dayokanu is a charlatan - a raving mad ignoramus. irwin is our best left back ever. greater than mr. evra can ever be. in irwin's prime, he was simply untouchable!

ritchboy: This is a really good XI. . . Consider Ando/Cleverley > Carrick(aka bestest English DM)

i cannot see the comparison - ando/clev are 2 attack-minded midfielders. carrick is a deep lying midfielder who can be called upon in difficult away games. do i prefer ando/clev axis to carrick? it depends on the opposition!

yemmight: Is this how our trophy will be gotten back when old man is not even making any impact in transfer market? Even Arsenal are really looking good with the new signing with an addition Carzola today. They already preparing a replacement for Song. Old man has revealed to us we will be loosing 3 defenders at the start of the season and Evra is already a shyte. Honestly, this season will be worst ever for us if drastic change is not effected. It just pains me anytime we identify fine players and some clubs will then beat us to it.

calm your nerves....
we are perfectly fine for the start of the season in my opinion!

ifyalways: If it's a new marriage with no pregnancy or child in the picture I'm so dumping his foooolish a.rse. but if it's a tested and trusted marriage with children etal, it's family first,I'm going to bail him,stand by him but when he gets home, the fvck up would be treated.

stand by "him"?
a woman stole the phone not a man!

degamonn: This happened at NYSC Orientation Camp, Wannune, Takar Local Government Area,Benue in the just concluded camping of of 2012-Batch B.
This woman applied for redeployment on marriage grounds and when she was granted the permission to leave the camp, she stole a Black Berry phone belonging to a fellow corps member and hid it in her pants. Every corps member in her hostel was asked if they saw the phone but no one admitted seeing the phone.
Unfortunately for the woman, when she was leaving the camp her belonging had to be searched at the gate and in the process, the stolen Phone rang severally and the security men at the gate insisted that she must answer her call having noticed that there were several reports of stolen items and most especially phones at the camp. It was at that process the phone was discovered in her pant and the NYSC authorities insisted that the husband must come before she could be released.
If you are the husband of this woman who subjected her husband to public disgrace and humiliation of that nature, what will you do to her? Retain her or divorce her?

bail her and drive her straight to her father's house!

maclatunji: Ok, Coogar stop attacking PrettyCindy. There is someone out there for her who will love her as if she is the only woman in the world. Keep your pontificating to yourself.

oh shut your trap - defender of sanitary pads.

Dharkchild: @justwise thanks. Would mail them and hope they reserve the apartment while I keep looking at other options incase they don't. Was just convinced Cos a friend went there to check for me. Advice much appreciated

pay your deposit asap - you have nothing to worry about. you're dealing with an agent who must have an office, phone number and people you can speak to verify the authenticity of the property you intend to rent. your £200 holds that apartment until you arrive and trust me, your problems in the uk are 95% solved if you have a roof over your head.

most friends/relatives/family would not take you in - you have already confirmed your friend have been to the property to see what it looks like. if you're in doubt, take the agent's office number/email and speak to them concerning the property. don't risk losing out on a property you're well satisfied in because of a paltry sum of £200.

Ujujoan: I wonder what makes you so smug about your life. everything turns out the way you planned abi?
I hear you!

it's all about the choices we make.

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]Hahahahaha!!

What you expect me to buy them eggs that are 2 for? And run the risk of great great great grandmama rising outta her grave just to smack me upside the head? No way!! [/quote]lmao

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]Lemme say this. . .If I had the choice of getting something just once a month and getting more bang for my buck vs getting something 3 times a month and getting less for my money, I would be an Idiot to pick the latter

Maybe it is the Ijebu blood from my great great great great. . .wait, how many great is that ok it have not reached, great, great grandmother but there is no way I am spending more than I really have to. [/quote]i knew it - you have to be an ijebu woman to come up with these ground breaking ideas. i am sure you also form an association to share a crate of eggs too. after all, it cheaper when 5 people share 30 eggs than buying 6 on your own...

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]You don't need an Economist or Mathematician or one of them brainy people who can do calculations off the top of their heads, to tell you the quantity you get will be 10 times more than what you woulda gotten in the regular stores. It just makes economic sense for some people do that.[/quote]like storing a dozen bottles of skimmed milk for rainy days. it also makes loads of economic sense cos you get a discount doing such!

And again, it is not for everybody. . .people will take convenience over quantity and others vice versa and considering the fact that what is CONVENIENT OR INCONVENIENT itself is subjective, what is the lalakokofefe in this matter?

that it is not for everyone doesn't make it right too....sometimes sheer ignorance comes into play in the choices we make. i used to know a guy who would never get on the train cos he thought everytime he swipes his oyster card, he gets charged for it. so he was using the bus for years. when i told him after a certain amount of money, his card won't get charged regardless of the number of trips he makes in the same day, he could only marvel.

the funniest thing is he shies away from spending money on a faster mode of traveling but he can spend half of his salary in whorehouses in one night!

r231: So you expect me to get up every Saturday morning to go and que for meat When I can just get it one time, cook and fry it then toss it in the freezer

if you want it fresh, why not? how long are these queues anyways? go to east ham on barking road, there must be a handful of slaughterhouses there where you can buy your meat conveniently at any time of the day - if you add as little as £10, your goat can be special-delivered without requiring your signature!

jay bee: Splitting goat/lamb/pig ain't really a biggie.
Most people do so because of its value, freshness and the ability to enjoy quantity whilst quality isn't being compromised.
I wouldn't do it personally cos i ain't big on 'em goats et al as well as the requirement of having to wake up rather too early in the morning to go do the shopping.
It's common among Zimbabweans as well so it ain't just a Nigerian phenom

i second that....
the way some nigerians idolise meat, you worry if some of their ancestors were carnivores. wake up in the morning to hunt goats is not just what i can handle. food is fairly cheap and one does not need to go through such stress to save 40p!

penny wise pound foolish!

r231: Bro it's not about the price, it's quantity
A whole one is less than £100 and if you have storage for it fine

that's exactly my point---
if i have to buy a live goat with 3 others and store it for weeks/months then the excuse of freshness and quality cannot stand! the quality of the goat meat would deteriorate in your freezer and the purpose of buying that much gets defeated!

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]Which is pricesely the point!

It is so not a big deal like some people are trying to make it, that if you aren't a participant. . .you won't know about it.

This is why I am giving my dear Buzzgee the side eye. Ya know, the one that says. . .hmmm, are you sure there isn't something you wanna tell us? [/quote]giving buzugee the awkward eye? are you saying buzugee is codedly saying things about himself and that he's a poor church rat?

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]Jeeeedus Effing Christos!!! Where did anyone say they they slaughter the goat in their backyards

From what I understand, these people get together. . .go to the slaughterhouse, pay for a whole goat and have it divided into 3 or 4 or 5 or however how many parts they want it divided into.
Seriously, someone help me out here. . .am I missing something??[/quote]getting together @ the slaughterhouse and splitting it there? of course, that's possible!!

r231: For the last time it's not a live goat
Where do you see live goat in EastHam
You buy a whole goat hanging there on the wall and split it into 3
Simple

but then how much is a goat to go through the stress of assembling goat investors before one can eat? anyways, people priortise different things so it's a tedious issue to dissect!

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]A quick google search for meat market in London and I got this

http://www.qype.co.uk/place/71011-Smithfield-market-London

Please take time to read the comments and pay particular attention to the names of the people leaving the comments. Ain't no Bashiratu, Chukwuemeka or Madinatu in the lot.[/quote]sisikill, that's a slaughterhouse - its different from buying a live goat n killing it in your backyard. the eu laws are strict on animal cruelty - i remember chasing a big fat rat in my garden some years back - my neighbour threatened to call the cops if I don't call pest control services. imagine such stress on top of a thieving rat!!!

dustydee: please which site do you make online orders?

avila does it for me or i go to the hundreds of the naIja restaurants and just buy ready made stew with assorted beef. 3 people coming together to share a live goat is bizarre...i can conveniently say I have never heard of it or seen it before.

debosky: Do y'all want the greying Dutchman or not?

Pay up and offer us £25m. . . .surely you don't want those noisy neighbours to get him? Y'all get a £5m discount because of the Fergie Wenger relationship. Citeh price is £30m.

fergie is a tool - maybe he's looking at the vacuum owen and berbatov would create but then he doesn't need to move dimitar berbatov - our bite in the midfield should be addressed instead of acquiring van persie!

4llerbuntu: DAMN!!!! i do not envy you guys

everyone has a kevlar vest here ---- 1025's bullets are impotent!

[quote author=Sky-walker] At what network speed? 10bps[/quote]that's harsh and so unfair!

[quote author=Sisi_Kill]Dude, no need to exaggerate to make a point abeg.

Even people living in a cave knew something happened. [/quote]and yet a whooping 56% of american students between 18-24 do not know sudan is an african country! 63% couldn't locate the middle east on a map. americans don't have a clue about the world around them. 1 in 5 adults cannot even locate canada!!!

debosky: ^^ It's in 'Greater London' so I guess you can get away with saying it's in London.

nah - you can't get away with saying its in london. greater london is not london. if the post code does not say nw, n, se, e, sw, w then it's not london.

debosky: Aldershot to 'London' in 45 minutes? At 8am? Where exactly in London does he drive to?

heathrow

[quote author=Sky-walker]Its better than staying stranded in London's traffic. He leaves home 8am and gets there 8.45am which to me is not bad at all.[/quote]london underground is on indefinite strike, aren't they?

[quote author=Sky-walker]There are places closer to London. i know a friend who works in London but stays in Aldershot. House are cheaper there and they are nice structures with full car park and garden. Thats almost an hour drive which is not bad[/quote]one hour drive is bad! it takes a toll on the mileage of your car, the stress of waking up far earlier than your colleagues, mental tiredness, you spend more on fuel, etc. if you add those factors together, sometimes you are better off paying for a flat in stratford or even grays.

justwise: That is an established fact, my point is that people should look outside London or shop around non-affluence areas and stop moaning about how expensive London is.

so if you are working in central london, you would move to leeds because houses are cheaper up north? what about transportation, time of travel, stress of having to wake up early and get home late in the night? you have to consider those factors - the people forking out wads of pounds are not silly. the choice is no longer in their hands but where their workplace is situated!

[quote author=Sky-walker]what you on about?[/quote]i quoted your reply to me.....

Ola one: But, seriously, when will you guys stop bashing London?

90% of the bashers are uk rejects: deportees and failed asylum seekers!

justwise: I said in most UK cities and that was why i asked where his friend is studying, in many cities outside London 2-3 bedroom flat will go for less than £600.

but what do you guys really expect? london is the capital - its expected that the cost of living in london would be much higher than the other cities in the united kingdom!

[quote author=Sky-walker]i really like when you used the word personally with your statement. .its truly understandable[/quote]the sarcasm flew over your head - read between the lines!

justwise: Which city in the UK is your friend studying? That seems like an exaggerated figure because in many cities in the UK that is what you pay for 2 or 3 bedroom flat.

If she really pays such amount then she must either be dull not to have noticed that is a rip-off or she is trying to show-off while she is dying quietly .

3-bedroom houses can go as high as £1800(bills inclusive) in most parts of london. how can you say £600/month can get a 2-3 bedroom when sometimes a one bedroom flat can be £1000 a month in london suburbs?

bashr8: U.K nigerians are the most broke nigerians i have ever met, so broke they cant even buy their own drink , na waoo see how their eye they always shine when home based nigerians are spending money. its better for you to hursle in nigeria than U.k . anytime i meet a nigerian that lives in U.K the first thing that comes to my mind is heyaaaa

lmao!
dont mind them - they are all brokearses....personally, i have never seen a rich uk-based nigerian. they are all church rats. all of them are poorer than the nigerians back home who still stay with their parents, nigerians back home who don't pay utilities until they marry, nigerians back home who have little or no responsibility at all on their shoulders.

merengue: Dude, will you please S.T.F.U and stop condemning people's opinions like a bird of ill omen, it makes you look idiotic not intelligent.
@OP: Head and shoulders, it has to be Beijing.

why don't you buy yourself a strong rope and find a beam to tie it to? if my comment irks you so badly, exterminate yourself instead of ranting like a ruminant animal undergoing a manual castration!
