For where? Go to the religion section. And open the profile of NL's own foremost jihadist Abuzola. It pictures a certain hard-faced man, pointing with indignation, holding a placard that states "Islam will dominate the world".

This is what they want and they will not sleep nor slumber until they kill all the infidels.

Have you performed your civic duty of reporting Abuzola to the authorities like Farouk Muttallab's father reported him to the CIA?

I know this nucca. He used to preach in Brixton mosque. One of my muslim friends had a couple of his tapes.

Im surprised Gambia let this nucca in. Gambia should be careful. You wont find more moderate muslims than the Gambians but this doesnt augur well for the future. Already, theres a muslim-sponsored school in Brufut, Gambia which the locals call Al-Qaeda cos apparently the students in that school are being brainwashed. Which way Gambia? 

All this war on terror will never end. . . Bush opened a pandoras box. . . today its Afghanistan and Iraq. . . tomorrow Yemen, Iran and Somalia. . . . the only way to end this is to adopt a volte-face on middle-Eastern policy and withdraw all support for Israel. . . . thats the only way the Arabs will sheath their swords. . . those people too get strong-head. . .

What threatened to be a record-breaking week for MEND FC turned out to be an average week. I've even dropped to 37th on the table.

However Im still in the cup, with a 100% record in the newly formed Premier League format so I cannae complain.

Ray Wilkins took charge of dat match immediately FS left Chelsea won 3 : 1 I think FA cup fifth round feb last year.

Sorry. . . . Scolari's diamond formation drew with Southend in last seasons FA Cup. . . . which is even worse!!!

First lemme say that anyone advocating on behalf of Darren Bent should be banned from the Sports Section.

The argument against him at Tottenham was that he lacks the technique to play for Spurs . Now they wanna recommend him for Arsenal? 

His England debut against Uruguay a few years back exposed his technical deficiency. He looked like a duck out of water. . . . and he still does at the highest level.

There are many strikers in England who have scored 20+ goals a season who couldnt get into the England team cos they simply lacked technique. . . . Ian Wright, Dion Dublin etc. . . .

Dr Kitaun:
@Ibime

your comments about Gignac seems so true, but do u really think AW would want to buy him now that he isnt as hot as he was last season ?

I expect you should know that is Wenger's MODUS OPERANDI. . . . he loves signing players who are off-form or having problems with their club cos they come cheap. . . . Pires was literally on strike at Marseille when Wenger signed him. . . Vieira was on the bench at Milan, Henry was off-form on the left wing at Juve. . . . Gallas, Lassana Diarra and Flamini were having contractual disputes with Chelsea and Marseille respectively. . . . RVP and Hleb had fallen out with Van Maarjwick and Mathias Sammer respectively. . . .

The only on-form player that Wenger has ever signed is Arshavin.

If Gignac was quoted at £15m last season, I expect Wenger to cop him for £10m right now.

Thats why Stan Kroenke and the rest of em are falling over themselves to buy Arsenal shares and thats why the share price keeps rising. . . .which other manager can turn a profit year on year in this climate?. . . . I dare say that as soon as Wenger leaves Arsenal, the shareprice will drop sharply!  

Dr Kitaun:
YET . . .Eduardo is not still getting it right, forget the fact that he scored the winner . . .what of the squandered chances ? what about the fact that opponent defenders don’t even feel thre atened by his presence . . .I BET EDUARDO IS STILL AT ARSENAL COS OF HIS TRAUMATIC INJURY EXPERIENCE , Arsenal defo will not turn its back on a player in that manner BUT LET HIM WAKE UP . . .TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN MUCH IS EXPECTED !!!

You av hit the nail on the head. . . . Eduardo cannot run in behind, he cannot work the channels, he cannot play with his back to goal and he cannot spin defenders. . . . he used to be able to do some of these things, but since the injury, I am not seeing it!!!

Even if he scores 20 goals a season, I dare say the opportunity cost of deploying Dudu instead of a genuine front man is too high. . . . he has nothing to offer the team. . . he might as well be the new Michael Owen.

[quote author=kay_pumpin link=topic=362333.msg5246461#msg5246461 date=1262616063]Didnt you verbosely infer the same about RVP's inability to flourish as the point man in a 4-3-3 formation earlier in the season [/quote]Ibime is never wrong!!!

First of all, it takes foresight to know that the introdution of Arshavin precipitates the need for a change of formation to 4-3-3 as opposed to the 4-4-2 that held previously.

Secondly, our argument was WHETHER RVP CAN PLAY A FULL SEASON ON THE WINGS in a 4-3-3.

My opponents believed that RVP would have no problem doing so.

Wenger agreed with me, thats why RVP was deployed as a striker, rather than a winger. Wenger knows!!!

Credit must go to RVP for mastering the lone striker role. Not even Nastradamus would have seen that coming. However Ibime was right in saying that going on antecedents, RVP would not enjoy playing on the wings all the time!!!

[quote author=kay_pumpin link=topic=375453.msg5249701#msg5249701 date=1262648056]How i wish siena has a branch of his office in Nigeria

I have virtually the same problem with my V8 grand cherokee,it all started after i serviced the car,a poignant,thick,carbon-like smoke and particles that comes most times when i am in a hold up with its attendant shaking/vibration of the car engine was the first step in what has now become a conundrum of some sort.

I was advised by Sultaan then to change the car engine oil to Mobil XHP 20W 50[used AP oil for the first servicing]which i did ang with changing all the plugs.The black smoke continued with an alarming fuel consumption.I was forced to go scan the car which indicated that i should change the injector,the coils[right hand side] and the catalyst switch which i did change, all this inclusive of all the plugs again[suffice to state this was all under like 2 months] and the oil[extremely black for a 2 weeks old oil by the time it was drained]

The problem still persists till now[shaking/vibration of the car engine when at a stand still or in a hold up and black smoke] and i am really confused as it just seems my mechanic is really taking a piss right now advising i scan again and change the noozzles

PS;Sultaan this is why i was asking for your email before the holidays.You can kindly mail me here @ kay_pumpin79@yahoo.com so we can chat as soon as i am online.You seem to know much about this brand hence my insistence.Thanks in advance mate [/quote]Perhaps you need to check the airbox. . . . maybe the filter isnt working properly and dust particles are getting into the engine. . . .

That is a big lie!. . . No single player in Chelsea has a better first touch than Mikel.

Oh snap. . . forgot about Mikel. . . . yes, Studge is only second to Mikel on first touch.

Thank God!!!

It was definitely 4-3-3 with attacking fullbacks ala Barcelona.

I dont know what you're saying about Borini being preferrable to Studge at this moment. Borini got more movement, but Studge's first touch is the best first touch in the whole Chelsea squad!!!

I know cos Im left-footed like Studge and my first touch is also exquisite like his!!! 

Theres something magnetic about a left-footed player picking holes through defences on simple touch alone.

If you think Borini hs more vision than Studge, you must also be daydreaming. Studge's vision for a pass DID NOT LOOK OUT OF PLACE WHEN HE PLAYED WITH ROBINHO AND STEPHEN IRELAND. Studge is known for the quality of his through passes.


Zhirkov also killed it in central midfield.

Matic does not have the stamina to compete with Belletti at DM. Whilst Matic is extremely neat on the ball, his stamina and speed leave a lot to be desired. He needs another 2 years playing in England to grow into an effective central midfielder.

When I told nuccas on NL last year that Wellbeck is shite, they thought I was just hating.

I know talent when I see it. Luke Chadwick >>>> Wellbeck.

Can you imagine that spindly legged baby giraffe telling SAF that he doesnt wanna go out on loan cos he wants to force his way in United first team. Someone should tell that nucca hes not even good enough for the Championship!!!!

I think Wellbeck mumsie must be servicing SAF.

Either that or Fergie must be going senile.

FFS!!!

When will the myopic Diaby traducers show remorse for their gross mischaracterisation of the great Ivorian?  

Some dudes just dont know nada about footie. For how long will they continue to mis-analyse the talents of top gunners like Diaby and Song?  


Anyone deducing that Eduardo is the answer must not understand the question.

His header was out of kilter with his overall performance, and anyone lauding his talent now will cringe when his ephemeral genius is revealed to be nothing but the proverbial flash in the pan over the fullness of time.

debosky:
Ibime you must be a simpleton if you feel 4-3-3 against Watford of all sides is proof of anything. I wager playing 4-6-0 would still have won this game hands down.

Scolari's diamond failed to beat the same Watford in last seasons FA Cup.

Whilst any formation could have won the match, what wowed the commentators was the return of width to the Chelsea team.

nateevs:
@Ibime.

the match was not live on TV and I cannot confirm or deny that we played a 4-3-3.
It will be replayed at 12am on ChelseaTV and I have it on reminder to watch then. .

I will give a verdict on what happened.

I can confirm we played 4-3-3 cos I heard it on the radio. Im just about to watch the highlights on ITV now.

Kudos to Uncle Carlo for having the humility to admit that his tactics werent working and changing them for the betterment of the team.

How market?

@ Nateevs,

As you can see, Uncle Carlo changed the system to 4-3-3 today and we wallopped Watford.

A far cry from Scolaris 0-0 draw against the same opponents last season.

We can play the 4-3-3 with or without Drogba.

She owns the buildings that the bank operates from.

The bank pays her to live in her own house.

The bank is homeless, she has many homes, yet the bank pays for her home.

Hoooooooooooooooooooow maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarket?  


Worst United team I've ever seen in my life.

And some idiots will say Man Utd do not miss Ronaldo.

Citeh to complete the job in midweek!!!

Its funny how this simple measure works like magic.

Anyone who can implement such a measure will turn Nigeria around in the space of 30 days.

I would have voted for Je Soul, but I just remembered that she chats pure GOP rubbish against my boy Obama. 

Dont know much about Sissy and Stillwater cos I hardly stray from Politics, Sport and Rap section.

Therefore I vote for Aisha2, a kindhearted humanitarian with a good grasp of local politics.

So mama-gee bites other peoples work too?

I remember mama-gee accusing me of lifting poems from the internet without evidence.

What a bloody nuisance this young girl is.

Im sure her picture profile is also plagiarised from some fine young lady.

And if that really is her picture, all I have to ask is: where did it all go wrong?

I think Le Prof will go for Gignac. . . . he fits the profile of what Arsenal need a lot more than Chamhakh. . . . he is strong, tall enough and excellent with his back to goal. . . . he lacks the skill of Chamakh but for a 4-5-1, he's adept at playing the lone striker role, which I dont think Chamhakh is most suited to play. . . . plus, Gignac isnt having the same season this year as he did last, so I think he would be cheaper this time around. . . .

Another person Arsenal can go for is Jo. . . . his talent has been wasted at Man City and Everton. . . . so far in England, he's only played for teams who play high-balls, and balls into the channels for him to chase, and that is not his strength cos he's not the fastest. . . . however Jo would be brilliant for teams that play the ball into feet just like Arsenal. . . . Jo is a no 10, not a no 9, and infact, when he was at CSKA, he was the left-footed carbon-copy of Kanu. . . . at £7m, I think he would be snip for a manager who knows how to deploy him properly. . . . if a quintessential no10 like RVP can play the lone man role for Arsenal, then Im sure Jo can also do it. . . .

I dont believe it myself. . . . but no smoke without fire it seems. . .


http://www.compassnews.net/Ng/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=37652:efcc-uncovers-cecilia-ibrus-trillion-naira-assets&catid=48:saturday-compass&Itemid=699




IF findings by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are anything to go by, then the embattled former Managing Director of Oceanic Bank Plc, Mrs Cecilia Ibru must have continually laughed at the authors of the Forbes list of the world’s richest persons to scorn, each year that they left her out in their ranking of the affluent across the globe.

Last year, Forbes listed oil magnate, Mr Femi Otedola as joining another prominent businessman, Alhaji Aliko Dangote as members of the prestigious club. The duo and two other black people worldwide were so listed, with Dangote being ranked 261 with an estimated worth of $2.5 billion and Otedola in 601 position with $1.2 billion.

But, with the EFCC findings, the two Nigerian businessmen may be mere mere “boy scouts” in a contest requiring soldiers, among whom she is a General.

The assets already traced to her are in the region of trillions of Naira. Yet, the investigators are still counting. In fact, a top official of the commission told the Nigerian Compass on Saturday that the investigators had become weary because of the tons of wealth being traced to her daily.

The Nigerian legal system is accusatorial and not inquisitorial, meaning that the onus of proof that the vast property traced to her is illegal rests on the accusers and not that the mere possession is proof of any guilt or that she must explain how she got it.

Mrs Ibru will soon have her day in court as she is currently facing charges of money laundering and fraudulent conversion of depositors funds. She recently got court’s leave to travel abroad on medical grounds.

The EFCC’s investigators are currently working hard to link alleged missed funds to the vast property traced to the former bank boss.

Her assets in shares, allegedly bought through proxies and companies traced to her, are well in excess of one trillion Naira.

Even now, and in spite of the economic meltdown at the capital market, the ownership of millions of Naira worth of shares is no mean achievement.

Through what EFCC sources referred to as a maze of investments, the amazon of the Ibru family floated several companies that bought heavy shares in blue chip businesses, including her former bank. Such companies include Cloudy Heights, Bliss Bloss and Circular Global which she used to acquire over 275 million shares in First Bank Nigeria Plc (275,795,139). The companies also bought over 64 million shares in Union Bank of Nigeria (64, 218,000); over 93 million shares in the United Bank for Africa (93,750,000); while in her bank, Oceanic Bank Plc, the companies went over the billion shares mark (1,076,220,421).

Another company traced to her, Velvox, bought over 13 million shares in Oando (13, 200,000) and other shares put at 388 million. Yet another company, Enifor, bought 600 million shares in BGL Plc.
The list continues. Yet another compnay believed to be owned by her, Prisky Gold bought 48.8 million shares in Access Bank Plc, over eight million (8,140,500) in Dangote Flour, over 12 million (12,480,000) in Dangote Sugar Refinery and 12.5 million in Fidelity Bank.

The others by Prisky Gold are over 27 million shares (27,434,791) in First Bank; more than 25 million (25,316,400) in Japaul Oil; 10, 280,000 in Zenith Bank and , wait for it , 200 million shares in Transcorp Plc. Her Africa Lloyd bought another set of shares well above 400 million (431,201,702) in her Oceanic Bank.

The list is much longer.

And, on offshore property, Mrs Ibru is truly an amazon. A list of 11 of such buildings in Maryland shows that for any property to stand a chance of attracting her attention it must be in the average of $400,000. “Many more are being discovered daily in California,” the EFCC source disclosed. The ones currently discovered in Maryland, U.S.A. include 4155 Chariot Way, Upper Marlboro, bought for $452,508,00 on March 12, 2009 with the name Anita Dasilva Ibru; 4145 on the same Chariot Way for $440,105.00 also by Anita Dasilva Ibru a month after (April 14, 2009).

The list also include the property on 4139 on the same Chariot Way, bought with the name Edesiri Onatejerohene Ibru on April 21, 2009 for $451,629.00. Three more houses have been traced to her on Chariot Way. They are 4149 bought in the names of Obaro and Hirut Ibru for $473,657.00 also on April 21, 2009; 4141, bought for $441, 790 in the names of Cecilia Ibru on April 13, 2009; and 4143, also in her names, again on April 13, 2009, for $439,362.00. It may therefore not be an overstatement to say that she owns almost the entire stretch of Chariot Way.

Four others, bought in the names of Janet Ibru are on Upper Malboro. They are House Number 14605 on Hawley Lane, Upper Malboro, Maryland, which was bought for $399,990.00.00 on July 22, 2008 and the property on Number 14630 also on Hawley Lane, which was acquired for $460,703.00 on May 17, 2008.

The rest are House number 14721 on Argos Place, also in Upper Malboro, bought on October 28, 2008 for $457,950.00; 14719, again on Argos Place, bought for $451,840.00 on November 26, 2008 and the one one 11300 Dappled Grey Way, also on Upper Malboro, acquired by Cecilia Ibru on October 7, 2008 for $987,949.00

. . . . if you've watched the film Scarface, you would know that Tony Montana was also not right in the head. . . . many drug dealers ave some mental issues, therefore should they all be pardoned?

Happy New Year to all fantasy league members. . . on a personal level, I wish you all success. . . on a fantasy league level, I hope your goalies and defenders concede 2 goals per game, and your strikers all break their legs. Amen!!!

My threat of cutting the fantasy league to 50 teams has been deferred to 31st January upon suasion by Debosky. Y'all better make that cut off. . . . or get cut off!!!

Wendoworld can make supplications to me through my First Bank account. I will take into consideration his relatively late enrollment to the league, and perhaps spare his team. . . . for a little compromise.

Err'one else, most especially Debosky need to make supplications to the gods of FPL. My intent to trim the league is non-negotiable.

Happy New year boys and girls. . . I hope the new year heralds success for all of you. . . Im sure y'all will reap the best the Lord has to offer in 2010. Amen!!!

Correction. . . . Lampard came second in both the WPOTY and Ballon D'or awards, not third . . . y'all get your facts right. . .

Am a big fan of Lamps, but at this moment Cesc is on a level that Lampard has never reached in his whole career

This must be a joke!

Can someone answer the following questions:


(1.) Why should Obasi be on standby for Martins. So if Martins recovers from injury, Obasi will be out of the squad?  Shouldnt Eneramo be on standby instead? Only a doofus like Amodu would prefer Eneramo to Obasi.

(2.) Is Nnwaneri better than Adeleye? So why is Adeleye not in the squad?

(3.) Why is Ajilore not in the squad?

(4.) In continuation of (3.), we already have enough DM's with Keita and Ayila, so what is Olofinjana doing in the squad in place of Akilore?

(5.) Why is Kalu Uche still in the squad?



Left to me, I would draw the curtain on the Super-Eagles careers of Kanu and Aiyegbeni. I dont know what them quadragenarians are still looking for in the SE.
