Schwarzer will have stopped that, It was all Clichys fault, Denilson is useless blah blah blah. The same moronic comments from fake glory hunters. Well done gunners! Not a very good day in the office but we salute your hard work. Rosicky think nothing of that penalty miss. It was just one of them days.

Travel › Re: Early Morning Accident In Lagos Claims Three Lives by pappilo(m): 9:52am On Sep 04, 2010
@ Boladez

I appreciate your input but i think it is flawed. Driving into a large articulated lorry at 50Km/hr most likely = instant death. You ask why people drive at certain speeds when they know there are no street lights and reponse time for clearing broken down vehicles is low? That is the problem I have with that country, things are so rotten that mediocrity is now the norm. Why doesnt your government reduce the speed limit to 40km/hr in light of its failings in the area of accident management on its roads? You could have well have said people should just not bother driving at all and just walk since there are no street lights and response time for accident clearance is slow, at least that way they have no chance of running into any trucks.

You also praise the 'emergency services' who were on scene at 4am. This was a whole 120 minutes after the abandoned truck contributed to the death of 3 people. This is what I say about mediocrity. Things in the country are in such a deplorable state that people accept anything.

I will not say any more, but enlightened people must understand my viewpoint.

Cheers.

An opinion? Talking ill about the dead without facts? Assuming they were breaking the speed limit?

You only need to be travelling at 50mph and run into a stationery truck for you to die. I am sure u have seen a video of crash tests.

I will not normally diss anyone, at most I just read and shake my head at their ignorance but this topic hits closer to home for me. I hope you do not ever lose someone close to you through this type of gross negligence by your government. Cos only then may you understand where I am coming from.
Travel › Re: Early Morning Accident In Lagos Claims Three Lives by pappilo(m): 7:16am On Sep 04, 2010
You harakari are a big f.ool!

You wonder what speed the cars were doing to run into the truck abi? why dont you wonder why in your useless country, an articulated lorry is left abandoned on a major road/bridge for that long. I lost a former roomate to a crash like this many years ago and only God saved my sister although she bears the scars from her own experience with an abandoned molue on wait for it; a bridge (Iganmu).

The cars that crashed into this truck needed only be doing the speed limit of 100km/hr to have fatalities.

In all my years of living in this obodo oyinbo I honestly cant remember seeing a truck break down on a motorway lane. When there is an accident or incident on the roads, the emergency services are there in the twinkle of an eye and if need be the road is closed for as long as necessary regardless of whatever disruption it may cause. The authorities in developed countries recognise that every human life is valuable unlike in your useless country where people die avoidable deaths like chickens.
Sports › Re: Bolton Cancel Shittu’s Contract ! by pappilo(m): 7:45pm On Sep 03, 2010
I believe Danny Shittu moved to England long before he decided to play football professionally so I doubt his passport age will be different from his real age. But maybe he may have reduced his age by at most, about 2 years in that usual wuruwuru way most Nigerians do on their passports and other documents. Why Nigerians do that, I dont Know. I was a year older than most people in my class but only God knows how many of them were really older than me. grin

Do you think Bolton could have terminated Shittu's contract just like that? Lailai! If he didnt commit any gross misconduct they would have had to honour the contract and pay his wages for the remaining year on his contract. They reached an agreement where I am sure they paid something like half of his wages upfront and then made him a free agent which means he is free to sign for another club tomorrow and start earning again. Bolton save themselves some money and Shittu can hopefully find another club were he can enjoy playing football again.

Everyones happy and Its all sweet!

what is wrong with it?
who is better qualified to help baba carry the Ghana must go bags laden with cash if not his own son from his very loins.
The bags will even be going in the same direction so less fuel,money saved for the country.

Politics › Re: Nigeria At 50,do You Think The British Left Us Too Early? by pappilo(m): 1:02pm On Aug 27, 2010
You mumus castigating the poster have no brains. The poster is not begging the white man to come back nor is he/she saying that colonialism was a good thing. All he/she is asking is did the British leave too early (since they were already here)?

My answer to this is YES!

Angiefan has made very good points and has covered base on almost everything i can think of. All I will add to what she has said is Hong Kong. The British only left Hong Kong in 1999 and it was definitely a blessing in disguise for the country.

Nigerian journalists are clowns. They can make any situation funny. Read the bolded line below

He was reportedly buying boiled groundnut from a hawker on the Nembe Street when his assailants opened fire on him. [b]The groundnut was apparently his last meal because he allegedly threw some of the nuts in before the volleys of shot started coming.[/b]The first shot from the assailants according to the street sources hit one of the ground nut sellers who gave up the ghost immediately. Subsequent shots brought him down. One of the shots also hit the other girly assisting her sister to sell groundnut. And she was rushed to a trauma centre in the state capital.
Of what use is that info to us?

Thanks Largeback, Money well spent. Millions of dollars that could have gone towards improving the lot of some Nigerias was donated to an expatriate on a 3 month holiday in Nigeria. I trust Amodu would have achieved whatever 'realistic' target was set for him by the NFF as he has always done in the past but black man inferiority complex don scatter our brain.

No stories. I have a very close friend who thinks like this i.e The girl must get pregnant before I marry her. He met a babe, got her pregnant and they got married. The girl miscarried (fail 1). They tried again and gve birth to a girl and they seperated after only 1 year (fail 2). He hasnt seen his daughter for almost 3 years now. Getting a babe pregnant before marriage or trapping a man by getting pregnant guarantees nothing!

If we had a proper TV industry in nigeria there is absolutely no reason why bk/babe97 couldnt write a 3 part court drama for a TV station. Another wasted talent who is probably doing something he/she doesnt like while his/her real talents go to waste.

Politics › Re: Nigerian Senators Are Paid Better Than US Presidents by pappilo(m): 8:22am On May 29, 2010
To all the people saying the amounts are just allowances. In the UK an MP's salary is approximately £65,000 (N16 million)/ year. Last year an MP claimed on average, £145,000 (N35 million)in expenses and allowances. But in Nigeria a country that is not half as developed as the UK, 1 representative (MP) claims £2.3 million ( N560 million) in expenses and allowances for a year. Something is seriously wrong with that country.
