s bogus list
…Denies FA chairmen visa


South Africa Embassy officials in Nigeria are amazed by the number of passports sent to them by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for visas. The Embassy authorities have queried what over 200 people would be doing in South Africa as delegates from Nigeria’s FA, and have subsequently denied most of them entry visas to watch the World Cup.

Daily Sunsports check revealed that officials of the embassy were shocked that in addition to executive members of the NFF, Football Association bosses in the 36 states of the federation and Abuja were included in the list of delegates, and wondered if they were going for a jamboree or for a World Cup.

They wondered why different committees were set up by several people listed as members for the World Cup when they are not the ones hosting the Mundial.

Stakeholders had queried the rational behind taking the 36 FA chairmen from all the states in the federation and Abuja to South Africa, but the football house never defended its action.

Aggrieved members of the public had reasoned that the forthcoming elections into the executive board of the NFF was behind the decision to take all the FA chairmen to the World Cup as a way of luring them to do their bidding when the election holds.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Supporters Club did not have it easy with the South Africa Embassy officials, as they drastically cut the number of the members wishing to be part of the club at the Mundial.

Ok i know this is the World Cup season but there's still a need to stay up to speed on other footballing matters.

Report - Benitez's reign ends `

Liverpool have announced manager Rafael Benitez has left the club by mutual consent after six years in charge.

Benitez, 50, replaced Gerard Houllier as Liverpool manager in June 2004 and guided them to Champions League and FA Cup success the following two seasons.

But last season they made an early exit from the Champions League and finished only seventh in the Premier League.

Managing director Christian Purslow and former manager Kenny Dalglish are to begin the search for a replacement.

The club said there is no timeframe for an appointment and they will make no further comment until a new manager has been installed.

Redknapp 'surprised' by Benitez decision

Benitez, who had four years of his five-year contract to run, finalised his departure after agreeing a severance payment and said he was "extremely sad" to be leaving the club.

"I'll always keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool," he told the club's website.

"I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager.

"Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone."

Recently appointed club chairman Martin Broughton thanked Benitez for his efforts, but said it was time for a new era.

"Rafa will forever be part of Liverpool folklore after bringing home the Champions League following the epic final [against AC Milan] in Istanbul but after a disappointing season both parties felt a fresh start would be best for all concerned," he said.

3 June 2010: Benitez leaves Liverpool by mutual consent

Former Valencia coach Benitez had been linked with Real Madrid and Juventus in recent months, but with both those clubs now having new men in charge he could be in the running to fill the vacant position at European champions Inter Milan following the departure of Jose Mourinho.

One thing that could delay the appointment of a permanent successor to Benitez at Anfield is the uncertainty over the club's future ownership.

Liverpool are £351m in debt and were put up for sale by co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett earlier this year.

The American pair's ownership of the Reds has been a long-running source of discontent for many fans, who are unhappy with the way the club is being run, and there have been regular protests and public disputes.

Benitez had a fractious relationship with the pair, who admitted sounding out former Germany coach Jurgen Klinsmann about the possibility of him taking over from Benitez at the end of 2007, when they feared the Spaniard could leave the club.

In the aftermath of Benitez's exit on Thursday, Anfield was the starting point for more protests against the American owners, with some supporters carrying banners reading "Gracias Rafa".

Nevertheless, Liverpool must move on with the search for Benitez's replacement.

BBC Sport understands that Academy Ambassador Dalglish is unlikely to play a role in the future management of the club, and the Reds are happy for Benitez's assistant, Sammy Lee, to take the reins until after the World Cup if necessary.

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson and Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill have been mentioned as potential targets to take over in the long term, as has former Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink, although he recently signed a contract to become coach of the Turkish national side.

But whoever takes the job may have to accept that major additions to the squad are unlikely without first selling players. BBC Sports News correspondent Dan Roan believes the new manager will have a summer transfer budget of between £10m and £15m.

606: DEBATE
Admittedly, the club was becoming stale, but deep down I still feel Rafa was the man to get us challenging again. Thank you for Istanbul, a brilliant 08/09 season and the FA Cup win

The lack of cash available to invest in players has led to fears over the futures of some of the club's main assets, with striker Fernando Torres and captain Steven Gerrard linked with possible moves.

Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina, one of several Spanish players brought to Anfield during Benitez's reign, expressed his regret at his compatriot's departure.

"It's obviously a sad day," said Reina after Spain's pre-World Cup warm-up match against South Korea.

"He was a very important person for the club for six years. Liverpool grew with him and Rafa also grew thanks to Liverpool.

"I hope that this crisis passes. That a person so important for the club as Rafa has left is news that you never would have expected and that you never would have believed.

"The only thing left for me is to thank him for his confidence during all this time. I wish him the best of luck."

Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson told BBC Sport that Benitez's biggest legacy would be the memory of the team's miraculous comeback to win the 2005 Champions League final.

Thompson wants stability at Liverpool

But Lawrenson said that ultimately Benitez was brought down by his failure to have cover for Torres when he got injured last season.

"He will be remembered for that unbelievable European Cup win when they came from 3-0 down to beat Milan [on penalties], which came very early and how fantastic that was, but he slipped up last year," he said.

"He didn't have a good enough replacement for Torres [when he was injured], and the season fell flat on its face."

In addition to that famous victory in Istanbul, Benitez brought the FA Cup to Anfield in 2006 when captain Gerrard produced a magnificent performance to help the Reds edge past West Ham on penalties.

But the Premier League title, the prize so desperately wanted by Liverpool fans who have had to watch bitter rivals Manchester United gradually draw level with their haul of 18 championships, proved agonisingly beyond Benitez.

Dolemite:
. . .what if your partner has uncontrollable bowel movement.

anyway people don't BECOME gay, they're born that way.

Oh please spare us that load of crap.The same tired line that has been used over & over again to justify a bestial b/haviour.For the records,nobody was ever born a homosexual,it creeps into the mind like thoughts on criminal behaviour & other vices we pick along the way.

ElRazur:
Can I just say your heading is a bit biased. While it is seen as punannii mutilation by most, it is however a cultural practice that exist in some places, and seen as "Female circumcision", just the same was a male circumcision.

Ideally, if this was a thread I started, in order to get a healthy debate going, I will shy away from such title that may give such stance of biasses. May be something along the lines of "Your thoughts on "female circumcision" ", "Is circumcision of the female, same as that of a male" etc and then putting your reasons.

With the way your thread is presented, you will get nothing other people saying they are against it. To me, it aint challenging and it bores me.

Anyway, Let me add that on a personal level, I am not sure it is something I will put any female through, or lend my support to. However, it is a cultural practices of some millions of people in Africa, it should be noted that these cultures do not see anything wrong with it, and it may take time to actually turn this around.

Yeah i probably left no room for dissent,may be i let my emotions run away with me.Anyways,i'l keep that in mind next time.Judging from your write up,you don't seem too vehemently against it.You come across as someone who could be swayed by strong arguments from friends & relatives that it is a necessity for healthy living.

Kobojunkie:
For the first time I am willing to be played. This is too good a news to be crap!!! Do you realize how much good this will do to the nation as a whole? Increase the spending power of the at least 1 million more people and BOOM . . .  development! I say pop that champagne in hopes that this is real . . . the end of poverty as we used to know it in Nigeria is here. lol

I can't bliv u swallowed this story lock,stock & barrel,jeez!The end is near.

Don't pop the champagne yet,this is just another ploy to make the rich richer.What has become of the health insurance scheme,the numerous pension schemes,the mortgage schemes?Nothing.
This scheme will also go the same route or turn into a religous issue or may be a census issue.Fellow Nlers don't get your hopes up,nothin works in Nigeria,it's all a charade don't be gullible.

I was in a seminar once relating to gender issues,women trafficking and FGM & i was surprised to see some women not completely against FGM but carrying it out properly on the premise of curtailing promiscuity.I was taken aback to say the least.

What are your thoughts on this sensitive issue,are there persons here who also share this opinion of proper female circumcision & why, let's brainstorm.

Earthqake,Tsunami May Hit Nigeria, Says Expert
• Coastal areas of N’Delta under serious threat


A British geology and earth education expert, has said that there is scientific evidence that Nigeria may be in danger of disastrous occurences of earthquake and tsunami, the type which had taken place in some parts of Asia.
The Director from the Earth Science Education Unit, Department of Education, Keele University, Mr. Chris King, yesterday said Nigeria could be in danger of major natural disasters including earthquakes and a tsunami.

King, who made the assertion in an interview with newsmen after a lecture at the Nigerian Geological Survey Agency (NGSA) in Abuja, however did not state exactly how and when the catastrophe would strike.
He said to guard against the usual huge impact accompanying the disaster, a geological training session for school teachers and students as well as intensified education of the populace on these natural disasters and ways of surviving them should they occur is recommeded.
He further disclosed that towns and villages along the coastal areas,especially in the Niger Delta region of the country, are exposed to greater hazards in the event of the Atlantic overflowing its shores and waves like that of the tsunami that occured in South-East Asia.

Speaking on the threat of volcanic eruptions, King said one of the islands in the Atlantic Ocean could set off a volcano that could
produce a tsunami that can sweep across the South Atlantic coastal areas of the Niger Delta, which could be really devastating if it happens; it is not very likely, but it could happen.

“There is also a possibility that a tsunami could hit Nigeria; the type of tsunami that hit South East Asia. So, it is important for
children and their teachers to know how to deal with these natural disasters when they occur, so they can make plans that could save their lives.”

“In the Camerouns, people have died from volcanic lakes in the past, and Cameroun is not very far from Nigeria. I don’t think we are going to see volcanic eruptions in Nigeria, but certainly we are going to have earthquakes. Even in the middle of plagues, you can have major earthquakes which can be very devastating.”, he said

“You can train the population what to do when tsunami is possible. The biggest problem today is that we know tsunami could hit Nigeria but we don’t even know what to do. So you need to train the population, to move to island, to move away from the coast and this could save lives if there is a tsunami. We need to train teachers on how to train this effectively. This is to educate more science teachers in Nigeria.”

He advised that the lectures on geology as it affects these major natural disasters be incorporated into schools’ curriculums at all
levels. “I teach them about earthquake and tsunami. And the lecture I gave two days ago was whether earthquake or volcanoes could affect Nigeria. And the truth is that earthquakes has happened in Nigeria back in the geological past and we do have minor earthquakes today. There has also been major volcanic eruptions in Nigeria in the past and it is possible in the future as wel".

"There is a possibility that a tsunami could hit Nigeria because there has been in South East Asia. Scientists and teachers know how to deal with this natural hazard then we make plans to save their lives. What we are teaching about can help us to understand how the earth works and how to save their lives", said.

According to King, however, the possibility of natural disasters occurring may not pose as much challenge as the capacity and ability of the country to manage them when they occur. King said the disaster resulting from these natural occurences can be
averted by training the populace to migrate from coastal region.

“The problem we have today is that if we knew a tsunami were to hit the country, no one will know what to do. You can have a tsunami warning system as they have in the Indian Ocean and in the Pacific Ocean.

“Also, you need to train the population in the coastal areas what to do in case a tsunami happens. You need to train the population that if a tsunami were to hit that they need to move to the highlands and move away from the coast: that will save their lives,” he noted.

While commenting on the benefits from mining sector, Director General, NGSA Prof Siyan Malomo noted that there have been foreign investment in the country’s mining sector but the nation would realize the impact in the next three to five years.

Mrs Osewa:
All of them are quite good except Michelin89. I think Michelin89 = Poo

Kai u dey harsh o!Anyways,at least u'r honest

As far as i'm concerned,this game is already in the kitty (9ja 3-Arg 2).I'm already thinkin of the next game

Idowuogbo:

Oga u are contradicting ursef big time , dont u tink d same love can conquer dat of the serial abortionist.
like u stated in your cliche,  u can also consider the aborter for d sake of love 2 now.
mehn come correct cus u sound perplexed .

No sire i hav not contradicted myself 1 bit. Say u reside in 9ja,chances are for society especially relatives to frown upon a man gettin married to a lady with a package failing to c that that woman lookin all pious & saintly may not even hav a womb followin series of D&Cs. Now my point is if this is what u chose to do then it's just fyn with me.

In any case it's a tough call to make,the reason why i did not state the leaning of my thoughts until i was compelled by Mr Siena.

Siena:
You can't sit on the fence on this one - you must have a choice, or are you waiting to see what responses you'll get, before giving yours?

Responses are bound to be varied,but methinks gettin married to a single mum isn't such a bad thing,as a matter of fact is perfectly alrite.Like the cliche goes 'love conquers all'.

Pls experts in the hs,the touch screen of my LGKC910 has suddenly stopped working.What cld be the problem?Thnx

Siena:
As the starter of the thread, it's customary for you to air your own views on this topic first.

What would be your choice?

Wow u put me on the spot there.What if i said i was the 1 in that position,caught between a rock & a hard place.What wld ur counsel be?

The question is self explanatory but In the case of the abortionist u'r well aware of the no. of D&Cs.Wld u still go ahead & marry rather than marry a woman that comes with a package?

Gabry:
This one be free world abeg!

I see u'r really struggling with ur pidgin english,prolly u nid some help

This is rubbish,ABSOLUTE RUBBISH!!Whom ever put that video up should pls taq it down asap

@Gabry,y do u continue to reel off all diz names?Just maq a choice of 1 or 2,is that so hard to do

Since it feels like that time of the year 'the Mod season',what with all the topics on moderators.I hav decided to join the fray. Lately a mod actually felt like he was walking on water,arrogating to himself the status of 'numero uno'deprecating fellow mods & using earth quaking grammar to put em down.

Let's hear from you,who do you think is doing/has done a great job in livening up this forum.A mod you'd refer to as a 'breath of fresh air'

This is all the help you need-http://www.helpsstopsnoring.co.uk/

I'm not sure i understand you. Do you mean 5k to cover feeding and transport? Then you must be joking. If you must get an escort be ready to fork out no less than 10k. Or you just drive it yourself & trust in God.

Another fine boy thread Can't we find something else to talk about

john david:
Because you snore

Of course i do especially when heavily sedated by alchohol but wat has that got to do with having the same topic posted twice on the home page.Somebody is sleeping on his/her job.

Do we have two mods flexing muscles?How come there are two topics on the same issue on the homepage on the same day
