Oh no,someone's kidnapped the real Djorou who displayed solid defensive capabilities some part of last season and replaced him with a spastic lemming.

My gut feeling tells me Ibimess and his Niger-Delta brothers have a hand in it.

Damn,dude's so bad i think he should be sent to Adam's Azerbaijan team.Maybe,just maybe he will find a bit of form.
Djourou shouldn't be allowed anywhere near emirates stadium.

3 players were outstanding in this match. Chamberlain, Coquelin and Benayoun in that order. OX definitely has it in him to become a crowd favorite, showed every aspect of his game, that guy has some unbelievable acceleration but can pick passes as well. Coquelin showed a strong engine, he can definitely be more than just an holding MF and Benayoun was full of endeavour up till the last whistle.
Real talk ! cool From this moment we should stop comparing OX to Theo, nuff said!
I also think Ox and CoQ are making a strong challenge for a chance at 1st team.

I did not elect Reuters. I do not care how careful Reuters is. I expect the highest level of service from a government that gets paid to serve me.

If Reuters got their quote wrong, they answer to their editors and those with responsibility over them.

When The Nigerian Government gets it wrong, they answer to Nigerians. On this one, they apparently failed to wash their teeth before showing it to the camera. Their due diligence was all wrong. I reserve the right to be "hysterical" about that.

tru tak, i see no reason why Arsene shud stick with these two. they shud come of the bench and thats a maybe.
Ramsey particularly did not make one single attacking move, long pass or run at the opposition, just a bunch of sideway
passes and over-elaborate plays, the quality simple isnt there.

Thanks @lastpage, I was just about complaining that the link from abes wasn't the correct one.

As long as he never plays the DM role he'll be fine, his off the ball work rate is quite poor relative to PL standards but the boy can string passes together anyhow when he is in his element. In a team with good movement around him, Ramsey is a great asset.
great asset? thats a far stretch boss! he needs to start contributing more than just passes to this team if he wants to start especially for someone who touches the ball quite often.

FoodRe: Nigerian Girls And Their Crave For Junk Meals by Gekko(m): 8:06pm On Jun 22, 2011
unfair to dump this on Nigerian girls. it will be sad if our society in general embrace fast food uninformed of its drawbacks.
Many of you that have traveled especially the US are aware of the threats. There are fat people everywhere you turn, if i fling
a stone outside my window i am bound to hit a fat person.

Simply put the trade off for fast food is obesity, cardiovascular diseases etc Do you really want to trade a homemade dish of efo
laced with veges and proteins with junk food prepared in a factory like environment preserved with chemicals and dyes.

I once dated a vegetarian once and even though i still eat meat my eating habits forever changed since i met her. We must be disciplined and
earn the the privilege to indulge in junk food.

On the BRT .

Sorry, but how much was spent on this project?  And still begin spent in maintenance n payment of salary on a loss making service ?
Was the service needed ? Absolutely .
Did the state government paying for it a nice move? Absolutely Not. It clearly show hind-sightedness.

How about, if Fashola had instead, sold out four to five licences to different companies to service those n other unserviced route in Lagos .
Imagine how much money Lagos cud hv made from it?
Imagine how much gov cud hv saved from wat it currently spends on maintenance n payment of salaries with provision of pension plan for her employees.

Gov, cud have only being at the side running inspections n i
ensuring good service. N cud hv plough the money wasted on those buses into road repairs, marking, lighting, traffic lighting, pedestrian walkway n bridge.

Jonathan cuts National Assembly budget
By Ini Ekott and Emmanuel Ogala
May 25, 2011 03:58AM
print  emai

The National Assembly yesterday reversed its decision on the 2011 budget - criticised by the executive as high - and began considering amendments that will reduce total national budget by N600 billion and cut lawmakers’ allocation by more than 50 per cent.

The House of Representatives approved two swift readings on Tuesday while the Senate took one reading of a review sent by President Goodluck Jonathan the same day, proposing that federal spending be reduced from initially passed N4.97 trillion to N4.41 trillion.

If the final readings, expected today from chambers are given, the bulk of the budget slash will come from the National Assembly allocation, which the lawmakers arbitrarily moved during earlier appropriation from N112.24 billion to N232.74 billion - more than 100 per cent raise.

The sharp increment drew criticisms and the executive warned that the total budget, with about N1.9 trillion deficit, was not sustainable and needed a review.

In the proposed reduction, the National Assembly budget was reduced to N120 billion, a little above the original figure submitted by Mr Jonathan in November 2010.

Mr Jonathan’s amendment now comes as the legislature winds down its session, amid unresolved financial crisis rocking the House of Representatives over unpaid allowances and corruption charges against its leadership.

As of Tuesday, lawmakers speaking unofficially confirmed the House had not still sourced much-needed funds to clear members’ allowances owed after the released money was confiscated by a bank in lieu of unauthorised loan allegedly taken by the Speaker, Dimeji Bankole.

The loan, which makes it hard for the leadership of the House to pay the entitlements of members, is at the heart of restiveness among the lawmakers, some of whom have launched efforts to sanction Mr Bankole. The other leaders of the House have, however, rallied around the Speaker.

Eseme Oyibo, the spokesperson of the House, said this was done to ensure that the session ends without rancour.

With no bank willing to grant fresh loans, according to sources, one of the options remained for the House to speedily facilitate a compromise on the budget, from where the backlog could be cleared from subheads that received rolled-in allocation.

Final approval

Though obviously affected by the large reduction, the House read Mr Jonathan’s amendment twice on Tuesday and is expected to give a final approval today. The Senate took only the first reading, but is also expected to pass the amendment today for presidential assent before May 29.

“We will consider this tomorrow, 10am, after the committees looked into them,” Mr Bankole said after the second reading of the bill.

The new budget is expected to help deal with an overhanging deficit by trimming a perennially overbloated overhead and running cost. The oil benchmark, increased by the lawmakers from $65 per barrel to $75, is also to be reversed.

At several fora after the first budget was passed, the minister of finance, Olusegun Aganga, has warned that increasing the benchmark from $65 could hurt the economy should the oil price fall in the year, since the excess crude oil account was almost completely depleted.

In the new amendments, big budgetary heads like defence, police formation and commands, and the presidency, are to be reviewed downward, although with low margins compared to the National Assembly. Education received a reduction too from N311 billion to N304 billion.
