Religion / Re: The Bones Of St Peter Go On Display by Jarvis(m): 5:26pm On Nov 14, 2013
Ogeam:

Yet Peter can't still pray for you, only Christ can do that! No other person has that ministry but Christ, not mary, not peter, not paul or any other mortal that lived. There is only one mediator between God and man [bold] the man Christ Jesus[/bold]. No man takes this honour (of priesthood) on himself except him that is called. Heb 5:4.
so why can a pastor pray for you ?

Politics / Re: DPO Jumps Fence To Escape From Robbers (Picture) by Jarvis(m): 7:36pm On Mar 13, 2013
Idokojimmy: See DPO Jumping Fence To Escape From Armed Robbers

This happened in the police station close to Old Market in Sokoto State. At the sound of the armed robbers heavy guns, which was like bombs, the DPO and one of his men quickly escaped through the back of the station, thinking they were about to be attacked by the dreaded Boko Haram.
This is how precarious the security situation in Nigeria has become. How sad!
If senior police officers are being killed by men with more sophisticated weapons and others are running away like this ones, what then is the hope of ordinary Nigerians?
Recall that the IGP announced recently that the force budgeted 2billion for police games. Wouldn't it have been better if such fund were used to renovate their deplorable colleges, training of officers and procurement of more sophisticated firearms? God help us.

Next time learn not to criticise a process for which there's no superior alternative known to man. You find fault with the practise of electing popes, I asked you educate me on an alternative process, you begin comparing with party politics. What is the truth? Your version or mine? You have now learnt why religion is a personal matter. You can never convince a 2nd party to illumination when he considers you to be the one in darkness.

I already said you're not a concerned party, yet you want to educate Catholics on how to choose their OWN leader. You even failed at this because you only harbour criticism without proposing your solution

Actually "Hazard" is trending right now on twitter and different people have voiced their opinion on whether on the incident. I am a chelsea fan, and even though I clapped for him when he kicked that boy, I don't believe he did the right thing, but I also don't believe he deserved to be sent off for that. Well, that's my opinion. Did you watch the game? What do you think? Did he do the right thing or not? Why? Did he deserve to be sent off or not? Why?

toluxa1: Ball boys are given a job, A job to speed up the game and keep it running. If a ball goes out, They get the ball straight away and give it back to resume play. Instead, He let it roll past him and keeps it in his arms. Eden Hazard then goes over to him, By that time the ball-boy has led over the top of the ball to prevent him from getting it. So Hazard kicks the ball, You can see from replays the he does as it rolls out the other side of the lad.

The kid then acts like he's been shot, He then sits back up, Gazes around and lies back down again.

I'm not saying what Hazard did was right, But its being taken out of proportion. Hazard is a nice lad, and doesn't deserve this at all.

The ball boy is 17, and on his twitter has spoke about gambling, drinking (alcohol) and buying an Audi. Below is a quote from his twitter, Before the game

"@CHARLIEM0RGAN The king of all ball boys is back making his final appearance #needed#for #timewasting"
"The boy went to pick
up the ball and he fell over. He didn't hold on to the
ball for a minute; it happened over about 20 seconds.
"Had it been 2-0 to Chelsea, I don't think Hazard would
have been anywhere near the ball. But I don't think
Hazard deliberately went to kick him."

Sports / Re: Interesting Article About John Mikel Obi by Jarvis(m): 1:06am On Aug 30, 2012
kayoshi: Dispelling Myths: John Obi Mikel always passes it sideways

Chelsea won their opener today with a fairly comfortable 2-0 scoreline. Regardless of that fact, many members of the WAGNH community seemed to feel it necessary to get up in arms over the performance. In a trend that's becoming far to common for my liking, many of you immediately singled out John Obi Mikel as the weak link. With that in mind, I'm going to take a look at one of the most common complaints about his game.

Stop me if you've heard this before...John Obi Mikel always passes the ball sideways. Everybody says it, so it must be true. Well, MCFC Analytics has given us access to all of the Opta stats for the 2011/12 Premier League season, so now we can see if this is statistically correct. If you haven't yet read about the project, you can do so here.

For this exercise, I've decided to compare Mikel to some comparable players at the largest clubs in England (and Liverpool). Gareth Barry, Nigel de Jong, Michael Carrick, Alex Song, Oriol Romeu, Scott Parker, Sandro, Cheik Tiote, and Lucas Leiva all seemed to be excellent guys to compare Mikel with, so I decided to crunch some numbers on that group. Opta gives us totals of passing forward, backward, to the left, and to the right for every Premier League player in every Premier League game last season, so i broke out the calculator and went to work. After the jump, you can see what these guys did in this regard.

First, why don't we take a look at the midfielders mentioned above and their tendencies to pass sideways. To make this easier on the eye, I've just totaled the percentages of passes to both the left and right. I've then layed it out in a pretty little graph below:

Surprised? I think most of you should be. John Obi Mikel doesn't actually pass the ball sideways more than most of the other defensive mids at top clubs in England. He sits a little below the average in this regard, passing the ball to either side 57% of the time.

I'm sure many of you are now jumping to conclusions, making the assumption that these number just look this way because Mikel actually passes the ball backwards more than the rest of this sample. Well since we're digging through numbers anyway, why not take a look at that as well?

Shocking, isn't it? John Obi Mikel doesn't appear to pass the ball backwards as much as his counterparts do in general. As a matter of fact, he only does so for only 9% of his passes. I guess we'd better go ahead and look at how often he passes the ball in a forward direction...

Well there we have it, there were only 2 defensive midfielders at top clubs that actually passed the ball forward at a higher rate than Mikel. One of them is widely considered as the best defensive mid in England, and the other just got purchased by "the best club in the world". This doesn't fit the narrative that many of you have come to adopt, so you should really take some time to let all of this sink in. When somebody complains that Mikel always passes the ball sideways, they are just statistically incorrect. The reality of the situation is that Mikel actually passes the ball forward more than he does in any other direction, with just over 1/3 of his passes sent towards the attack. He also tends to pass the ball forward at a higher rate than most other defensive midfielders in England.

Does this comparison mean that Mikel doesn't have room to improve? Certainly not. What it should tell you wothout a doubt, though, is that John Obi Mikel does not pass the ball sideways more than his counterparts. He actually sprays the ball forward more often than most, and I'm assuming that's a surprise to most of you. There are fair criticisms to be made about John Obi Mikel, but complaining about his tendency to pass the ball backwards or to the side should not be one of them. It's incorrect, and it's not fair to the player. When someone tells you that John Obi Mikel always passes the ball sideways, show them this and let them know that they are wrong.
