@All
Travelling abroad does not guarantee a better future.FACT.
I will like to place Nigerians living abroad in 4 categories and their percentages:
1. Those doing very well and legally: 10%
2. Those doing very well but illegally: 15%
3. Those barely managing to get by (mortgaged existence): 25%
4. Those who are in distress (sleeping on the streets) and cannot even afford a travel ticket to return home: 50%
From the above the odds are very high.
Don't ask me how I came up with those percentages!!! A top official of the Nigerian High Commission in the UK warned Nigerians against coming to the UK without a good job already beforehand.It was in the dailies.
Also, a documentary on African immigrants abroad and their shattered dreams of a better future was aired recently on Al-Jazeera.
So what else do you need?

Gbawe:
Alhaji, you have my full backing here because I am always interested in exposing latent bigotry, double standards and n.a.ked discrimination against others. Let us start by telling PointB to show us the effort him and his leaders put into salvaging our democracy , if they really believe in it passionately, when it was threatened seriously [/b]with derailment by the crude machinations of Ibori, Turai, Ojo Madueke, Yuguda, Abba Ruma, Edevbie, Muthar, Tilde, Aondaokaa and many others.

Man mi, I was at the London arm of the SNG Street march to ensure GEJ was recognised legally to act as our President. [size=18pt]This event was organised by Kayode Ogundamisi ,Tunde Bakare and others with the backing and support of Wole Soyinka, Femi Falana et al.[/size] I must ask why an ethnic group that represented so valiantly when we were in trouble[b] only recently are now villified by those who only contributed apathy and disinterest when they had the chance to show they believed in the corporate existence of Nigeria - especially when it was the man they now claim as "our brother" who was against the wall then !!!! It is awful to be like that as a human being i.e always blaming others for everything when you have also been found flawed and wanting on many occasions.

what i am dreaming of or what i have earned and moved to another spectrum.
siddon dere dey wash trays for kfc. you better go and start with ccna.

coogar:
so how has this proven the number 8 sits behind number 9?

you have only rehashed the things i have mentioned earlier in a 4-4-2.

and this is no hard and fast rule. as you can see, the writer said it is common. it is not absolute.
i have seen 4-4-2s where the 2 strikers worked together in tandem. there's no big target man or small target man.
the all conquering united team of 1999 had no big man, man in the hole. andy cole and dwight yorke were both target men. same as rooney/tevez in 2008 moscow.

You steal laffing?

The 4-4-2 formation is one of the most commonly used in the world game.

It is an adaptable system that gives teams strength in midfield and plenty of width. The role of central midfielders and full-backs, particularly, can change depending on how much emphasis a team is putting on defense or offense.

Full-backs are given more of an attacking role in this system than in years gone past.

The 4-4-2 formation is effective because it can be adapted based on whether a team is setting out to attack or defend.

Strikers in the 4-4-2 Formation

It is common in this system to have one striker playing high up the field capable of holding the ball up and laying it off to his partner. This player furthest up the field is often a big target man, with the physical strength to hold off defenders and bring his teammates into play.

But the front two does not have to comprise a big man and another striker running off him. Often teams choose to deploy a withdrawn striker, capable of playing in the 'hole' (the area behind the main striker) and using his creative skills to set up those around him, primarily his strike partner. Former Netherlands international Dennis Bergkamp was a prime example of this type of player.

If a coach opts to field a creative player in the 'hole,' the formation transforms into a 4-4-1-1.

Whichever front two combination a coach chooses to field, the player who is not a big target man or a withdrawn creative player, is likely to be a goalscorer, with the nous to sniff out and score chances in and around the penalty area.

Central Midfielders in the 4-4-2 Formation

In a 4-4-2 formation, it is common to have one defensive midfielder and another whose job is to get forward and join the strikers in the penalty area.

The defensive midfielder is charged with breaking up opposition attacks, and when the team is on the back foot, act as an extra member of the defense. Most good teams have a player capable of screening the defense, acting as an insurance policy should the team surrender possession. Three of the best defensive midfielders currently in the game are Michael Essien, Javier Mascherano and Yaya Toure. It is players such as these that allow the team's more attacking players to push forward.

The other midfielder still has defensive responsibilities, especially when his team does not have possession. But it is key that he gets forward to support the strikers when the team have the ball, otherwise there is a risk that the front men would lack support, particularly if the wingers are not of the required quality.
