European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here (Old) by olawa20(m): 3:45pm On May 18, 2007
Alex is willing to come in, though there are rumours JM is not favourably disposed to him

Ballack to me has made more impact than sheva and might still improve in the season. sheva doesnt seem to have it in him any longer. though both are definitely not justifying the huge investments in them yet

Christianity EtcRe: Are You A Christian If You Don't Believe Every Bible Story? by olawa20(m): 4:28pm On May 16, 2007
Are u a christian and u find it hard to believe these things, or you want to become one and you find it hard to believe these due to insufficient evidence to back such claims?
1Peter 1:8 says: "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,". That to me is the essence of our faith. Christians are BELIEVERS.
If you are a christian and you have doubts about some of these things, you can prayerfully deal with it. It says in 2Peter 1:16 that we do not follow after cunningly deviced fables. His Divine birth, the life he lived here on earth, his death and resurrection are key truths of the christian faith. without them you would be talking about a different religion.

PoliticsRe: Katsina State After 8 Years Of Yar'adua. by olawa20(m): 3:11pm On May 08, 2007
sure, i get your drift. but look at this way. if u are being disturbed by pests in a building with a lot of rooms and with lots of porous entrances. it will be hard if not impossible to deal with them in your single room, don't you think?
you have to fashion out a way of tackling it with the other occupants of the building. the almajiri issue is a north-wide one and rather sensitive and it has to be tackled collectively. that's why i think it is rather unfair to use that issue as a yardstick for his term as governor
PoliticsRe: Katsina State After 8 Years Of Yar'adua. by olawa20(m): 6:45pm On May 05, 2007
it is rather unfair to judge a governor especially in the northern part of nigeria for not tackling the almajiri. just like it has been noted you have to view it in a broader framework; there is the issue of migration from neighboring countries. then you also have neigbhoring states to contend with. it's just like a single state attempting to eradicate highly infectious diseases like polio in isolation, it won't work, you simply get reinfected by your neighbours.

but i think we need to have more information about what 8 years was like in katsina under Yar'adua. what was the focus of his administration and what level of success did he achieve. what was his style of administration? what level of leadership did he exhibit? does he believe in merit or in cronyism? these are a few of the question i think need answers so that we know what to expect.

that he saved money is not a minus. but if he saved without a clear purpose might signify a general ineptitude and complacency.

but i guess we'll all have to hold our breadth and see how things work out.

I hope you are not forgetting that there is another AYUA administrative panel that also indicted him.
The National Assembly ad-hoc committee on PTDF also indicted him. INEC can base their disqualification on any of these.

But i'm sure there wont be an end to litigations this way.

nazzyon:
I read about Yar' adua's death on Business Day News paper earlier today. It was online so I am not sure if it'll be there iwe.

It was brief not developed. So I had to believe that it was true.

Here is the link:
http://www.businessdayonline.com/?c=45&a=11761
it's no longer there. they've changed the story. This is what you have at the link now:

"Yar'Adua is not Dead!

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umar Musa Yar'Adua is hale and hearty, a statement from the party said today.

John Odey, National Publicity Secretatry of the party said in Abuja that Yar'Adua is in Germany for a routine medical check-up, dousing rumours making the round that Yar'Adua was dead.

Odey said Yar'Adua would soon return to join the campaign train of the party."

All the other major dailies dont have that news too. It's not on cnn, not on sky news.

For now, i think the news is false!

mushki:
I left my country, (not tz), with great respect for nigerians eg wole soyinka, chinua etc - that's what we read in school, then i came abroad and that went down the drain. Of all the naija men ive met only two actually have known sources of income. the rest are in "business". Their women are very hard working and enterprising. There is nothing wrong with magendo(craftiness) here and there to make a buck but naija men are too much.

Bankole01:
is OBJ standing for elections? THis is an emphatic yes. His name may not be on the ballot per say, but he is definitely running for the election of his life and this is why it is a 'do or die' event for him. Let us stop being so naive- Obasanjo knows full well his corrupt enrichment and ill-running of the country will be visited by the opposotion if people like Buhari should win the presidential elections, this is why he is running by proxy, stuffing the polls with his cronies and partners in crime.
just imagine it won't that be a wonderful opportunity for us to reject both of them at the polls!
Christianity EtcRe: If The Bones Of Jesus Were Found by olawa20(m): 5:27pm On Mar 03, 2007
ludicrous !
davidylan:
I hear they are trying to get some DNA evidence from those "bones", perhaps they can take a simple trip to heaven to get some samples from God himself. what a waste of time.
what will dna achieve in this situation when you don't have any other material to base your judgment on. will they go to heaven like david suggested.

they are only trying to hack at the beliefs that form the foundations of the christian faith and it simply won't work like many other such schemes. How about the National Geographic documentary of last year that talks about a scroll written by Judas Iscariot. They simply don't understand what faith means!

that's an easy statement and rather careless statement to make when you live in cyprus.

come to nigeria and see if the common man gives a damn about whether atiku runs for election or not. No one is fooled any longer about the stunts these people perform when they are seeking power. I won't be surprised if after everything atiku returns to the PDP.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Chelsea Fans: Identify Yourselves Here (Old) by olawa20(m): 5:30pm On Mar 01, 2007
they were beaten 3 - nil by blackburn on sunday. They have one win from the last eight matches and a good number of key players are down; they are definitely not the team that started the season so brilliantly

But we'll be playing them at home and it means they'll be hungry to reverse their fortunes, but they'll most likely want to play it safe. They'll want to have a draw at least.

But we cannot afford even a draw at the moment. ManU is 9 points ahead. So we have to against them strong. I see no reason we shouldn't beat them.
