The man and his wives are all bleached out. |
lol.
Fani kayode that is being accused of anti-party activities.
Gbajamiala just lost whatever support he had from the PDP. |
Are you kidding me? These are not specific at all. I was expecting buhari to ask for something like (though not restricted to) the magnificent eurotyphoon fighter jets and german submarines and destroyers to help in the war against bokoharam and piracy in the seas. Someone gave buhari a blank check and he just blew it. |
It is disappointing though that someone as educated and respected as wale adenuga is a tribalist. Anyway, it is not surprising at the same time. |
Well , nollywood is the biggest entertainment industry in africa. The "yorubawood "and "hausawood " don't even come close. Emeka ike must be a true visionary. |
The above is an article by L'equippe.
Shitting in their pants already. |
WILL ENGLAND DOMINATE EUROPE? http://i.imgur.com/pOavcIN.jpg From 2016, each PL clubwill have more than 120m euros in tv rights. Enough to dominate the champions league, inabalance european football and the transfer market? At the moment, there are only the numbers that make you dizzy. From the 2016/2017 season, the 20 English clubs will share 2.3 Billion euros in tv rights for 3 years, on which will be added 900m euros per year in international rights. That is a 70% increase of the current contract. For a few million euros (at this point, whose counting?), the 20th of the Premier league will touch in tv rights the entire budget of the 3rd or 4th in Ligue1. A the end of the 2016/2017 season, PSG, if they are champions, will have 45m euros under the current contract LFP acquiered with Canal+ and BeIn Sports. The English champion will win 210 m euros, almost 5 times more. There are already 8 English clubs amongst the 20 richest in the world. In 2017 there is little doubt that they will be atleast half of the top 20. Only Real Madrid, Barclona, and Bayern Munich seem capable of resisting, for now. BLACKBURN, ONLY "INTRUDER" SINCE 1992 Bayern is a big power thanks to merchandising: in 2013/2014 the tv rights of the German club (36.9 million euros) were more less than half that of the last placed PL club (79 million). Real and Barca can keep up, despite their debts, because they refuse to share tv rights in La liga and concentrate 70-80% of the tv money of the league. With 130-150 million euros a year, they receive "English" sums. While tv money are not the only source of economic power (9 PL clubs are owned by foreign investors), Englad is, amongst the 5 major leagues, the one who share the most equitably its wealth. The big question, obviously, is on what will be the sporting consequences of this contract. Inside, its impact on the suspense in the Premier league, and the impossibility on having a surprise, seem almost zero: It is etched in stone and for a long time. Since the the creation of the PL in 1992, only Blackburn (1995) was able to stop the absolute hedgemony of the big 4 (Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City). Not everyone has the chance to follow Ligue1, with its 9 champions in 20 years. In the outside, the risk that England dominates Europe is very strengthened, even if this doesnt seem likely in the short term. Since 1992, England (4 wins) has won ess champions leagues than Spain (7) and Italy (5). Actually, English clubs are already very rich and they haven't always well spent their money: last season, Liverpool reveived 122m euros of tv rights, against 48m to Marseille, and that didnt prevent the Merseyside club to be wasteful in its recruitment. But the gap in resources should mechanically create a gulf in the long term. The contract of the century deregulate the transfer market, in the league where salaries are the highest, and where the market for English players is completely crazy, a particular trait that makes it less threatening to the rest of Europe, however. Most of the best players play in England, but not all of them: there are some remaining, and not the least, at Bayern, Real, and Barcelona. The 2 best, Ronaldo and Messi, are in La Liga. The earthquake will happen if they both came to England. SHARE THE WEALTH, BUNCH OF PIGS During the first day of the Premier League in 1992, there were 11 non British players on the fields of the PL. From the season 2004/2005, they were 45%, a percentage that has only slightly fluctuated, and that also touches coaches. The impact of this trend on the national team is a purely internal debate, but also a little poluted. Because England is living on the memories of its 1966 World Cup won at home, whereas it wasnt more competitive when its clubs dominated Europe with mainly English players in the 1980's. Today, it only has another excuse. This influx of money makes England a paradise for players and agents. But others pay the cost of this paradise, by their subscriptions to SKY and BT Sport, or their tickets to stadiums. Since the announcement of this contract, the debate has begun on the usage of this money for the profit of fans. Saturday, at the kick off of Crystal Palace- Liverpool, the ultras of Selhurst Park, the only ones in the country, showed a banner "5 billion pounds, but fans are still exploited. Share the wealth, bunch of pigs." Others were more polite. The former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher requested 20 pound seats for away fans. Gary Lineker suggested to "reduce prices to allow real fans to go to games" . But the movement seems irreversible: In their stadiums, PL clubs prefer having 70% of tourists, often times Asians who pay a lot, than 90% real fans who spend less. While this wealth may accentuate the trend of certain clubs hounding players (Chelsea loaned 27 players this season, who are forbidden to play against them!), the fundamental gulf, the true "NBA-ization" of English football will touch its marketing. The PL already dominateds the world and will expand this domination, particularly on the asian market. It will from now be visible from Friday to Monday. Its the return of the Empire on which the sun never sets. VINCENT DULUC |
Many analysts in europe are already worried. They call it the "NBA-ification" of europe by england where all the best players in the world run to england. English clubs have suffered too much from the likes of barcelona and real madrid poaching their best players and making the clubs uncompetitive. I can't wait to see english clubs giving barcelona and real madrid a real spanking every season. |
safarigirl:Okay then. We will see. Talent is not hidden. You have it or you don't. |
ziqqz:In how many minutes of football played.? You don't just judge a striker like that.. He has played far more minutes than isaac and iheanacho . And not to forget the fact that he wastes tons of easy chances before converting one or two. I think you guys are not being disapassionate in your support for him which is not surprising because awoniyi is humble and has a lot of workrate. But there is only so much workrate can do, sorry. |
ziqqz:Work rate is not everything. He is obviously smart enough to compensate for his striking deficiencies with above average work rate. But work rate alone won't make you a great striker. |
dhorlipizzu:Of course your father is a baboon. Only a baboon can sire a complete moronn like you. |
ziqqz:Of course he is still "trying out" in europe when the other two are already settled in europe since the U-17 and making instant impact. Anyway it looks like the sentiment for awoniyi is pretty strong here. |
dhorlipizzu:Go and tell that to your baboon of a father. |
ziqqz:What is there to analyse? Both players have better positioning, hold-up play and are much more lethal than awoniyi. Is it any wonder no club in europe is falling over themselves for awoniyi. |
dhorlipizzu:You were obviously sired by a baboon hence your lack of home training. |
Awoniyi is pretty average for his age grade. |
We will keep pressing it till it hurts.
And it appears, it's already hurting. |
Like someone rightly asked, is GEJ's presidency inferior to that of buhari? Since they've decided to humiliate the office of the presidency under GEJ even in foreign forums, then we will gladly continue that tradition. You guys ain't seen nothing yet. |
They are busy hating on barcanista because he is one or two levels above them all in the mental evolutionary scale. Sorry guys, you dullard of daura is in serious trouble. We will keep pressing it till it hurts. Every aspect of his govt will be criticized and vilified. It is rightly said that he who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind. If you can't take it for the next four years, go on exile. |
That monorail project is highly unproductive, an overkill ,a clear waste of funds and a conduit for amaechi to embezzle. Just try and complete it to avoid more wastage. A very unfortunate waste of govt funds. |
philips70:Go suck a thumb!!. You are not a moderator. |
nagoma:So the only way to stop the overflow of a supposed incompetence is to continue the same incompetent process ? You need a full brain transplant. |
woodcook:GEJ doesn't need their worthless apologies. What APC need to do is fufill their campaign promises and quickly stop these needless deaths and insecurity. That is all Nigerians want from them. |
tucky200:You are a tool. |
tucky200:They are doing exactly what the clueless jonathan did. So yes, they are doubly clueless. |
Deceitful old cuunts.
Bastardds. |
ibknaanii:I dey tell you. Life imprisonment, straight. |

I believe women who falsely accuse men of rape in order to ruin their lives should be subject to the full years of prison-time that rapists get. Anything short of that is injustice. |
