olusipimp: I think the best bet is for the govt to grant evribodi licence to kill.

medjai: The Song rumours are gathering momentum. I think he would make a good signing. I was against us signing Martinez. Athletic's asking price of €40m is just outrageous and even though he is a better player than Song, I feel Song would offer us something different - grit, directness, craft, physicality - and add some sort of variety to our play and he'll come at a lesser price. He'd make a more sensible signing than Martinez. He's very versatile. He can play DM, CM, CB and he's got fantastic vision. He can play the final pass. He played the most through balls in the EPL last season. He's quality IMO.

ritchboy: Which kain yeye overdrive? Nothing has happened/changed since his statement.

[size=13pt]Wenger was already cooking up the 'LANS' story to avoid having to sign any new midfielders. Now we have Santi and awaiting the imminent arrival of Sahin (though I don't see this happening) . Maybe he was still going to sign them b4 van Pee popped off, but who knows? . . . [/size]

allboyz: see Santi o, Arteta wey short sef get hope, lol. . . . Solid Creativity in the middle now. . . Song + Rozzi + Mikel + Santi + Wilshere + OX + Diaby

[size=13pt] Na wah o, you didn't even include Rambo, or has he been sold ?

Kobojunkie: I don't have to deduce. I know. I just picked up the phone to call one of the numbers on of one of the sites I posted and confirmed that people do commute by Bike in Texas, especially houston and that yes, there was a Naked bike ride in that city this year as the picture says. And that this year's was not the first. And that there even with the Highway like situation, people still get around on Bikes in houston.

[size=13pt]Koboko never gives up. a n@ked bike ride & mountain biking , that answers my earlier question "to where ?", nowhere serious . Hope your contact bikes nake.d from SouthEast Houston to Greenspoint via I-45/I-610 and gets there in one piece.[/size]

Kobojunkie: Please stop talking about what you are clearly not aware of. These are not hobbyist. You do not spend tax payer money to essentially prepare 300 mile roads for hobbyists.

You don't put out information on [b]DAILY [/b]rides for hobbyists.

Rather than continue to show how UNAWARE of your surroundings you are. Pick up a phone call one of the people on the website and ask them for information on the Bicycling society right there in Houston, and I am sure they will gladly help inform you on what you are not aware of.

[size=13pt] Clearly unaware of . . . . . Maybe I drive around with shades so dark i don't see them biker mice when they ride past. But isssokayyy, I will look out for them next time. Peace out [/size]

dayokanu: Actually Texas is good for Nigerians because the weather is similar to nigeria though can be very hot in Summer.

Texas is business friendl all the major corporations are moving to texas cos of the favourable tax regimes

Dallas and Austin are becoming a huge IT hub. Companies like Dell, IBM, Oracle, are already there or moving there

Many banks are also moving their operations to Texas. JPMorgan was the first to open followed by Citi and I heard BoA is moving too.

Texas. Houston Specifically is the Oil capital of the whole world. All Oil Companies have huge offices in Houston.

If you are a Naija Owambe person, then there is no reason you shouldnt move to Houston you would party like you are in oshodi

Most of the Naija Politicians and businessmen also frequent the area and have one or two houses/businesses there.

[size=13pt]The only reason I'm in Texas
I attended more Nigerian parties in Calif. than I have in Houston[/size]

Kobojunkie: Here is a meetup for cyclists in Houston

These people are riding on roads in Houston.Not on water.

pDude: Me sef I'm considering moving there too. Heard there are good opportunities there.

ronkebp: i want to move, because of the fun, i hear they always have. Philly is boring....

Kobojunkie: um . . . but there is a bike biking community out there in Houston. I mean they do live there, hundreds of them, already!

[size=13pt] people bike for fun within their immediate vicinities but biking wont get you to any meaningful place you need to go to. you almost have to hit 1 or more highways to get somewhere. Some roads don't even have walkways for pedestrians.

The Texas monster trucks and 18-wheelers even scare motorists off the road not to mention bike, bicycle, abi keke napep. [/size]

Kobojunkie: In Houston there are over 300 miles of bikeway. I am sure other towns/cities have em too.

proudly9ja: RVP said he's not even discussed money and its about matching his ambitions. How are we sure the sudden overdrive we've gotten into are not in response to his comments? Is it a coincidence that Arsene and the board have gone against what they would normally do in past years the same period RVP decided to leave Arsenal?

MsDarkSkin: you would have to be a dunce to even consider voting for this epic failure of a politician.

[size=13pt] You'll be surprised . The outcome of the Wisconsin recall election still amazes me. [/size]

@^^ . Truthfully, the so called gaffes are serious "thinking" and deliberately designed to befuddle his supporters/Americans who do not exert themselves by reading nor thinking things through for self, most especially a "Politician's" speech plausible, correct or not. It is no wonder there are multitudes of pseudo-experts/commentators on every subject on U.S. tv to help "educate"/explain plain simple issues to gullible "natives" who have simply refused to exercise their brains. They are easily misled/deceived to believe "thrash". Is he not the male version of Palin after all, excepting the fact that he is very rich and Mormon with an air of "respectability" in the eyes of Americans . Truly Americans are no different from the Nigerian public - gullible, apathetic, ignorant and blessed with conniving/self absorbed/clueless politicians Harvard or not . Gaffes used to be part of the deal until attention to detail "busy bodies" with all manner of recording devices began to scrutinise speeches closely even for grammatical errors too .

proudly9ja: As for Song, that one no even need begging. If he says anything about ambition, we'l sell him to Enyimba afterall, they have won the Nigerian league and African Champions league and are currently in contention to win the Nigerian PL. And if he talks about DNA, we'll sell him to Canon Sportif of Yaounde.

naijababe: I wish AFC'd confirm this already, kini gan sef? Dem wan carry suspense kee pesin, mtcheww!!!

Pataki: I swear down, arsenal.com is on automatic refresh on my webpage. I wonder why these people cannot update us on time.
The suspense is just way too much. Same way they kept on posting us about Podolski. Pfffffff

manny4life: Nigeria is a top the list because unlike other nation who protect theirs, Nigeria doesn't give a damn. When Ghanian commits virtual crime, they'll blame Nigerians. When any other nations is about to perpetrate fraud, they'll use Nigerians. When you have different people who aren't Nigerians using Nigerian scam template to commit fraud, why won't it top the chart?

You're right it's difficult to erase but if you don't invest that goodwill, how do you earn the trust? How many fraud cases have you heard of in the U.S., does it mean it doesn't exist?

Nigeria was missing from the payment list because Nigerian govt (in part) isn't resolved to aggressively deal with the issue and compete for these companies to do business with Nigeria. Nigerian Govt is business as usual meanwhile the eCommerce global is leaving Nigeria behind.

Like I previously stated, the Nigerian govt is ready to deal with the issue (not ONLY corruption) but with other issues. Before these companies can come to Nigeria, Nigerian govt has to prove that they can get it right. Nigeria now has CC vendors, ATM machines, etc.,YET, the so-called banks can't even get it right. Every bank wants to invest in cheap article and you expect third party vendors to invest in you?

Take for instance, Nigeria is a "SLOW PAY" countries for wire transfers, does it mean that the banks are also defrauding or involved in corruption? Then why is the largest nation in Africa and the third largest economy in Africa a "SLOW PAY" nation compared to ordinary Ghana and Kenya?

manny4life: You strongly believe that there isn't corruption in China based on her example? I laugh in Swahili, if you believe that, you'll believe anything sold to you. The ONLY difference between China and Nigeria is that Chinese people don't do their openly while Nigerians does their openly. Ask anyone who imports from China, they will tell you their experience, Chinese OEM's are very good at scheming folks unless you know their acts, I've been a victim before.

It's not corruption but a host of different things, U.S. is as corrupt as Nigeria, in so many ways, don't get decieved. Nigeria reputation goes beyond corruption, and if you think Ibori's case is the only one, please, do you know how many grand theft and fraud cases that the U.S. has?

I do not support corruption, but all I'm saying is I've seen hardcore fraud from people whom we believe have less corruption. In all, corruption is just a minor check in our reputation, while we need serious checks and balance, other things have to be in place.
