ha ha ha ha has haha chai nigerians!!!

Mr man that Milito scored just 22 goals was as a result of Eto being played out of position. For your info mister Milito can't score without Eto finishing the job for him. The same thing is said about Tevez, he can't hustle his way like messi to score. He depends on Adebayo, Philips, Belamy to hustle their way and then give him to score sitters.

This guy was the third highest goal scorer in serie A last season and he has always topped the scorers charts in whatever league he has played so your statements are very false. Also, adebayor started only 26 times this season so you don't even know what you are talking about. Tevez is the hardest working striker in the premier league, he goes out to hustle for the ball all the way from midfield, if possible from the defense and he brings the ball up to score: he creates his own chances himself so stop lying. In case you also didn't know, tevez was usually played as the sole striker in man. city's 4-2-3-1 formation so this means that you sir haven't watched much of this players besides what you see on highlights or the occasional game that they play in the champs league on TV, so next oga, why don't you stick to watching the so called big 4.

I do not know why you say red flag, I am not African so my customs are not yours ,it is evident that for you a girl who is not a virgin is a problem and I respect that but in my country it is no important. Here people value more other things than the simple fact of dating a girl who has already been with a man in a bed. And seeing things from a different perspective, for us it is more important to know if that girl is the right one to share your life with and spend a lifetime with the wrong person is sadder than spending a first night with a not-virgin, anyway virginity only lasts that first night.

Virginity might not be prized as it was back in the day but its still a sign of purity that the girl has not been "all over the place". At the end of the day, it depends on the guy, some might prefer a girl more "experienced" some might prefer someone who is "brand new".

Besides, don't you guys care about STD's in Cuba?

my experience in the uk has however taught me that we go too far in nigeria about use of english. even the english don't care. i have seen them 'murdered' the language. but they write well - formally.

just understand parts of speech. that is the most important thing. SEUN is a good example here. he writes correctly without 'big' grammar.

i taught this in extramural classes for a long time. i didn't study english nor attended a 'sophisticated' (?) school though.

o ri e pe jare. I remember i used to correct my oyinbo friends essays. Nobody send here for yanki at alllll.

“This is the worstest situation I have ever seen”.

Tuyis:
Nice one. Like former president Bush would say; you can never "misunderestimate" the power of good communication skills.

ha ha ha ha Thank goodness we got rid of that man at last.

No man dares sit on this Nigerian throne
In Kumbwada, a curse has assured that only women will reign, locals say. And so far, the current queen pronounces, it has worked out better this way.
Reporting from Kumbwada, NigeriaThe palace, under a rusted corrugated roof, looks mostly like a shed. Only one delicate pair of feet in its single room is shod, and they are in black rubber flip-flops.

This is the genteel court of Queen Hajiya Haidzatu Ahmed.

The queen's henna-dyed fingers are childlike and slender, her smile girlish and her voice soft. Whenever she speaks, the men who are her courtiers listen, enraptured. Whenever she giggles, they laugh loudly. Whenever she explains some point, they nod solemnly.
In Nigeria's conservative Islamic north, women are barred from ruling, except in the kingdom of Kumbwada. Here, an ancient curse keeps males off the throne, according to locals. Male pretenders who dare to try will be buried within a week.

The last man who wanted to overturn the tradition of female rulers was the queen's father, Prince Amadu Kumbwada, 58 years ago. All he did was say he wanted to succeed his mother, then still alive. He was immediately taken ill.

The prince was rushed to a distant kingdom, where he eventually recovered. He never returned.

"There has never been a male ruler," the queen says, chuckling, a sound like dry, crackling paper. "Even my father just voiced his desire to be chief, but it almost killed him."

Her grandmother, on the throne for 73 years, died when she was 113.

Hajiya was a child when her father tried and failed to become his mother's successor. She was too young to feel any sense of rivalry, but old enough to believe the curse would kill him.

She points up to the nail-pocked iron roof with a mischievous smile, to indicate that it's God's will.

"It's a women's affair," the 65-year-old monarch says. "Women are the rulers and they rule as effectively as men, sometimes even better than men."

These are alien pronouncements in a part of Nigeria where women typically are relegated to second place and strict Sharia, or Islamic law, is the rule.

But in the community Hajiya has ruled for 12 years, women get a sympathetic hearing in cases of wife beating or divorce.

"When domestic issues come to me, the way I treat them will be quite different to other traditional chiefs," she says. "I'm a woman and I'm a mother and I have so much concern and experience when it comes to the issue of marriage and what it means for the maintenance of the home and what it means for two people to live together."

Kumbwada, an undulating region with low, scrubby forest, is so notorious for banditry that the road is dotted with police checkpoints every few miles.

For years, there have been hostile mutterings among northern Islamic clerics in other tribal kingdoms that the curse against male rulers amounts to witchcraft.

"Once there is evidence of the use of black magic in any situation, Islam considers it a deviation which must be reversed," Sheik Aminuddeen Abubakar, imam in the city of Kano, reportedly said several years ago. Reached by phone recently, he stood by his comments.

Musa Muhammad, the chief imam of Kumbwada, defended the queen, saying Kumbwada's position was unique.

"We can't live without a leader, and the fact that any male rulers that ascend the throne die quickly and mysteriously while female rulers reign for many years makes our case a peculiar one," Muhammad says. "This is an exceptional situation none of us can change."

As the traditional ruler, the queen handles disputes such as quarrels over land, divorces, petty violence, accusations of theft and arguments between neighbors. Government courts step in only if a traditional ruler refers a case or if the situation isn't resolved to everyone's satisfaction.

omo, what a terrible article indeed, he be like say the guy fell for a scammer so he really has it in mind for us.

I watched Milito and Tevez this season and they were not very impressive.

WHAT?!?!?!?!? Once in a while, you read something on nairaland that surprises you or makes you really really angry. Oga, you just lost any ounce of credibility you ever thought you had. Carlitos is one of the highest goal scorers in the premier league and you are blaming because his team did not make it to the UCL? geez, do you know that football is a team sport at all?

Also, El Principe was named Serie A player of the year because he scored 22 goals (27 in all competitions) in the Serie A for Inter. Now one thing i want to know is how the heck is 27 goals in 35 games not impressive. What has Yakubu and co ever scored this season? Like someone posted earlier, if Yobo can't stop the likes of Darren Bent and co. how the heck is he going to stop this guys.

this talk talk people ,una no go leave the woman alone.

Why should we leave her alone?? We are technically her boss: this is a democracy and the people who hire (elect) you are your bosses and you need to be accountable to them at ALL TIMES.

The wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, flew out of the country on Wednesday night to Dubai on an undisclosed mission.

Undisclosed mission ke No be to chop money?

babaearly:
As a top defender he shouldnt be saying that. When will footballers learn to talk like boxers?

Because they are two different sports duh? Also, because football fans can be less forgiving if you sign a check you can't cash. Trash talking is acceptable in boxing in football where you are not the variable in the equation and not the only one in charge of your destiny (there are 10 other players whose destiny is shared with you) its a lot different.

Besides Joseph Yobo na top wetin?

My prediction for Nigeria in the Group Stages.

1. We will play at least three matches.
2. We will wear a green shirt in at least one of the matches.
3. We will be one of the best four teams in the group.

he he he he.

eldee:
Yobo wants to stop Messi . . . let him stop Aliadiere first

ha ha ha  

Olaolufred:
If Goodluck send them forth,

They will surely have good luck.

lol

yes ooooo with a leader like goodluck what can possibly go wrong?

Hardtalk:
Exactly what I raised the other day. I am not moved by the so-called first class being carried about these days by many, because some of them are not worth it. These guys may have the brains, but the system will never allow the best emerge. That is why someone with third class, will go to UK and do very well.

Who will you blame? Bad educational policy and poor infrastructure, used in teaching these medical students. Please visit all the colleges of medicines in Nigeria, and water will come out of your eyes, in 2010. Half-baked graduates everywhere.

That's why i laugh when Nigerians get angry because foreign companies who come to naija hire other foreigners. If i had my own company, i wouldn't hire anybody who studied in naija period.
