this is the part I love most . . .

Now about Adebayor.

I have written a lot of stuff about Adebayor for three years. I proclaimed Adebayor as the saviour almost two years ago who would give us a way of playing without Bergkamp. I have written glowing stuff about him and then I have written some pretty bad stuff too. I have apologised to Adebayor in article here after changing my mind about him. It happens from game to game. It's infuriating to me as I'm sure it is to many of you. When I go back to read all the stuff I have written about Adebayor it looks schizophrenic.

But there is one thing that I want to say about Adebayor that will not change. I want to have this on record as a baseline because I know I will write bad stuff again sometime in the future but this is the baseline.

Adebayor is very important to Arsenal. Adebayor may not have great touches in important situations and good decision making all the time. But neither did Vieira or Drogba until they were 27. But he does have base skills to grow like the other two and some extra-ordinary skills in some areas.

Adebayor's understanding of the striker's job is comparable with some of the best strikers in the world and I cannot think of a team that Adebayor cannot play in right now as first choice of a very regular sub used in each game. The reason is because he knows what a striker should do, he is very very brave, he never hides, he is strong and he has a massive personality – a winner's personality. His presence is in fact important even when he doesn't score. It makes a mess of defenders and annoys them. He does very clever things occasionally. He can give perfect knock-downs or very inspiring passes sometimes like the 20-yarder to van Persie against Stuttgart where he failed to lob Lehmann. He can hold the ball quite effectively and drop deep to defend.

Simple things may fail him often but at 24-years-old, Wenger has every right to believe in him and Wenger will be right even if he only manages half the goals he scored last season this time round.

So that's my baseline of Adebayor. I know I will be pissed off in a game sometime in the future but I have written that down to have it in context.

Oga, doctor; sorcery and witchcraft are English words, and you may say it means they too know about those words. Correct!
The only difference is that most of the English pepole already know that those things don't work. We're having this debate, because as a result of lack of empiric knowledge, we have resorted to and continue to place too much emphasis on juju/sorcery/witchcraft.
Oyingbo no be magic, they simply think through issues. The more you know from science and arts the less you appreciate juju, and vice-vasa.
Bye the way, those things you see with your korokoro eyes are called hallucination, visual hallucination to be exact. Those people that see dead people, see animals changing into man and the other way round, need to be evaluated for hallucination.
Do you know how many people on naija streets are suffering with diabetic hallucination/coma/visions? Just make sure you check your sugar bro.

u havent particularly said anything different from what others have said . . .

now u have come with visual hallucination as an alibi to suit ur ignorance !!!

no one is saying believe in Juju . . .what we are saying is JUJU EXISTS !!! NO ONE IS EVEN DISCUSSING THE POTENCY . . .PRAY U DONT FALL VICTIM SHA . . .

[quote author=Nigeria1;; link=topic=151866.msg2597773#msg2597773 date=1217680400]webdezzi , you are a fraud. Same person going about using different name. I can see why you want fraud to continue in Nigeria.

That funny, can you tell me which school did you go to? Like I said humbly I am better educated than Governor. I do not want to sound been proud. Look I do not want to bring anyone down, please verify his record and mine. And apart from that do you know what it takes to have even just a ordinary first degree in electrical engineer. Only smart people with more than an average IQ have degrees in electrical engineer. Please verify this fact before you reply. If you have average IQ, you can not finish a degree in Electrical engineering. Please verify this information. Average IQ is not accepted.

Even getting into the university. I had A's in maths, additional maths, statistics, physics and chemistry, do you want me to continue before i was given admission to do my first degree in electrical engineering at the university of Ilorin. From my primary days to secondary days. I started representing my school in debate and science competition from primary school. How many dumb people do that. I got in on merit and finished university on merit and went to school again abroad.

So do you still think i am dumb. Now which degree did you major in, do not run away like your doctor that claim he had PHD. I would not reply you again. They say foolish people rule over dumb people. I could see now it is true.[/quote]Selective amnesia is very bad disease . . .

Emperoh:
I guess that means playing with the types of Lampard, Essien Drogba

LMAO !!!

ur understanding why I use the appelation Dr is my first assignment to u before u can dream of gaining admission to peoper adult education school. . .

[quote author=Nigeria1;; link=topic=151866.msg2596444#msg2596444 date=1217633802]My last word , this is were i live.  this is how lagos would  look like 4 years after I become governor. Every builder in north america would be in Nigeria. If you want to remain underdevelop, good lucky.  And this is not a joke. It is my last word on the issue.

@Nigeria

your ilk can never rule Lagos . . . NEVER !!!!   

A PERSON LIKE You THAT CAN NOT EVEN WRITE WELL TO SAVE HIS LIFE IS ASPIRING TO RULE LAGOS ? JESUS IS LORD !!!   

even the present Councillor in my ward writes better english than the gibberish that u put up here all in the name of wanting to be heard . . . .funny enough u keep talking of contesting in 2011, even if u undergo adult education classes between now and then You CANT EVEN WIN AN ELECTION ON UR STREET TALK LESS OF UR WARD !!! moreso in Lagos State . . .HABA !!! 

why should I convince u . . I will rather confuse u

support Eko United and ur life will not remain the same again

my mind's eye tells me 4play will be the 1st Nigerian to purchase these range of products

@Toxnaija

u are the man jare !!! 

amma call u later in the morning hopefully, had too long a day and was off my phone for most of the day . . . .

BRF has shown all and sundry that he is not all mouth but action, a man that never gets deterred by negative criticism, one who is focused and knows that even though the road is rough THEY ONLY PREVAIL HE WHO DAILY MARCHES FORWARD AND NEVER SAY FAIL !!!

BRF is one who has touched so many lives in a million and one ways, given hope to many others, in doing all this ensuring that all is aware that ITS NOT BUSINESS AS USUAL !!!

people questioned his rationale for bringing in Rio as the chief launcher of the street soccer project, the same set of people have forgotten that the kind of role Rio plays as MAN UTD capt and as English captain is enough to make our youths sit tight and do something with their lives . . .RIO WAS BROUGHT UP IN PECKHAM, a London ghetto, oir Oshodi equivalent . . .TODAY IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST AND MOST WIDELY RESPECTED SPORTS PERSONALITIES !!! isnt that enough for any child to draw inspiration from ?

to add to that . . .The Motherless children home at Lekki just got numerous gifts - matress, provisions and other household equipment from the foundation set up by Rio on his visit . . .DO WE NOW SEE THAT BRF HAS JUSTIFIED HIS BRINGING IN RIO ? . .to boot, this is just a tip of the iceberg expected from Rio 

we all have seen how BRF has been working round the clock to make sure the health sector is up and working ? what of the transport sector ? what of the various security meetings he holds just to make sure all is secure as much as possible ?

arent we all happy that the operations of the omo oniles have been drastically reduced ? arent we happy that LAWMA is doing that job as it should be done ?

arent we happy that we have a responsive governor that puts his telephone no and mail in various media just so that u and I can communicate with him ?

as Lagosians, we need to acquaint ourselves with the workings of Govt, in doing this we would realize, that the malaise in the society is monumental, but with time this Govt will surpass even itself if we as Lagosians come up with positive critisisms not spastic comments, with our co-operation, the BRF government will get there . . .THIS IS ONE DYNAMIC GOVERNMENT THAT WILL GIVE US ALL A NEW LAGOS THAT WOULD BE ENVY OF ALL !!!
