Well i know something is fishing here and the reason beyond 911 is yet unknown i watch a video and the engineer that construction the world trade Centre and and those that build planes said the attack was not real i don't know what to believe again oo they said especially the Pentagon house wasn't real at all cos how on heart will a plane hit Pentagon house with no wings, still making my research ooYea, perhaps you're right, it's a"conspiracy theory" and I can understand your doubts of 911, but I want you to also understand my own doubt about the "widely reported Israeli bombing and killing of innocent children and women in Gaza". Might be another conspiracy theory formulated by everlasting Israeli haters, still making my research oo. |
^^ Hey you have to be very sure of something before coming here and saying rubbish where in Quran Chapter 5, Verse 8 and 12 say any such. your such a silly food make God punish that your finger and if anyone is here to verify that simply go to www.quran.com and stop being ignorant of what you don't know."Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment." , just read from quaran 5.33. The question is "what is waging war against Allah and His Messenger?". Alqaeda and many many many others believe America/Israel and indeed the rest of the West are on war with Islam and must be destroyed. Is that your own understanding as well? |
This 7 seven virgin gift for suicide bombing, is it really in Koran? What a about female suicide bombers, what do they get? - 7 Bill Gates? |
No big deal about this pixy. Most average looking gals may perhaps appear prettier with same make-up applications and camera specification. My admirations would only be how Jenny preserves her thin structure plus her acting skills. |
This marriage is over and done with. On the face of presented facts, there's absolute nothing that could make you resist your adulterous partner if a conducive situation pops up. This is called “Okafor’s” theory – “a hole once profitably drilled can always be drilled again”. [i][/i]You are now everlastingly under the spell of the self described “wonderful sexual experience”. This, you certainly did not obtain from your husband. I then wonder how you’ll ever work things out with your husband as being suggested by some of these unrealistic commentators. Don’t get mislead, you can’t survive the rest of your married life with unexciting sexual life, especially when you’ve tasted something better elsewhere. It’s a joke. |
Please, what's her home/office addresses and contact numbers. I'll do the "dirty job" for you. |
This account is puzzling. It creates the notion that perhaps at some point in time Nuhu Ribadu and Ibori were on a unified interest. This is tough to accept as true given what we all know that later transpired between these fellows. Ironically, Nuhu Ribadu’s EFCC by no means pursued Odili’s purportedly corruption cases to the degree that it did on Ibori’s. Meanwhile we are supposed to believe that Nuhu and Ibori were united to dethrone Odili as VP based on frauds committed as Governor of Rivers State? This is ridiculous!!!!! Who cannot recall the popular Nuhu’s EFCC and Ibori trial saga or the resultant Ibori’s settling of scores that led to Nuhu’s release from EFCC, demotion, forced retirement and eventual exile. At what point therefore did these blokes turn out to be avowed adversaries? Possibly the next series of this disbelieving Adeniyi’s article will divulge. I doubt it, but I’ll still play wait and see game. For the time being, something tells me that this write-up is nothing but a disguise for the solitary intention of image healing in addition to book marketing approach. If that’s confirmed, he must just shut up and enjoy his personal dividends of democracy from an appointment which nobody compelled him to accept, not even his chairman Nduka as he wants us to believe. Typical Naija man abeg. |
It's you who will not allow your blind hatred for the VP(just because he's a PDP man) to becloud your sense of reasoning.Arc Namadi Sambo may be a short man from a humble background,but for Pete's sake,he is the VP of Nigeria and that office needs to be respected and not for one old clown to be reprimaning him right in front of his servants.[tr][/tr] First of all there’s no such designation as Arc. Secondly, why would somebody be kept waiting for three hours? Sambo is not an ordinary citizen and will certainly move about with sirens and police escorts to clear the traffic should the need arise. So, what’s the justification for the unpunctuality? Mind you, none was given. Thirdly, disregard your political views and frankly advise me if you would be glad to be kept waiting for three hours? Fourthly, you are here visualizing things on your head, but meanwhile the VP has already made an apology. So what's the quandary? |
[tr] last season messi scored the highest number of goals in europe but was able to win only one trophy(la liga)[/tr] Your argument is flawed. In the particular competition in which Messi scored the highest goals, his club won the trophy after amassing 99 points and his individual accomplishment was an add-on. You have to concur with me that the Madrid fans would cherish the coveted league trophy more than personal exploit of "highest goal scorer". I presume that, in the absence of nothing it’s manageable. If that’s your view point, then I agree and no further comments. |
[tr] Ronaldo scored 11 goals in the last 4 league games of the season, that was after Barca had won the league. If he had showed such good form when there was alot to play for, perhaps, Madrid would have won something more tangible than the Copa del Rey.[/tr] Totally in agreement.[/b]A player who may perhaps be judged the best has to accomplish when it most mattered. In no doubt, both Messi and Ronaldo drives their respective clubs. However, at the time it mattered during the CL Messi measured up to standard and single handily took his team to the finals. Ronaldo failed woefully. But instead of accepting his inferiority to Messi, he rather joined his envious coach to link the apparent failure to biased officiating. This was a clever strategy adopted by both to avoid the imminent condemnation and fury of fans and club directors who has spent a lot on the club but with just a [b]third rated Copa del Rey to show for all it. Both players are good goal scorers, but Messi scores beautiful goals whereas Ronaldo just score goals. Messi and Ronaldo constantly put down their individual marks on the field, but Messi entertain fans and torment the opposing fans and even would be opposing fans like ManU. Hence all the Messi hating! Ronaldo is a player any coach, owner or fan would like to have on their team but Messi is the one they would love to have. Ronaldo is a footballer. Messi is a footballer's footballer and will once again win the World’s best player of the year. |
The Igbo leaders are awfully self-centred and useless to their folks. In the face of the enormous votes these hopeless leaders stole and appropriated for Jonathan, the PDP still arrogantly neglected the Igbos in key position sharing. As it stands now, those contentious votes were insufficient to secure the coveted Senate presidency or House speakership for a major tribe. Rather, the Ibos are being swindled into accepting as true that an easily “disposable” and unelected position such as Secretary to Government is more influential and significant than Speakership. Balderdash!!! The most intriguing reality is that, this inequitable PDP resolution went unchallenged by the Ibo Governors and leaders. What a shame!!!! But only those lacking the knowledge of history would be shocked. I am not. The South South populace have at all times worked against the Igbo man’s interest and I didn’t imagine for once that Jonathan would do otherwise. He has used and dumped the Ibos. Period!!!! |
My companion elsewhere without me but with my awareness and accompanied by my buddy and allowed by me? Haba, that's an ideal scenario for absolute trust. I'll snooze like a toddler cos she'll be too irrational to misbehave in such a situation where I enjoy some element of control. The concern truly ought to be what occurs without my knowledge, without a friend and without my permission. Given that these uncontrollable scenarios are inevitable, it’s better to let her be. I tell you, women are more dependable once they realise they are trusted. Don’t stalk her. This is from a personal experience. |
LESSON MOURINHO CAN LEARN FROM NADAL "But never a man to manufacture excuses for his defeats as in the case of Real Madrid’s “Special Cry Baby” Jose Mourinho, Nadal added, “He’s (Djokovic’s) playing at a really high level. We’ve got to accept that… When someone is better than you, there is nothing you can do other than congratulate him, and that’s it, and look forward to your next tournament and try to keep up, see what you’re missing, what you’re doing right and face forward with the correct attitude and with mental strength. You have to be cool, mentally speaking, and you have to look for solutions. Try to be better, try to practise and next time, I’ll try to do better.” . "Well spoken Nadal, one of the best role models any sport needs. One hopes Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo, his fellow-sufferer of a “persecution complex,” get to read and take heed of Nadal’s philosophical and sportsmanlike attitude to inevitable occasional defeats." By Ayo Ositelu - The Guardian. |
Why do you guys hate Barca? You can love your ManU, "the special one", or Ronaldo without necessarily hating Barca and the most gifted player I have ever seen - Messi. Why all these misplaced emphasis on Barca's diving and influence on referees? Your so called "Special One" has savoured victory just once in five meetings against Barca this season – in the Cop del Rey (which is the least important at that) – that is the fault of five different referees according to Jose Mourihno? That bloke must be a jealous and a sore loser. Guys get serious and be real or sleep!!!! But while awake hating, Messi is busy accomplishing what he knows best: 52 goals, 27 assists and zero incidents of diving. I presume those incredible and record shattering statistics are due to referees’ supports? Jesters!!!!! |
hey,all barcelona here should read this and learn what football is http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2011/04/29/2463454/scholes-2004-abidal-2009-milito-2010-jose-mourinho-is-a Thank you for this link and i could resist the urge to past it here. Josè Mourinho - Real Madrid "Mourinho is the best coach in the world, but as a man he still needs to learn manners and respect." These were the words just a few months ago of none other than Mario Balotelli. Now when the Manchester City enfant terrible, whose list of misdemeanours reads longer than today’s Royal Wedding guest list, offers you advice in regal protocol and etiquette then you know you have an attitude problem. This writer happens to be one of The 'Special One's biggest fans. By the time he retires, there is no doubt in my mind that he will go down as the greatest club coach of all time. Having already won everything in Portugal, England, Italy and on the European stage, Mourinho’s next mission is to do the same in Spain (the Copa del Rey has been secured), then Germany, and then internationally. He has bagged six league titles and two Champions Leagues (just one less than record-winning manager Bob Paisley) among many other trophies, and at the age of just 48 could easily double that number of domestic championships. The modern game is desperately short of star quality - technically, tactically, personally, professionally, both on and off the pitch - and Mourinho’s charisma, controversies and cunning genius enchants us all. But as Barcelona stated in announcing their intention to report the Portuguese trainer to Uefa, “on Wednesday night Mr Mourinho went over the line”. His post-match rant, which can be read in full here, slammed referee Wolfgang Stark for the sending-off of himself and Pepe, plus the yellow card that will see Sergio Ramos suspended from the Camp Nou return leg next week. Jose then went on to suggest that the events in his side's 2-0 defeat in the Spanish capital were just further evidence of a pro-Barcelona conspiracy within Uefa, even questioning whether the Blaugrana’s ties with Unicef was the cause. But it was his quotes directed at Barcelona opposite number Pep Guardiola that were truly out of order, and downright disrespectful - not to mention hypocritical. "I hope for Pep that he will win the Champions League without any incident at one point,” Mourinho roared. “I've won two Champions League titles with teams other than Barcelona. I won the tournament with Porto, a team from a country that doesn't usually win, and I won the Champions League with Inter, who hadn't won the trophy for 50 years [sic] and weren't even among the favourites. We won those trophies with hard work, pride, effort and sweat. "Guardiola is a great coach, but I'd be embarrassed if I'd won the tournament like that after the scandal at Stamford Bridge [two years ago]. If he wins the competition this year, it will be marred by the events at Santiago Bernabeu.” Mourinho may be blessed with the memory of an elephant, but he certainly chooses to use it very selectively. Mourinho didn’t win his Champions League trophies just with “hard word, pride, effort and sweat” - he also received some favourable refereeing decisions (and fortune) along the way. In the 2003-04 edition, his Porto side were on the verge of elimination during their second round tie with Manchester United. Ahead 1-0 in the second-leg at Old Trafford, the dominant English champions had a Paul Scholes goal scandalously disallowed for a non-existent offside decision. This meant that a last-minute strike from Costinha, following a shocking goalkeeper error by Tim Howard, put Porto through 3-2 on aggregate. Mourinho didn’t complain, instead he raced down the touchline for his famous celebration. In the 1-0 semi-final victory over Deportivo, Jose also benefited from outrageous refereeing. In the first-leg in Portugal, which finished 0-0, one of Depor’s star players Jorge Andrade was sent off for playfully kicking at former team-mate Deco. The pair unsuccessfully remonstrated with referee Markus Merk that they were just fooling around, Andrade repeating the words: “He’s my friend, he‘s my friend”. The red card had a huge bearing on the tie. Without their rock in defence, Deportivo lost the return 1-0 at home, and Mourinho’s Porto proceeded to the final where they beat Monaco 3-0. Fast forward six years to Mourinho’s second Champions League triumph, and once again Inter’s success was not as black and white as he'd like us to think. Granted, the Nerazzurri were deserving champions, but they had their rub of the green on the path to glory too. In the second round first leg with Chelsea at San Siro, the Londoners would have probably returned to Stamford Bridge with a 2-2 draw had referee Mejuto Gonzalez awarded Chelsea a penalty for a clear last-man trip on Salomon Kalou by Walter Samuel, which could have also potentially resulted in a red card for the Argentine. In the classic semi-final win against Guardiola’s Barcelona, Mourinho has every right to complain about Thiago Motta’s unjust red card in the second-leg that forced Inter into a heroic rearguard action in Catalonia. But he overlooks Diego Milito’s offside third goal in Milan, which was ultimately the difference between the two sides on paper. As for Guardiola’s supposedly “embarrassing” Champions League successes, the 2009 semi-final second-leg at Stamford Bridge between Chelsea and Barca is in danger of turning into a mythical old wives' tale with Barcelona as the evil baddie. The truth is that of the five penalty claims that were turned down by referee Tom Henning Ovrebo, only one was a penalty – the clear handball by Gerard Pique. Dani Alves’ obstruction on Florent Malouda may have been inside the area, but obstruction is only a penalty offence when really serious, and this was not. The same can be said for Eric Abidal’s slight pull of Didier Drogba’s shirt before half-time, which preceded a one-second delay before the Ivorian catapulted himself onto the floor like he’d caught the plague. In the episode involving Drogba and Yaya Toure on 56 minutes, both were wrestling each other, and even if Kolo’s younger brother did draw back the Chelsea hitman, it was well outside the area. Finally, regarding Michael Ballack’s last-gasp appeal against Samuel Eto’o, the Cameroonian may have had his arm higher than usual, but it was clearly ball-to-hand (the very top of his arm and back), while he also had his back turned. FIFA’s ‘Laws of the Game’ at the time were crystal clear on this. It is amusing that Mourinho conveniently overlooked the fact that Abidal was wrongly red-carded on 65 minutes for a ‘professional foul’ when Anelka had tripped over his own feet. This forced Barcelona to chase the last 25 minutes of the game with just 10 men. As a result the space opened up for Chelsea on the counter-attack, and it was only after this dismissal that the stonewall Pique penalty incident occurred. It is also peculiar how Mourinho discarded the performance of referee Wolfgang Stark (Yes, the same WOLFGANG STARK from Real Madid vs. Barcelona) in the first-leg at Camp Nou. During that game, Stark waved away an excellent Thierry Henry penalty shout, failed to send off Ballack, and also harshly booked Carles Puyol, forcing Barcelona to start a left-back at centre-back, and a centre midfielder at left-back in the second-leg. The semi-final comparison to be drawn between Chelsea 2009 and Real Madrid 2011 is that both teams played anti-football against Barcelona. While Mourinho got his tactics spot on in the first two Clasicos of April, and Real Madrid picked their moments to attack Barca, in Clasico III the Special One was far too negative and brought the problems on himself. Pepe’s red card was undoubtedly harsh, but once again Mourinho ignores the fact that his naturalised countryman should have been sent off during the Copa del Rey final a week earlier. The big decisions in Valencia went the way of the Blancos. Mourinho must realise that, despite his genius, he cannot win every single trophy every year. That is an impossibility and he needs to accept his rare defeats with grace. To attempt to downgrade the achievements of a Barcelona side who are probably the most exciting club side we have ever seen - and on their way to challenging the likes of Ajax 71-73, Bayern 74-76 and Milan 89-94 for the title of greatest ever club team - is truly dishonourable. To be unable to support his wild theories with facts is hypocritical and slanderous. |
Ron: "I don’t like it any Mour" JOSE MOURINHO faced a chorus of criticism over his [b]negative [b]Real Madrid tactics [/b][/b] - led by his key man Cristiano Ronaldo. The £80million maestro stunned his outspoken boss after their shameful 2-0 Champions League defeat to Barcelona by admitting: "I don't like to play like that." Barcelona had a staggering 72 per cent of possession as the game nicknamed El Clasico was reduced to El Farcico. Ronaldo, whose side went down to two late Lionel Messi goals after Pepe was sent off, said: "I don't like to play like that at all but I have to adapt to what the team asks of me. "In absolute honesty, it's true that with 11 against 11 we didn't have chances and we didn't have a shot on target but football is like that. "This is a knockout with a home and return leg. At 0-0 it was not a bad result at home. You can score over there." Even Madrid-supporting Marca newspaper savaged Mourinho in its match report, calling the Special One's tactics "boring and vulgar". It read: "Messi dazzles a mediocre Madrid: Disappointing plan of Mourinho in front of his public". FROM THE SUN UK |
If truth be told, it baffles me how real Madrid fans are all of a sudden exuberant just for clutching a worthless draw at home against a rival team that are in front by 8 points. Is that how "near to the ground" and mediocre that the “special one” has turned Real Madrid of all clubs – 9 times European champions with most la liga tittles? How are the mighty falling. Come to think of it, if Barca’s title hope depended on that match, I am 100% certain they would have won it. Madrid admirers should stop celebrating a mere draw that has perhaps dealt the ultimate death blow to their la liga aspirations. As for Messi, I will hate him also, if I was in your shoes, sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
FOR REAL MADRID FANS JOSE MOURINHO is under fire for negative tactics in Real Madrid's bruising 1-1 draw with Barcelona. Madrid are eight points adrift of Barca in La Liga and face the Catalans again in tomorrow's Spanish Cup final, then the Champions League semi. Mourinho fielded a defensive line-up and saw Raul Albiol sent off. Dutch legend and former Barca boss Johan Cruyff said: "Mourinho is not a football coach. "To play at home with seven defenders, you must be very afraid. "It reminded me of last year's World Cup final. To my shame, Holland decided to stop Spain playing rather than play themselves." Even Madrid great Alfredo Di Stefano rapped: "Barcelona play football and dance while Madrid just run. Barca were a lion, Madrid a mouse." FROM SUN UK |
SPECIAL ONE: Deflect attention from his Liga failure and hideous tactics as he played with EIGHT defenders to avoid another 5-0 thrashing like at the Nou Camp. SPECIAL TWO: Pressurise officials both in Spain and UEFA. - [i]"We played well with 10 because we'd prepared to play with 10. I'd like to finish a game with 11 against Barcelona for once.”[/i][/b][b] SPECIAL THREE: Get under the skin of his nemesis Barcelona. “Barcelona have a control of every situation around a game which is tremendous. It's difficult to explain and I would like to have it too."[/i] Yet ref Fernandez favoured Madrid as he denied Barca a clear first-half penalty when Iker Casillas brought down David Villa. SPECIAL FOUR: Get his excuses in early before the Copa Del Rey final. "Albiol can't play the final for a foul that was nothing. You can't understand why Alves does not see a second yellow for a foul that is a penalty."[i] Real's Raul Albiol was rightly sent off for throwing Villa on the floor with the Spain ace ready to score. Madrid's was NOT a penalty as Dani Alves nicked the ball before Marcelo went down. |
what has ronaldo won for his country at any level? Mind you, even if Messi wants to leave Barca, the market price on him would be impossible for any club to land him. My guy, it's not his fault. |
I just don't comprehend why folks are jarring amid apparent facts. In every football matches that Messi and Ronaldo competed against each other, Messi, for all time, outperformed by miles. Even the most recent friendly game between Argentina and Portugal, Messi was greatly superior. Furthermore, during the very last world cup, though Messi wasn’t on the scoring sheet, every spectator could corroborate that Messi was still very exceptional for Argentina. At this moment, I don't need to jog your memory regarding Ronaldo’s uninspiring display in that tournament. Figure that out that by yourself at your own convenience. Messi is the greatest football player I have seen post Maradona and Zidane era. Of course his present unswerving superlative form was predictable given his exploits earlier in his career. As an under 20 player, he was man of the match for many youth tournaments and ultimately proceeded to triumph in both the Junior world cup and Olympics for his country. Pardon me? What has Ronaldo won for Portugal at any level? Sorry, perhaps it’s not important!! Constantly, Messi hunters strive extremely hard to associate the unassuming boy’s skill to Xavi’s and Iniesta’s mid field roles. They are quick to conveniently forget that even, when it comes to passes and assists, Messi is still as good as these fellows. My guys, undoubtedly, natural talents are certainly not constrained. Any player like Messi that is blessed with such natural talents will always stand out in any Football Club even at Real Madrid that a “5-0” annihilated coach claims to be in a “building process”. Was Rome built forever? Lastly, please be informed that it's not Messi’s fault that Barca resolved not to ever put him on the transfer market at any price. If I may ask, would you sell him if you’re the Barca president? |

Dear Cold, You’re hundred percent exact. It’s a disgrace that religious bigotry has made it impracticable for majority to observe these exploitations/extortions happening in the pretext of religion. I am in no doubt that readers will shortly counter and assert that you’re “possessed”. You are not, but a pragmatist. Nice commentary. Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Agreed, perhaps Fashola wasn’t the right person to advocate for a presidential debate! Nevertheless, the need for a debate cannot be over emphasised irrespective of who calls for it. Voters deserve to watch contenders battle it out against each other in an organised presidential debate. It would enable the electorates to make up their mind and probably lessen the backward attitude of voting based on ethnicity/religion/etc. I don't know why GEJ disciples are quick to dismiss this standard democratic practise. Is there something being shielded here? |
• In the PDP primaries, Good luck crushed the Northern candidate propped- up by IBB and co consensus deal. • No party has more structures on the ground to win or rig election in Nigeria than PDP. • Good luck is the incumbent president of Nigeria. • It's unusual for a serving president to be defeated in Nigeria. • The socio-political circumstances in Nigeria favor a Niger Delta aspirant, which Good luck is. • Evidently, Good luck is the man to beat in the April election. Given these unshakeable advantages, I am profoundly concerned that Good luck could still depict himself like one who's terrified of IBB and wouldn't triumph without his support. As a matter of fact, IBB and co. are the ones who should be queuing up to be in the Goodluck winning train. This is the only way they should remain relevant in the present day Nigeria. Good luck doesn’t just get it. Even when it's not necessary, he thoughtlessly hinted that he'll be president for only a single term just to satisfy IBB and Co? WHY FOR CHRIST SAKE!! We might say a lot about the first lady’s intelligence, but I doubt if the husband is any better. At times, I question if Good luck appreciates his position as an incumbent president and if he doesn’t, I am even more worried. Worried that, this fellow, who lacks understanding of his presidential clout, could be proficient in recognizing the much more multifaceted Nigeria’s crisis. How can he then proffer solutions? We are in real deep jam for the reason that, regardless of all the blares that Buhari and Ribadu followers are creating on NL, I can’t sensibly see any of those defeating PDP in the next presidential election. It’s a disgrace!!!! |
Revolutions are more uncomplicated in Nations than in Countries. Nigeria is not a Nation. Very few (if any) Nigerians feel any nous of Nigerian-Nationhood or be bothered about its wellbeing. It’s turn-by-turn, chop-I-chop failed state. How would you realistically induce an Ijaw or any Niger Delta man to join in a revolution in this dispensation? Is it not his turn? Why wasn't there revolution during Abacha or OBJ tenure? Or were state of affairs better at that time? There ends his debate. Again, spiritual conviction contributes a lot to individual responses and viewpoints. The Middle Easterners are predominantly Muslims. It's a lot simpler to rally the masses, particularly, after the Friday prayers, etc. In Nigeria, because of the approximately equal fraction of two key religions, it's awfully hard to get the dissimilar factions to unite in a mass protest. Whereas Christians accept prayers, faith and hope as weapons of warfare, it's not the same in Islam. If truth be told, it's easier for revolution to arise in the Northern Nigeria than elsewhere, but that would be inadequate to alter the status-quo. We just can't carry on as one Nigeria given all these apparent divergences and anticipate a revolution. No Way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sadly. |
Why plastic surgery? It's waste of money! Walk naked on the street and I bet you, no woman will attract more men than you. You may rather start by going half naked if you're too shy for full blast. Good luck! |
