Beaf , you are sure an illiterate, the UK is not supporting Jonathan, Dont get people into trouble.

Nigerian are the one who will determine if they want Jonathan. And not the international community. This is how democracy works.

@ vislabraye: abeg don't ever say that kinda stuff in public, i.e that Rafa's beta than Mo. Ha !
Contemporary football is a results business and trust me, Mo's results greatly overshadow Rafa's.
Reminds me of Carletto yesterday at S.Bridge - he looked totally clueless, like he was searching the sidelines for R.Wilkins.

The Federal Government has condemned in strong terms the use of “Naija” in place of Nigeria, saying that such usage is “very uncharitable and unpatriotic”.

Minister of Information and Communication, Prof. Dora Akunyili, made the remarks while receiving the participants of Heir Apparent Reality Show in her office in Abuja yesterday.

Akunyili, who frowned on the continuous misrepresentation of the country's official name in place of a “corrupt” version, said: "It is very offensive to call Nigeria ‘Naija’. We are making plans to write companies to stop using the word Naija. I have heard that name Naija in adverts. I want them to go back and remove that word.

"If anybody says this is Naija, ask the person, 'Where is Naija?' We have to stop this word because it is catching up with the young. If we don't put a stop to its usage now, it will continue to project us wrongly.”

The minister's condemnation was prompted by a sentence in the presentation of the visiting group where “our world is Naija” was inserted.

Akunyili, who fervently spoke against the use of the word, ordered that the sentence be removed from the programme and changed to “our world is Nigeria”.

“Naija” is obviously a Nigerianised form of Niger, from where Nigeria derived its name.

The word is popularly used by musicians, artistes, advert managers and corporate companies and it could be positive or negative, although it is being used more positively in recent times.

It is believed to be trendier and is used by the younger generation.

Though no official condemnation of the word has been made, several reports have warned of the consequence of the usage of such words among the youths.

^^^ Higuain has just scored the easiest goal in his life 1-0 Real Madrid leads.

A cross by Sergio Ramos was headed at goal by Benzema but the keeper placed it at the feet of Higuain for an easy tap-in

Folks have a right to react all they want. . . except it has to be within the boundaries of common sense. The true fans dig deep and look for the core reasons we are not performing. The find and analyse these reasons. . Self inflicted or unavoidable?

When they then come to a conclusion, they use the result as a yardstick for judging the outcome of other games. . So when we don't perform well, they don't go over board calling for the heads of all and sundry. That's the way it should be . . Not reacting for the sake of it.


The Chelsea thread is the only thread that never has enough people to say "We lost . . So bloody what"? . .

The next lines you see are . . This player is crap, that player is crap. The manager should be fired  blah blah.
It's a bloody game of football, and we deserve to lose many times. . . sometimes we will lose without the faintest of desires to win. . So damn what? We will bounce back and probably still win the title? So what's the fuss about?
