Lol. This is some funny stuff that should not be taken lightly. The OP deserves a response from Nokia PR

Fern Llorente in Juve, I would like to see how that turns out cos I have my doubts about his adaptability to that style. I always hoped Bendtner would turn out like him but ish happens

A team that couldn't even finish top four in the EPL disgraced the only team in Germany, right there in the Pseudo Germany National Stadium, sometime May 2012

A league with one team and 17 team feeder teams, I doff my hat.

David Villa in January? Looking critically at this move leaves one seriously doubting. If a similar move had been executed 6 months ago it would have a considered a stroke of genius, considering RVP's departure and all. But now?

Owen was once European player of the season if you have forgotten. His career was ruined by injuries and that ill advised move to Madrid. Even while in Madrid, he scored loads of goals. The problem was that the Madrid fans wanted Flair, Owen on the other hand was a business minded assassin, a " put the ball in the net however" kind of striker.

4llerbuntu: before u crucify me, please list the strikers that have played for Arsenal and compare with theo and consider the issue yourself.
of course excusing Chamakh


Wrighty
Bergkamp
Kanu
Henry
Eduardo
Adebayor
Van Persie
for example

i guess u can find flaws in this, as with practically any footballing opinion, but C'mon even just put Theo beside Eduardo

Theo? Top Striker, Top Dog? Theo? Abeg

You're not being fair here oga. why compare him against some of the most technical players that have graced the English game ? You don't have to possess the dribbling skills of Okocha to be a top striker you know. Speed and good finishing come into play more often.
Now here's my own list:
1. James Beatie
2. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
3. Michael Owen.

All Theo needs to learn to do is make quick decisions in the box for him to become a 20+ striker . And I'm talking EPL only.

And as for your case on players finding form in their last season just to get juicy contract extensions, does that apply to RVP too ? Stop looking for holes where there are no leaks.

What's so Happy about the new year dayo? You know there's something going to happen next month abi?
Here's a reminder. And just because we Will bring you pain doesn't mean you, very much.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Your point is not cogent enough. Simply because Hausa/Fulani people are more in population does not mean that a marginalized segment of them should not benefit from so-called affirmative actions.

In the US for example, marginalized white people do benefit from affirmative actions.

Examine the number of University graduates in Nigeria and the need to bridge the gap with affirmative actions such as being discussed becomes obvious.[/quote]Danwa, call a spade a spade, this policy is unfair. This situation is the crux of the problem we're facing in this country today. Is it a coincidence that the state in question, Yobe, is actually the incubator of our main security challenge today? You have an army of untrainable youths running about with nothing but religious extremism to hold on to," Blame the infidels, they're the reason you're hungry and naked".

If i could digress a bit, did you read the UN report that states that it is improbable for the children of a woman with college training to grow up in poverty?What are the affected governments doing about this? Are girls being targeted for enrollment?

We can sit here and talk all we want but you know that lowering standards to accommodate blockheads will only lead to poorer quality. Why not create Special Schools to train children from these areas rather than destroy fine institutions.

toluene12: actually there is, it's called affirmative action. A process whereby blacks, minorities and women are given special consideration over mainstream white in university admission, employment, public works and govt contracts.

Affirmative action like you said is designed to aid minorities. Between warri and Hausa/ Fulani people, which to you is a minority tribe in Nigeria? What did Atiku tell PDP delegates in Rivers in 2011 ?

debosky: It is not an obsession - it is a statement of fact. RVP was 29 and had spent 8 years at Arsenal - what else did Arsenal have to offer him at 29? Money? He could get more elsewhere. Trophies? He has a better chance of winning elsewhere. At 29, he wasn't going to get another chance to sign a big contract elsewhere if he re-signed with Arsenal - it's really that simple.

You see, that is the most annoying part. So there's virtually no chance of Arsenal winning anything in the foreseeable future. Then tell me which player with ambition would want to remain here ? What it translates to is that playing for Arsenal is like a dead end job.

Stop comparing apples and oranges - RVP left primarily to win trophies elsewhere. Rooney simply wanted more money because he was offered ridiculous pay next door at Citeh. Fans will always feel slighted by attacks on their club whether justified or otherwise.

How do you know if some crazy scientists in Munich, Germany, just beside the allianz arena, aren't already creating a genetically modified orange that smells and tastes like an apple?

debosky: RVP didn't even negotiate with Arsenal - he wanted out and burnt his bridges early on. You can't call such a move a blunder - a player at 29 had his mind made up and with a year left on his deal had his pick of clubs - he chose United. The best Arsenal could do was get a much as possible from a transfer and it did that.

The blunder if anything was not reinvesting £24m immediately in a top striker, not selling of RVP.

Where is proudlySPORTS and his yeye predictions? Demba Ba is sitting with Roman and Proudly claimed he would sign with Arsenal.

I don't know what the obsession is with him being 29. A 34 year old Drogba and a 27 year old Torres , which of them did the Magic for Chelsea ? I would prefer a 35 year old Di Natale to Gervinho, Chamakh and Arshavin combined.
If you're going to argue about RVP please don't bring his 29 years into it. How old was David Villa when Barca bought him ? What about Ibrahimovic ?
Arsenal didn't act properly in the first place and RVP in turn played hard ball with them. If any Fan feels slighted by what he did, too bad, but they should prepare to feel more pain when they see him celebrating in Uniteds colours at season's end. Rooney did worse and still ended up being United's highest paid player sef.

I think the RVP deal was a big blunder on Arsenal's part. If that guy stays fit till the end of the Season there's absolutely no reason why Man U shouldn't win a Domestic double. Have you seen what he has added to United? Its like they brought in two players, David Beckham and Nilstelroy combined. I still love my guy sha, Arsenal didn't see his true worth.

@cunnilingus, you might not be exactly correct.
Being an honorary Sokwotawa myself I can tell you there are Churches in strategic areas of Sokwoto(garin shehu). Places like Ahmadu Bello way just after Emir Yahaya round about (the round about near Iya Koyos restaurant: iya koyo has one fine daughter i keep regretting why i never made a move on.)
Also at J Allen area and Old Airport you'd find churches too. The Bishop of sokoto diocese lives opposite ECWA goodnews at Aliyu Jodi. If you go down fodio road small to the right is another yoruba restaurant, you know the one where the owner drives that grey CRV. The daughter fine too but she fat . I think its nakowa .

op, Why don't you show them pics of Bluestar ? That's where we all started hanging out after BH caused the 7pm closure of Mammy market. We used to then relocate to NiPost, but even there was shut down for security reasons.

Ibime: "French Jimmy Saville, you're just a French Jimmy Saville"

Southampton fans react to Wengers constant chasing of their underaged players.

That's real funny material lol

Happy New year. Just a few weeks left for US to teach Bayern proper English. I like this year already

Point of correction, Walcott is not a winger, he is an attacking Supremo

vislabraye: I can drive with or without shoe equally well. But I'm always careful when driving with palm slippers

There was an instance I was driving with my palm slippers. I removed it and drove with my bare feet. Something almost tragic happened: the palm slippers went behind the brake pedal.
When I wanted to match the brake, the slippers prevented it from going down. I was quite fast and a car was ahead of me. I had to swerve. Luckily for me the brake worked before any collision.

lol. That ish has happened to me too.. My heart was in my mouth. Since then I always put my shoes or slippers just nearly under my seat so they don't interfere.

dayokanu: This Arsenal na Akwuna kwuna

3 goals conceded at home.

I can see the Steve Bould defence working perfectly

It's better to concede 3 goals and win like United than to concede only one and lose in a Final at your home like *clears throat*

dayokanu: Na offside goal again

Arsenal no fit win cleanly. either penalty, red carded opponent or offside

How many offside goals Gomez score last season?
Your useless league don go break while real men, REAL MEN dey toss football

dayokanu: Huntelaar has extended with Schalke when he saw how useless Arsenal were when they faced Schalke

Arsenal will buy the whole Schalke first eleven with cash if they chose to before new year. That's including the coach too

Really lovely, almost like Sidney Australia when CNN showed Christmas celebrations. But let's not forget that such world class decorations should be matched with world class housing, world class electricity, world class roads and so on. Nice work commissioner.

Is this for real?

Lord have Mercy, see what man misses on a yearly basis.

Sorry I'm busy with other matters, but do you guys know we have the second best away record in the EPL, 16pts? Man U are first with 22 points

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA]wow what a baboon! ok its alright. Pagan 9Ja pardons idiocy because PAgan 9Ja is surrounded by idiots. let me ask you a question. lets say the Sun didnt exist. then in that case , would this tokamak nuclear reactor of yours would have existed[/quote]EXACTLY! Makes perfect sense. Without the almighty sun there would be no life on earth.

ALL HAIL THE SUSTAINING POWER IMMEMORIAL, OUR AWESOME SUN.

caseless: Must this anonymous sources always tell people the tactics they use in every operation? So, they did when Abu dardar(bh) was arrested, they did that with faruq lawan and otedola, now mama iweala's kidnappers.

Letting everything out might jst give this criminal a hint and make them to apply cautious whenever they want to get ransome/bribe from their victims.

When they said 'they used signal of fone abu dardar used in making calls to track him'....this landed the telecommunication companies in trouble. U are ll knw how their masts are being attacked in maiduguri and yobe, the bomb attack at their respective centers in kano, jst recently. Who knws, the bank/staffs that gave the info might be attacked by other members of the gang who are on the run.

This is the reason why people don't give info to our security agencies, cos they'll come to national tv and tell the whole world that u gave them the info. Who wan take that kain risk?

SSS shld do their work, they dont need to tell us how they do it...that's what intelligence/intelligence gathering is all about.



SHRUG MY SHOULDER(sms)

Exactly what I Thought

[quote author=Bigboy 100%]I see a lot of numb skulls here, get it clear: Nuhu Bajoga is a christian from Kwoi, Jaba Loval Govt of Kaduna State,he even attends ECWA Church. He worked with the Ashaka Cement Company for many years b4 he retired abt 10 years ago and joined politics,where he was first a deputy governorship candidare in the 2002 PDP governorship primaries. They lost the primaries to then incubent govenor Ahmed Moh'd Makarfi . He was Naija's ex-ambassador to Poland and Czech republic 2003 to 2007 b4 he was appointed as state PDP chairman by the late Yakowa in June 2012. Bajoga is also from the same clan with the late Yakowa's wife and also Plateau State governor's wife Talatu Jonah Jang. They are all cousins from the same clan. The power of PDP in kaduna state resides with the people of southern Kaduna who are 90% Christians, there4 the muslims cannot even dream of bringing a muslim-muslim ticket it will never work coz the christians have a voting power of almost 1 million votes and they always decide the fate of who rules the state. Now the muslims gave Bajoga this position so that they will take the Party Chairmanship from the christians. The youths all over town are protesting against his appointment,mind you his house is just a stone's throw from mine cos we are from the same town and we are going to pour out our fury on him for this traitor-like act. He should reject the post simpliciter. Kids should stop watching too much TV and go do some lil' research 'bout their post before sending jargons for other peeps consumption on this forum: Outro ! I dey vex Bajoga.[/quote]Accurate.
I don't want that Dinosaur Bajoga to be deputy too, but if the youths from Southern KD have no candidate of their own, the case is weak.

If they keep revealing how they operate, aren't the sss guys only teaching the criminals how not to do it next time?
And how the hell is Shekau still a free man if the sss really want him arrested?

Merry Christmas to all

Ok I've seen it now. Anyway, not like I'm taking sides but, soldier come soldier go, barracks continue

What even happened in the first place? What's the meaning of the Mexican soap opera styled drama going on? Has Nairaland been sold to Mark Zuckerberg without consulting us elders?Cos I'd really like my own cut.
