Wishfil thinking. Short of using a nuclear bomb, how do you expect the incompetent Nigerian military to achieve this when the mighty US failed woefully in places like Vietnam, Somalia and Afghanistan?

wishful thinking because we have a brainless twerp for a president.
the most spineless leader on the face of africa.

You don't know anything about Odi. If you do you won't wish it for people again. The Army killed every able bodied man there, violated their wives, mothers and daughters.

that is how to deal with unreasonable group of people.
you meet fire with more firepower. evil vs evil.

Did that solve the problem? MEND became more sophisticated and dangerous. They retreated into the swamps and caused mayhem, even the economy felt it.
The same goverment had to dialogue to bring the menace to an end.

it solved the problem under obsasanjo regime.
mend came back when yaradua came into power. . . . .

they were merely a university secret cult group from 1999 to 2007 when obasanjo was the boss! who dem be?
you think obasanjo or any of the ex military dictators would condone boko haram? abacha would have nuked those states back to the ashes.

Last week before the Arsenal game, he mentioned Clev had started running but hadn't taken part in training.
I heard him say he (Clev) would be ready in February.

I'm worried about Giggs in our middle.Gerrard and Adams will overrun him in the middle.
Park hasn't been up to speed all season as well.
With the likes of Bellamy around,we might be in for a torrid time.

but liverpool played an energy-sapping game on wednesday night.
we should press home that advantage in the 2nd half which must definitely tire them out.

well,my brother dated his wife for 12 years and are happily married today
if long courtship get boring,maybe marriage will be worse, 

yes, there would be few exception - but generally, the longer it gets, the more likely the boat would hit the rocks.
if long courtship gets boring, marriage would be worse? long courtship seemed boring because your colleague knows it's easy to get out of it.

with marriage, he accepts his fate and strives hard to make it work. it must work!
if nigerians can all walk away from nigeria, they would but have they?

the only solution is to extinguish the vermins.
you cannot dialogue with extremists - they are unreasonable.

law enforcers in the north know boko haram, they know their camps, the villages harbouring them, their operations.
just go there, arrest the traditional rulers of those villages, raze the village down. . . .like obasanjo did in odi.

boko haram would become history.

I met her once, and she didnt look boring .she was lively and full of life, and she looked nice that very day, But i am of the Opinion that the problem is with my friend, what if he had married her four years ago?would he be talking of leaving her now?

yea. . . he wouldn't be talking of leaving her.
this is the reason some people preach against long-arse courtships.
after 2-4 yrs, something official should take place. . . .

One of My Colleague at work has been in a relationship for more than 8 years with His girlfriend, But the guy was telling me yesterday that he doesn't love the lady anymore,and he has tried everything possible to separate from the lady but the lady wont let go and the two family wont understand too.So i asked the guy whats really wrong with the lady,and how come he suddenly just stopped loving this girl, Because as at last year July,This guy was planning marriage with this same babe,He traveled to Nasarawa to see this babe many times while she was doing National service.So i asked why the sudden lost of love, He said he doesn't have any reasons,and in fact,he doesn't even have another girl (although he sleeps with LovePeddler almost on every weekend)the only he said is that,they hardly talk about anything,they only Be Intimate and more sex, And now he even prefer to go and sleep with a Slut than to sleep with her
How do you date someone for 8 years and you just suddenly  want her to leave you in one day,especially a lady going 30?
This lady is not Ugly,she is not fat,she has been very faithful to the guy(according to him),She stood by Him when he didn't have a job,

the relationship has become stale. . . . .after 8 years, it's bound to happen that way.
they should have made it official. . . .well, your colleague should leave her before she damages the chic any further.
shyte happens. they won't be the first couple to be separated after 8 years.

coogar,
We might be in some deep shyte at Anfield.
Rooney is now rated very doubtful for the Klanfield tie.
The injury front is terrible.Im not expecting to see Clev till mid-Feb if the gaffer's words are to be believed.
That would mean some kind of action for Giggs and Scholes tomorrow.
I fear to think what might happen if Carrick is out.There were fears he'd miss this tie after picking up a knock last week.I am still of the opinion that we should have bought during this window.The injury crisis is debilitating.I do not recall players dropping like flies this regularly aside from March/April 2007 in recent memory.

-------Lindegaard--------
Rafael Evans Smalling Evra
Valencia Carrick Giggs Park
--------Berbatov-------
--------Welbeck-------

it's not that bad. fergie didn't mention anything about anderson/cleverley.
i am sure one of those would feature tomorrow.

ritchboy:
This is a terrible analogy because (A) Cesc is nowhere near as direct as the likes of Valencia. (B) Cesc's passing isn't just more precise than Iniesta's, it's more precise than just about every other player in the world. Off the top of my head, only Xabi Alonso and Xavi Hernandez can lay claim to being more precise passers than Cesc in world football, anyone else is on par at best. If Iniesta and Cesc were to play the "hit the tree" game(Scholes), there's on one possible winner.

cesc is more direct. . . . . .
sometimes he hoofs it from his own half of the pitch to a striker through on goal. . . .
iniesta's game is not like that. . . . .barca's play does not work like that.

You talk about Iniesta's indirectness like it's a good thing, it isn't. Cesc's decision making in the final third is unrivaled, Iniesta obviously needs to improve his cos it's criminal for a Barcelona forward/AM to be averaging 5 goals and 5 assists per season when he clearly has the ability to do much better.

it's the barcelona dna. . . . .that's the way they should play.
you are taking this as if when iniesta is in front of goal, he misses quite a lot of chances - hell no! he does not.
he is not even interested getting into those scoring positions. . . . .he's the orchestrator, the string puller - he's got the ability to dictate the tempo and barcelona were very fine before cesc's arrival. fabregas has added nothing to barcelona. . . .has he?

Hehehe, so now you've resorted to playing down Xavi's contribution just to talk up Iniesta? OK!!!

xavi is really good but last season, he had just 10 assists in all competitions to iniesta's 9.
dani alves on the other hand had 18 assists, messi had 21. by your own logic, dani alves is a better player than the midfield maestros or dani alves is more direct than them?

answers on a postcard, please!

I'm sure Cesc also assists uncountable assists and drops a billion killer passes, if there was a stat for that he'll still be comfortably ahead of Iniesta. Except he doesn't use it as an excuse for lacking a final ball.

this season, messi's got 13 assists, alves has got 10 assists, xavi(7), cesc(5), iniesta(4)
so how's cesc fabregas better? in barcelona, these statistics mean shyte. . . . .the way the team is set up is so complex raw statistics would not give you the true picture of what is happening on the pitch.

Leighton Baines(for obvious reasons) and Charlie Adam(what are his numbers in the last 3-5 years?) are severely lacking in other areas of the game(where Cesc comfortably matches/betters Iniesta), meaning even if they out-assist him, he's still way ahead of them based on other areas of the game.

David Silva has played better than Iniesta this season and will be considered a better player if he can maintain his current level for a longer period of time.

david silva has played better than iniesta this season? because of the gra-gra way city plays?
i am sure silva himself would have you slapped for saying that.
we can also conclude nani played better than xavi last season cos nani copped 20 assists, isn't it?

iniesta vs fabregas

PEPEPE, PENAREETEE!!! I'm sure In Coogar Town, dribbling past 3 players in your own half is more important than scoring and creating goals, but not in the real world son! While cats like Iniesta and Modric will try to beat oncoming markers with some flamboyant, easy-on-the-eye, youtube.com skill, more intelligent midfielders like Cesc and Xavi would pick out an equally effective but simple pass to a teammate or use a pirouette {(c) La Masia} to create the angle for the pass if necessary.

Cesc movement off the ball alone is stuff of legend. This is why you see him in more one on one situations than most strikers.

Of course Iniesta (compared to Cesc) has no end product. If i bring out their stats over the last 5-7 years, you'll weep for the pale midget!

the only question you then need to ask yourself is how does xavi gets that amount of space to create goals if the job hasn't been made easier by iniesta.
this is like comparing alexander hleb to ashley young or tony valencia. the latter is a more technical player. . . the latter are direct players. they pass, they cross to the goal scorer. . . .they just hoof a cross and hope to the heavens someone gets to the end of the cross. . .and the assist belongs to them.

iniesta on the other hand is not hoofing and hoping. he's worked out the angle of the pass, the weight of the ball.
precision and accuracy of the triangles and unless the recipient of his pass is a one-legged man, the task of scoring or making an assist to the scorer has been made very easy.

look at xavi's assists, there's no ingenuity about most of them. . . .the complex task has been completed by iniesta before feeding xavi - take a look at the david silva goal in the youtube clip i posted. . . . . .my grandmother would have completed xavi's contribution and my dog would have scored the goal.

if there's a stat for assist of the assist or if there's a stat for the killer pass. . . .then you would appreciate what iniesta does.
on the argument you are making. . . . .charlie adam/leighton baines/david silva are better than iniesta!

ritchboy:
FAFAFA, FAWOULLL! On the contrary, Cesc murks Iniesta in almost every department of the round leather game; Whether it's passing, crossing, dead-balls, off-the-ball running, finishing, goal-scoring, goal-making, even heading, name it!

The only conspicuous skill Iniesta has over Cesc is dribbling(one of the less relevant attributes of central-midfielders), and it's not like Cesc can't beat his marker. We call midfielders who dribble too much without end product "Youtube players", and since you've predictably resorted to posting Youtube videos:

Luka Modric and Abou Diaby woulda been the next best CMs in the world if dribbling was a requisite of being a top CM!

iniesta is a better passer of the ball. . . iniesta's the better dribbler. . . . iniesta has got the better vision and he's thrice the player fabregas is.
it was andreas iniesta guardiola was referring to @ la masia when he remarked "this kid would retire us all".
iniesta's close control is top drawer. . . .can fabregas hold possession under pressure? what about one-touch passing?

abeg, i don't know any midfielder in barca cesc can hold any candle to.
not thiago, not xavi, not iniesta and not sergio busquets. . . . .of course, cesc's better than keita.
but the spaniards are heads and shoulders better than cesc technically. . . . .goal scoring, goal making, etc are irrelevant - iniesta is not governed by those.
his style is not direct. . . . . . .until it's absolutely necessary for him to shoot at goal.

you make me laugh with your remark that iniesta has no end product!!!
if he doesn't have an end product to his game, who does?
the number of killer passes he's supplied in his life-time is the reason cesc cannot get into the team: spain/barcelona.

LesbianBoy:
So my girlfriend was gisting with me that her friend confided in her(my GF) that her(her friend) got violated by her cousin when she was 20 yrs and in the process she got pregnant and had the baby though the baby died later! This caused a lot of issue in their family at that time. she(my GF's friend) is married for over 5 years now but she is yet to have a child in her marriage though her husband is not complaining for now o,  but the thing is she still sees this cousin of hers up till now and she finds it hard to forgive this cousin of hers. she is now contemplating telling her husband what happened btw her and her cousin in the past,

NLders what do u advice her to do should she tell her husband or not? Because she doesnt know how her husband will react considering the fact that the 'RAPER' is a relative. And he may also think her cousin is/has been behind their childlessness!

NL what wud u do if u were in the girl's situation!

tell her husband what exactly?
she's a tool if she tells her hubby anything concerning her womb or childlessness for now.
it would create serious problems. since she couldn't bear to tell the husband before marriage, why do so now?

AjanleKoko:
ritchboy abi kilonje,
Cesc doesn't play for ya club anymore. Leave matter for the Mathiases

he loves cesc and rightly so, cesc is a fantastic player in his own right but andreas iniesta? is there another player?
people waiting for iniesta to be topping the assist charts or goal charts would wait till the 2nd coming of christ. . . . .he is a killer passer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAU5iD9g8Xo&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"[/flash]

this clip says it all.
look at iniesta's contribution to the goal assists and the goals scored.
he made the tasks so easy - statistics would only remember assists and goal scorers but the engineer here is iniesta!

i doubt he has ever made a wrong pass in his entire career. he does magical things that make football more than worth watching, there are very few players around like that. to have the ability and composure to perform these close control skills in high pressure situations is incredible.

there was one turn where he was being pressed by two players on the edge of his own box and he just did a turn to completely take out both of them and make them look silly. his close control in tight corners is even better than that of ronaldo or messi.

ritchboy:
Iniesta's passing can only match Cesc's at short distances, anything north of 20 yards and Iniesta is an apprentice compared to Cesc, that's why I used the term "range" initially.

Iniesta can only lay claim to being "arguably" better than Cesc in the current Barcelona setup/style, perhaps because he has a better understanding with Xavi having played with him longer(not an indictment of quality). Any other team/system, Cesc is a (in your own words) "more productive", and superior midfielder.


Nonsense. Cesc didn't take "everything" at Arsenal. RVP (when fit) dominates all set-pieces from the right side while Cesc rotated with the likes of Arshavin, Rosicky and Nasri from the left. Can you tell us why this season Cesc has copped 12 assists already and Iniesta has just 4(3 times less than Cesc)? Maybe "everything goes through him" at Barca as well! I laugh in iCantstoplaughing

Selective memory. . . In the spirit of isolating competitions, kindly tell us why Iniesta is yet to score a single goal in La Liga this season when it's already past the winter-break!

ritchboy, stop blaspheming. . . . .iniesta is a better player than fabregas in every department of the round leather game.

iniesta is the better dribbler and his high reluctance to give the ball away is miles better than cesc fabregas who often loses possession under pressure.
he's so dead on the ball, runs on his forefeet and his balance is as supreme as messi's - light of touch!
without his last minute goal against chelsea in 2009, i wonder what barca would have been under guardiola - they have not looked back since that night.

You think that will be the case perennially? Change gonna come [/quote]i don't think so. . . . .the gloatings are just for bragging rights.
arsenal were just unfortunate they were light-weight in the positions where united are the strongest.
valencia/nani would trouble any full-back in europe. . . . .when a team now plays makeshifts like djourou and vermaelen then there can only be one outcome.

it's wenger's fault though.
he should have bought a full back when the window opened.
i am sure he could have secured a loan deal somewhere in england.

Wenger is as two-faced as they come.
I thought Arsenal play the right way,according to their OSCOTECH Professor.
As for the tackling,I'm pretty sure hypocritical Wenger has nothing to say about it.

Back to the line up,
Projecting line-ups isn't my thing,but I'll take De Gea against Lindergaard for this instance.
Lindergaard has been in the firing line and his confidence since the Newcastle game.
The backfour pretty much settles itself,but I'll take Berbatov over Welbeck and leave Rooney alone upfront.
Besides,Giggs will start.Jones will probably feature out of position.

if jones starts, he would be in the midfield to track charlie adam's runs. . .
we also need fast defenders to track craig bellamy - evans is a liability in that regard and he is not aerially superb to cope with andy caroll.
unless cleverley gets a surprise start. . . .we might be in trouble at klanfield.
