Please stop making excuses for the FG....[/quote]I'm not excusing the government.

I am just stating a fact.....education is expensive, but both the government and the masses refuse to pay for it.

Thing is, it is going to take a lot more than the one trillion naira to make our universities world class.....and while we are on universities, our public secondary and primary schools are in a bad state. They need increased spending badly....and some of that money is going to come in increased fees if the government is not serious.

I happen to agree with those who say that ASUU's money demands are 'too much', but the problem is, if we all agree with that assumption, that will lead to increased fees, which most people won't be able to pay. So governmet needs to increase funding for education now.

And it is a shame that the source of the cash is just oil. We need to diversify, diversify!

[quote author=esbjay@gmail.co]i sincerely agreed with you, my company just employed one guy (an electrical engineer), to be sincere with you this guy doesnt know how to use tester, he doesnt know anything about electrical, i just discovered today that the guy is zero theoretically and i asked myself one question, how does this guy passed his exams, a Bsc holder from ESUT. I'm equally a fresh graduate (mechanical engineer) but i can dismantle, assemble and overhaul an engine without any supervision. i was telling him what and what i can do which i did some in his presence and he asked me a question, where did u learn all these from? my response goes thus....... i did siwes and IT and i took it upon myself that i must know these things. today i can conveniently lay my hand on heavy duty engines and any mechanical machines as well as air condition and refrigerator. i think its just mind set. believe me[/quote]Sad tale.

The problem is, most students in our universities think that you learn everything in university....and refuse to acquire the extra skills needed to survive in the workplace.

As a medical student,during my school days, I attached myself to a rural hospital for the holidays. Learned a lot of things that they do not teach you in medical school.(and medical school is heavy on the practical stuff).

Another problem is that most students so not have the place to do industrial attachment....due to the lack of industries in the country.

Finally, most students just want to use their degrees to get a desk job.....practicality no dey their blood!

Reason why Nigerian graduates cannot get jobs..

1.Our Economy is oil reliant....meaning we use the money we earn from selling oil to import the things we should be manufacturing. This leads to a reduction in industries....and as a result, a reduction in jobs.

As an example....back in the 80'S when I was a child., all the biscuit I ate was made in Nigeria.Foreign made biscuit was a once in a year treat. Now, foreign made biscuits are sold in all the roadside shops in Nigeria, because we are using our oil money to import them....meaning that our local biscuit manufacturers cannot make profits, and close down...and of course..there goes the jobs.

2.Our young people are not going for skills-based vocations.Instead, they all want to enter university so that they can graduate and get a desk job that will enable them to earn hefty salaries. Even those who do skills-based courses like enginerring do not use their skills at all...they head off into the banks, and business. And our young innovators are not setting up innovative industries....they are looking for contracts. Of course, since there are too many 'clerks' and too few jobs for the 'clerks;....unemploymnet results.

What do we do.....simple. Stop relying on oil, and start relying on brains and innovation.

Sarcoc: Plenty idiots dey this country called Nigeria. Look at you guys supporting ASUU and it's reckless use of a critical tool (strike). 5 months on strike - this is share recklessness and bad will.

One of you here should tell me where else in the world "no confidence in government" has been accepted as a legitimate reason to go on strike!!

No wonder the graduates in Nigeria turn out below standard. If their so called lecturers are such idiots.

Well, the basic reason why ASUU iss till on strike is that they want government to pay ther salaries from the strike(wrong) as well as to start paying the money for university facilities(good).

I disagree with reason 1, but reason 2 makes a lot of sense.....if we are to avoid an increase in school fees in the next decade.

[quote author=Nigellus_Hosan]When On TV they'd ask those kids wharf do u want to be in Future...
It was always doctor..Lawyer..pilot..Engineer....most of the time..


What was urs ?

What are U doing now or working towards ?[/quote]As a child, I did not know what I wanted to be.....until I was 13 when I settled on the idea of being a medical doctor, and apart from a brief romance with the idea of being a pharmacist two years later, eventually entered medical school...and am a doctor today.

As an adult, however, I still think about what I want to be, instead of medicine, ...and right now, I would like to be a deep space cosmonaut/astronaut, only this time, travelling in an inter-stellar starship, on mankind's first journey to the Sirius system, 80 light years away.....

Sadly, we haven't discovered Faster-than light travel yet!

ASUU should call off the strike......and government should increase funding for education......

If the Government cannot increase funding for education, then they should tell us so that we can prepare to pay increased taxes and increased fees to maintain the schools at world class levels because , honestly, oil prices are falling, and the oil money is not enough to sustain the level of funding needed to make our schools.....universities, secondary and primary schools to function effectively

I must run....but wanted to post this article....

The Dangers of Sex Before and Outside of Marriage

Greg Baker, Yahoo Contributor Network

Simply because something has become more acceptable to society as a whole doesn't make it either right or without consequences. There are very real dangers that are associated with sex before and outside of marriage. I'm not looking for people to agree or disagree, but rather I'm looking to make some very sound, very logical, very clear presentations of the dangers.


IT IS THE NUMBER ONE SOURCE OF STDS

Statistics prove that having multiple partners increases the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. Some are curable and some aren't. And if you choose to have sex before or outside of marriage then the odds are you'll have multiple partners. This is a danger that I'll not linger on for it is one of the most known and written about.

Even a casual goggle search will reveal article after article on this subject.

IT MAKES HAVING A LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP MORE DIFFICULT

Sex before or outside of marriage begins to gnaw away at your emotional ties to long term relationships. You find yourself divorcing your emotions from the actual act of sex. This cheapens your emotions and short-circuits your ability to form lasting and meaningful relationships.

Sex is a highly emotional experience-at least it ought to be. If it is not, then I can bet you've had multiple partners already. Molesting a child does emotional damage to that child for the rest of his or her life. This merely demonstrates the emotional impact of sex on our mental state. Even for a teenager or young adult, having sex outside of the committed relationship of marriage damages us emotionally and makes having a future lasting and committed relationship more difficult and for some impossible.

If you have any desire at all for a lifelong relationship where two people have given each other fully and completely to each other, consider what I am saying. Sex before marriage or outside of it damages your chances.

If sex is the foundation of a relationship, the relationship itself has very little to support it. The foundation of a marriage ought to be the commitment they both people have towards each other. The sexual act becomes a wonderful expression of that commitment, it says, "You and only you." But sex outside of marriage says something completely different. It certainly harms your ability to stay within a lasting and meaningful relationship.

Over the years that I've been counseling marriages, the ones that seem to have the fewest problems and the ones that seem to be strongest are those that saved themselves for each other. They let sex become a statement of their commitment and dedication, not a selfish fulfillment of a bodily function.

But the marriages where either of the two have had sex before or outside of it have commitment issues. They can't have sex with each other and have it mean the same thing as those who saved themselves. I have to help them find another means to express that commitment.

IT MAKES SEX, AS AN EXPRESSION OF LOVE, EMPTY

The standard argument for having sex outside of marriage or even before it is this: If two people love each other, then what is so wrong with having sex?

If the only means to say, "I love you," is to have sex, then we are in trouble. Sex ought to be the final expression of your love when you have thrown yourself completely and absolutely into a lifelong relationship. Anything less than complete commitment makes the expression of sex mundane and often even vain.

Someone who only seeks to have sex without the emotional impact of it only wants the physical ride, but not the expression of love that is meant to go with it. I've witnessed so many people struggle and struggle to find any meaningful relationship. Love has been cheapened to them and often becomes empty.

Sex, as a final act of commitment, is a powerful statement of love, one that my wife and I cherish deeply. I am so glad that I was able to give her this gift, and that she was able to give this to me. Sex, for us, deepens our commitment and rekindles our excitement. But done outside of the marriage, this no longer becomes true.

IT ROBS YOU OF SELF WORTH

Sex ought to be the period or exclamation mark on your love and commitment to another person. Take away the commitment and replace it with a cheap love, you rob yourself of one of the most precious gifts you can give. It also damages your own self worth. You'll begin to think either less of yourself, or others will think less of you. A woman who is loose is seen as a cheap thrill for a man. A man who goes from woman to woman is usually seen as a bad risk by a woman seeking to have a real and meaningful relationship.

More than that, people who never get to know you emotionally, spiritually, or mentally and still have sex with you never do get to know you beyond that. Once the physical is introduced, it often becomes the body of the relationship instead of putting the exclamation point on it. People rarely explore a relationship beyond the physical. You have fun with no depth. You have excitement with no meaning. This always erodes your own self image in either your own eyes or the eyes of others.

There comes a point when age and experience allows you to realize that sex is not the relationship. But if that is all you have, your mind and heart begins to drift and you begin to question your own self worth. Is it just your body that the other craves? What happens when you get sick, or old, or wrinkled? Will you be loved when you can't perform like you do now? Can the relationship survive outside of the sexual act?

No teenage boy will emerge from a nursing home and say to his friends, "I saw a lot of sexy old women today!" Yet, every one of his future sex partners will eventually look like that and so will he.

There is more to you, more to your relationships than sex. Sex in marriage is the period or exclamation mark on a relationship that has significantly more depth and understanding to it than the physical. Ironically, it actually makes the sexual act much more enjoyable and meaningful done this way.

IT WILL HAUNT YOU IN FUTURE RELATIONSHIPS

This I can practically guarantee. I don't have the time to recount the number of marriages that struggle because of some indiscretion before or outside of the marriage. If you had to deal with the problems I have, you'd feel the same way I do about this entire issue.

Regret, depression, anxiety, abortion, nightmares, suspicion, trust issues, child support, adultery, anger, bitterness, rape, health issues, troubled children, rebellious teenagers using the past against the parent, teenage pregnancies, divorce, cancer, Aids, pornography, addictions, birth defects, and many, many more are all issues that I can often trace back to sex before or outside of marriage.

I've dealt with all of the above things and more in counseling broken marriages. Almost always, I can trace the root of the issue to sex before or outside of the marriage.

I can't honestly think of a marriage that hasn't been haunted by sexual misconduct before the marriage. And there are many examples of this. A woman who was sexually molested or abused as a child will find it difficult to trust men in general and her husband in particular. That's not her fault, but it is something she will live with. A man that has had sex with many different women struggles to convince his wife that he loves her and only her and he constantly deals with his memories and even dreams. His protestations of love are often viewed as cheap and insufficient.

I could go on and on and on about the problems that are created because of sex before or outside of marriage. Lifelong relationships always suffer as a result.

FOR THE CHRISTIAN

Naturally, God discourages sex before marriage. I read once where someone argued that God never discouraged such a thing, but even a casual reading of the Scriptures will dissuade you from that notion.

Hebrews 13:4 - Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

1 Corinthians 7:1-2 - Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman (sexually). Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

Sex, in God's eyes, is more than a physical act. It is a spiritual experience meant to illustrate to us the joy of being in the presence of the Lord. Interestingly enough, fornication is often depicted as idolatry.

Deuteronomy 31:16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.

2 Chronicles 21:11 Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.

God sees sex as a demonstration of a commitment to one person. Anything else is seen as fornication, whoring, adultery, and other sexual perversions. By keeping our sexual activities limited to one person in the bonds of marriage, we reinforce our own Christian bond and union with Jesus Christ. Marriage itself is compared scripturally to salvation in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 5:21-33). Marriage is a microcosm, a means by which we understand God better, of the relationship we have between Jesus Christ.

Marriage is a wonderful picture of the security we have in Jesus Christ for salvation. Sex is a wonderful, spiritual, picture of the joy we have in Christ. It is holy, right, and honorable in marriage.

No matter if you are a Christian or not, there are plenty of dangers to experiencing sexual activity outside of the marriage. The dangers are real. They do exist. And they do cause more problems than you'd ever really believe.

Again, if you could sit in my seat and listen to the broken, struggling, and desperate lives that result from this, you'd see why I hold these opinions.

I hope you all enjoy it. Good evening.

[quote author=Conner44]

My dear, my own is not about self sacrifice or self pleasure. I simply MUST HAVE SEX with my fiance before we get married for 3 main reasons

- I need to know if she is capable of bearing kids for me OUT OF THE BOX (I don't want my marriage to be like nollywood film where me and wife run from church to babalawo for fruit of the womb)

I am a doctor. We have ways of finding out if you and your wife are fertile...without the need for sex. Just see a gyanecologist before or after your marriage.....youse do not need to test the merchandise.

'Sides....what if you get it on with the lady...and the thing no dey flow like you want am? Abi you go change your woman?

- I want to confirm if she is indeed a virgin (if she is claiming to be), I know I can go ahead and marry her but I hate to be scammed into doing it

Yeah...and you can know if a girl is a virgin on the wedding night......and even before by knowing that thing called 'character'.

- if I want to order a lovely suit from konga I will still search for the option of 'testing' to see if it will fit me properly first before paying for it. If not they better have a pretty iron clad warranty on their goods

I admit, my konga analogy may not be good. But women are persons, not clothes or furniture.

Premarital sex is wrong but let's face it. . . IT HAPPENS . . . Even numerously in the bible but God forgives the repentant heart.

Shall we sin that grace may abound...no.

As I have said....if you can't hold bodi before marriage, chances are that you won't be able to do so after marriage.
If you can't hold bodi before marriage...chances are that you are seeing your lady as a intimacy gadget, not as a person.....and when your 'toy' gets old after twenty years and four children.....that 's when the affair starts, leading to damaged families and damaged children.

You made a point but which cannot work for the majority. Then what happens if you decide to keep yourself till after marriage only to discover along the line that someone else is doing your babe behind your back how would you feel?

Hey, the mark of any good relationship is honesty. If you haven't handled the 'dark secrets' issue before you marry, then I am sorry for you.

And if you do not know your girl inside out before you marry, and vice versa.....you are ready to be housemates, not husband and wife.

If you knows your lady well before you head to the altar, you won't have that type of problem.

But, yes, some people do fall to temptation. That is where forgiveness through God's power and healing, as well as counselling and sorting out the issues that led to the affairs come in.

The only way i will accept that from any lady is if it's confirmed that she's a virgin and she agrees that if after the marriage and i go there only to discover that someone else has tampered with what suppose to give me joy then she will pack out of the house the next day. Apart from that,she's deceiving herself.

So what if you get rid of her virginity...and then you decide that she is not the one?

You have then tampered with another man's property.

Plus, it all boils down to my first point. Knowledge is power. If you knows the lady well well, you would know if she is promiscious, or if she has had other men. That should be enough tom keep you from danger.

Bros, one final thing......do you want a relationship, or do you want a woman manufactured to suit you? Seems to me you want the latter....

Conner44: You didn't have sex with your husband before you married him dosent mean you never did pre marital sex. So stop trying to portray yourself as a mary

Make I hear say I no fu*k my wife before marry am unto wetin? I dey craze ?

I want you to think with me.

You go to Konga.com to buy a new suit.

You pay online for your new suit.

But when you get the new suit, you discover it is second hand

Would you happily accept it?, or won't you go to town on Konga for messing you up?

It is the same with sex before marriage.

Yes, some of us keep off sex before marriage. Why? Because it keeps us prepared for the temptations that would come post marriage. Think of it as training for the 'war ' of marriage. When you get married, temptation will not end. That is why the no sex before marriage law is there.....to teach youhow to control yourself now...so that you do it in the face of temptations that will afflict your marriage.

Don't believe me? Well, the fact is that if you cannot hold bodi before marriage, how will you do it after marriage.

And what if the sexual encounter wuth your fiance does not go well.? Would you keep on trying with other women till you get it right? You might end up going through a lot of women

Marriage is about self sacrifice, not self pleasure.

Eyop: If you always attract men that want just sex,then you need deliverance because it's not normal.

Forgive me, but that is pure bunkum.

The problem is with the men, not with the woman.

As Jesus said....out of the abundance of the heart....

If a man's head is filled with images of sin, he will see a woman as a means to satisfy his sexual urge. He won't see her as the person God meant her to be.

Unfortunately, i our churches today, one does not see much teaching on how men can renew their mind.

Stop blaming the woman...your mind is at fault. Get it renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit.

RedBenson: Are you actually expecting me to be the manager of my daughter's pusssy?

Oh yes.....

Once, during my 4th year of med school, I was with my classmates in the wards. We were looking at a demonstration by the house officer, when a young woman came in in a wheel chair, clearly sick, with skin lesions all over the leg. While she exchanged pleasntries with the House officer, I looked at her folder....she was HIV positive.

You know, I have seen many babes like her.....and the sad thing is that many of them are fine babes. And all because popsy no manage the pikin's pussy well....

So to answer your question....yes, you are the manager of your daughter. Not as in 'sex '(before someone come accuse me of promoting incest o )...but of her virtue. You are her first role model of what a true man should be.....and that's important.

If you are a man wey dey shack woman like pammy , that is the kind of man your daughter will take up with. A man who only sees her as a sex relief machine, not as a person. A man who sees her as a toy, not as a person. A man who will use her, and dump her to be used by other men. A man who will leave your precious daughter sullied, messed up and in some instances, diseased.

And as someone who has had to treat victims of uncontrolled sexual lust...you knows what I mean......it is not a good end for your daughter.

Bros.....be the man your daughter will look up to. Not the man your daughter will despise.

RedBenson: Dont talk like a fo*l. What else does a bobo need from a girl if not fucck that pusssy of hers?

Good. I guess you would be really proud when a guy says that about your daughter....

I think you are delusional, if you don't want a guy to touch you, become a Nun & go live in the convent, stop trying to tie anyone down.

Hey. What's your idea of a good relationship? Is it A)One where the lady and I grow in wisdom and knowledge together, or B) One where I have some 'sexual healing' anytime I want.

If your idea of a relationship is about self pleasure...then what would you do when the lady is not the source of pleasure no more? Look for a fresh body?

There is a reason for the 'no sex before marriage' rule..it teaches us to be self controlled. And if you fit hold bodi now, you go hold am well when you are married.

I can't understand why Nigerian girls place so much value on their vag*nas like its the only thing they have.

Because when they get pregnant , or get infertile due to having multiple sex partners, EVERYONE blames them, not the guys.

Besides, as a doctor who has treated many AIDS cases, I heartily recommend the value of a abstinence till marriage life for both the gents and ladies....it is hard, but it is safe.

Why will a guy want to be with you, he might as well be with his mates, if you just need a cuddle bunny, get a pillow or doll.

Good. Then you should be happy in the future when you meet your daughter in the arms of her lover.....who she is not married to!

Again, a relationship is not about the guy's self satisfaction, it is about what you sacrifice for the girl.

Am sorry my man, but having a relationship is not for you...until you learn to respect God. And the lady.

pDude: So what's the big deal

@op how old are you? You sound immature.

Which relationship is sex not involved? You think when I first met my wife, i was thinking about how many good, health, beautiful children she can deliver?

I was thinking about how she would look when i hang her leg over my shoulder and ramming her deep. I was also thinking of how i will be smacking her butt and making it bounce when hitting it from behind

Today we don marry o

If you are looking for a guy that will not want sex or that will be preaching Bible to you just because he is a church guy, don't worry: one day an angel will miss road and jam nepa wire, and drop on your roof.

Just wait it will happen one day

I like your style, bros

But my question for you , sha is this....would you still like that woman's body thirty years from now, when it is overweight, tired, wrinkled and old womanish/menopausal?

You knows the answer....

Eros is not necessarily the fuel of a good relationship......patience and loving someone for whom she is, even when she looks physically
unappealing' is.

lari03: @ mad nigerian I appreciate your sane response

Thanks.

I will add that there are a lot of good relationship books out there...and that men ought to read more.

murtalaa: get yourself an Hausa man. Hausa people don't seek for nor expect sex from a lady they are serious about.

Yeah, because, the girl's popsy will go ballistic if the guy samples the merchandise before delivery! (As all proper dads with daughters should!)

Seriously, it is sad that we guys are not interested in relationships.....we just want bodi. We should be interested in being friends with a girl, not being 'sex partners'.

God helping us.

Godmother: I don't dress provocatively. As a matter of fact I can't stand exposing the body in a provocative manner. Is there something else that attracts such guys. I'm considering stepping out of my relationship of 3 weeks cos the guy is mounting serious pressure on me. And this is a guy I met in church, we attend the same church. If I'd met him in a club would have understood, not that I club sef.

Here are the issues raised(note...I am not an expert inthese things).

1.What made you go into a relationship with this guy. Was it his love for God, or the fact that he was mature/handsome/had his own car/property/ speaks well etc.

2.Obviously the guy is not ready for a relationship with you...or with any girl for that matter. If he is asking for sex now, chances are he has already tasted of the fruit before(And I say this as a man myself). If he cannot control his sexual urge now, chances are that if the two of you take it a step up, he will be having fun with ladies on the side...and if you marry, chances are there will be lots of other women in the marriage....and it will affect you and your kids heavily.

3.Further on point two, if all the guy can do is talk about sex, he is just interested in your body (Confession...we men find ladies bodies very interesting...it is why life dey sweet ). But, seriously now, if he is just interested in your body, then think, would he be interested in your body thirty years later? After three children?...You knows the answer.....

4.So who is the ideal man for you. Well,the ideal man is not tall, dark, handsome ,and driving an infiniti jeep! . A real man is someone who is interested in you as a person, interested in your sucess, interested in not doing things that would leave you feeling naked and ashamed, more interested in how you get close to God (not a 'pastor'....because you know, there are guys who quote bible from morning to night....and look at the ladies one kind! ...fortunately most pastors are the genuine article!), more interested in your dreams and needs.

Don't be ashamed to wait for that kind of man......

One more thing.....I am a fan of the late Bimbo Odukoya....and one thing she liked to say was...seek God first , and everything, including marriage will be added unto you. Now , I am not advising you to turn yourself into nun (Nuns are great people BTW )...but to focus on God. Andone other thing.....why don't you and your boyfriend, sit down .....in a safe place, not in an isolated place,, like his bedroom ...and talk about the relationship. If he is not ready to respect you and God....then break off the relationship. You will not die an old maid. God will surely bring you your husband. He may have even brought you this man to see how well you handle temptation...and so far you are doing fine. If you handle this temptation well.....you will handle it better when you are married (yes.....even married women face temptation.)

A good book to read......Every Woman's Battle by S. Arterburn(that man of yours could also read Every Man's battle by Arterburn and Yorkey). If you live in Abuja....it is available at LOOKAY CHRISTIAN BOOKSHOP, WUSE zone 3 , ABUJA(I don't work for them....I am just one of their satisfied customers! )

[size=8pt]UP ARSENAL.....ALL OUR RIVALS ARE BITING THE DUST TODAY........ARSENAL FOR LIFE![b][/[/b]

boban 007: This judgment has serious political undertone.not with all d weaponry found in Fawaz house dat is capable of causing serious civil war?.anyways,he was said to be a strong Hezbollah man.

Hezbollah is more than a terror group...it is also a political party, and a community service organisation in its native Lebanon.

Let me bring in an example.....the Deputy Prime Minister of the UK, Nick Clegg(atheist) and his wife (Spanish , Roman Catholic).

Before they got married, they had a long talk about the place of religion in their married life.....and they ended up deciding that the children would be brought up as Roman Catholics.(they now have four boys).

In other words.....they sorted out the most important issue in a 'inter-religion' (or inthis case, atheist plus religion) marriage...the children's upbringing!

hafees: I am sure this will generate another hate spitting debates- somebody have started with calling muslims terrorists or i cannot marry a muslim low IQ statements

I am a muslim Yoruba and i married an ibo girl, she is now a muslim (a very good muslim). Its simple: you marry the man you marry into the religion.

But in all, we are all from the same Adam n Eve, let stop venting with hatred.

In other words, you ironed out the 'what religion we would teach the children' bit.

Problems with inter-religious marriages start when the couple does not sort out what religion the kids would be brought up in.....

mysticdollar: Is it right for a muslim lady to marry a christian and still be praying and fasting to me is bad cos when u marry a christian u automatically become a christian so far you make love with your hubby right or wrong.

Please really need ur opinions

Well ,here is my opinion.

The answer is NO.....and for these reasons.

1.WHAT RELIGION WOULD WE TEACH THE CHILDREN?

2.EASILY SUSPICIOUS INLAWS

3.CULTURAL ISSUES.

I would add by qualifying my 'no' a bit.....yes you can marry, but after you have thoroughly ironed out the above three issues....especially issue 1.

[quote author=GH^KWAME]Choi! I will hit hard at anyone who says Cameroon/Cameroun is not a West African country.[/quote]Interesting story behind Cameroon not being a West African country.

In the 1970's, Cameroon was on the verge of joining ECOWAS.....but due to some disagreement about water rights with Nigeria....something to do about the River Cross.....the deal fell through...and Cameroon joined the Equatorial African subgrouping...hence Cmeroon being regarded as a Equatorial African country not a West African country.

Cameroon was also once part of the Equatorial African Federation.....a group of French colonies consisting of Chad, CAR, and Gabon, as well as Congo Brazzaville.

Algeria throwing everything at the Burkinabes...but no cigar....Still finely poised.

I feel badfor Egypt.

In 2006, they would have qualified if it wasn't for flubbing their first three matches in qualifying....

In 2010, they shot themselves in the leg.

Once again for 2014..they mess up again

Poor Egypt.

haibe: Portugal's place won't allow them

No, Portugal will qualify if they beat Sweden, Croatia if they beat Iceland, Greece if they beat Romania, etc.

haibe: Oga Alaba plays for austria jare...

Croatia don jah already, them no go world cup

Croatia may qualify if they beat Iceland tonite.....

Johnnoo: Animal Balotelli

SUPAHHHHH MARRRIOOOOOOOO!

busayobrig: India, Brazil , germany, spain.

India did not qualify ........

And India's last international tournament was the Olympic football tourney......in 1956

haibe: Argentina and Belgium won't harm us, may be Germany

Ya think.

Belgium of today is not Belgium of eleven years ago.....now they have guys like Kompany, Vermalen, Benteke, Lukaku, Hazard, De Bruyne, et al.

Argentina....have we ever beaten Argentina at a World Cup(not that useless friendly).
