I bet the whole Canadian adventure is either the foundation of the relationship or is the dominant theme around the dinner table.
And I bet she used to delight in reminding the "husband" at every turn how she brought his FOB ass from Nigeria.

Love and jealousy are two emotions as different as night and day and one cannot imagine them in the same sentence and yet we constantly hear of people who are jealous of their partner’s success. Born of low self-esteem, this feeling usually starts out as possessiveness, especially when the perpetrator inwardly feels unworthy to have such a partner and wants to keep them dependent on them.
Spot on.

I was expecting an aggressive line-up like the home game against PSG. I couldn't believe my eyes. The whole of Anoeta couldn't believe their luck too. Even Moyes must have been wondering if it was a trick of sorts.

Well it's easy to blame the coach who's made his position almost indefensible. But you should be aware that this is our 4th coach in four years. No properly positioned team gets their coach changed as much as that. Let's not lose sight of that fact. undecided undecided
Yes, the moronic board got another unworthy coach. And guess what; this one isn't just unworthy; he's moronic.

With all due respect to Real Sociedad, they're no longer the talented team they once were. They have sold all their stars in past season.Our line up on the night was strong enough to beat them. Maybe it's all a fate that we keep losing on that ground no matter how hard we try. Even when Messi and Neymar did come on after the interval, we were never really looking much improved as a team, only seeing some chances go wide here and there.
Forget about sold players. Winning gives a club confidence. That's what they have going for them. It doesn't matter if there is a change of personal. It's a psychological thing. And no, Pedro and Munir are no Messi and Neymar. Once Sociedad scored, you knew we would be playing against a 10 man wall. Pedro that cannot even dribble past a mannequin? Did you see the difference when Neymar and Messi came on? Neymar's movement and runs started creating stress in the Sociedad defense line. All of a sudden Barca started looking menacing in Sociedad's box.

I know that Guardiola would've done exactly the same thing, the difference only being that Guardiola built a more competitive team.
No, you don't know that. Again, I insist that Guardiola is not that foolish. Mention just one game in which he benched Messi while playing strong opposition. Oya, just one. (I think I can even vaguely remember Messi arriving less than 48 hours before a match and still playing during Guardiola's time). Guardiola never toyed with Messi. I sure do remember him saying that all he ever does is ask Messi if he's OK to play. Messi himself decides; and of course he always says YES.

Johnpaul88:
Was he party to deciding that the stars holidays should be extended? What I heard was all south America players who wished to spend spend their holidays in their home land, all had their holidays extended.
Who else would be party to it? A clubs football manager knows he will be facing a big test on the 4th of January. Yet when the holidays of his stars got extended, he didn't make a huge noise. Which kind of manager is that? To now prove he's in control, he then benched them. Serious ode.

But Neymar and Messi only returned to the club less than 48 hours before the match. I wasn't surprised they didn't start the match. Guardiola would've benched them too. I'm certain of that.

But we're all making ourselves believe it's the sole reason why we failed to beat an average Real Sociedad team that have sold all their best players.
LOL @ certain Guardiola would've benched his best players. Guardiola is no fool. When did you ever see Guardiola bench his best players while playing strong opposition? I immediately knew his silly reason was going to be that they returned late from holidays; but the question is, did they return on the day they were scheduled to return or they returned later than expected? Now, if they did return on the scheduled date (which apparently Enrique was aware and party to), why did he agree to have 2 of his best players return that late knowing they face a big test in 2 days? What does this say of Enrique's managerial skills?

But we are missing a serious point here. Those 11 guys that started that match, do they have licence to lose matches? Aren't they fully paid Barcelona players? What if Messi and Neymar got injured, won't they be expected to win matches again?
You are the one missing the point. In trying to prove no players are expendable (knowing fully well this is not true in the case of Barca) he rather proved himself a big clown. He is the manager of Barca and should know there are matches he cannot afford to sit the big guns on the bench. Anoeta is one of those matches as the records have shown; especially since they had already beaten Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid this season at the same venue. And not forgetting that this is the time to catch up with Real Madrid (after the holiday break they are usually vulnerable). Rather he missed the opportunity. If he really wants a team with expendables, he should follow the Real Madrid model and buy 2/3 top-class players in every position.

It is hard to recruit guys for Boko Haram insurgency with a scheme like this in place. Boko Haram reportedly pays higher but the risk is much much more. When a youth knows that his country cares he is less angry and radicalized-able. When people are moved from hopelessness they start to compete with their peers. The man who is sure of N5000 will start planning on how to improve himself to start making N50k and so on. Hopelessness is a birch.
Abi? Especially when most of the Boko Haram recruits are from across the borders of Niger and Chad. Talk of hoards of "Nigerians" crossing the borders to come collect their share of the national loot.

You guys are just not on the same wavelength with a genius. Lucho or Papi Chulo or whatever you wanna call him already knew Barca would lose the match with or without the heavy artillery. So, he saved them from working too hard. Though, I will no longer surrender to self torture until this board and Chulo abi na Lucho are kicked out.

Yes....we already had a very hefty debt profile.....and the last thing we needed was additional load.
Look, only people lacking foresight would consider expenditure on rail (Metroline) as "load". This is a capital project that is self-sustaining. Before the end of the 25 year term, the rail line would've virtually paid back the money invested in its development.

6% of $450m is $27m
$27m multiply by 25 is $675m (interest)
Capital + Interest
$450m + $675m
Total Repayment: $1.125b.

I maybe wrong. You are maths expert. By the way, these loans are never fixed as the lenders are not stupid. And don't forget payment defaulting charges, facilitation fees/charges, foreign exchange rates.
Hahahaha! Jezuz.

Dude, that $27m + $450m were supposed to be paid over a 25 year period. That is what fixed rate means. The actual interest is $27 million. Meaning the yearly payment would be $19.08 million.

Now I see why Buhari cancelled the project; he must have hired an accountant like you. grin
Politics › Re: Akinjide Attacks Buhari For Truncating Lagos Metroline Project by logica(m): 2:53pm On Dec 30, 2014
Buhari, while speaking in Lagos on Wednesday at the presentation of his party manifesto, said when he got into power, the relatively stable economy, which was handed over to the government of Alhaji Shehu Shagari, had been badly plundered and corruption was rife in every sector. He added that the rail line project was meant to cost N100m, which was a large sum of money then, and the Federal Government was asked to guarantee the loan meant for the project.



He said, “Then, we didn’t know how much debt was on us as a nation and we felt that we should not add another N100m to it. I had to set up two committees to assess how much we owed and we promised not to take more loans or to devalue the naira but to develop the economy.”
^^^^^

That's Buhari's defense I saw on another thread. So according to him, the figure was 100 million?

have involved taking a hefty loan....which we won't have been able to pay back...
So paying back "$450 million loan at six per cent fixed interest rate for 25 years" was too much for us to handle? Let us examine the figures:

I see this as paying back an extra $27 million (over the borrowed $450 million) over a 25 year period. You mean we cannot afford to pay $1.08 + 18 million every year for 25 years? What are you guys on anyway?

You don't need to be an expert in economicsv to know that with international loans, the percentage you see is the rate of borrowing and does not reflect the total amount being paid back, just like the money you borrowed for mortgage.
Countries ends up paying only the interest not the actual amount borrowed.
Why do you think borrowers never ever pay off what they borrowed?
Because they service just the interest, in the end you are paying sometimes more than you borrowed over the period. And those periods no one ever gets to as the debt is frequently resheduled.
OBJ is the only person in my recollection that hard repaired foreign debt by taking advantage of the oil windfall benchmark and making the creditors an unbelievable offer of a lump sum payment if they can write-off a substantial amount. An offer they could not refuse.
No you don't need to be an expert in Economics. Being OK in Math is good enough.

Oya, how does "$450 million loan at six per cent fixed interest rate for 25 years" translate into 100% interest? How much interest is actually paid over the 25 year period? Break it down for us.

Some time fact lies on common sense. Would you you cancel a $2 dollar loan to pay $4 in penalty, even if you are a loner? Who in their right mind will believe that?
Even if Buhari is crazy, others like David Mark who were there were mad too?
Often some of you forget that it was a government made up of more than 20 persons, not a one man show and decisions are taken by majority vote within those members of Supreme Military Council and ratified by the National Council of State body. Can some of you just think and reason?

There are certain things as a learned and intelligent person you just don't entertain, let alone buy.
Please trash that appeal to commonsense/sanity or whatever you want to call it. Your post I quoted, you said the loan was at over 100% interest; yet the OP stated the interest was 6% over 25 years. Now if the OP can be proved to be correct, your credibility would be questionable to say the least.

Besides, cancelling a loan to pay a higher penalty is the least strange of things we have heard in this country; then add malice and spite to the mix. It is very much believable.
