Away from the Hazard debate, I’ve got another trivia question:

Which FIFA World Cup was the first to be broadcast in High Definition?

A. 2002
B. 2006
C. 2010

COdeGenesis:
i SEE WHERE THEY KEEP ALL THE BAGS OF RICE THEY SEIZE

Lwkmd

But seriously, I’ve always wondered why all the top female officers in both the Immigration Service and Customs are overweight?

queenfav:
I didn't want to talk o, cos if i start to talk eh! Yea the guy is somewhat right.. I know a married man with a child earning 15k monthly working in a medium sized firm. The appearance fee he was promised never comes regularly.To feed his family is a big issue!Some clients would rather pay your appearance fee with thanks and prayers.
.
Law will make u rich if you are from a highly connected family where good briefs can fall on your laps, or after many years of blood, sweat and tears. I don't know how to convey all my thoughts o, but finally being a lawyer is not as great as it's cracked up to be. Just last week, a lawyer who is 20 years at the bar, was begging my colleague for 500 naira to eat at Court of appeal canteen. I almost cried because people seeing him outside would assume he is making it big. He has been owing his counsels in Chambers salary of 25k for about two months now.


.
I have been practicing law since 2014 and trust me, the personal briefs i have gotten hasn't fetched me up to 250k!Not to discourage the op o, but be prepared for life after law school. It's not rosy at all.My first job after service was with N10000 pay. I had to rely on my savings to get by, because that money couldn't even feed me in two weeks.
.
By all means go to law school, but i beg you in God's name.. Have a skill, business or talent that will feed you.. Law won't give you the big bucks except u land a juicy job or come from a family with connections. So Yes some lawyers are 5 years at the bar, if you take them to the bank. They can't boast of 200k account balance!.
.
If someone had been honest with me, i would have saved myself the long years of studying law by going for mass communications, then used the One million naira plus i spent in law school on books, feeding, fees, living expenses etc to quietly set up a business. By now i would have had chains of businesses. Anyways, thank God for opening my eyes.
.
In the law firm i work, all of us have businesss we combine with work to make extra cash. Two of my colleagues sells cars. One is into Digital branding, another does food supply from the North to hotels and restaurants (carrots, irish potatoes green peppers). The profession is over saturated. Only the older lawyers are cashing in big time, most new wigs are left to wallow in poverty. Just best to have a back up plan, so you don't get lured into doing anything dirty for money.
.
Recently, someone was gisting me about a girl who attended the same university with me. As we speak she does runs to survive, alongside her job of 20k in Warri. She does rich married guys to meet up with her bills.You can imagine a professional trading her body for few crumbs. It is well o, just be smart, that's all. (Do pardon the typos)!

Wow

I even heard that some fresh lawyers earn as low as N10k/month. Even in the US, the market is somewhat saturated, but if you get a position within the US Attorney’s office, or a corporate/patent law gig, then you are set.

As for the lady doing runs, her predicament is a symptom of the Buhari economy. It’s terrible.

Looks like CIV are out

somehow:
Ok.


Between Agu and Ogu, I rather go with Ogu.

Ogu can do everything Agu can do but Agu can't do all that Ogu can do.


We all saw this. Rohr, please if you are to use any of the 2, please go with Ogu.

We need midifielders who aren't shy of shooting and who can gladly cover all spaces available.

But the worry is that if both Mikel and Ogu start at the same time, the midfield will be to slow and could be overrun by the opposition midfield that has lots of pace.

somehow:
You meant Brahimi?

Yes
My mistake

FIFA aren't playing oh.

Every match at world cup will be covered by 37 cameras

Nihilist:
Wasn't hope solo accused of assault a few years ago

Yes. She was accused of assaulting her nephew. The offense was so severe that she was charged to court for it.

But she fit beat Blatter well well o, judging from this pic

I'm suggesting a 4-2-1-3 formation for the Super eagles on Tuesday cos the "fantastic five" of Icardi, Dybala, Higuain, Di Maria, and Aguero would surely cause lots of problems for Nigeria.

So, either John Ogu or Michael Agbo could partner Ndidi in the midfield pivot in order to provide effective cover for the defense.

Its interesting to note that there could be as many as five Middle-Eastern countries at the world cup.

Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iran have already booked their tickets to the mundial. Morocco and Tunisia could join them later today.

MetalJigsaw:
You prefer Agbo to Ogu?

Agbo is the more defensive player, and will help Ndidi in shielding the defense. With Aguero, Icardi, Higuain, and Dybala on the pitch, the SE will need to be defensively solid. However, Ogu can still get his chance in the 2nd half.

I won't be surprised if Uzoho gets the nod to man the goal on Tuesday. He's done well in his previous matches with Deportivo La Coruna.

raumdeuter:
You heard the one against George HW Bush too, a man on wheel chair, They said when he reaches out to hug his hand always land on the women backside. When you sit down and reach out to hug where is your hand likely to land on a person standing

Moreover his wife was always beside him

Yes.

That one is the most ridiculous yet. Of course, the old man's hands will only reach the waist or ass of someone he is hugging because he is confined to a wheelchair. Sometimes, I just think people just want their 15 minutes of fame.

My line up against Argentina:

-----------------Uzoho---------------

--Shehu---Ekong---Balogun---Aina---

-------------Ndidi----Agbo---------

----------------Mikel-----------------

---Iwobi-----Kayode---Onyekuru

Ebuehi, Etebo to come into the game in the 2nd half.

Lol.

Its like this is the season of sexual assault revelations.. The latest victim is Hope Solo, who is accusing Sepp Blatter of sexual assault during a Balon Dor ceremony. She says he grabbed her ass backstage.

realpoacher:
All the "analyst" on this thread won't see this, it's to name all their players to play in a match as if more than 11 players can be on the pitch at the same time.

Very ignorant, ungrateful & negative lots!

Lol.

We ended up conceding only 2 goals from open play in 8 WCQ matches.
I also learned that Nigeria's 36-game WCQ unbeaten run is only second, worldwide, to Spain's run.

I will be surprised if this referee is chosen to officiate at the World Cup.

The laws of the game mandate the ref to show a red card to a player who headbutts another. But this ref only gave Slimani a yellow

Humility017:
tai....please don't go there...
please.

He scored a classy goal na

In 8 WCQ matches, the Super Eagles have only conceded 3 goals, 2 from open play.

This is probably the best defensive display by a SE team in a World Cup qualifying series.

Ogu is a baller !

This England v Germany game is the first ever match in England to have the VAR system.

Oasis007:
Seem Eagles are playing with a new Jersey Model?!

Which looks better than the previous one

Napoleon55:
which formation are we playing with this line up?
is it 4-3-3?

It’s 4-3-3.

Congrats to the Teranga Lions of Senegal!

T-60 minutes

As it stands, Senegal are heading to Russia.

Abagworo:
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is one of the greatest women in modern African history and the only female President ever to emerge out of Africa.

You forgot about President Joyce Banda of Malawi

Ever since I set my eyes on her, I felt that there was something about her that was so special.

Her beauty, world class acting ability, and meekness blow me away anytime I think about her.

Tonto, no matter what haters say (including Churchill), you’ll forever have a soft spot in my heart.

Good luck on your exam, Ibime.

ehie:
where do they get these inhumane judges from

While I agree the judgment was inhumane, the judge is only applying the law to the facts of the case.
The prosecutor proved beyond all reasonable doubt that the convict committed robbery at gun point. Armed robbery carries an automatic death sentence even if the robber stole N200; as long as he/she committed the offense using a firearm.

Icon79:
Sling TV? Do you like it? How does it work? Do you get all the channels, including movie and sports channels? How much do you pay per month?

I am thinking about making a change because Verizon is killing me with charges. Problem is, even if I find a cheaper TV service they would jerk up their internet fees!


O pari

Yes. I’d rate their service 9/10 just because the streaming breaks off, occasionally, when it’s projevted to a tv via chrome cast. But other than that, they’re pretty decent, even to the extent of providing On-demand videos.

There are 3 subscription options:
Sling Orange - $30/month. Carries FS1 and FS2, and ESPN plus other networks for news, movies etc

Sling Blue - $25/month. Carries only Fox Sports channels, but no ESPN

Sling International- $10/month. This is the one that carries BeIN and some non-US Sports channels (it doesn’t carry Super Sports though).

There’s a 7-day free trial period with any of the subscription options. It’s after the free period expires that your card will be charged.

Icon79:
Yup. I had already programmed a reminder on my DVR - 3 days in advance


O pari

Nice

I don’t have DVR capability cos I’m using Sling TV. There should be replays of the games in case I don’t get to watch them live.
