Anyone that has been reading El Rufai's articles ought not to be surprised at this. El Rufai has been propagating hatred and inciting violence with every opportunity he's got all in the name of being a social critic and its about time someone did something about it. It's pretty obvious that people like him that have fed fat off the back of govt can not stomach being sidelined and wld go to any length to make themselves relevant.

For those who disagree on my thought that being a housewife is a fulltime career, I would tell them to reconsider their viewpoints. Traditionally, men are supposed to be the breadwinners and women the man's helper. So, in the past, society dictated that a man had to work while the woman stayed at home to nurture the kids. Times have changed with the high cost of living in the society. Even when women work outside their homes (and some of the men here say that being a stay at home mom is a liability), they are expected to come home and take care of the kids, do the dishes, clean, cook and serve the man food. And the man does not even lift up a finger to help them. Rather, he would expect 'honey' to serve him food, clean up the table and do other domestic chores around. Why? Because it's a woman's job. But hey hey, is it not a man's job to provide for the family? If the woman will equally share in contributing to the household finances, then the man should also assist in domestic chores. Afterall, both of you have jobs outside home and it would be unfair to expect the woman to work double shift at home simply because it's not traditional for a man to engage in housework. There is this picture of Obama, prior to his election as the President of the USA, doing the dishes, and some of the men exclaimed that it was very unafrican (which I totally agreed) But times have changed, mek we boku help women too, dem no be slave. Either they stay at home fulltime or if they work, when they come home, also assist them in domestic chores. It's as simple as that. Women are not slaves.

Once, an arguement arose between my cousin and I over this issue. A family friend of theirs graduated from medical school in Nigeria, got married and is now a stay at home mom. Her parents are unhappy that she hasnt utilized her degree and cited the sacrifices they made on her behalf. My cousin saw their reasoning but I completely disagreed with him. I told him that it was the parents duty to educate her, and afterwards, what she chooses to do with her degree is solely upto her and her husband. O

Well done Amosun. But that is not enough. Those that have benefited from the state pulse to embark on pilgrimages should be asked to refund the money bit by bit. A special task force may be created to enforce this refund. It will really help the debt-ridden state.

Even Kolo Toure submitted a transfer request in January of 2009 and it was turned down - what cannot be proven is that clubs deny EVERY demanded transfer request.

That you claim players leave when you have no more use for them is neither here nor there.

coogar:
that's one part of it. . . . .

kindly show me where any of ribery or ballack threw in a transfer request and bayern munich tore the documents to shreds. . . .failure to produce that, your arguments here are null and void.

you have proven madrid showed interest, now show us where the player also made it known he wanted to leave bayern and he acted on it. . . .
come on, dayokanu. . . .prove me wrong that bayern is a big club.

Ribery told L'Equipe: "I have decided that I want to leave. It will be Real Madrid or nothing.

"I will wait to see how things pan out but I would like to hold talks with the Bayern management soon."

It has everything to do with it, if the PL is so lacking in competition that Arsenal is guaranteed to win it 95% of the time, will anyone be complaining of a 6 year drought?
and if there was no 6 year drought, we could tell Nasri and his entire generation to go to hell even if it means missing out on silverware for a season. Is that not what LVG did with some of your top players that led to your poor season this year?

coogar:
not if the player himself is forcing a move. times have changed, dayo. go and read the new play power rule. . . .

did ribery force a move? were real madrid really interested? is there any credible comment from a madrid official/manager/president that they wanted to sign ribery? i need evidence please.

Real Madrid want to sign Franck Ribery from Bayern Munich during the close season, according to Real president Florentino Perez.

"It would be a huge satisfaction to have Ribery with us as soon as next season," Perez told French daily L'Equipe in an interview published on Friday.

DK, look at it this way, no Bayern fans are complaining that Ballack left on a free but Arsenal fans are still lamenting 3 years after the event of Flamini leaving on a free and still chucking a few curses in Arsene's direction cos we haven't won anything since then, each club's situation is different. Bayern can afford to do it cos yu're superpowers in the Bundesliga, in the PL some money miss road people have upset the apple cart.
I think it is key that we keep Nasri though, losing Cesc and him at the same time will definitely tell on the team next season, we can't really afford to lose 2 players of that calibre at the same time.

coogar:
yes. . . .bayern are the biggest bully in bundesliga, they can afford to do as they please in germany. . . . .arsenal ain't the biggest money-bag in london, let alone england. if city wants muller today and muller wants to leave for england, there's nothing bayern munich will do to it. the abu-dhabis will just buy the allianz arena and make it a zoological garden for camels, snakes and desert rats.

biina:
I advise you hold on to your laugh. In exchange for Robben, Bayern have agreed to sell Ribery next summer for max of 20ME, but RM have now tabled a bid of 20ME + VdV and are waiting for a response from Bayern.

slimshay:
DK you guys do £20m deals in a day, like you did for Robben. We do £20m deals in. . . .wait we have neva don £20m deal.

We can't afford the luxuy man. Last time we did Flamini gave us the finger.

duduspace:
I don tell you to stop comparing apples with agbalumo, which club ever spends more than Bayern in the Bundesliga. Una be local champion for there naa

armyofone:
OP, pls put an end to it before it even get started i mean deal with your husband. i pity any ex that will come near my guy . by the i get done with both of them huh, they will know khaki is not leather

Anaegboka:
Though the matter is very serious this your award got me breaking my ribs with laughter. Believe me no governor will outshine this squinty eyed morun T.A. Orji in none perfomance. Chei I forgot Mbadinuju

coogar:
i cannot understand the brouhaha myself. . . . .arsenal fans are fickle-minded.

any player that wants to leave, let him leave. for every departure, there's a player elsewhere ready to wear the badge with honour. united have lost cantona, beckham, schmeichel, roy keane, van nistelrooy, etc and yet the last 5 seasons has been united's most successful period in their history. players will come and go, the club shall remain forever. . . . .

@ Slim

I understand your feelings 100% - since Arsenal hasn't signed anyone and our best players are alleged to be leaving, we should all commit suicide.

Any negative rumour is treated as fact, but every positive one cannot be true. . . . like I said, one of the most neurotic group of fans I've ever seen.

Skysports, soccernet, goal.com and co must love Arsenal fans.
