Does the away goals rule apply in extra time?

There is nothing wrong with being a "village woman" or "village man" (whatever that means).

Those of us who have not spent much time in the village probably have parents, grandparents or great grandparents who have lived a greater part of their lives in the village.

Kenyan defender George Owino Audi received a 10-year ban and a fine of 15,000 Swiss francs (13,165 euros).

What is the point of giving a ten-year ban and imposing a fine? If he refuses to pay, what more will FIFA do?

From a football player's perspective, there probably isn't much difference between a ten-year ban and a life ban.

... the State Government has since taken responsibility for the twins named Benedict and Linda Ayade.

Does the mother not want to take care of the babies?

The twins' surname is Ayade. Is that the father's name or were the children given the name of the state governor?

Does Afokang prison have a nursery? If not, may the mother be allowed to take care of the babies under house arrest?

... the appointment followed a transparent nomination process where any national of the Bank’s membership could be proposed by any Executive Director or Governor.

In theory, any national of the bank's membership can be appointed.

However, in practice, the current and all the past World Bank presidents have been nationals of the United States.

So OP, from where you see Eiye confraternity

Even though 'eiye' was mentioned in the report, a man was arrested because he was alleged to have been involved in 'violent episodes, drug trafficking and exploitation of prostitution'.

He was not arrested simply because he belonged to a particular group, as the headline suggests.

Junior WAEC helps schools sort out students into whether they would be 'science' arts' or commerce' students in Senior secondary school

Indirectly it determines which course one would read in university or polytechnic eventually.

It is not necessary to use Junior Secondary School (JSS) Certificate Examination to 'sort out' students. Each student should choose the subjects he/she is interested in at the senior level.

A student may not do well in a particular subject in JS3, but may show remarkable improvement the next academic year.

Examinations for JS3 should be internal.

The JSS Certificate Examination should be scrapped; the certificate is neither accepted for employment nor used for admission to tertiary institutions.

The Junior Secondary School (JSS) Certificate Examination should be scrapped. It is a waste of time and resources. I am yet to see any advertised job in which the JSS certificate qualification is acceptable.

If the "victim" was caught in the act, the accused may plead "temporary insanity".

Asking for the full meaning of an abbreviation is not a standard test question.

An abbreviation could have several meanings or may mean nothing at all to some people.

When an abbreviation is spoken or written, it is for the speaker or writer to mention the full meaning if necessary; the listener or reader does not need to give any explanation.

N8.9 billion for 7.25 km of road, that is N1.2 billion per km - is the cost right?

This is torture.

It appears as if the current FIFA president is more interested in quantity than quality.

Can a magistrates' court give a fourteen year jail sentence?

It may not be an exact replica, but I'll give the tailor a pass mark.

MediaNGN:
A jury found him guilty of concealing this evidence from authorities to reduce his 2012 sentence.

I don't understand how the jury came up with such a verdict.

It is not the duty of the accused to reveal evidence against himself. He has the right to remain silent.

EastGold:
It's funny

Efcc will not see this one.

But they won't allow 'working boys' rest for Ibadan and Ogbomoso

It appears EFCC only serves two interests:

- The presidency. (Who is the presidency?)

- Foreign interests, particularly the United States.

If a person's activities do not go against the presidency, or against foreigners (US citizens in particular), EFCC will 'see no evil and hear no evil'.

He has been banned for life, and he has been fined. If he refuses to pay the fine, what will FIFA do?

The card reader has failed to authenticate several registered voters today.

Fingerprints don't (usually) change, so the problem may be with the card reader, and not with the registered voter.

Dr Francis Abioye's zeal to protect certain animals is commendable, but should be backed up with positive action, not just threats of arrests.

If a python is seen in a public area or private compound, can the zoo task force be called to take away the reptile? Will the zoo task force respond promptly, and without charge?

Is there any written list of protected animals in Nigeria? I would like to see it.

These types of threads should not be on the front page.
We should not celebrate the killing of harmless wildlife creatures.

This same ethiopian went to win dubai marathon also, kai over greedy

Sintayehu Legese has never won the Dubai marathon; in fact, he has never even been among the top ten. However, even if he had won other marathons, I wouldn't consider that as greed. It is simply his way of earning an income.

Nasman387:
at 22 this guy has this mentioned above to his name. why not kill him at once

In the first place, he is probably not 22. Perhaps he was 22 in 2014 when he was first arrested, which would make him 27 today.

Some may desire that he should be killed at once, but from the narrative, the only offence he may be charged for is possession of firearms (the second time). There is no evidence that he has killed anybody, neither has he been caught during any armed robbery operation. He may decide to withdraw his confessions.

If he is charged and convicted, the first and second prison sentences may run concurrently.

Lhimeet:
I'm confused here

Japan and Qatar?

Someone explain to me please

As the South American football association (Conmebol) only has ten members, additional invitees are required to create a workable tournament structure.

Initially, six extra teams - three from North America and three from Asia - were set to be invited in order to create a 16-team tournament, as was the case for the 2016 competition in the United States.

But instead, in May 2018, Conmebol decided the tournament should follow the structure of all other competitions since 1993 and have 12 teams, with Qatar and Japan invited.

I do not understand why Customs seizes tramadol, when it is not an illegal drug.

Just because a drug is alleged to be abused by some people does not mean that the drug is not useful when taken appropriately.

This is like trying to kill a fly with a sledge hammer.

Nonsooke:
Anyway, two years ago, the school made a rule that students that have ever been matriculated in another school cannot hold any elective position.

What can those who do not support the rule do?

- Challenge the rule in court on the grounds that it is discriminatory. (This may be a tough option, for the university authorities may decide to victimize students who resort to such a bold action.)

- Refuse to be a member, or participate in any association in the university. If certain students cannot hold any elective position, they may as well not pay dues to any association in the school.

When the industrial action eventually ends, will the lecturers (state and federal) be paid for the period of the strike?
