The Western countries are just looking for new markets, of which environmental services are forefront in their thinking.

Rotational Presidency is a ruse.

When the Northerners talk of rotational presidency, what they mean is that they reserve the right to choose the president, even when the president is from the south.

Case in point: OBJ being chosen to represent the West instead of Olu Falae who would have been the more natural choice for most Westerners.

Dont be deceived by rotational Presidency. The North will never allow an Igbo man to rule Nigeria. When its Igbo man turn, you would start hearing another story.

Any country that cannot respect its own constitution is not fit to be called a country. Even the Switzerland being mentioned respect their constitution.

Made Darren Bent my captain expecting that Drogba, Fabregas, Arshavin and Eduardo would cancel each other out tomorrow - FAIL!!!

hehehehehehe. . . . . Krayola, pls fedex me some of that stuff!!!. . . . . Im guessing it is Thai red-string that you are using these days!!!

If the Arses fail to take points off Chelsea, i trust Bellamy and Adebayor to do it.

Either way. . . . . .Advantage United!!![/quote]You thunk Citeh can beat Chelsea?. . . . I laugh in Congo-Brazzaville!

Cristalz:
These two are no strangers to each other on the pitch; however this is the first time Arsene Wenger is up against Carlo Ancelotti.

Are you sure about that?

I can feel it in the air. . . . tension everywhere. . . . Gaynners discussing all sorts of tactical formations needed to beat the mighty Blues. . . . . lets go 4-3-3  , No, 4-4-2  , no, we need pace  , no,we lack aerial ability  , we need someone to stretch the fulbacks  etc etc etc. . . . . I SMELL FEAR!!!


Meanwhile, all Chelsea fans are just chilling  , kicking feet up  , relaxing  , lounging  , etc, knowing victory is assured. 


The contrast couldn't be more stark.

Cristalz:
Ibime dearie, I believe the above was what you told TKB yesterday when he asked you a question. Below was your reason:

Go do your own research, then bring your findings to the table for dissection.

Dont blame me darling. . . . it was not my work. . . . I was just being a good samaritan to a friend in need. 

Thanks Sauron!

The pirates cannot be Yoruba. Dem too fear water.

Its our boys that did it! Naija Delta must always be first in everything! 

Alternatively, I smell a conspiracy from the Yanks in furtherance of their goals of setting up Africom.

Sauron, can you give us Man Utd historical turnover for the last 5 years. . . cheers!

Good idea

I also think the 40year licence is ridiculous.

The licence should be renewed every 2-3 years so that we know those who are willing to give back to the society and those who ar'nt.

40years licence unacceptable in this day and age.

The high capital cost of petroleum projects negate the possiblity of shorter-term contracts.

Are you sure?

When I quoted you on post no 9, there is a fullstop on the end of your quote, meaning I deliberately deleted the directly in the UK part, leaving the fullstop.

Surely, Im not that vindictive.

Oya, say the truth!

2. BBCs is NOT in the advertising business inside the UK, its a NATIONAL Corporation!

I think we all agree on that.

The question is, did you edit your post?

Say the truth and shame the devil!

The problem never was building refineries but maintaining them and keeping them operational. Do FG also expect these companies to run the refineries? They need to make that clear before I celebrate, cos FG have proven themselves incompetent at running refineries.

Sagamite:
A surplus is when a government earns more money than it spends. It is the difference between current government spending and total current revenue from all types of taxes. Achieving it is a sign of good governance.

That just "butresses" my point, not yours. You still need to prove he sat on the budget and did not spend it.

Do you want to do a more "robust" search to "butress" your "informed" bold statement?

@ Sky Blue.

Sagamite has opened the door for you to kick him where it hurts with this quote. Its easy to show that Yara had a surplus not by generating new revenue, but by sitting on the budget. Just look for Katsinsas IGR figures. It is one of the worst performing, and has been so since Yara time.

KnowAll:
I think the constitution is clear with regards to the VP’s position, I dont think any official hand- over is required when a President is indispose. The VP having being sworn in 2007 with Yardua does not require another fresh mandate for him to take over the reins of affair of the state, if and when required. It is the VP's constitutional, moral and obligatory duty to assume the office of the Presidency in the absence of his boss.

Do Nigerians know their rights? Goodluck is a Federal houseboy.

Cristalz:
@Ibime
If your 2nd team guys are so wonderful, how come your coaches never field them 'unsupervised', i.e. without a major 1st team name present on the pitch??

Cristalz:
Where I disagree with Ferguson is him putting them all out there at once for a UCL game without the regulars.

Quote 1 invalidates Quote 2. Proof by contradiction. Quote 2 unambiguously implies that Utd youngsters are not wonderful.

I can subscribe to that.

Macheda is better than any young player in Chelsea while Welbeck is not far behind.
I am confident Macheda is better than Solomon Kalou. . . . .and i can prove so.[/quote]Casiraghi would beg to disagree. Macheda will eventually go down in the annals of history as Luke Chadwick ptII. An ephemeral non-talent who flattered to deceive.

Who knows the eccentric style of play the Braga manager has deployed.
With the new diamond system that Carlo is using in Chelsea, what has been Lampard's contribution this season?
If he was a new player. . . . .Fans would be calling for his head.[/quote]Braga is top of the league. Everyone is shining there, especially Alan, the Brazilian who was rejected by Porto.

Lamps has been consistently good this season, second only to Fabregas in assists, with 6 goals in 14 appearances. Which one you dey yarn sef?

@ Crizzle,

Watch out for our youngsters in our final group game. We'll show you how its done.

Gibson is the only Utd youngster who might grow into something decent, with the Da Silva twins. Gibson might be the new Darren Fletcher who takes years to develop. Wellbeck and Macheda are rubbish!

Did you hear what happened to Possebon?

hehehehe. . . . that one is a story for another day. . . . he was sent on loan to Braga, played his first match and was substituted after only 25 minutes. Braga coach threatened to send him back to Manchester cos his performance was so poor. He has never played for them since.

transformR:
I respect that, lets move on.

No biggie. . . . BTW, I think ya edited ya post to add "directly in the UK". I can swear it wasnt there when I first quoted it.

transformR:
You owe me an apology.

The OP didnt say she lives in UK, so I dont see why you would challenge her with "Firstly, BBC does not advertise" .

Alright bro, lets not make much ado about nothing. . . my apologies. 

transformR:
read carefully before you respond, BBC is funded by British tax payers. Now it is not commercial and relies on a TV license fee of £139.50, they do not carry advertisements for ANY products! So Nigerians in the UK will not see adverts from Nigerian Banks in the UK. The worldservice? Well I listen to all their stations and again there are no adverts, ask anyone living in the UK who knows what he/she is talking about.

Why do some people like to take simple passing on of information personally?

FYI, I live in the UK.

I was also under the impression that BBC does not advertise, until I went on holiday to Cape Verde last month and saw adverts on BBC World News.

http://www.bbcworldnews.com/Pages/About.aspx

To quote:

BBC World News is owned and operated by BBC World Ltd, a member of the BBC's commercial group of companies and is funded by subscription and advertising revenues.


I think you owe the OP an apology. He obviously saw the adverts on one of the BBC World channels.

OP should change his username from blonker to plonker.

Na only for Naija where people dey entertain madness without reason.

Firstly, BBC dose not advertise.

BBC World Service does advertise.


@ topic,

Who knows?

Maybe it profits them.

I must admit that I have seen a disconcertingly? large no of Nigerian bank adverts on CNN, both before and after the banking collapse.

I haven't seen much advertising on CNBC and Bloomberg though. One would have thunk thats the market they would wanna reach.
