I still don't understand what happened.

Tag team match?

March?

One of the reasons why the MK was formed.

100% in support of either CFCfan or Berem.

ChickRockz: I saw a post on Yahoo News this morning..USA Football fans didn't think they could stand a chance against any of those teams..remember Ghana came fourth in the last world cup so they are a strong team

Uruguay came fourth at the last World Cup. Germany beat them 3-2 in the 3rd/4th place match.

This is the reason why the BBC does not use the term terrorist. The BBC was criticised for refusing to describe the people that stormed the Westgate Mall in Kenya as terrorists. They called them "militants". It has long been the broadcaster's policy not to refer to anyone as a terrorist, because one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

The term "Soudan" does not necessarily refer to the country now known as Sudan, the same way the term "Guinea" does not necessarily refer to the country we now call Guinea.

Soudan, as used here, refers to "the land of the blacks, south of the Sahara", the same way that "Guinea" refers to "the land of the blacks in Western Africa".

This is the World Cup. You can't rule out any country.


All the Nigerian papers were filled with stories about Stoichkov, Kostadinov, Canniggia, Maradona and Redondo before USA 94. People thought that we only stood a chance against Greece, but we ended up winning the group.

Who would have thought that Senegal would beat France at the World Cup in 2002? Who would have thought that Cameroon would beat Argentina in 1990?

Don't rule out any country.

deols: You said Boko haram is in Borno. I mean that the Borno mentioned in the letter may not be restricted to Borno state. It could have been larger.

That's Kanem Borno.

50calibre: Why is Nigeria always drawn in with Argentina, is this some kind of spell?

2002

2010

2014

You forgot 1994.

Wow! the Black Stars thread has been removed!

I don't think Ghana has a chance against Germany, but I do think that they can beat Portugal. It's not impossible.

Finally, Ivory Coast get a good group. I hope they'll make good use of the opportunity.

We have a great group, but we must not be complacent (I don't think Keshi will allow them to be complacent).

Italy vs England . . .I'm salivating.

I'm so happy! Perfect groups!

Sir Geoff Hurst (England 66)

Alcides Ghiggia (Brazil 1950)

Mario Kempes (Argentina 78)

Fabio Cannavaro (Germany 2006)

Lothar Mathaus (Italia 90)

[size=14pt]Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of The Nation).[/size]

Umkhonto we Sizwe was the armed wing of the ANC. It was created in 1961. The South African and United States governments classified it as a terrorist organisation and it was banned.

Nelson Mandela had this to say about the MK:

"At the beginning of June 1961, after a long and anxious assessment of the South African situation, I, and some colleagues, came to the conclusion that as violence in this country was inevitable, it would be unrealistic and wrong for African leaders to continue preaching peace and non-violence at a time when the government met our peaceful demands with force.

This conclusion was not easily arrived at. It was only when all else had failed, when all channels of peaceful protest had been barred to us, that the decision was made to embark on violent forms of political struggle, and to form Umkhonto we Sizwe. We did so not because we desired such a course, but solely because the government had left us with no other choice. In the Manifesto of Umkhonto published on 16 December 1961, which is exhibit AD, we said:

'The time comes in the life of any nation when there remain only two choices – submit or fight. That time has now come to South Africa. We shall not submit and we have no choice but to hit back by all means in our power in defence of our people, our future, and our freedom.'

Firstly, we believed that as a result of Government policy, violence by the African people had become inevitable, and that unless responsible leadership was given to canalise and control the feelings of our people, there would be outbreaks of terrorism which would produce an intensity of bitterness and hostility between the various races of this country which is not produced even by war. Secondly, we felt that without violence there would be no way open to the African people to succeed in their struggle against the principle of white supremacy. All lawful modes of expressing opposition to this principle had been closed by legislation, and we were placed in a position in which we had either to accept a permanent state of inferiority, or take over the Government. We chose to defy the law. We first broke the law in a way which avoided any recourse to violence; when this form was legislated against, and then the Government resorted to a show of force to crush opposition to its policies, only then did we decide to answer with violence."

[quote author=wogor@paradise]I dnt understand these jugbe, is lastma regultion not clear on wut their job discription shuld be? N wut they can n cant do? In as much as the lastma guys ar over doing these thing, lastma laws needs to be checked n motorist need to aquint themselve wit them so they stand up for their rights wen arested.[/quote]I'll try and break it down.

Lastma can arrest you and charge you to court.
Lastma cannot arrest you and force you to pay a fine or confiscate your vehicle (only a competent court can impose a fine or confiscate your vehicle).

Now, here's the grey area that has caused the problem.

You have two options when Lastma arrests you. You can decide to go to court and settle the matter in court, or you can decide to settle out of court (fine). Lastma has no power to force you to pay a fine (settle out of court), but that's what they do. Many people do not know that they have the right to go to court if they feel that they have not committed any offence. Hence, they are bullied by lastma officials to pay a fine, even though they feel that they have not committed any offence.

naptu2: The criminal justice system is structured in this manner.

Investigators/prosecutors: Law enforcement officers (eg lastma and the police) investigate and arrest offenders. The DPP's office (and sometimes law enforcement officers) prosecute the cases. Basically, they are accusing you of committing a crime.

Judiciary: The judge is meant to adjudicate over the matter and determine if you are guilty or not and if the state is at fault. The judge should be impartial.

Judiciary/jury: They determine guilt and sentence offenders.


Now, how can one agency accuse you of a crime, decide that you are guilty and sentence you to pay a fine (or impound your car)? Will they be impartial and fair?
