Haba. How many Nigerians do you know that rely on and are sustained by baked clay?[/quote]How many Haitians do you know that rely on and are sustained by eating leather (kpomo)?

If its edible, its edible.



[quote author=Tayo-D link=topic=381721.msg5325916#msg5325916 date=1263599851]Isn't the little money they have a result of the benevolence of other nations? I believe Haiti is the biggest recipient of foreign aid the world over[/quote]When Haiti became an Independent nation during Slavery, who do you think they were gonna export produce to? Were any European countries gonna buy goods from Haiti? Haiti has had to survive as an isolated nation from its inception and has never had the capital to build wealth unlike its Dominican counterpart who traded freely with the Spanish and Europe.



[quote author=Tayo-D link=topic=381721.msg5325916#msg5325916 date=1263599851]Which makes it more pathetic. This makes me ask the same question posed by Davidylan: "What is wrong with the Black African?" Could Haiti's problem be compounded by the fact that the average Haitian is heavily accented with a very low light-skin index? [/quote]Theres nothing wrong with the Black African. 3000 years ago, the White European was looking over at the Middle-East and saying "Look how civilised those motherphuckers are whilst we are here killing each other and living in serfdom. The white race must be cursed."

The Black race of today is exactly where the white race was before the industrial revolution. Everybody has their own time for development.

Even today, the American Indian race is looking at the Black race and saying "We must be cursed. Those black motherphuckers have their own countries, and we dont even have a single country to call our own. We have been made extinct in our own lands."


Evo Morales is the first indigenous Indian President of an Indian nation - 2005.

Jean-Jacques Dessalines of Haiti is the first black President of a black nation - 1804.


Who is leading?

See Nigerians discussing why Haiti is phucked up. . .  .hehehehe. . . meanwhile Haitians are wondering why Nigeria is phucked up. . . . whilst most Haitians are living on $2 a day, most of my Nigerian brothers are living on $1 a day.

Haiti is the only country in the world born from slave revolt. They have shown more balls for fighting oppression than any Nigerians have shown in their miserable life.

Y'all quit the chat and focus on Nigeria. . . . and if you live on more than $1 a day, kindly donate the excess to our Haitian brothers in need.

ezeagu:
As for the Ijaw, all those years being under the Igbo, intermarrying, trading cultures, and they happened to be from Benin after all? That is so mind boggling, but it's obvious that they came from there, because Igbo people didn't inhabit places now known as Ijaw land because they are afraid of water, they just left a huge piece of land under them for the Ijaw/Benin people to fill. The fact that every explorer on planet Earth that has come to the 'Bight of Biafra' has mistaken the Igbo for Ijaw and Ijaw for 'Ebo country' is just a coincidence, what do they know anyway, it's not like outsiders created countries for us.

Nna mechonu dia!

[s]We didnt land on Plymouth rock, Plymouth rock landed on us.[/s]

Igbos didnt leave the delta for Ijaws to fill. . . . the Ijaws left the upland for the Igbos to fill!!!

The Oru-Ijaw people are the aborigines of Nigeria.

Benin is simply one of our migratory routes, not the origin of our existence. We were the first to set foot in Benin, Warri, and everywhere in else in Nigeria we passed on our way southward.

We didnt originate from Benin. Benin originated from us.

Whats all this brouhaha?

Why shouldnt Haiti recieve free money that these kindly oyinbo people are willing to donate.  

Even Afghanistan donated money to the victims of hurricane Katrina. . . . abi is anyone beyond free handout?  

Can anyone confirm whether this is the first case of a football club issuing a corporate bond or not?


What is the interest on this bond, and is it convertible?

I feel like buying some of these bonds, so I can take ownership of Manure if Glazers default on the payments. 

Some quick news that came through last night. . . .


Chelsea ordered to pay £3.5m initial fee for Daniel Sturridge.

Also an additional £0.5m when he makes 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 first team appearances.

Plus another £1m if he earns a full England cap.

Citeh are also entitled to 15% of any sell-on fee.



If all these happen, Chelsea will pay £7m for Sturridge in total.

I dont know about you guys but £5m - £7m is the price I'd place on Sturridge anyway.

Not a bad piece of business.

OAM4J:
Wrong. Tunde Bakare is from Ogun state. Abeokuta precisely.

Whatever the case. . . . any seperation of North and South may also seperate the Yoruba nation. . . thats why I said that only Yoruba man can say that "North and South are inseperable" with conviction.

Katsumoto:
So a Yoruba xtian pastor is advocating that the North and South can not separate because of Yoruba muslims?

Please explain what you mean by that.

There you have it. . .

[quote author=aloy*emeka link=topic=381735.msg5319511#msg5319511 date=1263535661]Tunde Bakare is from Kwara state and his state will fly the Arewa flag in case of North/south separation. What will you say if it were you?[/quote]

Anyone who has seen Venezuelan inflation rate knows the kwantry is heading for trouble under Chavez. . . . too much public investment is crowding out private investment, causing serious inflation and rise in interest rates. . . . this makes it risky for the private sector to do business cos their returns are nuanced by rising interest rates and inflation.

I hope Chavez will take a more measured approach and develop a quasi-private economic system which incentivises entrepreneurship and private initiative, whilst still keeping public provision of only the most basic services - infrastructure, education and basic health.

Only a Yoruba man would think North and South is inseperable. . . . because of the significant no of Yoruba muslims on the other side of the divide.

That is the only crease that needs to be ironed in any seperation of North and South.

Some quick thoughts. . . will be back over the weekend with something more substantive. . . .



You ride Okada. . . maga. . . posing with a vehicle/

there is no such thing as "fitness in football", FITNESS IS FITNESS. Its a PHYSICAL thing. Only TECHNICAL attributes are tied to a sport i.e shooting, passing, dribbling vary from sport to sport. EEDEEYOT!

Mugu, have you ever seen a marathon runner in the gym lifting weights to build his strength?

Or a weight lifter running miles to improve his stamina?

Different sports require different components of fitness.

A players stamina defines a players fitness in football. End of.


Im done arguing nonsense with you. Someone who cant even admit that a player a who covers 1km per game more than  player b is fitter than player b is not worth my time.

Abagworo:
@bolded.personally(though without evidence), i share that view.i have a lot of friends from angola and zambia whose names sound igbo.it is said that some igbo slaves were settled there but the language they speak is entirely different.there is repeated occurence of thesame words but with different meanings.Congo might be the actual root of most nigerian tribes and not middle east.

Of course Igbos came from Congo area. . . . their stature is a forest-dweller stature. . . even in behaviour, Igbos and Congolese are similar. . . . including dress sense!

ritchboy:
Ibime
i have already given you "my" definition of fitness. It's a combination of physical attributes such as stamina, strength, balance, agility, jumping. Let me score them off the top of my head on a scale of 1-10.
Lampard:
stamina - 9
strength - 5
balance - 6
agility - 4
jumping - 3

Gerrard:
stamina - 9
strength - 7
balance - 7
agility - 6
jumping - 5

Essien:
stamina - 9
strength - 9
balance - 8
agility - 7
jumping - 7

Essien:40
Gerrard:34
Lampard:27

hahahahaha. . . . pure rubbish. . . . in football, fitness means stamina and nothing else. . . .  end of.

Lemme show you how silly your definition is:


Titus Bramble:

Stamina: 3
Strength: 10
Balance: 5
Agility: 3
Jumping: 9


Andre Arshavin:

Stamina: 8
Strength: 1
Balance: 8
Agility: 8
Jumping: 1


Total:

Titus Bramble: 30
Andre Arshavin: 26


Based on your criteria, Titus Bramble is fitter than Andre Arshavin!


MUGU!

Fitness in football simply means how much can you run.



And by the way, who told you Gerrard is stronger than Lamps? Definitely not by two points if at all.

Have you seen anyone push Lamps off the ball?

Is strength not a function of weight and centre of gravity?

Go and check Lampards weight, then check Gerrards weight. Theres a 6 kilogram difference in favour of Lamps.

Soon you will tell me its cos Gerrard has more muscles.

Dem done band you again?

jalether:
the misleading nature of stats, it doesn't tell the whole story like Ritchie said stats will tell you Lamps is better than Iniesta and it's interesting how

It is a different league with a different style of play and played against different opponents. In Spain for example, they have more passes, run less kilometres and convert less set pieces. Also, they do not fulfill the same role, unlike Lamps and Gerrard.

If we do judge them, we would judge them within constraints, but the judgement would be more qualitative than quantitative.

Iniesta's passing stats are infinitely better than Lamps because Barca take more touches than Chelsea. Have you checked Iniestas successful dribbles stats in comparison to Lampard?

If I say Lamps is a better scorer than Iniesta, am I wrong?

Stats tell me Iniesta is a better passer and better dribbler. Lampard is a better scorer. . . . .now I can make a judgement on who is better overall and say Iniesta is better overall.



In Lamps/Gerrard case, stats tell me Lamps is a better passer, assister, scorer, tackler, runner. . . .they play in the same league, and in the same role. . . .and last season at least, Liverpool performed better than Chelsea, so the team they play for doesnt come into it.

So which single variable should I use to conclude that Gerrard is better than Lamps?


Km covered per game. Na Lampard get am
Goals scored. Na Lampard
Passes made. Na Lampard
% successful passes. Na Lampard
Tackles made. Na Lampard
Blocks made. Na Lampard
Assists made. Na Lampard
Key passes made. Na Lampard
% successful crosses. Na Lampard
Corners won. Na Lampard
Freekicks won. Na Lampard


Please give me just one statistic to put Gerrard ahead of him.

Or you want me to rely on two wonder strikes against West Ham (against a body of contrary evidence) to conclude that Gerrard is better than Lamps?

MUGU!

ritchboy:
How do you define a FIT person(i'll give u permission to consult a dictionary for this).

How do you define fitness?

Give me YOUR definition, and I will use it to prove that Lamps is fitter than Gerrard and Essien.

ritchboy:
B. When gerrard & lampard used to play together without Barry, who held his POSITION for the other to venture forward?

Mugu, the only time Gerrard has ever held for Lampard was in 2003-2005.

Since then, Gerrard has played right-wing, left-wing, and second striker. . . . all with the LICENCE to go forward.

Since 2008, Gerrard has all freedom to go forward from his left wing position, whilst Lamps and Barry have to hold for him.

What is the reason for Gerrards poorer return?

Like I told you, go and check Gerrards goals for England. . . . plenty plenty goals against Andorra and Trinidad and Tobacco. . . . Gerrard has never scored against a big team in his life except in the 5-1 trashings of Germany and Croatia.

@ Sauron,

Now Gerrard is out of the FA Cup. 


Oh Xabi Alonso, where art thou?

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=376903.msg5309088#msg5309088 date=1263411192]If Capello has balls, he must exempt Gerrard from the central midfield roles cos he will kill England's dreams again in South Africa.
There is ONLY one reason Liverpool haven't been able to win the Premier League for 20 years: Steven Gerrard!!![/quote]We have heard all their excuses. . . . they said Lamps scored and made goals because of the midfielders behind him. . . .are Essien and Ballack better than Alonso and Mascherano?. . . . is Drogba better than Torres?. . . . are Kalou/Malouda/Joe Cole better than Riera, Benayoun and Kuyt?

Gerrard has an equally efficient supporting cast around him. . . of the same level as Lamps.

The reason Liverpool perform worse than Chelsea must be either Benitez or Gerrard! 

ritchboy:
He wasnt dropped for protection. He was dropped cos he was SH.T! U cited one game gerrard played badly for england, well lampard is ALWAYS SH.T in black & white/red!
At the world cup, he couldnt manage a single shot on target despite having over 30 attempts, SHAME!
Gerrard plays far better for England than lampard. Only a Frank-a-pologist like yourself would dispute this!

Lamps always plays shite for England, thats why he was top-scorer in 2006 WC qualifying and Euro 2004. Thats why he was English national team player of the year in 2004 and 2005.

Thats why hes scored more goals for England than Gerrard in less appearances.

What is Gerrards litany of excuses for his poor performances for 9 years for England. . . . that he cannot get the no8 shirt.

The problem started in 2006 when Gerrard was riding on the wave of 2 wonder goals in FA Cup final.

He started complaining in the press that Lamps is taking his spot.

English fans had been brainwashed to believe they would win the World Cup if only Gerrard was given the no8 shirt.  

The fickle fans started to boo Lamps. . . . just like they used to boo Hargreaves. . . .everyone started pushing pressure on McLaren to drop Lamps. . . he may have done so against Andorra. . . no one knows. . .  but the official line is that Lamps was injured.

Anyway, Lamps was back the next game. . . then got injured. . .

Lucky for Gerrard, he got the shirt when Lamps was injured. . . and proved an absolute disaster against Russia.

4 years later, Lamps still has the no8.

A wise head like Capello recognised that Lamps has won the midfield battle.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/international/article4903404.ece

After 8 years of struggling with Lamps (and losing) for the no8 shirt, one would assume that time itself has proved Lamps superior in that position.

Now, go and check the teams Gerrard has scored most of his England goals against, then go and check Lamps

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=376903.msg5308937#msg5308937 date=1263409389]Even after reading Mourinho's comment, you still think Essien is a fitter player?
I was once told semi-illiteracy is even worse than illiteracy.
With illiterates, they believe whatever you tell them(lies n truths) but with retards(semi-illiterates) like you who think they know it all, they end up learning nowt. The lies become the truth for them and the truth is a fiction.[/quote]Ritchboy has never once produced any evidence to back up all his conjecture. . .

The simple reason is, there is no evidence!

Lampard is the fittest player in the Prem. Fitter than Essien, fitter than Gerrard. Thats why he's always in the box to score goals. End of.

If he had some humility to inquire further, I would have told him that Lampard has been diagnosed with a large heart, and thats probably the reason why he has more lung power than most, coupled with his dedication to training.

Now Ritchboy is changing mouth to claim that because of strength, Essien is fitter than Lampard. If strength is now the new measure of fitness, Danny Shittu and Titus Bramble should be the fittest players in the whole Premiership! 

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=376903.msg5308687#msg5308687 date=1263406560]Euro 2004. . . . .England 1-2 France.

Go and check all the newspaper reports, or listen to the MOTD commentary. . . . they tried to make David James look incompetent, instead of blaming Gerrard.

Ritchboy wouldnt remember cos he was living in Oluyole at that time. . . . probably still is.


Just goes to show that Gerrard is untouchable in the English press.

Thats why a writer will come out to tell you that Lampard is a better passer, creator, scorer, more efficient and better tactically. . . . then tell you that Gerrard shades it over Lamps based on the fact that "he carries the crowd on a wave of emotion" and other intangible qualities.

It is career suicide to criticise Gerrard in the media.


[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=376903.msg5308762#msg5308762 date=1263407474]Don't belabour the obvious, Ritchboy is an air-head.
Apart from Cristiano Ronaldo when he was here, i don't know any other player as fit as Lampard in the EPL.
He doesn't stop running and at his age, he deserves all the credits.[/quote]Lamps will play at top-level till 35. Soon as Gerrards pace is gone (31 or 32), he'll be finished. Thats when he will have to rely on his non-existent technique in tight spaces.

ritchboy:
Lampard averages more appearances than essien. Is lampard a fitter player than Essien? Sauron you are embarrassing urself!

You must be a nincompoop if you think Essien is fitter than Lampard. . . .is it because you see Essien running at full speed that you think he has more stamina?

Mourinho said that analysis shows that, on average, Lampard runs 13 kilometres (eight miles) a match. "If you multiply that by 114 matches it's a big engine and a special car,"

http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/lampard-approaches-record-546703.html


Last month Lampard broke the Premier League record for successive appearances and has now played 161 on the trot, never missing since Oct. 13 2001. It is a remarkable record, snatched from goalkeeper David James, for a midfielder and especially a classic box-to-box player who, Mourinho says, runs more kilometres per game than any of his players.

http://ia.rediff.com/cms/print.jsp?docpath=/sports/2005/dec/16lamp.htm


Why do you think Lamps is the only midfielder in the box when shite goes down?


Go and check Essiens running stats. . . . I've checked em before. . . Essien is a 12km a game man. . . .surprise, surprise, Ballack covers 12.5km. . . . more than Essien.

I have checked Gerrards stats before and Gerrard is also a 12km man like Essien.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/article722711.ece


You see. . . . it is only lightweights like yourself that see a player running at fullspeed (Gerrard, Essien) and automatically assume that he is fitter than a slower player (Lampard).


Educate yourself!

None of your arguments on this thread have been based in fact.

ritchboy:
In any case, i remember lampard wearing the NUMBER 15 SHIRT and sitting on England's BENCH for some games not so long ago.

Lamps has never been dropped for Gerrard, despite Gerrards unending media campaign for the no 8 shirt.

Only once possibly could he have been benched. . . against Andorra. . . . they said he had an injured hand, but I believe it was to take him out of the firing line cos England fans had been worked up into such a hateful frenzy, they started booing Lamps claiming he was holding Gerrard back.

Gerrard soon got his chance to claim the no8 shirt when Lamps was injured against Russia. . . . and he disgraced himself. . . . giving the ball away umpteen times, unable to keep possession, and ensuring that England could not cross the halfway line. . . . in effect, that loss against Russia knocked England out of Euro 2008 qualifying.


Adios!
