okay, DK to try and acheive some sort of devil's truce here, if we agree to remove the "Youth Policy" tag and call it a "Young Professional" policy would that suffice?  undecided
Note that the Nomenclature is an attempt to differentiate between those developed fully in house (15 and below), the fruits of which we are just starting to see, and those that came between 15 and 18 after showing some promise from other clubs or starring in Youth competitions of any sort (FIFA, UEFA or CAF).
nope!
you are getting it wrong. youth policy is what it simply means, youth policy. nurturing home grown talents to develop in the club's academy so they can understand the ethos of the club at a very young age. because young talents are easier to steal on the continent for english clubs, smart premier league managers spread their tentacles to catch the half-developed youths in spain, italy, holland, etc before these boys are due for a professional contract in their respective home countries. if these players spend 3 yrs(the required number of years in the club academy in england), then they are the products of that academy.

in walcott's case, he's a product of southampton's academy. he never passed through arsenal's academy.
cesc fabregas spent around 12 months in arsenal's academy. it's like a student who had completed ss-one and ss-two in a school, then changed school and completed ss-three in the new school, so you would say fab4 is a partial-product of arsenal's academy and so on and forth. the age these players joined the academy is not the key. the real mccoy is whether they completed the necessary three years in the academy before graduating into the senior team.

The major point I'm trying to help yu see is that it is wrong to label Owusu Abeyie a failure of the Arsenal youth/young professional policy or whatever yu choose to call it and refuse to label Cesc Fabregas a success of that same policy when they both arrived at London Colney at the age of 16 with the difference between them being that one had been dropped by his previous club due to attitude problems while the other had just being named the Golden Player in both UEFA and FIFA youth competitions. You either say both are not Arsenal youth players and start to judge the Arsenal youth policy from Wilshere/Lansbury/Gibb's set or accept that both are products of the same policy with one being a success and the other a failure.
owusu abeyie and fabregas are both failure of wenger's epileptic youth policy.
the reason is simple: they have not won anything under wenger. wilshere/lansbury and gibbs remain to be seen if they will turn arsenal's fortunes around but it's not looking likely. wenger's youth policy has failed. yes, few talents have come out of his academy but the policy has failed to return just one trophy since wenger started plucking youths all over the continent.

Sahara reporters are a shameful bunch,
useless, shameless, disgraceful, pathetic, idiotic and moronic bunch of journalists.
anyone going there to find some credible must also be re[i]t[/i]arded - this is about the 100th time these plonkers at saharareporters will manipulate news reports to create sensationalism and gullible nigerians believe whatever they can feed on the internet.

i expect somebody to throw the book at sahara reporters very soon. get their editor-in-chief and lock him up with clifford orji in jail.

They played pretty well and it was worth the match, the back is suspect but if you have strikers that can score goals, then you really do not have a "problem".
they played more than very well. i wonder why the super eagles don't move the ball with pace like these youngsters. . . .but they are a liability in the defence. very vulnerable to set-pieces but that dude uche nwofor is the new torres. he came on as a substitute and took the croatians to the cleaners with smart positional play. musa and kayode were also very good but time will tell later in the competition.

for now, the boys are doing me proud.

the women know what to do, and they clean it properly - call the women in your village and ask if unwashed cassava will not kill an entire village if eaten raw.

Does playing the CL finals matter?

Carlos Alberto played Ronaldo Lima never did.

Angelo Di Livio played Roberto Baggio never did.

Jermaine Pennant played Paul Gascoigne never did
since 2004, champions league matters
in the days of ronaldo lima, baggio and gascoigne - playing for the national team was far more important than playing for the club.
but since the era of foreign ownership and billionaires throwing all kinds of cash to football clubs, playing for the club now takes more importance than playing for the national team. dayo, get used to the modern era.

nani will not play with players who have never experienced winning the champions league before.
schweini - nope, nil
robben - will never win anything in the continental level.
neuer - conceded 6 goals to nani's team barely 4 months ago.
muller - mu-who? try mu-tual.
ribery - never won anything in europe(elite or sub-elite)

Cos nani want to play with better players than the average Valencias, Carrick and Ashley Young of this world

An opportunity to play with Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Neuer, Robben, Gomez, Muller and Ribery cant be passed
how many champions league finals have those nazis played in their respective careers?
now compare with nani whose current team-mates has played 3 times in a champions league final in the last 4 seasons and whose team has won the premier league(the toughest league) in the world 4 times in the past 5 seasons.

nani is too good for bayern. this is a non-story. grin cheesy

I pray that Mustapha will be safe. Most of the Yoruba's are talking about democracy just to be identified so that the sharing of the egunje will reach them. Wale Soyinka was shouting against IBB, until he was given the Marshal of Federal Road Safety, then he kept quiet. Let the judge not step down questions in court, he should ask Mustapha to support the names of those involved with the documents tendered in court. We are following the case with keen interest
not entirely true.
soyinka's protest was the loudest during the abacha regime.

Politics is a dirty game. Those you think have dirty hands might not and those you think were saints may be murderers. It's really confusing. Maybe Al-Mustapha was released because Ige and Adesanya are dead. Someone said they couldn't kill him because he was in jail, Didn't MKO die in jail? Idk sha. I guess the Hausa's would have revolted if he died in jail.
He should put the video on Youtube and flee the country. If the video makes sense then whatever else he wants to tell us, we would believe.
al-mustafa is one of them. he understands their modus operandi. it's like expecting c.t.u.agents to kill jack bauer(24). . . . .abiola was a civilian. what does he know? he wouldn't smell a rat if you show him guinea-pig.

U bunch must be talking of some kind of cassava i don't know. D process of cassava has always been simple and straight 4wrd
Ironically, one of the plant’s chemicals that make it so hardy also poisons humans [/b]if care is not taken before consuming it.
[b]The problem with cassava is that the leaves and roots of the plants contain linamarin which when consumed can cause the production of cyanide in the body if the plants are not processed correctly
. This is more of a problem when there is a famine and the plants are not cleaned, dried, boiled or baked properly in the rush to get this food source to starving people. The plant should not be eaten raw. Another issue contributing to the improper processing is the short shelf-life of the plant. The plant must be processed quickly.

Don't forget that while some people bath with Dettol soap,others use dudu osun.
that baba was one of those who used dudu osun.
what makes you think he died a natural death? if abiola wasn't in prison, his death wouldn't have been suspicious. abacha suddenly died in the company of indian sluts. is that even comprehensible?

nigeria: i hail thee. if the lives of important personalities can be snuffed like cigarette butts, what is the hope of the common man in that country? and yet we wonder why people are ready to take bribes in nigeria. sometimes, the bribery is forced. it's either you take the money or die. not taking bribe is seens as non-compliance.

there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel for al-mustapha in his trial.so, slam!, he brings out his joker.i see an end to this murder trial in less than 6 months.
al-mustapha has probably started his personal count-down to freedom to enjoy his loot stashed away somewhere.
after years of dealing with some of the worst dealers and shady character this nation has known, did you all think he hadn't learnt a thing or two?
if he walks, i'm sure we all know who to hold responsible is the past lagos state govt as then led by tinubu
i will give that to him.
he has to be the most intelligent military brass i have seen or heard. his eloquence is second to none. his intelligence will rival einstein's and i don't expect him not to have a backdoor route he intends to use to avoid the book being thrown at him. at the same time, he's a man with nothing to lose. people like him in this situation don't shy away from the truth cos they know they are screwed either way.

This case has shown us that the people we think that speaks for us are against us. NEDECCO of all people.

Believe me that tape will disappear b4 tomorrow, unless Al-Mustapha has a duplicate copy its as good as the tape did not exist in the first place. Mustapha might even disappear b4 tomorrow and we will be back to square one.

I've heard this theory many times but I'm not so sure it's true if you consider the fact that Abiola Costello sued him to an american court for complicity in her father's death or something along those lines. I can't remember the exact details now
abdusalam covered his arse very well - he won't be found guilty. that autopsy by the americans pretty much sealed and signed his innocence.
i bet they pondered over the future of nigeria then that the only way to ensure peace was to get rid of the two warring factions(abiola vs abacha). had abiola died in detention under abacha's stewardship, nigeria would have disintegrated. . . . . .so they took abacha out first.

the more reason why this story is believeable. . . . .

the others died as a result of the secrets they know(they were possibly killed by the same people). . . . .mustafa has been in jail for 11 yrs, they cannot reach him to slaughter, the others could be reached to kill.

i have always suspected bola ige's especially post-abiola's death. . . . . .he went from power minister to attorney general. dining with the beasts of that government then. but then, abiola didn't cover himself in glory if you take a long look at all the coup d'etats he has sponsored in nigeria. it's a case of give and take but backstabbing abiola whilst deceiving the entire population that june 12 mandate should prevail is a felony against the state.

if this is true, then bola ige killed with the sword and died by the gun.

Sun of god:
I suspect IBB's name will come into the mix soon.

Somehow I dont think he was just sitting back relaxing when all this treachery was going on.
ibb is too intelligent to be caught in such fuckery. . . . . . . .there was a pact between him and abacha to take a back seat - reasons why ibb couldn't make abiola the president in 1993. as i was told by a top military brass - that pact was formed during the orka coup of 1990. it was abacha's loyal troops that saved ibb from orka's men in dodan barracks. an agreement was reached that day that the next ruler of nigeria must be general abacha.
