It’s now Drinkwater is coming on

It’s game over.

CFC should concentrate on gaining at least 4 points from Qarabag and Atlético

Drinkwater should have gotten the nod tonight.

Fastest goal, so far, in this season’s UCL

The government has set Manafort and Gates bail at $10 million and $5 million respectively.

Paul Manafort and Rick Gates have been arraigned before the federal courthouse in Washington D.C., and have both pled "Not Guilty".

A federal judge blocked enforcement of President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender men and women serving in the U.S. armed forces on Monday.

“I am directing the Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the U.S. Coast Guard, to return to the longstanding policy and practice on military service by transgender individuals that was in place prior to June 2016,” United Stated District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote in her order.

This one is a proper JAMB question

But I'll go for Moyo Lawal. What gives her the edge is her pretty face; she's finer than the Ghana actress.

Trump’s ex-foreign policy adviser, George Papadopolous, has now admitted to lying to the FBI in the Russia investigation in violation of 18 USC Section 1001.

He faces up to 5 years in a federal prison if convicted of the crime.

joeace2020:
Faux news has got you covered on breaking news regarding Trump. No?

Fox News doesn’t disappoint.

Anyway, because both Manafort and Gates are indicted on essentially white-collar crimes, they will definitely be out by bail, as per Title 18, section 1956.

Both men aren’t charged with any criminal cooperation with Russia, or anything related to the campaign, so the White House may claim that it has nothing to do with them.

On the other hand, it speaks to President Trump’s bad judgment to have hired someone with such criminal tendencies to head his campaign.

i wonder oh,they can defend america like the america respect them and let me not talk about people that have green card,those one they are slaves,they cant vote in elections,cant be employed in some organisations and green card can be revoked anytime,also they are just comfirmed 3rd class citizens.

That's why I encourage people to become US citizens. Green card would save you the burden of paying high international student tuition, but as you said, some jobs will still be out of reach for you. Examples of such jobs are professional entry-level jobs in the FBI, or US intelligence agencies.

The money people are mentioning here is too much.

PDPGuy, come please. Are you also earning more than a MANAGER? Let me know how often to beg you money.

Haha.

Right now, I would say I earn as much as a manager

But the gist of the OP is accurate in a way. A bank manager, top exec in an oil and gas firm, businessman, or even entry-level oil petroleum engineer could plausibly be a home owner within 2-3 years of work.

But people, here, who earn less than $5,000/month (depending on the state they live in), may only be able to afford a one or two-bedroom rental apartment.

However, most essentials of life are affordable to people who are even earning minimum wage. A minimum wage earner can buy a bag of rice without sweat , can buy a plane ticket from the US to the UK, can even buy a car (with financing), and has access to health insurance via his/her employer.

In contrast, I’d wager that no more than 10-15% of Nigerian adult residents can afford a plane ticket to the UK or anywhere else in Western Europe, let alone the United States.

So, comparatively speaking, a bank manager in Nigeria has more disposable income than someone who earns $2,500/month in the US, but when it comes to the affordability of most essentials of life, both categories of individuals are on par with each other.

So England holds the U17 and U20 crown eh?.. una doh o
una don too try for football from the early days. una deserve am
Let's see if you will take that momentum to Russia.

They and Brazil are the only countries to win both trophies in the same year. Folks should watch out for the 3-Lions as from 2020. The combo of their present U-17 and U-20 will cause ripples in world football.

The lawyer should sue for damages (including property damage). It’s the only way the Police will learn their lesson and sit up. Their impunity can’t go on forever.

It's a vest which is a performance tracking and monitoring system using GPS technology you can harvest the data and use it analyse player performance, heart rate, distance, speed, etc

okay. But it could do with a more masculine design. Just saying.

Lol

Why are the players wearing sports bras? Looks a tad gay

Imagine England winning both the U-20
and U-17 world cups in one year!
With these successes, England will be a heavy favorite for the 2022 World Cup.

I was talking to my brother last night and he was wondering when the Special Prosecutor indictments would be coming out and I told him that going by Watergate that's kinda similar to Russiagate, it's going to take a while. You can tell their is panick in the White House because the Head honcho and his Mafiosi son Don Jnr and his other aides are lawyering up for the eventual hammer coming down. It will be a beautiful day for decent and honorable Americans to see this aberrant and despicable racist go away from our National conscience.

Haha

The way I see the whole situation is this: if the person(s) indicted include his son, there will be enormous pressure on President Trump to resign. Because it will be difficult for him to completely extricate himself from any illegal act perpetrated by Trump Jr, who was a top member of the campaign.

But if Gen Flynn is the one who gets arrested, the backlash may not be that severe cos the White House could claim that the early firing of the General shows that they did not condone his acts.

The first charges have been filed by the Mueller Special Prosecution.

They should both make decisions jointly. After all they are united as one, when married.

It’s England v Spain at the U-17 WC final.

England look like clear favorites to win Saturday’s game.

Abbeybailey:
@Armyofone and PDPguy, over to you my friends. The shiiiit is about to happen.

Chai. I have no qualms being an umpire. Someone is about to get richer..

happney65:
I wonder ohh..They live in the world of alternative facts..I was showing him the behaviour of a 71Year Old demented fool who hasnt made any success else to get into twitter fights with everyone he is just ranting and saying nonesense talk..I never knew obama got into twitter fights with members of his party..Never knew he went on fights with NFL Players..He was a world class Man with no scandal with a near perfect family not this one whos olosho wives where fighting in Public..

Even Bush, with the constant criticism over the handling of the response to Katrina, and war in Iraq, never publicly lashed out at every criticism of him. He was much more dignified in his conduct as president.

Of course, I’m expecting 95% of the players, who were called up for the last 3 games, to make the World Cup team. That’s just common sense. If Rohr only takes like 10% of the players who played in the qualifiers, I would immediately call for his sack.

At least, 16 or 17 of them (barring injury) will absolutely be part of the mundial. It is the other 6 or 7 spots that are really up for grabs.

If the likes of Onyekuru, Kayode, Aluko or Uzoho continue having fine performances for most of the remainder of the season, it will be difficult for Rohr not to give them a chance to show what they’ve got.

As for Enyeama, if he barely makes the bench for whatever new team he signs for, then Rohr may just have to drop him. However, it will be also a sad story if that happens, because a part of me wants Enyeama to create history as the first Nigerian (or even African?) to have played in 4 world cups.

I wish Dankwambo will throw his hat into the ring

MackyNaija:
Thanks.
30 outta 36 is a tough one, except the difficulty level is medium.

Driving test shouldn't be a problem, I have driven here a couple of times - at least once weekly in the last 6weeks.

Here, $25 is paid and the process is valid for 90 days - 3 chances to pass the written test and 3 chances to pass the driving test in the 90 day period.

Wow. Your state is quite considerate. Here, its only the initial drive test that is free.

Also, if you fail the drive test, you will have to wait two weeks after first attempt to retake it.

forgiveness:
Well, I don't know but If that be the case, what about Akpeyi who also was on goals for some games?

Akpeyi only played one WC qualifying game - the home game vs Algeria.

forgiveness:
First of all, the coach said Akpeyi is his 3rd choice, therefore Akpeyi is out of the equation and Ikechuckwu Ezenwa is now in to compete with the rest.


From what my eyes saw this night, if I am the coach I will bring in Uzoho because he is naturally good.


No 1

Vincent Enyeama

No 2

Daniel Akpeyi

No 3

Francis Uzoho

If NFF are dogmatic about Enyeama not going to the world Cup then


My number one is

Daniel Akpeyi


No 2

Francis Uzoho


No 3


Dele Alampasu

Rohr may have said Akpeyi is his 3rd choice keeper. But what happens to Ezenwa, who has played 270 minutes of WC qualifiers? I think it will be harsh to drop him, absent a drastic loss in form and/or injury.

So, can Uzoho displace anyone of Akpeyi, Alampasu or Ajiboye for one of the 3 GK slots?

MackyNaija:
Took the test and I just got home.

It was a Basic Knowledge Test
I am unhappy I put off writing this test for this long, I would have passed it if I wrote it a month ago.
I performed very well from the much I read, got 26 outta 30. You only need 21 correct answers to pass - I just deh give myself unnecessary anxiety.

It was a normal exam though tricky. Twas a nice experience.
Next week is the driving test, I suppose pass this one as per experienced Nigerian driver.

Documents I used for processing -
1. Passport and Visa
2. I20 and I94.
3. 2 Proof of residence - lease agreement and bank statement (they rejected my electricity bill; it had my address but didn't have my apartment number)
4. $25 fee.

Modified -
The test was to be taken over 480 minutes, I did it in less than 15minutes. It shouldn't take more than 30mins for most people.

Congrats! At least, the first half is done and dusted, now onto the 2nd important component.

In California, you'd have to score a minimum of 30/36 on the written test. And at the time I took the driving test, it was free. Then, if you fail the drive test, you get to pay a $5 fee to retake it (the fees may have changed though).
