elampiro:
you can tell other qualities Herrera might be weaker than Iniester or Carrick, but I wonder if you will find one quality to put Cleverley over Herrera.

As foe Bebe, was it in epl he scored?

parrotibaba:
no he didn't

elampiro:
One goal in how many thousand minutes?
Hererra has 7 goals for Man United.

But wait, you also prophesied Bebe to shine. And you were stubborn about it till the end.

parrotibaba:
@coogar da cleverly goal against Newcastle na cross he wan cross

jadelyn007:
If my memory serves me correctly there was thread where a father bought his daughter a car and guys were bringing down the roof claiming buying a car for his own daughter is disrespectful on her husband.

The man in the other thread said his mum slapped his wife first and you guys don't see anything wrong with it but you see all shades of wrong when a father buys a car for his daughter. Talk about the height of hypocrisy and double standards. SMH severally!!!

NOTE: both MIL and wife in the other thread are disrespectful by the way and if the wife had thrown the first punch I would have been in support of throwing her out, but in this case, old mama threw the first punch so she got served what she deserved.

elampiro:
Cleverley would have hit those Herrera's goals into stand while Ando would have played a back pass to Villa goalkeeper or even take a shot that travels for a throw in.

elampiro:
Who argued Fellaini with you? But you also backed Cleverley and Anderson?

elampiro: Many of us have written off Ashley Young long ago, excerpt Coogar who sounded foolish defending Young.

I thought having an open NAT was the best? Besides my NAT is set to moderate but i'm still having the same issues

chika4realike:
I am a student of a state university I am in my third year now.
My first and second year grade were very low not that I don't study but I always seem to forget what I studied during exams.
When my first year result was out it was far below my expectations because I really took my time studying so as to make good grade but it was not so
I prayed about this.
Again in my second year same thing happened I don't know if its the way I study
I even get mocked by my friends whu don't even study as much as I do. I actually get depressed and sometime think of committing SUICIDE.
Sometimes I will leave my place of residence for the library for almost 6-8 hrs just for good grade but it will turnout the opposite.
I am in my third year and with exams fast approaching I will not like what has happened in the past happen again
Please I will like u to suggest ways IN WHICH I can read as well as retain as well as recall during exam

AdeLaNa1:
Pls anyone here who knows how to check Smile's NAT type or better still how to change it from modetate to open? I think this is wats causing my connectivity issues with Fifa?

nitrogen:
^^^ What is this guy typing na? Talk about balance, Valencia and Young give it to us. Simples!

You can't have your right back always bursting forward, real punishment will accompany that. Meanwhile, Young helps Blind on the left wing, its as simple as that. Footie isn't just about attacking alone na.

striktlymi:
That's just the bitter truth.

I look forward to an Igbo President next time around. I think they may just have a candidate in the likes of Okorocha.

Chappie:
so Tinubu is now a saint?

pak:
why don't we just leave it at - It will be difficult for an Igbo man to become president simple ! unless by a quirk of faith like the case of GEJ, it won't happen in modern day Nigeria. The hause will rather vote Yoruba, if they have to make a choice between the two, the igbo will fight between themselves - ask yourself? who is the political leader/rallying point of the igbos ? None. Even the south-south might actually have a hard time being pro-igbo. I mean the ijaws, itsekiris are almost Yorubas (although, they might be irked by the recent treatment of GEJ by the west in the 2015 polls).

Just consider the major gladiators of the general elections of the fourth republic from 1999 - Obasanjo, Falae, Buhari, Yar adua, GEJ and you'll understand my views

Bawss1:
Link please

MrTA:
Not looking forward to the city game at all. I hate playing city lately as it doesn't feel like a derby anymore and they seem to have our number. So frustrating playing them we haven't been able to deal with Yaya even when he's off form.

From his redoubt on Bourdillon road in upmarket Lagos, a man popularly known as the Jagaban cemented his reputation this week as a political Svengali with the role he played helping to orchestrate the downfall of Nigeria’s sitting president, Goodluck Jonathan.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose name comes from a chieftaincy title bestowed on him by the town of Borgu, in Nigeria’s north, was from 1999 to 2007 the provincial governor of the country’s economic engine, the coastal state and megacity of Lagos.

[img]http://im.ft-static.com/content/images/87bed720-615e-4a4c-9229-2397a6beb63c.img[/img]

The political godfather of Nigeria’s south west, Mr Tinubu’s unlikely alliance with the austere former military ruler, now president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, made possible the first opposition victory in Nigeria’s electoral history.
“There needed to be an alignment for us to be able to stare down the government in power. There needed to be a catalyst for that alignment. He was the most prepared for that,” says one of Mr Tinubu’s lieutenants.


The manner in which that alignment evolves, is now among the big questions Nigerians are asking when considering the likely character of the incoming administration. Described as “deeply Machiavellian” and a “master strategist” by one of his party peers, the Jagaban has cannily built a political empire among ethnic Yorubas in Lagos and the south west, as formidable, according to allied politicians, as that of Obafemi Awolowo, who led Nigeria’s second largest ethnic block at independence.


He did so over the past decade and a half, having survived a string of bruising turf wars with the ruling People’s Democratic party, which was forged from political networks across Nigeria during the 1998 transition from military rule. PDP barons had become so adept since at oiling the electoral machine, that they sometimes boasted the party would still be in power in 100 years.


It was the merger of the Action Congress last year, with the party of the president-elect, strong in the north but weak elsewhere, that made it possible for the opposition to challenge and ultimately defeat the PDP. The two parties between them controlled block support in both of Nigeria’s most populous regions; Mr Tinubu’s in the south west and Gen Buhari’s in the north west.


“I am in the same union as Buhari to salvage a Nigeria that is drifting and that has faced a storm of economic deterioration,” Mr Tinubu said at a celebration party at his house this week. Outside the formidable gates, a mob of hundreds of young men ecstatic at the success of their city patron, were shouting “Jagaban”.


Yet the Jagaban is a controversial figure, resented by some for the dominating machine politics he has brought to the south west, but adored by others, especially in Lagos, who see his hand behind the remarkable renaissance of the city in the past 15 years.

Once a byword for urban decay, Lagos has begun to thrive under Babatunde Fashola, who Mr Tinubu promoted as his successor as governor, and then sometimes shielded from the rough and tumble of politics as he went about reviving the city with technocratic verve.

Mr Tinubu attributes the success of the campaign, the most disciplined by an opposition group in Nigeria’s history and sophisticated in terms of the data monitoring it used to keep on top of events, to compromise.

“Our defined objective is on the plank of a progressive social welfare programme. Once we agreed to that then we consolidated the merger,” he says, of last year’s deal, which superseded a less formal alliance that came unstuck in 2011 polls.

Against expectations the party survived a tough contest for the leadership, which saw Mr Tinubu’s candidate, a Christian pastor and Lagos lawyer, Yemi Osinbajo, win the vice-presidential slot. The future of the union could now determine how effective Nigeria’s incoming government is in office.

Some leading members of the victorious opposition worry about the compatibility of Mr Tinubu and Gen Buhari and about the influence the former might wield, without any formal position in the party, in the forthcoming battle over federal government appointments.


In the immediate future, Mr Tinubu is likely to be distracted by his battle to maintain influence in Lagos, where his preferred candidate for governor is facing a tough challenge in the polls on April 11. “There is no need for a power struggle. We are concentrating our efforts in reversing the decay,” Mr Tinubu says.


He is not a politician who is insecure. According to both detractors and fans, one of his attributes, rare among older politicians in Nigeria, has been to spot talent and nurture it. He absorbed this lesson according to one ally, when working at ExxonMobil.

“We bring talent to governance. We don’t want Lilliputians. We want people who can think and act,” he said. Among the bright, young crowd in his small, home office in attendance, were perhaps some of Nigeria’s future leaders.

hazard over robben

shiit keep rising to fill the mouth here

freecocoa:
Na you sabi.

freecocoa:
So now you agree there are women like that.

freecocoa:
Oya leave na, I just wish you could meet women like the one in the OP

slimyem:
lol. You never forget to call me out when he shows up.he is a joker though and anyone who's been here long enough would know that.

@obowunmi..agba ma ti'n de...when will these stories come different?

freecocoa:
Duh! I know many women who will, it's like you don't know how much religion can do/has done to people.

Kemizee:
What games have you been watching Sir?Di Maria not a big game playerHe was in Spain and sorry he still is in England.He assisted Rooney's goal at the emirates,assisted Mata's goal against Loserpool,scored against Everton and others.This is just unfair.I have always that for all of Ashley Young's running around,I would rather have Di maria accused of not playing well and scoring goals and assists.He is simply many levels above Young and should rightly start in the Derby.Ashley young has run enough against Liverpool and Aston villa but got nothing.As soon as Angel came in,he assisted immediately in those two games..I know which one I prefer.

The least you say about Valencia, the better.The most wasteful,brainless attacker our club has.He is the player who sees the most ball in this team and yet he manages to Bleep up every single attack either by a woeful cross or smashing it into the left back's thighs.I always give up anytime the ball gets to him because I knw it wud amount to nothing.He is very hardworking and athletic like Ashley young but he is hopeless wen it gets to final ball or productivity. Games like the one against City is what Di Maria is about and you will remember this next week.

freecocoa:
Not when the hubby is guilty of same crime.

What you don't seem to get is, is that, she can't be lying because, she had a choice to keep it sealed, which means, no explanations but chose to tell the truth, based on her new found love for christ/her conscience, so how can she lie, when she could have totally avoided the whole saga?

SIRcumalot:
Am not shooting down Mata achievement to make Hazard look good it just not very common for player to be dominant immediately.

Still,only you will take Mata before hazard.

freecocoa:
She confessed and thinks it's her boss's because she is dumb and now supposedly born again, hubby doesn't want a DNA test, are you suggesting she 'disobey' him and aggravate him further, so you can castigate her more than you already have? I think not.

Oh please! like a woman(born again)who chose to confess her sins would tell a lie against her hubby in court? Why then did she confess? It's not like she had to afterall.

TooNoisy:
Quite well. Do you have some good ideas of what he can do. Truth be told, he wants to get back at the wife without hurting the kids

SIRcumalot:
That was Hazard first season in Chelsea na,
His undoubtedly their most important player now.
