@banom,

i doubt u r an atheist, cos u seem to knw the difference between true christianity and the one you call 'Nigerian christianity'. u r just aggrieved by certain people in christendom who wrongly interpret the Bible, giving unbalanced msgs. I agree with the second poster on this thread about people itching to hear a particular kind of message, which is often the wrong one.

there are many true christians out there. the devil know the good influence this faith can have in the world, hence using greedy/crafty individuals to attract gullible individuals. most nigerians today are lazy and see prosperity-christianity as a quick-fix way of getting rich, forgetting that the most important reason why Christ came was to save all souls. God does bless, and God sure blesses seed offering but we must understand the context in which such is done.

LET US BE CAREFUL HERE!!! GOD MAY HAVE DONE A 'MIRACLE' BUT HE WILL NOT BE PLAYING THE BALL FOR US!!!!

We had this same 'miracle' at the last nation's cup and the boys ruined their chances even with 11 players against ghana's 10. Though I see the commitment, capacity and fire from the boys, they need to work harder. Siasia needs to instill a firm discipline and unshakable concentration and confidence in the camp!

I am solidly behind the Eagles!!!! Make us proud!!!

am glad for the flying eagles. its another chance to make amends. they have got stuff but need to tap deep into them.

a lot of work need to be done on the strikers + concentration for all the players. Thats d strond point of the germans and the spaniards.

allez les aigles!!! au bout!!!

Potro played some excellent tennis. He showed a great fighting spirit. Kudos to him.

Federer didnt underrate him at all. His first serve let him down badly and thats where he is strongest. Federer did have several occasions to control the game but he lost it in the final exchanges in the second set. From there, Potro's confidence grew and Federer couldnt contain it that much.

Federer still remains the best tennis player ever, mind blowing statistics. He has won 15 slams in a period of 6 years! Played in 17 of the last 18 grand slam finals. Reached an unassailable 21 consecutive grand slam semi-finals!

Remember he is now 28 years old, while his rivals (Potro, Murray, Nadal, Djokovic) are not older than 24 years and he is still dominating. He is simply awesome!

His days are numbered though but will always be adored by all even his rivals who desire to be like him.

Who do you think is really the best player amongst these three - Messi, Kaka or Ronaldo - that a team should have?

For me, I think it's Kaka 100%.

Messi is a good individual player and very talent but he is unable to carry any team alone. At Barcelona, he surely relies a lot on the midfield engines in Iniesta and Xavi. Its obvious that such a midfield does not exist in the Argentine team and thats why we don't even hear him doing stuff there.

Ronaldo is even easier to disprove as the best player of these three. He is no doubt very talented with an ability to score with everything especially on set pieces. However, he was made by other players at Man Utd (especially Rooney). At Sporting Lisbon, the Portuguese team and now Real Madrid, he is showing that he is can be ordinary. I personally don't see him doing anything great at Real. If he will shine, he will certainly be looking for inspiration and help from the great Kaka!

Kaka, to me, is the best player a team should have amongst these three. He knows how to carry a team, whichever one. He is consistent at international and club levels. He is a good team player, ripping defenses apart with his dashing runs. AC Milan look dead without him, Brazil sees his impact when he is in the game.

What do you all think? Positive comments please,

Cameroun has retaken control of their group with a 2-1 win over ex-leaders Gabon.

Thats how you show that you are a dominant side. They took the right decisions at the right time (new coach) and things have changed in two straight games.

If truly NFF wanted the world cup badly, they would have made the right choices (players, coach, etc)! Its a pity.

Kpele to all Nigeria's football lovers like me.

what you understand about character that you are looking for? what you are calling good character might be nothing to another. Do how you define the character you are looking for? its key

Anyway, I suggest the following

1. shine your eyes (better still God-given eyes)
2. be real. be yourself
3. by her fruits you will know her
4. get wisdom, get understanding
5. check out her friends, mother and family

God help you and her to be true to each other.

one should. it strengthens the union cos there would not be secrets. wisdom should however still be considered when one knows that telling your wife would have adverse/unseen effects on the family based on her personality.

good comments nex. am with you.

no matter how bad the state of affairs in Nigeria are, no foreigner should utter such senseless comments. how does it even help their sales?

glad that the minister did respond in time but there should be more than just an apology from Sony.

Nigeria will arise again!

Its ok to do an AD but not a derogatory AD as sony's. did they have to say that to sell their products? Absolute rubbish.

Even if naija is in such a bad state as per 419, does not mean we let others to ruin what's left. Afterall, America has its many sins that the media talks no more of, cos to them its a lifestyle.

Pls FG, ban the import and further sales of Sony products in Naija and see whether they would not re-make the AD with a better msg.

Insolent, arrogant and empty Americans!

The days of the Super Eagles are gone! Welcome to the days of the Standing Eagles.
These men just stand waiting to be told to run after a player or close down a player. So pathetic! Both goals for Tunisia are goals you score in primary school football games!!
The midfield was non-existent. How can u play two presently defense-minded individuals (Mikel and Seyi) plus an out-of-place striker (Kalu) together?

See the ratings below on a score of 10:

Vincent Enyeama, 0: did nothing all day but enjoyed watching the ball in his net. A normal good shot-stopper but today a ball-picker. Didnt even attempt to stop the second goal!

Adeleye, -3: Absolute disaster! He assumed he was played volleyball and just refused to run. Responsible for goal number 2 in partnership with Taiwo. Thankfully, he didn’t have his name on the score sheet.

Yobo , 3: Did a lot of the dirty jobs left by others but was too much of a gentleman in defense. It’s not golf, its football! Too static

Taiwo, -2: That guy is finished! Someone who would run so fast and offensive just watched the Tunisians all the day. He has an ‘assist’ though in the Tunisian’s second goal.

Adefemi, 4.5: The one guy in defense who had a pretty Ok game with respect to the others. Sent in a good cross that Mikel chose to head out. The Tunisians never did trouble him much. But made a fews good errors as well.

Kalu Uche, -3: Did he play? Didn’t see him in this match. Was the missing link in our midfield.

Seyi Olofinjana, 3: Too slow, long range useless passes, never thinks of attacking, didn’t really know what to do with the ball. Arrgghhhh. He showed he was important, off the pitch, when he was replaced and we conceded!

Mikel Obi, 4: One word, latent talent. He reminded us of his creative abilities in the second goal. He couldn’t impose himself and was constantly confused about whether he was playing a Chelsea game or Nigerian game. He needs to be returned to his natural attacking midfield position.

Kanu, 3: Three slow, but his presence was felt, em em.

Osaze, 6: the only one understood the importance of the three points at stake. Brilliant individual play leading to the first goal. Did his best as always but…

Ike, 4: showed some of his brilliance but well taken out by the Tunisians. Didn’t want to score, cos he just refused to shoot! With this performance, he will need other key players to help him shine. Still needs to mature.

Obasi, -1: Did he play? Oh yes, he committed an unnecessary foul in the first half instead of putting pressure on the defender. Excitement about his return was just wasted energy.

Nsofor, 4: One assist isn’t bad. At least he had his name in the statistics.

Eneramo, 5: Scored a goal and refused to score another. What sort of backward football was that?

Amodu, Amodu. You should have allowed SiaOne take your job. Now how do you get out of the mess?

Seyi out, Kalu out, Obasi out, Adeley out, Taiwo out
Kaita in, Etuhu in, Ajilore in, Aluko in, Elderson in, Nwaneri in, Apam in

Ayegebeni pls recover
Am I too generous with my points? lol

@ladoma,

am very interested in the total cost of our friend's construction. i am about to start the same - a twin duplex, 4 bedroom. i already have the drawings and will be performing a BOQ as well. your response could serve as a good comparison/reference.

@Mowire,

I am asking for an estimate, not an exact figure. rgds

@Yemtech,

How much will you charge for building a 4 bedroom twin duplex + 1BQ each (attached) in the Ajah area?

Yemtech,

How much will you take to build a 4-bedroom twin duplex+1 BQ each in Ajah area?

I have a BOQ of about 15M. Do you think this is realistic? Please help!

Can someone please tell me what the cost estimate is to construct a twin duplex of 4 bedroom each + 1BQ each in ajah area on a single plot, lagos with good finishing?

I will also like to meet some QSurveyors and builders? Kindly send me an email on moyakhil@yahoo.com. I intend to start this project as soon as possible.

I appreciate all your responses!!!!!!!!!!!

God bless.

its a great thing if two virgins marry. its all about communication and patience. u express ur feelings to ur partner. thats y marriage for a lifetime. you improve day by day.

sometimes we focus too much on the pleasure and forget the bonding. virgin girls generally want experienced guys, to be sexually satisfied but what if you cant satisfy him? what do u think he will do? remember that he has had a lot of exposure and it will surely play in the current relationship. if u the girl cant satisfy him, surely he will look for it outside or live frustrated.

we guys easily recall all our sexual acts with old partners and this can easily affect the current relationship.

nobody was born with expert sex techniques. we all learn. even the 'experts' learned.

@design5, the actual dimensions r 37.7m by 18.4m, what do u think? the 18.4m faces the road

thank u all for your assistance. can I get more details by email if possible such as cost, charges for work/design, contact details, etc?

I am new into this sector and would like your candid opinions about building a 3-unit row/terrace duplex of 4 bedroom each.

I have a parcel of land about 700 sq. m. Will this conveniently carry the plan with spacious rooms?


Thanx!!

Kai! wonders will neva end.

though the question 'appears to sounds innocent',, i think its a degrading and silly one. forgive me, if i sound harsh.

how can u qualify your wife, in terms of costs?!? Is she a slave or an object to keep? haba. You should be one with your wife. You could as well as ask ' how many times should I sleep with her in a month'?

I am a man and I think you first need to understand what marriage is all about and who a WIFE is (not girlfriend, lover, mistress, gold-digger, etc) to a man (husband).

He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from God. You will not get that from a slave or an object to keep.

@poster,

why make things difficult for yourself? u cant even trust her enough. why put yourself in a difficult position.

if you consider this person as your partner for life, marry her and get the worries off your short life!

disturbed,

from my little experience, my wife and I were like that when we started dating, but as the relationship grew with time, the 'conflicts' started showing up and brought growth to our rship!!!

there are many things you need to examine, especially about YOURSELF! How have your old relationships been like as well as those you have seen and heard of from your pallies? Regular fights, disputes etc. sometimes, we unconsciously look for things in our rship that existed in our old rships.

u also need to understand her too. she may have just grown to be a peacemaker, or may be u havent 'stuck' where it hurts yet. I hope she's not playing good now until to 'strike' later.

Be sincere with her and ask all the questions that bother u! best of favour.

Its not a new thing, looking for the gullible ones. It only calls for vigilance and wisdom.

If one has a problem with his ATM, he should see his bank. I am sure no one ever got his card directly from Interswitch.

can anyone help me out with the present day 2009 cost estimates of building a 4-bedroom duplex and 4 blocks of 3-bedroom flats in ajah?

is there any functional link where one can check the latest prices of construction materials?

many thanks!!!
