When you look at Aguero, you wonder what effect a top striker can bring to a team.

It's Chelsea's turn to attack now, let's see how they do it against the best attacking team of the league. Can't wait to parry.
does arsenal have a top striker

Yes they squander the money....but the painful thing is that the money is not enough in the first place.
If the little money as you call it is even used for the betterment of the people...niaja will not be where it is...
CelebritiesRe: Bruno Iwuoha Hospitalized In The US (Photo) by pickabeau1: 6:36pm On Aug 14, 2015
You wrote well but missed the elefant in the room

The little money Nigeria has is squandered by the political class and subverted to their own use





bushdoc9919:
Because quite simply, it costs money.....lots of money to build and maintain a good hospital in Nigeria.

Look at American hospitals. US citizens pay lots of money every year in taxes to get good amenities. Plus....hospital fees in the US are ultra high....and if you have insurance, you pay lots of money in insurance premiums to get good care. Plus, rich people in the US donate heavily to their hospitals.

And how about US med schools? Yes....medical students pay high fees, med schools and their parent universities have hefty budgets , and med schools too get heavy donations.

And standard regulatory agencies work well....because any small mess up, and the local governor can get sacked.

Yes.....Nigeria needs a standard hospital. But...if you want a system of standard hospitals in Nigeria....you have to pay the price in high taxes, and high hospital fees and insurance premiums....not this one where you pay heavily subsidised fees, and expect first class. And you have to make sure that PMB ins really interested in diversifying our economy away from oil....so that not only do we have the cash to pay for standard hospitals....but we even have the manufacturing capability to manufacture high grade equipment like MRI, CT , ECG, EEG and so on.(Because....lemme tell you....we have to import most of the things used in a standard hospital).

We do not have the money. Sad.

I think you need to read the local content policy again. It clearly denotes that there must be minimum number of Nigerians in the employ of a company making a bid.
Nope.. the intent of the local content policy is that you have Nigerians working..not a minimum number
you have to show why that job cannot be done by a Nigerian and then prepare a Technology Transfer Plan to show how you intend to nigerianise the job

Dude,... don't be arguing if u don't know ish

But seriously,as a father I won't advise or allow my son to marry such person...no matter how people try to make it seems it won't happen...I can't take such risks
Its dicey

For me its actually the future whichis more critical.. the past may be past BUT They are too busy to be a wife
Nairaland GeneralRe: Giving Women Quotas For "Representation" Is Discriminatory And Fraudulent by pickabeau1: 2:18pm On Aug 14, 2015
LordReed:
Let me help your comprehension:

Local Content Policy says Company X is coming into Nigeria to do business and is required to have a minimum of 20%(assumed figure I don't have the exact minimum required) of it's workforce to be indigenous. Simple definition of quota.

To increase female participation in STEM companies, employ at minimum 20% women. Simple definition of quota.


But for you one is good but the other is bad. Double standard or what?
That is not local content.. you did not understand... that's why uve been arguing since

Local Content says a Nigerian organization is to give a contract
It should be given to a Nigerian except it is shown Nigerians cannot do it

I am sure you know you need work permit to work abroad if u are not a citizen
IS that also a quota system..lol

It is because of the laxness of the expatriate work quota system that we need regulation to ensure Nigerians are given jobs

Or she might ignore her husband and family all in the name of pursuing her career and forget her wify duties...

So true.

My own predictions where based solely on the quality of players each side possesses. I think Chelsea has a strong first team but a much weaker bench. Same as City. United to me is confused because they want to buy stars which aren't available so end up with mediocres or those who have been rejected by their previous clubs. They would do better by sticking with building a team rather than buying 'stars'. Arsenal has the most balanced squad but lack quality in some key areas- your guess is as good as mine.
Lets see how the season goes
But the game against westham was expectred to be a bread and butter game..lol

LordReed:
I have stated that quotas are at best stop gap measures to combat certain ills. If this local content bill is a welcome development it goes to show that indeed quotas are beneficial and if properly managed can be made to deliver. Local content policy does not promote mediocrity as any company bidding for any contract must still demonstrate competence. Carry this over to any quota system to increase female participation, is that such a bad thing? There is no attempt to equate country to gender, I am simply pointing out parallels.
ok
Nairaland GeneralRe: Giving Women Quotas For "Representation" Is Discriminatory And Fraudulent by pickabeau1: 1:39pm On Aug 14, 2015
LordReed:
I don't have any problem with the local content policy, it is a wise step especially because of the perception that "only foreigners can make it work". If we can use quota to fight this kind of perception why does someone have a problem with using it to fight the "woman can't work like man" perception?
I am confused as to what the issue is..except you are equating a country to a gender

LordReed:

I think who (in terms of race or nationality) gets the job is irrelevant
however I think it wise to protect indigenous companies and workforce.
It is not irrelevant

The local content bill was made to address a wrong situation where indigenes (both male and female) were deprived in their own country to the benefit of foreigners.. from another country

why expose your own citizens to unemployment because u want to please foriegners

It is a bold move putting United ahead of City even if they sign Pedro.

Arsenal second with a striker called Giroud. Well. smiley
well its bold and I made it with the following premise

continuous team harmony for arsenal n the new keeper
The acquisition of sterling -a dud in my opinion,the injury issues of Aguero and Yaya's inconsistent form
United;s buying for buying sake and its impact on harmony

I am changing my top 4 predictions; the ranks and the players that make them tick...


Chelsea- Courtois, Terry, Ivanovic, Fabregas, Willian, Hazard, Oscar, Costa

Man City- Kompany, Toure, Silva, Nasri, Sterling, Aguero, (if they sign De Bruyne)

Arsenal- Cech, Ramsey, Ozil, Chamberlain, Cazorla, Sanchez

Man United- De Gea(if he doesn't leave), Schweinteiger, Mata, Depay, Rooney

Any objections?
Chelsea
Arsenal
United
City

Nonsense post op!!
You are advocating for a younger maid but pls are you sure you are not a pedophile. A man like you that can't control his erection will sleep with any lady around him.
May I ask do you sleep with your sisters. Self control bro. I fear for the woman who will marry you with this your write up.
I have lived with my sister for 7 years yet the hubby hasn't looked at me or any other woman despite the fact that I am more endowed than my sis front and back.
Change your mindset!!
