i can's stop thinking about my visits to some other African countries then comparing them to nigeria the self acclaimed giant of africa.
they have quality roads, hospitals, security, steady power supply, their educational system are like what nigeria used to have in the 70s and 80s and you see them dance, drink and enjoy for gaining admission into their universities not like a trader sitting in alaba and gaining admission in UNN.
in my area in ajah - lekki here in lagos, this is 3 weeks without any sign of electricity yet, we will pay our monthly charges without asking why.
internet connections are paid for in nigeria without been used for one full day.
nigeria is full of fraud both at co-operate level and govt levels.
where and what is the fate of nigeria and nigerians?

A 34-year old man, Effiong Edet, who touched a woman’s bosom without her consent has been sent to Kirikiri Prison Apapa, Lagos State Southwest Nigeria.
He was remanded after he was arraigned before the court for allegedly assaulting a woman, Adijatu Sanni.
Adijatu also claimed that Edet did not only touch her bosom, but also fondled her, including  her private part thereby debasing her as a woman.
The embittered woman lamented that since Edet has touched her bosom and private part, he has used her to satisfy his intimate desire without her consent.
She went to Trinity Police Station and reported that Edet assaulted her.
The police arrested and charged him to Apapa Magistrate’s court for assault under Sections 358 and 355 of the criminal code cap 17 Vol. 2 Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria.
When the charge was read to him, he pleaded not guilty.
The presiding Magistrate, Mrs. A K Shonubi, granted the accused bail.
He was remanded in Kirikiri Prison Apapa, pending when he will fulfil his bail conditions.
Edet was alleged to have assaulted Adijatu by touching her bosom and her private part while she was going home after work.

thank u so much, when we were dating the relationship was fantastic, we were always together we went everywhere together, i never saw that side of him. but then b4 i agreed to date him - he went thruogh my friends, in fact i felt he was disturbing me too much, but we really understood each other, i cant believe how the relationship turned around.i have talked to him, i have cried n cried, i have done silly things like warning 2 different girls to leave him alone( via text msgs) , that he is a married man. he prefers to go for his occassions alone without me, i always want to follow him but he always gives me excuses, like when i was pregnant, i wanted to follow him for is niece s birthday party, he said he didnt want to because i was pregnant and that he is just being careful and all that, i understood. abt 2 months back, his cousin had his wedding, i told him i wasnt going if the wedding is in an opened ground because of our baby, he told me that it was in a hall, on that day he left the house early and told me he wanted to take the groom to the location and come back for us, i waited and waited for him, i called he cut off the line and sent me a text that the place was too noisy, i asked if he was still coming to pick us, he replied back, saying no because the wedding place is an open ground, he confuses me, he stands me up alot. even our wedding anniversary he got home 12.30am the next day, i told him ill never forget that: i asked him if he still loves me he said honestly he still loves me, and that he is still very much attracted to me - that i remind him of when we first met. i ve bottled up so much of all these, i need to tell someone, im surrounded by other married couples, who go out with their children @ weekends and all that. he leaves me alone all weekends. about 3 sundays ago, he went to his friends house, when it was after 9pm he called me to tell me that his friends and their wives are hanging out somewhere and they invited him so he is coming home late. i felt so unhappy, his friends take their wives with them when going out, while he prefers to be on his own,, he has his good sides too, when he had a job he gave me all i ask for, i wasnt even spending my salary then and thats why i dont mind taking the home responsibilities now that he has no job,,,, i really dont mind because i know its just a temporary phase of life. this is the 3rd day we havent said a word to each other. i need a marriage/relationship cousellor to talk to both of us. i prefer a stranger who doesnt know him and i. if anyone can reccommend a good relationship cousellor, i ll be grateful. i have so much bottled inside of me, so many things he had done to me in this early time of marriage

dayokanu:
i think 4-4-2 is slightly outdated and can easily be exploited.

Most teams just use 4-2-3-1. The Lone striker needs to be very mobile and drop deep  into midfield while the 2 wing forward are pseudo striker who can score (Germany-Muller/Podolski, Barca- Pedro/Villa,, Bayern Robben Ribery Muller.) Valencia isnt that much of a goal threat.

Also Carrick cant do the marking alone and the middle would be exploited if only Carrick is there. Question marks about Youngs marking. Moreover carrick is not a Makelele styled marker.

Dont let Busquet deceive you because barcelona system alone starves the opposition of the ball and their forwards harras you from the top.

Your formation can work vs many lower side who would barely attack your middle, but you cant play Madrid(Alonso-Khedira ozil), barca(Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta), bayern(Gustavo, Schweisteiger Muller),  etc with that Ferguson wont even dare

This argument is never going to end so we are going to have to agree to disagree.

nateevs:
How difficult is this to understand? You are a very big i.diot if you cannot understand a simple thing.

I responded to a constant request by Chelsea fans wanting Wingers. They are not asking for players that can be deployed as wingers.
If they were, they will ask for any player because any player player can be deployed as a winger. I responded by saying we do not need these players. We only need intelligent players who can be deployed in any position wing play or not. Exactly what Barca do. They deploy players who are not wingers to play in positions of the wing. And you busy making my point for me with every single post telling me I am wrong.

Everything you say is just a load of insult and repetition. However, this sums up your stark idiocy. I did not claim Barca did not play without "deployed wingers" . . . Rather I said Barca did not play without specialist wingers in response to insistence that we need "wingers" . . . By Wingers, Chelsea fans mean specialist wingers. If Chelsea fans woke up one morning hearing the news that Chelsea had just put in a bid for David Villa, the first question will be do we need him?  No one will come up with the idea that he is a winger. . because no he is not a winger, he is a Striker.

Oya me sef I copy my own. Why we no see winger there? According to you Villa is a winger because he plays on the flanks on a 4-3-3. He is a striker. Yes he can play on the wing and may have been deployed there many times, he is not a winger. Simple. I cannot understand how your brain cannot decipher something so very straight forward.

nateevs:
The lack of comprehension is on your part dude. The emboldened makes my point for me. Like you keep doing. They are players who play natural positions and you call them that because of where they play. The main difference is when you talk of wingers, you say Subject "is a" winger. However when the person is not a winger you say Subject "played as a" winger. And there-in lies a gulf of difference.

What you are doing is setting a precedence that will rapidly expunge your defense.

Pedro Eliezer Rodríguez Ledesma (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpeðɾo roˈðɾiɣeθ leˈðezma]; born 28 July 1987), commonly known as Pedro or Pedrito, is a Spanish footballer who plays for FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team. He plays as either a forward or winger, the ambidextrous nature of his game means he can play on either side of the pitch

Example. Michael Essien played as a RB, for a majority of the 05-06 Chelsea season. Is it then football savvy to suggest a comparison between Maicon and Essien? No? Imagine someone walks up to you saying Chac, is Maicon better than Essien? The first question you ask the person is wherein lies the basis of comparison? One is a midfielder, the other is a defender. . . . aha! Does that ring a bell.

If the argument above is true. Then there are players that you refer to as wingers. Not by virtue of where they have been deployed to play for a handful of games but because of their natural positions.
Would it make sense to start up an argument saying [i]"Carrick is better than Shaun Wright Phillips" [/i]just because Grant stumbled on a decision to play SWP in midfield? No!

SWP is a winger, Carrick is a midfielder. If Fergie decides to play Carrick on the flanks, does that now justify a reason to compare Carrick with Giggs. No!
So because players play on the flanks don't mean they are wingers. They have been deployed as wingers, they are not wingers. A truck load of insults cannot make your points any clearer.

I am not distorting the fact st.u.pid. Chelsea fans want specialist winger. I tell them we don't need one because Barca tore Utd apart without one.
Is that true? Yes!. Barcelona did not play with a winger. They played with players who can play on the wing. Simple to understand.

ritchboy:
Nateevs is a phucking phat phool
According to the chump, a player cannot be associated with more than one position, i.e Giggs made his name as a winger therefore he cannot be called a CM.
The boy needs deliverance.

Our views expressed on this forum may not fully serve it's intended purpose of breaking the trend of suicides taking hold of Nigeria, but alas, everyone will agree that the views expressed here will help to increase public awareness on the selfishness of the act of suicide. We all know that there can be no justification whatsoever for a young lady/guy to commit suicide, but then, it's their life. The reason why we call their actions selfish is not because we are trying to infringe on their freedom to do whatever they want to do with their life, but rather, it is because her actions will definitely affect her friends and family she left behind. Take it or leave it, but suicides for whatever reason should be denounced, it is un-Nigerian, alien to our culture, defeatist, and immoral.

nateevs:
It's easy to understand if only you open your mind. The issue is not about formation, it's about tactics. You cannot automatically call someone a winger because they play on the wing. Does not mean everyone that plays on the wing is not a Winger. 4-3-3 or 4-4-2, na you sabi. A winger is Nani, Valencia, Giggs. If you dispute that, dare call Anelka a winger. I have asked you that and you cannot. Is Iniesta a winger?

That someone can be and is deployed to play in midfield does not make them a midfielder. A midfielder is a a player whose natural role it is to play in midfield. Which is different from midfield play. If you deploy Giggs to play behind two strikers, he does not automatically become a Central midfield. All these charts you wasted time to go copy from the internet cannot change my mind.

You are making my argument for me. Most often than not, you'd find pundits and followers of the game say Ronaldo plays in attack. No one says he is a striker. Which is the same argument I am making. Iniesta is not a winger. He can play on the wing. What is soo difficult to understand? Didier Drogba is not a defender but if deployed as an extra man in defense for the rest 30 mins of every game in a season to defend against last minute aerial threats, does that make him a defender? No? He played in defense. Just like Iniesta play on the wing, and Messi did and Anelka did. . .but they are not wingers.

Football has evolved man but some things remain. . . and the evolution of football is what allows players like Anelka play on the wing. So is Anelka a winger? Some things don't change. A winger is Alexis Sanchez. . . however, he'd been deployed to play in central midfield many times last season. Is Alexis a CM? Nasri at some point in Arsenal's past season played on the left of a 4-3-3. Is Nasri a winger?

The heights of incoherence. Making my argument for me continually. Anelka is a striker not a winger regardless of how many times he played on the wing.
Oh I see now you've found the interesting phrase "In that very game" . . . but hold on!. Let's rewind back to where this whole thing started from.


[b]Chelsea fans say "We need wingers" . . .  What do you think they were referring to? Players who can be converted to the wings? No? The want a Giggs, Nani, Valencia, Sanchez, Turan.

Nateevs says "no we don't need wingers" . . We only need intelligent players who can play on the flank, play other roles, drift wide, skip past a player or two and find a cross or another pass.

I then go on and explain how the winger shitzo is over played and unnecessary and how Barca don't ever use "Wingers". . (bear in mind the Chelsea fan wingers) and citing the example of the CL in which Utd had specialist wingers and Barca had nnone yet there was a gulf in ability and you kicked off a series of fruitless arguments. [/b]


Now with you coming back to tell me the phrase you should have used all along "Winger In the game" . . Who is right and who is wrong? Ode jati jati.

follypimpi:
Am not a fan of jaglieka, would take samba over him.

nateevs:
You had better just say you never understood my argument. I know exactly what I am saying dude. Barca did not and do not play with wingers. And that's why I clearly stated that there is a difference between Wingers and Wing Play. What Barca do is play with the wings using intelligent players who can skip past one or two and make quick return passes. That's wing play.

I tell you again, for most parts of the season past, Iniesta played on the left of a 4-3-3, is Iniesta a winger? Messi played predominantly on the right of a 4-3-3 during the time of Frank Rijdkaard. Would you call Messi a winger as a result?

A winger is a definition of a type of player. Like Robben, Beckham, Finidi George. They play from the flanks only and they more often than other players have the ability to whip crosses in from the wings. They are players who naturally stretch play and hug the bylines.

Now any player can be made to play that position if they have the intelligence to do so. In that instance they cease being called Wingers because they are not. And that's the reason my friend you refer to Anelka as a wing forward instead of a winger. Why didn't you call him a winger? You are making my argument for me because you know he is not.

ritchboy:
^^ Nateevs has the intellectual capacity of a discombobulated tapeworm. . . No need explaining.

Anyone who says Pedro is not a winger or didn't play as a winger in the UCL final should be taken out back and shot.

debosky:
Enough already - those that believe it is an unparalleled Wenger-centric achievement should hold on to their views, while those who clearly recognise the difference between the board's influence and the manager's contribution should do the same.

nateevs:
Bunch of idiots who don't understand tactics. Because someone plays on the wings means he is a winger? I am laughing.
Villa was a top central striker for Valencia for how many years? He plays on the wing for spain in a handful of matches, Ritchboy calls him a winger. . I mean, just look at this bull.s.hit.

Let me give you an example. Anelka has played on the right of a 4-3-3 for Chelsea for about 3 years. . . . yeah yeah Anelka is a winger. You see how silly it looks? Utter nonsense. Go and count the number of time Iniesta starting wide left for Barca. . . Yeah, he is a winger.

Thanks guys, i was just wondering besides DNA is there any other cheaper and easily accessible proven procedures to confirm a childs pertenity even though it might not b 100% as accurate, ill like to profer an option if the DNA route 4 him would be daunting.
pls if u have info. kindly share.

chamotex:
4-1-3-2 is similar to the 4-4-2 formation.
The debate has always been how effective will Sneijder be in that formation.

chamotex:
^^^We've got like 7/8 strikers anyway . . . . way too much. Last night we play 4 of them (now add Chachrito, Welbeck and Berbatov)
So even if we play with 3 forwards, they cant all get games.

chamotex:
Coogar, we cant play this formation (its possible at OT) . . . its too open and will expose our back four especially away from home.
It is similar to a 4-4-2 anyway with Carrick holding and Sneijder in the hole behind the strikers.
I prefer the 4-2-3-1 with wingers in the "3"

dayokanu:
You cant use this formation vs any decent team without getting mauled.

Only Carrick to mark?

chamotex:
I know that is the attacking overview but its too risky.
Sneijder is not particularly defensive minded in any way . . . he's not the kind of player that will be happy to drop off deep behind the ball at all times.

If they all drop off when defending . . . it only confirms what I've said earlier that its similar to the 4-4-2 formation anyways with Carrick the Dm and Sneijder the AM.

ritchboy:
I remember Leo putting four goals past Arsenal in one of the most scintillating individual performances in the history of association football, without Iniesta on the field.

Xavi has hardly missed a big game(i can't remember any right now) since the Barca/Messi dominance under Pep.

Can you explain to us why Leo had more assists than these so-called midfield generals COMBINED?

Messi plays as a striker for Barcelona, not all the time, but he does.

Really? I was more impressed by Coentrao.

Fat Ronaldo is probably the best center forward of all time but he still can't lace Leo's training boots.

Maradona and (especially) Pele played in a less competitive time were goalies could catch back-passes. Messi is playing in a more competitive era were tactics have evolved to another level.

In any case, Messi still trounces them both puond for pound.

nateevs:
Dunce!!!. . Need I explain to you the difference between "wingers" and "wing play"?

Not really. But its all semantics. And The average Nigerian puts him/herself forward first because no one else will. If we live a better society where Cops don't ask for N20 at every checkpoint, or the senators don't pay themselves $2 million/year, Nigerians would be less selfish. Just saying!!!!

owo2390:
the majority isn't corrupt, the minority is. We need to educate the majority and harm ourselves with knowledge only then can we rise up and challenge those corrupt officials. No one need 2o cars or 10 houses. We can strive to live in a society where everyone has a place to eat, a place to sleep, and a place to get a good education. Only then can we eradicate corruption, once and for all.

Thank you

omopatos:
I am deeply touched by the story of this lady. You can only imagine the pain she had been through. This lady had a benefit of good education and she was not in lack of good job. She however had issue with her womb. She must have laboured under the thought of being a childless woman and the attendant social stigma. Honestly, we have a terrible culture around here which makes it look like there is no life without a child. This is not true. Civilization has not changed some people’s view of life- not even the supposedly sophisticated among them. Her situation was not helped by her fiancée who was probably her only motivation for living. She got abandoned when she needed him the most.
It is easy to hurl blame at this man for the lady’s unsavoury fate but truth is, how many of us men can stay having been in the know of the state of her womb before marriage? Few, for sure. But this is not supposed to be so. This life is not a flower in the garden. We all have issues and no one is immune against life’s vicissitudes. I guess the impact of the news shattered whatever remained of her courage to live. I know of people who are living with more terrible issues but for this sister, it was just too much for her depressed mind and she had to call it quit. I do not support suicide but we should be careful to blame her.
Please do not under-estimate the power of depression. To say it is devastating is to make an oversimplification of a serious issue. I have suffered depression big time. In fact,I doubt seriously if I have recovered fully from it. So I am eminently qualified to talk about it. In depression, it is you against the whole world. Living makes no sense to you. Your university Degrees or good job makes no sense either. You just want to get out of this system of things.
The question is: where is the place of love in all of this?
To our sisters in here, next time a man says he loves you, it will not be too much of a request to ask him to define it. Love is not a walk in the park. Think with your head because in a matter of the heart, logic is always in short supply. A man will say he loves you, yet he wants to force his way into your virginals. Please ask him to define that kind of love. When you are pregnant, he asks you to abort it before taking you to the altar. Again ask him to define that kind of love. If you abort and are unfortunate to have complications during evacuation which results, probably, in a similar case of the lady in question, he abandons you in the most unfriendly way. I like to say here that complications from abortion is just one of several reasons that could necessitate removal of womb. I am not in any way insinuating this was what happened to this sister since I am not privy to what transpired in the relationship, but my point is that ladies should be on guard because the are always at the receiving end.
And to my male folk, the fact that you leave a lady for another is not a guarantee that the new one does not or will not have issues. In fact, it could be worse. People get married and later in life suffer one disease or the other. It could be cancer or impotence. But nobody will come out to announce what he or she is going through because life must go on. And that is the time this real love we pretend to understand will be on call. I wish this lady had found that kind of love. Good bye, Motunrayo

ritchboy:
A. Saying Messi can only play well with Xavi/Iniesta "supplying" him is a bit daft considering the fact he's still at his mercurial best for Barcelona when either of the duo are not playing, and he had more assists than both of them COMBINED last season.

B. Messi doesn't play as a striker for Argentina, it's pretty idiotic to be counting how many times he's scored for them considering the fact he creates 40-50% of their goals.

C. Messi was EASILY Argentina's best player at the World Cup/Copa America. If Argentina bombed at both competitions then there are underlying causes, none of which go by the name "Messi".

D. Messi is not the GREATEST player of all time, he's simply the BEST.

@ Bashy, nobody is saying you should not cheat on your wife, please do by all means and have fun, and don't insult people just because they are telling you their mind and how they feel about men that cheat on their wives, since you openly accepted, what do you think?, people will hail you for being the 'best cheat'. what is bad is bad, and there is no way you can justify or beautify your reasons for cheating on your wife.   The person being paid is a LovePeddler (whether it is secondary/tertiary form of prostitution) and the person paying, is a LovePeddler, so it is not all about the single ladies that is opening their legs.
