all i know is arsene wenger will get it right this time.

D sage:
The fresh graduates at OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY who were just received their call up letter for batch B 2011 NYSC programm has refused to go to BORNO STATE{i.e BOKO HARAM STATE}for their youth service due to the present situation and incessant killing of people by great boko haramist in the state.The demand made by this people not to go to any nothern state,especially borno state which is the sources of Boko Wahala are yet to be answered. What you people think,are they in right position to diside themself where to exercise their NYSC or not,do you support their resistance to such offer?TO ME I CANT GO TO WHERE THEY WILL KILL ME FOR MY PARENT,simple.What about you?

the inspector general of police should arrest the director-general of nysc for his sheer incompetence and attempting to aid in the murder of innocent corp members. in developed countries, he will be sacked for even putting borno state on the call-up letters of the nigerian youths.

Are you sure of this? I thought the UK is like the US where citizenship by virtue of birth alone is the norm?

that changed after dec 31st 1983. anyone born after this date is not a citizen by virtue of birth alone. morale of the story: never f[i]u[/i]ck with a female prime minister.

Gibbs will take over from Clichy. 

Im actually glad Clichy moved to City. At least I can say that we have actually helped in reducing the strength of a rival team

if this is sarcasm then you have punched deborah in his gob.

Only obtainable in a lawless state like Nigeria!
Your entitlement to police orderly is cos your papa get money. . . . .money u didn't know how it came about.

My office used to close to Adenuga Towers and it's always a sight seeing him drive himself in a sports car
or his BMW 7 series with a Hilux truck filled with policemen in tow and i am wondering if that's the President passing by.

Just a crazy nation. Whomever it is he beat should sue his arse and claim some of his father's money off him

his father obviously pays for the protection. . . . .

let's get something straight here. . . . .having a truck of mobile policemen detailed to someone is no big deal. if you are utterly minted, you can get the same service for $$$$. paddy adenuga will be mobbed by lagosians if he walks freely. we all see what area boys do to ordinary nollywood stars let alone the son of a rich mogul(mike adenuga). i have no problem with him walking around with bodyguards but their behaviour must be checked. there's media in nigeria, somebody should write to the big media houses and make this known. the pen is mightier than the gun.

Mehn eminem's lyrical prowess is out of this world!
That guy no be ordinary human o!

let's not forget royce da 5'9 too. he kept up with eminem in all the tracks. the pace at which the duo delivered their punchlines is mind-blowing. by far, the rap album of the year so far.

I wonder oooooooo

The kids are now citizens, omo onile. I double dare the Brits to maltreat them, and let them see me contribute my savings to their defense fund like its going out of fashion.

the kids are not citizens. . . . .their parents are not so the kids are pure nigerians but they still need care.

The woman is blameless. Only a fooooool would blame her. This is real life, got to do what you got to do to SURVIVE. If you are not cheating the system, you are not trying enough, so i was told.

she didn't even cheat the system. she has suffered multiple miscarriages in a chaotic country called nigeria. it's only reasonable for her come to the united kingdom and deliver her quintuplets. i would rather my tax pays for this woman's babies than the thousands of british yobs who go in and out of rehabs or the ones who stay at home doing nowt and signing on every week.

thameamead:
she needs to thread carefully, she's found a lawyer to represent her but the Tory led governments are not sympathetic to people like her, they would see her as scrounger costing the Nhs thousands of pounds while the people that make huge contributions to the conservative party pay no taxes at all,hmmmm.  the british governement can use money from some of the assets seized from some of Nigerian politicians to fund her care. I remember the case of an illegal Ghanian woman with cancer deported back to Ghana when labour was in power. Maybe the likes of Pastor Ashimolowo and other Pentecostal Pastors should come together and donate some of  their over the top salaries towards those little angels.

there's nothing the tories can do about her case. . . . .hers is an exceptional case.

she came into the country pregnant(that is where the fault lies), as at the time she was due, no airline could have shipped her back to nigeria to deliver her quintuplets. that she also had 5 babies to deliver isn't her fault. the tories should take this on the chin and accept sometimes they have to deal with issues like this. the last time i checked, the brits play the big brother role. they can deal with this.

won't this woman even need a 6-bedroom house in the heart of swiss cottage, 2 maids and 1 butler to take care of her quins?

Ibime:
Jose Enrique is far superior to Clichy. Wenger better make sure he cops that boy as replacement cos everyone else is out of his price range.

Rumours doing the rounds is that Inter have pipped Arsenal to Ricky Alvarez. Na so Wenger slow reach? E go dey discuss transfer for 2 months sotay another club just enter collect the player.

The contract negotiation with Nasri dragged on for so long that before you knew it, Nasri was getting double-price offers elsewhere. Although Nasri is worth 110k per week, I can understand Wengers reluctance as he doesn't want Wilshere, RVP and Song approaching him for the same kind of mullah.

nasri is worth £110k per week? by what standard? what has he won with club/country to even justify that wage-packet?

Manchester City have rejected a transfer request from Carlos Tevez, after the Argentinian striker informed the club of his desire to leave. City have also expressed their disappointment at the "actions of his representative" over the matter.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/dec/12/manchester-city-reject-carlos-tevez-transfer

tevez also withdrew his request before any club made an official bid for him. 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/9306875.stm

till today, ferguson hasn't made any official bid for nasri but look around. . . . .every newspaper has reported nasri is coming to us for £20 million.

Charlie Adam has submitted a formal transfer request to Blackpool after being blocked over a move to Liverpool but his club have rejected his demand to move on.


http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jan/24/charlie-adam-transfer-request-liverpool

What happened to the above transfer request and also what happened to the Rooney transfer request

rooney withdrew his request, he signed his contract barely days later. . . . i dunno the details of charlie adam's transfer request but i won't be surprised if the guardian is just telling porkies. i cannot believe anything in the media until i see a credible quote from the club itself.

dayokanu:
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=658636&sec=transfers&cc=5901

it's one thing to wish, it's another thing to act on your wishes. when torres knew liverpool wouldn't sell him to a rival club. . . .he threw in a transfer request. the club must now set a price tag on that player. . . .if the buying clubs matches the price-tag, there's nothing the selling club can do.

dayokanu:
Riberys saga was just a season ago

Evidence you say?
http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=652800&sec=transfers&cc=5901

that's one part of it. . . . .

kindly show me where any of ribery or ballack threw in a transfer request and bayern munich tore the documents to shreds. . . .failure to produce that, your arguments here are null and void.

you have proven madrid showed interest, now show us where the player also made it known he wanted to leave bayern and he acted on it. . . .
come on, dayokanu. . . .prove me wrong that bayern is a big club.

dayokanu:
If Citeh want to buy Muller, Bayern would simply refuse to sell and let his contract run to the end.

not if the player himself is forcing a move. times have changed, dayo. go and read the new play power rule. . . .

Real couldnt even get Ribery despite all the noise they made cos we told them to wait till his contract is over.
We are not a selling club, We only sell when we have no use for the player again e.g Makaay, Klose, Toni, Hargreaves etc
https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-278439.640.html#msg4437712

did ribery force a move? were real madrid really interested? is there any credible comment from a madrid official/manager/president that they wanted to sign ribery? i need evidence please.

dayokanu:
Bayern did it with Ribery and also with Ballack told them to run their contract that they are not interested in selling

yes. . . .bayern are the biggest bully in bundesliga, they can afford to do as they please in germany. . . . .arsenal ain't the biggest money-bag in london, let alone england. if city wants muller today and muller wants to leave for england, there's nothing bayern munich will do to it. the abu-dhabis will just buy the allianz arena and make it a zoological garden for camels, snakes and desert rats.

kandiikane:
^^^But the guy is broke, I doubt his parents are minted because they would have helped him instead of watching his wife feed him. He is going to be hanged plain and simple if not by police then it will be titi's people unless his cult people come help him out which I doubt.

now that he's in major trouble, his old associates might come to his rescue. if he has truly been a member of the crew before - this dude will walk free before the end of this year(max).

dayokanu:
If Arsenal wants to do well,

Tell anyone to shove their money and let Nasri run his contract til the end.

if the player wants to leave, there's nothing arsenal can do about it. nasri can even buy out his contract. actually, the new rule has even given more power to the player. if arsenal tries to smother his move forcefully, the player can walk away if he goes to uefa/fifa

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=703842.msg8631200#msg8631200 date=1309540425]very snobbish no doubt, but some people are like that.

she obviously doesnt consider the girl good enough to marry into her family.

but nothing wrong with the last part about having a modest wedding. The couple dont have to take her advice anyway, if they dont want to.[/quote]indirectly, she's saying her parents are not responsible.

to me, it's unacceptable.

kandiikane:
There has to be more evidence than just beating up the wife(it will not take).

this is nigeria not the united states. even if he has never harmed a fly before, his defense counsel can cough out any excuse to absolve the culprit. it's a country where the rich never gets punished. akolade's fate is balanced between if his people is utterly minted or not. if his parents throw money around, this case will be buried and shall be forgiven.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=703842.msg8631145#msg8631145 date=1309540013]read the story this morning and i think they'd better either laugh it off or end the relationship.

na wa.

obviously the "mil" doesnt want her in that family.

some of the points [eg living within your means] make sense, but a tactful face to face interaction [maybe over tea] might have been better.[/quote]would u laugh this off? I understand your parents are unable to contribute very much towards the cost of your wedding. (There is nothing wrong with that except that convention is such that one might presume they would have saved over the years for their daughters’ marriages.)
If this is the case, it would be most ladylike and gracious to lower your sights and have a modest wedding as befits both your incomes.

iice:
[color=#9900ff]Lol i suppose it is. And i was just saying i understood not that it should be what every bride to be should do.
That's why i said making allowances for experience/norms/childhood. Technically as a guest, you aren't supposed to do anything. I on the other hand feel that even if i am one, i have to flow with the household so my activities would be planned around that as well as whatever activities planned for bride to be and groom to be. Not just in a MIL's house but in any house. That's just me and maybe the MIL feels that way [/color]

the mil is just evil.

kandiikane:
Anyways
For a person to be classed as mentally ill in a murder case, he will have to go through a lot to prove he is mentally ill if both the defense and prosecutor do not agree. Just because you say you are mentally ill does not mean you will walk free and you can have a serious mental illness and not get classed as criminally insane.

his violent history helps him significantly in this case should he decide to claim he's mentally ill.

iice:
[color=#9900ff]Some people have control issues.  Also the authority issue. 
Yes the food own was uncalled for.   It's just food haba.
On some of the other issues, i can understand.  Like the staying back in bed.  Maybe because, i just feel somehow if i'm somewhere and the household wakes up early, i wake up with them and offer whatever services that is needed, no matter what my husband to be says.
Anyway, they can marry and not visit the MIL only if the man is thus inclined. [/color]

isn't this subjected to whatever activities the couple might have gotten into in the night and the early hours?
technically, the bride-to-be is still a guest. if she gets up early to offer services it's a bonus. if she doesn't, i don't think it matters at all.

iice:
[color=#9900ff]Lol i was reading this earlier on.

There must have been some instances that made the MIL refer to the lack of manners.
However, the MIL should have also been less strict about some of the things, like manners. This generation is not the same as hers. Make some allowances for the differences in lifestyle, experience and norms.

Though the last point, i don't know why brides to be have the tendency to want to do beyond their means.
Yes it's your day, but makes some adjustments so that they guy is not going to be totally flatlined before the married life even starts.

Plus, what did the groom to be say about all this?[/color]

i actually thought the mother-in-law was too harsh. all the points she raised here had no spine. most of the time, it's the groom-to-be that tells his partner to stay back in bed and not act too forward in the house. the food thingy was uncalled for. so a bride to be cannot voice out she doesn't eat some certain food or she needs government's permission to take more food? abeg, women get issues.

the groom-to-be must be pissed but he has not said a thing about the whole issue. as far as i'm concerned, this marriage is doomed.

it can be notoriously difficult to win over the in-laws.
but this bride-to-be may have a tougher task than most after her future mother-in-law emailed her a vicious character assassination in which she attacked her for her ‘staggering uncouthness and lack of grace’.

this is the email:

It is high time someone explained to you about good manners. Yours are obvious by their absence and I feel sorry for you.

Unfortunately for Freddie, he has fallen in love with you and Freddie being Freddie, I gather it is not easy to reason with him or yet encourage him to consider how he might be able to help you. It may just be possible to get through to you though. I do hope so.

If you want to be accepted by the wider Bourne family I suggest you take some guidance from experts with utmost haste. There are plenty of finishing schools around.

Please, for your own good, for Freddie’s sake and for your future involvement with the Bourne family, do something as soon as possible.
Here are a few examples of your lack of manners:

--When you are a guest in another’s house, you do not declare what you will and will not eat – unless you are positively allergic to something. 

--You do not remark that you do not have enough food. You do not start before everyone else.

--You do not take additional helpings without being invited to by your host.

--When a guest in another’s house, you do not lie in bed until late morning in households that rise early – you fall in line with house norms.

--You should never ever insult the family you are about to join at any time and most definitely not in public.
I gather you passed this off as a joke but the reaction in the pub was one of shock, not laughter.

--You should have hand-written a card to me. You have never written to thank me when you have stayed.

--You regularly draw attention to yourself. Perhaps you should ask yourself why.

--No one gets married in a castle unless they own it. It is brash, celebrity style behaviour.

--I understand your parents are unable to contribute very much towards the cost of your wedding. (There is nothing wrong with that except that convention is such that one might presume they would have saved over the years for their daughters’ marriages.)
If this is the case, it would be most ladylike and gracious to lower your sights and have a modest wedding as befits both your incomes

--One could be accused of thinking that Heidi Withers must be patting herself on the back for having caught a most eligible young man. I pity Freddie.

is the mother-in-law justified to attack her son's fiancee in this manner or did the fiancee stepped beyond her boundaries?

proudly9ja:
Its not really about the replacements (though that matters too), its more about breaking the core of the team just when we all think ", just one more season, "

managers replenish their teams every time. the triumvirate of tevez, ronaldo and rooney was broken, fergie signed berbatov. . . . pep guardiola also did the same with messi, henry, etoo. . . .he signed ibracadabra and promoted pedro. these things happen. one cannot just rely on one team to do the deed every season - the manager would get found out.

It took Nasri two seasons to get to where he is now and we are having this issue with him just when the Nasri/Cesc/RVP combo was jelling. Same way we sold Flamini and Hleb just when the Cesc/Hleb and Flamini como was jelling.

whose fault is this. the players want to leave. you are talking it's arsene that's behind these moves. what can a manager do if a player insists on leaving.

Same way we sold Kolo one season and had Gallas/TV5 next season only to sell Gallas the following season and then watch Kos and Djorou.

toure and gallas were past their prime. toure was adding weight like a biatch(reasons he took his wife's pills) and gallas couldn't be fit to save a life.

Fans have every reason to be hyper at this stage. Like buntu said, its business as usual. We are only hoping we will deviate from the norm this time around

the rants are not justified yet. wait until august 31st at least!

dayokanu:
Flamini left in 2008, Song was already in Arsenal just promoted to first team

same thing. wenger could afford flamini leaving cos he already had a smaller general waiting in the ranks. some arsenal fans would actually tell you song has done a better job than a one season wonder flamini.

I give you Nasri

you have to gimme nasri. . . . .and wenger even went as far as providing a plan b for nasri by signing arshavin. what else do gaynners want?

Adebayo left in 2009, Chamakh came a season later So who filled in the immediate gap? Dont be surprised if Clichy leaves and Wenger promotes Gibbs, same with Nasri and Fab

adebayor left in 2009 but van persie has always been there. adebayor took advantage of van persie's injury in 2008 and he did well. when adebayor left, van persie went back to his natural role and he did well. chamakh was added cos van persie couldn't be fit without copping injuries on international assignments. i repeat, these rants are not justified.

Those are not good startegies when you are trophyless, Fergie can afford at this moment to sack his first 11 and bring boys from U21 team of Austria, YES he has proven he can do it.

just like wenger can do it if the fans back him.

Look now A top class lehman left, What did Wenger do? Compare that to when VDS left = De Gea in,  Giggs left = Young in

dayokanu, na u sell giggs? abeg o, our wife-snatcher is still pumping n firing.

as per the goalkeeper issue; that is the only justified criticism. since lehmann left, wenger has refused to replace him. i will give you that. a team needs a world class goalkeeper to win trophies. why wenger hasn't replaced lehmann is a mystery. . . . but for the outfield players, there's nothing any manager can do about that.

would you keep a disinterested player or sell him quickly to get another? this isn't rocket science, people.

if he walks free however, it will trigger another bloodbath between rival cults.[/quote]if he walks free, his confra boys will spirit him out of nigeria to a neighbouring country. is the most powerful cult in west africa. they have the money, they have got people in place and they are highly connected. i cannot believe this guy is even jobless for that long - maybe he's long renounced his membership from that evil cult group cos they are supremely connected in nigeria.

cold:
That is where you're wrong.All it takes is a lawyer that knows his onions as well as a psychiatrist to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the man is/was mentally unbalanced & he'll walk.He'll likely be sentenced to a mental institution to get help

if he gets a good lawyer, he would walk and spend some considerable length of time in a mental institution but his life isn't safe.

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=701925.msg8630547#msg8630547 date=1309534986]thank you.

i hope he has no internet access btw. The police had better not be so dumb as to allow him to browse nl or the web looking for suggestions on how to absolve himself of this heinous crime.

his helpers like emmarot have already helped him get rid of his facebook page.[/quote]his lawyers would give him that suggestion and if it's true he's connected in anyway to [b][/b] confraternity, this man will walk free or die mysteriously in the police net before his trial.

dayokanu:
Slightly different, In most cases when Fergie loses players, He would trade them on his own term and plan a replacement
There was a reason Rooney wasnt sold last season because ferguson does not have a planned succesor lined up
The season Beckham left Fergie planned on getting Dinho it didnt work and he got CR7, Roy Keane left, Carrick stepped in etc.

replacing ronaldo with beckham then was a step-down. . . . .who knew ronaldo would become what he is now?

Compare with Arsenal. In 2008 they had a great season Sold Flamini and hleb 2 of their top 4 performers, Who did they replace them with? They sold Adebayor who did they replace him with, Sold Kolo who did they replace him with? Sylvestre

flamini = song
hleb = nasri
adebayor = chamakh
kolo toure = vermaelen or koscielny.

not so bad replacements. . . .the new boys just need to step up and and challenge.

emmatok:
My Brother, that is the danger of marrying a "HOT-HEADED" person.

You can see another one stalking me here.

truth be told, some women can be evil but this akolade dude took it to another level. how many times did he stab the woman? was another man involved or was the husband trying to kill his wife and run away with her money? whatever he must have planned to do, his execution was idiotic. this is why i still think the man is not mentally balanced.
