My pops came out with third class. It took me 22 years to discover this since he kept lying that he was always the best in his class.

[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=256465.msg3696144#msg3696144 date=1239033457]If we concentrate on his lyrical skills, i am not sure he is better than 'The Game'
Kanye ma WHITE ASS.[/quote]How can you even compare Kanye to Game lyrically? Kanye that Memphis Bleek, Oschino and Sparks were laughing at when he announced that he wanted to be a rapper 

eldee:
See artistes that came out banging like DMX, they've become where are they now stars

And Im sure guys like you and Bamsyle were singing his praises back then when real emcees thought he was wack. 

I see Bamsyle is ejaculating over 2Pac again. The mans life story far overshadows his rap skills.

Kanye is also wack, no question about that.

I expect better from so-called emcees like Eldee and Bamsyle. Since when did emcees become rap journalists that they must tow the populist line, showering platitudes at every successful rapper.

When you ask most of the greats who they grew up listening to, they would tell you Kool G Rap, Rakim etc.

Anybody that grew up listening to 2Pac is a WACK rapper now. There is nothing you can learn from 2Pac lyrically. Just go and ask Master P, Lil Zane, Crazy etc who grew up listening to 2Pac. Similar thing for Kanye. I am sure the Soulja boy generation grew up listening to Kanye and the likes.

Yes, they are very good sonically, but there is nothing an up-and-coming rapper should be learning from them except how to write choruses and make beats.

Any good rapper of namadays should be looking more to Pun, Saigon, Jadakiss, Big L etc for inspiration, not Kanye or 2Pac.

tell me why na

for real, we have 2 places to fill in that team

our RB and LW
Maicon and Ribery will do

we'll murder everybody with that combo

lol. . . . . Abramovic go tear shirt. . . .


[quote author=~Sauron~ link=topic=258567.msg3695956#msg3695956 date=1239031369]Rooney, Tevez and now Ribery in the attack??

I dont want Valencia
i want Ribery!!

Tevez can go back to West Ham or wherever

Nani is still young, he can learn after some severe flogging after every f'ck up

I am starting to think Nani will never learn.

If Man Utd sign Ribery, I will quit following EPL and join Dayokanu in supporting Bayern.

NNPC are entitled to collect however much they want from Govt for pipeline maintenance when the same Govt cannot guarantee the security of those pipelines, forcing NNPC to take the more expensive option of distributing oil by truck.

@ Ibime

I wan go offtopic a bit.

Years back in Naija, i used to hear the word Igbeweja. Since then, have never heard anyone using the word in the US or on NL. Never!

For you to use that word, you must be a son of the soil. Now, if am correct, Igbeweja means tout, urchin, agbero, right?

Those who know don't talk and those who talk dont know . . . . only a special breed of nikkas are allowed to use that word. . . .as a fellow son of the soil, I ask you to receive my e-handshake

@mukiii
i see you still have problems with pre-match analysis . . .
1. we cannot  be suffering under a revival. we are enjoying it.

lol. . . . . Muki don suffer. . . .

I wonder if these moderators have to type out these pre-match analyses themselves. . . . they are doing a bloody poor job of it

That Macheda boi is destined to go places.
His touches alone are superb and cant be in the likes of Welbeck and co.

I just like the way the boy handles himself with an aura of class, combined with a good touch and confidence. . . . he reminds me of Mikael Forssell who burst onto the scene in a similar fashion before injuries debilitated his game. . .

You said it right - Wellback and such are not in his class. Wellbecks's spindly legs are no match for Machedo, who has the look of a slender egbewager, the physical strength and ball control, unlike Wellbeck who gets the ball stuck between his feet and never seems in full control of it. . . . . even that guy you have on loan at Tottenham (I forget his name momentarilly) is better than Wellbeck

What do you guys mean the movie is crap? 

Abegi, I prefer Will Smith in these heart-rending roles to his action roles.

Rubbish pundits nearly made me believe the film was crap as well.

WTH is Slumdog Millionaire? I wouldn't watch that film if you paid me.

Best films I seen this year are 7 Pounds, Valkyrie & The curious case of Benjamin Button.

I always abstain from replying to these 'religious' threads. Too many morons get sensitive when you criticise the man of mammon God. It is repulsive that the church should purchase a jet in a country where many people are starving and most of the congregation cannot rub two pennies together; yet we see the pastors driving all manner of expensive cars. Still, one cannot help but laugh at the gullible congregation whose tithes are sequestered monthly in order that the pastor can maintain his luxurious lifestyle. In other words, e no bala me. No be my money e dey spend. The pastors judgement will come to him in the next life, whilst the congregation have to face their harsh existence in this life.

Nordic:
Ibime, are you saying i'll get less or more?

You'll get less of course. . . . . . but through connections and other dodgy deals, you can always make more

If you wanna go back to Naija, fine, but pay rates are not the same.

Nordic:
About getting a job in Nigeria, i don't believe its a big deal since I've the experience and qualifications and also have families who can get me a job over the phone, but my parents don't want those families involved in my life, they believe they're evil even though most of them are extremely wealthy.

I dont think you are ready to go back to Naija if you are asking a question like this. Your parents do not want you to deal with certain families who wanna get you a job - and you are in moral dilemna about it? In Naija, you have to connect to collect. There should be no moral quandary about that, otherwise, I suggest you just stay where you are and live jejely.

I'm impressed at River State turn up; this is not Lagos (Nigerian Financial Capital), Nor Abuja (the Federal Capital Territory) but a humble state of it's own, and yet, it challenges these two big names. Rivereans, CLAP for yourselves!!!

There is no reason to be surprised. . . . Rivers has always been a happening State. . . . people just refuse to visit 'the swamp' to see how enlightened we are, despite the fact that we are trouncing every other state @ UME exams.

Eziachi:
Ibime,
You are an intelligent guy, please tell me how Ejoor who was just a major at that time is a threat to a general? the general that wants him out of the way advise him not to go to Enugu (Igboland)?
Have you heard where an officer was told about a coup plot, he not only refused to take part but fought against it, reported the plotters, which suppose to earn them treason and a death sentence and then when the said coup did happened, the same soldiers that he reported over a coup plot not only massively promoted him in rank but made him a governor over the same people he reported of plotting a coup? My brother did that make sense?

When the coup plotters arrived Lagos, the instruction was to kill Ironsi but he escaped by a wisker and hid in Ijora container depot, from were he organised a counter attack against a coup he was supposed to be plotting. Does that make sense to you?

My point and yours are exactly the same. . . . Ironsi did not know about the coup, just like I said. . . . however, Ejoor is probably right when he says that Igbo soldiers had been planning a military putsch since Independence. . . whether Ojukwu and Ironsi were roped into their plot is of no consequence, but it is hard to fathom that Ojukwu never recieved wind of it. . . . . I do not for a second buy the excuse that the coup plotters gave. . . . they had always had intentions of seizing power. . . the act itself is evidence of the intention. . . . . the fact that they killed Akintola, Bello and Sardauna but spared Igbo sons in power only paints the coup as a 'tribal' one. . . .

Macheda looks the real business; in stature, poise, touch and confidence, unlike Wellbeck et al who will eventually drift into the lower echelons of the EPL.

Mixed feelings about the game yesterday. On one hand, Chelsea's title hopes seem to be over. On the other hand, at least those stupid scousers will not be getting their hands on the EPL, otherwise we will never hear the last of it.

Soludo is simply incompetent. This is not a North vs South thing. These are real facts.

Whilst everyone knew that the rabid speculation in the NSE was built on shaky foundations, Soludo did nothing about it. Infact, he encouraged it. At the same time, his Chinese counterpart Zhou Xiaochuan was calling for a devaluing of Chinese stocks because they were overinflated. In 2009, China's fundamentals are healthy, whilst Nigeria has no fundamentals. Based on this alone, Soludo should be sacked. He is a boom and bust Governor and that is not what a developing nation needs.

lol. Switch is a nutcase.

Big week coming up. Liverpool on wed and Arsenal at the weekend. We need Drogba fit. I wanna see a front three of Drogba, Anelka and Kalou. I saw JT interview yesterday saying he was dreading the thought of facing Liverpool again. Thats not what I wanna hear. Still, we have a trump card this time and his name is Michael Essien. Essien has barely played in midfield on our trips to Anfield and in a game like this, we need all the energy we can get in midfield, not slow coach Ballack. Expect big things on Wednesday.

naijaking1:
There's no need to re-write the interview above. It's in black and white, there's no "per se" as to his views about Ironsi.

Not at all. . . . he did not mention Ironsi by name as having wanted to enact a coup since independence. . . he only said Ironsi wanted him out of the way AFTER the coup had already been carried out. . . . lest we forget, Ironsi wasn't one of the original 1966 coup plotters and Nzeogwu et al would have killed him along with the rest if he hadn't got word early enough and outmanouvred them. . . .

Take the work experience. Popsie can always sponsor your Masters another time. Work experience counts more than degrees.

Ejoor may not have been referring to Ironsi per se, but Nzeogwu, Ojukwu and the others when he claims Igbo soldiers had been plotting since Independence. He does say that Ironsi wanted him out of the way, but that is not particularly linked to his claim that Igbos wanted to seize power from Independence. He specifically mentioned Ojukwu and Banjo as the main coup plotters.

As for Ejoor having to show gratitude to Ironsi for making him Mid-Western premier, he needs do no such thing. He was afterall the highest ranking soldier in the Midwest and deserving of the position under military protocol. Besides, Ironsi is not a fool that he would put an Anioma man in charge of the Midwest unless he wants to create enemies on all sides.

Interesting interview. There are elements of truth in Ejoor's interview, whatever anyone says. It remains on record that Igbo soldiers were the first to carry out a coup in Nigeria, over a flimsy excuse of corruption, after which they seized power. I do not doubt that such a coup had been in planning for some time. The act is evidence of the intention.

Lawd have mercy. Dayokanu should be summoned to explain this result.

nateevs:
So why does Ballack do well for Germany?

cos Germany move up as a team. . . . for Chelsea, theres too much space between the lines of midfield and attack, so only Lamps and Essien who have the lungs to make up the ground will play well . . . . this is why Mikel was also converted to a DM, cos he aint got the lungs to keep up with the counterattack. . . . its called percentage football, inbuilt from the days of Mourinho. . . .6 men behind the ball at all times.

GH should give Stoch a run out, lets see whether he has anything to offer for Wednesday.

hehehehehehe. . . . . . Malouda, come let me give you a kiss  

Kalou must play, but Malouda is a goat.

If Guus continues with this his nonsense obsession with Malouda after half-time and in future matches, I will be furious.

Rob Styles is a bloody politician in the mould of Graham Poll. . . . he is trying to ensure a win for Englands golden son on his debut as a manager. . . . you could see that right from kick-off.

Rob Styles has to be the worst ref in the prem. . . . Nicky Butt hasnt recieved a single yellow, yet he books Lamps for simulation after being clipped. . . .

What swimming pool bruv? You mean Waterfront Leisure Centre?

i thought it was a Ghanaian joint opposite it.

Yeah Waterfront. . . . thats where I used to go to practice my breastroke. . . There's a Ghanaian joint opposite called Palm beach, but next to it is an Nkwobi restaurant called Nkwobi spot. . . . their Nkwobi is off the radar.
