You forgot Monica Seles and Jenefer Capriati. The women's game needs to step up.

Hear Hear.


Honourabe mention to my fellow brit Andy Murray. I am undecided about him. His game is appealing,
especially the variety and he has shown significant determination to improve his stamina. Just don't
think he believes he can go all the way despite him saying this is his best surface.

I imagine its because many Igbo artistes were quick
to adopt ''pop'' music, which is not necessarily what
whites want to hear when they scour for esoteric music.

Lagbaja will always have more of a dedicated audience
than say a P-square for example.

I have also met many white world music fans who are very
aware of the likes of Celestine Ukwu and Victor Uwaifo.
Admittedly, Osadebe less so.

Nothing gets up my backside more than when I seem to care than the athlete competing.

Marat Safin needs to be locked in a room and flogged with serious koboko. He more than
anybody should have punctuated the relentless hoarding of grand slams by Federer.

Thank God, he is retiring. Good riddance to insouciant rubbish.

The return of Clijsters shows the paucity of talent in the women's game
beyond the top ten. And it isn't new. The likes of Hingis and especially Steffi
Graf have come back from lengthy layoffs to make easy money beating overmatched
opponents and in Graf's case, going as far as winning slams.

Shame about Gasquet. That ban has really set his game back I think.

But he is playing against the best player in the world. I actually hope Nadal wins this.
His game is out of this world, and I would like to be entertained and see if he can match
Federer's haul of Slams.

Let the chase begin

simply the greatest player i have ever watched.

I don't think there is any more evidence needed as to how clueless our legislators are

The lawmakers in Abuja had hauled the Central Bank governor before them, to defend the legality of his actions in firing the senior executives of five failing banks.

Leading the charge was the chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Banking, Ogbuefi Ozomgbachi, who was indignantly challenging Sanusi Lamido Sanusi over whether the central banker had overstepped his authority and made a mockery of our constitution.

“Any action taken in pursuant to the CBN Act that is inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution is null and void, ineffective and of no effect whatsoever,” Mr. Ozomgbachi thundered, reading from prepared remarks.

But the four-page letterhead document from which Mr. Ozomgbachi read his hand-written introductory remarks bore the logo of Rockson Engineering, a company identified by the CBN as one of the worst bad debtors whose non-performing loans sent the giant Intercontinental Bank to ruin.

Rockson, whose directors are the wealthy businessman J.I.A Arumemi-Ikhide and his wife, Mary, owed and had refused to pay Intercontinental about N37 billion as of May 31.

That and other large loans gone bad caused the bank to run out of cash, and the CBN to rush in to the rescue. The bank’s CEO, Erastus Akingbola, has since fled the country and been declared a fugitive by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Rockson claims the whole thing is a misunderstanding.

How lawmakers who claimed to be acting in the interest of the public came to read their strong criticism of the Central Bank governor from a company central to the dispute led observers at yesterday’s hearing scratching their head.

4 Play:
Nigeria is not the US with a sophisticated and outsized banking system. History shows we have had major bank failures, they are indeed a norm, without consequent shock to the economy. There is a tendency for people to juxtapose logic and events relevant in the West with Nigeria.

We simply can't afford zombie banks. Not even the US can as they are bound to find in years to come.

Nigeria has not become quite as sophisticated as the US but it surely has matured post consolidation,
whether to the extent the collapse of the five banks would have caused systemic risk, is a moot point
at worst.

On the topic of flooding the banks with money. Well, I do not envisage a vertiginous climb in inflation.
The amounts in question is a minute percentage of GDP. I do not expect aggregate demand to jump through
the roof since much of the funds would probably be gobbled up by a very very minute portion of the population.

4 Play:
The Nigerian economy is essentially anchored on the price of oil. We would have survived the collapse of those 5 banks.

Inflation is probably running at double digits at a time GDP growth is barely positive. The last thing we need is another injection of N420bn. Looks like the lunatics are back in charge of the asylum.

Lol. . . . . This reminds me of just prior to the Lehman collapse.

We all know how that turned out.

Regardless of how reliant the economy is on oil, I don't see how
the country could go forward with uncertainty on both the domestic
and foreign fronts over the health of our banks. We already have
enough of a challenge attracting investment, without the baggage
of the collapse of some of the most visible financial institutions in
the country.

There seems to be a great deal of uncertainty over the source of these funds.

Some say, the money was printed, our clueless legislators say it came from money that should have been appropriated,
now I hear it is from money the banks already had available to them throught the discount window. Can someone
just clarify once and for all, though I suspect its the last.

well. . . . . I would like to know any suggestions as to how a collapse
of the banking system would have been averted without pumping money
into the banking system.

Whether through printing money or through borrowing money or whatever means anyone
thought was better, it was a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.

The game reminds me of United's trip to the Emirates last season where United dominated but came away with nothing.

Arsenal are the better team on this evidence. And except something changes at the end, then I don't expect Arsenal

to finish below United.

moonraker:
This Game will end 2-1 in favor of arsenal,

manu simply not up forit today

I think they are up for it. . .but Arsenal simply have the better team on the pitch.
