Two Fringe players from Arsenal = Back bone of Germany team

I'm tipping Holland to win the Tournament.

Slowly but surely....

mystikal: I had always imagined Italy will steal the show at this tournament. Having seen them against Russia. . . not too sure now

Italy usually are unpredictable like that, then when the tournament starts they pick up

Can Parker carry England?

Chamberlain plays for Arsenal

mbulela: Did Cecilia Ibru not get an award of such from this same source?
Ever since i saw Cecilia Ibru interviewed on HARD TALK BBC, i lost respect for these foreign labes

Funny but I remember when Cecilia was interviewed by CNBC on that Leaders show, Time changes everything indeed.

P.S. Is this the same guy whose wife was caught on Camera in the UCL Final?

1025 , are you now a Chelsea Fan? I thought you were a Fan of the other Finalist. Don't make us come to your 'real' thread

That logo Will not survive, that arewa sign Will provoke the wrath of Majority of the people

lynxpro: What do you think this is? 007 or Terminator Salvation? This is real life and things like this do happen! Osama was killed after how many attempts?

lol

Tropilo: If those of you who leave in these terror enclaves up North can provide adequate information for the authorities to act, all this nonsense will cease. But must of you are either tacitly or vicarously in support of these criminal happenings. Its only when the authorities act with the little info they have, you all open your mouths to claim innocent people were killed.
From the way you people talk and behave, its very difficult to believe you all are not in it together.

Exactly, may be one of the kidnappers even led morning prayers

Sad news, but its the cycle of life I guess

m Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), came a bombshell yesterday when he described Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, National Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as spokesman of the dreaded Islamist sect, Boko Haram.

The venue of his outburst was Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, where he briefed the media on the resolutions of the CAN’s extra-ordinary council meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC). Pastor Oritsejafor said that for Tukur, leader of the biggest party in Africa to have justified Boko Haram’s activities as a fight for justice showed that many leaders in Nigeria were active supporters of the sect.

As the CAN leader spoke, the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General, Jama’atul Nasri Islam (JNI), Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar 111, yesterday in Kaduna appealed to members as well as the Muslim Ummah to ensure peace and security reign in the North CAN president wondered the kind of justice, Boko Haram was fighting for when even the Federal Government had paid the family of their slain Mohammed Yusuf, N100 million, claimed as damages for the assumed extra-judicial killing of the sect leader.

“But thousands of Christians are being killed. I know of Pastor Ojeh, from Benue State whom he alleged Yusuf personally killed for refusing to cite some verses of the Quran in Maiduguri. We had since evacuated the widow and three children and paid rent for them in another state. Every Christmas, we would send food and money to them. Who has compensated that family till now; so, what is justice in the eyes of Bamanga Tukur?” Oritsejafor asked.

On the resolutions of the NEC meeting, the CAN president said; “NEC observed the sporadic shootings, incessant killings of Christians, the bombing of churches, silent killings, slaughtering and the silent disposal of corpses of those killed have continued. NEC members believe that contrary to the orchestrated reasons of poverty and injustice, by some Muslim leaders in the North, Boko Haram had been masterminding the series of bomb and gun attacks which are primarily targeted at Christians in its bid to exterminate all forms of Western education and enthrone the Islamic law of Sharia as the universal law in Nigeria.

“The NEC of CAN observes that the total number of people killed by the sect members is far more than it is reported in the media and the sequence of fatal attacks and silent killings present a grim picture of the trauma of Christians in the North. According to the figures presented at the meeting, the 300 deaths recorded in March went up to about 500 in April and by yesterday, May 23, the figure has hit over 1,000 with more number of injured Christians.”

Pastor Oritsejafor said both government and security agencies need to do more to contain the senseless killings and that government should seriously consider Boko Haram as a terrorist group, even as NEC urged the government to mobilize human and financial resources in its fight against the sect.

While reiterating the call for prayers and fasting by all Christian. . . . .

A month ago, what were things like a month ago? Life's a beech

Mafia4life: Why is it that this thread is not like Iphone App Killer section or other threads like Best of S60v3... Everyone respond to those who want to buy an andriod device only. We just came into the game and need some app recommendation. None shows concern. It just seems too bore. It is either root issue or HTC sensation issue.

Ask your question, not every one is rooting or using a HTC like you claim.

HNosegbe: To address the issue, I think its crucial for our long-term energy security for us to have a decentralised and diversified power sector. The first world nations have been very hypocritical with this greenhouse issues The US is still the world's largest emitter, despite all the noise being made about climate change

Help me tell am

Gusau's alright, at least so I heard, why don't you show up at your company in Gusau first? your Colleagues there will be able to give you the help you need.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]When the small emission level gives one of your relatives cancer, you'll have a rethink. Why can't this government invest in natural gas which we have in abundance and transport them by rail/pipeline, and use storage facilities in key locations thereby making them readily available to gas fired plants?

There are other ways to create jobs than coal mining. A small refinery in Kogi state would be a better investment in my opinion. (costs less than $1billion like the one being built in Anambra)[/quote]Can you hear yourself? You're saying we should continue depending on a sector we actually trying to stop being heavily dependent on for everything.
All these talks about Gas this and Gas that are things I've been hearing since I was a child and nothing has become of it.. I'm. sorry to say that Nigeria's petroleum sector is one of the most Corrupt entities on this Planet, and any hopes of anything coming t of there in the immediate future is a tall dream.
This is an opportunity to diversify our revenue base and I hopwe see a fast paced growth.

dayokanu: We have bigger fishes to fry next Saturday we cant be worrying about freaking Dortmund

What's the situation on the Fish Frying?

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Coal ko? We have enough natural gas, a substantial quantity which is burning away as waste, yet they want to start using coal fired electric generation plants. I suppose the CO, SO₂, and other resulting air pollutants which are by products of such plants will be cleaned up instead of allowing them to substantially increase health risks and depletion of the ozone layer risks.[/quote]Nigeria's Industrial Carbon Footprint is just a dot compared to any average Industrial country, not to mention Super Powers. Don't let these people deceive you, even if we quadrupled our emission levels we would not be remotely near Western levels. Yes the Ideal situation would be to focus on gas but Coal is cheap and available for now. It would create Jobs and help states like kogi generate much needed revenue. The Countries telling you to Shun Coal Still have massive Coal mines and Coal power Stations

VENTURES AFRICA – Nigeria’s Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Musa Sada, has revealed plans to bolster the country’s electricity generation capacity with coal, a local business daily has reported.





The minister made the disclosure during opening Zuma Coal Mines in Okobo, Kogi State in the Central region of Nigeria.





Sada said that the plan was to make sure that the country did not rely on one source to provide electricity; he said this has become necessary to prevent disappointment when shortage of gas and water occurs.



Chairman of Zuma Group, Innocent Ezuma said that the company has a reserve of of about 380 million tonnes of coal. Ezuma confirmed the minister’s optimism by declaring that within next 18 months; the company would be able to establish a reserve of two billion tonnes.



“Today, we are experiencing a lot of scarcity in water and gas. Our water levels have drastically reduced,” he said.



Ezuma also opined that in other counter challenges to Nigeria’s energy security, there is need “to introduce coal to the energy mix.”



Epileptic power supply has been a thorn in the flesh of economic activities in Africa’s 2nd largest economy for years, with projects and blueprints drawn up and abandoned severally.



Earlier this month, the Federal Government of Nigeria took a firm step at resolving the perennial crisis in the power sector when it signed an agreement with Siemens Limited Nigeria to support the power sector revolution through a range of power solutions and financing options

Why is Shell always implicated in the dirtiest Corruption cases in Nigeria? And they always get away with it

Shell, ENI, FG in U.S.$1.9 Billion Round-Tripping Transaction
BY BLESSING ANARO, 22 MAY 2012 In a clandestine shuffle, Shell, ENI subsidiaries in Nigeria and the federal government may have quietly been engaged in a round-tripping payment of $1.092 billion over the long-disputed oil block OPL 245, court documents from a March 2012 New York arbitration case have revealed. Round-tripping, also known as round-trip transactions or "Lazy Susans", is defined by The Wall Street Journal, as a form of barter that involves a company selling "an unused asset to another company while at the same time agreeing to buy back the same or similar assets at about the same price." Round trips are characteristic of the New Economy companies. They played a crucial part in temporarily inflating the market capitalisation of energy traders such as Enron, CMS Energy, Reliant Energy, and Dynegy. In international scenarios, round tripping is used for tax evasion and money laundering as well. According to a report by Global Witness entitled "Shell's obscure payments kill its case for weak US and EU transparency laws" Nigerian subsidiaries of both Shell and ENI agreed to pay $1.092 billion to the Nigerian government for oil block OPL 245 in the country. But at the same time, the same amount was agreed to be paid by the Nigerian government to Malabu Oil and Gas, a company widely reported to be controlled by an Abacha-era minister and convicted money-launderer, Mr. Dan Etete. Global Witness is an international NGO established in 1993 that works to break the links between natural resource exploitation, conflict, poverty, corruption, and human rights abuses worldwide. The documents from the court case showed that Shell and ENI subsidiaries agreed to pay $1,092,040,000 to the federal government to settle any existing claims surrounding the ownership of the long-disputed block OPL 245, although the documents suggest the ENI subsidiary, Nigeria Agip Exploration Ltd, may have made the payments to the government on behalf of both companies as the "operator" of the block. The report noted that a second agreement, made in the same month revealed that the gover

Trouble in Paradise??

Sokoto's Armed robbery rate is no where near Zamfara's inspite of, I'm scared stiff driving past Gusau any time I'm travelling home.

murtalaa: The OP meant to say 'unguwar marina police station'. Its actually not the police headquaters. There was gunshots but not involving boko haram. Lately, Sokoto is afflicted with armed robbery menace where shops are robbed in broad daylight, mostly by ibo armed robbers who take advantage of security situation in the country to perpetrate their evil. Yesterday, there was a gunfight between those gangs and the police.

But the incident truly did occur for those of you doubting, all the bike men were talking about it this morning

I've been analysing this shot, what does it mean ?
I suspect He intended diving in the right direction initially but changed his mind during execution. If you look closely you'll notice his lips muttering, "oh sh!t, what I really wanted to do" .



At least Kagawa is leaving Dortmund, that's one reason to be cheerful. Dayo you can count on us, we'll be there in times of Pain, Anguish, Sorrow, depression, Suicidal thoughts etc

What about Ayatolla Buhari the Serial Loser He's over 70 but still giving Sermons on dogs and Apes, has he been advised too??

On a serious note, why don't you guys let dk rest? His responses show he's trying real hard to conceal great disappointment. We have the break to analyse and integrate. Dk take time to grieve, there's no rush. Epele

Interesting, she's a Bayern Fan!
