I just don't know what to say. can't view such gory images anymore. can't stand it. watch a video on that iyanya bomb blast and I will never forget what I saw.

For most people, religion and God is the ultimate goal. what give them purpose. But when you have people interpret religion negatively like BOKO HARAM, it becomes an almost impossible problem to solve.

This is the kind of challenge you need a visionary leader and supportive followership to tackle. With a careful, deliberate and strategic plan - for the long term. without that, I don't really see a way around it.

RIP to the Departed.

this girl is very good,cleaver and pretty I mean EXCESSIVELY KIND AND GOOD SHE IS AN EPITOME OF A PERFECT MOTHER,I don't want to hurt her as I don't see any future with her

You don't see any future with her??

THEN WHAT THE FUUCCK ARE YOU DOING WITH HER?

AND WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM A WOMAN IF NOT THOSE QUALITIES YOU LISTED?

"she comes to charge phone", and the next thing you're fvckiing her. so you've got no self control? you see no future with her despite the qualities you mentioned - what is she then to you? just some Bleep girl right?


Have some dignity and self-respect, man. let that young lady go and focus on somebody that'll be a part of her future.

Why will there be a war? Because those carrying out the killings don't want to be stopped?

Why are Muslims angry at the statement?

Are they trying to tell us they are the ones behind the killings?

Shouldn't they be happy that someone is trying to stop the killings of Nigerians?

Oh I forgot what the Quran said.

QURAN (48:29): “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves.”


LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF JESUS BELOW, THEN TELL ME WHICH RELIGION IS PEACEFUL

Luke 6:27-36

27 But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.
31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.

32 “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that.
34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.
35 But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Guy rest abeg. What you just did, I can also do with any religious script you want me to: to quote of context. Even when you disagree, try to be responsible and reasonable with your conduct. perhaps, that's the reason few people take whatever it is that you have to say seriously.

Don’t get it twisted bro.
Buhari cancelled Jakande’s metro in the 1980s so it is already an achievement that he did not cancel this Abuja light rail.
Meanwhile do you think that has to do with the location
The other issue is to show that Amaechi and others are liars who said that Jonathan did nothing.
I hope that you get it now?

I'm sure there were reasons he canceled it. I'm not saying they where valid oh but at least, reasons.

No. it has nothing to do with location. there are a lot of other projects (rail) intended for the southern part like Lagos-calaber light rail.

of course Ameachi would say previous government did nothing. its politics and that's how to play it. it is left for the citizens to decide who did nothing or not.

Now you understand why I said barca is the weakest in ten years

Barca won 4-1

This Barca is the weakest in Ten years. if Roma didn't knock them out today, the semi final would have been too much.

YINKS89:
ull b very shock.

No. you actually, will be shocked

Topmaike007:
okay so where do you belong to?

remember what I told you about this barca being the weakest in ten years?

[quote author=cooltola post=66594338][/quote]perhaps, I agree with 70% percent of what you said there. if you check, several railway projects are linked to Lagos already. This very one in Abuja is not just an intra city project, but will also link several cities or towns in the North. places with ordinary people like you and me.

Why I understand and appreciate the importance of Lagos to Nigeria's development, We cannot concentrate all industries and urbanization efforts in one city, state or region alone. That's what putting Nigeria first should be all about and not prioritizing Lagos or any other state per say.

kimjongJezebel:
Buhari is the President with the lowest IQ in the world. Grossly incompetent, extremely unintelligent and very dumb


There will be more last minute, politically motivated and dubious appointments to more sycophants just for his reelection bid

Considering we were just moving on from the administration of a Certified PhD holder, I find it really hard to believe someone who's all that can compare favorably.
perhaps, the claims are not as competent, intelligent and reasonable as they seem? But what do we know?

seguno2:
Of course he is taking three years to put finishing touches on what Jonathan nearly completed.

In essence, you're saying: Because you don't want Buhari to claim this as one of his administration's accomplishments, he shouldn't put "finishing touches" as you claim, but instead, the project should be abandoned because Jonathan initiated it?

Let me give an advice; when you become president, blow up all the power generation plants in existence and start from scratch with your own power project because previous administrations have contributed to it. Praise singers like yourself will be overjoyed since you started from the bottom and go from 0 to 100 real quick.

The advice is based on your Logic Bro, not mine, so you should appreciate it better.

cooltola:
So the federal government abandoned Lagos states to develop Abuja FCT. Lagos generates a lot of money , just mismanaged by some myopic Yoruba leaders who cannot even think with their brain, find a way to develop efficient train system that will ease traffic congestion, look for alternate way to generate electricity which will eventually help grow businesses and generate trillions of dollars enough for everyone to eat. If only we had leaders with visions.

What's the purpose of what you wrote here? must everything you say be a diversionary statement?

If you say government abandoned Lagos, what are the people in insurgency ravage areas going to say? I'm pretty sure there ARE ongoing rail projects with Lagos as one of their routes, what else do you want again sir? perhaps, the ones involving Lagos must be completed before others before you'll agree it's not been 'abandoned'.

emmygzy:
lolz formidable what? And the team is unbeaten in both league and champions league.

of course, it is possible to be unbeaten in the league. a weaker barca doesn't mean the remaining 19 and the teams they have faced so far in the CL are stronger than them

I'm saying from the Pep's team to the MSN of late, this team is weaker.

You'll probably look back at your childish and foul behaviour years later and realized how foolish you've been.

Barca won 4-1

Against Roma? Liverpool just won City 3-0. that's a far difficult thing to achieve.

I don't know if you're a barca fan, but you should know this barca is not as formidable as the teams from the last ten years.

I watch them against Chelsea, the 3-0 score was a deflector. they deserved to go through but not by 3-0 difference. the other teams remaining, would create more and take the chances than what Chelsea did.

Its just the semi final draw bro, I guess will see.
if the get Madrid though, they'll like knock them(Madrid) out. But i wish they don't get Madrid.

Topmaike007:
na him ooo

As soon as I realized you think CR7 is the greatest of all time, I just know it will be pointless explaining too you why this Barca is the weakest since rijkaard left Barcelona.

As for your dream of a champions league El clasico final, good luck to that. I'm 70% certain whoever meets barca among the team remaining in the semis, apart from real, would knock them out.

one may reach the final out of the two, both not both. that I certain of.

YINKS89:
ull b very shock.

By the semi finals, we'll know who'd be shock.

Coutinho14:
so they can both go home abi?

we are only the second leg to know who will be remaining.

Jackossky:
Hope you know man City is 'hearing' 3-0

sure! I'm not surprised. I probably wanted to say either man city or Liverpool qualifies, I think l barca is the weakest remained remaining.

Topmaike007:
we Madrid fans are here to support our fellow Spaniard ..I want us to play Eclassico in final

With all honesty, I think if Barca progresses together with Madrid, Bayern and Man city, Barca will be the weakest of the lot.

I'm still angry Liverpool got paired with City. I was hoping they both get paired with the Two Spanish Giants.

What a match this will be. easily the best game of the UCL so far. Two crazily attacking teams. The gegenpressing, The sprints, The defensive mistakes, This is what the feeling of UCL nights are all about.

Football lovers, happy 90 minutes of everything exciting about the game.

Actually this guy is a big fool!

The guy he's taking to court is actually the first in line for the name at the moment at the trademark organization, followed by another comic book guy.

This guy is so fvcking clueless!

He's not even on the line for the name sef!

His logic is so stupid because so many people have used "Starboy" before him, including Wizkid!

OLODO!

I don't know, but am I the only one here who is irritated anytime someone tries to make a point and, instead, end up littering the whole cyberspace with insults?

what's up with the name calling? All the insults you aimed there doesn't make your points any clearer.

Besides, I'm surprise you think your 5 minutes of research would be enough to negate the claim put forward by professionals advising these Artistes.

you give you and your 5 minutes of research TOO MUCH CREDIT BRO.

WITH RESPECT!

Those saying they don't know who The Weeknd is.. Man, do you even know music?

Wizkid has been 'claiming' to be the starboy for long, but Abel has officially acquired the trademark. Wizkid never did.. That's money talking!

And he's even partnered with Marvel for a starboy comic series coming soon.

Keep on winning awards and topping charts Abel!

No let emotional Nigerians swamp you ohh.

when I want to listen to some "good boy" music, SAM SMITH is my man.

however, when you're in your BAD MAN mood, you definitely need some talented sh!t. in other words, some Abel Tesfaye.

The opening beat alone before the weeknd starts singing in the starboy track would Make the judges rule in his favour. As soon as he's Finnish the first verse, the judges will probably be the one to sue anybody who's trying to contaminate the Starboy brand!

Right here where I reside, there's traffic and Buhari didn't visit. Road users are the number one cause of traffic. if Buhari didn't bring it to Lagos, commuters would themselves.

It seems some clergymen always have something to say recently, particularly since 2015. when we constantly here criticisms with religious intonations, particularly from one side of the divide, even those of us who try to see things above board starts to not take them seriously anymore.

I saw your first post as I actually read the thread from the first page till this one. The reason I quoted you was actually in my last post: 'My advise to you is to ignore these type of arguments as you're not going to win by any kind of parameter, most times when people start this kind of argument, I just point to the Uefa coefficient index'. I know some English teams are coming up, in fact, you mentioned the exact teams, but just three teams is not going to effect the king of change needed unless there's an improvement in about 8 teams that will regularly play in Europe and not UCL.

Nairaland is just not the right place to really type Epistles. Hence, the reason I always like to clarify my position before trying to support my point.

improvement don't happen overnight, at least not in football. If you point to the Uefa coefficient, Spain is on top at the moment. they will still be on top in the next two years even if they don't win it within that period.

I believe what even brought the Talk of Spanish Dominance, English dominance was when I quoted someone who said the EPL was all Hype because sevilla knock out united. I only reference the period of English dominance to point out that football is a 'cycle'. One team or league can't dominate forever. whether it takes 7-8 years to truncate that cycle doesn't matter, it will end eventually.

When I analyse the future of the EPL, I don't even consider much of what the Spanish teams do in the years to come. Because I know no matter what they do, they will hardly find a player to do for them what messi and CR7 has done/ will do for some couple of years still.

someone has already told me to stop hiding under Ronaldo and Messi excuse for Madrid and Barca dominance. it's not an excuse, and I'm certainly not downplaying their achievements as individual clubs, I'm only pointing out a major piece or factor of their dominance. the best players will still play for Madrid and Barca, But messi and Ronaldo are no "ordinary best players" they are the difference.

I didn't Care to reply that person who said the impact of those two are an excuse for my position. if you also think similarly, I will be a little surprise though.

just in case you think similarly... consider this:

Bayern has been solid since 2012 till date, if they had messi or cr7, you wouldn't better against them adding some more CL within that period.

Barca game against Chelsea yesterday was by all means, except the goals an even performance by both teams. I saw a tactical and technical performance in equal measure by both teams. Barca kept playing football no more than Chelsea did. And of course, messi will always be the difference.


perhaps more pointedly, we haven't seen a dominance as one sided as the Spanish dominated this past years. If you think it is only a coincidence this happened in the era of messi and ronaldo, then I must apologise for all the rubbish I must have said so far!

And just to snip in, I have watched all the biggest matches played this season so far, Cl games, clasico, Manchester Derby, Bayern-Dortmund, Psg-Madrid (only one team turned up). in fact, just a lot of football. in my personal opinion, the best performance of a game of football I have seen so far was Spurs-Man city. City won with a rather large margin, 4-0, But they did so because they where absolutely brilliant. and not because Spurs was anywhere bad, they simply met something magical. If I was a gambler, that game cleared my doubt about who the best team is at the moment. All my opinion though!

8 teams!!! Don't overdraw the line!!! The Spanish dominated with just two teams. Athletics was close but never won it. And sadly to say, the Europa league is just not for English teams. To win it, clubs have to actually want to win it. The English teams who really can win it don't bother prioritize it because finishing in the CL places is more important for them. But with the way things are going, two of the big six will have to make do with the Europa league in the coming years. even if they treat it with more or less like the FA Cup, I expect them to still have some couple of wins going forward.

Topiipii:
You seem insistent on carrying on this argument, so I'll just give the facts about it and put the whole thing to rest.
English teams did dominate, but it was only for three consecutive seasons and not as long as people here claim (claims based on hearsay I might add as I'm sure most of them never watched the UCL).
The golden era for English football in the UCL was from 2004/2005 to 2008/2009, a period of 5 seasons punctuated by a Spanish dominant season in 2005/2006 during which they won both Uefa competitions defeating English teams in both finals. In total they dominated for 4 out of those five seasons, you're free to conduct your research as Wikipedia usually keeps a record of each UCL season.
One other thing you should know is that there was never a season in which both R. Madrid and Barcelona were knocked out by English teams (it might happen this season, who knows), Barca was knocked out on three occasions (Chelsea 2005, Liverpool 2007, Man U 2008) and won it for the other two seasons (2006, 2009), while Madrid was knocked out once (Arsenal 2006).
For the dominant seasons(2005, 2007, 2008, 2009), English teams had 2, 3, 3, 3 teams in the semi finals respectively which is why some of these newbie fans who heard tales of those glory days seem to think it was longer than it was. The first one (2005) wasn't really a dominant season as both semi final teams (Liv, Che) got there against the odds and qualified through tightly contested matches in which they were predicted to go out (you can also check this out), I added it for the fact that 2 of out four semifinal teams were English. This takes me back to earlier point above about English teams dominating for 3 seasons; they produced 4 quarter final teams in 2 out of those 3 seasons and 3 teams in the semifinal each season. The sad part about that dominance though is that they only won it once, so it's easy for those who never watched the UCL actively back then to dispute the dominance nowadays. I used to argue a lot back then, and the basis of my argument is this 'how can you claim that the EPL is the best when their teams can only win one UCL despite having 3 teams in the semi finals for 3 consecutive years?'
To put that in perspective, the first time a league did that (in the UCL, I can't say if it was done in the old format, but I doubt it) was 1999/2000 by La liga and they played an all Spanish final. This was followed by Serie A in 2003, also an all Italian final; can you see the true dominance here? We even saw an all Spanish final in 2014 and 2016 with just 2 teams in the semi final.
In the Uefa Cup/ Europa League, the same scenario occurred in 2006/2007 and 2011/2012 also an all Spanish final, so I'm sure you're now beginning to get the point.
My advise to you is to ignore these type of arguments as you're not going to win by any kind of parameter, most times when people start this kind of argument, I just point to the Uefa coefficient index (you really need to study this in order to grasp the magnitude of the Spanish dominance, it's one that has never been seen before). The Uefa website shows the index record for the past 5 years, but I'd recommend you look for the ones earlier than that if you're interested in that kind of thing.
I hope you appreciate my 'long essay' anyways.

very nice post. and, I live football enough to know the Spanish dominance was/is one never seen before. I agree with majority of what you said above really.

perhaps, you would appreciation my post you quoted if you followed what triggered such. if you go back at that my message, you'd know I'm not saying the English teams are back. I'm saying with the indices in place - present coaches, Money, and ambition shown, they are coming, in two three years they will all compete. I believe L,pool, City and Spurs play great football at the moment and they competed and would develop further.

the Spanish did things correctly that's why they are here. its not their birthright, they worked for it - Some EPL teams are working for it.

England has only two great teams at the moment. Man city and Liverpool.
Tottenham are not doing bad. They just lack European experience.

The rest are there to complete the number.

A new generation has risen and man utd the great has fallen.

I agree completely with you. Liverpool and City are Great. I would Say Spurs is even balanced than Liverpool. They were so so so unlucky against Juve home and away. I Think experience is overplayed here Sha. Spurs didn't lose because of lack of experience to me. when you're attacking for 70 minutes and only have to defend for few minutes, you tend to lose concentration when that time to defend finally arrives. Barca has been a victim of this against Chelsea in 2012 and in the past, are they not also experienced? playing well and losing is part of the game simple.

NoDulling4here:
I mean test in the champions league. Man city football is quite predictable. To win the champions league, in addition to a good team, you need a crazy player like Ronaldo, messi, robben, neymar, etc in your team. People who can cause all sorts of problems for the opponent.

By the way, I think Barca are the best team now because they are yet to lose a game this season.

Spurs had not lost before juve. Barca has improved their defense massively but this is the worst barca in years. players make up the unit. pique and umtiti are great. alba also. Roberto is OK, not great. iniesta is not same as before, can still be magical. busguet is amazing as always. then Suarez will score when something is created for him. offensively, it is now actually all about messi for barca. watching them against Chelsea, you'd know that without Messi, they can be very average. And they need to score goals to win CL. look at their goals scored this season, it's declining.

I agree about needing a crazy player like messi and Ronaldo. but this city team is Complete. they get goals, possession, energy, speed and creativity in their team. everybody is important but not crucial to their playing style. players just fit in like a part of the puzzle. to me, that's much better than the odd one superstar for a team.
