Good News.

Islam Feruz has agreed to join Chelsea.
Exactly what I have been hoping for.

@Ibime,

I am watching the game again. 35mins in and I cannot spot Ramires running away from the ball. On the contrary, he has been running into space to receive it. And that's coming from me - a Ramires hater.

I be our mate for this FPL?

You are high on spoilt yam flour.
How does your ISP even allow post such garbage? Alakori. . . 
Watch your back mate. Ayam taking ofer.

From 49th to 5th in 2 weeks. . . . I am absolutely flying. Ready to topple Dayo.

I will pass my judgement on Torres when I see him play with Mata and Danny.

Scare at the end. Poorest last 20mins. Very indicative that the supposed depth we have is garbage. Mata and Danny get injured and we are back to Chelsea of last season.

It's all gone flat now. It's amazing what difference Mata, Danny and Anelka can make. The positioning, off-the-ball runs, build-up play and passing is just plain awful.

Romeu in, Anelka out. Debut for Romeu.

Mata off, Torres on. Hope he gets a goal.

Sergio Aguero hat-trick. Exactly who we should have bought instead of Torres.

Mata taking all set-pieces now. That makes a lot of sense.

We are strong in defence, more mobile in attack but the midfield has gone to sleep in the second half. Lamps is strolling now.

Malouda on. . . Danny off. Danny justifies inclusion once more.

Danny Sturridge. What a goal!

2nd half. It will be nice to get a 2nd goal quickly.

Lamps has not been useless. He's been slow but he's been doing great.
I am very impressed with Mata and Meireles. Ramires has been making runs as well. (can't believe I am praising Ramires).

I keep forgetting Anelka upfront is one fabulous option.

Wes Brown has been instrumental for Sunderland in defence.

Danny needs the mind set of a poacher. He should be attacking that ball.
Mata popping up everywhere big enough for a body.

Meireles keeping things really simple. . . just making it all tick.

[size=14pt]FG to establish space centre at UNIUYO [/size]
Friday, 09 September 2011

“We took a team of engineers to Russia and launched the two satellites. As a result of the feat of President Goodluck Jonathan within his first 100 days, Nigeria is able to rub shoulders with United States of America,” the minister pointed out.

When the people who should be in charge of technological developments in the country come up with statements like this, it means not only do they not have a clue about how much we lag behind the world of technology, they don't even know how far the world has gone.

And these are the same "intelligent" people GEJ has surrounded himself with.

dyabman:
The bold-ed are well accepted---  but i prefer ramirez anytime anyday, and he is no-sh.it when he receives the ball plsss,

sorry i changed your line-up.

You need to watch Ramires well then.
His first touch, off-the-ball runs and all round tactical play.
He reminds me of Lennon. All pace, no sense.

ritchboy:
Mata in CM? Nateevs don come again

Hehehe. So he's never played CM.
People like you who haven't watched football that often should siddon look.
STFU ninjah!

Hey How did we abandon this thread. .? Come on guys don't go to sleep.
Let's get back.

Why can't Visafone lease bandwidth off MTN? Clearly on Phase 3's Telecomms website you can see their partners as being other telcomms companies. You don't have to be a National carrier to do that. You have a service and you are collecting money in exchange.

I know that laying infrastructure is not easy,  that's my point exactly. Why put all eggs in one basket with glo? if glo can bring in $2 billion in 4 years for telecoms, why not 2 companies bringing in twice that much investing in twice the infrastructure achieving fasting penetration rates. For eg if only Glo were in the scene we would have been stuck with what they have done, but MTN is also laying cables  and once the competition starts we will be better for it.

It is not much of "no monopoly" that is crucial but effective legislation. Even after 3 submarine cables have been laid and commissioned, prices of MBs of bandwidth still remain at a colossal high. Main one is selling bandwidth at prices unheard of. . . but there is competition. MTN last declared pre-tax profits of N.0875 trillion in-spite of competition. Yet they sell 512kbps ADSL connection at N65,000 a month. . . but there's no monopoly in that sector. What we need is the NCC to bite.

NITEL infrastructure is in shambles. The cabinets you are talking about use obsolete technology. the investments needed to bring NITEL on track is huge. I think that Glo should concentrate and consolidate on the modest achievements achieved so far and let  investors with deep pockets and well established system to run NITEL.

Monopoly is a big NO NO thats why the US is watching the mooted merger of T -mobile and At&T carefully. If it were to save operational cost and pass it to consumers, the American watchdog thinks that the consumers interest will be better served by competition and not mergers. I couldnt agree more

It is easy to argue that Nitel's infrastructure is in shambles but you find that most of Nitel's copper cables hanging off poles in our neighbourhoods are the same grade copper cables used extensively by British Telecomms to deploy last mile connectivity. Not everything is not recyclable. You will be surprised at how much stuff is very useful. There is no economic imperative for any ISP to upgrade equipment in rural areas to state of the art. In the urban areas and cities, equipment will be given a facelift. Only those who want FTTN or FTTP will not be looped on the Nitel network. Most of us will be glad if we can get 1Mbps to 3Mbps constantly which the current Nitel cables will adequately support.



Like I said, it's a win win for everyone.

glo has been struggling with her rollouts, even in Ghana. A monopoly fixes prices. if glo fixes prices for her carrier infrastructure how will that help in bringing down prices, when smaller operator need cheap links to serve rural areas?! Can Visafone rent MTN fiber? No cause MTN is not a carrier. If we have glo and NITEL working then the desire to attract smaller carriers to use their facilities, that will bring a price war that will ultimately benefit subcribers and make roll outs in underserved areas cheaper and attractive for investment.

Not as much of a struggle as you paint it. It's more of a policy struggle than any infrastructural hiccup. Someone posted this link earlier, you didn't bother to check.

Like I told you, the National Carrier license can be obtained by any other company if they choose. There is nothing to suggest that these bidding companies can turn Nitel around. It's an administrative and financial mountain to climb bringing Nitel back to it's functional best. The best option is to sell to a company who have already installed more than 60% of the physical infrastructure needed to operate as a National Carrier.

Plus most companies don't even need to be a National carrier to beat the monopoly. This are a ton of companies already build nation-wide and metropolitan networks all over the country - MTN, Suburban Networks, Phase3 Telecomms to name a few. Infact this is a a capture of a live update of Phase3 Telecom's Fibre Optic Network.

When I buy Luton FC, I will think about employing you.

Which money you wan take buy am? The one wey Hugh Hefner dey pay you?

werepeLeri:
The OP is another lier who compares the UK with Nigeria with falsehood and bunch of lies and the myopic people take what he writes as the truth.

The dongle that you load with £10 credit in the UK - how long does it last you for? One month or one year? I load the same credit in the same UK and I finish it in one day - what r u talking about? Abeg - try to do your research properly before coming here to yearn half truths. How much do u pay for full internet if you are a contract user? Tell us and then we can compare rates.

Ok. I will help. I have a 6MB/1MB (download/upload speeds) ADSL connection to the internet. Unlimited calls to all UK land-line numbers (020s, 01s, 02s, 03s) and 5 static IP addresses for £30 a month. Call up MTN and ask for this specification and see what figures they quote you?

COMPAQ:
Internet in Nigeria of 2011 is much, much faster, reliable and cheaper than 2007. I figure that by 2015, it'll get better still.

The main issues are excessive taxation by all tiers of govt, very poor power supply, security and other logistical issues. All these come together to make the cost of operations high.

As more cables come on stream, last mile delivery improves and more competition hots up (whenever Etisalat commences 3G and perhaps maybe 4G services), prices will drop further still and the speed will improve. There are upgrades that can be done on an existing 3G network that can increase average download speeds from say 600kbps to 1.2Mbps, not to talk of even implementing 4G LTE!!

Can you really back that up with figures? It's not enough to say it costs this much and that much to do what not. You don't even know how much it costs. Did you read the profits declared by MTN on the first page. . . Lemme put in into perpective.

N0.857 trillion in pre-tax profits. . . . Remind me of the cost of all those things you were saying again.

Do you really mean Internet Service provider or Internet Cafe?
Please clarify!

Hehehehe.
Just check out all the posts.
The people are fed up.
