coogar: let's be honest - cavani or falcao won't pin a permanent shirt at city.
with owen and berbatov moving, they have spaces awaiting them at united than city.

coogar: united's loss last night was 50-50 for me. i had a wry smile cos this would get
fergie to work harder instead of his "if it's not broke, don't fix it" mantra.
that midfield has been crying for help since 2009 at least. scholes/giggs shouldn't
be playing in the midfield - they are too old.

Dis Guy: Any particular reason why NCC is doing its own registration?


seems they are just looking for more excuse to delay the number portability exercise, 12 months, 6months, till 2018
thye will start the whole process again just like the Identification card saga

StarBoard: Hmm not sure how to respond to the above.
But FErgie's line-up that day and his were atrocious.His subs were even worse.


Gonzalo can thrive at United if our wingers and midfield do the job,though I'm not his biggest fan. He tends to go missing in games you need him most.

ritchboy: "He only knows how to cheat"

StarBoard: If we had done things a bit differently. . .

Not so sure. . .but they won. . .

ikooko: 6m is a lot of money even to dangote because every kobo counts to a businessman. to be sincere to yourself, which bank in this country will borrow a jobless man 6m. pls stop creating fake impression.
Do you even think u can pick 6 million stones from the street in the next one month not to talk of money except you have access to government funds.

AjanleKoko: It's been a long time since we had this argument.
And my views haven't really changed much. A lot of the so-called 'Diaspora Experience' is over-hyped and oversold. Most people returning to Nigeria from the Diaspora don't have much value to add. A few do, but most do not. Apart from the fact that they went to school abroad, in many cases for postgraduate after their mediocre degree in Nigeria. And they've suddenly become superstars after a years sojourn in 'abroad'.

You hardly see any surgeon, medical specialist, financial accountant, practicing attorney, engineer(that is gainfully employed as one!), scientist, etc, coming back to Nigeria. If any of these people come back, they go straight to the top of the food pile. And you don't really hear noise from them; usually they are in a particular niche, making big bucks, in the same Corporate Nigeria. It's only the MBA generalists and the 'finance' wannabees that come back and struggle for jobs with the locals. FACT.

My advice to any returnee would be that they treat the locals with respect, and not try on that Sambo-Mlambo uppity-negro nonsense. What riles me is the contempt with which Corporate Nigeria is treated, like it was some sort of Battle-of-Musanga mish-mash of confusion. Nothing could be further from the truth. Unilever for example, recruits the best graduates from Nigerian universities, trains them in a specialized program for three years, puts them on rotation across the continent and the globe even, exposing them to varied practices. Yet some are still quick to dismiss 'Corporate Nigeria'.

There's essentially little difference between Corporate Nigeria and the Corporate West. All you need to do is come in, show everyone what you can do, how your knowledge, experience, and exposure can be made to the challenges of our business environment. If you approach it like that, sky is just the beginning for you. Else, stay where you are. It's not enough to stay afar and turn your nose up at what people are doing here. If an Englishman who has been CEO of major telcos in five continents can come and work in Nigeria, rolling up his sleeves to full effect, then who might you be?

ikooko: I agree but not someone who is out of job with idle 6m

BlueDiva: The man is trying to plan.
If he was sacked and didn't save a penny you will still come here to complain.

A man who managed to save 6m isn't silly.
Just give him time and encouragement.

Kc3000: Bro, to me, he came off looking like a very insecure person. He could have simply asked her why she thought otherwise or like u said, ignored it. . .instead of feeling insulted. Watch this kind of shows, and there's usually a little back and forth between the host and judges. . .just to spice things up. Then he starts whining about it more, after the show, when he could have just played it down.

GoldCircle: Very deep and matured! similar to his second album "Grass 2 Grace"! With time I know it's gonna hit, but will be more appreciated by the international audience.

naijaking1: Yeah, morbidly obese, that's how you like'em.
I could see you drooling just by watching her on TV, be honest--bo.

naijaking1: What for, I know you like them big, very big in size!

jajajaja828: ote dont even kw her left fm her right.even ndi if ndi is a dunce, she can never spent such amount on wrist watch. so, the govt should arrest ote to explain more. ote na international thief and fat fool.

Jarus: The insanity story was a rumour. He never lost his sense. He only became very religious in his last few years and became detached detached from worldliness,voluntarily gave out properties in charity, joined the ordinary men on the street mosques for prayers etc. Never lost his sense, those were what people, who expected him to be living high society life as an ex-international, saw and interpreted as insanity. He only became overly religious and detached from worldly fancies.

He was clearly not rich, but appeared contented. I know his two-storey building in our hometown, Offa. I guess that's where he will be buried tomorrow.

AjanleKoko: ^^
He scored the only goal for Malaga against us, in both fixtures. He can't be that bad.

In any case I agree with your earlier submission. Scoring goals is not our problem. Keeping things tight at the back, and defending set pieces/counter-attacks, those are our failings. And they are more of coaching adjustments. I hope Tito is looking at those. "we played true to our style" won't be tenable next season.

honeric01: Yes bro, we need a PERMANENT 9 for PLAN B, villa and alexi can always play from the wings, but Llorente can't, so when we are having issues with plan A, we can throw in Llorente for plan B.

AjanleKoko: A big striker just scored against us now, for Malaga. Rondon. I'd buy him over Llorente.
Also Guilherme Siquera who scored that cheeky penalty against us, for Granada. I like them, they have flair.
