Mr_Anony: My guy, why are you fussing over irrelevant stuff? Do you think that on the last day, God is going to judge between ipads and paper?

Leave Acidosis alone o. Him no wan gree but that's the reality.

Acidosis: really? so what happens when people begin to inscribe bible pages on their "privates"? follow the new trend/path ?

Abeg talk better. How can the trend take us to the point where words will be written in 'privates'? I thot the world has gone beyond that. Fact, print media is gradually being phased out so also is the culture of paper books. Everything is now going e-book.

That's the path of the new world, so no offence will be taken. A time was when they had to read from the scroll, even before the scroll, stones were used as writing materials.

It's always like that. They fight to raise their profiles, it makes the game more interesting.

When will people stop killing because of money?

wandeay: 30? whoopss!! No husband!

Is she complaining? Marriage na by force?

floriana: Serena Williams was great though Azarenka was my choice player for this match. Serena lost her nerves and left many of her supporters despondent at some points. But she finally won. And $1.9M is huge too.

I guess Azarenka lacked mental strength when she needed it most. She had the championship right before her but she let it slipped.

Serena Williams showed incredible resolve to outlast Victoria Azarenka and secure her fourth US Open title.

The 30-year-old lifted her 15th Grand Slam singles crown - and fourth in New York - with a 6-2 2-6 7-5 win in 138 minutes on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

World number one Azarenka served for the match, but Williams broke in a run of four ruthless games to triumph.

She became the first player aged over 30 to win the US Open women's singles since Martina Navratilova in 1987.

"I honestly can't believe I won," said the American. "I was preparing my runner-up speech because she was playing so great."

Azarenka wept into a towel at the end as her dream of becoming the first Belarusian to win the US Open ended in agonising fashion.

"It's tough but Serena deserves to win," said the 23-year-old. "She showed what a true champion she is.

"I'm honoured to stand with such a true champion here. I definitely gave it my all today, stepping out of this court I have no regrets."

It was a dramatic end to an captivating encounter that suggests Williams remains the leading player in women's tennis and further cements her place among the legends of the sport.

The win comes 13 years after her first US Open title in 1999 - the biggest span of success by a female singles player in the Open era.

She is the fifth woman in the Open era to triumph four times in New York and now has a 15-4 win-loss record from her 19 major finals.

The result looked a formality as Williams blasted her way through the 34-minute first set with two breaks of serve.

An inch-perfect lob in game two drew applause from Azarenka, while a series of brutal winners in game eight epitomised her dominance.

Having come from a set down to beat Maria Sharapova in the semi-finals, Azarenka knew she was capable of mounting a fightback.

Hope arrived with a Williams double-fault early in set two, and the American was further distracted by a foot fault in game three.

Azarenka had captured the momentum and she struck again for a 4-1 lead before comfortably levelling the contest.

It was the first US Open women's final to go the distance since 1995 and breaks were exchanged in a nervy start to the decider.

Azarenka made what seemed a decisive move when she punished an error-strewn Williams in game seven and held for 5-3.

The crowd noise rose to deafening levels and it had contrasting effects - Williams growing in belief, Azarenka wilting.

Williams produced a crunching forehand winner to put the set back on serve, levelled and then broke again when Azarenka netted.

A flurry of ferocious serves moved the home favourite to within a game of glory, and she was able to celebrate when Azarenka fired long.

She defeated Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 to claim the grand prize. The match is one of the most spectacular matches of the tournament. The victory also edges Serena closer to the leader board of most grand slam wins needing 7 more to match Steffi Graff records.

She is a great player if you ask me.

Nice one!

This scenario is what most couples face in marriage but because of our cultural background, we force ourselves to live through it. Endurance is key in any union. We have to see our partners as more than sex objects, see them as companions, the best friend that you can't live without. If you can keep childhood friends forever, then ur wife shouldn't be an exception.

Sadly, many of us marry for the wrong reasons and when the reasons are outlived, we tend to find marriage uninteresting, depression sets in and before we know what is going on, we find comfort elsewhere.

To those being forced into marriage, please search your mind and be truthful to yourself.

It's really a shame that a country as big as Nigeria can't afford the right to broadcast a super eagles match. We say our football is backward, is this not one of the factors that is taking our football back into the dark ages?

If we could have access to watch matches that are not relevant to us as a nation, why not our dear country? Sadly, the glory days are gone.

ItGeek: Goal, a glimmer of hope. Its easy to be an arm chair critic, the GK have tried in this tournament, she did not concede any goal till the match against the US. Even world class keepers make mistakes. Don't crucify the lady cos of one mistake.

Did u see the brazil match?

redcliff: Ask him if those people that have cars came from mars? Some people just dey reason like jackass

Don't mind him joor

seun_fuck_garri: Let us assume u collect the loan and buy the car, what is ur imagination if to say car snatchers, snatch the car.

The same way you can invest and not get any returns on investment and even loose the investment.

And same way one can die(God forbid) with millions stack up in personal acct... the money will be useless when you are gone.

I don't think the poster is a fool not to have any plan for the future and getting a car today should not affect his plans if well thought out. 80k no be joke in Naija. How many people earn that?

The guy said he wanted a car, why all the preachings on saving his money for something else? @poster, please do what pleases you. I can see a golf 3 has been recommended, a trial will make you happy.

This issue calls for serious concern. Nigeria has been known as a dumping ground from time immemorial. I pray they do something quickly to contain it.

akereconfi: Photoshop ni......take a look @ obama'z leg......abi naa azonto him wan dance....

I see so many Photoshop trash makin frontpage these days.......all these Mods

Guy, it's no photoshop. I saw it on video so stop spewing trash.

jedisco: Well thats true cos nothing really comes free.
If it was in 9ja everybody would be using flagships and disappearing after 2 months except if the terms of the contract are really strict. Even at that, people would still find a way to circumvent it

Sad we can't make things work in this country.

I strongly disagree with your view. I mean, we go to school to become better individuals, the reason we read is to pass exams. For God sake, the Bible points the gate to heaven. Reading this and applying this piece guarantees you financial success. Except you did not acquire any knowledge in school then your point has value.

That's a big fallacy my dear. Which piece if I may ask? If that's what bring riches, then the world should have produced millionaires in their billions. Many people have read books on wealth and are still as poor as church rats. What works for A may not necessarily work for B.

Imagineers: Your friend is a thief, she has not added anything to improve the business and she wants to be paid. The owner is too timid to tell her the blunt truth. If I were the owner I will install CCTV.

Hmmm, interesting. What do you expect a cashier to add to a biz? If the employer feels she is not living up to expectations, wouldn't it be honourable for him to let her go rather than being inhumane?

The way some reason leaves me much to ponder...

4llerbuntu: na ya saka o.

Thanks.

young why is it ur brain functions spasmodically and causes u cognitive dissonance?

a simple comment to join the thread would suffice but no, you had to demonstrate ur asinine traits.

who are u debating with? what has that post got to do with what i posted, do u suffer from tech-persecution mania?

this is infantile , crass and obscene mental delinquency. how does your post relate to anything prior to it on this thread? you just had to tarnish the thread with your brand of idiocy.


see, try compose yaself before posting on the tech boards or simply Bleep off to romance and sexuality where you belong. freetard

Where is the dislike button when you need one?

People seem to be losing faith in Nokia but this announcements should take them right back on track.

I'm not expecting the Lumia 920 to outperform the SG3 but it will surely give it a run for its money, same goes for the yet to be announced iPhone5.

Nokia calls it the most innovative phone in the world, but the innovations I have seen so far is in the camera (well at least) and the pureview HD+ screen. I just might be tempted to go for one the moment it hits the market.

@poster, what do you mean by 'ordinary' ppl? I think that word is demeaning. Let me ask, are you rich? If not, it would be right for me to call you ordinary?
Abeg rephrase your topic. Thanks.

This story sounds somehow but why would a single sensible lady in his right senses think of married men in the first place? She is lucky they didn't go beyond that.

Misplaced priority.

So you are interested in marrying ur enemy? If ur partner is not a friend, then I wonder who else she's gonna be?

There were times when the world was without mobile phones and people got on well. The advancement in technology has made phone use an addiction. If there's nothing of interest on d phone, I'm sure u wouldn't even think about your phone unless it rings.

Religion should be separated from the state. People should be able to choose with no compulsion. If religion continues to mix with state affairs, there can never be any meaningful development in such state.

azpekuliar: RVP bandwagon.....

Lol!
