when 3 or 4 people say a game seems to have glitches, then there definately is something wrong with that game.

your post is about the 3rd or 4th read that have stated that they prefer fifa 11 to the 12 version.

should i still get fifa 12 or just go for demon soul?

tayo03us:
Was in mega plaza over the weekend and saw pes 2012 and fifa soccer 2012. i think both were going for about N13,000.

so yes, pes is out and yes both fifa & pes 2012 are available at mega plaza (that's the only place i know, might also be available elsewhere).

cheers,

That depends on what you define as a "SEAPORT". If a "SEAPORT" as defined by Maritime standards and regulations is where ships (regardless of their size and use) berth, then you and I shouldn't argue about this please.

River Niger isn't a sea, but a river; however, an artificial waterway can be created from it. The Suez and Panama Canals are waterways yet large ocean liners ply that route on daily basis. There are TONS of man-made waterways, rivers, channels, etc that large ships ply through on their daily routes delivering goods around the globe. It's not the size of the water body that counts, but the depth and water density etc that counts.

Like I have always insisted, large ocean liners carrying 10,000 TEU's might not be able to berth at Onitsha port; however, I'm no marine engineer, but I honestly believe that even barges, ferries, small, or midsize ship can ply on a River Niger. Marine Engineers, please correct me if I'm wrong, a vessel's draft determines the minimum depth of water a ship or boat can safely navigate. River Niger is deep enough to allow the minimal draft of these kinds of vessels I listed. We can sit and argue about this which I won't, but until someone tells us what the minimum depth lvl is, the I rest my case.

Please STOP the notion that vessels ONLY travel on seas because that is NOT always the case. Vessels use different water bodies to cut through (save time) or whatever reason they have. If the people of the East are serious about economic activity, Onitsha Port might NOT be Lagos port; however, if they plan it out very well, they can and will explore Onitsha Port to maximum utilization using a simple hub and spoke model. Dredging and of course expansion of the water body will cause a greater impact to the city.

Yeah,all your points are spot on. However,a Seaport as the name implies is directly linked to the Sea,and not an inland waterway.

Also,the suez and panama canals were not bigger than the rivers Niger or benue a couple of decades ago,but it was the determination

and vision of their governments that paid off and today they've more than gained back a quadruple fold of what they've spent.

On my first sea voyage,while passing through the suez canal,which cost us about 25,000 US Dollars(albeit for a MSC 15,000 TEU giant),at

one point,the distance separating the Ship side and the canal's banks was down to centimeters! So,it is not very wide but very deep.

Same can be done with those two Nigerian rivers. But whether the Gov't is as visionary and committed to the cause as those other

gov'ts is open to debate.

Sorry it took me forever to reply anyways, whats wrong with your internet and have you finally downloaded the full version?? Did you ever tried to play PES 2012 too?

My server needs a makeover. I don't need to download the full version again since i have the complete package already?

PES 2012?? Is it out?

I don't think so.

dont be silly, one of the busiest waterway in the world is the strait of malacca and it is only 2.8 km at its farthest points, while the river niger , tho the bridge is about 1.5 km, the farthest points are at 4.8 km apart- not at the bridge head, but at points farther away.

the onitsha seaport u see now is only a starting point. Soludo's office is planning an integrated master plan for a comprehensive integrated seaport complex to accommodation the BIGGEST, LARGEST MARKET IN BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE AFRICA, AND SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR .


something big is coming to onitsha and asaba for real.

Don't pull what you can't get a clear grasp of,man. From your post above,i can deduce you don't know Poo about where the sea ends

and begins,and its relative expansiveness in different countries and how the territorial waters are measured.

If Onitsha is ever going to have a port,its NEVER going to be a deep sea port. Even a geographical nitwit would know that.

Along with its inland port,it could also have a lot of lighters and ICDs(Inland container depots).

As a navigator myself,i'd never steer my deep sea ship towards the channels of a delta. Any navigation officer who even contemplates that

deserves to be stripped of his badges and given 40 lashes of the horsewhip. WTF

Connoisseur:
can be ferry be classified as a cargo ship.
I thought they are two diff things

You're right. In express terms,a ferry cannot be described as a Cargo ship,even though it is capable of ferrying cargo.

Also,the waterways of Onitsha are inland around the divisions of the delta,so the ports there are NOT seaports.

I have read with acatalectic disgust, governments asinine and puerile ratiocinations attempting to justiceate the proposed removal of subsidies from petroleum products.It has asseverated that it’s intentions is guided by the need to checkmate the odoriferous excesses of a machiavellian and mephistophelean cabal and i have said to myself,what a shame?What a self indicting admittal of the failure of governance?What an hocus-pocus?

What an anathematous disdain for it’s citizenry? Must the people now bear the brunt for governments ineptitude,inefficiency and pusillanimity in squaring up with these economic philistines and fat cows? I feel even more nauseated and vexed that the Governors Forum has posthaste conferred an apocalyptic imprimatur on this genie.Let’s not forget that majority of these same Governors had earlier called for this state of affairs as a condition sinequanon for paying the minimum wage.What an opprobrium?What a deprecable descent from the sublime to the ridiculous?It’s up to us all to put this Presidential and Gubernatorial genie back into the bottle but are we prepared?

Too many cooks spoil the broth. His choice of adjectives and metaphors often conflict with the message he's trying to pass across.

(i.e if he was trying to send a message across to his listeners in the first instance at all). :

Perhaps he should just save us the message and go teach "Mrs Dame" how to stop calling herself a widow when she's not.

I'm sure her husband'd really appreciate that.

Lol, I am here in Nigeria but pre-ordered the full version before it came out, US FIFA 12 SOCCER came out on the 27th. I would say you won cos you've already played the demo even before I ever set my eyes on the game at all except on the video on Youtube , do you play online Maybe we can play someday soon, Is your PC version?

Yay,i won! Actually,I often play online but i've been disconnected for a couple of weeks now,so no online gaming for me right now.

But i have the Demo,and the FIFA 12 packs in my library right now. So,Bingo.

His prophesy was wrong

How was it wrong? He predicted an unfavorable outcome,and it wasn't just an unfavorable outcome,it was a disastrous one.

[/quote][quote author=BetaThings link=topic=773981.msg9300143#msg9300143 date=1318088857]What was the prophesy about Spain winning the WC?
Brazil losing to Holland at the world Cup?
Uruguay winning Copa America

You don't need prophesy to be a good coach

You mean you were undoubtedly sure that Holland was gonna win Brazil in the 2010 world cup?

And you already knew Uruguay were gonna win the Copa America even before it started,at the expense of Brazil,Chile,Mexico,Paraguay,Argentina?

You ought to be a mega multi-billionaire then!!!
