PoliticsRe: Happy 50th Independence To All Nigerians - Is It Worth It? by newgroom: 12:53am On Oct 01, 2010
There's no worst way to reach 50 than the kidnapping sword of Damocles hanging over our head. 15 innocent children are still missing. Their parents are helpless.

A responsible and responsive government would have cancelled the Eagle's square jamboree. But then it is not their children.

Please pray for the safety of these children and that God should touch the heart of the oga kidnappers.
RomancePastors’ Advice On Chastity Earns Me Menopause As Spinster by newgroom(op): 12:30am On Oct 01, 2010
I am in my late 40s. I have never been married and still waiting on God to give me the man of my dreams. I have always been a good Christian, one that kept all the doctrines and did nothing without consulting my pastors. I became born again when I was in secondary school. My parents attend Catholic Church. Though they tried to dissuade me from joining my church, they soon gave up on my ways and me. They did to have peace at home as I was as determined too to make life difficult for them.

There is nothing I do without the express permission of my pastors to the irritations of my parents who saw it as another form of idolatry. From as far as I can remember, no man came my way without me first seeking the approval of my pastor.

Strangely, none of the men was ever approved as being the right man for me. After a while, when all my friends were all almost married, my mother called me aside to plead with me to get married and stop pegging my decision on who is right or wrong on the recommendations of my pastors.

I ignored her because she has always been my major antagonist when it comes to religious matters. I had to leave home when the last of my sisters got married. Being the first daughter and child of the family, my mother told me she couldn’t live with me any longer under the same roof. And that she wanted her husband to herself since I have refused everyman who came my way.

At the time I left five years ago, the number of men asking for my hand in marriage had almost disappeared entirely. Many who saw me assumed I was married with children. The few that came my way were either out to mock me or looking for a woman to sleep with.

I became not just desperate but afraid that I might end up without a husband. As I write my youngest sister has two children already. My immediate sister’s two children are already in the university. The rest of my siblings are not only married but are parents. These days, I hate going home because they all look at me with scorn.

Agatha, since last year, not even the wayward ones have come my way to even look at the market I am selling. The worst thing now is that my menses have stopped flowing.

The most painful thing now is that all the pastors who once encouraged me are now urging me to lower my standards and marry any man before I completely lose out. At 49, what choices do I have? I went for medical examinations when I discovered my menses had stopped only to be told by the doctor after examination that I was entering menopause.

Help me Agatha, because I feel suicidal. I want children, husband like every other woman, but here I am, having given God everything I have without a man or child to call my own. I am looking older than my age because of all the frustrations.

Please help me. Why has God abandoned me to suffer this shame? I did everything He asked me to do.

SportsWesley Sneijder: World Player Of The Year In Waiting? by newgroom(op): 11:30pm On Jul 07, 2010
He was rejected by Real Madrid and sold to Inter Milan for  a reported fee of €15 million last year. He immediately became a hit helping them to win the European Treble, consisting of Serie A, Coppa Italia and UEFA Champions League.

In the ongoing World Cup in South Africa, Holland  is arguably the team of the tournament judging from the number of matches they have won and the number of goals they have conceded.

In a tournament that has produced a lot of flops in the like of Messi, Ronaldo, Kaka et al, Sneijder has been the thrust of his team. They rely on his creative talents to steer them. He is currently a joint-highest goal scorer with five goals in the tournament and the last of which was the work of a craftsman, according to FIFA.

His influence has also increased in the team. The fact that he was featured in the return leg match of UEFA Champion league's Semi Final with Barcelona by the Special One himself despite nursing an injury could only point to one thing- his creative influence.

Just this evening I watched it on one of the local stations where Inter Presi said something like SAF should bring "good" money if he wants their prized possession.

If he could carry his team to subdue Spain on Sunday, I will not be surprised if he is named the world Player of the year for 2010.

SportsFIFA To Consider Goal-line Technology by newgroom(op): 10:29pm On Jun 29, 2010
FIFA president Sepp Blatter has apologised to England over Frank Lampard's disallowed goal and confirmed that the use of goal-line technology is back on the agenda.

Lampard's effort during England's 4-1 defeat to Germany was ruled out even though the ball clearly crossed the line and has led to renewed calls for the introduction of technology, while Mexico were also victims of a refereeing error against Argentina.

"I have spoken to the two federations (England and Mexico) directly concerned by referees mistakes. I have expressed to them apologies and I understand they are not happy and that people are criticising," Blatter told a media briefing in Johannesburg.

"It is obvious that after the experience so far in this World Cup it would be a nonsense to not reopen the file of technology at the business meeting of the International FA Board in July.

"Personally I deplore it when you see evident referee mistakes but it's not the end of a competition or the end of football, this can happen.
"We will naturally take on board the discussion on technology and have first opportunity in July at the business meeting of the International FA Board."
Blatter added: "It happened in 1966 and then 44 years later - though it was not quite the same.

"I apologised to England and Mexico. The English said 'thank you and accepted that you can win (some) and you lose (some), and the Mexicans bowed their head and accepted it."

Blatter added that FIFA will launch a new initiative to improve refereeing standards later this year.

"We will come out with a new model in November on how to improve high level referees," he added. "We will start with a new concept of how to improve match control. I cannot disclose more of what we are doing but something has to be changed."

SportsAre Players Not Becoming Too Powerful? by newgroom(op): 12:20pm On Jun 21, 2010
The ongoing FIFA2010 World Cup in South African has once again revealed the salient fact of the power players now command (or thrust on themselves) in the running of a team.

From France to England. From Cote D'Ivoire to Brazil. we have seen how the coaches are dancing to the tune of the players especially in crisis time.

The story is the same at club level. It has become so bad now that the retention of the jobs of some coaches are at the mercy of the players as recently witnessed in Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City and a host of others.

Players no longer respect their contracts to the extent that some coaches now resort to begging the players in an attempt to retain their best legs.

Is this how things should be? What do you think has to be done? Is it the unbelievable wages they are receiving that is causing this or the trophy-by-all-mean posture of the club owners?

Let's contribute please.
