sent a suprise cake to her office in the morning------------the only cake that came to her office yesterday and she became an instant celebrity (she regaled me with tales of how it feels nice and spiritual to share things with people) got some lovely chocolate bars, wine, other bits and pieces that i personally handed over to her. she waited almost 2 hours in an un-conducive place for me due to the traffick gridlock i found myself in, she came home with me and surprised me with a set of designer cologne. i missed fellowship though

Hi Folks,

I really do not know where and how to raise a new thread for this inquiry, please i am in dire need to get the best out of the purchase of a fire truck.

Can someone give me the basics for a brand new fire truck (water and foam capacity)

thanks in advance

Quite a subtle and ingenious way to pass something across.

ACCORDING THE LAW STATE BURIAL IS FOR THE EX PRESIDENT'S AND FORMER HEAD OF STATES.LIKEWISE AWOLOWO DID NOT RECEIVE STATE BURIAL AS WELL.

IN OTHER WARDS OJUKWU HIMSELF WILL NOT FORGIVE THE IGBO'S IF THEY ALLOW HIS BODY TO BE BURIED BY THE NIGERIANS. YESTERDAY ISRAELI'S NEWS PAPER STATED IN HEBREW A COURAGEOUS BRAVE MAN OF AFRICA IS GONE THEY WENT ON TO DESCRIBE OJUKWU AS THEIR AFRICA SON,IN CONCLUSION THEY SEND A CONDOLENCE MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF ANAMBRA AND OLD EASTERN REGION AS A WHOLE ASSURING THAT THEY ARE MOURNING WITH THEM,THE NEWS WENT ON TO SAY THAT AFRICA WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT PLANET ONLY IF BIAFRA WAS ACTUALIZED.

IF COUNTRY LIKE ISRAEL CAN ISSUE THIS TYPE OF STATEMENT I WONDER WHAT ELSE WOULD PLEASE OJUKWU IS IT NIGERIA STATE BURIAL ?

what a sensible post. This sums up a lot in the minds of people. Can you assist with a link to the Israeli paper??

hardbody:

My resolve to never have a thing to do with the almajaris and their kiths in the west has just been rekindled. I now have a fuller and better understanding why my dad was said to have burnt his british passport immediately after the war. I need to learn a lot more, but for whatever reason, if a people supposedly under one geographic entity could do this to innocent children and helpless women, then there shall be neither peace nor trust in this country. It is now coming home to me why i never for one day set foot in the northern part of the country, perhaps my innate feelings explains quite a lot of other latent dislikes i hold against some of these ethnic northerners. I have tried to relate this to the killing of the Corpers during the recent polls, and i ask myself, how many nothern corpers were killed in the east/west? how many were killed in the North? Do we really have any heterogenity with these northerners? Indeed should we remain as one? whatever happened to the inalienable right to self determination? must everything boil down to oil? what happened to the groundnut pyramids in Kano, can these almajaris rebuild and commence exportation? and i was taught that the west produced cocoa ( i think there is a cocoa house even in Ibadan) so what happened to its production. My one regret is that efact that i just signed off on the employment of one smart hausa chap, but i have a feeling he will come out like his ilks, i wount give him more than a fair chance to progress, we are not friends, neither are we colleagues. If the hands of the clocks were to be turned backwards and in teh same situation, he will kill me first. @ Poster, please post more and send in links if it is possible.

i Just can quite feel the depth of your pain. I have battled with this feeling for so long right from childhood after being regaled of tales about how innocent easterners were murdered in cold blood during those dark years (and it is yet to abate)

To this very day, i just wonder at what Igbo folks are doing still migrating up north, we should all endeavor never to let this be swept under the carpet.

Our generation and our children must be reminded about all these, at least most of them are internet savvy and so can always search out the truth for themselves

Nayah:

holydante and Chi baby, yeah you"re right, I time can be your best friend for this!

Hello there,how are Y☺u catching up?

moving on, is easier said than done. It is a not-so-good experience but it sure helps to acknowledge this.

*you need to be be harsh on yourself by ''admitting to yourself'' that you have been ''rejected'', such harsh reality will jolt you out of the self pity syndrome

*stop looking forward to catching glimpse of the person or reading their past sms or peeking at their fb wall, old pixs etc

*delete and destroy every memory and face what you love doing. Work, fellowship etc

*make yourself feel good by shopping for yourself and appreciating who you are

*if you have a good support network of reasonable and understanding friends, always hang out with them, avoid and minimize staying alone (also watch out for friendly male folks that may just want to use this opportunity to have a peekaboo at ya)

*if you are a Christian and believe in Gods word, search the Bible for reassuring words.

so many people have gone down this lane, surely you wont be the last

DO NOT TOAST A MAN YOU WANT TO MARRY

DO NOT TELL A MAN YOU LOVE HIM UNTIL HE TELLS YOU

DO NOT SPEND ENDLESS TIME COMPARING HIM TO YOUR MILLS AND BOON HERO

LEARN THE ART OF HARD TO GET ,MEN ONLY LOVE WHAT THEY WORKED HARD FOR.

FINALLY 21ST CENTURY FOR ONE NIGHT STAND , FOR LONG TERM PLEASE SEE YOUR GRANDMA ON HOW SHE CENSORED GRANDPA,

BE RESPECTFUL TO A MAN YOU WANT BUT BE VERY MYSTERIOUS AND TALK LESS AROUND HIM , LET HIM DO THE

TALKING AND CHASING.

DO NOT CALL HIM OR TEXT HIM OR GIFT HIM OR TALK MARRIAGE

FINALLY DO NOT KEEP YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET ( do not confuse with having multiple sex partners but do have multiple dating partners)

THE TRUTH IS THE BIOLOGICAL MAKE UP OF EITHER MEN OR WOMEN HAVE not CHANGED

BE WISE

I patiently was wooing a close-to-30ish yr old lady for possible life companionship and had several donkey months of tons of crap response and telling me she is praying etc etc, she co-incidentally carried out everything you said above to the latter; now a more focused, outspoken and successful younger person (5 yrs her junior) came on board and pronto we hit off; now she is all over pleading, depressed and eager for us to be. surely i have distanced myself.

My take on it is that as much as i believe that women should wait around for the HE to surface, they should not act by the book because there are no hard and fast rules to it. You might get your fingers burnt

Cules,

Like St Paul said in The Good Book, i leave what is behind and press forward towards the mark, we are looking at tomorrow man, not at by gone old wives conspiracy tales and blame games.

I just pray that fortune and favor will reward our resilience tomorrow, i wish I know how to upload pix here, my office has taken on a new look with Barca memorabilia, i gat much love and support from folks here in my office for Barca.

Anyways, some guys rae MIA here, where is JP, dippiset et al, men you all have to rep fully here from no till next dawn.

I wish you all a good outing and may we celebrate tomorrow.

We are Barcelona

@holydante
That post wasn't written by an Arsenal fan. .you'd have seen it 'somewhere' in there and if you noticed he praised Barca's style of play but found it odd that a great club with so much talent would resort to that type of tactics to get results. So, because he wrote the blog a and an Arsenal fan posted it on your thread. .it means he's an Arsenal fan? your reasoning is REALLY shallow.For all i care. .he could be a Madrid fan(you watched the match, no need to interpret how you qualified), an Inter Milan fan (Yes, they won but that was marred by so many dodgy calls).

Let adults read and post sensible stuff, not the jibberish which you just spewed (with insults) that i deleted.

so responding to a post from an MOD has suddenly become an age defining act.

Praising someone and finally rubbishing the performance amounts to nothing and why would someone be bothered about such at this stage when the train is moving forward, it irks me to see people talk about diving and play acting only in relation to the few Barcelona players who had every right to do so in the face of rough tactics from Madrid.

The title of what you embedded here reads one thing, your comment is '' guess the whole world now sees this team for what it truly is. . .'' and can you buttress what you mean by that

Deleting my comment? well i have nothing to say to that but oga, i aint no kid and that gibberish you refer to will always be directed to such article whenever and wherever it is raised.

eyoniggar:

Villa! Villa!! Villa!!! The snake that the eagle didnt set eye on would be the one to crawl to its nest and eat up her eggs.

God bless you bruv, exactly my sentiments. such an inspired comment. He may come to the party moro

Meanwhile the squid worshipers are @ it again, maybe they need to ask a certain coach of Los Blancos what was the outcome of the last prediction

Eto'o, Larsoon the world is talking about this match, everyone is talking ooo, our old acquaintances and foes alike, even mama-gee too, men am getn butterflies like kids on parade.

Edwin van der Sar (born 29 October 1970[2]) is a Dutch footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for English club Manchester United. He is the most capped player in the Netherlands national football team's history.
He started his senior career at Ajax and remained there for nine years before moving to Italian club Juventus and then to England, first to Fulham and then to Manchester United. He is one of the few footballers to have won the UEFA Champions League with two different teams, having won it with Ajax in 1995 and Manchester United in 2008, the latter where he was named UEFA Man of the match; he also won the UEFA Cup with Ajax in 1992.
Throughout his long and illustrious career, Van Der Sar has achieved and set numerous records. in the 2008–09 season he set the world league clean sheet record by not conceding a single goal for 1,311 minutes. Along with being the most capped player in Netherlands national team ever, with 130 caps, he is also the oldest player to win the premier league at 40 years and 205 days old. Individually Van Der Sar has won several honours such as Best European Goalkeeper in 1995, 2008, 2009 and 2010, and UEFA Club Goalkeeper of the Year in 1995 and 2009.
Known for his commanding presence in the penalty area and defence, he is often regarded as the greatest goalkeeper to have played for Manchester United alongside the legendary Peter Schmeichel and also one of the greatest European goalkeepers ever, culled from Google


Such an illustrious career, pity he will bow out with a 2nd defeat against the BLaugrana, any cule in the room say Ai ai

eyoniggar:

Lol, cules I don laff tire, yall need to go through this thread puleez.


https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-676279.0.html#msg8402556

well, i guess that baba Adinni just wants to be heared, apart from the Pope, who else is more Chuchuous than Spain, anyway if it were so, Nigeria would have virtually won all her matches since time immemorial cos our players pray a lot.

Fortune favors the brave, the resilient and also a bit of luck and other factors, God factor dey too

yep Eyo, i really respect Man u too. The center ref is a Hungarian, it an all Hungarian outing, i trust no play acting from any side, lets just play this beaurifull game to the fullest.

Where is that lady culeress from the other thread, i was really impressed at her declaration, pls bring her over here man. she will gain a lot from sages like Stealthy and Ajanle

nice one guys, the Zonal marking stuff was indeed a nice one and their analyses can be buttressed by that towering leap of faith of Messi above VDS and RF to nod in the second goal, anyway Messi plays no false decoys these days. He is Messi and takes on any shape the gaffer wants.

My main concern is that lill rabbit shikarito (apologies to the Prince of Monaco fine-faced Victor Ikpeba), that guy has an uncanny knack for positioning and punishing mistakes plus Rooney's energetic runs but i guess he has Biscuits to contend with, one thing Busi does is hardly putting in a wrong foot for a tackle.

mama-gee:

That's your problem cause I love footballl with a passion as a matter of fact, I'm madly obsessed with the UEFA Champions League. . .

I'm even doing a personal countdown for it. . .you can now hit your head on the wall if you like.

you are being economical with the truth granny mama-gee, you conveniently ignored adding your obsession with Christiana Ronaldo.

Gaynners and Madrid aint playing in the finals, i wonder who you want to support or you want to support the UCL trophy only

Guys,

I took out time over the weekend to feast my eyes on ESPN classic matches, mehn, the Cup finals between Inter and Ajax in 1972 was a classic, with Cryuff poppin in 2 goals in the 47 and 78th minutes, it was as if i was watching a 2011 Barca squad against a Madrid side, almost a replica of the hostilities, the Ajax passing game was beautiful to the eyes and excellent positioning, the commentator as at then ran out of adjectives to describe the flow of Ajax, Barca really emulated them well, i guess we owe a lot of our developments to Johann

It occured to me that as along as an opposing team controls the game to short precise passes, the other side will continually but foul the possession-laden team, i just hope that with Madrid's recent form and signings, next season will be about footies and not press conferences, BTWX, i really doff my hat for Los Blanco signing Nuri Sahin from B.Dortmond, that guy was the engine room of that team, he is a Xavi look alike in performance.

We are more than equal to the task, we are Barcelona

Wow, Culeland,

Unlike Osaze who went out of camp on AWOL and refused to apologize, I got a new assignment and had to deliver. Am back on track, hope everyone is faring good.

Stealthy, you left your secluded comfort zone and came to town and experienced lasgidi traffick maze, now you appreciate how we race home after work trying to catch up with 7:45pm slated matches

Nice we have reached a century mark with the other thread, and i make bold to say that it is a thread filled with constructive and authoritative posts although i was a bit saddened when some folks decided to briefly turn it into some cuss arena towards the latter part of the season (i was involved too ) but i sure did regret such when Ajanle rebuked guys (good to have elders around you know), anyway, i know this is gonna be another bomb.


I dream Wembley all the time now

We are Barcelona

-I am kinda worried about the rate and extent of begging and pleading for funds from all and sundry in this country. I have never had a problem sharing out any little that God gives me but the rate of begging asking has intensified and i was thoroughly miffed that i spent my entire March salary and bonus giving left, right and center, and had no penny left and i have loads of promises again just waiting for the upcoming pay and ve not even talked about my personal commitments

-the above has also made me worried about telling friends and family and church associates about my progress, cos as i tell them, they intensify and increase what they ask, i told one recently about some good news in my career, he just sent sms that he is resigning his job in the east to come and live with me, i just weak

-Am also worried that my dad has crossed 70yrs and i have not done anything remarkable for him apart from off and on stipends

-am also worried that i have foreclosed my heart to accepting love creep in again after some several past ish from undeserving ladies, now my heart just wont refuse to be mean , am suffering for it now

-am also worried about the hate and mean attitude of a certain tribe in my office who always use their language to talk about others and run them down and if others attempt speaking theirs, they grow suspicious and flare up

Hullo Fellow Cule Caopones,

JP88, you have been a worthy contributor to this thread, someone who often times is open to corrections, its an attitude of a great learner, pls keep it up; a double belated happy birthday to thee, am gonna pop a chilled nestle bottled water on your behalf during my lunch today and also to calm-collected-Don Andres, may God continue to keep you guys for us.

And at last, we have done it, a hard fought one and a well deserved Title, I bet this is one helluva draw that was as sweet as a victory (if i may paraphrase a ''certain special someone ) Although i would have loved Lionel EL Messi to cap up such a magnificent season with the pichichi but hey, CR7's playmates have other ideas too, we wish them well, it will be an amazing feeling ''if and when'' Messi makes contributions to seal up the UCL holy grail at Wembley.

It wasnt a good performance yesternyte, i bet Pique is having a lot of close moments with Shakira , we need him to be up to his best more than ever on the 28th, he'l have a full hand in Rooney and Chicarito et al to contend with.

To all Cules on Culenairaland, You all have been great, so many eye opening commentaries and great submissions, i sure did learn a lot and the switch over folks too, that ensured i learnt some cuss words too, lets do it again next season, albeit maturedly

Well done Campions

@Holydonkey

fat donkey!

talk to my monkey, u bloody donkey!

this teen never ceases to dumbfound me with his silly antics, you are just lyrical match-making instead of making sense.

This is not rap zone bozooo, if you think you got ryhmes, you know better what to do than be on NL cussing your elders

A person who winks in the dark winks at no one.

donkey, monkey, bloody!! see ryhmes naahhh!!!! wack MC, clap for urself again

switch47:

Iker the octopus was named after the Real madrid goal keeper.

I wonder what happened to the squids prediction about Madrids-Barca outcome , perhaps it will give prediction-failure reasons Pastor Bakare style

supersports.com reports that Fergie looks to Mou for Tips, i bet this is laughable, we dont want ugly scenes at Footies reverred ground on the 28th.

He should also do well to advise him to expect yellows and red if they play his style. I bet SAF wouldn't fall for this kinda gimmicks, although i know we will have a whole lot of vociferous cat calls and crowd chants targeted against several of our ''diving players'' and team as a whole @ Wembley.

We just simply have to be ourselves and play as usual, we dont change our games for anyone, therez been several headline news from Man U's camp, SAF preferring CR& to Messi, Ferdinand's tweet on Pedro and todays several headlines from SAF's interview etc, I just wish Pep and the players will avoid the camera glare and stay focused.

With all due respect, the title is ours to loose, am staying focused on a victory for us

I must confess that am really wearied out with the favoritism whinnings and hulabaloo cry and I have resolved not to delve much into it but I found Cruyff's article on Total Barca quite a piece to read, i just pasted below exercepts,

When I came to Barcelona in ‘88 [as their coach], Madrid, for me, was the best team in the last 40 years [prior to that]. They had La Quinta del Buitre [The five vultures] and had just won three back-to-back league titles. In Barcelona, everyone was crying foul. The referees were to be blamed for everything – Madriditis in every way. They were better, so of course they were winning. They won two more titles [after that] but we were growing [in strength]. [From the time I arrived,] we were helping Madrid to be better but were growing ourselves, until the day when we were playing as good, or maybe even better, than them that we managed to beat them. It was the Dream Team against La Quinta.

AjanleKoko:

^^
You know, the whole Clasico series just got me wondering how La Liga would be without the Big Two chasing each other about season after season.

well, its just a thought, except they can can go way back in time to 04/12/1892 and reverse the birth of Franco ''legend of the seeker style''

Pharoh:

I have seen so many abuses about madrid fans and mourinho groupies on this forum that surely has broken the relationship i have with people here.

wow!!!

, and to remember that this was a Madrid that gave an ovation to Ronaldinho the day he scored his wonder goal at the Bernabeu, one should also not forget the fact about the heartfelt wish the Madrid players extended to Abidal during one of their league games when they wore a shirt in solidarity, but how the relationship was soured in less than 6 months is just crazy.

JM's crave for titles and knack to prove himself surely caused all these, i just wonder if it were in the hey days of Raul and Guti, surely JM may not have had his way with such tactics.

I think i readily agree with the fact that JM should bear a greater responsibility for souring the relationship. Immediately he landed in Spain he gave series of interviews and made some veiled references to Barca then and i guess pep choose to ignore him and subsequent utterances until the recent burst up.

Like Ajanle pointed out, the rivalry is neck deep and permeates every aspect of their lives, it simply goes beyond soccer but the recent world cup triumph helped to calm things down a bit but Mou's antics coupled with his former presence as a Barca crew really didnt help matters but hey, life must go on.

hi Cules,

It was a well deserved finals spot and also a shame on physical footie. Do not cower in the face of anyone that suggests or bandies the UEFA-Barca conspiracy, if UEFA favourtism can make a team to play delightful soccer like Barcelona does, then let it continue, i fully subscribe to that.

I guess the ref just wanted things to be even otherwise they should have been 1 man down as is the norm, Adebayor was just a disgrace-in-chief with what he was doing yesterday. What baffles me is that folks tend to keep quiet in the face of Madrid's less than honorable display in the 4 classico's and make a mountain out of Barca's reaction to the bruises and assault all in the name of closing down players, considering the fact of what they have at their disposal.

The only time JM played us footie this season was the 1st classico and he got bruised at the Nou, and surely the better side did go through.

As it were, on to the next one

hannie:

u now claim no one would have noticed how come holydokey noticed and instead claimed I scampered off away from your thread?

anuofia ezi bida, I noticed that Mes Que un Club Thread was no longer getting any gutter-laced curses from a certain hannimal and it started after the 2-0 bashing failure Madrid received at Bernabeu, and i wondered if it was a coincidence but surely i guessed you went to lick your wounds on Los Blancos failures coupled with the perennial disappointment of assnal. Only for you to surface yesterday with your yoke and burden and yet your squid disappointed you again.

My religion doesn't tolerate giving up after failures, otherwise I would gladly recccomend suicide fagging like the typical gaynner that you are to end your misery.

Miserable Hannimal
