abilityman:
None of the above, Babcock University is the place to go!!!
Get the poser right: If there were just Ife,Lag and UI in Nigeria,which one will you choose?
Simple question.
EducationRe: Unilag vs OAU-Ife vs UI? by ofurufu(op): 4:31pm On Jul 02, 2008
I agree Ife grads and students are very pompous,proud and like to intimidate.But it is not their fault,people over-respect them.Many students and grads of other Unis(except rivals like Lag,UI,UNN) always feel inferior when they meet Ife guys,and trust Ife guys,they capitalize on that,and begin to brag.

Anywhere you see 2 or 3 Ife students,their presence is always felt with the intimidating GREAT IFE talk/shout/greeting.

SportsWhich European Team Can Eagles Beat? by ofurufu(op): 9:49am On Jul 02, 2008
Gone,surely,are the days when Super Eagles were feared not only in Africa but thruout the world. Then bookmakers will think twice before predicting Argentina as favourites pre-Nigeria-Argentina clash. Then Nigeria was reverredas being in the same class with countries like Argentina,Spain etc. Pre-match analysts will easily give 'the favourites' tag to Nigeria when they faced average European countries like Bulgaria,Greece. That was how highly rated the Eagles were then.

Suddenly,like a pack of cards,all the glory began to crumble. They totally lost reckoning in world football,and pitiably in Africa too. Countries like Angola,Gabon,Sierra Leone,Rwanda,Kenya,Niger,Lesotho and other hitherto minnows began to have gut to say they can beat Nigeria anytime they were grouped with Eagles in one qualifiers or the other.In recent time countries like Angola,Gabon,Lesotho,Sierra Leone,Uganda have either beaten the Eagles or drew with them or Eagles eking an uninspiring victory against them.

But today,with the Uche brothers marshalling the resurgence of Eagles,I believe these Eagles will fly again.
I believe the current Eagles can hold,if not beat, a country like France,England,Sweden etc. Pls Spain and Holland and even Italy are not included in my etc

Good you are honest. But I guess you are not living in Nigeria, because by picking none, the implication is that it's either you will rather not go to University at all or in other country because the poser was premised on the assumption that those were the 3 universities in Nigeria.It appears you didn't get the the poser right.

By the way,I also agree that Nigerian universities have not been faring well on webometric World/Continental ranking.
But that is not the issue in this thread.

Which of those three schools do you respect most? Students and graduates of the three schools are not meant to participate because they will obviously be biased. Comments from people from other schools are most welcomed. Or should we put as: Which of these three schools would you have chosen to go if they were the only 3 Universities in Nigeria? As for me I go like this:

SportsAfrica/nigeria's Greatest Footballer Ever? by ofurufu(op): 5:01pm On Jun 30, 2008
Who is Africa's greatest footballer ever? Personally I believe its George Weah. I think CAF came up with a similar thing to mark their 50th anniversary.
I can't recall the order but I think its like this:
1. Roger Milla
2,George Weah
3,
4,Eto'o
5,
6,
7,
8,Kanu
9,
10,
11,
12,Okocha

I can't recall the exact order but I'm sure Kanu was rated no 8 and the only Nigerian that made the top 10. JJ was rated no 12. Eto'o no 4. Yekinni no 17.I think Abedi Pele,Drogba and Essien also made the top 10.

Do you agree Kanu is Nigeria greatest footballer ever? I think I agree, and will also place JJ no 2.
As for Africa,personally I 'll give it to Weah,followed by Roger Milla and Eto'o in that order.

SportsAny True Pre-mourinho Chelsea Fan In Nigeria? by ofurufu(op): 1:30pm On Jun 30, 2008
About seven years ago I had a friend who was a staunch Chelsea supporter. I used to wonder why Chelsea,of all teams? Then it was either Man U or Arsenal,or maybe Okocha's Bolton that Nigerians wanted to hear about then. Chelsea was just a little-above-average team then,competing for 4th place with Newcastle,before Newcastle also met their own. That was Pre-Abrahamovich,Pre-Mourinho.

Then came the Russian billionaire and the dramatic Portugese, and overnight,Chelsea became a club to reckon with in the EPL. The period coincided with the period EPL became ultra-popular in Nigeria,and before you said CHE, ,a lot of Nigerians had joined the train.

Today,this friend of mine is the only Pre-Mourinho Chelsea fan I know,and these are people I know really watch football.

I'm sorry to say,95% of Chelsea fans in Nigeria started watching/following EPL in the last 4 years. Most Chelsea fans don't know ball.

For religious reason I'm not a die-hard fan of any foreign club but in all humility,I must say I have been watching football for quite long and I also read a lot about football. I always have sympathy for Arsenal/Barca though,but don't like to address myself as fan of these clubs. I watch football for fun,not as a crazy fan of any club.

I think Liverpool fans are the true football fans in Nigeria.Here is a simple,modest club that doesn't have any Nigerian interest unlike Mikel's Chelsea and Kanu's Arsenal. For anybody to say he's a Nigerian supporter of Liverpool,he should be a real person of football like Qasim Elegbede etc

Following Liverpool is Man U,much as I hate this club. This club enjoys wide support in Nigeria,yet no Nigerian has ever played there. Moreso my interactions with people have shown that Man U fans are always very informed in football(Chelsea fans the worst in football knowledge---imagine a Chelsea fan telling me Zola and Mutu played together in Chelsea, apology to the few ones that know football among them). I had difficulty choosing who the real football fans are btw Man U and Liverpool but I found out that Man U's treble in 1999 attracted many Nigerians to them, I gave it to Liverpool fans

Arsenal? Hmmmmmm, Kanu popularized this club in Nigeria. But even after Kanu's exit its till enjoys great support in Nigeria. Arsenal fans are also people of football knowledge and I recognise that just about half of Arsenal's support in Nigeria is accounted for by Kanu factor. Good football plus Igwe factor make up for the rest.


By the way,where are the once many Bolton fans in Nigeria? Oh sorry,they've gone with JJ, and most now Chelsea fans.

SportsRe: Your Super Eagles 11 by ofurufu(m): 10:58am On Jun 30, 2008
At the moment,I believe this is our strongest 11 (4-5-1)

-----------------------------------Enyeama-------------------------------------------

Ordiah----------------Yobo-------------------Shittu--------------------------Taiwo

-------------------------------------Ayila------------------------------------------------

------------------------Kalu Uche-----------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------Mikel-----------------------------------

Osaze----------------------------------------------------------------------------Ike Uche

-------------------------------------Martins-------------------------------------------------

Bench
Kanu for Mikel
Yakubu for Martins
Utaka for Osaze

NB:
1, Before you query my 4-5-1 formation, recall that Ike Uche and Osaze are attackers. So its almost like 4-3-3.

2,I know a lot of people will not agree with my starting Martins ahead of Yak, but i just have more confidence in Martins on field than Yakubu, and I can't explain the reason. But maybe it's because Martins is more hardworking and has undying fighting spirit from start to end of game. But I admit Yak is a more clinical finisher!!!

SportsRe: I Wish I'm A Nigerian by ofurufu(m): 10:41am On Jun 30, 2008
Good talk from Benjani. Being a Nigerian would have surely helped his career more,I also believe. But even without being a Nigerian, he is highly rated and,as far as I'm concerned, ranks in the same class with Yakubu & Martins. He may not be skilful,but very powerful,hardworking and committed.What he did in Portsmouth and now doing in Man City shows he is truly a Nigeria-class player. If he had been a Nigerian he may not have been our automatic NO 9, but he would have surely given Martins and Yak a run for the standing 9 shirt,and who knows his commitment than these players could have won him the coveted place!!!

Take heart Benjani,it's a pity Zimbabwe can never qualify for World cup, at least for now. So keep supporting Nigeria!!!!!
IslamRe: Ahmadiyyah: by ofurufu(m): 4:36pm On Jun 27, 2008
olabowale:
Anyone, who disregards or changes any part of the Qur'an, whatever that part is, is as bad as not being a muslim, in the first place. Therefore, if a man says and a following accepts that he is a prophet after Sayidina Muhammad, such a people have disbelieved.

If a person says any thing in the Qur'an, eg Jihad (struggle of all its kind, as Allah has stated it) is not acceptable and dead for ever, as if the future is already known to the speaker(s), such a group are just as bad as if they never have accepted Islam. Nothing in the Qur'an that is meant for man in general can be abrogated, if it was not abrogated by Allah, or an explanation from His Messenger (as).

As bad as the word "Jihad," is disliked by the nonmuslims, muslims should not disliked it. Jihad has many parts to it. The greatest of them is the one of the heart. That we all engaged in, daily. But even the physical battle (war; struggle which they accept as the only Jihad) is essential, in its place and times. Allah says in His Book that muslims should fight as a single unit. However not all of the muslims will in the battlefield all at once. Some will not have to go unless it be necessay, but all have to agree and commit to the war.

So a group that simple says that it renounces Jihad at all cost, is like a society that when it is invaded and threatened to be killed or worst still, oppressed, it does nothing. That is not a normal reaction of normal people. Islam is a religion that provides the best of the instictive quality of normal people.


A muslim who says that Jesus (as) was not lifted to heavens, is in disagreement with the Allah in that process of protecting and preserving the life of Jesus. How can such a person or group be worshipping Allah as true muslims if they say that Jesus died after he had lived his years, post crucifixion attempt. Allah is very specific in His book in the matters what human beings should know. He is also specific what human beings should not know. His messenger (as) was also specific about all the explanations that are essentials for muslim lives.

Therefore, a person who is providing the meaning of Alif, Laaam, Miiim, for examples, where they are the verses of the Qur'an, is going beyond what the Messenger and his Lord have said about these lettered verses. No human should know more than Muhammad. He, alay salaam said that the best his his generation, and then next and then next. If a man is a later date person to Islam, he can not be better in quality and pure knowledge than even the least of the 3 generations. And even the best of the generations can never be compared to the messenger, who is their master, their prophet, their professor and tutor. Yet Prophet did not not know the meaning of Alif, Laaam, Miiim, or any of the lettered verses of the Qur'an.

A group could not be stranger than this. The five pillars could be practice, with the essetial foundation of disbelief. Afterall the hypocrites or munafiqun are from the ranks of Muslims, and not from the ranks of dibelievers; the Mushrikun and the Al kitab.


@Littleb: My Sheikh, good job. May Allah reward your effort.
You have said it all!!!!

That is my conviction too.

Okocha testimonial: Bomb scare at airport
By Adekunle Salami, Warri
Published: Friday, 27 Jun 2008
There was pandemonium at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos on Thursday when one Jide Aminu forced the delay of the chartered flight conveying Austin Okocha and his guests to Warri, Delta State for his farewell match on Thursday.

Skip to next paragraph

File
Former Super Eagles captain, J

Aminu, who was aboard the flight, waited till the plane was taxing before he notified the IRS airline officials that Abuja, not Warri, was his destination.

In sympathy, the pilot made a U-Turn, apparently to enable him to alight. However, the situation attracted a sharp protest from the passengers, including s members of the Super Eagles, except Yakubu Aiyegbeni and coach Shaibu Amodu.

The foreign players on board were Portsmouth‘s Sulley Muntari, Man City‘s Bejani Mwaruwari, Mark Fish, Bolton‘s El-Hadji Diouf,

The protesters insisted that it was dangerous to allow Aminu alight from the plane, fearing he could have planted a bomb on it.

They demanded that the man, who claimed to be a banker and was on his way to Abuja to defend a N300m budget, travel on the flight to Warri to assure them that he did not plant any dangerous object on the plane. Fish insisted that Aminu‘s presence on board was the best security guarantee.

The passengers were further alarmed when Aminu told them that he had booked for a 9.45am flight to Abuja but only to board an 11.30am flight to Warri.

Fearing that the situation might disrupt its business, the airline officials decided to calm nerves by taking sides with the protesters and insisting that Aminu must go on board to Warri and return with the flight to Lagos before joining the one to Abuja.

Aminu eventually travelled on the plane to Warri and everyone was happy.

Partially right but it appears you did not understand your elders well. Dollar overtook Naira in 1984,long after Oil.

In our oil history you need to understand that that is a difference between the period oil
1,Was discovered
2,dicovered in commercial quantity, and
3,the famous oil boom period.

You used DISCOVERY not BOOM. BOOM,not DISCOVERY,period is closer to the period our problem started than DISCOVERY period. Boom took place in early to mid-1970s. Discovery decades earlier.

okay Mr research!!!!!!!!!,
lets see what wikipedia says about larsson,

Edward Henrik Larsson, MBE [IPA: 'hɛnrɪk 'lɑːʂɔn] (born September 20, 1971 in Helsingborg, Scania) is a Swedish footballer, best known for winning four titles in seven years with Celtic. He subsequently had a two-year spell at Barcelona, where he won two titles and the Champions League. After his contract had expired at Barcelona, Larsson returned to his home town club of Helsingborgs IF, and joined Manchester United on a brief loan spell between January and March 2007.

Prior to his retirement from international football in 2006, Larsson had won 93 caps for Sweden, scoring 36 goals. On 13 May 2008, it was announced that Larsson would once again play for Sweden at the Euro 2008 championships in Austria and Switzerland.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrik_Larsson


i need the link of your research,reasearcher!!!!!!!!!!!!!! okay
Happily, the link you posted is my own source too. Read down to PERSONAL LIFE sub-title and you will see this:
Personal life
"Henrik's father is from the Cape Verde Islands, off the coast of West Africa, and his mother is Swedish. In 1996 he married his childhood sweetheart, Magdalena. They have two children, Jordan (born 1997) and Janelle (born 2002).

Henrik still occasionally returns to Scotland to visit his long-time conditioning coach Dr Paul Bryson"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrik_Larsson

Nani is even more Cape-verdean, unlike Larsson,he was born in Cape Verde:

"About Nani:
Nani, whose full name is actually Luis Carlos Almedia Da Cunha has recently been in the news for his high profile move to top-flight English side Manchester United. Born in Cape Verde on 17th November 1986 Nani has become widely regarded as one of the most exciting youth prospects in recent years.

Although born in Cape Verde Nani migrated to Portugal with his family and grew up in Lisbon. His natural ability for football was apparent and quickly recognised and he was signed by Sporting Clube de Portugal."

TravelRe: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by ofurufu(m): 6:56pm On Jun 10, 2008
My own formula that solves FLIGHTPHOBIA consists of two parts:

1. As a Muslim, I believe in Qadar(Predestination). So If Allah had decreed I'm going to die by plane crash, there is just no preventing it. However Islam also teaches us that PRAYER can have effect. So after praying, I leave the rest to God,no fear again--what will happen will happen

2.I use the theory of probability: More than 500 flights take place during the year and the maximum that end up crashing in a year is 3. So the probability that the plane I'm travelling in will crash is very slim (roughly 3/500). Why not relax and assume nothing will happen

That's my own panacea to FLIGHT PHOBIA
