I don't know why this man only sees vision of evil things

Evil things you said? Bros i am a muslim oo but when someone called you and tell you that you will be president even b4 you contest for an election, what will you do after you were eventually declared the president elect of The Republic of Tanzania? That is exactly the case here and hence his invitation for tomorrow's swearing-in ceremony

The Kick off time for Nigeria is 12:00am

Fifa revealed it to be 20:00(8pm), and they are 4 hours behind us

If the FIFA time is 20:00 GMT, then it is 9:00pm Nigerian time, so pls confirm if is GMT or not

blueto:
I presume that one of the reasons for the impermanence and indubitable failure to implicitly transits the sublime performance to the senior world cup is because of lack of steadfastness by homogeneous set of players.

we were hoping and maintaing a resolute fidelity on the previous U-17 lads to evovle to the U-20 world cup and win it, since they did absolutely well in the U-17. but they ended up being one of the commiserated teams in the tornament.

this is because they are now virtually deviod of thesame level of dedication and passsion of which they formally possessed during the U-17 world cup. they played the U-17 world cup with great commitment because they know that it was an unprecedented vantage of displaying their phenomenal talents to the world, and most especially to secure the attention and the induction into some prestigious clubs, to play and earn in the top league and clubs!
At this stage, they are ready to do anything just to record an impressive performance.

But onces they have succesfully achieved this objective, they begin to exprience a frivolous and a declining enthusiasm for the national team. they no longer put in their best, because of they have gotten want they wanted.

And aslo because of the saying that 'Nigeria is not worth dieing for'
If any detrimental situation betide them during national football matches, they will be forgotten without any indemnification for them and their families.
Nigerias praise and consider you when you are active and yeilding great results, but they desert you in the time of adversity.
And I predicate that such pedestrian mindset by Nigerians is one of the major deterrents to them.

Brother, in as much as I would like to agree with you from the beginning, I will also disagree with you about their reasons for not performing at the highest level.
Aside the fact that club side commitment which is proportional to input and output that ultimately lead to National invitation at the Super Eagles level, simply put these players live large during their footballing career which is usually short and they dont return home to come and invest after retirement, rather they will stay put and be paying huge tax bills b4 they will finally return home when things have already fallen apart.
Secondly, these players gets a minimum of $5000 per match *just convert that into Naira and see* apart from the return flight tickets to and fro their various club base and this does not also include the daily camping allowances oo
Thirdly, if you know the number of unemployed youths with BSc, BA, NCE, ND, MSc, MBA etc rooming the street and you are expecting the Nigerian government to be spending and catering for the welfare of these footballers after retirement when you know very well that FIFA gives equal amount to all federations irrespective of a country's population. The only other means of getting more money by every federation aside the FG allocation is via sponsorships and that can only come forth when the senior Team is doing successfully well as well as the local league doing same.
Pls just try and grab what i am saying here as I couldn't go through to edit anything

VickyRotex:
Yea. It's all good jare.

Thanks!

Alright. Above all, I believe CHELSEA will bounce back before the international break with the matches in mid-week's champions league and weekend's EPL against STOKE CITY

Happy birthday Zeeenas! You shall live more to receive pleasing and fruitful birthday pleasantries from this generation through to that of your great grand kids

TonyeBarcanista:
Haha, you make sense oga but.. You didn't factor operation cost, maintainace of their facilities, wages and salaries, security, kick-backs that officials demand etc. Then we move to posting profit for shareholders and surviving in the market under a hard Nigerian environment. Boss, give MTN 10years and they won't be able to pay. We are talking of $5billion here o.

Boss if you actually read meaning into my comment then you will know that no other thing will be affected except share dividend slightly since the fine is not to be paid once. And the fear of paying once was responsible for the crashing of SA stock exchange last week since MTN's operation in Nigeria is responsible for their profile boosting in SA and across other African countries. So they cant afford to loss their operation licence even though Nigeria too will greatly be affected by such a withdrawal.
Have you ever wonder why the increasing ambassadorial/celebrity sponsorship contract and the huge amount paid them by this telecom companies when almost all adult Nigerians have atleast one SIM card already.

TonyeBarcanista:
The news is more of speculation. MTN can't afford that kind of money. Except there will be some kind of waivers, a suspended payment or spread payment. Otherwise, the company CAN'T afford it. We also can't afford to have their license suspended.

Brother let me prove to you why they have agreed to pay the money.
1 MTN has a customer base of atleast 30Million
2 The minimum amount for calls on all network is #6 if 11k/seconds option is activated
3 so assuming a base of 30million and #6 a minute call =#180million
4 for 10minutes call =#1.8Billion
5 for 100minutes call =#18Billion
6 for 1000minutes call =#180Billion
7 Remember the actual minimum bill per minute is #6.60 instead of #6
8 Others might have subscribed to higher tarrif
9 The 1000minutes call per customer is pegged for 1year, meaning several others will exceed that estimated figure
10 The MTN customer base is more than 30million benchmark
11 This does not include bills for various data plan subscribed for by this same customers
12 Besides it has been agreed to be paid concessionally, meaning may be to be paid instalmentally for 4years
13 So customers should not be scared of any rip-off from MTN has nothing negative will come from them in the spirit of competition
14 I hope I made sense small

VickyRotex:
Hmmmm! There are physical lapses though.

It's all good. Service was wonderful. Thank you!

If any physical lap was noticed, then I think its the fear factor that has been lost despite being the defending champion just like how Man U lost theirs also but ironically that is Arsenal's major gain this season thereby sky-rocketing our confidence level
Great to hear how exciting your service went

VickyRotex:
Yea Right! It's all for fun.

Really, not taking it personal though. Just that my expectations were cut short.

Its just one of those time that things manifest in such a way that is beyond human comprehension with GOD by the corner trying to dictate to us that he is in charge, else how can one explain what is happening in your club with the same setting that made you Champions and same kind of fate has befelled Juventus too after winning the Scudetto for 4 or more straight years
How was your service today?

VickyRotex:
No you can't reverse my sense of belonging, patriotism and loyalty

I have no plan to do that either and I must say it will be fun being aroud you as blue is also my favourite colour and I do not hate the club too afterall we are all based in London but the reverse is the case when the word competition & bragging right comes into play. I am sure that also explains your emotional attachment, so dont worry, be happy, *ofcourse U are 4 even replying me* its all about fun and fun has no negativity in its meaning but full of positivity ok

Gboliwe:
So, two out of 37 nominees say they are ready to work for free and this becomes this deceptive headline? How can 2 out of 37 be termed "some". Nigerians and our use of English sef or is it the normal propaganda talking now?

By the way, those two who made that statement are likely not going to have any portfolios if I have to go by what the terrorist said. That Shittu fanatic is a disgrace to the good people of Oyo

Let the deception stop with you and the change start with as I personally can see 4 and not 2 as you have just portrayed. Besides if 1 or 2 persons in position of authority in a country, state, local govt, community, organisation, establishment or forum says anything, is it not usually seen and portrayed as coming from all and sundry concerned with such group? We just like and cherish criticism all in the name of right of being entittled to one's opinion

VickyRotex:
We're praying hard o

Even in Relegation, I remain loyal to Chelsea

I like your sense of belonging, patriotism and loyalty. Dont you think I can reverse that? Or you get offered a fun-filled experience from someone with an opposing interest only in the football club alignment?

aspabay:
What is this one saying? You will be suprise at the number of followers of premiership there in the north. Ignorance is no bliss.

Arsenal, Man U (United) and Madrid (Madara = Milk from the name and because its famous with white jersey) have the highest followership, then a little of Chelsea and Barcelona. But you dont actually know that Arsenal has huge fan base until it wins 'big' matches. But Chelsea alway behave as if they are the largest though mostly represented by my SW, SE and SS brothers

VickyRotex:
Everybody go dey claim Arsenal now.

Abeg, Proudly Chelsea jare.

We will rise again

Pray hard you dont go on relegation oo else that will be the end of CHELSEA just like we have never seen READING, BIRMINGHAM CITY, BOLTON WANDERERS, WOLVE HAMPTON WANDERERS, FULHAM, PORTS MOUTH, LEEDS UNITED, MIDDLESBOROUGH, DERBY COUNTY, WIGAN, CHARLTON ATHLETIC, QPR, HULL CITY, BLACKBURN ROVERS, etc again because all the present players will leave to other clubs and fighting back up will become a problem

dotcomnamename:
I agree, however, you cleverly avoided Man City. Does it mean Man City will fold their hand

I have actually modified it to correct the clean sheets error. Its actually 6 in the EPL and I have also include the next 11 EPL matches including Man City and Liverpool with a minimum of 2 goals margin. In between then, Man City will also play other top teams and may be drop more points just like I have calculated they will do against us before we meet Chelsea again in our 12th straight EPL match on January 23rd 2016

dotcomnamename:
So because we beat NEWCASTLE, STOKE CITY, CRYSTAL PALACE, MAN U, WATFORD and SWANSEA CITY. We will win the title? Do you still remember a season when we were leading with 9 points? Don't you think its too early to tip us? I could be wrong, but can you analyse it more??

1 Yes and I say it with full confidence because all this teams we have overcame used to give us headache in the EPL in the past.
2 when we bought CECH from CHELSEA, JOHN TERRY said during an interview that CECH will save ARSENAL 12 points and he has actually saved us 11 points from NEWCASTLE, CRISTAL PALACE, LIVERPOOL, MAN U and SWANSEA matches.
3 CECH has kept 6 clean sheets out of 11 EPL matches. Meaning we have never had reliable goal keepers over the years after DAVID SEAMAN & JENS LEHMAN
4 We presently have the best young right full back-BELLERIN, best center back-KOSCIELNY, best Aerial goal scorer-GIROUD, best defensive mildfielder-COQUELIN, best chances creator and assist provider-OZIL all in the EPL statistics this season
5 By this time last season after 11 matches, we had 17 points unlike the 25 points we have now and then we haven't played this stuborn teams of which draw is what we usually hope for
6 We dont normally start well during the first round of matches because of injuries to key players until second round when they would have returned but this season is even worst with RAMZY, OSPINA, WILSHERE, ROSICKY, WELBECK, WALCOT, CHAMBERLEIN, ARTETA all out injured already yet we are still performing
7 Because we have won our last 3 EPL matches with 3 goals each, LUIS VAN GAAL has challenged MAN U players to do like ARSENAL if they really want to be EPL champions since our victories were actually against teams we hardly overcome, so if they emulate us and we do not relent, then we still stay atop till the end
8 The 9 point lead we lost was due to the injury we suffered then coupled with the fact that we only relied on strikers for goals unlike now and LEHMANN actually fumbled in the last part of that season. But I believe CECH is going to be our BUFFON.
9 WENGER has priotised EPL challenge this season hence his reason for using CECH for EPL matches only in other not to wear him out and OSPINA for other cup competition not until he was injured.
10 if we dont loss against big teams again and we continue to score atleast 2 goals in every of our next 11 EPL matches with TOTTENHAM, WEST BROM, NORWITCH, SUNDERLAND, ASTON VILLA, MAN CITY, SOUTHAMPTON, BOURNEMOUTH, NEWCASTLE, LIVERPOOL and STOKE CITY before we face CHELSEA again on january 23rd, you will see the fear factor everywhere and that could see us breaking our own record of winning streak

gradeA:
I see Chelsea finishing 1st next season.

The league one championship is a very competitive division, but I trust Chelsea has the ability to make it there.



Should Chelsea go any lower, they would surely find gold.

Bros if the unexpected happened eeehh! I bet you that will be the end for CHELSEA. Can you please remember BOLTON WONDERERS, MIDDLESBOROUGH, LEEDS UNITED, PORTS MOUTH, WIGAN ATHLETIC, CHARLTON ATHLETIC, DERBY COUNTY, WOLVE HAMPTON WONDERERS, etc they all went on relegation and never came back yet. So if CHELSEA also goes on relegation, coming back wont be easy because all present players would have left to other clubs.

M4gunners:
The League is ours this season.

I believe you brother.
Just check out our victory so far and ironically all against our traditional conquerors- NEWCASTLE, STOKE CITY, CRYSTAL PALACE, MAN U, WATFORD and SWANSEA CITY. Not forgeting that LEICESTER CITY's only loss was inflicted by our darling ARSENAL except WEST HAM who conprehensively defeated us and our only draw & the other loss against LIVEPOOL &CHELSEA respectively where controvercial with RAMZY's goal being disallowed and CHELSEA having red card advantage. EVERTON are our usual customer. Remember also that we dont usually pick up early like this season. However, to be honest with you, CECH actually came and change every thing including our confidence level

It's been long I posted on Nairaland. your post brought me out to dance. Gunners for life

Yes oo Gooner 4 life

itodoho:
great. Thanks man. Can u expantiate on BST and CAT time with respect to nigerian time?

sorry I have been busy watching EPL & Madrid matches.
BST *British Standard Time* is the local time in Britain (ENGLAND, WALES, SCOTLAND, NORTHERN IRELAND) before the shift which ironically corresponds to NIGERIAN TIME.
CAT *Central African Time* is usually the Timing Standard for African Countries from which every other country can calculate its own. There is also EAT and WAT (But they are not usually applicable unless someone is outside of east or west Africa)
So if a time is 12:00 CAT, minus 1
if it is 13:00 CAT and above, minus 13, if it is 01:00 CAT and above, minus 1. All above will give you local time in NIGERIA and other 15 West African Countries (WAT) EXCEPT GHANA because GHANA has exactly GMT timing. Take care

LONDON IS THE STANDARD ZONE FOR WORLD TIMING. SO EU NATIONS NOW HAVE THEIR POSITION SHIFTED RELATIVE TO OTHER NATIONS OF THE WORLD.
HENCE WHENEVER YOU SEE ANY TIME GIVEN WITH GMT *Greenwitch Meridian Time * LIKE 12:00 GMT and above, just minus 11 and when you have 01:00 GMT and above, just add 1 to get the Nigerian local timing
so 12:45 GMT-11 = 1:45pm NGT

Good morning ex-first lady

Lool at 'dreaming'. Dont wori bro, we taking our place back.

Ur first 11 consist of biscuit boned players just like phil jones at utd. No matter d clue dey take from ronaldo, messi, hazard. Dey will always b injured, e.g 'wheelchair'. He is such a talented baller buh he is injury prone.

I wish arsenal well this season, but nt against me sha.

Hv a sporty weekend.

Smh and smiling at biscuit boned players.
Thank you for your prayer but I dont have to wish you victory over CRYSTAL PALACE 4:00PM saturday because they are your perennial customer as CP is yet beat your MAN U in 14 EPL matches since 1991 but I still have to pray you win against them because your team is yet to score a goal in the last 210 minutes of football.
Dont forget the timing oo as EU time is now in tune with GMT standard thus all 3:00pm matches are now to be played at 4:00pm and CHELSEA vs LIVERPOOL is now 1:45pm instead of 12:45 Nigerian timing oo
Enjoy a sporting weekend too

Mr president I dislike unnecessary argument sir. How do I say it again? Every Nation of the world have leaders and does their activities restrict the citizens from living their normal daily life? I mean I cant just understand. Somebody wants us to talk about politics but not acting it, what does that suggest? If you dont want to act then choose the area of interest you prefer nawn

VIPERVENOM:
These ppl have no soul.....a hundred year old woman for dat matter

I am telling you and its not limited to the average people alone oo as I could remember watching a sponsored program on AIT when GOV DICKSON and his closed allies were accusing SYLVA of not visiting ALAM's bereaved family on time until about a week after ALAMS death. Can you imagine that? Just because he wants to score cheap political point. But DICKSON himself has forgotten that he said ALAMS is a PDP man and everything about his death shall be handled by the PDP, so for SYLVA and his people to have gone there within that same week, I believe your guess of what would have followed is as good as mine. I just cant understand this people, the most important thing is that SYLVA still payed them a visit so why the fuss about the timing?

Greycious:
we aint developing dat kind of culture similar to arsenal's few years back. I'm sure the glory days will return to the 'theatre of dreams' sooner than later.
Injuries hv always been part of football, every manager should expect that n be able to manage d situation, so dat shouldnt be an excuse.
U guys are trying dis season sha but i dont think arsenal will finish ahead of utd cos epl is a marathon.
As for mourinho, i think his ideas are not working anymore, he shld find new methods of winning or baba olowo shld sack him asap.
As for old trafford being a heaven...abeg leave dat craziness for d oyinbos. I can agree its a second heaven sha. I would postpone my wedding if its falls on a day utd has a match....dats hw much i love my club.

-Ok oo dreaming is allowed anyway
-Not giving excuse per say but because of my players flexibility and flairy nature which leaves them prone to attack from opposition hence I am challenging them to take a clue from RONALDO & MESSI who hardly get injuréd inspite of all attacks and challenges except of recent because they use their heads.
-Yes EPL is a marathon but what has been working for ARSENAL so far has been the ability to have overcome some traditional stubborn teams against our progression such as your MAN U, STOKE CITY, NEWCASTLE, CRYSTAL PALACE & WATFORD not forgeting that LEICESTER CITY's only loss so far is to ARSENAL. And our loss to CHELSEA was controversial except WEST HAM that had beaten us comprehensively along side 3 other top clubs away from home for that matter.
Mourinho would have been gone by now but Baba Olowo doesn't want to waste £38-£40million compensation but if he personally resign then he wont have to pay such huge amount. Although he has now changed his mind saying if CHELSEA losses against LIVERPOOL, then Mourinho is going.
-My brother nothing compares to HUMAN LIFE PARTNER oo when talking about TRUE LOVE dearest to our HEART. I really understand where you are coming from interms of being a football club fan. Though I am not married yet but everything must be kept in it rightful place oo when a FEMALE version of LOVE *special & critical version as well as the driving force behind other versions later in life* comes into ones life oo.
Note other versions of LOVE in a man's HEART includes Love for food, music, football, dress, job, extended family, cars, betting, etc

I am sure you also saw the positive WENGER saw in IWOBI AND BILEIK mehn as other top clubs were opening the book of lamentation right. Above all, OLISEH is ready for success mehn for if SUPER EAGLES players can cultivate the unselfish disposition of IHEANACHO from his contribution to MAN CITY's mauling of the PALACIANS last night

Any body knows how dose one go about re-mobilisation. I was mobilised for 2015 Batch B stream one but couldn't make it to camp.
Do I have to involve my school or just go to the nysc website when 2016 batch A commences.

I GUESS READING THIS WILL HELP YOU MAKE A DECISION
1 NYSC runs on a budget every year
2 The budget covers all expenses on a DEFINITE number of CMs
3 The eventual total number of mobilised CMs can be LESS due to cases like yours but CAN NEVER be MORE THAN the number planned for.
4 HENCE the reason for giving certain quota to each skul depending on population
5 It is based on the quota given by NYSC that each skul works on
6 BROTHER if you fail to get back to your skul for a new shortlisting, it means that NYSC total budgeted for will be exceeded and it may not be you alone across Naija, hence the site may not have plan for you and others, SO IT IS A MUST FOR YOU TO GET BACK TO YOUR SKUL OOO TO BE ON A SAFER SIDE
7 Your skul can even offer you valuable advice
8 It is because of the programmed planning that usually result to some CMs not getting there allawee on time after redeployment oo
9 After meeting your skul, then you will use the re-mobilization column. Its like you will even do that b4 newbies sef

Greycious:
Lol. Dont mind d always talking mourinho, always full of excuses. I'm on the red side of manchester, it has nt been easy during this post fergie era but utd will always be my darling club. Going to wales is always a huge task but u guys hv really suprised me this season esp d 3-nil u humbled me and d way u defeated bayern with their hot Lewy. I just hope u have enof bullets to mount a title challenge cos it seems u always run out of bullets when it matters most.

Mourinho is clawn nawn.
Hmmmmn I feel for you guys oo although it only afforded you REDS the opportunity to develop a learning culture of patience, patriotism and perseverance that we are used to over the years but I KNOW YOU REDS IN NIGERIA NEY AFRICA CAN NEVER AND WILL NEVER CONFESS THAT OLD TRAFFORD IS YOUR HEAVEN. Lol. I mean those oyinbos are crazy mehn.
Not that we really easily run out of bullet per say but injury crisis has alway been our bane and this season is no exception as RAMSEY WILSHERE WELBECK ROSICKY WALCOT CHAMBERLEIN ARTETA OSPINA have all fallen prey again. But we are very optimistic of the EPL tittle this season having won the FA cup and Community Shield back-to-back with the coming of OZIL & SANCHEZ a season each and now CECH who has actually been our saviour thus far.

Thank you for the reception. I hope the return on investment is great cos dats wat business is bout.

sure be rest assured that the government of the day is investment friendly as examplified by the unbundling of GOTEL but you must also be ready and willing to obey the laws of the land to avoid heavy fine and sanction
