Thats a lOVELY song


Aye reti eleya mii ah, good lyrics too


I love it……its playing like forever on my pc!!!

Benz E-Class - Ojuolape

Volkswagen Beetle - Yeri "n" Beto

Cart like Lorry - Bolekaja

Rose: Do you love him, Loretta?
Loretta Castorini: Aw, ma, I love him awful.
Rose: Oh, God, that's too bad.


Ronny Cammareri: You're gonna marry my brother? Why you wanna sell your life short? Playing it safe is just about the most dangerous thing a woman like you could do. You waited for the right man the first time, why didn't you wait for the right man again?
Loretta Castorini: He didn't come!
Ronny Cammareri: I'm here!
Loretta Castorini: You're late!


Ronny Cammareri: Loretta, I love you. Not like they told you love is, and I didn't know this either, but love don't make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. The snowflakes are perfect. The stars are perfect. Not us. Not us! We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and love the wrong people and *die*. The storybooks are *bullshit*. Now I want you to come upstairs with me and *get* in my bed!


Rose: Why do men chase women?
Johnny: Well, there's a Bible story, God, God took a rib from Adam and made Eve. Now maybe men chase women to get the rib back. When God took the rib, he left a big hole there, where there used to be something. And the women have that. Now maybe, just maybe, a man isn't complete as a man without a woman.
Rose: [frustrated] But why would a man need more than one woman?
Johnny: I don't know. Maybe because he fears death.
[Rose looks up, eyes wide, suspicions confirmed]
Rose: That's it! That's the reason!
Johnny: I don't know,
Rose: No! That's it! Thank you! Thank you for answering my question!



Ronny Cammareri: I love you.
Loretta Castorini: [slaps him twice] Snap out of it!



MOONSTRUCK (1987)

Wenger deserves these results.

Sticking with Gallas as captain when the world and his dog knew we needed a new centerback

Being arrogant enough to think that he can get by on Song and Denilson instead of getting an experienced midfielder

Being arrogant enough to think that he can transform Eboue into a winger instead of getting one

If anyone is wondering why our players are arrogant and are not committed, just look at the man calling the shots

Nice One, 9ice, Gongo Ti So!!!

LOL @'mike tyson' hair cut

Actress Ini Edo denies drug rumour. Says ''its a blatant lie''
ACTRESS INI EDO RESPONDS TO DRUG ALLEGATIONS
''someone is out to tarnish my reputation''!

controversial actress iniobong edo is once again in the news and this time its for something far more shocking, a recent publication (not encomium)published
a story of how the actress was aprrehended for drugs and is currently cooling her heels
in police custody.
this report which the actress affirms is a work of her detracters is the hottest talk in town.we contacted the actress who at the time of this interview was in far away asaba on a movie set and she granted us a little time from her busy schedule whilst lamenting that the publication has caused her nothing but sleepless nights.hear her''this
is the worst thing anyone can ever come up with,it is plain wicked and i know that there is a God up there who will fight my battles for me,hes not
sleeping.how in the world can anyone assocaite my name with drugs is what i cannot even comprehend'', the actress whos voice was laced with pain lamented
further and we decided to make this a formal interview by asking her questions which she responded to before returning to continue with the movie she was on
location for.
theres always two sides to every story, here is hers!


1, In a recent publication,it was alleged you were apprehended by NDLEA operatives for being in posession of drugs,can you please
give us the scenario of exactly what happened?
, There is no iota of truth in the story. I don’t know where the story emanated from but for the record, I have never been involved with drugs.I make a
very comfortable income from my job and I am satisfied with it so why would I take such a risk being fully aware of the repercussions?

2, Do you think this is a work of your ''detractors' or you actually did something at the airport which resulted into this news
making the rounds?
, Of course it’s pretty obvious someone has plenty of time on their hands and would stop at nothing in tarnishing my reputation. This rumor was yet another
attempt.

3. What was your mission to the UK? how long was the trip? What day did you return?, I was there on Vacation. I spent about a week and I’ve been back since monday april 14,2008

4, what have you been up to since you returned?


, Work. I had to report to location in Asaba the following day tuesday april 15,2008 and I’m still here as we are conducting this interview.

5, so you are categorically telling everyone now that you were not arrested for drugs either in the UK or in lagos?
, The story was a blatant lie. You can go ahead and contact the NDLEA yourself to confirm. It’s a very simple matter

6, okay lets move on from that one.lets address the issue of your love life if i may use that word. a recent publication also alleges that your lover pracically 'ran' back to the US because of the heat his estranged wife is causing him in lagos,is this true?

, no comment on that please.

7, we hear you are receiving threats to your life, you want to confirm this?

Yes it’s true. I’ve received all sorts and I don’t understand why anyone would want to get rid of me. Those around me will tell you that I’m not a confrontational person; I try to be very cordial with people and to the best of my knowledge, I have not offended anyone .

8.ini,you have a very negative image, does this affect you in your personal life?

, I’ve realized that I can’t stop the Press from putting out fabricated stories about me. I have every reason to believe that this is a gang up.At the end of the day, even though they succeed in creating a negative image of me to the public, I walk around with my shoulders held high because I have a clear
conscience.

9. how do you hope to rid yourself of this negative image, obviously your stunt in trying to be charitable didn’t help you at all.
When the ban was imposed on me, I decided to take advantage of the spare time to catch up on some of the personal things I had to do. The visit to the
Charity home was one of them. Due to the controversies surrounding the Ban, the last thing I wanted was Media attention. It was a private visit and was meant
to be kept under wraps … somehow it was leaked to the Media and I ended up being criticized for using it as a publicity stunt to attract sympathy.

10, you live in nigeria and you are managed by one joy onyeukwu who lives in america,isnt this kind of PR expensive?
, I agree it’s expensive but it was an important career decision I had to make. The Entertainment industry here could be very challenging. I needed someone
experienced with a genuine interest in me and one I could rely on for career guidance.

11, what reactions do your parents have to the negative press trailing you?

, I thank God for the kind of parents I have…. From day one, they have been very supportive of my career. No one knows me as well as they do so when they read these sort of rumors; they are not bothered because they know the truth.

12, why is your website www.iniedo.tv another venue through which your fans can get to you no longer available on the internet?
, We had some issues that needed to be addressed. It should be back online within the next month or so…but in the meantime, my fans on Myspace could reach me through my official page - MySpace.com - Ini Edo

13, you are on Facebook are you the person managing the ID or is someone else doing it for you?
, (Laughs) It’s really me…. I haven’t had time to log on for a while but as soon as I have some free time, I will.
14, if you were to address your fans via here, what impression about yourself would you like to correct?
It’s important they know that I am not what the Media portrays me to be. I am a human being and I am bound to make mistakes but most of the negative stories they’ve read about me are untrue. I worked really hard to get this far in the industry and I will not associate myself with anything that would put my career in jeopardy.

Yinka Craig: Hope for a friend


This, for me, is not an easy column to write and one
I have struggled to keep myself from writing for about
a year now. Yes, a whole year, even longer, is how
long my friend, that Nigerian ace broadcaster and
personable humorist, Yinka Craig, has been battling to
stay alive – fighting not to give the dreaded C the
last laugh over his self.


I’ve kept off writing about Yinka’s affliction and his
struggle partly because he may frown at making public
his private fight, and partly because I kept hoping
that the frustrating on-and-off manner of the illness
would have been overcome for good by now. It has not
been so and Yinka’s need for help appears even more
desperate now than ever!


Yinka Craig has spent the better part of his 60 years
of life in radio and television broadcasting, running
oft-innovative programmes – from sports to weekend
newsline, to morning magazine programmes – and warming
our hearts with his inimitable style of presentation,
genteel humour and a characteristic toothy smile. His
40 years in broadcasting, from the days of the old
WNBS, is almost as old as the history of broadcasting
in independent Nigeria, and certainly synonymous with
it.


I am not familiar with the equivalent of Yinka Craig
in American television, but in England you would be
thinking of a cross between that grand old embodiment
of British humour and conviviality, Bruce Forsythe,
and Michael Parkinson! They don’t make them like these
any more.


Respected and invited by leaders of government,
industry, monarchs, and topmost foreign diplomats to
their private and official functions, many simply
proud to flaunt their association with him.
Not for nothing. Yinka is a man of many parts,
multi-talented, quick-witted, and incredibly
knowledgeable about most things, from astronomy and
space-technology to computer science, from sports to
politics, from entertainment to oil exploration! A
master of rib-cracking anecdotes, Yinka Craig is an
entertainer extraordinaire and instrumentalist, at
ease playing the guitar as he is on the piano or the
sax. He is also an addict of the game of intellect; he
could spend all day behind his desk navigating the
seas or the sky on his high-tech simulation toy, or
routinely demolishing books and books of hard cryptic
crossword or logic-challenging sudoku!


It was one morning, some 18 or so months ago, when I
got a call from Kenny (Yinka’s wife, Dr. Kehinde
Craig) informing me that Yinka was in an hospital bed,
a top private hospital on Victoria Island, Lagos. He
had been there for almost a month, but I was not in
the country and my calls to him had eerily not been
answered or returned.


I rushed to the clinic and found my friend, hitherto
of irrepressible enthusiasm and cheer, in a limp and
emaciated form. He struggled to put up a smile for me,
a smile of “see what I’m reduced to”. I couldn’t
believe my eyes. What ails you, Yinka? My mind raced
through all sorts of possibilities and I kept shooting
them at him and his wife. Nope, nope, nope, came the
answer to my impatient flurry of questions.
Cancer! Lymphoma!! Late diagnosed, as the doctors and
everyone had been testing for everything I’d touched
upon, leaving the real thing. I was shown digital
pictures of the various stages the damn thing had
manifested itself on Yinka over the many weeks he’d
been unwell. Terrible pictures, of paleness and
disfigurement. So, actually, what I was seeing was a
back-to-life Yinka, I was told.


Lymphoma? What’s that? I quickly went on the Internet
to find out more about it. What I read, mostly from
“lymphoma-net. org” website, gave me some hope as I
discovered that there is a good chance of survival for
many years, if treated promptly and adequately.
It describes lymphoma as “cancers of the lymphatic
system” and the lymphatic system as a network of
tubes, glands and organs that is part of the body's
defense against infection – the immune system.
There are different types of lymphoma. Some lymphomas
are called Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), formerly known as
“Hodgkin’s disease”, while others are Non-Hodgkin
lymphomas (NHL). Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are more
problematic and that’s what Yinka is diagnosed as
having. It is more common in those aged over 60,
although it can occur at any age. It affects slightly
more men than women.


“As in many cancers, lymphoma is most likely to be
cured if it is diagnosed early and treated promptly.”
That, precisely, is the trouble. Yinka’s lymphoma was
diagnosed late, no thanks to the poor state of our
medical facilities that meant the specimen for
everything being tested for had to be flown outside
Nigeria, this time to South Africa! What a shame.
Cut a long story short, Yinka had to be flown out to
the UK a few days after I saw him. And that is the
beginning of the story. Millions of naira has gone
down to give him some of the best treatment possible
in the UK. Yinka has been back twice to Nigeria, each
time as it appears the demon had been wrested, or
resources had run out, or both, only for the damn
thing to rear its ugly head again! It’s called
“remission” and “recurrence”, a syndrome apparently of
common occurrence in Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.


Four days ago, the day after I arrived Nigeria again
this time, Kenny called intimating me of developments.
An aggressive relapse had occurred and Yinka had been
back to the private hospital in Victoria Island (V.I)
where he started a year and a half ago. That was two
weeks ago. “We have to leave for Abuja now,” Kenny
said in a low, sad, tone. “The doctors here believe he
needs to be taken to a hospital with an Intensive Care
unit. So we’re going to try the National Hospital,
Abuja. If you have to see him before we leave then
you’d better come now.”


I hurried down to V.I where I found my friend looking
awful. He couldn’t even manage that self-deprecating
smile anymore. I think he was getting tired and pissed
off with the whole thing. The battle is getting too
long drawn and the fighter is weary. He rolled over on
one side, to look into my eyes.
I tried to avoid his weak eyes and gave him our
traditional call, “baba mi.” I heard him mutter the
response, “we(y) ti mo baba re,” and rolled back away.
The rest of it he left unsaid, “o to goloto goloto bi
ye e, we(y) mo baba re!” Well, it’s good enough he
responded at all anyway.


I’m now told Yinka urgently needs to go back abroad,
this time preferably to the States where he would have
to undergo a transplant treatment. The process may
take up to two months hospitalization and the overall
cost would come to about $300,000 (US dollars). I did
a quick calculation, that’s about N38 million. Not
bad, I thought, then I remembered the kind of country
we live in and held back my optimism.


The Craigs have expended virtually all their resources
on the illness so far. Yinka’s pride wouldn’t let him
make his situation public. He knows all the big men in
the country, and I mean that literally, and most of
them on first name basis and with their private
numbers. And they all know him. Very few have come to
his aid so far. The real big ones for whom this sort
of money he’s looking for means nothing have been all
promises and promises. And Yinka would not call them
again. I understand. It’s not ego, but decency. Why
would he have to go begging and crawling to people who
would before not have a party without including him on
their guest list, now need for him to demean himself
before they would keep their promise to help?


What’s even a million dollars to save a man like Yinka
Craig, a national asset if there was one, and daily we
hear of billions of naira, nay, dollars, being
cornered here, there, and everywhere? It’s a national
call, Nigeria must not let Yinka die without giving
him the best chance to survive.


While at it, I must mention one particular giver who
surprised us all at the very first time Yinka had to
go abroad. The surprise was that this was someone who
did not count amongst Yinka’s personal friends but
merely know him from the distance just as most
Nigerians do. Somehow it got to his ears that Yinka
needed to go abroad for treatment and he called him
and asked for him to send someone down in the morning.
Yinka did and was N5 million up. To be honest, we were
expecting no more than N500,000. Thanks, Dr. Erastus
Akingbola, CEO of Intercontinental Bank Plc. Of
course, there have been a few others chipping in
little sums here and there that helped to get him so
far.


A little on the transplant treatment, again, I went on
the Internet to find out:
“Transplantation may be used in patients whose
non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma has relapsed as an aggressive
form of the disease or in patients with aggressive
non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma that does not respond to
ordinary chemotherapy. The transplant can be from
another person or, more often, from the patient
themselves, with the cells needed for the transplant
collected before the high-dose chemotherapy.”


The irrepressible TV presenter and producer in Yinka
is undaunted by it all. He tells me he will survive
this, no matter what. Indeed, his mind is already
working on another baby, a new TV program that he says
will break the box. This poor turn of his health is a
mere “irritant” that will go away, he says. He can’t
wait to get started again.
Yinka needs to go for the transplant in the States
immediately. Those with a large heart may call Yinka’s
wife, Dr. Kehinde Craig on 08030780129 or 08058466857.
You may also email: yinkacraig@gmail. com.


Yinka may not be President Yar’Adua who can be flown
to Germany for regular medical attention, but he has
lived his life bringing us exciting television
programmes and giving us all hearty laugh. Some silly
lymphoma is threatening to rid us of that laugh.
Nigeria and Nigerians must deny it that pleasure.





How very sad and touching, indeed these are trying times for the entire Craig family
I pray that the Almighty God grant him the strength to fight and overcome this deadly disease

Essien is suspended, such a massive game too!!!!!!!

I hope and pray that he wins this battle!

@ Funkybaby u are right, they are more of a budget airline!

I flew with Iberia to Nigeria - March 2008 (mun-mad-los)

The plane used from munich to madrid was ok and the flight was comfortable , arrived on time too

No meal was served instead u had to buy food and drinks because its a short haul flight (2hours)

The layover time is a bit too long in my own opinion - 5 hours

The plane used for the madrid to lagos stretch isnt meant for such long trips, no inflight entertainment and the leg space is nothing to write home
about, infact most of the men complained because the seats were too cramped

I had heard prior to this time about Iberia luggage handling horror stories but i got all my baggage safely and intact on both legs of my journey

As someone mentioned earlier the price is quite affordable and cheap

All in all i would rate them as a 3 star airline because there is definitely room for improvement!

Love doesnt ask why - Celine Dion


Love doesn't ask why
Speaks from the heart
Never explains
Don't you know that love
Doesn't think twice
It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance

Don't ask me if this feelings
Right or wrong
It doesn't have to make much sense
It just has to be this strong
Cause when your in my arms
I understand

It don't have a voice
When a heart makes it choices
There's no plan
It's not in our hands

Love doesn't ask why
It speaks from the heart
It never explains

Don't you know that love
Doesn't think twice
It comes all at once
Or whispers from a distance

Now if you feel
What your afraid to say
If you give your soul to me
Will you give to much away

But we can't let this
Moment pass us by
Can't question this chance
Or expect any answers
We can try, baby we can try

Love doesn't ask why
It speaks from the heart
and never explains
Don't you know that love
Doesn't think twice

It can come all at once
Or whisper from a distance
So take what we found

And wrap it around us
Love doesn't ask you why
It speaks from the heart
Don't you know, don't you know
That love

Baby
Love, it doesn't
Ask you why if it comes from
the heart doesn't
Ask you why it never explains
Don't you know that love, love, love

Doesn't think twice
It comes all at once
Or whispers from a distance
Love comes, it doesn't ask you why
Love doesnt ask you why
