Abagworo:
name please

Cant tell you which one. Could be any of the 4. [size=3pt]Your exact age-mate[/size]. Lets leave it there.

One of Udenwas daughters once told me of the obscene wealth of Nzeribe in Imo State. If an Udenwa can complain about Nzeribe, then he must truly be a psychotic thief.

How can an insatiable thief like Nzeribe complain about corruption in our democracy? Thats like Hitler accusing someone else of anti-semitism. It shows how powerless we are as a people that a much despised man like Nzeribe can still speak in our Nation with impunity. In any self-respecting nation, this man would be behind bars.

Why did he not call for an end to democracy when he was in the senate? This mans bread has always been buttered by the military, so why we should we expect anything different from him?

Like all people of the Sahel in West Africa, Hausas are docile and content with life. . . . even Fulanis in other countries in West Africa are docile and peaceful. . . its the particular brand of Fulani we have in Nigeria (Uthman Dan Fodio dynasty) who mess everything up.

Goodbye Team Roc. . . . thank God for Etherington. . . the lazarus resurrected from the dead to cop me the extra 2 points I needed to win. . . hehehehehe

Ogunjobi done see fish wey big pass am. Saraki and Amaechi must not let up on this issue oh! They should lock up all those idiots at the glass house from Sani Lulu to Taiwo Ogunjobi to Dominic Iorfa. If Waziri can just do this one thing. . .

@ Biina,


I would like to exercise my constitutional and fundamental right to ask. . . . HOW MARKET!!!

In Ojukwus own words:

"Our motive was not territorial ambition or the desire of conquest. We went into the mid-west purely in an effort to seize the serpent by the head; every other activity in the midwest was subordinated to that single aim. We were going to Lagos to seize the villain Gowon and we took necessary military precautions."

Katsumoto:
Are you not able to discuss issues without resorting to insults? You jumped in the middle of a debate without trying to understand the contexts in which certain comments were made.

Lagos was a strategic target and in the context of the war, nothing should preclude Biafra from capturing it. It has however, been argued by several Biafrans that, they were not invading the West but were merely trying to liberate it from Northern forces. If you have never read Ojukwu's letter to Victor Banjo, then try to read it. Up on till that moment, Gowon was using mainly northern military personnel. Nigerian 1st Division had also, only attacked Biafra from the North through Benue. It was in this context that we were debating.

I try to have sensible and mature debates with all kinds of posters on these forums and I never resort to direct insults. If you are unable to have intelligent debates and discussions without resorting to immature and petty insults, then I suggest you back off sucking my d.1.c.k. 

I know your type, you are bullied by your colleagues, friends, wife, and girlfriends and then you take out your frustration by insulting strangers on anonymous forums.

hehehehe. . . . whats funny is that my comment was tongue in cheek, and was supposed to be interpreted as the contemporary definition of the word "tool" as opposed to "f00l".

But from your response, I can see that I should have used the original meaning of the word "f00l" to contextualise your intellectual and temperamental disposition.


Imagine an idiot like yourself making this statement:

Katsumoto:
Biafra never obtained any form of assurances from the West before advancing. If you have any information to the contrary, then provide it. The minute that the BAF started the advance through the midwest, everyone knew where they were going. From the start of the advance on the 9th of August until the 21st when the retreat started, the Western leaders had almost 2 weeks to contact Banjo.

In the absence of any evidence pointing to an alliance between the West and the East and the consequent advance of Biafran troops towards the West, why would the West remain neutral? Playing defensive is a bad strategy. Would the West have trusted that Biafran troops would not have advanced on its territory again?

then backtracking by saying this:

Katsumoto:
Lagos was a strategic target and in the context of the war, nothing should preclude Biafra from capturing it.

hmmmm. . . . it speaks for itself. . .


Like I've said (and for the last time), Western Nigeria automatically became at war with Biafra the minute Nigeria declared war on Biafra. You dont need to go to military or diplomat school to understand that simple fact.

The West was never neutral as you claim. . . and was a legitimate war front in the war between Nigeria and Biafra from the moment Gowon declared war.

Echoes of 1966 and Major Hassan Katsina.

Playing defensive is a bad strategy. Would the West have trusted that Biafran troops would not have advanced on its territory again? This is why an agreement was needed before hand. Otherwise you would not know what the otherside is planning. The other question is, why did Ojukwu send troops to the west without an agreement with the West? I have read the letter from Ojukwu to Banjo and that letter does not constitute an agreement.

You are simply a tool!

Nigeria declared war on Biafra. . . is the West not part of Nigeria?

Was Lagos not the most strategic place in Nigeria to capture?

Dede1:
@ few posters

It is very unfortunate that Nigeria has grown into stupidity with knack to demonstrate infinitely. I could not believe reading odious and impetuous analogy of Biafra and Germany from the ongoing discourse. People tend to gravitate to all time low trying to absolve themselves or their forbearers from delusional acts by indulging in arrant prevarication.

Biafra never enjoyed a minute of peaceful existence as a sovereign nation and yet someone audaciously decided to generate loathsome comparison that pitched Biafra against Germany that had risen to the apex of imperial power.

Sharrap dia!!!. . . we are simply discussing military strategy here, not whatever you perceive that we are discussing. . . it is a matter of fact that the invasion of the West and North was necessary if Biafra was not to fight a static defensive war. . . . I have no reason to defend my elders for most of the people of my hometown of Ogan-Ama were solidly behind Biafra.

^^^Bayern aint going nowhere with that defence of theirs. Van Buyten was a fool today, and Demichelis is a fool 99% of the time.

ritchboy:
Ibime
when i was telling you some months ago that Nasri should be playing in CM, you were chatting shyte, saying it would leave Arsenal too exposed. . . . . Now you have seen the light.

What Ritchboy can see on the ground, Ibime cannot see on the roof of a skyscraper.

^^^ words of a prophet! ^^^

Luck of the draw. . . if someone is a fool 99% of the time, why should I give him kudos for being wise the other 1% of the time?

dayokanu:
Can someone check who my captain is?

hehehehe

duduspace:
Despite initial reports claiming that Arsenal had signed Bolivian Samuel Galindo, the Bolivian is not officially an Arsenal player, but his father signed an intent to purchase contract which means that Arsenal will have first option on signing him in the Summer and, in the interim, Arsenal will pay for him to train in England and will set him up with an English tutor, in the same manner as Brazilian loanee Pedro Botelho. In the summer, Galindo is likely to join either Salamanca or Royal Zaragoza on loan.

Galindo recently completed a three day trial period at London Colney. The initial day consisted of physical trials testing his speed and stamina, the second day focused on technique, control and shooting, which he impressed at and the final day saw him join the first-team for a training match. Arsene Wenger was pleased with what he saw, but coaching staff told Galindo to work on his muscle mass and speed.

Arsenal expressed concern when allegations suggesting that Galindo was 20 years old, rather than 17, began to emerge. However, having put him through proper tests, it has now been proved that he is in fact 17.

He had some offers from teams in his homeland but was not interested as he felt that pursuing one of these options would hinder his chances of moving to Europe.

Galindo will return to England today and will begin training until May, when he can apply for his Spanish visa.Galindo played for Bolivia in their recent 5-0 defeat to Mexico.

Galindo's problem was that he played for Bolivia U-17. . . then went on to captain Bolivia U-20 at the age of 16. . . some of the Bolivian staff came out and said that the Under-20 camp was rife with age cheats, which prompted an investigation by the Bolivian FA. . . .  naturally, Wengers eyebrows were raised at this. . . and considering that a 16 year old was captaining the Under-20 team, he must have been suspicious of Galindo.


@ All,


Good play by the Gunners tonight. Biscuit-bone Samir Nasri is starting to look World Class in CM. I hope AW wont put him back out on the left wing.

An Arsenal midfield of Cesc and Nasri with Arshavin supporting from the left is starting to look Barcelona-esque, with Arshavin imitating Messi, Cesc imitating Xavi, and Nasri imitating Iniesta. . . . just need to sort out the right wing. . . .I can just imagine how deadly Arsenal would be with someone like Gervinho or Varela on the right wing.

Aw did Bent cop a hattrick?. . . this guy want spoil my show. . . . A-40 must be feeling frisky right now, but I have a feeling that Sorensen will torpedo Team Roc tomorrow. . .

2-0

How market?

ritchboy:
what have you and Ibime been telling me? That Gerrard has poor technique? Was that ever in doubt? Guess what, Lampard's technique is even worse. Lampard has also been woeful this season, the only difference is his team have done better = less scape goating/bashing. Replace Gerrard with Lampard in Liverpool and they will be below Portsmouth!!

Oh so now you done change mouth. . . now you're telling me Gerrards poor technique was never in doubt?. . . . dont let me pull up your previous comments nucca.

When it comes to midfield play, if Gerrard is Chris Brown, then Lampard is Michael Jackson.

Pataki:
Good morning Sir. Ibime! How are you doing? Hope you enjoying this terrible cold in the month of March.

The goodmorning refers to Ojukwus famous words. . . Goodmorning Niger Delta!

Pataki:
@ topic,
It is time the nation called Nigeria separates. I have never believed in that, but now and evermore, I hold firmly to that dogma.

Goodmorning Pataki!

How are we sure the striking cattle dealers are not the ones who used their free time to attack Jos yesterday?

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=408133.msg5653697#msg5653697 date=1268091494]Something we have been telling Ritchboy, Chic2Chimp and Nateevs ages ago.
Gerrard is a liability in the midfield. . . . . .His best role is playing off a centre forward.[/quote]They say Gerrard is good because he's versatile to play in different positions. . . I say, he has to play in a free role, cos he lacks the technique and discipline to play in central midfield. . . . this quote sums it up:

When Rafa joined, he got it right instantly in sticking Gerrard on the right in a roaming role. Wish he'd had the conviction to stick with that.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=408133.msg5653653#msg5653653 date=1268090939]RAWK is on meltdown as we speak. . . . .They are slaughtering Gerrard without FEAR. [/quote]hehehe. . . . its a case of the neked Liverpool Emperor's clothes. . . Gerrard, the great white hype is being called out by his own fans. . . where are all those calling for Gerrard to play in central midfield now. . . even Liverpool fans dont want him in midfield cos he loses possession all the time.

hehehehe. . . . no doubt about it. . . .Liverpool fans are slowly starting to realise what we have said all along. . . that their God Gerrard is a player with limited technique. . . yes, the boy can bang a shot, yes he has pace, but lets face it, he is an average midfielder.

More from Liverpool's RAWK website:

Have to laugh at everyone who still thinks Gerrard is a top central midfielder by the way. The regularity in which he gives the ball away puts Aquilani to shame. And its not soley down to a lack of movement ahead of him or because he's frustrated, he just ain't very good there.

mate gerrard was shocking.all game

I would add that there is only so much a manager can do when the likes of Gerrard, Carragher and Kuyt have been so piss poor abysmal all year.

Gerrard is w@nk. No creativity at all. When long range shots fail to save his skin, we can see how average his technique is.

kosovo:
This is utter purgamentum, i am indeed very sadden by this act of incuriosus by the Government.
Yes! an act of Government delinquency towards the provision of Basic infrastructure for the Nigeria people.
The Presence of street lights in our highways would have averted and debared the allopatry of this lamentable event, This ploratus event, an event that has put the Nigeria people in a state of discombobulation.

After all this latin gibberish wey you dey speak for here, you no fit apply simple tenses correctly.

You are indeed very sadden abi na sadden[i]ed[/i]?

You also cannot debar an event from occuring.

Street lights are on our highways, not in our highways. Are you from Ajegunle? You sound like an educated illiterate! 


The structure and flair of your language is more important than the big grammar you dey knack for here!

I dont believe we have had more problems than Manure this season. When you consider Manure missing Vidic, Ferdy and VDS (most of season), Evans missing from October to January, Wes Brown in and out (now out for season), O'Shea out for season, Giggs (1 month), Anderson (season), Owen (season), not to talk of Hargreaves. . . . I think Manure have definitely had it worse.

We dropped a lot of points in December that we simply shouldnt have. Lets hope we can build some confidence over our next 3 games (West Ham, Portsmouth, Blackburn) before facing a whirlwind of 4 tough matches out of our last 7.


BTW, someone needs to speak to Drogba. I dont know how a professional footballer can fail to control a simple ball and pass it on. Yesterday he only made one successful pass to a teammate in the first half. Make una speak to the guy abeg.

FFS, Both Rooney and Hunt didnt play this weekend.

Suddenly, my clash with Team Roc isnt as cut and dried as I thought it would be at the start of the weekend.

Here's hoping for Bent and Kuyt to fire blanks tomorrow and tuesday.

Few weeks ago, a muslim village was attacked and hundreds killed. I guess this is the payback. Jos is rapidly becoming Rwanda minor.

We're playing Villa in semi's.

Am sorry, Ivanovic is simply World Class. Av never seen him make a mistake or look shaky in ma life.

Good game by Alex. I dont know what boys were complaining about him 4.

Good game by Malu in central midfield also.

Ferreira has surprisingly played well @ left-back.

Ps. . . Drogba made his first successful pass to a teammate @ 45:20 (to Lampard). . . . if Im lying, watch the tape and count it yourself. . . I dont understand how a professional footballer can go 45 minutes with only one successful pass.
