Hello People,

Since last week my MTN blackberry has been crazy, it is sometimes slow and other times the network just dissapears.
This is Monday and the issue is still there. Cant we make MTN refund the extra days lost? 

Is it just me or is MTN cutting my credit

Christmas is here again. We know they will be all over checking and smelling for tokunbo cars. I feel for those that will travelling by road. After dealling with the bad roads they will meet illegal check points on practically every other pole!!!

It is now normal that AIT must have one Foriegn Soap running every TV season. I have actually tried to watch a couple of them and to me some of them were boring and a total waste of time. Makes me remember Checkmate, Riples, New Mascurade, Mirrow in the Sun etc. These were classics and i know Nigerians will love to see them again. Please when we show our own soaps we will create room for improvement.

Thanks but the number doesnt show, it comes as "NEWS".

This is from Skysports this evening.

Wayne Rooney is set to miss the start of the season after picking up a virus in Nigeria.

Manchester United toured Africa last month and won the Vodacom Challenge before taking on Portsmouth in a friendly.

It has now emerged that Rooney is suffering from a virus and will not be fit to line up for United in the Community Shield against Portsmouth on Sunday.

The England man is also likely to sit out the Premier League opener against Newcastle the following week.

The news will come as a major blow to United, who will also begin the defence of their title without injured winger Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo underwent ankle surgery earlier this summer and is not expected to return to action until October.

Nani and Anderson will also be unavailable for the clash with the Magpies and Sir Alex Ferguson is concerned about his lack of options.

"I'm starting to worry about whether we are going to have a team ready for the start of the season, because Nani is suspended, Anderson is at the Olympics and I doubt if we will get Rooney fit after the virus he has had," Ferguson told Sky Sports News.

"He picked it up in Nigeria and it's not a nice one. It's 12 days to the season starts and he's not been able to train."

Sorry people, i have to state this here.

I have been recieving a text message from this GBEGELE people since sunday it is really annoying me now. Is anybody getting it as well? How did they get my number and how do i tell them to remove my number from their list.

It is so annoying that i am about to decide not to patronise whatever it is they are coming out with.

Please help if you know their site, phone number etc.

Thanks.

People, we have all said alot. But i can still remember when DSTV started, they didnt start with upto 10 channels, Till tomorrow DSTV repeats programs.

Talking about showing our local league, when did DSTV start it? how long have they been in this country and apart from sending crazy money back to South Africa what have they done for sports and youths in this country.

Seun seems to be the champion going on and on about his disatisfaction. I implore you to give Hitv thesame patience Dstv has enjoyed for years. Dstv is where they are today because the policies in this country allowed them to frustrate other indegenous cable companies and Nigerians gave them everything from patronage to patience.

Why cant we do thesame here?

I believe so much that Hitv will soon get it right.

Please lets not kill our own.

I think the products are very good myself. I use a number of the supplements and they are cool. Why are you asking? anything new?

A company in Lagos is in need of a Solaris Administrator urgently, this is on a project, it is not a permanent job. And the Pay is good but you have to prove yourself first.

Please get back to me on uchealigbe05@yahoo.com.

Please attach your CV that contains previous projects and reference.

Thanks.

I just heard one of Tinubu's campaign jingles saying that there are no more bad roads in Lagos, that there are no more dirts in Lagos etc. I really felt angry that such could be on our radio. Unfortunately, i passed Festac to CMS via Orile and i couldn't see anything that could have inspired such a jingle.

Plea:

1. Please someone that has a digital camera should help Nigeria to take pictures of some horrible sights in Lagos and upload.

2. Let us use this forum to expose false claims.

We can actually make a difference.

Thanks.

I am actually disappointed that you guys can laugh about this. You are talking about these players like they are not humans. Forget the fact that we are all fans to diferent clubs, i think a great keeper was almost killed in a game we all love so much.

It is not funny guys!!!

I wish them well.

Yes Sir, That is my point. Atleast someone is fighting this evil called Curruption. OBJ could have done thesame thing every other President did, steal and move on or stay on.

Even if at the end he is affected, to me he will be even braver because he had the will to fight something he did.

Omofineboy: Their lack of good ogarnisation is my concern. There is no law that stipulates the days to hold rallies but the impact on the people should be taken very seriously. People had important meetings, engagements etc. I tell you they lost some votes on that day.

Partisan? Hell No!!!

I was disapointed at the organisation of the rally yesterday on Lagos Island. It is a shame that people who are trying to be voted into offices by the public could cause so much pain on the thesame public. I have some questions:

1. Could'nt they do the rally on a weekend?

2. Does it mean that the organisers didnt think of the environmental impact of such an activity on a working day?

3. How will they rule, if they couldnt consider such little details in their own rally?

The rally was marred by thugs, fighting and looting. Alot of inncoent citizens lost Handsets, Bags etc.

Alot even had to work from Victoria Island to the mainland.

There are rumours that some people died in a fight.

Action Congress, you have in your own way, shown the public how much you care about their welfare.

We have heard it all before, you guys blow hot and cold. So it wont be a suprise if you guys are trashed in your next game.

Olabowale, when you wrote "Yet you come from Nigeria" what did you actually mean? Is it that he shouldnt talk ill of Muslims because he is a Nigerian or that Muslims are more in Nigeria or and I hope not, are you calling Nigeria a Muslim country

Can you remember during the Danish Cartoon issue, the whole Muslim world demonstrated but no death records untill it got Nigeria, then we had some death count up North.

It really doesnt make sense, but it happens.

There has to be someone who can explain to us, how they really feel when Islam is discussed. For example, Christianity has been under fire from the Movie industry, Writers etc and not even a single person was killed.

These attacks didnt change the way Christians see their God, But it took just days after the Comment from the Pope, a nun was shut in Italy and Churches are being attacked in the West Bank.

We pray this doesnt get to Nigeria cos we have a way of escalating things here.

Is a request for the Pope to make an apology necessary? The old man recited an old quote. As if that was not enough, he apologised and now some other people are saying that he should make another.

What do you think this kind of reaction tell people about Islam

That was a wonderful goal from my Top Man "Drogba" ,
He is just too strong for defenders. I love Chelsea.

Have a Wonderful Week People!!!

Do you think this issue was well settled? Should'nt someone take Multichoice to Court for Bundling Nigeria into a licence they purchased for profit? And how come STV and AIT didnt show this years UEFA Champ Lge?

Congratulations!!! on our Uefa opener yesterday.

True Blue!!![color=#000099][/color]

He is unique and considering how good he is as a coach, i think he can say all he wants. You actually have a choice not to listen. Chelsea, as for me is the best club in the world today.
