If there is one thing that is certain this season, just know it's that Fabregas will be a starter this season. Of course, with the presence of Baka and Kante would free up Fab to be more attack-minded.

I really don't envy Conte's position this season cos he will have to make difficult decisions with regard to his starting 11.

I totally agree with you on that, but when you come from a family of politicians past and present, and you happen to be the only son of your parents. You definitely don't have a choice in the matter.
Wow
Your case is definitely special. As for me, I don't have that sort of pressure cos I'm not an only son/first son.

Anytime I remember this aspect of the wedding, I instantly get a migraine. I would love a registry wedding with a most 8 guests, but my family would have me murdered if I try any such thing, so mine is already a hugely large wedding by default. sad

Even vivalavida alone is already 50people put in one, cos my wedding party starts like 2 weeks before the actual wedding for him. grin grin grin

In my place, if you like have a list for 5 people, as long as people heard about it they will surely come. No need for invitation card sef.
Haha. I'll ensure that attendance is strictly by invitation for mine. It will be a maximum of 60 invitees on my guest list.
But it will be impossible to have a small guest list for the traditional wedding, that's if I marry a Nigerian.

2:the action of incorporating a racial or religious group into a community is called------
3: what three factors can see to its advancement
1. Dialogue: The government could invite representatives of the rebellious group(s) to a meeting on how to resolve the grievances of the latter. Dialogue should be initiated especially if the group in question has largely pursued peaceful means (protests, sit-ins etc) to show its displeasure with the status quo.

Furthermore, if dialogue fails, and the group(s) in question resort to violence, attacking innocent members of the public, then, the government will be well within its rights to use force in order to restore law and order.

2. Should be assimilation

3. unclear what you are asking about

Being a lesbian/gay person, by itself, isn't a crime according to Nigerian laws. The law only criminalizes same sex unions, public displays of same sex affections, and homosexual clubs and orgs.

Absolutely no law... The guy has committed no crime.... He is an adult... Above 18years same with his hordes of girls and an adult can do whatever he/she likes as long as they are not disturbing public peace.
What he is doing can be considered to be prostitution; after all he is paying the ladies for sex. And I think prostitution is illegal under Nigerian/Lagos laws. Not sure if production of pornography is legal there.

But of course, without hard evidence of payment for sex, it would be tough for the police to bring charges against him.
Politics › Re: Constitutional Amendment: See The Nine Key Areas Senate, House Of Reps Disagree. by PDPGuy: 7:12pm On Jul 28, 2017
klas:
Since 1979 to date, the law setting up the NYSC is included in the constitution which means it cannot be amended or abrogated by the normal process of law making by the National Assembly.

In order to abrogate/amend the nysc law, it will pass through the process of amending the constitution- two-third majority of each house of National Assembly and 24 states houses of assembly.

What they proposed to do in this constitution amendment is to move it out of the constitution so as to become an ordinary law that will require only a simple majority of National Assembly to abrogate or amend in future but it failed.
And I wonder why the House voted against such a move. It could be the members didn't fully understand the content of the bill.

this is so apt my dear, am so proud of your parents
i wonder why some gals think that a man should be a meal ticket, the other day i gave a girl a lift out of the rain, we exchanged numbers later she called me that she wants to hang out i asked her to come around and she did with her friends at a fast food after which i dropped them off

then later the next day she called me telling me about how the landord is bullying and wants to throw away her things over rents owed, i honestly though she is telling me dis cus of my proffesion then i told her the landlord has no right to do dat, thats its only the court that can evict her i asked her to give me the landlords number but she was silent then i asked her what she wants me to do...she said i should give her the money...i asked how much she said 80k...am like really amadioha fall on u

like serioualy its dis kinda of gals that comes on social media and talk about broke guyz...am i your father? so once i say hi to u i should inherit all your problems? what do u even have to offer me if am not broke? why should u even concern ur self with my brokeness? did they cut off ur hands to make money too?
That woman wasn't in danger of being thrown out, hence, she refused to let you talk to her landlord. She wanted you to be her maga. Maybe she knows that you work for a prestigious law firm, so she thought that you would easily give her N80k without questions. After all, you paid for her and her friends' lunch, so in her mind, you're now a reliable ATM. Smh for some ladies. They think its every man that would give throw N100k at them just like that.

d. In the case of Mr. Caldbeck and Binary, the investor and the firm have apologized, as has Mr. Caldbeck’s previous employer, the venture capital firm Lightspeed Venture Partners, which had received complaints about him.

“We regret we did not take stronger action,” Lightspeed said on Twitter on Tuesday. “It is clear now that we should have done more.”

Lindsay Meyer, an entrepreneur in San Francisco, said Mr. Caldbeck put $25,000 of his own money into her fitness start-up in 2015. That gave Mr. Caldbeck reason to constantly text her; in those messages, reviewed by The Times, he asked if she was attracted to him and why she would rather be with her boyfriend than him. At times, he groped and kissed her, she said.

“I felt like I had to tolerate it because this is the cost of being a nonwhite female founder,” said Ms. Meyer, who is Asian-American.

But even after she reached out to a mentor, who alerted one of Binary’s investors, Legacy Venture, to Mr. Caldbeck’s actions, little changed. Legacy went on to invest in Binary’s new fund. Binary and Mr. Caldbeck declined to comment.

“We failed to follow up on information about Mr. Caldbeck’s personal behavior,” Legacy said in a statement. “We regret this oversight and are determined to do better.”

In 2014, Sarah Kunst, 31, an entrepreneur, said she discussed a potential job at 500 Startups, a start-up incubator in San Francisco. During the recruiting process, Mr. McClure, a founder of 500 Startups and an investor, sent her a Facebook message that read in part, “I was getting confused figuring out whether to hire you or hit on you.”

Ms. Kunst, who now runs a fitness start-up, said she declined Mr. McClure’s advance. When she later discussed the message with one of Mr. McClure’s colleagues, she said 500 Startups ended its conversations with her.

500 Startups said Mr. McClure, who did not respond to a request for comment, was no longer in charge of day-to-day operations after an internal investigation.

“After being made aware of instances of Dave having inappropriate behavior with women in the tech community, we have been making changes internally,” 500 Startups said. “He recognizes he has made mistakes and has been going through counseling to work on addressing changes in his previous unacceptable behavior.”

Some venture capitalists’ abuse of power has come to light in recent years. In 2015, Ellen Pao took her former employer, the prestigious venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, to trial for allegations of gender discrimination, leveling accusations of professional retaliation after spurned sexual advances. Ms. Pao lost the case, but it sparked a debate about whether women in tech should publicly call out unequal treatment.

“Having had several women come out earlier, including Ellen Pao and me, most likely paved the way and primed the industry that these things indeed happen,” said Gesche Haas, an entrepreneur who said she was propositioned for sex by an investor, Pavel Curda, in 2014. Mr. Curda has since apologized.

Some of the entrepreneurs who spoke with The Times said they were often touched without permission by investors or advisers.

At a mostly male tech gathering in Las Vegas in 2009, Susan Wu, an entrepreneur and investor, said that Mr. Sacca, an investor and former Google executive, touched her face without her consent in a way that made her uncomfortable. Ms. Wu said she was also propositioned by Mr. Caldbeck while fund-raising in 2010 and worked hard to avoid him later when they crossed paths.

“There is such a massive imbalance of power that women in the industry often end up in distressing situations,” Ms. Wu said.

After being contacted by The Times, Mr. Sacca wrote in a blog post on Thursday: “I now understand I personally contributed to the problem. I am sorry.” In a statement to The Times, he added that he was “grateful to Susan and the other brave women sharing their stories. I’m confident the result of their courage will be long-overdue, lasting change.”

After the publication of this article, Mr. Sacca contacted The Times again to amend his original statement, adding: “I dispute Susan’s account from 2009.”

Many of the women also said they believed they had limited ability to push back against inappropriate behavior, often because they needed funding, a job or other help.

Their stories came out slowly, even hesitantly, at first. Then in a rush.

One female entrepreneur recounted how she had been propositioned by a Silicon Valley venture capitalist while seeking a job with him, which she did not land after rebuffing him. Another showed the increasingly suggestive messages she had received from a start-up investor. And one chief executive described how she had faced numerous sexist comments from an investor while raising money for her online community website.

What happened afterward was often just as disturbing, the women told The New York Times. Many times, the investors’ firms and colleagues ignored or played down what had happened when the situations were brought to their attention. Saying anything, the women were warned, might lead to ostracism.

Now some of these female entrepreneurs have decided to take that risk. More than two dozen women in the technology start-up industry spoke to The Times in recent days about being sexually harassed. Ten of them named the investors involved, often providing corroborating messages and emails, and pointed to high-profile venture capitalists such as Chris Sacca of Lowercase Capital and Dave McClure of 500 Startups.

The disclosures came after the tech news site The Information reported that female entrepreneurs had been preyed upon by a venture capitalist, Justin Caldbeck of Binary Capital. The new accounts underscore how sexual harassment in the tech start-up ecosystem goes beyond one firm and is pervasive and ingrained. Now their speaking out suggests a cultural shift in Silicon Valley, where such predatory behavior had often been murmured about but rarely exposed.

The tech industry has long suffered a gender imbalance, with companies such as Google and Facebook acknowledging how few women were in their ranks. Some female engineers have started to speak out on the issue, including a former Uber engineer who detailed a pattern of sexual harassment at the company, setting off internal investigations that spurred the resignation in June of Uber’s chief executive, Travis Kalanick.

Most recently, the revelations about Mr. Caldbeck of Binary Capital have triggered an outcry. The investor has been accused of sexually harassing entrepreneurs while he worked at three different venture firms in the past seven years, often in meetings in which the women were presenting their companies to him.

Several of Silicon Valley’s top venture capitalists and technologists, including Reid Hoffman, a founder of LinkedIn, condemned Mr. Caldbeck’s behavior last week and called for investors to sign a “decency pledge.” Binary has since collapsed, with Mr. Caldbeck leaving the firm and investors pulling money out of its funds.

The chain of events has emboldened more women to talk publicly about the treatment they said they had endured from tech investors.

“Female entrepreneurs are a critical part of the fabric of Silicon Valley,” said Katrina Lake, founder and chief executive of the online clothing start-up Stitch Fix, who was one of the women targeted by Mr. Caldbeck. “It’s important to expose the type of behavior that’s been reported in the last few weeks, so the community can recognize and address these problems.”

The women’s experiences help explain why the venture capital and start-up ecosystem — which underpins the tech industry and has spawned companies such as Google, Facebook and Amazon — has been so lopsided in terms of gender.

Most venture capitalists and entrepreneurs are men, with female entrepreneurs receiving $1.5 billion in funding last year versus $58.2 billion for men, according to the data firm PitchBook. Many of the investors hold outsize power, since entrepreneurs need their money to turn ideas and innovations into a business. And because the venture industry operates with few disclosure requirements, people have kept silent about investors who cross the lines with entrepreneurs.

Sports › AFN Name Okagbare, Amusan, 10 Others For IAAF Worlds by PDPGuy(op): 5:22am On Jul 28, 2017
Sprinter Blessing Okagbare-Ighoteguonor and sprint hurdler Tobiloba Amusan will lead a team of 12 athletes to compete at the 2017 International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) World Championships in London, England, from August 4 to August 13.

Okagbare-Ighoteguonor, who will be making her fourth competitive appearance at the IAAF flagship event, will compete in the 100m and long jump events. The six-time Nigeria 100m champion won a long jump silver and a 200m bronze in her second appearance at the championships four years ago in Moscow, Russia.

Amusan, the second fastest Nigerian nay African woman (12.57 seconds) in the sprint hurdles after African record holder Glory Alozie (12.44 seconds), will be making her debut in the championships and will compete in the 100m hurdles.

Others listed for the championships are reigning Commonwealth Games long jump queen Ese Brume who will be hoping to leap at least two steps higher than her fifth place finish at the 2016 Rio Olympics, another debutante Glory Onome Nathaniel in the 400m hurdles as well as the quartermile trio of Patience Okon-George, Yinka Ajayi and Margaret Bamgbose.

Okon-George, semi-finalist in the event two years ago in Beijing, China at the 15th edition of the championships, will also lead a 4x400m relay quartet comprising of herself, Ajayi, Bamgbose, Emerald Egwin and Abike Egbeniyi.

For the men, home-boy Samson Nathaniel will be making his debut at the championships and will compete in the 400m while the USA-based duo of Chukwuebuka Enekwachi and Edose Ibadin will also be making their first appearance at the championships.



Enekwachi will be competing in the Shot Put event following his impresive 21.07m throw almost a forthnight ago in Cork,Republic of Ireland while Edose will compete in the 800m and become in the process the first Nigerian man to compete in the two full laps race in the history of the championships.

Edose holds a personal season's best of 1:45.87 which is a Nigerian record and makes him only the second Nigerian to run inside 1:46 seconds in the event.

Nigeria have won a total of eight medals in the champioships made up of four silver medals (Innocent Egbunike in the 400m in 1987;the 4x100m men in 1997,Glory Alozie in the 100m hurdles in 1999 and Blessing Okagbare in the long jump in 2013) and four bronze medals (Ajayi Agbebaku in the triple jump in 1983; the men's 4x400m team in 1995, Francis Obikwelu in the 200m in 1999 and Blessing Okagbare in the 200m in 2013).
