They have handed Nigeria another "Banger" to worry about,

1st it was 2nd hand planes

Then 2nd hand Trains

Now 2nd hand ships

If Taiwo cannot cut it in a more Technical but slow paced league, how would he survive in a league that is played at 100mph

Only Babayaro survived

Kanu was too slow
Mikel too slow
Yakubu another may be!!!
Finidi flopped after one season
Martins flopped after one season
Iroha flopped after one season
Agahowa was eaten alive by the league


The only Nigerians who survive are British born

Right! So here's my Challenge! Make a list. Take a look at the 2 images below and tell me how many people you think made money from each of those pictures. I believe there are at least 10 different career / business opportunities in each picture apart from the fashion designer? Simply put, I am asking you to look beyond the clothes and answer the question.

Its not only Nigerian but world wide most especially during the summer,


Once upon a time on my friend and I stopped to pick up 2 Zambian girls then head to the night club, on our way out, we steppped into a crowded lift and I could feel that is wearing nothing beneath her dress! I the car I dropped the topic and they both said. Why would you wear pant in the heat? most especially when you are going to dance alot, no air or ventilation down south and you need to keep the place fresh. My friend and I felt shocked but its the truth.

The officoals would be rubbing their hands thinking about how much is on offer to embezzle! That was the main reason why they sacked Siasia

“They were all greenhorns spotted during the National Sports Festival. If we can drill and use them, they might automatically graduate to Under-20. Some players in the Spanish national team played in the Nigeria 1999. We have to evolve a pattern to adopt and play. We have to resolve whether to adopt Brazil style or combination of Africa and European style,” he noted.

Xavi played in the 99 tournament and still look strong

Agahowa played in the 99 tournament and looked like he was present durning the last super!!!

It depends on why you were terminated

If its because, poor performance, gross miscounduct or breaching one of the companies policies then they have the right,

But if you were fired because you were pregnant! NO even if you were on maternity leave the firm have to keep your role open! unless if the firm goes belly-up!!!

Travel around Africa and see for yourself.

You could be right about the influence of Nollywood in Africa but please seperate Naija Pop for Nollywood (meaning seperate Music from Movies)

The Nigerian music industry showed not only maturity but a lot of creativity thats why US Hip Hop stars are now trying to use the creativity of Nigerians, but the Movie industry lacked everything but very good at stealing other peoples idea

Spot on!!!! You couldnt put it any better!!!

Thierry Henry was never good enough to with the Ballon D'or,

The world cup 1998 - he was a back up striker to both Stephane Guivach and Christophe Duggary who got injured thats why Henry played and when Duggary was fit Henry was benched, Yes he did alot for Arsenal but when it matters he always come short, the further Arsenal gets in the Champions League the more likely he disappears, it took Zidane to come out of retirement when it looked like France might reach the 2006 World Cup.


Xavi - is an interesting one but remember he was the player of the tournament at EURO 2008, he is the heart beat of both Barca and Spain but when your looking for the WOW! moment am sorry Messi holds that candle.


Ferenc Puskas - I cant say much but I was led to believe that Di Stephano was the better of the 2 madrid stars

The Indians are going to start something similar to the IPL (Indian Premier League) the Cricket tournament during the summer. now they want a football tournament in the summer with stars to play for a club owned by very rich investors in a tournament that would last between 6 - 8 weeks,

If the IPL could pay cricketers between £600k to £1m then they could go the same way but remember Cricket is huge in India and football is still at its infancy stage, but I heard the story 2 weeks ago.

Nia is too short

Worst decision of 2011! I took Arik to Lagos in 2009 and it was fantastic, I took Virgin in 2010. But last May I had the chance to get Air France or BA until someone told me that they have a seat available on Arik! With the 2009 experience still fresh in my mind, I rushed off and paid for it. BIG MISTAKE!!! No in-flight entertainment (thank God I had my lap-top to watch movies that I downloaded) the crew looked and behaved unprofessional, the atmosphere was poor and negative. Am sorry they would have to pay me to get on that plane again. I would sacrifice the 12 kg in luggage.

Please tell me how much you would get a 1993 Camry? (LHD)

Brother, I'm an engineer, not a dealer. I know what to look for in a clocked car, I also know what's realistic and consistent with regards the mileage displayed.

Spot on!

110k miles on a 1993 car, Oh Please!!!

why 1994! you could get it for free at the scrap yard!

Regarding Exhausts

Anyone who watched F1 last season will be familiar with the term "blown diffuser", and that's exactly what has been banned.

This change has been in the pipeline for some time. 2011 cars made use of expelled exhaust gasses by channeling them through the diffuser at the rear of the car. This increased the amount of downforce generated by the diffuser.

To utilise the blown diffuser, exhaust gasses exited the car ahead of the rear wheels.

The innovation already broke an existing regulation, which stated that any system using driver movement as a means of altering the aerodynamic characteristics of the car was not allowed.

But it's now been absolutely kicked into touch.

The exhausts will now exit further back and higher on the car, well clear of the diffuser.

This will also remove the practice of "off-throttle blowing." This used clever engine mapping to keep the throttle open even when the driver was not depressing the peddle. This was to continue the airflow over the diffuser.

It didn't sound nice.

To the average fan,

The main change here will be theoretically reduced downforce at the rear of the cars, and a "looser" rear end. This will lead (again, in theory) to slightly increased lap times, all else remaining equal.

Additional effects will include better fuel consumption figures, which will no doubt please the environmental lobby. We might see less fuel saving than we saw last season if the cars are using less.

And for fans who like to listen to the cars, that strange "dying lion choking on a lump of wildebeest gristle" sound produced by off-throttle blowing will be mercifully absent.


Regarding the ECU

The engine control unit (ECU) is the brains of the car, and your road car almost certainly has one to control, among other things, the ignition timing and the amount of fuel fed into the engine.

It's common in aftermarket modification world to have them reprogrammed for additional horsepower. But the F1 ECU would make even the most extensively tuned Skyline weep from all 18 exhausts.

In F1, the ECU controls almost everything the car does. Fuel mix, clutch, throttle response, and much more.

A Technical Directive is something issued by the FIA instructing or advising teams that they should be doing something a certain way. They're typically mid-season rule tweaks.

The Technical Regulations are the actual set-in-stone rules, published at the start of the season.

So this change isn't really a change at all—it just reinforces existing rulings by placing them into the more permanent Technical Regulations.

To the average fan,

It's unlikely we'll notice a thing.


Regarding Car Safety

Three sensible, but minor changes, and all explain themselves quite adequately.

It's strange that cars used to be allowed to participate in preseason testing without having passed the crash tests, though. Modern F1 is obsessed with safety, but that was overlooked until now?

To the average fan,

It's unlikely we'll notice, unless someone fails a lot of crash tests and isn't allowed to do any testing at all.


Regarding Race Length

The 2011 Canadian Grand Prix lasted a record-breaking four hours and four minutes, due to a two-hour stoppage for safety reasons, six appearances by the safety car and extremely wet weather.

No one knew when (or if) it would restart, leaving the teams, drivers, commentators and viewers in limbo.

The likelihood of lengthy delays has increased with the greater emphasis on safety, so the FIA has covered off the possibility of a six-, seven- or eight-hour marathon with this new rule.

In a race with no suspensions, the long-standing two-hour limit still applies.

To the average fan,

Had this been in place last season, Sebastian Vettel would have won the Canadian Grand Prix. We'd have noticed that.

But four hours and four minutes was a record. It's extremely unlikely any race this year will reach that length—this change is somewhat akin to buying a snow shovel for a driving holiday in Egypt.

While you know you'll never need it, it's a reassuring presence nonetheless.

But you can rest assured that if you set your DVR to record for four hours, you WILL get the whole race. Complete with all the random, slightly uncomfortable visits to the pits by confused celebrities.




Regarding the Safety Car



It used to be the case that lapped cars could slip past the safety car and resume their position at the back of the queue. This meant the order behind the safety car was the race order.

Last year, as you'll no doubt have noticed, they couldn't. Restarts were blighted by the frequent presence of one or more backmarkers right in the middle of the battle for the lead.

This happening totally ruins the opportunity for the driver in second (or third, or wherever) to get a jump on the guy in front, as he must first negotiate his way around a dawdling, slower car.

This is a return to the older style. Or rather, the slightly-less-older style. It's changed more than once down the years.

To the average fan,

This will provide a better opportunity for some racing action at restarts, and result in less immediate field spread.

Safety car periods may last longer. Hopefully not, because I doubt race control will keep it out any longer than necessary, but the spectre of them extending it by a lap to allow all the lapped cars to unlap themselves will be a hovering presence.


Regarding Defensive Driving



Drivers may no longer move back onto the racing line having moved off it to defend a position.

What, never?

Sorry. When taken in a non-literal sense, this is an attempted clarification of the "one-move rule."

As it stands, a driver may make only a single direction change across the track in order to defend his position. Doing otherwise is referred to as "weaving," and if the Stewards notice the driver, will receive a penalty.

Some interpreted this to mean "one move to defend, one move back to the line," which clearly wasn't the intention.

This change is designed to remove any doubt.

To the average fan,

What this means is that the defending driver must, if he leaves the racing line while defending, brake for the corner on the "dirty line."

While most drivers already took the old version of the rule to mean exactly what this additional line states, a few perhaps did not. It's clear the Stewards weren't quite sure, either.

So it's possible we'll see overtaking become a little bit easier if everyone sticks to it—and penalties become a little more frequent if they don't.


Regarding Tyres



The entire tyre allocation for the Grand Prix weekend can now be used during Friday (or Thursday, in Monaco) practice.

Sometimes teams like to put a single heat cycle through tyres. This is simply heating the tyre up through a very short period of use—typically a single lap or two—and allowing it to cool.

Doing this can increase the hardness of the tyre compound, and in turn increase the longevity. In theory, the tyre will perform at a higher level for longer.

This is what a "scrubbed tyre" is. Sometimes drivers prefer this, sometimes they don't.

However, with Pirelli moving to softer compounds next season, it may be something we see more often.

To the average fan,

Difficult to say. It depends on whether the teams utilise the heat cycle strategy more. This change will let them cycle as many tyres as they want.

Previously, they had to fit in what heat cycling they could during qualifying.

Teams like Ferrari, which struggle to get heat into the harder compounds, probably won't. Red Bull used it on at least one occasion last season, and might do the same in 2012.

But even if they do, I can't honestly say I've ever thought "ah, he's using scrubbed tyres, that's why he's stayed out an extra two laps", but you never know. Maybe we'll notice it at some point.


Regarding Cutting Corners


This happened a few times last season, the most notable of which was Sebastian Vettel doing it during qualifying for the Korean Grand Prix.

He was not punished—no advantage was gained, as he would still have made it to line to start his qualifying lap had he not cut the chicane—but it got the FIA's attention and this is the result.

Cutting a corner could be the difference between getting another lap in and missing out, so it was a surprisingly important gray area which needed colouring in properly.

To the average fan,

We won't really notice this one unless someone does cut a corner or chicane.

If they do, a few qualifying laps might be taken away, and this could even affect the championship—but now we have clarification, it's unlikely to happen.


Regarding Penalties


Rather than keeping our 27 chickens in 13 different coops of varying levels of comfort, quality and accessibility, they now live in a single, three-storey coop with a floor plan and directions, meaning each egg can be easily located.

Particularly useful to farmers Hamilton and Massa.

To the average fan,

This means absolutely nothing, unless we decide to go scouring the regulations for ourselves. And the average fan probably won't.

The Greeks gave us Achilles

The Romans gave us Spartacus

The Trojan (of Troy) gave us Hector

The Kingdom of Zulu gave us Shaka Zulu

The Igbo’s gave us “Dopey by Nature” Jonathan Goodluck
