ANYONE THAT KICKED IN MONEY to the Android based Ouya games console should consider faking a cough now to get ready for a couple of days off work.
The Ouya games console, which stormed through its Kickstarter target and will let you run the Android mobile operating system to play games on your television, is already shipping to investors, meaning that some people should start listening for knocks on their doors this week.
In a tweeted message over the weekend, Ouya said that it had begun sending out email notifications and said that this will carry on for a couple of weeks

Thank Heavens they didn't lace themselves with bombs and detonate in a public area

proudlysports: I wouldn't know. I don't have stats for what the demand was like last season and seasons before [size=14pt]but 84 sold out with 160 on waiting list for seats worth £25k per ticket...If I was a board member or own 0.0000000000001 share like dudu (na debo talk am o), I wouldn't mind whether the trophy cabinet is empty or not.[/size]

Besides, its not even as if the remaining 60,000 who contribute the other 'half' of match day income are complaining

But seriously, where's dudu for christ's sake, has he jumped ship ? May be he is now a Juve fan and has sold his 0.00000000000001% share of AFC. Dudu you're a traitor

this nextgen series is beginning to draw a lot of crowd in naija. I think i'll watch today's game

proudlysports: The following is one of the reasons why we have maintained status quo at Arsenal for sometime now. As long as the board keeps getting money, and (maybe) Arsene gets into the top 4 position, there's no need to aim for higher glory.

I've just heard that the Diamond club is sold out for next season already with about 160 seats on the waiting list. Wait for it.... Diamond club members pay £25,000 per ticket. Yup..per ticket, not per season. Diamond club tickets are reserved for only 84 members on match day. £2.1M/match day from these guys alone.

To put this in perspective, if the other seats go for £50/seat on average, for 60,000 capacity, that's about £3M. Just £0.9M above what the diamond club members pay

So i take it that these diamond Clubbers are not too bothered whether we win or lose ? Atleast they should be rewarded with something for their efforts i.e. TROPHY

Meanwhile, it seems we haven't missed Jack all that much though I pray he makes a quick comeback

Jack Wilshere is back on Twitter. He might as well be with the extra time he has on his hands after his latest injury layoff. Not only that, but Arsenal have won two tough fixtures without conceding since Wilshere suffered the ankle injury that also meant he was missing for England in San Marino and Montenegro, so whilst England were left cursing their luck that Jack was at home resting, could it be that Arsenal might make do without him?.....

.........., against all the odds, Arsenal won and very nearly did the unthinkable in progressing past the German giants who had a 3-1 lead from the first leg. Laurent Koscielny, who replaced Thomas Vermaelen, put in an assured performance at the back, and was given more credit than Aaron Ramsey who played alongside Mikel Arteta in Wilshere's absence, when the whole team deserved equal praise for the result. Bayern failed to score for the first time all season and Arsenal had achieved one of the most honourable exits from the Champions League in recent memory.
(dayo take note)
Up next, a tricky trip to Swansea, where Arsenal had already thrown away a lead to draw in an FA Cup clash earlier this season. They had also lost 2-0 at home to the Swans in the reverse Premier League fixture earlier on in the campaign. With Wilshere ruled out again, About Diaby stepped in, and while the Gunners were still on a high from the win at Bayern, few predicted a 2-0 victory. With the game goalless after 70 minutes, Arsene Wenger introduced that man Aaron Ramsey in Diaby's place - as well as Gervinho - and Arsenal went on to score twice, as can be seen in WhoScored's match centre, and closed the gap behind Tottenham to four points, also still holding a game in hand. Ramsey is often the object of criticism from dissatisfied Arsenal fans, but he might just come good at the most important time.

The Welshman could be part of the reason that Arsenal managed consecutive clean sheets in those games. Ramsey records a tackle every 28.6 minutes and an interception every 49.5 minutes in the Premier League this season, both markedly more often than Wilshere, who makes a tackle every 53.8 minutes and an interception every 68.5. What is more, Ramsey also keeps the ball more efficiently than Wilshere,............

However, little can realistically be drawn from such a small sample size. England's deficiencies were plain to see when Wilshere was missing, and Arsenal's might shine through before long. Over the 18 Premier League games that Wilshere has started this season, the Gunners have won 10 games - a win rate of 55.6% - whilst of the 11 he has missed, they have only won four - a 36.4% win rate. That means Arsenal have gained an average of 1.83 points per game with Wilshere starting this season, compared to 1.54 without him.

Furthermore, the win last week over Swansea, whilst undoubtedly important, was over the winners of the League Cup, who each year notoriously suffer a blip in league form after the highs of lifting a trophy. They should also beat lowly Reading this weekend at the Emirates, against whom they have already scored 12 goals in two fixtures this season, but that might just further paper over the cracks that Wilshere's absence leaves.

......The Gunners have proven with the incredible win at Bayern Munich that they can perform without Wilshere and that he isn't as key to them as say, Gareth Bale is to Spurs. However, whether they can continue to win without their midfield maestro is another matter altogether, and Arsenal fans will be hoping for Wilshere's return to come sooner rather than later.

Those tyres and Rims are headed for Naija as toris

I see we have another example of the pleasures of a chinko phone here. I guess the marketers and fans usually leave this part out when lauding the fones to the high heavens.

I hope their 'warranty' will replace the device

Joel Brinkley: Nigeria's squandered opportunity



(March 19, 2013)
By American Voices

Just outside President Goodluck Jonathan's office sat 17 ambulances, just in case he or one of his aides fell ill. They were seldom if ever used.

No actual health-care facility nationwide had as many, and in fact a few still have none at all. But as soon as a Nigerian newspaper took a photo of the ambulances and published a story about them, they suddenly disappeared -- probably to an underground garage.


Jonathan is president of Nigeria, which should be among the world's most prosperous nations. After all, it produces an estimated 2.4 million barrels of oil each and every day. With oil now selling at $93.61 a barrel, that's $224 million in income daily. And yet many hospitals can't afford to buy an ambulance. The reason, in my view: Nigeria is the most corrupt nation on earth.

Sure, Transparency International lists almost three dozen states as more corrupt -- Chad, Haiti, Laos, Yemen, Cambodia and the like. But are any of those nations as wealthy as Nigeria -- taking in $81 billion annually, just from the sale of oil? No, not even one of them. So Nigeria steals and squanders more money than any other nation, making it the world's most corrupt, by that measure.

Nigerian journalist Musikilu Mojeed finds all this so discouraging.

"With its geopolitical power, economic resources and middle class," he laments, "no country (with the possible exception of Saudi Arabia and Egypt) has the power to change the course of black/African civilization like Nigeria." After all, Nigeria is Africa's most populous state -- and large, twice the size of California.

So Nigerians are living an opportunity squandered -- particularly now. Egypt is in turmoil. In just the last few days, in fact, many Egyptians have been calling for a military coup -- anything to rid the state of its widely despised Muslim Brotherhood government. And a new report by the World Economic Forum ranked Egypt the least safe and secure tourist destination among 140 tourist nations evaluated.

Egypt has lost its place as the Arab/African worlds' leader, and Saudi Arabia never had it. So for Nigeria, the time is ripe. But its leaders seem interested only in stealing the state's money to make themselves rich beyond imaging. Think about it: $81 billion a year just from the oil, while most every local government official still tells his people the nation just doesn't have enough money to fix the roads, schools or hospitals. (Roads are in such terrible shape that government officials generally travel any distance by helicopter.)

And Nigeria's people -- well, they are as mistreated as any on earth. In only nine nations -- among them Liberia, Sierra Leone and Somalia -- do more mothers die during childbirth. And in only 10 states, including Chad, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe, is the average life expectancy lower. Right now the average Nigerian's average life span ends at 52. That may be why the median age of Nigerians is just 18.

A few months ago, the Economist Intelligence Unit published an evaluation of the best places for babies to born in 2013, given their probable welfare as children and the chance for a safe, comfortable, prosperous life. Switzerland, Australia and Norway were the top three. The United States came in at 16th, largely because "babies will inherit the large debts of the boomer generation."

Dead last: Nigeria. "It is the worst place for a baby to enter the world in 2013," the report said.

Even with all that wealth, only just over half the population has access to clean drinking water, and one-third to a toilet, UNICEF says. Two-thirds live below the poverty line. Only one child in four who contracts pneumonia is given antibiotics, and only about half the population is literate.

The CIA also cites endemic "soil degradation; rapid deforestation; urban air and water pollution." All this in a county whose gross domestic product stands at $236 billion a year, in the same league as Denmark, Chile, Israel and the United Arab Emirates -- prosperous, successful states to be envied.

Goodluck Jonathan is certainly aware of all of this. After all, taking the oath of office, he swore to "devote myself to the service and well-being of the people of Nigeria. So help me God."

Well, just last week he demonstrated who he really is and what he stands for when he pardoned a former state governor who'd been convicted of embezzling state funds and laundering the money. That pardon triggered a broad, angry uproar.

[size=14pt]Good luck, Mr. Jonathan. It's time you were impeached.[/size]

I understand where you're coming from but you have to understand that this is actually good. Nigerian's are putting their mark on on the world and it's an inspiration to millions of black kids. Just view it like you would Ballotell

good afternoon my android brethren. for the first time in almost two years i have found meself without an Android device by my side. my lg optimus finally packed up and i've been left in the wilderness. i'm sad, helpless and hopeless and can't wait till i can get my hands on some spare cash so i can breathe again. any advice on what i should be aiming for ? Ashipa which ICS devices do you recommend ?

debosky: Good job Gala.

Draxler ko, stapler ni.

Didier, Destroyer of German Dreams

Wilshere ?

Wilshere ?

The master himself, the Original DB

MrMexs007: I also use a Civic 2002 Ex. I've been using a multigrade SAE 20w - 50 which burns slightly in my engine. And I always do my oil change every 2months as I do not get to hit recommended 3000k miles. Edoyad the 5w - 40 is close to whats recommended how does it perform in your Civic?

So far I think it's been a excellent. It's Total 9000 which ironically sells for about 5k for 5 liters. The guys at total said I could drive for 9k kilometers or 9 months before another service but I only go for 5 months then I will change.

Originalsly: I think shallow or low profile tires are designed for high speed driving on smooth roads.They do not allow much cushion and easily get punctured on hitting pot holes and result in rim damage on impact.If you want to install them for show be prepared to be frequently inconvenienced with flats and damaged rims.

I use 195 x 50 x 15". On a smooth express way driving interstate at over at over 130km/pH, it feels like the best thing ever. But woe betide me I hit a pot hole, I might have to condemn both the affected Tyre and rims.

fredoooooo: i like you bro , atleast you no your mate , not like your other gunners

Name them. Ewu

But to be honest, if this Spurs team can't beat this current Le Arse team, then they have no business being in the UCL next season

No offense guys, but Spurs have never been a challenge for Arsenal

This una 5w-30 no easy to find o. I have been using Total 5w-40 for my civic since that's the only thing I can find that's close to the recommended.

^^^ Don't worry guys, it's in the pipeline. More glory days ahead.

Good Times

Gareth Bale is a God Damned Mo fo.

WestHam doing Arsenal a favour right now.

Wenger rejected Bayern's overtures, if that's not an achievement then I don't know what is.

Inter draw level, bugger

Even Laudrup wen enter English league yesterday.

Fantastic save by Abbiati two mins ago

Milan ahead at half time, Inter are riding their luck today, they should be 3 goals down by now.
