₦airaland Forum

Lets wee who will be come governor at the end of the day.

Good to see other league matches here but how many threads are we going to create? I am suggesting we have threads like this.

One thread for

England Premiership
La liga
Seria
International leagues ( Germany, france, holland, e.t.c )

Just four threads per weekend is enough, we can follow all the matches in a league from one thread and side talk in our club threads.

Please oo is just a suggestion chairman my sport moderator.

There are other teams lie inter, roma, juvi, lazio, palermo and napoli in seria

Ajax is playing psv today, twente vs az and in germany, leverkusen vs bayern, thread go yakpa this weekend ooo.

medjai:
Fernando Llorente and Iker Munian will wreck Madrid

No way are wey going to drop points on the way to el-classico, this match is even more important than the mid-week champions league.

We will rap it up quickly and rest our key players, then go to ajax to get a draw and prepare for the weekend. Anything less than a draw at the camp nou will be totally unacceptable.

What do you think? i am suggesting they merge la - liga weekend matches to one thread since we also follow other clubs like Villarreal, Valencia, athletico, sevilla and some African players. Then only el-classico will have a separate thread?

^^  Is stanley okoro now in almeria?   , if true thats really good for him ooo.

Yellows                    Juan Manuel Ortiz 4                      Gerard Piqué 4 

Please can you merge the real madrid thread to this and name it la liga weekend matches? we don't like jumping from one thread to another.

There are other matches i wanted to add to the list and it will not ne nice to create a separte thread. Here are the matches.

Villarreal ? - ? Valencia

Sevilla ? - ? Mallorca

http://www.goal.com/en/match/47847/sevilla-vs-mallorca/preview

The above two matches are also big in spain so lets merge it to one thread thanks.

try supersport.com

Thanks my guy, i know about super sport but they are asking me to link my dstv subscriber number with my account to watch the live streaming. I don't have that, i will just settle for the highlight.

How can i watch this match online?

^^ I am hoping so since technically they already qualified to the knockout stage right?

Help o. I wan change my profile pix but i can't find any save/upload button to to upload d new pix. Can someone help me out? 

Go to your profile and click on forum related information - - click on browse and upload your new pics.

Then scroll down to the very last bottom part of the page and when you get there scroll to the right and make sure you reach the end of it.

Then click on change profile which serves as the save button, you can also edit those info's in your profile as well with this method.

So many people have problem finding the change profile so just think of it as a square with four edges, the right bottom edge is where the change profile is located.

@1025

Why don't you state the name of your candidate so we can analyze him here and see his achievements too.

It is really terrible

@AjanleKoko

Off-course mixture of skill, pace and strenght is needed but it is all about the first eleven, who will be sitting on the bench and who is going to start?

I used t think it was Madrid that does not believe in their youth system, now i know better. Only bojan has been able to graduate and he is now warming the bench, dos santos is nowhere to be found and what about is younger brother? Make una take am easy oooooooo, na so una buy chynginrin abi wetin be him name and where him dey now.

@Pharoh,

No vex, so it is this same GEJ who has decided to back a depossed election malpractoce cheat, whose party is fill with very essence of thievry and corruption that is likely to do well. If you are telling me that you think GEJ is likely to be successful without dealing with the biggest scurge that faces us as a people, then I am afraid you are getting it very wrong.

We just saw a report that indictes Atiku for money laundering, Ibori probably one of the biggest criminals known to man and a big ochestrator of the ND crisis, his brother Another big thief. all walking free, and surprise surprise all belong to same party, and you think they can be an honest sense of purpose.

Sorry I will take my chances with Ribadu or Buhari, not that clown GEJ

So you want goodluck to fight corruption as if ribadu fought everybody when he was there? So atiku started thieving after ribadu was out of the EFCC? Ribadu was there when OBJ was stealing all the money and what did he do?, you think it is easy to tackle corruption? Hear this from me, there will always be interest and it depends on which side you are. Odili's wife used her influence in the judiciary to help her husband during his corruption case or you think a Judge will sentence his own son to death by hanging?

Man wake up, the only way to fight corruption in Nigeria is to secretly wipe out those corrupt people from the system and not prosecuting any fucking person. Ghana already did that and we can see how that is helping them or you prefer type we have today ala ribadu. Is tafa balogun not walking free now? alams of bayelsa is walking free now, bode George will soon walk free as well. igbinedion is walking free as well. mrs ibru will soon walk free as well. So is this your solution of fighting corruption, try ibori and atiku and after three months in jail they can all walk free or to wipe them out secretly?

tensor777:
Just die this your argument as it will never happen. However this your argument, no matter how misguided , is strictly a political matter to be discussed by politicians if indeed they can find the legislative time to discuss  such a non-starter.
In any case the security forces would still need to hunt down and exterminate these thugs and ruffians.

Are you more concerned about thugs than corruption? the same corrupt government shop exterminate ruffians without purging itself first. The three tiers of the Nigerian government just spend almost 5 trillion naira in ten months and you are not concerned about that?. So our problem is now thugs and ruffians? so what happens after we exterminate them? .

monkeyleg:
@Pharoh,

I disagree that GEJ is the only responsible candidate. The truth is that there are conflicting interest and he is not likely to deal with the issue objectively.

what is wrong with Ribadu or Buhari? you may not totaly agree with them but I think they are likely to provide a better outcome, they are probably the only people with enuff balls to tackle the issue head on.

He is the only to me because i am not in support of ribadu or buhari, you are talking about conflicting interest like ribadu and buhari are also expluded from that as well. Who told you obama does not have conflicting interest or will obama take any action that is not in favour of his sponsors without consulting them. Even obasanjo had conflicting and as far as nigeria is concerned there will always be conflicting interest.

What is ribadu and buhari bringing to the table that goodluck cannot bring as well? You should check your post again and see that it contains words like probably and likely which tells alot about your support for them. What issue do we need to tackle on that ribadu and buhari balls is now better than that of goodluck. Nigeria needs a president that is there for than just fighting corruption, because you have passion to fight corruption does not make you the best candidate.

Fashola is doing fine in lagos state without fighting corruption as you think, just put in checks and balances here and there. We need other things more than fighting corruption and i don't think ribadu and buhari are qualified for that. Ribadu has zero political or public administration experience, buhari is a former military personnel and you think he will just ride on like the 1980's? We are in a democracy now and there are many interest to deal with with no over riding power.

@Monkeyleg

At this moment there is no responsible candidate except goodluck s he is the best we have for now.

experience:
Can you or anyone for that matter list the precise steps or possible scenario in which the country will "explode"? Because the population thinks that everything is going fine. Just a few miscreants here and there. Theres no extent to which you would push the people to the wall: they would simply claw into even rocks to encourage you to push more.

"This kontry no dey explode!!!"

Something will always trigger it, it might be the coming election or the next election, this miscreants might step out of line and it will lead to the explosion. Don't worry when the country explodes only the survivors will comeback to this thread and see the reality. The jos centre is still a flashing point you know, the niger-delta as well is still a flashing point. The east waiting to be president is there as well.

tensor777:
And where exactly is this oil located off shore or on shore? In fact most of Nigeria's oil resources is located off shore so the derivation issue is a an irrelevance.
However you are shying away from the real reason why the FGN would never ever even contemplate ceding control of the oil fields. Namely that it is the main source of its internally generated revenue and by far the nation's top foreign exchange earner.

The other regions will have access to loans for the oil producing region in a federal system so they can develop their own resources as well. All these will be on the negotiation table so there is no point going towards the derivation principle because that's a topic for another day. The FGN does not need to control the oil fields because it will have the least responsibility which is simply defense and foreign relations or some minor internal issues. Most activities will be in the control of the local government and state government or regional government so they will be in charge of controlling the resources.

A nation survives based on the sum of its constituent strengths, nothing stops us from building our strengths in crude oil exploration, agriculture, production, manufacturing and exporting. Technology service, construction service in other African countries and many more. The continued control from the center is an impediment to our growth and you know it.

About 60,000 applicants turned up for the National Drug and Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) aptitude test in Lagos which held in the main bowl of the National Stadium on Saturday and Sunday.

Most of the large number of applicants that turned up for the test, which was held simultaneously in every state of the federation and the federal capital territory, expressed dismay at the high unemployment rates in the country. “The best thing is to leave this country, I am now convinced,” said Godson Anthony, one of the candidates. “My friends have been telling me all these years but I refused.” He also expressed dismay at the conditions under which he wrote the test. Candidates who came early were lucky to get seats under the covered VIP section of the stadium, while the rest had to sit in the blistering sun.

More problems

The test, which was scheduled to start by 10am, did not start until about 12.30 noon. “This is hell, how can someone write an exam under this scorching sun,” blurted an applicant. John Egiro, a graduate of the English Language from the Olabisi Onabanjo University, while commending the NDLEA for the flawless conduct of the test itself, noted that the main bowl of the National Stadium was not an ideal venue for such a test.

Kolawole Daniel, a graduate of Banking and Finance from Kogi State University, also complained that the candidates were compelled to place their scripts on their laps as there were no tables. “I placed the paper on my laps to enable me to shade the answer columns,” he said.

Kelechi Nnoruka, the Acting Commandant for NDLEA, Lagos State, blamed the participants for the delay. “Though I will not say we started late because we still finished within the expected time frame but any delay observed is due to the fact that many of the applicants found it difficult settling down,” she said. “We were here before everybody. They are well behaved, probably because they are all graduates and they know the kind of agency they are coming into.”

What manner of test?

Although, the applicants were forewarned about any malpractice, it was all too evident that the venue of the test, where applicants have to use their laps as writing desk, encouraged collaboration. Long after the test was declared over, some applicants were still writing theirs along the pavement that led into the stadium. “This is no exam at all,” said an applicant, who gave his name as Ayeni. “How do they expect to curb malpractices under this condition? Even the so called invigilators are already tired before the exam started.”

Many of the candidates also expressed apprehension whether the NDLEA will apply merit in its selection process. “There are some issues I cannot comment on and this is one of them,” said Mrs Nnoruka. “Such question can only be answered by the management.” She also refused to state how many applicants the agency hopes to employ. However, a source in the agency, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that the NDLEA plans to employ 2000 in each state. An estimated 60,000 candidates wrote the two-day tests in Lagos alone. Candidates also paid N1,500 as application fee.

60,000 times 1500 =    in lagos alone?  what about Port Harcourt and abuja

This people should stop taking application fees and don't they have screening criteria or what does is the connection between NDLEA and someone that studied english in the university.

From INEC, to the police, government and all, they are now collecting application fees.

tensor777:
All this things you are saying is just irrelevant speculation as the bandits have not told anyone they are kidnapping, murdering, despoiling, and extorting because they want true federalism or resource control.
That is a nonsense anyway as the oil is controlled by the FGN for the benefit of ALL Nigerians. You think the FGN would give up control of its main source of revenue because of a few ruffians.
What the goverment has been pussyfooting around is the matter of searching out and detroying the bandits and their shadowy puppet masters. They need to take that decision sooner rather than later.

With all due respect we are a federal republic and the federal government do no have absolute right to control every resources found in Nigeria. Prior to the land use act and before the civil war, the regional governments controlled the resources found in their environment and paid taxes to the center. that is the idea solution and we must go back to that.

If the federal government has been controlling these resources for the benefit of all Nigerians then they have failed woefully and have no moral right to control it anymore. Their control has led to rapid decrease in our level of education, poverty is on the rise and unemployment is so widespread then ever before. They have failed to cater for the citizens and what we have every where now is corruption, prostitutes, bandits, kidnappers and a dog eat dog situation in every aspect of our daily lives.

All our industries are collapsing every day, from the steel industries, to the textile industries, there are no groundnut pyramids anymore oil palm. where are the rubber plantations? where are the manufacturing companies. we do not have stable and affordable electricity, no access to clean water, shelter or a 21st century transportation system. we are lagging behind in technology and our competitive advantage is almost zero because we do not produce anything.

We are just a fucking huge consumer economy that only has crude oil exploration to show, so the federal government has no right to control these resources. They are a huge failure and an immediate negotiation is the first step to the solution of our problems or the country will explode.

Mr Duerulu:
What is the essence of planting churches at every 5 minutes walking distance? Do you think it's economical? For God sake, its cheaper having a big church at 15 or 20min distance that runs 2 or 3 sunday services.

Do we have effective property tax? but i believe even if we have the church will surely find money to pay since Nigerian citizens prefer to pay offering than to pay tax. They can contribute huge money to church projects but will never support any health, business or education project. Where i am three churches share one facility on Sunday since they will hold service at different times of the day. This same facility is a language school and a foreigners meeting point.

You hardly see banks having their own separate buildings, they normally take one floor and the rest is for shops and other services. but what did we have in Nigeria during the banking boom? they were competing and building banks on every street that was available and where are those today? I am sick of that country, so many problems and misdirection due to ignorance and underexposure. I pray we see the light someday.

mikeansy:
So that the mad cycle of the last 50years begins again?

We need to re-negotiate how Nigeria should work, otherwise we will continue this circus for another 50years.

Thats not me begging you to see reason, it is simply a statement of fact.

The circle will not go another 50 years before it will explode, even the united states has already predicted 2015. I believe within 20 years from now, if we do not comeback to the right path then this country will explode.

tensor777:
Even at that there should still be no concession to bandits. But seriously what is the population of bandits and how much firepower would be required to totally exterminate their menace.
Be that as it may there can be and will be no national conference or confederation as the sovereignty and unity of Nigeria is totally non-negotiable.

To me i still believe there are some genuine bandits and there are some of us that are angry with the system but has not taken up arms.  I am not in support of wiping bandits away if we cannot rid every corrupt entity in Nigeria. From the banks, market place, schools, government, street and religious places you find corrupt people. Maybe when we apply the Chinese approach of zero corruption then we can move forward.

You want us to exterminate bandits but is that the greatest problem facing Nigeria? why don't we start tackling this issue from the top to the bottom.  The unity and sovereignty is very much negotiable because even Gowon said that  there was no basis for our unity. The only thing uniting us is the crude oil exploration. We need to renegotiate our interrelations based on justice, fairness and true federalism then we are leaving no other option on the table except the explosion of the country.

The problem is that there is no path to true federalism or resource control through the NASS, the only option left is the explosion of the country.

Who else wants to win a presidential election in nigeria without rigging?

abagoro:
In what context?I personally do not trust religious leaders not to talk of politicians.

Secondly Jonathan has not made any statement for me to use as a reason for trusting or not trusting him.

IBB made a promise that he would de-centralize power and hand over to an Igbo in 2015 so if I was to vote on trust for that I would vote no.

So because he promised means he is going to fulfill it right?

hehehe. I preferred to watch Boogie Beebies with my toddler son instead.
RM's games are uber-boring.

Meaning you won't be watching classico? , you make me laugh with your boring shot. I guess people do not watch amateur league or division 4 games in England. Just wait till on the 29th when we will come and disgrace you guys in the camp nou. The galacticos are back with the beautiful game.

^^^ i really prefer benzie to higuain and hope he starts in classico . . . i can see madrid haterz are avoiding this thread.

The watch is on

This guys are very rough ooo, madrid players should be very careful
