Speaking of making history, Gigi Buffon will likely be the “most experienced” player at the 2018 World Cup. He was Italy’s 2nd choice keeper at the 1998 World Cup. And he has played for the senior national team for 20 years now

Haha

I can relate with the depiction of the interior of women’s cars as dirty cos I’ve entered a few of those.

But the pic of the stereotypical scattered men’s bedroom doesn’t apply to me sha. I ensure things are packed in an orderly manner.

FIFA RESPOND TO FAZ PROTEST ON NIGERIA VS ZAMBIA OFFICIATING

---

''In this context, we refer your association to article 15 par 6, of the regulations of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, which clearly stipulates that no protests may be made about the referee’s decisions regarding facts connected with play. Such decisions are final and not subject to appeal,'' Deputy Secretary to Fifa's Disciplinary Committee Julien Deux stated in the letter to FAZ.

''Having said that, and for the sake of good order, we would like to emphasize that on the basis of the documentation and information currently in our possession, there is no evidence of any infringement of the applicable regulations by the referees of the match in question.''

Culled from AllNigeriaSoccer

Of course, I agree with the FIFA Deputy Secretary on this one. People forget that the reason why FIFA ordered the South Africa v. Senegal match to replayed was that there was substantial evidence implicating the Ghanaian referee of match-fixing.

But, so far, there has been no credible evidence of match-fixing from the official who oversaw the game in Uyo.

Hopefully, he will take the SF to greater heights i.e. a World Cup semifinal

If the designs are actually implemented, this airport will easily be the most beautiful in Nigeria. No question about it.

I've witnessed two scenarios where an ATM dispensed fake naira notes and I'm sure those notes were not there by mistake.

Really? That's so wrong on many levels

Its not only American groupies who are being imported into Naija; the big boys in Lagos and Abuja also fly their curvy East African harems into Nigeria.

'NOT GUILTY' ke? Despite the weight of evidence?......This is going to be very interesting.

Someone somewhere is trying to be smart by half. Although we are aware that the incompetence and corruption of the Nigerian Police is of Legendary proportions, the high profile nature of this case will not give room for any shenanigans...

Many heads will roll if this dare devil kidnapper is released to the society in what ever guise.

Sorry Naija police, this one don over una! .....we are watching!

Well, the only person trying to be smart is Evans because he his within his rights to plead either “Guilty”, or “Not-Guilty”.

His plea is no guarantee that he will escape conviction.

The first issue of Playboy magazine out after the death of Hugh Hefner also happens to be the first ever to feature an official transgender playmate.

Ines Rau, 26, calls posing fully nude a celebration of her "coming out"; but some fans are upset over her inclusion and say they'll stop buying it as a result.

The Paris-born fashion model has featured in Playboy before, but she's making history as the first transgender Playmate with a pictorial and centrefold.

"I'm an advocate for anyone who is scared to be who they really are because they fear being judged or rejected," says Rau.

"They should be empowered by their differences and not be who society tells them to be."

While Playboy itself is heralding Rau's photoshoot as progress, some of their customers are making their unhappiness known on the magazine's official Facebook page.

"When I open a Playboy, I expect to see women, not some guy who identifies as a woman, or some former male who has had the surgery to become female," says Bob Reid.

The american educational system is very intense...
In the past 5 days -

Thursday was the reiteration that we should go read 10 chapters for the midterm exam.

Did a 6 hour round-trip on Friday to unwind, I cannot go madt reading books. Lost so much time though.

Turned in an assignment on Sunday, had to rush through Friday's assignment due on Monday

Turned in an assignment on Monday, told to prepare for midterm exam. This one should be easier.

Getting set to take a midterm exam today, Tuesday. Did I cover all 10 chapters?? When I reach hall, I go know..

An assignment is due on Thursday (will I be able to meet the deadline?), also we have the Fall Carnival then or have I forgotten the Carnival date?

Another exam is on Friday, na wa o.



Overall, no time to drink beer or chase woman...
If I had a job, how I for take deh manage this kinda workload??

I deh go - need to complete my 'cheat sheet' (legal expo). Oshe!

I remember when I was an undergrad, I used to wonder how some of us find time to combine work and school. Because in this country, at least one or two assignments are due every week.

As it stands, a Chelsea draw in Rome will seal qualification to the round of 16.

Ibime:
You mean Onyekuru has not yet been capped? No be him dey bully Simon Moses for Belgian league since?

My mistake. I just discovered that he had one cap for Naija

sod09:

Yeah
He is in the Coach’s plans and will most likely play against Algeria next month.

sod09:
This Henry onyekuru Sabi oo, he's giving psg problem

That’s why he is highly wanted by Gernot Rohr. He will do wonders at the World Cup

DonCandido:
Why must the Super Eagles play friendly match with England each time we qualify for the World Cup? Have guy noticed that each time we play friendlies with them, we end up doing badly at the World?

I would have said the English team are purveyors of bad luck for the Supet Eagles but then their wicked Embassy people may be reading this and not grant my Visa application.

Let NFF try Brazil, France, Portugal or Argentina for a change biko.

The last time the Super Eagles played a friendly with England was in 1994, prior to the world cup that year.

The reason you are not supposed to be a lawyer. "It would have been announced publicly" really?? I feel sad for your clients. The onus is not on the defence now, is on the prosecutor FG that invaded his house to prove that he is not in their custody but the facts speaks for itself and the fact is this, they invaded his house, they now must provide information on where he is.

As of now, I’m not a lawyer. But if the FG has Kanu in military custody, it doesn’t make much sense for the same FG to prevent his appearance in court.

Or is the government so desperate to forfeit Senator Abaribe’s N100 million, that it would play dirty tricks in this matter?

The issue, here, is that for some reason, Mr Kanu seems to have jumped bail. If he has been kidnapped, then the folks who posted bond would appropriately argue that exigent circumstances exist because, for all we know, he could even be dead.

msld:
As a lawyer you are, you do not know that exigent circumstances prevails as a precedence. The invasion of his house by armed men, absolves all bail sureties from any liability. Is for Nigeria army to explain the reason of the invasion, to destroy evidence, to carry out extra judicial killing or to manipulate justice process. First year law student will thrash that ruling in a higher court easily.
Till Nigeria army present Kanu, sureties can sleep fine, the judiciary does not listen to sentiments or news.

Well, if the Nigerian Army has Kanu in custody, it would have been announced to the public.
After all, his group is now legally recognized as a terrorist organization (which I disagree with), and thus, the Nigerian Army has the authority to go after the leader of the said terrorist organization.

Moreover, it will hr tough to prove, in court, that the alleged invasion of Kanu’s home by the Army is the actual and/or proximate cause of Kanu’s failure to appear before the FHC.

So, the FG could argue that exigent circumstances does not apply here.

Lol

Senator Abaribe, bail is non-refundable. The whole purpose of bond/bail is to ensure that the defendant (in this case, Kanu) appears in court.

As Nnamdi Kanu has refused to honor a valid court summon, those who paid bond for him have to forfeit the money to the court.

Guys, is the sacking of Shakespeare really much ado about nothing? (BBC)

Some people seriously think someone of Rohr’s personality will hold an “open” camp prior to the World Cup? That is clearly a pipe dream.

At the very least, Rohr will invite 7 other players to the 23 he invited for the last three WC qualifiers, for his FIFA-mandated preliminary 30-player squad list.

I wouldn’t expect the coach to name more than 5 new faces to his final 23. The players who I think are in danger of missing the World Cup are Ahmed Musa, Alampasu, and Mikel Agu.
Osimhen (or Abraham) could take Musa’s spot. Uzoho, if he stays with Deportivo’s first team, could give Alampasu a run for his money. The need for another midfield controller may see Our favorite - Joel Obi (if he is fit) - replace Mikel Agu.

Moreover, I wouldn’t put it past Rohr to name 8 defenders to the World Cup, with Akpoguma deputising for Shehu at RB, Echiejile as back up to Aina, and Uduokhai and Awaziem deputising for the Oyinbo wall.

Icon79:
And I would let to get either one of these trio in our group:

Poland
Portugal
Russia

But trust FIFA to put us in the group of death, especially if we find ourselves in pot 3. Don't be surprised if we get this grouping:

Brazil
Italy
Korea Republic
Nigeria

or you can get:

Germany
Uruguay
Mexico
Nigeria

All I know is that if FIFA goes through to form, Nigeria should be in the group of death. Since I started following soccer, the strongest African teams almost always end up in the group of death. FIFA knows what they are doing.


O pari

I know, right. But this time, outside the top 10 Euro/South American teams, Nigeria can give any other team a run for their money.

goldfish80:
Europe's high coefficient have benefited Poland on this one. When was the the last time Poland qualified for the World Cup to deserve being seeded?

The FIFA rankings surprise me too. I still don’t understand how the complex coefficients work. Poland’s last WC appearance was in 2006.

Ibime:
Poland and Russia? Football done spoil.

They should just give us Russia or Poland group abeg.

Yes, Russia will be the weakest of the seeded teams. But don’t forget that Spain, England, Italy (if they make it) will be in Pot 2. So, it could still be a tough group for us.

Per FIFA rankings, the eight seeded teams for the World Cup draw will be: Russia, Germany, Brazil, Argentina, France, Portugal, Poland, and Belgium.

It’s now official, the 8 seeded teams at the World Cup will be:

Russia
Brazil
Germany
Belgium
Argentina
Portugal
France
Poland
