I just did a research on this Nana Kwaku Bonsam man, he is a renowned fetish doctor in Ghana and other countries.

Common sense tells that the pharmacist and the guy who bought the stolen phone far away in PH cannot be charged for murder. Only two are directly involved in murder. Anyone calling for all four guys to be punished for murder has 'ALUU' mentality. Thank God judges are literates, otherwise, from what I see people write here on Nairaland, the prisons should have been full and more being built every month.

Some of you who use second hand phones and UK used BB may actually be using stolen phones, so if such a stolen is retraced to a Robber, does it make you the buyer an armed robber? The pharmacist too, he is only guilty of negligence, nothing more. Both the pharmacists and the buyer of the phones are also indirect witnesses in this case.

Alex Ferguson is expected to rest key players ahead of UCL clash with Madrid. Rooney, Carrick, Chicharito are most likely going to be rested. SAF has said he will by two different teams against Everton and Madrid.

I hope United wins and open a 12 points lead at the top. That will be almost unassailable.

Most of the breaking news that were news, I mean news that drew the interest of many were broken first by Sahara reporters. I saw most of them first on nairaland home page, then several hours or days later the rest of the media will begin to carry such news too. Good and bad news! Corruption, governors in crashes, first lady sickness, governors sickness, bombings, police HQ and military barracks bombings, they were the first media in the world to publish photo of Mutalab, the Nigerian guy that was to blast a plane in US. Even CNN had to rely on that same photo. Whether good or bad, news is news, and for breaking news, we have to give it to Sahara reporters. Most surprisingly, they get it right over 95% of the time.

I too did not use to take them serious, but in 2011 and 2012 they won my followership. They were always hitting the target.

Is it every post people argue and make insulting comments? If the president is sick, then it's a news item. Just like it's news too if he has a new baby in his family. Just because a pastor prayed for him doesn't make him a super human. The pastors themselves get sick too.

When Hilary Clinton and Bush fell sick recently the media reported. Nigerians should wake up.

Miracle by fire by force.

China Passes U.S. to Become the World’s Biggest Trading Nation

09 Feb 2013

Wen Jiabao, Chinese Premier

(Bloomberg)

China surpassed the U.S. to become the world’s biggest trading nation last year as measured by the sum of exports and imports, ending the U.S. supremacy in global commerce that emerged after the end of World War II in 1945.

U.S. exports and imports last year totaled $3.82 trillion, the U.S. Commerce Department said yesterday. China’s customs administration reported last month that the country’s total trade in 2012 amounted to $3.87 trillion. China had a $231.1 billion annual trade surplus while the U.S. had a trade deficit of $727.9 billion, reports Bloomberg.

China’s emergence as the biggest global trading nation gives it increasing influence, threatening to disrupt regional trading blocs as it becomes the most important commercial partner for countries including Germany, which will export twice as much to China by the end of the decade as it does to neighboring France, said Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s Jim O’Neill.

“For so many countries around the world, China is becoming rapidly the most important bilateral trade partner,” O’Neill, chairman of Goldman Sachs’s asset management division and the economist who bound Brazil to Russia, India and China to form the BRIC investing strategy, said in a telephone interview. “At this kind of pace by the end of the decade many European countries will be doing more individual trade with China than with bilateral partners in Europe.”

Mali scores. Game over.

Southampton 3 Man City 1 Result.

Even the referee could not save Man City.

Controversial penalty ballooned over the cross bar.

Ibanga p: Am busy now wit d southampton vs man.city match. Contact me later 4 my comment on d dis issue.

Despite referee trying to help City, they are losing 1-3. Lol

It was getting too much. There was one I saw, she covered every part of her body except the most important place she ought to cover first, totally bare. Red carpet...

If Keshi had failed to qualify, would the blame had been shared with Siasia?

Siasia would have stuck with the likes of Taiye Taiwo, Osazee, Martins, Anichebe, Yobo, Kalu Uche, etc. They might not have been so determined and taking the risk these guys take. Somw of the old guys prefer to play safe and protect themselves from injury. Siasia is also a good coach, but lets leave share of glory out. Keshi has his pattern and it's working out well.

[quote author=Adura_ngba]Go go go to the final. Where are those who said Keshi should be sacked? Keshi must still go?[/quote]I feel you. The critics have been shut up! Mouth sealed. Muted. Hahahaha

Why do some Nigerians say negative things about Ghana? I thought they are our brothers?

The Burkinafaso team is so fast and powerful. The final will be tough. This shows our group c was a group of death.

So Ronaldinho still play football? I read about him yesterday saying if Man United had bought him from PSG when they indicated interest first before Barca, United should have been having so much European success. I thought he was only trying to be noticed, didn't know he was still playing well.

This is distraction.

maskid: PLEASE WHAT did he ''ACHIEVE''? he is rated below Figo in portugal/Madrid. and is yet to break into the best 20 madrid players of all time.

dnt forget that he only has 1 UEFA chanpions league + domestic leagues and cups in his CV.

anyway no need for argument i love the star. but if u google the best portugal,madrid and Man utd players u may be more enlighted on his professional standing.

[b]MAY I NOT BE A RONALDO IN MESSI's Generation AMEN[/b].

If you have a thousandth (one over 1000) wealth of Ronaldo's, you will consider yourself a great achiever.

What is this?

Lazy boys wanting to live big.

El Rufai was said to have apologised, why can't he stay on his apology? He is now acting proud, a man OBJ made popular.

CAN should ignore him, there is no point stressing this.

Andre Uweh: Noops, we both share the same first name. My own Uwe is actually DIKAUWE.

ok. Thanks. Have a nice night rest.

Good night.

Andre Uweh: Mike Emenalo before then had featured for the Green Eagles team led by Onigbinde in 1984 nations cup in Ivory Coast. Emenalo and his eagles team mate from Rangers-Chibuzo Ehilegbu left Nigeria to go and study in the U.S.

Just saw your profile name, are you the Andrew Uweh that played for Green Eagles?

Panter215: Keshi's game plan, turn out well. I give the game to the bench and pray they quickly get out of the celebration mood and develop a plan for Mali. Any team in a semifinals of a nations cup is no push over. We need to win our next two matches.

Correct.

Andre Uweh: Mike Emenalo before then had featured for the Green Eagles team led by Onigbinde in 1984 nations cup in Ivory Coast. Emenalo and his eagles team mate from Rangers-Chibuzo Ehilegbu left Nigeria to go and study in the U.S.

OK, I am sure you get my point. People are too impatient and are quickly to refer to 1994 Eagles. It was built over time. Lest I forget, Westerhof needed just a draw in Cameroun to win the group at the time. We lost and Nigeria kept faith. By 1994, we had only Yekini, Keshi, Okafor and Oliha surviving from the old Eagles.

Oliha and Keshi mostly played from the bench and were introduced to soak pressure when Nigeria needed to protect a lead. Uche Okafor had to be relegated to the bench when Chidi Nwanu arrived. So, I will say it was only Yekini who kept his position throughout. Keshi went to world cup with injury, so he had only a few games. Peter Rufai also returned after a long absence.

When a coach has stayed long in a team, he is able to utilise his players better because he would have known their capabilities and shortcomings. He also know players that should be waved good bye from the team.

VellyG: its funny how all those pessimist have suddenly disappeared. Now i can see alot of them here making good comment about the team. How unpatriotic can Nigerians be.

Nigerians are very unpatriotic and it irritates. Imagine fans whose EPL teams are struggling or haven't been doing well calling Eagles chickens. Two days ago, Keshi said he was very confident he would win and that he was ashamed the way Nigerians were talking badly (unpatriotic) of the team. Now he delivered and beaten one of the best teams in the world, yet people are trying to coach him that he is not doing well, that he is not playing wing football, etc. I don't get it. As far as I am concerned about this tournament, Eagles have already surpassed expectations. After the tournament, the team will be strengthened with time. Some players will fit out while new one will come and fit in. That was how Westerhof built for 5 years.

coogar: i would give keshi 6/10. he did good but he can do better.
we were too monotonous - the routes to attack ivory coast were too few. we were only hitting hit/miss long balls and ivory coast dealt with those threats comfortably. seriously, what happened to our expansive wing play of yore?

keshi was part of the 94 team - he knew how deadly amuneke and finidi were on the flanks. we used to have elahor, tijani babangida, pius ikedia, etc. there has been no brilliant wing play from us this tournament! the wing backs don't overlap to create options for our wingers and on another day, we could have drawn n settled for a shoot-out!

i wouldn't quite agree keshi's tactics worked - ivory coast were just too poor by their high standards. the winner was just a brilliant piece of individual play, nothing to do with tactics or system. if mba had lost the ball with his mazy run, we could have conceded a goal easily cos he left a big gap at the back which was quite risky.

Why must we complain even when we are blessed or have succeeded? It took Westerhof 4 years to get Amuneke and Finidi to play the kind of football they played between 1993 and 1994. Westerhof came to Nigeria in 1989 and met the Eagles led by Henry Nwosu. We had Etim Esin and co. Westerhof could not get a much needed draw against Cameroun at away to top the group in the world cup qualifying match at away. Nigeria went out. Then the next year, he took his Eagles to Algiers '90 nation's cup, he finished second even though he had lost his first match 1-5 to Algeria. Between 1990 and 1993, he brought Uche Okechukwu, Ben Iroha, Finidi George, Amuneke, Mutiu Adepoju, Dan Amokachie, and some others. By 1993, the likes of Etim Esin, Andrew Uwe, Yisa Sofoluwe, Richard Owubokiri, etc, were no longer needed. Before nation cup '94 Sunday Oliseh was discovered, also is Mike Emenalo. Nigeria won the nations cup, then Chidi Nwanu was included in the defence for the world cup. Also just few days to the world cup, Nduka Ugbade was considered not good enough to make the 23 man team, I think Victor Ikpeba was included in the last minute.

We should give praise to Keshi, he is building very well. He hasn't even lost a match, home away or neutral ground. I dont know when last Nigeria played qualifying series and not lost at away. I rate Keshi 9.5/10

elampiro: Where are all the critics? Where are Nigerians calling Eagles chickens? Where are the people who called for Keshi's sack. Where are the impatient Nigerians and doubting Thomases? Where are those who said Dike, Osazee, Kalu and Martins should have done better? Keshi go ahead and rebuild a new powerful Super Eagles.

Where is Ebuoe, the Ivory Coast defender who said they will roast Eagles like chickens? He must be crying now.

Eboue has just apologised to Nigerians on twitter:

King Emmanuel Eboue @TheRealEboue
I apologies to all Nigerians that might find my tweets offensive or sensitive. It's meant to be jokes and funny. I am sorry. #moveOn
