My colleagues say Singapore is really cool but they are not Africans so I wouldn't know exactly what they mean by "cool".
They also say it is a very simple place to live.

Search google for forums on Singapore!

Hope this helps.

This SA thing? hmmm. . .why do I feel like I'm having a change of heart eh?

Why can't our public school be good like in the 70's and 80's or maybe even early 90s?
They were as good as cheap/FREE and the quality of education was HIGH then.
I remember them days of Ghanaian teachers. . .FGCs (now called Unity Schools).
What happened to all of them. . .?

Now I hear that, schools are normally closed any time Nigeria is playing football? Teachers going on strike? I mean wtf?

Private schools, I understand are very expensive!

snowdrops:
Exactly the dilemma i find myself in.
The concern is you want your children to imbibe your traditions, cultuure and way of life by undergoing all or part of their education in Nigeria.
Children born and bred and educated overseas, then going on to work there, get married and have children, hmmm.
This is a massive generational change i guess. Its the "price to be paid" for being an akatarian.

In fact that is my main concern.
However, I think the most "important" is the secondary school education. At this stage, children already know "whats up"! If you understand what I mean.

Either way you look at it. . .DD is currently the KING of AFRICAN FOOTBALL according to CAF!
Take it or leave it.   

Thank You O Lord for strengthening me!
Thank You Dear Father For Your Love and Kindness shown to me and my family.

DD - The King of African Football!

Fhemmmy:
The world is now calling on the govt to make sure the culprits are brought to book, and i hope they will not go and pick some homeless on the street and pretend they are the bad guys . . . cos anything si possible with Nigerian govt all in the names of making themselves look good

I pray they don't do this. . .because if they do, then there will be no difference between them and the barbarians who chose to kill innocent children in the name of religion.
I think I'm going to cry. Children!! Why kill them?

REWRITING THE RECORD BOOKS

Chelsea Football Club is 105 years old today and to mark Founders' Day, the Official Chelsea Website is publishing the results of extensive research that correct statistical records for players from the first half-century of the club's existence.

STATS!

I read in Herald Tribune that a 4 -day old baby clad in diapers was killed!!!!

These people are barbarians!!! Damn it.
The police should at least be able to arrest one of the culprits and he should be made to face the firing squad.

WTF!!!!

^^^ I laugh in Kolanut.  Young?
You are rejoicing in beating Porto?  A team that is totally out of form? 

Our match is next week. 

Azeeza! hehehe. . .did you say young?

A very good start. Lets pray things go well and as planned and not just as "usual".

It's beyond belief why the mention of a name. . .any name should result into killing of innocent people!!

Alfa Sule, Angel Fatai. . .so damn what? What is the big deal?

Thank You Jesus, Thank You My Lord
Whatever I have now and in the future, it is PURELY by YOUR GRACE!!!

2010: Can you afford to watch a match?

As the clock ticks towards kick-off, soccer fans in many parts of Africa who hailed the 2010 World Cup as FIFA’s gift to the continent may be wondering if they did not count their chickens too early. The reason: The competition may not be the pan-African mobiliser that it was meant to be. And this may not have much to do with lingering worries about possible xenophobic attacks or fears about crime.

It could be mainly a matter of cash. Although ticket prices are already at record low levels –– some say the lowest in recent World Cup history –– fans in many parts of the continent can hardly afford it. In Nigeria, for example, where 70 per cent of the population live on the equivalent of less than a dollar a day, the highest gate fee for a local premier league match is less than two dollars. At FIFA’s current group stage gate fee of $160, it would cost the Nigerian fan three times the country’s minimum wage to see a group stage match involving the country’s national team in the World Cup. Why should a fan pay so much to go to the stadium when he can pay less than a dollar to watch the match on cable TV in a viewing parlour at a street corner?

To make matters worse, fan mood in five of the six African countries that qualified for the competition –– Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Cameroun, Algeria and South Africa –– is anything but optimistic. The performance of the Nigerian Super Eagles at the Nation’s Cup was miserable, with many of the big names failing to live up to expectations. The coach has lost his job. After a long spell of hair-splitting, the country only managed to find a new coach –– the Swedish former national coach, Lars Lagerback –– last week. Ghana was a better side, but largely amateurish. Ivory Coast and Cameroun were a shadow of themselves, leaving only Algeria with an above- average performance. Bafana Bafana was not in Angola but it is a measure of fan mood that South African fans have bought more tickets to watch England than they have to watch Bafana Bafana.

But the gate fee is not all that fans have to worry about. Travel costs can be quite high because of limited options and complicated immigration procedures. A round-trip flight from Lagos to Johannesburg, minus personal expenses, could cost as much as $1,500. Independent tourism companies in Lagos are selling packaged tours to Nigeria’s first three games for between $4,000 and $8,500. This is the equivalent of the six-year salary of a civil servant at the current minimum wage; or the two-year salary of those in the supervisory grade in the service.

A Lagos-based company, Zeep Travel Network, which is advertising the Nigeria-Argentina group match as its prime offering, says it is hoping to take 5,000 fans to South Africa for the game. As at two weeks ago, it had only been able to get fewer than 400 fans to sign up. “At first, I thought I would be able to make it to South Africa ,” said Taiwo Folorunsho, a Lagos-based trader. “But business is bad, and I’m not even sure the Super Eagles will make it beyond the group stages. Why should I put all that money on the line, even if I could afford it?”

[quote author=matiltom_d link=topic=409951.msg5656526#msg5656526 date=1268135824]I've seen the movie in question "Alfa Sule" and to be candid, there's no need to kill a fowl over it, let alone human beings. I think it's high time Islamic leaders in Nigeria behaved like true religious leaders.[/quote]One can only assume that they "saw" the movie in a different way.
Either way, it is time The FG do something.
They shouldn't allow anyone turn Nigeria into Iraq for goodness sake.

tkb417:
are they going to import the almajiris to Oyo state?
or the locals are the ones that will burn the churches?

hehehehe,

suicide

But no one thought Jos was going to be like this?
But how did this all start in the first place?

Protect us Oh LORD!!!
That guy who made that statement should be arrested if indeed it is true.

tkb417:
@Topic
i dont see how a religious war can even start in Oyo state

Those that will be interested in fighting such wars will not be up to 1,000 and i forsee the Police or soldiers killing all of them within 2 hours
The foolish man that made that threat should be hanged.

burn churches in Oyo state? hehehehehehe
it will be easier for arisekola to be the President of USA than for moslems to start killing xtians in Oyo

it must surely mean the anti christ himself will lead the onslaught. It cannot happen.

Even though I tend to agree with you, but damn it, these people are just very crazy.
I mean, they are very mad.

^^^ Arsenal fans sha!!!

Amen to that.

Opabunmi eyes top flight return

Former Nigeria international Femi Opabunmi says he is working his way back to football after eye surgery which has kept him out of the game for about two years.

Opabunmi told KickOffNigeria.com that he was on the verge of going blind in 2007 and had to go for emergency eye surgery.

"I had been having problems seeing, even when I was on the field. When it got very serious, I went to see a doctor and they told me that if I did not go for an operation, I would be totally blind in 10 days.
"So I went in for the operation in Paris, and I have been out of football since then," he said.

Opabunmi, who is now looking slightly squint-eyed, says the surgery cost a lot of money but is grateful to two of his Nigeria colleagues for their assistance.

"It was a very expensive operation, and it cost me a lot of money, but Osaze Odemwingie and Seyi Olofinjana were the two people who assisted me with the expenses."

Despite the long absence from football, Opabunmi insists he is far from finished and says he is now looking forward to getting back into top flight football.

"I am now training with 3SC, and I hope that by the time the transfer window opens, after the World Cup, I can return to Europe and join a good club."

Opabunmi, now 25, was the star of the Nigerian Under-17 team which won silver in 2001, winning both the silver shoes, as second highest goalscorer, and the bronze ball, for third best player in the tourney.

A year later, he was selected Adegboyega Onigbinde for the World Cup and became the youngest Nigerian player and the third youngest ever at 17 to play at the World Cup when he took to the pitch against England.

He subsequently joined Grasshoppers Zurich but spent an injury-blighted four years before moving to France with Chamois Niortais and then dropping off the radar.

Fifa rule out goal-line technology

Football's rule-makers have shut the door on goal-line technology and effectively ended any chance of video replays coming into the game.
