RomanceThinking Aloud (a Nagging Ex Gf) by moonraker(op): 4:39am On Nov 28, 2011
Ever been in a relationship where no matter how you try, its never enough for your

partner?? where you are always the cause of everything that happens to her or him

in or out of the relationship and you have to apologize even if you werent at fault??

A situation where fights are on the regular?? a situation where if you dont do what

your partner says, you become the enemy??

A situation where if you commit a tiny crime, you will be given the harsh treatment

but if your partner does same thing, you are not allowed to give corrections because your

partner doesnt like to be corrected??

And lastly, your partner cheated on you but you still forgave her or him because of a

certain term called LOVE??

Well i have been through all that. A LDR to be precise with a Nigerian girl. Turned out

to be one of the worst 2years of my life. But not anymore. Took me a while to get on

feet but i did anyways.

MORAL of this Episode is do not displease yourself to please your partner. If you are not

happy in a relationship, you need to get out fast lest you get hurt badly and lastly,

do not idolize your partner. THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS LIKE YOU


God bless everyone on the romance section.

TravelRe: Arik Air Delays Lagos Bound Passengers For 6 Hours At Heathrow Airport by moonraker(m): 11:53pm On Nov 22, 2011
Too Bad

Omo_Tier1:
^^ the truth is Arik knows they aren't getting it right with customer service, but again they have serious limitation in their operations. As for the issue you raised about the Ash closure, that really was more of Heathrow operational issue than it is Arik's. BA was able to evacute more rapidly due to 'cos of their higher frequency/landing slot at Heathrow compared to Arik.

Personally, I think what Arik and a few other airlines that have shown operational competence need is some funding assistance from the FG using the Bank of Industry. I mean think of it if Arik, Aero, Air Nigeria are able to operate 1000flights combined daily from Nigeria, do you know how much money will come into government bag at the end of the year?

Look at how France and the Dutch government helped the like of Air france and KLM expand and remain standing on their feet. Our government can take a cue. There is no issue here of anti-competition like they have in Europe.
Erm i dont think you truly understand what Chaircover is trying to say!!!

Look, in the airline business, there are alot of things that can make an airline

successful and they are some things that can put an airline down. poo happens

but how you handle that poo is what brings the customers back.

Usually when i go to Nigeria, i just use emirates but there was this one time i decided

to try qatar becos to me, their transit time was fantastic. My flight from Osaka to doha left 3hrs

behind schedule but during the delay, we were offered snacks and drinks at the waiting area.

I did miss my connection in doha but qatar airways connected me on an emirates flight to dubai and then

to lagos that same day,  Pls give me one good reason why i wouldnt want to go back to that airline?? huh??

Nigerians should stop praising silly services. We deserve better!!! I have never used Arik air before and seeing

all these going has really put me off. I wouldnt want to choke myself all in the name of been patriotic and poo.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Manchester City Vs Newcastle @ 3:54pm (nigerian Time) by moonraker(op): 10:38am On Nov 18, 2011
The Premier League’s two unbeaten teams meet at the Etihad Stadium with Newcastle desperate to maintain their positive start to the season against table topping Manchester City.

A summer of spending has paid off for manager Roberto Mancini with his multi-million pound squad soaring to the top of the table where they’ve established a five point lead over rivals United. 10 wins from 11 games and 39 goals have made City early favourites for the title and they’ll be supremely confident of extending their lead against Newcastle on Saturday. They were pushed to the wire against QPR before the international break and needed the divine intervention of Yaya Toure to secure a 3-2 win at Loftus Road. The loss of Vincent Kompany to suspension destabilised the back four and debutant Stefan Savic looked way out of his depth alongside Joleon Lescott at the heart of City’s defence. The 20-year-old’s shaky display could prompt Mancini into giving Kolo Toure his first start in just under a year after his six month ban for failing a drugs test. Mancini has a big decision to make over his team selection with several of his stars away on international duty and he could choose to tinker with his side to ensure victory over a Newcastle side that boasts the meanest defence in the league. The form of Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko has given him a dilemma as to which player starts up front whilst Sergio Aguero is expected to return from a groin injury giving the Italian another headache. Despite the selection quandaries Mancini’s men enjoy playing against the Magpies having avoided defeat against them in their last nine meetings.

This is a different Newcastle United to the one they beat twice last season with Alan Pardew transforming the side into a stubborn and uncompromising machine. They’re unbeaten in 14 games stretching back to last season and have remained undefeated in their opening 11 games for the first time since 1994/95. A summer of discontent has been followed by what feels like an indian summer on Tyneside with the team performing above expectations sending a feel good factor flowing around the city. However that was brought to a stuttering halt after owner Mike Ashley decided to rename St James’ Park last week with the famous ground now going by the name of the Sports Direct Arena. It’s an issue die hard Geordie haven’t taken well too and there are fears that the clash between board room and supporters could once again undermine the players efforts on the pitch. Heading to the home of the league leaders will require every ounce of black and white support as they aim to come away victorious from the Etihad Stadium for the first time since September 2000 – a run of eight games. Pardew goes into the game with doubts over the fitness of key players Yohan Cabaye, Cheick Tiote and Leon Best who all picked up injuries against Everton before the international break. It will certainly be a huge test with Magpies keeper Tim Krul and back four ever presents Danny Simpson, Fabricio Coloccini, Steven Taylor and Ryan Taylor facing up to the leagues highest scorers.

Manchester City – 1st

Last Five

Won 3-2 v QPR (A), Won 3-0 v Villarreal (A), Won, 3-1 v Wolves (H), Won 5-2 v Wolves (A), Won 6-1 v Manchester United (A)

Potential Starting X11

25. J. Hart 2. M. Richards 15. S. Savic 6. J. Lescott 13. A. Kolarov 34. N. De Jong 18. G. Barry[C] 21. D. Silva* 7. J. Milner 16. S. Aguero 45. M. Balotelli

Injury News

Mancini can expect to have Aguero back from a groin injury but it’s looking likely that midfielder Samir Nasri will miss out after picking up a knee injury.

Key Player

David Silva - What a storming start to the season Silva has had in his second campaign in the blue half of Manchester. His graceful gliding around the field, feather light touch and mind boggling arsenal of flicks and tricks have encapsulated the Premier League this season. His clever use of the ball and defence splitting passes will be vital to unlocking a stern Newcastle rearguard.

Match Fact

City have tasted defeat only four times at the hands of Newcastle in the Premier League since 2002/03 winning seven times in their last 16 meetings.

Newcastle – 3rd

Last Five

Won Everton 2-1 (H), Won 3-1 Stoke (A), Lost 4-3 v Blackburn (A), Won 1-0 v Wiga (H), Drew 2-2 v Tottenham (H)

Potential Starting X11

26. T. Krul 5. D. Simpson 2. F. Coloccini [C]* 27. S. Taylor 16. R. Taylor 8. D. Guthrie 4. Yohan Cabaye 24. C. Tiote 18. J. Gutierrez 19. D. Ba 20. L. Best

Injury News

Key midfielder Yohan Cabaye could could return after going off mid-way through the first half against Everton whilst there are also concerns over the fitness of Leon Best and Cheick Tiote. Gabriel Obertan has an outside chance but Sylvain Marveaux will definite miss out

Key Player

Fabricio Coloccini - Not everyone’s first choice for the captaincy when Pardew handed him the armband but the Argentine has shone in what has been Newcastle’s best start to a season in 17 years. Coloccini has been a rock alongside Steven Taylor and his organisational skills and reading of the game will be key to halting a rampant City attack and keeping their tag as the league’s meanest defence.

Match Fact

Newcastle have been superb on the road this season winning three and drawing two of their away games this season but they haven’t fared well in the blue half of Manchester. The Magpies have failed to win on their last eight visits to the blue half of Manchester but will go into this game optimistic of avoiding defeat.

Last Time at the Etihad Stadium

Premier League 3rd October 2010

Manchester City 2-1 Newcastle

Tevez, 18 (pen)

Johnson, 75

Gutierrez, 24

Attendance: 46,067

Referee: Martin Atkinson

PREDICTION

City are unrepentant at the moment and the sheer size of their squad means Mancini will be able to call upon a number of fresh faces to face the Magpies who are struggling with injuries to key players. With the likes of Silva and Aguero in the ranks it’s unlikely Newcastle will be able to resist the home sides undoubted attacking class. Without Cabaye in the midfield Pardew’s side will be shorn of creativity which is something that Danny Guthrie will tasked with providing. However with Gareth Barry and Nigel De Jong providing protection to the defence this could be a lost cause for the Geordies. There is no doubting they’ll give it a right old go though!

Score: 2-1

Tip on winning games on FIFA 12 PC

You need to configure your keyboad keys to match

what fifa 11 configs. Just copy ur my document fifa 11 folder

into my document fifa 12 folder and ur set on that bases.


Secondly, you need to tweak your defaults teams tactics by going into

team management and then tactics i think. Defending is still very very

poor but at least you get to bang in goals which were alit bit difficult for me

at first. My default team is Man city set at professional and i bang in 7 goals max.

Dezko, Aguero, Milner, And Nasri are on Fire,

soft-touch:
Can anyone help confirm this , maybe it is an old news, That Apple normally unlock all locked phone after 2 years from the day of first activation from the MOBILE OPERATOR.

Apple expect the contracts on ALL locked iphones to end in 2years from the day of first activation.

I have been wondering while my 3Gs that was locked to an Operator in UK, suddenly got permanent unlock few months back, then I came about the article online.
But I will like someone to confirm it too.

Phones on this category can be recognized with Apple logo at the top corner when activated by itune as shown in the attached image.
The above statement is not entirely true. Only countries that have an agreements with apple or laws that prohibit phone manufacturers from locking down their system have access to such. Countries like france, UK, canada, beligium and some others can be unlocked as early as 6months into a phone contract. Other countries like the US, Japan etc dont have access to such facilities.

What do they really need or want??  I really dont know. You can be the nicest guy, buy her stuff

do everything to make her happy but it still wouldnt be enough, smh

Next time, buy business laptops like HP probook  or elitebook. They are designed to stand the test of time and anything you throw at them.
