Mr Dyabman,

I don't start name calling but i am a master at it when the occasion warrants, please mind your speech because i felt u were a bit learned but u just acted otherwise. I expressed my opinion counter and never use the word idiot, else u would regret ever saying that to me again

How did u come to that conclusion??
Dyabman is not learned AT all.

loyika:
FINALLY!! Whats wrong with this Muppet

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/article4768809.ece

Is he already conceeding defeat away to the Russians

BLOODY SCOTTISH PILLOCK!! As if the Scum don't get away with murder

I have belatedly come to the conclusion that u are a semi-illiterate.
How does fighting for justice equates to conceding defeat to the Russians??
Mr. Loyika, u need some soul searching!!!

[color=#cc0066]Just wondering, are sisters and brothers of a player usually aware that their sibling is breaking hearts? Imagine if your 22 year old brother who is reasonably good looking has never mentioned a girlfriend, yet he parties a lot, drinks and smokes?[/color]

A player is LESS GUILTY than the chic that got played in ma opinion.

He is the shittiest midfielder in England as we speak but he gets to wear the 3 LIONS shirt cos he plays for Chelsea.

debosky:
Wenger said something insightful - if there are 20 billionaires, someone will still get relegated and only one person will win the championship

I do not think we need foreign owners, sooner or later this trend will end up failing. There are examples of failure already or near failure.

Ade? They should come and pay 80m and Arsene will sell - we will use their money to completely transform the club.

Letz see how it goes.
Should Man City/Aston Villa knock Arsenal off their perch, you would be forced to change ur view on this.
It's no rocket science, billionaires make the game cheesy for managers but then Arsene would be sacked.
There's so much irregularity in that club. . . . . .There are funds to be spent and Arsene wouldn't??

If u get at em, u should beat em convincingly.
Man Utd scored 4 goals there last season without breaking sweats at all. . . .
Y'all should be happy Arsenal is going there in september. . . . .If it was November or December, y'all asses wlda been frozen toast.

debosky:
well said Oga V, all the people asking for foreign money to compete for Arsenal do not want to look at reality - the way these erstwhile stable companies have crashed is a point of caution.
Ade was misguided in my opinion, greedy agents turned his head. That aside, I have personally forgiven him - now he needs to perform on the pitch.

Ade was misguided or Barca didn't react in time to prise him away??
You are lucky it wasn't MAN CITY pricing Ade. . . . . .The Togolese woulda jumped at Robinho's kinda wages.
Hell, Ade would sign every member of his household to earn 160k per week.

Arsenal need foreign owners!!! U cannot compete in the transfer market without a billionaire.

how many times are you going to say that shyte we are tired of it already !!!

It has a lot to do with Sports cos the poof mentioned it on a sports thread!!!

Lest i forget, you are a Arrow.

RuuDie:
Why are Spurs management dilly-dallying over Juande Ramos' continued stay at the club. . . . . .  make d'em boot the guy out find another coachie jare!

They shouldn't have sold Berbatov and Keane at the same time.
Their attack lacks BITE at the moment and it would take a while before Pavlyuchenko blends in the team.
Spurs had a genuine opportunity to go for it this season but Daniel Levy should be blamed.

Come on. . . . . .He shoulda sold Berbatov earlier so he can use the cash to get quality strikers in Europe.
Levy delayed Berbatov's transfer until the last minute. . . .
Granted, he got 31 milla pounds from the deal but that money woulda been helpful on the pitch not in the vaults.

RuuDie:
Can anyone explain this oddity. . . . .  I was following the livecast of the Chelsea-Bourdeaux on Eurosport - at 36mins, it was 20mins on the MBI telecast which was supposed to be "LIVE."

Very easy. . . .
It's called DELAYED live telecast.
Shyte happens everywhere. . . . .even on SKYSPORTS.
The matches we watch LIVE are actually 60-180 secs behind whatz going down on the pitch.

[size=18pt]Karl-Heinz Rummenigge predicts repeat of English dominance.[/size]

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, the Bayern Munich chairman, says English clubs have stolen a march on other European sides and it would be a "sensation" if they do not repeat last season’s Champions League success.

The World Cup winner says that the divide has grown so wide between countries that German clubs will find it harder and harder to compete unless they can catch up financially.

"The English have stolen a march on Europe at the moment," Rummenigge said. "The Bundesliga has fallen a long way behind clubs like Manchester United or Chelsea.
He said: "You cannot criticise investors like Roman Abramovich or the Abu Dhabi Group of Manchester City.

"I would rather wish that we approach these things with a little less fear in Germany. Money is now decisive in the transfer market and what happens in the transfer market is decisive for what happens on the pitch."

Where is that EPILEPTIC LEPRECHAUN known as Dayokanu??

paribus:
@LondonCool

Very informative thread you have here.  Your opinion is appreciated on this situation.

I have been working part-time (16 hours/2 days per week/8 hours per day/thurs and friday) with an IT company since february. The position is a job share with another full time person who have to go part time after her maternity leave. I get paid 12k p.a (which comes to 1k monthly) working 2 days a week - the wages was pro rated from the salary of the original employee which was about 31k p.a. Initially when I took the job I was concerned that when the time to apply for the post study work scheme comes, Home Office might miscontrue my wages/tax paid as evidence of working beyond 20hours per week. i raised this issue with the company and they have no problem with issuing me with a cover letter to indicate that I work part-time (my fixed-term employment contract already states this). I called the home office sometimes in march to clarify this and the lady I spoke with indicated that the amount of salary is not necessarily assumed to be commensurate with the violation/observation of the 20-hour rule. I made a post of my situation on another forum here being overtly concerned about this situation then.

Now I'm just about handing in my dissertation and the time is drawing near to apply for the post study work scheme. I have been studying the form and on the list of documentation required to be submitted alongside the application, no payslip or employment information is required. Now my thinking is if on the basis of my NI number alone (which is required on the form), Home Office have to contact Inland Revenue, won't the amount of tax I've paid monthly (about 170/month taking net pay of 830) indicate that I'm working more than 20hours a week when in reality I'm not. I presume you would have some insight into how best to handle this situation.  Your opinion highly appreciated.

Regards

U have nuthing to worry about, bro!!!
As long as u don't exceed 20 hours weekly, u can make as much as ur employer feels you are worth.
There are so many Nigerian students where i work, they do 20 hours a week and their wages are staggering being IT analysts.

LondonCool:
Note: I am not suggesting arranged marriage nor condone it.

It's a safer option for Nigerians.
I hate the stories i hear about my brothers having to go through hell in Croydon.
Some people were sent back home to renew their visas, some went to Nigeria and never managed to come back and all other fuckeries.
I was told work permit holders would have to go back to Nigeria to renew(mandatory) by October.
Isn't that stressful??

ty4real:
Another one ,if you are a christian find a good church to fellowship eg Glory house,LOndon

I go to GLORY HOUSE every sunday at Canning town.
It's like a Naija reunion out there.
I see more than 50 old faces every week. . . . .
It's scary.

@hannibal
my guy
yeah i share in your sentiments. we can't be beating those guys every year. losing to Liverpool at Anfield isnt out of sorts!!!

ure asking if Nicholas Ajose is a Nigerian?
is he a Ghanian? hehehe

The name sounds Yoruba but u never know.
He could be claiming Jamaica.
The guy is good though. . . . . .

LondonCool:
Hello Nairalanders,

I thought it would be a good idea for us to have a thread that aims to help-/assist/inform most of our folks in Nigeria coming to UK for settlement/non-settlement purposes with tips/advice/procedures/legal-loopholes to look out for before they arrive / or while they are just arriving in the UK. It could be under any category (for eg, Housing,Student issues/Work-HSMP advice,Marriage, Renewal of LTR,etc)

I will set the ball rolling.

1) ON ARRIVAL IN UK BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU CARRY INTO UK IN YOUR LUGGAGE.
This advice applies to everyone entering the UK either as a visitor or as a returning resident. Most of the times a passenger is refused entry into the UK is mostly due to the incriminating evidence found in their luggage during further examination by immigration officers.

For instance, most Nigerians who have 2 year visit visa's and of course working/schooling illegally in the UK get caught on arrival because they happen to return with stuff such as Payslips, NI cards, Oyster cards (don't forget the audit trail history can be downloaded from the card), TESCO club cards, NHS cards, NUS Id cards etc.It doesnt take a dummy to add 1+1 in these scenario's.

Pregnant visitors get caught out with NHS appointment letters in their luggage,etc.

2) STUDENTS DONT WORK MORE THAN 20 HOURS except during Holidays-You will get caught.
As a student you are only allowed to work 20 hours a week. Whenever you exceed those hours the Inland Revenue (now HMRC) will inform the Home Office who will then bring up the issue whenever you apply to extend your Student visa. Recently, text messages are being sent to the culprits by the Home Office

Students do circumvent this by using other peoples NI card to work 20 hours + but I am not encouraging that.

3) HSMP VISA HOLDERS MAKE SURE YOU GET A JOB THAT PAYS £32K P.A Before your 2 year visa runs out.
I have seen so many HSMP holders work as Security Guards,Data Inputting Officers,etc earning £7 per hour to survive in UK and leave it too late to fulfil the REQUIREMENT of looking for a job (2 jobs is even allowed) that pays up to £32K (if you have a masters degree) or £35k as the case may be in order to get the remaining 3 years leave to stay from the Home Office. The logic is if you were a Highly Skilled employee earning N5m in Nigeria you should be able to apply that same skill here in UK to get a highly paid job. The truth is most holders of the HSMP visa do manipulate/inflate their salary in their HSMP applications-and find themselves not suitable to work within the UK.

Tip: Try and form a private company and do consultancy work side by side with your 9-5 job, it does count towards the £35K requirement.
Tip:If your spouse is working, get her to obtain a work permit while you become her dependent if you can not meet up with the HSMP renewal requirement.

4)HOSTEL

If you are looking for a cheap temporal place to stay in the UK then try Hostels. The popular one is St Christophers Inn (they charge £50 for 7 days if you book online), Picadally Backpackers Hostel,etc. I stayed there in 2000 when I got fed up of being moved around Homeless Hostel circuits and its better than being on the streets in UK.

)5 CREDIT CARDS
Dont touch them and don't clone them. If you want one get a Pre-payment mastercard. Always learn to pay your way in the UK, it will help you.

More to come

Cheese n Rice!!!!!

The best advice for any Nigerian coming to the UK these days is to arrange a marriage!!!
Extending visas these days is like the national lottery. . . . . . These people don't want Nigerians in their mix and would bring up the slightest detail to reject applications.
The best way to circumvent them is to get married provided u are not on a visitor's visa.
Good luck.

presido1:
On JT,
I believe the Ref was in a haste to issue the RED, thats a yellow offence.
All the same he might be the person to score own goal next weekend.
Lets take it as a blessing in disguise.

Terry and the FA are just buncha twats. . . . .
Nuff said.

Good to see Ronaldo, Manucho, Park and others train today.
All Fergie needs to get right is the best blend that can attack in a spring and defend as a unit.
It took him many games to fashion out last season and with the stop-start due to internationals and injuries/suspensions. . . .It's kinda hard!!
October is when i predict we would go on that 9 winning streak that would haul us back to the pole position.

Is Nicholas Ajose a Nigerian player??
The lad is so good in a United shirt so is Petrucci and Macheda.
They walloped Huddersfield 5-0 AWAY from home.
Petrucci is a young Totti, lets hope he makes it to the senior side in few years time.

dani1luv:
Alrite!!!

Who bi da best football Analyst on Nairaland??

This AWARD should go to MC Omo aka Dr Kitaun!!!
His Jehovah Jireh songs were inspirational last season.
He is a die hard GAYnner.

Cristalz:
You must be a recycled cave man   Cos i'm able to talk soccer i must be a man? Jeez. Thot this was the 21st century. Guess only an Arse would spill such silliness. .  .very myopic, retarded way of thinking  

What do u expect? He is a Gaynner!!!

javaprince:
@Hannibal
Much as hate to say this,  I will go on. Hannibal( the notrious Man Utd) is right once again. I personall witnessed a whole lot of arsenal peeps writing Adebayor off, now that he's scored an hat trick see d jubilation,

Notorious Man Utd fan?? U Arses must hate Hannibal to a fault.
I have been given 2 different names in the space of 15 mins . . . .Anti-Arsenal and now Notorious??
Anyways, i was the only dude that backed Ade. . . . . .U guys should appreciate him.
Afterall, he was BBC's African player of the year(what else do y'all want??)

AJITERU:
Guys, can we please talk about our next match which is coming up tomorrow. We were beaten the last time we met.Is there any possibility of going there and come back with victory? Debosky,Hni,A40,Hannibal(anti-arsenal fan) and others should please drop there comments.

I can't believe this. . . . . . . Hannibal is anti-Gaynners??

Hannibal helped talk to Arsene Wenger to pay Adebayor's wages during the summer.
90% of the goats here told him to go that he ain't worth 80k pounds per week.
He scored a hatrick over the weekend and these leprechauns are jubilating.
What a shame!!!!

nyabinghi:
John terry's red card has been waived by the pathetic fa of london. They really hate united at this smelly soho square.
lampard too got  away with murder last season against west ham when his red card was equally waived after beeing involved in an unsportmanly affair.
Jeremie Aladiere of boro was sent off against liverpool unjsutly and was given an extra ban for failing in his appeal while lampard did the same as aladiere and got away with it. Terry's presence will make it easier for UNited ti inflict maximum defeat on Chelsea. Law of Karma is waiting for chelsea.

That was why they went TROPHYLESS last season.
These things have a way of biting back on their asses.
The FA are a buncha fucking idiots. . . . .Had that been anutha player(foreigner), they woulda added more to his ban.

Football rules clearly stated that a RED cannot be downgraded to a yellow card.
The only way Terry coulda gotten out of it is if the FOUL was not a bookable offence in the FIRST PLACE.
That the FA rescinded his RED card technically means he shouldn't have been booked at all for that rugby tackle. . . . It's scary.

@ All Mancs,

You guys should pipe down a little bit.

Any team can suffer defeats at any point in the season.
We should move on already and stop this over-reaction.
Lets face it, we have no God-dang right to be winning at Anfield season after season. . . . .
I guess some of us woulda prefered to win at Anfield and lose at Hull. . . . . We can still manage 4-5 defeats this season and WIN.

The bad news is John Terry is playing on sunday.
How the FA managed to rescind his RED CARD is the fraud of the century.
If that was Rooney or Rio. . . . . Those pederasts at SOHO wouldn't have done anything to it.
I am sure Terry must be polishing their knobs up there.
Berbatov not training could be a precaution. . . . . . Vidic DID NOT train in Moscow and kept Drogba in his pocket for 120 mins.

Against Chelsea, all we need to do is to play our GRAFTERS.
JS Park, Fletcher, Anderson, Hargreaves would win the match for us.
Scholes should take a breather. . . . . He doesn't have the legs to run things anymore.
The team that walloped Arsenal 4-0 at OT last season would give Chelsea a run for their money.
Replace Nani with Tevez, Carrick with Hargreaves and we would end Chelsea's unbeaten record at SB.

HNIC:
I remember arguing with one of the scums here about Spurs breaking into the top 4.
I told him there was no chance in hell of such happenning.
I still stick with that though its only week 4.
The spuds are just woeful,no matter the players that come to help their cause.

Don't be too sure. . . . .It's only week 4!!!!

ritchboy:
according to jackal, 'the european footballer of the year' is the winner of the onze dor and not the ballon dor  

if i call u a retard, it will be an insult to retards(i.e emperoh)
if i call u a slowpoke it will be a compliment
calling u an slowpoke would be a gross under-statement

no english words can shed enough light on your overwhelming flaws. i'll have to receive the HOLY GHOST and speak in tongues to substantially quantify your bewildering inadequacies!

GOD OF STUPIDITY!

I am sorry for Mother Nigeria because the number of half-baked graduates the country keep producing is staggering!!!
Hannibal said Zidane was voted the European Footballer Of the Year in 2001(Onze d'Or)
Dayokanu changed it to 2002. . . . . .After i explained clearly it was 2001 and not 2002, he tried to rope me saying i meant Ballon d'Or.
There was no where in ma comment i said Zidane won Ballon d'Or in 2001. . . . . .I said Onze d'Or.

I am not surprised Bitchboy cannot differentiate between Ballon d'Or and Onze d'Or. . .
Afterall, he started watching European football after the capture of Saddam Hussein.
You are the most mentally-retarded Arrow on this forum. . . . .
I have to subject u and Dayokanu to a psycho-evaluation test to know who outplays who in the game of FATAL BRAIN DAMAGE!!!

ndumart:
dayo is on an assignment to recruit people who will join him in his leprosarium. Responding to his posts makes his job easier

Thanx for that bit of info!!!
Dayokanu is a serial self-servicer. . . . . .
He self-services so much his "cum" is almost seeping out of ma PC screen!!
What a doofus.

dayokanu:
@ Ibime,
Please you have to rescue me here. Jackal just said Zidane won the European footballer of the year in 2001. Quoting Onze D'Or.

So this airhead fella is here looking for support??
I can't believe this. . . . .
Why should i take u serious? A guy who thinks Republic of Ireland is part of Great Britain. . . . .
Investing in sacks of cocoa is a more profitable venture than sending u to school!!!

Dayokanu: @superstan,
Who would play a Neville who has been injured all season in the most important game of the decade. Only a Looney Maybe jackal/Hannibal might

On a normal day Man Utd would not play all these. If Neville was fit, Brown would not play/.

But on an unusual day, I have seen John Terry and Rio in goal for their teams ( When Injury beckons, Alex Song was drafted to central defence

Dayokanu is still foaming in the mouth like an idiot. . . .Ain't u ashamed?
So u wanna compare Rio/Terry in goal(make-shift/emergency) to Wes Brown starting a game?
Can Chelsea START a game and put John Terry as their goal-keeper??

The same Neville played against Roma in the UCL Q/final so you are pointless.
Keep bleating like an epileptic goat and clutching at straws.
What has Neville gotta do with your moronic statement that Brown, Hargreaves, Carrick, Scholes, Rio and Rooney cannot play at the same time?

The initial argument was---How many English players WILL make the starting XI of Man Utd(based on Blatter's 6' + 5')
Someone suggested United will play 6 English players without stress and like a hilly billy that u are, u disagreed.
You vehemently refused to believe United can play 6 English lads. . . .Well, they did in Moscow(their most important game last season)

If that does not confirm you as a loser suffering MID LIFE CRISIS, nothing else would.

dayokanu:
You are just sounding off key like a broken record. Everyone now knows Jackal is the resident goofer on this forum . Zidane was European footballer of the year 2001? I am having a great laugh

Even Garba Lawal was the World footballer of the year by Lolly Magazine. GUFFANTI!!!!!

between, WHO STOLE YOUR CANDY?

I have just been told the stupidity platelets in your blood are hereditary!!
Me thunk as much, how can a nigga so old be so foolish??
U cannot differentiate between ballon d"Or and Onze d'Or
It should be DAYOKANU won the most spastic human being of the century(TIME MAGAZINE)
Ya are so full of shit, farticles come o'utta ya mouth when u talk.

tkb417:
wahala
United lost to L'Pool at Anfield and all these rubbish are flying everywhere. . .
na wao. I'm sure you guys don't expect us to win the league without losing.
Losing to Liverpool isnt an ominous sign.
The last time i checked, they remain the most decorated club in England so what the f'ck is the fuss for?

It was a bad day in the office coupled with chains of bad-luck!!
United's cohesion suffered a massive blow immediately after Carrick's injury.
Scholes and Anderson have never worked(Man City at OT was a classic example).

Ferguson shoulda started Hargreaves/Ando(Hargreaves holds allowing Anderson to do his free running).
Scholesy is getting old and he takes few seconds longer to make a pass(Only Carrick understands him perfectly as he quickly makes himself available).
You would see a HUGE difference against Villareal when Hargo and Ando keeps it decent in the middle of the pack.

@mancs
whats the latest in our camp?

Ronaldo wants to start against Villareal.
He is begging Ferguson to let him LOOSE on Villareal and most especially Chelsea.
Whether he will start on wednesday or not remains to be seen but i am confident we can STING Scolari at SB!!!

ritchboy:

jackal is now officially nairalands resident goofer
the boy is unbelievable! he can tell u man united didnt lose 2-1 to liverpool because brown scored an own goal.

I am afraid, you are by far the official Nairaland's resident retard!!!
It's pathetic u fools cannot differentiate between Ballon d'Or and Onze d'Or!!!!

dayokanu:
Your stupidity is legendary.

You should be the god of stupidity at par with Hercules, Bacchus, Cupid, Venus and other Greek gods.

Google European player of the year 2001 and see what the answer would be if they would tell you Zidane won.

You can as well quote thisday magazine or Ikebe Super magazine player of the year

BLODDY NINCOMPOOP

It's like beating a dead horse if i start analysing the stupidity platelets coursing through your veins.
The money spent on your pathetic child development was a sheer waste. . . .It would have yielded more interest if it was spent on Cocoa pods.
"This Day" compared to Onze d'Or??
Why ain't i surprised? Anyone that opens his traps to say Brown, Hargreaves and Carrick CANNOT play together is a DOLT.

dayokanu:
OK go and check this quote and search for European player of the year 2001.

Onze D'Or? Are you nuts An award by franch Magazine Onze Mundial

Didier drogba, Thierry Henry and Cantona are former winners Are you OK. You can't wiggle out of this I caught you.

Did i mention Ballon d'Or in any of ma comments??
You are a slowpoke.
So because Henry n Cantona won Onze d'Or makes it invalid??
Are u insane?? The $64 million question is. . . . . Is the award based on the best European player in the year??
If the answer is YES then u are a plonker.

dayokanu:
Check it Sapin, italy, Germany The league table looks strange at the top. but EPL Same of the same

EPL is the same with Man Utd 14th on the table??
Dayokanu, are u genetically foolish or is it just self-made?
Tottenham is 20th, u pillock!!!
