Bauchi State Governor, Isa Yuguda has broken a world record! By appointing 952 personal assistants (broken down to 56 Senior Special assistants, 289 Special assistants, and 607 Personal assistants) one begins to wonder what is the real duty and responsibilities of a governor.

He must be running a parallel government and bypassing the whole Bauchi civil service completely!

Those senseless Almajiris can do and undo.[/quote]Better use your brain. . . why would Hausas in PH poison their wares and lose their trade, livelihood and life in the process? Aggrey Road nuccas would be waiting for any excuse to clear out the almajiris in their midst, so any such action by Hausa traders would be suicidal.

I think there should be a state department to monitor the kind of stories journalists are putting out namadays.

My Chelsea mate thinks we've blown the title by not establishing a decent lead by now. . . he can see Manure riding the crest of confidence with key stalwarts such as Vidic, Ferdinand et al on the verge of a return. . . he also cites the inconsistency of Chelsea's fancy football as being eerily similar to Ancelotti's inconsistent and fancy Milan side who only yielded one title in 7 years. . . we will see, but Im tempted to agree with him. . . .

Nateevs, save yarning with these c*nts. . . . I wonder whats giving these lot confidence to be yarning megedefegede. . . . their sudden show of confidence is as laughable as a ho's attempt to demand her rights from her p*mp. . . Debosky is still owing me £100 from our bet from last season's FA Cup. . . all I have to say is "double or nothing modasucka"! 

Rubbish. . . . I always believe in keeping a winning team. . . Drogbas introduction denied us width today, and he kept miscontrolling and mislaying all his passes, denying the midfielders the opportunity to get into the game. . . honestly, Drogba had less effect on the game than he did for CIV in the AFCON. . .

Drogba is killing our game. . .

I dont know what Ancelotti was thinking.

He played Alex against Burnley's small Darren Fletcher and Fletcher done him.

Now he's playing Carvalho against Hull. . . and we have no one with the physical profile to handle Altidore. . . Altidore is killing Terry out there.

Surely Carvalho should have played against Burnley and Alex against Hull.

Droooooooooooooooooooooooogbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

This game is not flowing man. . . something wrong. . . Drogba aint linking the play like Anelka did. . .

FFS. . . . what was Ballack doing there?

Don't buss a cap nigga! That link was just ma way of showing you that i'm not the only one who thinks Di Santo is crap! The guy is yet to score in the EPL or any other competition for that matter (i stand to be corrected) at least Kalinic scored a deuce in the CC and plays fewer games than Di Santo. His Argentina failed to make it to the U-20 WC so it clearly means their standard has dropped[/quote]first thing first, Di Santo has scored in the EPL this season and copped a few assists.

2nd thing 2nd, the South American Under-20 Championship serves as the Under-20 WC qualifier and Scolari did not allow Di Santo to go for that Championship last January cos he had fallen out with Drogba and was using Di Santo as cover for Anelka.

3rd thing 3rd. . . Kalinic did not score till 2 games ago. . . now he's scored a couple more since then, . . just goes to show that when the confidence comes, players take off. . . am hoping for the same from Di Santo.

Soludo's statement that "5 years is enough to turn around Anambra state" should let any interested observer know that Soludo is planning to run for President in 2015.

PDP or no PDP, I think Soludo should be given a chance.

He has a wealth of knowledge of economics which can be applied to get Anambra state productive. I also know that he has many ideas, having read some documents he produced while still CBN governor. He also has a lot of contacts in the International arena and can attract investment and philantropy to the state.

Given Soludo's exalted position as CBN Governor, I dont believe he would risk his reputation now by dipping extensively into Anambra coffers. He also has a reputation to uphold in light of the 2015 Presidential election.

Soludo 2011!

Lets see what a world renowned professional can offer us before looking at these local guys.

@ all talking about break-up, Naija will not break up until the army itself decides to break up. Until then, we will just continue to have different pockets of resistance and different warlords.

Having long held the view that One Nigeria is tenable under loose federalism, I am now of the view that nothing but complete break-up between North and South will keep this country viable. Lets face it, the religious and cultural differences are too stark for sustainable national unity. Although Im barely religious meself, in a country where everyone is deeply religious, the confluence of Radical Christianity and Radical Islam in Nigeria is unsustainable.

debosky:
People just like to re-write history on a whim - was it George Graham's defence that won the league with the best defensive record AND best attack in 2004?

Even up to the minor level I played footie, you know that once you step on the pitch, there is nothing the coach can do to organise the defence. . . the defence is only as good as its best organiser. . . if the manager has not been going over points in training, mistakes will be repeated. . .


If you have good defenders like John Terry, you better believe that there was nothing Avram Grant taught him on the training ground to help him organise his defence. . .


In 2004, there were many good defenders responsible for Arsenal's defensive dominance. . . Gilberto Silva, one of the best no-holds-barred defensive minded who grew up as a centre-back. . .  and Sol Campbell. . . not to mention Ashley Cole.


The premise of defending is simple. . . if the opposition has two strikers, you mark them with 2 defenders, then drop another defender 5 yards deeper to sweep up anything that drops

The premise of the flat back 4 is that the left back converts into a centre-back when the ball is in the right-back position. . . and vice-versa!. . . this ensures that the left back becomes the extra clean-up man in any situation. . . and vice-versa for the right-back!

Same thing applies if you are taking a set-piece. . . you must always have one more defender than the opposition has strikers!

You would not see these things from Wenger. . . check the game against Everton. . . Gallas is taking a freekick, with Pienaar as the closest to him. . . since Pienaar is there, it should be assumed that an extra defender will stay back to sweep up behind Gallas. . . but this doesnt happen. . . . what is Wenger teaching these boys?


Wenger didnt teach those 2004 nuccas nada. . . if he did teach those guys, he would also be teaching the current set of guys. . . Gallas being a field nucca, didnt sniff out the potential for danger, and never insured himself against it by asking a team mate to stand 5 yards behind him . . .


So yes, like I've said, Wenger leaves the defenders mostly to their own devices. . . if the defenders are House nuccas (like in 2004), they will cope. . . otherwise they will crumble. . .

On the 19th of January, 2010, Jos witnesses another crises barely a year after the town was engulfed in a Riot that claimed hundreds of lives.
Societymailonline authoritatively can reveal that Jos crises and the former one were all masterminded by the Generalss that are Barun indigenes.

The Generalss that are core indigenes believed that Plateau capital, Jos has been taken over by the Hausas/Fulanis who are mere settler in the State, the Hausas/Fulanis came to settle in Jos over 50years ago, but the core-indigenes bent in recapturing the capital and the entire State from them.

Religion factor is just a camouflage in all the mayhem, according to the source, there are other factors like Economic and political factor.

The Barun, the core indigenes of the State believe that economic of the State had been taken over by the Hausas and they are in total controls of the Jos market.

The indigenes, rich and powerful but they are all in their villages, and used it as their base, while the Hausas/Fulanis are in the capital dictating the political affairs of the State.

The Generals mastermind the crises in order to wipe out the strong Hausas both economically and political so as to recapture the State, especially they want to take over Jos North Local Government where Hausa is the chairman, besides, they believe Senator Mantu, the former Deputy Senate President, who is an Hausa/Fulani from Wase but have Jos as his political based is becoming too stronger in the State that is not his own zone, thereby making the political affairs and political offices more competitive in the State.

Also the Barun feel that the King Palace, Gwong of Jos is surrounded by the Hausas/Fulaniss, the non-indigenes, which they count as their enemy, this led to the burning and destructing of properties of the Hausas within and around the palace territory, according to the source core-indigenes, Baruns are the people parading Jos with fake police and solders to terrorise the Hausas/Fulanis.

The Barun has produce the most prominent and powerful Generals in the history of Nigeria army including Rtd. Gen. Gowon, Rtd. Gen. Domkat Bali, Rtd. Gen. Jeremiah Useni, Rtd. Gen. Dongoyaro and the State Governor Jang.

The Jos crises is been sponsors by the untouchable Generalss disclose the source.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=362333.msg5431284#msg5431284 date=1265103009]Naturally, Wenger will tweak things anti-clockwise and that defence will be tighter than a nun's fanny.[/quote]Wenger has no defensive instinct. . . . they made the same mistakes against y'all that they made against Stoke and Everton. . . and same as they always make. . . . what makes you think Wenger has ever been defensively competent in his life?

Thank God for George Graham who left him an already packaged defence. . . . as Wenger's former defensive coach (hired by George Graham) once said "Arsene has never given me instructions to carry out defensive training with the team, nor has he ever done any himself". . . .

How else do you explain a manager who sees the finer points of Silvestre, Cygan, Djorou and Kolo Toure (last 3 seasons) ?

nateevs:
I don't make mouth against any other team. . . but may my jaws jam if I don't make mouth against Arsenal. Look at it, the records speak for themselves.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Tell it like it is.

Any Gaynner thinking that 'cos RVP was allowed to score offside goals @ SB last season, Arsenal will repeat the feat is deluded.

Arsenal are our b@tches! Whether Prem, Carling Cup or FA Cup!

By Sunday, we will be 11 points ahead, locked in a 2-horse race with Manure.

Ibime i would also advise you peruse that link! Thats for you that thinks Franco Di Santo is the best thing since boli and epa[/quote]First of all, Di Santo is a good squad player, not the best thing since Boli and Epa.

It is pertinent to note that the Croatian wonderkid Nikola Kalinic is also in the Flop of the Season team, and they both play for Blackburn. This is solely due to Big Sam's preference for aimless high balls ala Kevin Davies style. His allround play for Blackburn has been good, although he exhibits nervousness in front of goal. Blackburns style of play isnt helping his nervousness either cos the only chances he gets are half-chances and such. Trust, you cannot be first choice for Argentina U-20's without a modicum of talent.

That list is discredited by Herita Illunga's presence in The flop of the season 11. Herita Ilunga should be in the top 5 leftbacks in the prem.

Its also discredited by Glen Johnson's presence in Team of the season.


[quote author=A-40 link=topic=362333.msg5429880#msg5429880 date=1265071385]Whatever Wenger does Denilson must not be within 100metres of Stamford Bridge on Saturday! He's been utter crap since the injury![/quote]Is that why he scored against Stoke and Everton?




@ Arsenal fans, Answer me dis:


Against Everton, y'all were killed on the counterattack. . . . Twice against Manure, also been killed on the counterattack. . . . As well as many other instances I cant pinpoint.

Everytime Arsenal take a corner or set-piece, the opposing team have just as much chance of scoring.

You have to blame Wenger and his team set-up.

Why do Arsenal always leave defenders 1-on-1 with strikers from counterattacks. The basic rule of defending is that you should always have one more defender than the opposition have strikers.

Denilson was running at his maximum to catch Nani. He cant help himself if he is naturally slow.

Im sure you all remember Fabregas chasing Ryan Babel in Champions League from Arsenal set-piece 2 seasons ago. Was it also Fabregas fault then?

How many times have you seen Deco and Mikel chasing counterattacks from Chelsea set-pieces. . . or Paul Scholes from Manure set-pieces?

For example, what is Arshavin doing in the box from set-pieces when he is useless at headers? Usually, the two full-backs (Clichy and Sagna) should be Arsenal's last men. Since Sagna is one of the taller members of the team, he would sometimes go up for corners. Why not drop Arshavin back in his place? He has the pace to stop counters, whilst he is useless in the air.

ritchboy:
your relationship with idiocy is based on solid foundations.
only a demented kunt-fart like Ibime would suggest Messi was as good as Ronaldo two seasons ago. If he wasnt as good as Ronaldo two seasons ago, but he's as good as him now, what do we call it if not fulfillment of his obvious POTENTIAL?
Ibime must be to simpletons what Jesus is to Christians, their MESSIAH!

You are a nincompoop of the highest order. In 05/06 and possibly 06/07, Messi was already as impressive as Ronaldo.

In 2007, Messi was 2nd place in WPOTY award while Ronaldo came 3rd. Ronaldo then came back to better Messi in 07/08, arguably the only season he's performed better than Messi since Messi started playing footie. . . then you want me to say Messi has potential to be as good as Ronaldo in 2008?

Do you want a cookie for your brilliant analysis of Messi's potential? I think you must have started watching footie 2 years ago and thought Messi was a nobody.

Your comparison is as silly as saying Alex Song has potential to be as good as Jon Mikel Obi.

My friend, dont ever discuss footie with me again. You are obviously retarded.

This guy is a decent guy. I've heard him yarning some decent things a couple of times, for example, over the fact that power-rotation is PDP's constitution, not Nigerias constitution, therefore Goodluck should take over.

Well, well, genocide is genocide and cannot be condoned.

Fear of domination in politics should be no excuse for carrying machetes to go and slaughter innocent women and children.

However justice is not selective. If Hausas want Beroms to produce Jang for trial, they should also produce all their mass murderers starting from 1960 till date.

^^^^hehehehe. . . . I think Gayynerism breeds 'crowd mentality'. . . . afterall, all these gaynners we see here today are the Nigerians who rushed to support Arsenal just cos Kanu was there. . . you see, they are known for following 'popular sentiment', whilst the more analytic of us go for teams like Chelsea, Bayern etc. 

When Nani was struggling in England, yet playing like a King for Portugal, it doesnt take a genius to know his problem in England is lack of continuity and confidence.

When Alex Song was the best defensive midfielder in Africa and the best player @ Charlton by a long mile, yet getting booed by Gayyners, it doesnt take a genius to know that Alex Song problem is lack of confidence.

When Ivanovic was chilling on Chelsea bench for 18 months and being written off by everyone, yet forming the best defensive partnership in Europe with Vidic, who was the first to back him?

All those dissing Denilson now, do you think Denilson has pace to be chasing players back on counter-attacks? Let Denilson do what he does best - keep possession in the middle of midfield! Is this the same Denilson who was wanted by all the top teams in Europe just a few games into his Arsenal debut?

It is well known that English footie fans and media dont know what they're talking about. Anyone will do well to ignore their opinions. Afterall, these are the same idiots who used to boo Owen Hargreaves regularly whenever he played for England.


Idiots on Nairaland come to spew bunkum based on the 'reigning' opinion, whilst proper footie heads pay attention to the game and form their own opinions. Imagine a nincompoop asking me why I wasnt comparing Messi's potential to Ronaldo 2 years ago, when Messi was already the best player at Barca and regularly getting into Fifpro World 11? Only a nincompoop would be talking about Messi as having potential to be better than Ronaldo 2 years ago when people in Spain were already arguing that Messi is better than Ronaldo, even in the middle of Ronaldo's 43 goal season. Has Ronaldo ever scored the kind of goal Messi scored against Getafe 4 years ago? This kind of idiot must be paying too much attention to the English press.

Cant wait for Dr Kit's post mortem on this game. . . . heads are gonna roll!!!

Egypt is nobody. Our kids did very well. They can hold their heads up high. Pound for pound, arabs are no match for africans when it comes to football. And our kids have shown that today.
