That immigration guy for embassy, he talked to me last Tuesday saying. "We have forwarded the proof from d insurance company to the schenghen authority and they have replied. We have forward their reply and everything to the Finnish Immigration service that's Migri and we're waiting to hear from dem anytime from now" When I asked him to give me a time frame, he said "that should be this week". The week don pass o, this new week is almost ending, still nothing from dem. Weird people.
I wish I had something to say, absolutely nothing.
Only good news is: my lectures don't start until 18th of October. Although d registration deadline for one of the courses is tomorrow, apart from that, I won't be too affected by late resumption. My HOAS issue is another worry, as it is... I guess they'll cancel my tenancy cos I never go claim d room/pay house rent. What a shame, I got a great apartment. 2 mins walk to d station, 13 mins to campus by bus abi na train sef. Mtchewww.
Bro no worry at all. Thank God, ur lectures will start in October. Send HOAS an email explaining the situation them fit find away around things by giving u a first option once accommodation dey available.
chic2pimp: I won't even go as far as to ask you to list the BIG Finals Terry was rated MOTM. I would be taking the piss if I did that. What I would ask you to do however is to list the number of Big Finals JT has put up a half decent showing?
I am pretty certain you never watched Henry at Juve(most people never did apart from Ardent Serie A fans ). Henry's problem had more to do with failing to settle in Italy rather than being a flop. I bet you never knew He had 2 coaches(with different ideas on what his best position was) in the 6 months He was with Juve. In His last 7-10 games, He actually did play well. If Drogba was judged by only his first season(Full not Half like Henry btw) with chelsea, He would also be considered a flop.
I am yet to see anyone rate Drogba over Henry apart from NL's Pseudo-Analysts.
God bless you o.... I still don't get the logic/reasoning behind comparing King Henry and Drogba.
hensben: check just Fontaine, Raymond kopa and host of others who were important players for France than Henry. Read what they wrote about thiery Henry;
Thierry Henry's international career will probably always be remembered for that handball to prevent Ireland from reaching this summer's World Cup, but if that is the case it is a great shame, as a truly remarkable career would be forgotten.
With 119 caps, Henry is the second most capped French player in history, with a chance to increase his tally even further in South Africa. He already holds the French goalscoring record with 51, ten goals clear of second place Michel Platini.
Henry was part of the both 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 winning sides as well as helping France to the Confederations Cup trophy in 2003 and the World Cup final in 2006.
A summary of Henry's individual awards is as follows:
Ballon d'Or – Runner-up: 2003[115] FIFA World Player of the Year – Silver Award: 2003, 2004[116] UNFP Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year: 1996–97 PFA Players' Player of the Year: 2002–03, 2003–04 PFA Team of the Year: 2000–01, 2001–02, 2002–03, 2003–04, 2004–05, 2005–06 FWA Footballer of the Year: 2002–03, 2003–04, 2005–06 Premier League Golden Boot: 2001–02, 2003–04, 2004–05, 2005–06.

Bros please comparing King Henry to Drogba is an abomination. I am a big fan of both players, but Henry was a beauty to watch during his 8 years period at Arsenal I won't forget his goals against United the crazy free-kick against Barthez and also his memorable goal against Liverpool, when he took on the entire Liverpool defence line.
Henry was the complete package during his time at Arsenal, he had mad skills, speed, excellent touch, he mastered the act of finishing. I think he even invented the style of finishing the requires a player to wait for the keeper to hit the deck, lean to a corner and calmly slot the ball the other way. The only reason Henry didn't win the Ballon d'or was the mercurial and superb Ronaldinho of 2003 - 2004
Double D himself won't be happy with you for saying he is better than Henry. Take nothing away from Didier, he was a man for the big occasion.... His FA Cup winning goal against United will forever remain in my memory... the way the commentator screamed his name,....DROOOOGBA
UniqueGem: The first mistake LVG might make with Martial is playing him out of position. That plan should be cancelled immediately because when he plays 2 matches out of position and doesn't score. The media will heap so much pressure on him that he'll also become scared of shooting when he eventually plays the 9 role.
osakajapan: VISITING FINLAND FROM 19 OCT TO 29OCT 2015
PLEASE I NEED TRAVEL INFO. I WILL BE IN FINLAND ON 19 THEN I WILL LIKE TO TRAVEL TO DENMARK,GERMANY, SWISS,FRANCE,ITALY, PLS I NEED TRAVEL ADVICE ABOUT TRain, MAP, EASY WAY TO GO, AND I DONT WANT TO ENCOUNTER IMMIGRANT CRISES. AND I NEED ADVICE ABOUT ACCOMMODATION .THANKS
coogar: vincente del bosque is already threatening de gea that he will not make spain's squad next year if he doesn't perform for man utd.....and yet ruudie is saying we don't hold the 4 aces? if we can throw £36m at a rookie in france, there's no limit to what we can offer de gea to stay. woodward should get him signed on a 6-year contract with a £300m buy-out clause.
We hold all of the Aces! mainly because of the threat from Del Bosque concerning Euro 2016 and our extremely large spending power and financial base as demonstrated in the acquisition of Martial an unproven 19 years old for between 36 to 58 million pounds.
The only stumbling block i can envisage is the stubbornness of LVG, It is not looking like he is ready to forgive DDG, repair their relationship and install DDG as No 1 GK.
DDG needs to man up and sign the effing contract, a clause can be included in it to allow him join Real for upward of 45 million quids. That will be a win win situation for all parties.
The advisors of DDG should give him some quality services... he should write an open apology letter to the fans and united family in general, sign a 5 years deal of around 300K quid and return to the first 11 ASAP. I read somewhere that Madrid will have to pay 10 million euros to DDG for not ensuring the transfer was done before the deadline.

jaymichael: Though we are still in the rainy season and there is enough water in the dams to power our hydro electric turbines. But overall one should note that the level of electricity supply is significantly higher than previous rainy season. Kudos to whoever is responsible.
Mr Sabinus....around 60% of electricity generated in Nigeria is through gas fired turbines.
Patakshite! Go and ruminate about the pearls of wisdom I have given you this nice sunday morning! It is only a dumbo such as yourself that negates the facts on a public figures google or wikipedia pages and beats his chest about the information he gets from a rag and laughable paper such as the METRO! You came here to troll and got your anus ripped apart by me and also your supposed facts were exposed to be nothing more than the hollow musings of an extremely dim witted ASSholenal fan! I know you have felt pained since I ruptured your ego like a cheap pillow with my valid pointers, but what did you expect! You can't always run into a thread such as this 1 littered with champions, like a rabid hungry dog, foaming at the mouth, and typing hogwash and not expect to one day get slapped with the fury of angry mother kangaroo trying to protect its newborn! In this case the newborn was our united thread! And you got your deserved comeuppance so abeg deal with it!
We know your type here! When they have nothing else to say to hide their embarrassment they turn to the tried and tested "you copied or you have multiple accounts theory"! Your dwindling reputation is similar to that of your clubs own, so believe me when I say you are nothing but a running joke over here! Are you this jobless on a sunday morning? Did you bring up any debate that we have exchanged any banter over that has lead you to this point? NO? I thought as much! You seem eager to display your abject _stupidity for no discernable reason just like a kings royal clown does, and for someone always claiming to be an intellectual like your "picture snapping brother" you don't realise this is the attitude displayed by yobs on the street!
See you having emotional outbursts just like a teenage girl over nothing, or is your tampon itchy? I'm sure you must be one of the 1st men on earth that menustrates? Anyway your a "gayner", its a character flaw in most of you!
Listen braggart! I'm a boss which means I dictate the pace to subordinates and not the other way round! This emmission of frustration that you have been emitting since you logged has even sent your rating further down societies totem pole even further and that's just sad! You are bland, vapid, and very similar to a big drum that sounds very loud from a distance! On closer inspection though I have only realised that you are nothing more than a meek little church rat, who feeds off the mob mentality due to your naturally bone deep cowardice!
I know In the small time you have known me I have enriched your pathetic soul by reminding you how to think intelligently and once more awakening the forgotten parts of your IQ that had been run over by cobwebs and maggots due to its dormant state! Don't worry it is my pleasure! Try not to think too hard about my eloquent way of getting my message across, after all I'm gnomic on purpose so as long as you get tha basics you will be alright!
Now finally can you please involve me in a discussion related to my clubs match today or even your clubs transfer targets and not this local garage boy antics of trading barbs for no reason of which I'm sure you are an expert in due to your disadvantaged upbringing? If not then let me just say it has been my absolute pleasure insulting a hopeless cretin such as yourself this morning! Copy and paste THIS for posterity! Patak_SHIT!!!!
nyabinghi: how many times will i blame oluwaranti for failing you 7 times in csc 201, you even failed TPD 202. This dolt is even misusing marabout, i bet my bottom dollar he doesnt know who a marabout is. Starfool your life is a life of misery, kindly do the world a service by plummeting down a ravine.
StarBoard: Freedom should be deprived for those who make senseless and nonsensical statements like Rudd left United because of Saha (of all people).
If that is coming from a supposed Master's degree holder then I am ashamed of my alma mater for producing this drivel manufacturing machine of a graduate.
akinsbola452000: @JOTINEZ, most undergraduated courses in finland are in finnish language. but i think some schools offer nursing in english. check the school and look for courses offered in english
