Channel 89800

Abeg, whats the name of the channel. . . I dont know how to access the channels by numbers.

Nateevs, what Sopcast channel are you watching this match on?

@ Topic,

We dont worry about such things.

Thats for Arsenal, Liverpool and the rest of them to worry about.

Im not surprised. . . Benny Hinn has always struck me as a charlatan. . . of all these pastors today, I only listen to the likes of Andrew Wommack and David Pawson. . . the rest of them just seem to be in[i] "church business"[/i]

MrCrackles:

(1.) i thought ogbeche's debut was against Ireland at Loftus Road, correct me please. (Sodje and the Opabummis)

(2.) oh, i just got it, it ended 2 : 2

Nigeria and Paraguay drew 2-2 in an international friendly match played in London prior to the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan

(1.) Nah, the Ireland match was Ogbeche's recall in 2005. . . if you remember correctly, that was Martins debut. . . Martins could not have made his debut in 2002.

(2.) The match ended 1-1. . . my bad. . . . I recall the match. . . that website is yarning nonsense.

honeric01:
when did we play Paraguay in a friendly?

Before 2002 WC. . . . 0-0 draw at Loftus Road. . . that was Ogbeche's debut.

Nice one boys!. . . . just enjoying you lots verses. . .

This nugga must be a member of the Tea Party, or a Republican devotee.

See what psychotic aversion to paying taxes can cause o!

hehehe. . . I like this. . .

It is not Iwu's job to speculate on the machinations of politics, nor is it his job to postulate on political strategy.

His should simply count the votes and keep his mouth shut.

I dont know how this issue jumped from Danjuma to MEND.

MEND is not Mossad. . . as it is, the boys have overachieved by holding the nation to ransom with just a few speedboats and AK47's. . . they do not have the capability to carry out inland attacks and have never done so. . . .or do you lot think Danjuma is sitting on his front porch waiting to be shot?


Anyway, back to the issue at hand.

This story exposes the wickedness of Obasanjo's 1978 Land Use Act.

Did the community where Danjumas oil block is situated ask to sell the land or give it away free to the Government?

The people's land has been stolen and given to the members of the cabal in the name of "Federal Land".

After now, someone will come and tell us that the land is Federal Land. If the land is Federal Land, it should NOT then be privatised.

Does it sound fair for FG to come and steal your land, sell it the next day, and pocket the change?

Land Use Act indeed!

This is the most detestable form of piracy.

My own question for Danjuma is: How much of the $100m are you giving back to the community you stole the land from?

Please o. . . does this under-28 team include Yakubu? 

Long gone are the days when I would pay good money to go to Naija matches in London. . . ever since that 4-1 trashing to Ghana, these chickens are not worth my time. . . every year its the same teams. . . Ireland, Ghana, Jamo, Paraguay. . . I expect the stadium to be empty.

Diaby injured?. . . I don suffer!

Una still dey argue the freekick?

Instead una go focus on Arsene Wenger and his ridiculously misplaced faith in Fabiansky, una dey here dey yarn megedefegede.

Where was Wenger in January when Tony Pulis was purchasing Asmir Begovic for just £3m?

From Richard Wright to Rami Shabhaan to Almunia to Fabianski. . . Wenger sure knows how to pick em.

Thunder fire Mancini for bringing Petrov on with only 5 minutes to go.

Thunder fire Barry for scoring that goal.

Thunder fire Tevez for going on paternity leave.




If any of these events had not occured, MEND FC would be through to the next round of the fantasy cup.

As it is, we have been eliminated by the slenderest of margins.


Tubabie FC is gonna feel the backlash next gameweek.

“Nigeria as a country would have been a failure if the Igbo race had been allowed to leave the country Nigeria because they have contributed immensely to the growth and development of this country,” he said.

Well, the Igbo will definitely be a success without the North and have no qualms about that. Therefore, this statement alone is tantamount to admitting that you are a parasite.

[quote author=OYB_MEND link=topic=397582.msg5505396#msg5505396 date=1266027554]BY THE WAY THE REUTERS NEWS CORROBORATES THE CLAIMS BY COMPASS. JUST THAT THE JOURNALISTS MAY HAVE CHOSEN DIFFERENT QUOTES FROM THE SAME SPEECH AND WOULD OBVIOUSLY HAVE DIFFERENT WRITTING STYLES.[/quote]Not at all. . . the Compass phrasing is pernicious and insidious and is deliberately phrased to create a false impression that Sanusi was talking explicitly about Jonathan.

^^^ So there you have the full story. . . you can believe Compass Newspapers, or you can believe Reuters. . . choose one!



Despite Babalola's and The Finance Ministry's full-fledged support for the reforms, it is difficult to know what Jonathan is thinking. Last month, he ordered banks to cease all downsizing and layoffs through the Ministry of Labour. This is not joined up with CBN's efforts at getting banks to maintain a treshold 10% Capital Adequacy ratio . . . . . on the other hand, I think Jonathan may be cautioned by foreign investors overwhelming support of the CBN banking reforms.

Okay. . . I have been reading the reports from the Businessday Conference. . . I think its fair to say that Compass Newspapers is being more than a bit mischievous here. . . anyway, no other Nigerian newspaper is reporting this. . . actually, most Nigerian Newspapers are reporting Babalola's speech at the conference where he says the Ministry of Finance is behind the reforms. . .



A Reuters report from the conference is the only one that makes mention of this exile statement, so lets put it in the right context:

http://www.iii.co.uk/news/?type=afxnews&articleid=7747544&subject=economic&action=article




LAGOS, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Nigeria's central bank on Thursday outlined the next step in reforms which could change the landscape of its financial sector by limiting the risks banks are allowed to take with depositors' funds. Central Bank Governor Lamido Sanusi said his banking reform programme was going "full steam ahead" with the support of acting Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan, dismissing concerns that President Umaru Yar'Adua's absence could stall momentum.

Jonathan assumed full presidential powers on Tuesday more than two months after Yar'Adua -- who had offered Sanusi strong public backing -- left for medical treatment in Saudi Arabia.

"The acting president has always been part of the decisions we have taken. He was always in key meetings, I have always briefed him, we are on the same page," Sanusi told reporters on the sidelines of a banking conference in Lagos.

The reforms aim to overhaul a banking sector until now characterised by swollen institutions concerned primarily with outstripping their rivals' asset growth at the expense of creating loans and growing their business.

Sanusi questioned the universal banking model and said an obsession with rapid growth without the right risk management frameworks had been at the heart of problems which led to last year's $4 billion bailout of nine weakly-capitalised banks.

"The CBN outline of the next phase of the banking reform programme could not have come at a more important time," said Razia Khan, head of Africa research at Standard Chartered.

"Given the (political) events of this week, and investor uncertainty about how things might play out, this will act to reinforce the view that reforms will continue," she said.

Sanusi said he wanted to separate banks' core lending business from more speculative capital markets activities -- such as stockbroking, asset management, private equity and venture capital -- to protect depositors' funds.
"They should risk their own funds," he said.

The central bank would introduce different capital requirements for banks depending on the activities they wanted to pursue and could regulate proprietary trading, he said.

"The question we are asking ourselves is must every bank compete in the same space, must every bank be an international bank. Can we not have regional banks, can we not have specialised banks," Sanusi said.


"NARRATIVE OF CORRUPTION"

Last year's bank bailout sent shockwaves through a corporate Nigeria which had been basking in the glory of being among the world's best performing frontier markets just 18 months earlier.

Sanusi acknowledged he had won powerful enemies by sacking bank chiefs responsible for reckless lending and publicly naming bad debtors including politicians and top businessmen. But he urged other regulators of the Nigerian economy to follow suit.

"The true narrative is that this is a narrative of corruption, the story of Nigeria," Sanusi said.

"Corruption fights back. I'm under no illusion as to the power of the people we are fighting ,  but I am ready. We can delay that day I go into exile if more people chip in and fight back," he told the conference, to a round of applause.

Sanusi said regulatory shortfalls, including at the central bank, had allowed liquidity to flow into capital markets at the expense of the real economy in the run-up to last year's crisis.

Edited. . .

hehehe. . . Aloy-Emekas thread says "Nigerian buys Gatwick". . . this one say na "Yoruba man buys Gatwick". . . a more correct description would be "Nigerian buys Gatwick on behalf of Fund shareholders".

@ Sauron, I know you are talking about Pirlo of 3 years ago, not the current Pirlo.

Story, story, story!!!

Lets be honest, the Police were sent to show Anaconda that there is a new sherriff in town, and to possibly look for documents implicating him in a bribery scandal to stall Jonathans appointment.

FFS, Serie A round-up looks like one of them youtube compilation videos.

rasputinn:
Soludo also formulated some very sound monetary policies that saw Nigeria having a hefty foreign reserves

I think you'll find that creating an excess crude fund to be convertible to foreign exchange reserves was instituted by the Ministry of Finance under Iweala, and not the CBN.

Have u watched football matches @ Allianz Arena with the way a drone travels across the pitch like the shyte is 3D?[/quote]Nah man. . . those focused cameras are rubbish. . . FFS, its not a freestyle show. . . one needs to see the whole picture, appreciate the position of the defenders and goalkeepers and teammates. . . its like playing Pro-Evo on the closest-range cam. . . you never get a sense of where your teammates and opposition defenders are. . .

Clichy was BRILLIANT in 07/08 up until the mistake at Birmingham. . . . and he should have made France's Euro 2008 squad very easily.

We should send Kanu to Benin Republic!!!

Jarus:

Another classic from Becomrich.

Benoit Assou-Ekotto

Florent Malouda

Richard Dunne always had it but lost it last season. Still, his performance this season is better than any season he ever played for Citeh.

Song was good from last season.

Diaby has never been rubbish, but he has also improved.

Gareth Bale showed a lot of improvement.


But of them all, FABREGAS is the most improved.

Whilst he has always been good, he never had the statistics to back him up. This season however, he has added goals and assists aplenty to his locker.
