Africa needs to understand that countries always act in their own interest first and foremost.

As we speak the country Ivory Coast is split into two with UN troops manning the border between North and South.

Why they can't make this border official and split the country into two is the question that we as Africans need to be asking.

In whose interest is it to keep a non-viable country as one when they could easily split and go their seperate ways?

Perhaps foreign mining firms who don't want to have to renegotiate mining rights with new entities.

What EXACTLY is it that makes the West opposed to splitting former colonial countries (whether Iraq of Africa) whilst promoting the balkanisation of Yugoslavia and other European countries?

It was in their interest to split Sudan and capitalise on the new oilfields in Southern Sudan as China controls Northern Sudan.

The African Union needs to put this issue on the frontburner of the UN.

How come no single African country has split since the end of colonialism?

All these Goodluck apologists need to shaaaaaraaaap!!!

What qualifies Sylva and Akala to pick up tickets again.

Infact, the most dangerous people in Nigeria today is this cabal and the desperate man (GEJ) who enthrones them out of selfishness and greed.

Obasanjo should just shut up.

He had his chance to promote Federalism during his tenure, now he is yarning okpata long after the horse has bolted.

The Petroleum and Land acts implemented during his first tenure as President are the most anti-federalist laws ever passed in Nigeria.

Welcome to the Government of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and his economic PR chief/stooge, Olusegun Aganga.

We are yet to receive account of 3 supplementary drawdowns from the ECF nor the last foreign borrowings.

Wrong week to make transfers.

I would be lucky to score zero points

Blackpool - Spurs is now off.

Looks like Tevez will be the differential this week.

Unfortunately Tamuno Ibime sold Tevez at a cost of 4 points before his sacking.

Hans Westerhoff is pissed

Ironic. Hehehehehe.

Me sef done send me verse since.

@Ibime

Would it have been different if he spent the money on a house or sumn??

You asking the wrong question.

If a Nigerian thief spends $100k on his home, I would laud him for his "moderation in stealing"

You see boys I grew up with like Ikhide Arumemi chilling in £15m homes after their father robbed our state to the tune of close to $1bln, then it would make you sick to the stomach.

These people are just showing their complete distaste for the masses by engaging in obscene and wanton expenditure like Ricky Rozay for 10 year old boy. You are a mugu to them. They have no respect for you. They steal your money then rub your face in it.

Theres no difference between Bayelsa and other rural areas. Bayelsa was previously the backwater of Rivers State and had the same development as places like Ogoni.

With thieves in power, it will remain a rural area like it always was.

@ Tosinadeda,

If you can't deduce that this boys father is worth at least a few hundred million, you need to go and repeat your NYSC in Borno State. Hehehehehehe.

Some peops may be worth 20m and will not have the free cash flow to produce 1milla in cash. Anybody who would produce 100k in cash on top a 10 year old bois head has some tens of milla in liquid form.

Let's get one thing straight.

Someone who spends 100k for a peerformer to attend a ten year olds birthday obviously has hundreds of millions.

We know those in our political and economic sphere who are worth such amount. There are a limited bunch, and we all know them by name.

Even the "cleanest" of these hundred millionaires/billionaires such as Adenuga and Jimoh Ibrahim have detailed history as political rentiers ie (people who collect rents from the Nations resources). Dangote et al likewise. Most of their businesses are based on procurement and waivers from Government.

So please don't ask us if it is our money cos it IS our money.

Show me a nucca in Nigeria who made close to a billion dollars just by marketing products and I WILL SAY FAIR PLAY if he obscenely spend $100k on Ricky Rozay.

Loads of weeping and gnashing of teeth on here since the draw came out. This thread has advanced at the fastest rate evr recorded on a non-match day.

No mind Eldee. He is studying in UK on our money, thats why he doesnt want to throw stones.

Good draw!!!

You might wanna check that again Sharon.

**Nelson voice**

HA HA

You can't invite a man with two heads to your party lest he scares your guests away.

And just to clarify that the time-period under consideration is the calender year 2010, not 09/10.

Gbenga is showing his true colours. Hehehehehehe

It most likely IS our money

I am in a state of dystrophia as to why Prof Obahiagbon did not consider it sine qua non to display his verbose fantasmosia during the cacophany that ensued over lawmakers jamboree pay. Prof Obahiagbon seems to parambulate around key issues without commiting himself to any cause that would put him in harms way.

^^ Coming from someone who earlier claimed that Ronnie has better stats.

Rushden and Diamonds goalie hangs himself after his fiance slept with John Terrys brother Paul.

Hmmmm. . .Terry family again!!!

Yes, I am not fit to be in debate with you Lorg Cougar abi Lord Sugar!

I humbly request to leave you to your Sneijder felation in peace whilst you stick needles in your eyes that fit and proper persons have deemed Sneijder is not worthy of consideration.

But before I leave, I will humbly remind that Messi has copped 74 goals in 75 in the same period Ronaldo you claim copped 43 in 44. I would leave you to see if you can get the ratio right this time.

Wars are not fought by number of men anymore but by sophistication of weaponry.

Gaddaffi should go and find his voice in an Arab forum.

African Union is making progress and don't need to be derailed by the likes of Gaddaffi with his rants

Is that why Mr Atiku has been importing arms?

Make aboki bring violence sef, let's see if they will lift another drop of oil from Niger Delta.

I am in now way in support of GEJs crooked ways of cornering vote, but ATIKU would be the last man I wanna hear complaint from.

If there's violence, let it be from the masses who are tired of PDP shenanigans.

@ Mrjingles,

GBAM!!!

In a few succinct words, you've ended the debate.

Bayelsas lack of progress is not due to lack of able people or human resources, but due to PDP armed robbers who run the state and the thugs they empower.

^^Mugu, you can't counter the point that Sneijder/Milito/Maicon/Robben is neither here nor there. You just focusing on typos.

David Villa I meant of course!

3rd place is irrelevant.

Only the top two are set in stone.

The only reason 3rd place became contentious is because of the presence of Iniesta (who shouldn't make top 30 sef).

Replace Iniesta with Robben, Ronaldo, Milito, Maicon or David Silva and no one will even bring yeye Sneijder arguments into the debate.

Sneijder/Milito/Maico/Ronaldo/Robben is a SUBJECTIVE choice!

Whilst Messi and Xavi is an OBJECTIVE and INEVITABLE choice.
