It is Victor Moses Vs Alex Iwobi today!!!

Alex Iwobi starts as the LWF in Arsenal's 3-4-2-1/3-4-3 formation....

Victor Moses comes back into the starting lineup to star as Chelsea's RWB in their 3-4-3 formation...

Hey PDPGuy... what were you saying again?? What happened to your Zappacosta talk on benching Moses after Qarabag? looolll

Conte proved me wrong in a good way. I feared that he would find some flimsy reason to bench Moses. You know that a good number of Chelsea fans think that Moses is "not up to standard" for such a big club.

Keep up with the hard work. It will surely pay off in the end.

Meanwhile, here's a bit of trivia: Stanford, with an undergrad acceptance rate of only 4.65%, is the most selective university in America.
For the 2017/18 academic year, just 2,050 students were granted admission from a pool of over 44,000 applicants. That means 95% of applicants were rejected

Several Nigerians play college B'ball in the US... What are her stats? Why should she be considered?

She has the record number of blocks for her old high school team; plus she averaged like 6 blocks, and 12 points per game in Virginia's ACC season.

Felicia Aiyeotan should be considered for the D'Tigress. She plays as a center for her college team, University of Virginia.
And she also stands at a massive 6'9"

^^
Germany, Netherlands and France can't be in the same group, but any two of the aforementioned countries can be in a group. FIFA's policy goes against drawing more than 2 European teams into a group.

Honey, don't worry, your boyfriend would love your big ass

Can basketball be the 2nd most popular sport in Nigeria?

The recent successes of both D'Tigers and D'Tigress could grow the fan base of the sport in Nigeria, and attract more corporate funding for the NBBF.

Joebie:
Qualified for FIBA abi?

Nope

This tournament does not serve as a World Cup qualifier. There will be a separate qualification competition which starts next year. 5 teams will eventually represent Africa at the World Cup in China in 2019.

I'll gladly eat my humble pie and congratulate D'Tigers for advancing to tomorrow's final!!

They've greatly exceeded expectations.

FIBA should ensure that the glass is strengthened further.

you are forgetting they might work for 10 hours which in your own estimate is btw $75-$120 a day x 5 =$400 to 600 a week average of $2000 a month for a non professional E nor try ? and as for a single person all he needs is one room until he gets his legal status and decides to have a family then rent a flat as a single person why would he need that large space?Only people who have never lived abroad have this mind set, Single people live in rooms to save money for as long as they could no need renting massive apartment cos you want to show off. same in the UK

My main point is to dispel the notion that everybody living in the US is living large, or is super comfortable. I am only trying to paint a more realistic picture for some people who feel that because their friend, aunt or uncle makes $2,500 per month, then they are entitled to ask for 'just' $400 every month. That aunt still has other bills to pay aside her rent.

Of course, a student or single person doesn't need a 2-bedroom apartment or a house, so a studio/1-bed apt will be sufficient. Even many native Americans and people with legal authorization to work in the U.S., who are professionals and have one or two kids, still live in rented apartments.

What's $1 dollar to Naira again?
Let's stop deceiving ourselves if he does a menial job of $20 per hour calculate it for 7hrs multiply it by say 25days. Imagine he does 2 of those jobs. Just use ur calculator my sister dollar is N315 or so..lol

Lol.
No menial job pays as high as $20/hr. The most you'd earn will be between $7.50 - $12/hr doing such jobs, depending on the state you reside in. In places like New York, California or Washington D.C., such earnings can, at best, get you a studio or room rental. You'd certainly won't be able to even afford a one-bedroom apartment. Moreover, the job market in the US is super competitive too.

Congrats to D'Tigers! I didn't watch the game, but making over 50% of 3-pointers is impressive.

Chai. Some Nigerian women are just incredible

Franknetter, see what you were complaining about a while ago.

I wish the Falconets all the best

Time for me to start saving for the mundial

The first wave of tickets for the 2018 World Cup finals in Russia will go on sale on Thursday.

Fans will be able to submit their applications via Fifa's website and tickets will be sold in two phases.

Tickets prices will range from $105, for a group match, to as high as $1,100 (N401,500) for the final (for non-Russia residents).

Opening match ticket prices are $550, $390, and $220 for non-Russia residents. Other group games are priced at $105, $165, and $210, also for foreigners.

Ticket prices for the final (foreigners) are $455, $710, and $1,100.

All applications made in the first phase, before 12 October 2017, will enter a random selection draw if there are not enough tickets available to fulfil all requests. All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their applications by 16 November 2017.

The first phase of sales then concludes in the period from 16 November to 28 November, during which tickets will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Another phase will begin on 5 December after the draw is made and there will also be a "last-minute" sales phase from 18 April to 15 July, the day of the World Cup final.

As of now, all fans who are awarded World Cup tickets will receive them in the mail free of charge beginning in April or May of 2018. Fans who have match tickets will also be exempt from applying for a Russian travel visa and will be provided with free rail transit between host cities.

But they still use pit latrines at OAU

PaperLace:
They should just shut down the state.

I doubt Army is killing people in their homes.
I also doubt Hausas are going about killing people.

The only thing I am sure of is_there is currently unrest. Everyone seems to be awake and alert.

Regardless of the security situation in the state, what the army is doing - the so called Egwu eke - is unconstitutional.

The police hasn't declared that the situation is beyond their control, neither has IPOB launched an armed insurrection against the Nigerian State. So, I see no need for a shoki or python dance by the army.

We just pray that normalcy will return to the great state of Abia.

Chicks are literally everywhere. In church, in the library, at grocery stores etc etc. But honestly, the fear of women, unwanted pregnancies and child support is the begginning of wisdom.

I love the chicks

Incomplete story

4 EPL teams played at home. 2 Buli teams played at home

See logic

Joebie:
That's good, that should make him even better. Moses will still clock lots of minute. Remember Chelsea is involved in more competition this season. So they needed another player in that position for rotation sake. I expect Moses to come in late in this game

It's good sef. We want Moses fresh for the Zambia game

lexyman:
i think you re wrong on this , the standard of this game is low , Conte is smart to reserve one of his best legs ... you can pick from the back line.

and that Zappacosta goal was a fluke , his intention was to cross the ball in . please go and check and revert .

Yes, it was kinda flukey
But I'm not saying Moses won't play again for CFC this season. Of course, he will get some minutes against "lesser" EPL sides, FA cup and league cup opponents. Hence, he shouldn't go to another club in January.

Ibime:
Can we watch Chelsea match on Facebook live? I'm abroad and can't get into my BT Sport. Na radio wey I dey listen so

I'm not sure
Lemme check

Ok. Fb live is also showing the match via Fox Deportes

Zsppacosta has already sealed his starting spot with that goal

Moses should be content with FA Cup/League cup footy for the rest of the season.

Yep
Moses will play second fiddle to Zappacosta this season

For those in the US, you can watch Celtic v PSG on Facebook live.

fpeter:
so during her periods or ovulation, what will she do? Mstcheeew

She will have to wear pads

Hope Hicks has been named as the new permanent White House Communications Director.

lafflaff123:
Can a make-up artist afford a Lekki toilet to rent? you are smart, so you know now how they survive.

Nawa oh. Someone has to really shine eyes these days. But people have to survive, so I wouldn't really condemn anyone trying to survive thru any means (except robbery, kidnapping etc)

lafflaff123:
Bad pictures.

Why were they not taken from the front?so that the association of "vetters" can vet if the London Bridge has fallen.

70% of the Olosho's in Lagos State live in the Lekki/Ajah Axis. The funny part is that they all claim to be interior decorators, or make up artist.

Are you serious?! Because I know someone who is a make-up artist and also lives in Lekki.

somehow:
Are you serious? Is the FIBA world cup 2019? 5 countries from Africa? This is not football o.

Serious.
